secure settings

[Ibrahim Salim Omari]

Tasker keeps reporting:

"To perform this action, the additional plugin secure settings must be installed. Should I try to instal it now?"

However, secure settings is installed and working. What am I doing wrong?

[Pent]

Which action ?

Pent

[Ibrahim Salim Omari]

I created a task to auto change keyboards for a particular app from the following site:
http://code.rawlinson.us/2012/10/android-change-keyboard-based-on-app.html

[Pent]

Yes, but which particular action is causing the error message ?

Click the >>| button in the task edit screen repeatedly until you get the message.

[Ibrahim Salim Omari]

For some reason the error is not there anymore, however the keyboard is not changing as expected. Again, I uses the above link as my guide.

[Jeremy Harris]

If you need your question answered, then it's probably best to help the developer help you...by answering the question he asked you.

You could also export the task's description and paste it here.

[Ibrahim Salim Omari]

Sorry,
The original error was there because I had Secure Settings on the SD Card. That has been rectified. Now the problem is the task is not doing what it is suppose to do. Please I'm having trouble finding where to export the task so I can paste it. Can you assist me in the steps?

[Ibrahim Salim Omari]

OK, Here are the profiles I created. BTEP is suppose to switch to hacker's keyboard when I run Better Terminal Emulator Pro, and swiftkeys show load when I leave Better Terminal Emulator Pro.

Enable Menu / More / Run Log and see what's going on.

I've been looking at the log. I cleared it then started the action to trigger the task by opening Better Terminal Emulator Pro. Then I looked at the log at to my eyes it looked as if it ran the task. However I'm still getting the default keyboard which is Swiftkeys instead on Hackr's Keyboard. Can you see what I am doing wrong?

That link did not work for me. You should be able to paste the "Description" directly into the post.

Make sure you are backing all the way out of tasker( with the back button) after making changes, Before testing..

To post your profile or task here...  Long press on the profile or task name / ( 3 dot menu with 4.0+ ) export / export description to clipboard (not XML)

Any linked tasks will be exported with the profile they are linked to..

To be able to export, The beginner mode needs to be off and the profile needs to be named by you (Not the Tasker listed name.  Tasker will list your profile with the context name if you have not given it one).

I read your previous post and I have already pasted the log and profile in the post before this one.

You need to export the "DESCRIPTION" not the xml.!

[iom...@gmail.com]

Ok:

That % character in the timeout value indicates a variable, but none is specified. Edit your exit task, and press the crossing arrows to revert back to a numeric value or none.

[Ibrahim Salim Omari]

Thanks for your quick responses.

I have corrected the error and there are no more errors in the log. However, Hacker's Keyboard still is not loading when I run BTEP.

What else have I done wrong?

[Scott Miller]

I didn't see it mentioned in this thread; do you have root? What device and version of android?

I use Secure Settings to switch keyboards when I want to use my Bluetooth keyboard, and it works perfectly. This is on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.1.2, and I do have root. Root is required for this to work. The system+ functionality must be correctly installed. Verify this in the Secure Settings app. If you still have trouble after verifying this, you might want to go to the Secure Settings forum on XDA and ask. It's also more likely that Corey will see it there.

Thanks,
Yes I'm fully rooted. I'm using a Tecno N9 Tablet with Android 4.2.2.
Secure Settings are correct. I'll check their forum and see if they can help.

thanks again

Have you checked to make sure Hacker's Keyboard is still selected in your android settings.

[iom...@gmail.com]

Yes it is selected

I don't have much to offer since I don't use Tasker to switch input methods.  However, if you open the secure settings app and click the wrench icon in the top right corner, there are some settings that you might consider playing with..

[iom...@gmail.com]

Thanks.
Do you mean you achieve what I am trying with Secure Settings alone? If so,  Pls elaborate.

Jeremy Harris.  You brought back memories from Junior High in San Diego with that riddle.  Love it

Thanks for your help. I've resolved my problem by switching to e-robot. 5 minutes after installation my task was working perfectly.
