To launch an activity

[Niyon S V]

Hi,

I want to launch the Google Play Services' permission window activity. I found it's activity as - com.android.packageinstaller.permission.ui.ManagePermissionsActivity. Though I'm not sure if this is the right one.

Can anyone please help how to launch this activity directly? I tried the 'Send Intent' one but didn't work.

[Marta Hintz]

Can't you use tasker launch app and select service from the bottom menu for the app?

[João Dias]

Yes, Send Intent should work :) Can you please export your task's description (not xml) so I can take a look? Long-click the task in Tasker->export description Thanks in advance

Thank you for your contact.

Yes I tried early but didn't find it from that menu.

Oops, I always forget to provide the details ;)

This is the description:

Launch Play Services Permission Screen (46)
A1: Send Intent [ Action:com.android.packageinstaller.permission.ui.ManagePermissionsActivity Cat:None Mime Type: Data: Extra: Extra: Extra: Package: Class: Target:Activity ]

Is there anything wrong? I still don't know if this activity can launch that window.

[João Dias]

You have to set that in the Class field, not the Action field. Also, try setting set the Package field to  com.android.packageinstaller

Thanks, but that didn't too work. Here's the new description.

Launch Play Services Permission Screen (46)

A1: Send Intent [ Action: Cat:None Mime Type: Data: Extra: Extra: Extra: Package:com.android.packageinstaller Class:com.android.packageinstaller.permission.ui.ManagePermissionsActivity Target:Activity ]

Is there anything still missing?

[João Dias]

Unfortunately I don't know. Where did you find that activity exactly?

Thanks for the reply. I got it from an app that shows the current activity - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.willme.topactivity.

[João Dias]

I see. The activity is probably not exported so it can't be launched from other apps...

Okay, anyways thank you so much for the reply.

Now I'm using 'auto input' to trigger this:
1. When Google Pay app tapped..
2. Launch 'App Info' of Google Play Services
3. Taps 'Permissions'
4. Taps 'Phone'
5. Then taps the 'Deny Anyway' button on the dialog box

But here, the 'Phone' is not get clicked by the Auto Input. Instead it clicks the 'Microphone' label.

Can you please help on this?

Here's the details:

Test 6 (88)
A1: App Settings [ App:com.google.android.gms ]
A2: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Stored Action: Settings - 'Permissions' - Click Timeout (Seconds):23 ]
A3: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Stored Action: Package installer - 'Phone' - Click Timeout (Seconds):23 ]
A4: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Stored Action: Package installer - 'DENY ANYWAY' - Click Timeout (Seconds):23 ]

[João Dias]

Can you show me a screen where Phone should be clicked?

Thank you for your contact.

Sure. Here's the link to the photos. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hC5nNm7CQcnvxBDk6 (Please tell if you can't access the link)

I've highlighted the steps in these screenshots. These are the steps I created.
1. Goes to Google Play Services Permission settings
2. Clicks Permissions
3. Clicks 'Phone' (but clicks 'Microphone')
4. Clicks 'Deny Anyway'

Hi, is there any problem with these steps?

[João Dias]

Sorry for the late reply.

Try it this way:

    Test (2)

    A1: App Settings [ App:com.google.android.gms ] 

    A2: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text

    Value: Permissions

    Action : Click Timeout (Seconds):20 ] 

    A3: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:1 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] 

    A4: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: List

    Value: 7

    Action : Click Timeout (Seconds):20 ]

Wow thanks!! It worked. I tried to resolve this in many ways but didn't think this way. The position here was 8th (Phone) not 7th (Microphone), no problem I changed it.

But I still have one doubt, why the 'text value' won't work here even if it is set to 'Phone'? The 'Permissions' text value works but this don't, why?

[João Dias]

Because "Microphone" also has the word "phone" in it :) Glad it works!

😂😂.. I also thought about that, but also thought that it could be wrong.
