I am hooking into 2 different packages in my handleLoadPackage and I have a private static variable in the enclosing class. When handleLoadPackage gets called for the first package, I set the private static variable and log it and it looks fine. When handleLoadPackage gets called for the second package, I try to log the private static variable and it's not set. This is directly in handleLoadPackage and not inside any hooks. Is what I'm trying to do not possible because of the calling contexts? How do I share information between hooked functions between multiple packages?
The problem is that you basically have two different variables, not one — a different one for each package. When you update the variable in package A, the variable in package B is untouched.
You'll need to communicate between the two packages somehow, using e..g a BroadcastReceiver.

Thanks. After I posted this and thought about it for a while I came to this conclusion. Each package runs in it's own address space and the handleLoadPackage runs in it's context.
This is probably simple for a programmer, but as a newb, I am getting stuck.
I have 2 variables and I want to check if the first is contained in the second
so, %event = Phone and %check = WorkPhoneReport
I have tried :
*%event* ~ %check
*%event* ~R %check
*%event\* ~ %check
And several other similar patterns. What to do to get this test working?
I am trying to read my calendar and not process the same event a second time. So, each item it reads is appended to another variable, then on its next loop, it compares the new event to the check variable to see if it was processed already. Don't know if I should be using an array instead of a variable, and if I can use an array in a if/then statement....
Any help is appreciated!!
Figured out a way.
Variable Search and Replace:
Variable %check Search %event store in %matches
then in the if statement just check if %matches is set.
If there's a simpler way, please let me know, this task is at 50 commands, never hurts to shorten it.
Code:
%check ~R .*%event.*
In Regex format, dot (.) can be any character including having no character there, and star (*) means repeat previous character as much as possible.
So .* means "look for no character or any number of any characters", and .*%event.* means "look for %event with something or nothing before it, and something or nothing after it"
Hello.
I have a tasker profile that's not quite working as I want it to, trying to get a screenshot method working because the buttons on my phone aren't reliable
(Task) 1: Run shell ~ Command screencap -p /sdcard/screenshots/screengrab-%DATE-%TIME.png
Use root (ticked)
2: Flash "Saved!"
It works, but I have to wait awhile before screenshotting again. If I want to take two screenshots in a row, the first one will save, the other won't. Seems like it's affected by what minute it is.... if it's 5:16 on the first screenshot, and 5:16 on the second, the second won't save. But if it's 5:16 on the first screenshot, and 5:17 on the second, it works. Is there something I need to add after %TIME so I'm not limited, or is this not a fixable issue?
This may not seem like a big deal for many people but sometimes I take screenshots of important emails, payment receipts, etc, sometimes they're too big to fit all on one screen and need 2 or 3 screenshots.
May or may not be relevant, but my phone is on 6.0 and stock ROM.
Bump
Found someone else with the problem I was having, adding %TIMES seems to have solved it.

Hi,
Glad that you solved it. Just a friendly tip: to be able to save multiple (999, to be exact) screenshots per second, you could add %TIMEMS instead of %TIMES.
Additionally, if you want the actual, human-readable time in the filename, you could use the following task:
Code --> Java Function
Class Or Object: Date
Function: new {Date} (long)
Param (long): %TIMEMS
Return {Date}: date
Code --> Java Function
Class Or Object: SimpleDateFormat
Function: new {SimpleDateFormat} (String)
Param (String): yyyyMMdd-HHmmssSSS
Return {SimpleDateFormat}: formatter
Code --> Java Function
Class Or Object: formatter
Function: format {String} (Date)
Param (Date): date
Return {String}: %datetime
Code --> Run Shell
Command: screencap -p /sdcard/screenshots/screengrab-%datetime.png
Use Root: ticked
I hope this is of use to you, or anyone!
Hello.
I want to remove the last 3 characters of a variable.
Was thinking of
A1. Test Variable: %variable
Type: Length
Store Result In: %length
A2. Variable Subtract: %length Value: 3
But then in Variable Section I don't find a way for saying that I want the character from 1 to %length of %variable (in Length seems I can only set a number).
How can I do it?
Thanks.
Also in Variable Subtract action would be useful to have the Value given by a variable, but I can't see it neither
Found out: it was being in Beginner mode.
Unchecked that I can use a varibale both in Variable Subtract and in Variable Section
Hello together,
this is a little, yet, in my opinion, useful profile(s) to check for Kernel or Rom Updates on XDA (or any other web page).
The profile is set-up easily and doesn't need much effort or experience to achieve the desired automatic updater. Some values can be adjusted to your liking, but more about that in the following text.
Without further ado:
Kernel/Rom Update Profile(s)
1. Tasker Profile
Name it "Rom (or Kernel) Update". Trigger: "Time" From 08:00 every 2h til 22:00 [values adjustable]
1.1 Tasks
Add Task under "Network" called "HTTP Get"
Serverort: [copy/paste the URL of the site of the Kernel/Rom]
Timeout: 30
Mime Type: text/html
1.2. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD
Splitter: for example "[ROM]". Whatever the value before the Kernel/Rom version number might be. In my example the thread title is: "[KERNEL] CleanSlate Kernel v1.7.7 [Wireguard][LED]..." the Splitter would be [KERNEL]
1.3 Variable Split
Name: % HTTPD2
Splitter: in this example "[Wireguard] or whatever stands behind the Kernel/Rom version number
1.4 Notify
Title: Rom(Kernel) Update available! [text adjustable]
Text: %HTTPD21
Search for an update look-alike icon for this notification
If: %HTTPD21 !~ %ROM (If your profile is for a Rom take this. If your profile is for a kernel replace the variable %ROM with %KERNEL)
1.5 Variable Set
Name: %ROM (For Rom) / %KERNEL (for Kernel)
To: %HTTPD21
And that's it! Tasker will now check for updates as often as you set the repetition in the profile trigger (e.g. every 2 hours).
Note: Let the Task run once for the variables to set up. If everything worked you will have a notification in your notification area, because %ROM/%KERNEL at the moment missmatches %HTTPD21. Clear that notificaion and then you're good to go.
But that's not about it. Additionally I have set up a hyperlink to the notification, which will take you to the Kernel/Rom Thread. I'll show you in Step 2, but that's only additionally.
Step 2 - Notification link
2. Create a 2nd profile. Trigger: Clicked notification.
Application owner: Tasker
Title: In this example "Rom(Kernel) Update available!" or whatever is the title of your tasker notification in step 1.4
2.1 Task "Call URL"
URL: [The URL of the Kernel/ROM] (Same like in 1.1)
Done! If you now click on the update notifcation you will be taken to the URL of your Kernel or ROM
Feel free to share and ask questions, if something still remained unclear. I tried to format and explain as best as I can

For 1.1, for the task Action, which should it be? I assume that the app has changed some things since you posted this, but I'm assuming the Action Category should be Net? And if this is correct, which Net category should it be?
This would be an incredibly useful task! Thank you so much!

Hey there. No it hasn't changed at all. You need to go into the "Tasks" section to add a task and name it to your liking. Then click the little "+" sign at the bottom right and then it's under "network" --> "HTTP Get". Still the same as always. Hope I could help
EDIT: But I see now what you mean! I forgot to mention which task it is. Already edited, thank you

Well, if I had a little more experience with Tasker, I would have known what you meant to begin with, but thanks!
ONE more question... for the Variable Split in 1.2 and 1.3. I'm wanting to set this up to get updates for the Nitrogen ROM for the Pixel 2 XL ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...m-nitrogen-os-oreo-substratum-12-feb-t3748293 ). The thread title is:
[ROM] ► [8.1.0_r40] ► [taimen] ► Nitrogen OS Oreo ► Substratum ► (04.July.2018)
Would the splitter for 1.2 be [ROM] and the splitter for 1.3 be [taimen]? Thanks so much for any help!!
Most Tasker profiles/tasks I've seen aren't really that useful for me since most of the things are already included in one way or another with the Pixel 2 or other apps, but this one would be so useful to have! Genius, man.

Sorry for the delay, was a little busy. So: Yes. That would be the splitters for your specific ROM :highfive:

I'm a software engineer, so I'm not exactly an amateur with stuff like this lol, but there does seem to be a learning curve with Tasker. Thanks for helping everybody out. I will just post what I got from the 'Description in Email' function, and if you don't mind, you could just glance over it to make sure I've got everything correct. I'll post this in public so that it might help somebody else trying to learn how to do this. I used different values for when to make checks to see if there is an update. Otherwise, I left everything as default except for the specific values you say to add/change in each action (a little hard to test since I don't know when there will be another update for the Nitrogen ROM):

Okay no problem. I think I can't fully follow you atm. What do you mean by "Description in Email" function? Is this a tasker function? Anyways here's what I can tell so far about:
A1: Leave everything blank except MimeTYPE, Timout (10-30 scnds) and, of course, the link to the ROM.
A2/A3: No deleting bases here. No, sit!
A4: Seems fine at first glance
A5: Not a recursive variable, not mathematic. Just stay straight to the description in the OP.
That's what I can tell so far, even though I don't quite know what you've done, since there's a lot of s in it
And one important hint:
You can test your profile (and therefore "fake" that there is a new update) if you set "HTTPD21" in the variable section of your task to any other value. If things work with your profiles there will be an android notification. If not there definately is something messed up. And secondly: Did you run the task once? I mean the entire task "1." from the op? As I stated in red letters you have to run it once in order to make it work, since variables will only be set after the task has run once. Hope this helps in any way and yes. First things with tasker are pretty complicated, that's, I guess, how everybody new to this app feels when coming in touch with it Cheers!
@JKforUA As I just checked the source code for your ROM:
Try splitters "658; [" for the first splitter and "] `" for the 2nd. This should soak in the ROM version perfectly

As for what I was talking about with the "Description by Email" function, this is what I was talking about: In the 'Profiles' screen, if you long press on one of the profiles and then press the 3 dots in the top right hand corner, there is an 'Export' option where you can get a copy of the profile/task in "Description" or "XML" format. What I copied/pasted was the "Description" of the profile. For A1, it just printed out every option given (but I didn't set anything other than what you say in the OP). A2 and A3, I don't have 'Delete Base' selected, but I guess the export still printed out the parameters. Don't worry lol. Likewise with A5. Surely there is a better way to export or copy a profile/task that will leave out all of the parameters that aren't set to anything. I'll look into that later tonight...
I just tried this with the two splitters you suggested and this is the error I got on my 3rd task (the second splitter). I'll have to wait until I'm home in a little bit to look into this. Looks like HTTPD2 isn't getting set, but I'll check it out in a little bit.:
16.58.50/Variables doreplresult: |%HTTPD2| -> |%HTTPD2|
16.58.50/E Variable Split: %HTTPD2 -> %HTTPD2
16.58.50/Variables doreplresult: |%HTTPD2| -> |%HTTPD2|
16.58.50/E Variable Split: can't split unset value to set %HTTPD2

I'm with you mate So, what came to my mind when reading your reply is: In the OP, this is all ONE big task and you should have bullet points 1.1-1.5 in a single task, in a single profile (which would be "1." - Repeat from xx - til xx). That's not what might cause the problems, since the variables are global, but it's for the aesthetics (If I'm right with the several tasks).
Besides that I really think some screenshots could be of tremendous help, since it's hard to comprehend what causes the errors, if I don't see exactly how you've set it up. To get to the root of the problem I suggest you send me 3 screenshots next:
1. Overview of the profile(s)
2. The task itself in overview. However you named the task: Click on it and then take a screenshot
3. Most important for me to comprehend: Overview of the variables. This is in the variable section either on tasker's home screen or in this "Check for ROM/KERNEL update" tab. If I can see how the variables are stored in combination with the other 2 shots I might figure out problems pretty quickly.
Do that and I'm sure we'll get this straight
P.S.: Don't panic if I suddenly won't reply anymore. It's past midnight here and I might have fallen asleep, but I'll get back to you tomorrow

Hi all,
Thx a lot for this great idea, I can follow the kernel version. [emoji106]
For the Rom, it's different, because the thread title doesn't contain the version number.
Title is "ResurrectionRemix ROM 6.1.0 - Official Weeklies- 8.1.0 by*alex9yust" ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-0-t3507433 )
An idea could be to check the name of last file on the Rom page (https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix-oreo/files/kenzo/), but I don't know if it's possible.
Do you have another idea ?
