How to interact/pass variables into Content inside objects in Tasker - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hi geniuses,
Inside the Image object I see the - probably Java - code, but it's different from what I know about objects, functions and variables. I would like to replace position etc with variable, but % and %% doesn't work.
How to access this content below: ?
<ImageElement sr=""ve="2"><RectElement sr="background"><Str sr="arg0"ve="3"/><Int sr="arg1"val="0"/><Str sr="arg2"ve="3">#FFFFDB00</Str><Str sr="arg3"ve="3"/><Int sr="arg4"val="0"/><Str sr="arg5"ve="3">#FF000000</Str><Int sr="arg6"val="0"/><Int sr="arg7"val="0"/><geom>-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1</geom><flags>4</flags></RectElement><Str sr="arg0"ve="3">tetris02</Str><Img sr="arg1"ve="2"/><Int sr="arg2"val="255"/><Str sr="arg3"ve="3"/><geom>-1,-1,-1,-1,300,100,150,60</geom><flags>4</flags></ImageElement>
Any kind help would be appreciated, because I dont even know where to start from, besides I did buyed alot of online books about Java lately, just to know belowed Tasker better

How can I make a simple game or app?

I've been programming for 3-4 years, about 1-2 of those years in C++(the rest in html, php, gml, js, and crapy stuff like dat). No Java, but I've heard its really easy to learn especially if you already know C++.
anyways, I've read the google tutorials and they haven't helped me since they make you download code instead of writing it (like the notepad tutorial).I've also seen all the videos that explain how android works, and I've read the stuff about it. I just want a tutorial that walks you through the process of programming an application.
basically what I want to learn is:
- How to tell if the user pressed a button, or interacted with a view
- draw an image to the screen
- open and close activities, like for a game you switch from the 1st level to the menu
- How to save data to a file, or database(whichever is best)
and things like displaying a list of items, or an alert and stuff like that.
I already setup eclipse and ran the Hello, Android application in the emulator AND my G1 with adb. So I just need to learn how to write the code
My goal(currently) is to make a picture on the screen move to the right when the user presses something(button, key, trackball, screen), but with my code, not cut & paste. I'll just turn that into a game later.
please help me with this, I've always wanted to develop apps for android(ever since I heard of it ). sorry if this sounds like a retarded question, but I've searched everywhere and I haven't found a good tutorial, and I cant buy a book
PS. I use the eclipse plugin for visually designing the layouts
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
I don't exactly remember from my HTML java applet days, but you can write straight to vm's frame buffer and write a simple program to change the position of the element scrolling it either way you want. Also, java input in html applets can be aided with javascript, so i used javascript to listen for user input and then have java respond to it, but that was over 10 years ago and I dont remember now T_T
really? thats helpful...
EDIT:
I've already read these tutorials on java: http://www.freejavaguide.com/corejava1.htm

[Q] [Problem] How to list parameters in

It's quite a simple one I hope. Also, apologies for adding noise to the forum, but I couldn't find any detailed documentation or many tutorials.
I'm making use of findAndHookMethod for a little test project of mine. The problem is, the method which I am hooking has custom classes in its parameters.
Obviously I don't have access to these classes in terms of having the source code imported, so my first thought was just to list the paramaters as Object.class, but this didn't work.
What (if any) are the solutions? Thanks!
P.S.
In case I worded it badly. Say I have method to be hooked...
public void methodThatDoesSomething(ThisCustomClass nameOfParameter)
How do I use findAndHookMethod when listing parameters, as ThisCustomClass.class is not within the scope of my project
Use a string with the class' full name, e.g. "com.hooked.package.ThisCustomClass".

[Q] Idea about how to get values from a table

Hello!
As some could see in my other topic, I'm learning about android studio to make an app with some maths to help me with my job.
Well, in one specific case, I need to search and get values in a table, based in a reference. Its basically like the VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP function in Excel.
My doubt is the ideal way of doing that, is there any kind of table inside the android studio, like a container or something ? Or I should use a data base ?
Below is the same math, on excel, that is the base that I'm creating the app for android, in this case is a simple table, but in some cases are many values:
The attachment 001.png is the list where I select the materials Standard, and then I get the 2 values σt and σe from the table.
The attachment 002.png is the table I am looking for the values:
Sorry about this kind of question, but I'm just reading a lot, looking for tips leading me to an ideal way of doing it, but its a little hard in the beginning.
Thanks in advanced.

Conversion
Hey from your question , I undestood that you are looking for ready table to give values.
As i see you are getting values in excel.
1) There is no direct conversion table available into android studio.
2) You can use library project import if you require familiar conversion tables.
3) If in excel you make your own conversion method . apply same into Anddroid studio.
What more , share your method or query breif.
Hello,
Thanks for replying satyampv,
Actually my doubt isnt about conversion, I said about excel because I'm used to work with it. And its so easy to use vlookup there that I was wondering if would have something like it on android studio .
If I have to put some huge table in a database here on android, it's ok, I accepted that I would have to do it. But the doubt is if I really have to use a database, or if exists other way to look up for values in a table. Like you said "2) You can use library project import if you require familiar conversion tables.", is that an alternative for a database ?
Or should I just forget those "normal tables" from my mind and use SQL lite ? Because is just to look for values, just read, I don't need to write neither do any changes in the table after it's created.
Thanks in advanced, again.

Suggestions for app - New Android Studio user

Hello everybody, happy to have found this forum.
I am a student and have studied 3 years Java in highschool (pretty good level) and studying for about 2 C/C++ at University, am good with PHP and databases and I know some CMS pretty well. So intermediate programming skills, hoping to improve them. I'm from Italy so excuse my bad grammar
I want to create this app for some friends of mine and I want it to be connected to a database and that database will be displayed online on a website. Basic data categorized and if possible displayed differently for different zones. So say you're from Japan and access a category from the website: firstly it asks for location access and then displays to you the "nearest" data available (if you'd want you could access data from other locations). This should have minimum costs, talking website/database.
So what I am asking, how hard this can be? I have never created a project in Android Studio, just worked with Netbeans ,CodeBlocks and Eclipse.
Is there a way to quickly learn how to save the data from an app to a database ? The other way I guess I'm able to do it.
If any of you is so kindhearted to help me find some good tutorials.
Thanks.
It depends on your skill, based on your skill set it will be easy for you.
All you need is create an API for your app so it can exchange data to your web server. You can use a PHP Framework for your API to make your life easy.
On Android part you can use GSON for converting JSON data to Java Object and vice versa.

I guess it can be created and to save your time try to build it using a mobile app builder then connecting it to other source would be easier
All the best

Android Studio insert Clock

Hi everyone,
I start by saying that I am new in this field and I don't know how to use android studio. I would like to start programming by creating an alarm clock. I have seen some tutorials where they simply drag a "TimeClock" from the object bar. But I don't find it among the objects and I think it's a sort of extension to download. Do you know anything about it?
