Launch APP when in car (connected to bluetooth)

[Henry Wachtel]

I want to launch a specific app when the phone is in my car, indicated by being connected to it by bluetooth (name).

I am new to tasker, was hoping to figure it out, but couldn't.

any help?

Link to a tutorial or faq related to the topic might also be good.

thank you

I don't have a link on hand, but you should be able to do this pretty easily. 

I look at the profile/task like they are "if/then", "if" you are connected to BT, "then" run the app. 

Make a profile and use state "BT Connected" with the identification of your car's BT

Make a task with action "Launch App" and it allows you to pick the app you want. 

If you have trouble finding those functions, use the search bar at the bottom of the function selection window. 

Good luck.

Just change the condition to be the BT  Connected condition and in the task use the Launch App action :)

I had the same question as Henry and followed your hints but need an additional step.

Is it possible to kill the app when BT is no longer connected to the car?

If you have ADB Wifi enabled, you can use this command:

am force-stop package_name

I had same question about killing an app. Is there an alternative using ADB wifi?

[Logan Fury]

Rooted phones can use shell commands to kill apps, but non-rooted phones are limited to ADB Wifi commands.

The app I want to kill is after this command running in background. Is it possible to kill the background task with an ADB command on an unrooted phone? 

[Logan Fury]

App Info - assign package name

ADB WiFi pm disable-user %app_package

ADB WiFi pm enable %app_package

These 3 actions identify, close & remove package, then restore package to system in closed and ready to relaunch at will state. 

This works wonders for hard to close apps like QuickPic :)
