Thanks Joao but NO!
I want to control TASKER by voice not a different APP such as YouTube i.e. Tasker + AutoVoice to control Tasker not Tasker + AutoVoice to control something else. I can't use AutoInput as I can't bring up another Tasker screen while I am IN Tasker and being in a Plugin IS being in Tasker.

I am using Tasker as a development tool (I thought that was what it was). I'm asking about INTERFACING with Tasker. Sorry, Pent, do I have to register somewhere as a developer to post here? I really, really don't understand.

Regards,

Andy

You can interact with Tasker too :) You just need to check the "Is Tasker action" option under advanced in the "AutoInput Action" TAsker action and you're good to go!

Thanks again Joao.

I see where I was going wrong. I was trying to jump into Tasker from an Autovoice command rather than using Autovoice to start the Tasker App. Stupid of me.

Andy

Hi Joao,
Either we are talking at cross purposes or I'm missing something. I can, of course, use Autovoice and Autoinput to tap on a Tasker screen. What I am unable to do is easily find WHERE to tap. As an example, I want to tap on "Tasks" on Tasker's main screen. I go into Tasker, set Autrovoice received and then AutoInput as a task. I cannot see the main Tasker screen and cannot user AutoInput to help find the co-ordinates because I am on the AutoInput screen. If I try to go to Tasker's main screen to find the co-ordinates I cannot as I cannot move away from the Autoinput screen. Am I doing something wrong? I so can you put me right, please?

I THINK I need to invoke AutoInput from outside Tasker or use AutoInput in Tasker on a Tasker alternative. OR I need a Tasker clone.

I can work out the approximate co-ordinates by going into Android Settings, selecting Developer Options and Show Touch Data but that is inaccurate, takes time and I would have to write down every object's co-ordinates.

Regards,

Andy

Ok, check out this profile: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9787157/Tasker/Tap_Text.prf.xml

If you import that into Tasker and then back out of Tasker (to save) you'll be able to say "tap whatever" and AutoInput will tap "whatever" :)

So, for example, if you're in Tasker and say "Tap Tasks" it will tap "Tasks".

Hope this helps!
