Pent, How to enable Tasker from another app?

[LPS]

Pent,

I occasionally crash my Tasker due to various reasons. Nothing to do with Tasker itself, but due to the combination of the way I run tasks and my ROM. To overcome this, I wanted to build a fail safe. So, I created an app using app factory to monitor if Tasker is running and load it when the app detects it is not running. The problem I am running into is, how do I enable Tasker once I load it? 

We had a discussion about this in another topic and here is the link for your reference. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.

Crashing won't disable it. As you noticed, just loading the app won't start the monitor either.

You could try sending it an empty intent with Send Intent.

The package is net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
The class is net.dinglisch.android.tasker.MonitorService
Type is 'service'.

Thanks for the reply.

I believe you meant "tasker" not "taskerm" in the package name? Because I tried "taskerm" and nothing happened.

So I created a Send Intent task as you said and ran it. Although the Tasker "Active" notification icon appeared, none of the profiles came alive. I also noticed the "OFF" button did not turn "ON" and I get a flash warning "Tasker is disabled".

Any idea what is happening here?

taskerm is the designation of the the market version of tasker. The only reason you'd have just tasker is if you're using the direct download version.

You said that Tasker was 'crashing' not that it was becoming disabled (the top left icon is grey in the UI).

Which is it ?

I have an Android 2.3.4 phone and the Tasker version is 1.6u2. When I launch Tasker after it crashed, it is not automatically enabled. So, I guess the answer to your question is "how to enable it?"  Hope I am making myself clear.

You mean the button bottom right shows 'Off' and is not lit up green ? That's what 'not enabled' means.

Yes. You are right.
