Send Intent / Activity

[Thom Little]

The Send Intent that invokes the Notification access page is a real find.  It is ...

devA (99)
A1: Send Intent [ Action:android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS Cat:None Mime Type: Data: Extra: Extra: Extra: Package: Class: Target:Activity ]

Are there options other than ...

android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS

... that can be used.

If there are ... where are  they documented?

Thank you.

My problem is that I tried about 8 of them and the only one that results in a display is ...

android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS

... so I must be doing something wrong.

Motorola Droid Turbo 2 - 7.0 - un-root-ed

Motorola might use a different intent you should be able to figure out what it is with a logcat. I had to do this with my Android TV.

Which ones didnt work il try them on my phone.

I am looking for those that will operate on almost any device so I can use them in a Kid.

I tried the following and two of them worked.

They wont all work because not all Android devices are the same as i mentioned before Manufactuers can tweak the OS. Anyways look at this screenshot see were it says constant value: its the bit between the " " you should use in the action field. eg android.settings.DISPLAY_SETTINGS

I think all of these except Notification Listener and Print settings already have a dedicated
Tasker action.

[Thom Little]

Great.  Notification Listener was the only one I needed.  The issue was that it moved in Android 7.0 and the information from Jay saved me a lot of work.  I was interested in what else was available so I started poling.

The following is all of them.  Whose that begin with XXXX_ do not resolve either with or without the ACTION_

devA (99)
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%string To:AIRPLANE_MODE_SETTINGS,APN_SETTINGS,XXXX_ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS,XXXX_ACTIONAPPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS,APPLICATION_SETTINGS,BATTERY_SAVER_SETTINGS,BLUETOOTH_SETTINGS,CAPTIONING_SETTINGS,CAST_SETTINGS,DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS,DEVICE_INFO_SETTINGS,DATE_SETTINGS,DISPLAY_SETTINGS,DREAM_SETTINGS,HARD_KEYBOARD_SETTINGS,HOME_SETTINGS,XXXX_ACTION_IGNORE_BACKGROUND_DATA_RESTRICTIONS_SETTINGS,IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION_SETTINGS,INPUT_METHOD_SETTINGS,INPUT_METHOD_SUBTYPE_SETTINGS,INTERNAL_STORAGE_SETTINGS,LOCALE_SETTINGS,LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS,MANAGE_ALL_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS,MANAGE_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS,MANAGE_DEFAULT_APPS_SETTINGS,XXXX_ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,XXXX_ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS,MEMORY_CARD_SETTINGS,NETWORK_OPERATOR_SETTINGS,ACTION_NFC_PAYMENT_SETTINGS,NFC_SETTINGS,NFCSHARING_SETTINGS,ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS,NOTIFICATION_POLICY_ACCESS_SETTINGS,ACTION_PRINT_SETTINGS,PRIVACY_SETTINGS,XXXX_ACTION_QUICK_LAUNCH_SETTINGS,XXXX_ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS,XXXX_ACTION_SEARCH_SETTINGS,SECURITY_SETTINGS,SETTINGS,SHOW_REGULATORY_INFO,SOUND_SETTINGS,SYNC_SETTINGS,USAGE_ACCESS_SETTINGS,USER_DICTIONARY_SETTINGS,XXXX_ACTION_VOICE_CONTROL_AIRPLANE_MODE,XXXX_ACTION_VOICE_CONTROL_BATTERY_SAVER_MODE,VOICE_CONTROL_DO_NOT_DISTURB_MODE,VOICE_INPUT_SETTINGS,VPN_SETTINGS,VR_LISTENER_SETTINGS,WEBVIEW_SETTINGS,WIFI_IP_SETTINGS,WIFI_SETTINGS,WIRELESS_SETTINGS, Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]

... Thom

[Jay M]

nice strange how the screenshot didnt show up though but anyways yeah i dont really know what the difference is between the name in all capitals

ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS

and the constant value

android.settings.DISPLAY_SETTINGS

Hope Pent can confirm or correct me if im wrong as im still learning but from what i understand all capitals is just the name of the String and the constant value is the value of that String. So in Java code it would look something like the line of code below. This is because constants should be declared final and static and be class variables there names should also be in capitals (Java Syntax) and the constant value should be prefixed with the package name of the class the constant is defined in so it is unique.

public static final String ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS = "android.settings.DISPLAY_SETTINGS";

What I trying to convey was that entries like ...

XXXX_ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS

... meant I tried ...

android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS

,,, that failed and also tried ...

android.settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS

... that failed.

I just included them in the list of 57 to note their not workiung.

... Thom

[Raul SC]

I also tried the rest of the rest of Intents, and only works on the notification options, however as Pent has commented, the rest are available among the Tasker options.

I take this thread, since you mention the update again, to ask if there is an approximate date forecast for the beta.

[Thom Little]

Look further in this thread.  I ran them all.  About 7 or 8 failed.  Most of them work if you remove "ACTION_" from the string.

There is no stated date for the next release and there is no Beta posted at ...

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html

... Thom

[Jay M]

Its not just a case of removing a word you need to use the exact constant value from the developer site in Taskers action field. The String name wont work and the constant value is prefixed with the package name and it might not always the same as the String name even without the prefix so check the ones that failed and make sure the constant value is correct. Ignore the String in the developer documentation just read it as a rough description of what will happen when you call that intent.

Just to make it clear heres another 1 if you put android.intent.action.DIAL in the action field it should open the dialer if you where to put just ACTION_DIAL or even android.intent.action.ACTION_DIAL (notice ACTION_DIAL is the String) it wont do anything because the constant value is wrong.

FWIW if you put tel:4444 in the data field it will open the dialer with that number filled in.

Thanks.  That explains a lot.

I was not aware of how it fit together so my approach was based on trial and error.  It seems to me that a list of constants would be quite useful .

By trial and error I tested all 57 strings and got all but 11 to respond.  I just checked one of them and it requires an additional parameter to be specified.
