shell input tap without root?

[Waldy Wiz]

Hi,  I'm running tasker with android Nougut 7.0.  I'm trying to set gps on by location settings.  Using run shell inptut tap x y,  I'm trying to avoid rooting my phone to achieve this.  the shell command works if I tasker is the active app,  but not in other apps or inddeed Location settings

I have tasker as device administrator.  I have tried dpad without root with similar results.  Does this mean I need to root my phone to acheive this?

You don't need this with the beta :) Use the new "Custom Setting" action with the "location_mode" set to either 0, 1, 2 or 3 and type set to "Secure". 

Also, if you really want to tap without root look into AutoInput. 

Hope this helps!

hI João and thanks,

I found Custom settings from tasker beta.  It states I have to set permissions to do this via adb.  I get the following error when I try to do this:

PS C:\Program Files\adb> .\adb shell pm grant net.dinglish.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Bad argument: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: net.dinglish.android.taskerm

ps my phone is connected when I do .\adb devices

Hi,

I think that there is an error in package name, it should be:

net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

Ah, thanks.  All works now. It's good to have location on only when it's needed. Cheers
