Loading a app after closing another app

[Rich]

Is there a way to load an app after closing another app?

[Jacob Klein]

Yes, set the app you want to be closed as the profile, and for the exit task do a load app and load the app you need to open.  Placing it as the exit task will let it run on the apps close (this meaning when it is no longer in the foreground)

[Rich]

What is suppose to be in the exit task? Just load the app?

[Jacob Klein]

Yes that will tell Tasker to launch that app based upon the profile app closing

[Rich]

Is there a way to do it just through tasks, without profile or is there a way to combine a profile?

> Is there a way to do it just through tasks, without profile

No

or is there a way to combine a profile?

Yes, the exit task part of the profile..

This is what Jacob is suggesting ..

Profile: Load App
Context: App; Name of Your First App
Exit Task:
1. Load App; Name of your second App

If you have not done so already please watch this vidio

And read the pocketables beginners guide (menu / info / guides)

Yea I saw that exit profile is part of the profile.

How would I go about doing this:

Open app1 at 10AM and after app1 is closed open app2.(and not have app2 always open after app1)

As with most things in tasker there are several ways to do it, this is the way I would suggest for a new user. You will need 2 profiles

>
>> Profile 1: Load App2
>> Context: App; Name of App1
     Context :state/ variable value; %App_trigger = 1

>> Exit Task:
>> 1. Load App; Name of your second App

>> 2. Variable clear; %App_trigger

Profile 2 : start App1
Context: Time; from; 22:00 to 22;00
Task;
1. Load App1
2. Variable set; %App_trigger To 1

[Jacob Klein]

By Tasker design, a profile is designed do run when a set of conditions are met. In your case when an app is closed. The task is what is ran upon the conditions being met (or no longer met for a end task)

If you wanted to do it all in a task your only option would be making a widget button that you manually press (you being the profile) triggering the task. If you are only needing an app to open then there's no point to this as the app button will do the same thing.

Rich D is correct. Do his method and it will run what you are asking for. But instead of time being 22:00(military time) set it to 10:00 (Rich D he said 10AM not PM)

Do that and your set

Thanks! Got everything working.
