Hey guys just wanted to share some tips I've found.
1. If the action you're looking for isn't within Taskers list of actions. There's a good chance that "Custom Setting" will accomplish what you're trying to do. You can control almost anything with Custom Settings and control settings that usually requires ADB to accomplish. Check it out.
2. If you're unsure how to do something, check out other projects. Usually you can find new and complex patterns that help make sense of a situation.
3. To make your dialogs and fonts look good and stand out, use html tags.
Example: <b><font color=green>This text will be green and bold</font></b>
4. AutoTools and AutoInput is a must have plugin for any Tasker enthusiast, however the rest can be ignored as most of them have been implemented into Tasker over the years except maybe AutoNotifications if what you're trying to do involves Notifications.
5. There's a 99% chance anything you want to accomplish can be done using Tasker. You just need to dig deep to find the method of accomplishing it.
6. Be sure to give Tasker WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission and any other adb specific permission. It's a one time thing and gives Tasker tons of power.
7. When creating open source projects you intend to share publicly, try to use as few plugins as possible. If there's a native Tasker method, use it. Use as few permissions as possible. Use Tasker's native command options instead of AutoApps.
8. The better you understand variables and arrays, the more you'll be able to do. Once you understand loops (if, for, etc) and variables, you're ready to start making projects. Always use local variables unless a global variable is required. Use project variables instead of global variables if the variable in question is only used within the same project. Global variables should only be used when you need to use it's value universally across Tasker. Take note, that once you start using an action that requires dynamic monitoring, Tasker will always monitor that action requiring more memory use.
