Tasker Help?

I have setup a Task to Turn on WiFi as needed when called for by an App. Since it takes a couple of seconds for WiFi to find and obtain an IP address is there a way to make my WiFi Task to delay a few seconds so IP can be obtained before the App that called for WiFi is started?
Thanks

Tasker actions are done sequentially. Use Tasker->wait to have the task wait a specified amount of time. In addition, you may want to use the goto action to loop until you have an ip address.

[Q] Can Tasker ....

Can Tasker automate the abling and disabling of a security PIN for unlocking the phone? For example, while at home I would like to have no screen lock, but while out I would like more security and so would like a PIN to be required for accessing the phone. Thanks in advance.

Yes it can

That's what I have mine doing. You'll need this also https://market.android.com/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin

I've tried playing around but couldnt figure out how to do it. Can you tell me how to? Thanks

When I'm off work later tonight I can post step by step instructions. Do you have wifi at home? Because I have mine set so that it knows I'm at home when I'm connected to my home wifi.

thats exactly what I want! I would appreciate it very much!

1. Create new profile - name it whatever you want
2. Under First Context choose State > Net > Wifi Connected
3. Under SSID input your home wifi's network name or if connected to it then just hit the magnifying lens in the upper right and select your home network and hit the green checkmark at the bottom to save it
4. Choose New Task and name it whatever you want.
5. Hit the plus sign to add a new action and choose Plugin > Secure Settings
6. Now hit Edit under Configuration and change Keyguard to either password/pin or pattern lock (depending on what security you've choosen) and select Off (I also check the setting where I've got to enter in my pass code once before it will unlock but that's up to you) and then hit the disk icon in the bottom right to save it and again confirm that you want to save it.
7. Hit the green checkmark again and also on the next screen.
8. Then click on the action you created and choose Add Exit Task and repeat the steps starting at step 4 but this time under Password/Pin or Pattern Lock choose On.
9. Then just keep hitting the green checkmarks until you exit out of Tasker.
I typed this out on my phone on the bus ride home so let me know if it's not clear or I missed a step. And you will need to first install Secure Settings that I linked to earlier.

Awesome, thanks for posting that! I haven't used Tasker, or Locale or any other automating app, so I'm curious, why would one choose Tasker over Locale? I just have a few simple things i want to automate (though that list could grow once I get into it).

I've never used Locale but before I bought Tasker I read a few reviews comparing the two and it seems that Locale is more user friendly but Tasker is more powerful. But for most everyday uses Locale will probably work fine.

I did exactly as you said and i can't get it to work. Did you clear the lock settings in security before doing this or keep that? Also what rom are you using, that may be the problem for me (elite ics).
I've tried setting a lock, and then connecting to wifi but lock doesn't go away. I also tried having no lock set and turning off wifi, but the lock doesn't show up on the screen.

I didn't think to add that you've also gotta open Secure Settings and select the Helper tab and install the Helper. There's also an option there to download a flashable zip to install the helper (it's gotta be in system to work). I've just gotten so used to flashing the helper every time I flash a new ROM I didn't think of it.

Had Helper installed and still didn't work. Btw Helper is for pattern only, you don't need it for pin/password.
I'll try playing around some more tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

I'm very interested in this. If you get this working I may have to break down and buy tasker. Always been curious about it, but never really had a purpose of it til this came up.

Did you also enable Tasker as a device administrator? This can be found in your phone settings under Security.

Sorry, don't know what to tell you. Tasker's working great for me.

tried llama and it kinda worked with built-in actions but not with the secure settings plugin.

Couldn't you also do it by location as well, instead of Wifi connection. Which is basically Locale.

[Tutorial] Auto BT Tether - The Tasker Way

So... I´m not a great fan of doing things manually if I don´t have to so the manual toggling of the BT Tether doesn´t do it for me...
So I worked myself to a automatic sollution based on Tasker and Bluetooth Auto Connect
Tasker is available as a free 7-day trial here if you wan´t to try it out before you buy, Bluetooth Auto Connect is all free.
Works like this: If Display is turned on, the Gear waits 20sec (longer than the regular Display timeout), if display is still on after thoose 20sec it turns the BT Tether On and sets the Display timeout to 1 min instead (Optional). When the display turns off again, it waits 1 min, if display is still off, it shuts the Tether Off aswell and returns the display timeout to 15sec again.
So here goes:
1. Download both apps and install on Gear (you should know how it´s made by now) You shouldnt need to do anything with BT Auto Connect, we will trigger it from within Tasker.
2.Start Tasker and select New Profile. Set name to "BT Tether On", choose Event, Display and finally Display On.
3. Create a Task to be triggered by the Profile and set it like this:
Code:
1. Wait 20 seconds
2. If %SCREEN ~ On
3. Bluetooth Auto Connect (Found under Plugins, then click on the Config button, then click Profiles and tick Networking (PAN), go back and click on Devices, click on your device and tick the Networking (PAN) here aswell, back again and click Profile Action, choose Connect)
4. Display timeout 1min (optional)
5. Variable Set %BTtether To On
6. End If
3. Save the Task and back out to Tasker´s Main screen.
4. Create new profile. Set name to "BT Tether Off", choose Event, Display and finally Display Off.
5. Create a Task to be triggered by the Profile and set it like this:
Code:
1. If %BTtether ~On
2. Wait 1 Minute
3. If %SCREEN ~Off
4. Bluetooth Auto Connect (Found under Plugins, then click on the Config button, then click Profiles and tick Networking (PAN), go back and click on Devices, click on your device and tick the Networking (PAN) here aswell, back again and click Profile Action, choose Disconnect)
5. Display Timeout 15 Seconds (optional)
6. Variable Set %BTtether To Off
7. End If
8. End If
That´s about it!
Have only tested this a couple of hours so there might be Bugs in the "code" but have it a try and report back to me if something feels weird.
Happy Tasking!
2013-12-18 - Adding files
Downlod premade profiles here:
BT Tether On
BT Tether Off
After importing, remember to enter the Task and click on Bluetooth Auto Connect and select your BT device in the list.

Personally I dont like screen on events.. I prefer to assign the task to a gesture.
Although the screen timeout modification & screen off events are excellent.
Good job on the write up..

I don´t really know yet if I like it either, but you have to try it to find out
I may assign the On feature to a button/widget by Tasker and let the Off feature be like above.
We´ll see...

I´ll break the code down for you with comments:
Code:
1. If %BTtether ~On //Checks IF the Variable BTtether is set to on, If it is, the Tasks below continues, else task is aborted.
2. Wait 1 Minute //Pretty selfexplained.
3. If %SCREEN ~Off //IF Display is still Off after 1 min, the task below continues, else task is aborted
4. Bluetooth Auto Connect //Disconnects the BT Tether
5. Display Timeout 15 Seconds (optional) //Sets new Display Timeout
6. Variable Set %BTtether To Off //Sets BTtether to Off so Tasker knows the state of the BT Tether.
7. End If //Ends "If %SCREEN ~Off "
8. End If // Ends "If %BTtether ~On"
Since we got two If expressions in the code, we need to have two End If´s to decides where thoose IF´s ends.
Seem a little clearer?
In regular programming you have to specify all IF expressions with a start and an end, may look different from language to language though.
Maybe Tasker doesn´t need the End IF if it´s in the End of the code but I want the code to look clean and OK so I put it there to make it right.

[MOD] Disable High Volume Warning (no root)

If you're like me you're bummed that we have no root and are missing the abilities of root. Namely having the ability to use Xposed to turn off the annoying high volume warning. The following information aims to restore that functionality without root but requires some work but when you're done it's "set it and forget it.". You will never have to do it again. (Unless you wipe your phone)
I have this running on my phone and it works perfectly. I've attached a screenshot showing that the high volume warning is disabled on my phone. Note there is no popup on my volume slider when it's at max, so it's working. This mod uses Tasker and AutoTools. If you're not familiar with them it's OK, the article I'm linking has a step by step process for creating events and tasks.
Once again this isn't my work. I'm just bringing the information to the masses.
All set? Click here to go to the article. Enjoy!
P.S. You will need to open AutoTools and activate the 30 day trial if you don't have the full version. Then grant it permission, If not this won't work. To get the full version just open AutoTools and clock "Get full version".
***********UPDATE 09/15***********
I have confirmed that you will have to manually "test" this procedure first before it survives a reboot.
To do this:
Open tasker.
Click on the Monitor Start event.
Click on the 30 second task.
Click the "play" button in the lower left corner.
The task will begin manually.
If all is well both of the actions will turn green.
If anything turns red something isn't configured correctly.
***********UPDATE 09/17***********
For those that either don't want to or are having difficulty setting up the profiles I have attached them to this post in XML form, Then all you have to do is give the apps permission in ADB as stated in the article and import the profiles.
To import them into Tasker:
Download the file called "Tasker Profiles.zip" from the link below.
Unzip it and save it anywhere on your internal storage. Open up Tasker and disable Beginner Mode in Preferences.
Then, go back to the main screen and long-press on the “Profile” tab up top. You should see a pop-up with one of the options being “Import.”
Tap on that and browse to where you saved the .prf.xml files and select that file to import.
Repeat for the second profile.
Screenshots for this are attached to this OP.
I have also attached a quick demo video to show that this process works perfectly. No popup.

reboot and see if it still works.
I already tried this and after reboot it still prompts the first time.

I've rebooted several times. It works for me. There is a 30 second delay before the task is executed. That is by design.

Try this to see if everything is set up correctly:
Open tasker.

Click on the 30 second task.
Click the "play" button in the lower left corner.
The task will begin manually.
If all is well both of the actions will turn green.
If anything turns red something isn't configured correctly.
I've attached screenshots of this procedure.
Also something to consider is that if you have any task killers installed or anything that kills tasks on startup you should add tasker to the ignore list of that app.
Hope this helps.

It's configured correctly. Here is the thing. If you pull the value before without using, then pull the value after clicking ok manually, it is NOT 2, it's 0. This was discussed on the s7 and s8 forums. Odd that yours works and dozens of other folks doesn't.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I dont know what to tell you. It does work for me just fine as my screen shots show. Sorry it's not working for you.

Can you screenshot your configuration screen? Is the value your sending "int" for integer? It shouldn't matter but what Carrier are you using? I'm Sprint.

One other thing to check is under app permissions ensure that AutoTool has the ability to change system settings. Just running the adb shell pm command isn't enough.

According to the article 0 is 'not configured' 1 is 'disabled' which is what the value would be when you click ok. 2 is 'inactive'.(How this differs from 'not configured' or 'disabled' I do not know). and 3 is 'enabled'. All depending on your mobile country code. Perhaps changing it to 1 will work for you?
Specifically, we will be modifying the System.Global property audio_safe_volume_state both on boot and periodically so Android will always think you have consented to bypass the warning. This property is defined in AOSP, which we’re reproducing below. There are several states this property can take, ranging from 0-3. 30 seconds after boot or after every 20 hours of continuous music playback, the state is set to ‘0’ or ‘not configured.’ It is then set to ‘1’ for ‘disabled’ or ‘3’ for ‘enabled’ depending on your Mobile Country Code. If you live in the E.U., this property is set to ‘3’ by default but is changed to ‘2’ for ‘inactive’ whenever the user manually bypasses the volume warning. We will be changing the value of this property to the ‘inactive’ state (changing it to ‘disabled’ never worked for me, in case you’re wondering).

Going to Settings -> Sound and Vibration -> Volume -> hit the 3 dot menu -> Media Volume Limiter -> Off works.
I came from a Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 that didn't have this feature. I had no idea Samsung finally caved and added it.
Thank you.

Or not. I rebooted again and it does NOT work anymore. I'm really not trusting Samsung with this. The tasker method works every time. Every reboot. See attached screenshots showing it's turned on (and set to max) and still showing this message. I rebooted several times just in case I had a weird reboot. I'm still getting the popup even with it turned on and the max adjusted to the maximum or even with it turned off completely.
I only wish I was wrong. Thanks for the try though.

Yeah will reset after a boot

Yup...so with tasker I don't have to do any of that. I never have to touch it again. It never comes back.
Thanks again though.

I did learn something from this process. When I re-enabled the tasker even it didn't work when I rebooted. So I hit the "play" button that I mentioned earlier to retest the task and once everything turned green I rebooted and it now works again...after every reboot. So I'll add this to the OP that the task must be "tested" after it's set up in order to get it to work.
Even more interesting is who posted it. Compusmurf was the guy who stated in this thread that this did not work for him. Interesting.

I did get it to work finally. I had another tasker/app that was stepping on it.

Well I also confirmed that when I disabled it and allowed the popup to come back by rebooting simply re-enabling the tasker even then rebooting did not make it work again. I had to "test" it with the play button to get it to work again. So I'm updating the OP to reflect this.

Yeah my point of my post was to show the reason why the built in way doesn't work long term. The tasker way is preferred for those who find the nanny thing an annoyance. :good:

I looked at every single screenshot of System UI Tuner in the play store. I saw no option to disable the high volume warning. Only an option to remove the volume icon which isn't the same thing.

I know this process I linked is a long one and I would really love to be shown a better way but until I am this works for non rooted devices every time.

Is it possible to use tasker to switch on lastpass accessibility toggle? My OnePlus 3t (not rooted, OOS 9.0.4) deactivates it almost on a daily basis. I have switched off battery optimisation for lastpass but the phone turns the toggle off.

Hi there. Maybe you can try using the "Custom Setting" action for that. Try using the Magnifying glass in the action with the option to automatically find the setting and see if Tasker can find it. Hope this helps!

I found that by googling but I can't figure out how to make it toggle the switch. The tasker forum talks about reading the accessibility setting but gives no more details than 'brilliant that works'

The easy way is to use the Secure Settings action in AutoTools. That has a direct option for accessibility services. I plan on adding that option to Tasker directly at a later date.
With the Custom Setting action what you should do is read the value, remove or add the needed service from the list, the write the setting.

Ta I'll test that

I must be missing something here. Autoapps seems to only control a subscription service. Can't see anything called secure settings when I download it.

Mea culpa mea maxima culpa.
I'll try again.
I seem to have manage to get the change state to react to it switching state but need to do some adb to see if it works.

I can now get the profile to switch on but I cannot figure out how to get the secure setting to change the toggle.
Both profile and task shows up as green but nothing seems to happen.

Not well at all. The profile activates but nothing is actually changed.

Does it work if you run the task manually?

No. If I click on the task I don't get an error or the green dot. Instead I get a grey play arrow Infront of the task.
In the profile window both the profile and task shows up as green.

That means that Tasker doesn't seem to be able to communicate with AutoTools. Do other AutoTools actions work?
To make sure Tasker and the AutoApps run in the foreground please check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/faqs/faq-problem.html#00

Sorry to be a pain but I cannot find the run in foreground setting on my OnePlus 3t.

Yep. All those seeking are correctly set. It's the tasker foreground setting I cannot find. Tried googling it but the links I found doesn't match what I see in tasker.
