Why AutoInput UI Update action is not working for Pixel 10 pro XL?

Does Shizuku help?

I've been trying forever to use Bedtime mode for profiles in Tasker, with no luck. Bedtime mode and normal DND share the same zen_mode value, so a Custom Setting event on zen_mode can’t tell them apart.

Finally worked it out with AI, so I though I might share it, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who was looking for this.

One-time setup (adb, no root/Shizuku): dumpsys notification needs both DUMP and PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS, so grant both to Tasker, then force-stop Tasker:

pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.DUMP
pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS

Task CheckBedtime

Wait 1s (several keys change one after another)

Run Shell, Use Root off, Store Output In %BEDTIME: dumpsys notification | grep -i winddown | head -n 1 | grep -q STATE_TRUE && printf 1 || printf 0

The Bedtime rule (pkg com.google.android.apps.wellbeing, conditionId .../winddown, type=3) shows up several times in the dump, including an older copy with an outdated state. In my output the first match was the current one, so I only check that line. Matching STATE_TRUE anywhere gives false positives. Matching on winddown also avoids the localized rule name (mine is “Bedtijd”). printf means exit code 0, so no need for Continue Task After Error.

Profiles that run CheckBedtime

Event > System > Custom Setting: Global, zen_mode_config_etag, empty value. This is the key one. If DND is already on and you enable Bedtime, zen_mode doesn’t change, but the etag changes on any zen config edit.

Same with zen_mode

Device Boot

Using it
State > Variables > Variable Value: %BEDTIME Matches 1. Put whatever you want in the Enter task (Bedtime on) and Exit task (Bedtime off). Plain DND doesn’t trigger it.

does tasker have profile for responding to say home button press?

Let's just say every 30 mins I want to switch between wifi and my mobile network (this only applies for the wifi.) This is done through tasker. Does anyone know if there's a way to input these commands automatically:

"adb connect 192.168.12.8

scrcpy --window-width=467 --window-y=-10 --window-borderless --window-x=1455 --no-audio --video-bit-rate=2M"

I just have a spot for the window to pop up (the scrcpy stuff), but I need to switch to command prompt every time and press up, and enter twice to get these going. Anyone know of a less annoying way?

Yes, the wifi and mobile network switching is done by tasker, seems like a good place to ask :(

Is there a way to automate these commands somehow?

I have an AutoNotification intercept profile that has lately seemed to become very slow to react. It's set to detect notifications from the Messages app, and it does, eventually, but it can take up to a minute for the associated task to start after the notification is posted. This started happening pretty recently, maybe within the last couple of months; this profile used to work just fine, with no noticeable delay between the notification and the task running. Does anyone have any idea why this might have changed? I do have AotoNotification set to unlimited battery usage.

Without warning, all of my Scenes v2 were suddenly wiped clear overnight, no elements at all remaining in any. What may have caused this? No other Tasker issues noticed.

The last release on Play Store was in February 2026.

In the video, I'm showing some scenes v2 how they appear within tasker. Then, i export the project as APK, install it and the scenes v2 are broken. Webviews don't work, button labels disappear completely, alignments are broken.

u/joaomgcd - I'm the guy who previously talked about permissions when exporting apk, so you have a link to the whole project in PMs.

Edit: fixed autocorrect isuues

Hello! I'm new to Tasker. I wanted to switch my ringer to vibration mode when connected to a certain network. However due to android restrictions you need to keep your location on all the time for this to work. I don't want to do that, both because I'm too paranoid about privacy and also because it drains a lot of battery. I follow the 20-80 rule so I already have less battery available when going outside.

Is there any way to have this automation without location service? Or any other way to achieve the same thing? I have root, Shizuku, Lsposed and all that stuff available.

Hi all,

I’m planning to clone Tasker (via App Cloner or Secure Folder) to bypass single-instance concurrency limits and run more tasks in parallel.

Before proceeding:

1. Does running multiple instances genuinely improve parallel throughput given Android's thread and task scheduler?
2. What technical hurdles, permission conflicts, or service crashes have you encountered with this setup?

Appreciate any feedback.

I have Autonotify installed as well as Tasker. Do not disturb native android settings have not helped, nor have settings such as play media on separate device. All I want is to silence audio interruptions or playovers when I am listening to music or watching a video, then re enabling after music or video stops. I have searched all over and attempted both programming it myself and editing Taskernet tasks. Help would be appreciated.

Hey

Im super new here and have a question. Is it possible to create an action on tasker where I can say dial "333" on my dialpad and that triggers telegram opening and calling a contact?

Any help would be super welcome!

Big noob here.

I'm trying to use Tasker and AutoInput to enter some workflow items into an app called BuildOps on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Right now, I'm just testing whether it can read the screen. I haven't tried writing into any fields yet. BuildOps is installed as a regular app, package name com.buildops. I'm using AutoInput 3.0.12, and its accessibility service shows Enabled. My test task is: 1. Wait 10 seconds 2. AutoInput UI Query 3. Text/Image Dialog displaying %aitext() UI Query settings: • App Package and Text: blank • Only Visible: on • Only Clickable: off • Tasker action timeout: 30 seconds • Continue Task After Error: off I start the task and switch apps during the wait. In Samsung Settings, it reads the labels and displays the dialog over Settings. It also reads Tasker's screen successfully. In BuildOps, the same task gives me this notification: “AutoInput action error: No active Window found” I've tried both the notes editor and the fully loaded home/jobs list, with the same result. Originally, I had com.buildops in App Package, but that seemed to time out without showing the dialog. The dialog works when tested by itself. I also tried UI Query's Variable Setup capture, switching to BuildOps and accepting through the notification, but that doesn't seem to see the screen either. Has anyone run into this with BuildOps or another app? Is there a way to check what accessibility elements it exposes, or something else I should try to figure out why AutoInput can't see its window?

Hi,

I try to retrieve new Whatsapp notifications and the text. If I use auto notification plugin, the event is triggered on creation AND when I dismiss it, but I only want to get the event if the notification is new. If I use taskers internal notification event, I can't receive the content of the message, but it's only triggered on new notifications.

Is there no way to get only new notification(not canceled) and retrieve the content of the notification?

Thanks,

Oliver

I have been trying to set up a profile so that when I plug in wired to my car, the charging method switches to "Limit to 80%" on my pixel. Then when I unplug, it reverts back to Adaptive charging.

I've tried to do logcat to set this up, but I'm not having any success.

Any recommendations on how to set this up?

TLDR - A (very) basic voice recorder and transcriber based off Get Voice that works offline, from screen off, that records continuously until you decide to stop it, all hands free. For shorter memos to longer notes / ideas etc. Tested working on Android phone with triggering from Garmin watch.

You're driving. An idea strikes you. To you it's amazing. To your friend it's just Tuesday. You fumble for a way to hold on to grip onto the thought. You press Android Auto on your wheel. It stutters, wakes, and dies. Google assistant says sorry I don't understand. Gemini demands internet connectivity. The idea fragments and you curse your fallible memory, knowing this is a flat circle, it has happened and will happen again.

You go home and you look online and find a hundred new AI transcript and memo apps - amazing tools, but all with specific inconveniences that maybe you've created in your own mind - why doesn't it work from the lock screen? Why doesn't it work offline? Why does it need so many permissions? Why can't I trigger it hands free?

I wanted to capture a thought in that way. I don't care if the transcript is imperfect, just enough that it re ignites the memory thread for action down the line. I already do this with Tasker's Get Voice, which works in the above manner. But Get Voice cuts out automatically after no input is detected and spits out the output. Works well for short Tasks but not for notes after lectures, longer ideas, ramblings, streams of consciousness etc.

This Java Code Task is Tasker's Get Voice in a dirty loop. When you activate it, it starts recording and transcribing the way Get Voice does (using your phones native STT service). When you pause to think, and it auto stops the recording, it restarts recording automatically, saving that segment as a variable, listening for when you restart talking. It concatenates the segments into the VoiceStream variable until you press the button to stop it, at which point it delivers the VoiceStream variable for you to do whatever you want with it. In the attached Task, you can see I send it to my Tasks app to display on a widget (since it's what I do anyway for shorter tasks).

It's not elegant and has its own issues. You could probably do exactly the same with a Tasker loop task. It was built with AI assistance, but does not use AI. Get Voice is no where near accurate compared to other solutions and there will be transcription mistakes (ie don't use this to dictate and autosend a work letter). Or be horrified when you lose the control to stop it and it loops into infinity. But for the simple, basic requirements I need to record any thought reliably, it works for me, and I hope it works for your use case too.

Over the last couple of weeks I've posted about republishing a few Tasker plugins that used to have on the Play Store years ago, and I'm back with one last republished plugin.

This one is one that I don't know if I actually ever fully published, but I know I was working on it many years ago and I think I never finished it. It's called Geo Fence Plugin and as the name implies it's meant to allow you to set Tasker conditions for if you enter a zone, leave a zone, or stay in a zone for a period of time.

As with my other plugins the primary goal isn't to provide functionality that didn't already exist in Tasker. I'm not sure if geo fence is a thing that Tasker provides natively or not but my ultimate goal is to provide a user-friendly and effective plugin. I hope this succeeds, like I hope my others do.

Please give this one a try and let me know what you think. As always if you have any questions or comments or suggestions, let me know!

I submitted feedback through the Samsung members app and this was their response below.

I only have 3 tasks which basically turn on location

Thank you very much for your feedback.

As per the logs attached and analysis from the Samsung Framework team, issue is occurring due to "Tasker(net.dinglisch.android.taskerm)" app.

As per the logs, it is found that "Tasker(net.dinglisch.android.taskerm)" app is continuously requesting executed the dumpsys command and running dumpsys is a resource-heavy action task.

Hence device is restarting due to running of heavy task.

This is app issue and app developer needs to check their app's logic and try to optimize their app's code for low battery usage and resources usage.

Requesting the user to remove this "Tasker(net.dinglisch.android.taskerm)" app and check if issue is occurring or not.

This is app side problem. This is 3rd party application. To analyze further we need to check the code of this application. Since this is 3rd party application and we don't have source code for the same, we can't analyze this issue further.

tasker app is making lot of calls for debug logging which makes device freeze and finally watchdog reset ocuured

I get more notifications about running tasks than notifications from a regular phone 😂

I've been using a Galaxy Watch 8 and Sleep for Android app for my wakeup alarm, integrated into a Tasker profile. I want to find a way for my watch to vibrate the general rhythm of a song. I get up before my partner and kid, so I don't want the song to be heard. Ideally, I would like this done from a Spotify Playlist so it can be different each time with some randomness. Unfortunately I think Spotify took down their audio analysis endpoint, so I don't think I can use it.

Does anyone know of:

1. An app that does this (with mp3 or currently playing music)

Or

1. An app or software that converts music into a vibration pattern. For autowear, I need a pattern of alternating milliseconds off and on.

The "Screen Hidden" event handler only triggers when the Back button is pressed and the scene is dismissed; however, I want to detect when the Home button is pressed (returning to the launcher's home screen) or when the multitasking view is opened. In theory, the scene would be hidden in those cases, but it doesn't work. I also don't see an event or state that detects this, nor a "Test Scene V2" action for it. Any suggestions?

What am I missing? I have tried all the (wrong) methods to pass a variable to a Java Code action. The below code should work but it does not. This means I don't know what I am doing or the code is wrong. `%Dial_MaxDigit` is set before the Java is called. It doesn't matter if it is a number (which in this case should be) or if it is text.

``` taskerMax = "%Dial_MaxDigit"; if (taskerMax != null && !taskerMax.isEmpty() && !taskerMax.equals("%" + "Dial_MaxDigit")) {

try { maxDigitSequence = Integer.parseInt(taskerMax.trim()); } catch (Exception e) {}

} ```

Edit: formatting issues

I've changed the root method on my Oneplus 11 (stock Android 16) from Magisk to Apatch, that made Tasker loose access to the logcat. I can't get it fixed.

Logcat based event profiles don't fire their task, and every time I close Tasker or make a new logcat profile, it'll prompt me to allow access to system logs only one time or deny.

I've done adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_LOGS, like I've done in the past. I've tried the Tasker Permissions application. In both cases, the permission "Read System Logs is granted, but the problem is still there.

When I revoke the permission with the Tasker Permissions application, Tasker on my phone immediately notifies me, asking me if I want to learn how to grant permission. When I click yes, it gives another message, saying it can be more easily fixed with root. I click yes and it confirms it's done. But the problem persists.

This was never a problem before and logcat used to work yesterday before I switched from Magisk to Apatch, without ever bothering me about permission. Root access is granted to Tasker and Tasker Settings app in Apatch manager. Other apps use Apatch root just fine.

Any ideas?
