How can I close both apps in multi-window mode using Tasker? I'm on an unrooted Galaxy Note 8.
I am not particularly familiar with Samsung's multi window mode, but on a un-rooted device, I believe your best bet is to mimic the button presses you would normally do using the tasker plugin, AutoInput.

Thanks, but I've already tried that with no success.
Why not post the description of the task that didn't work. Anything that you can do with your finger on the device, AutoInput is able to mimic.

I tried setting up an autoinput action to long click on multi-window navigation button using easy actions. And I've tried to use screen coordinates to do the same in autoinput. But I have had no success yet. I'm still working on it... maybe I should look into a kill app action...

Hello Group,
Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus; running Android version 7.0
Tasker version 5.0u6m
Email Plugins: SendSilentMail and MailTask
Problem: I have a number of Profiles that when executed they will email the Tasker backup file along with the battery logs that was created from a separate Profile. These profiles work great on my Note 3. The problem that I am having is ever since I transitioned to my Samsung Galaxy S8+ the mail plugins are not emailing the files that it did when the Profiles were on the Note 3. I have reached out to the developer of MailTask and he/she could not figure out why its not working. The developer of SendSilentMail has a dead email address. In addition, I have tried other mail plugins and I am still getting the same issue. SL4 does not work on my version of Android and have not worked after Kit Kit so using that plugin is out of the question.
Does anyone know how I can get Tasker and the mail plugins (or other alternative) to send email with our without attachments.
Regards,
Vernon
Have you tried capturing a logcat while running the task? It's possible it will give some insight.

HI, how can I tab a button on the screen, withou root ?
Using Automate, for example, there is a option named "Interactions" that I configure the control type and its text content.
In Tasker, how can I do that?
The only ways using only tasker that I know to do that requires root. However, the AutoInput plugin can help. You authorize AutoInput with sufficient permissions through ADB so it doesn't require root.

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any way to toggle wifi calling setting on certain conditions.
I can't find any thing like that in the tasker app.
I am using Samsung note 8 with oreo.
Thanks.
There used to be an app or two in the play store that were plug-ins for tasker to help with this. They seem to be gone though.
I'm not aware of an intent (maybe it would be carrier specific and not excluded via intents?).
So that kinda leaves auto input as the defacto solution.

Hello,
I discovered Tasker and thanks to tutorials, I managed to reach my first goal: send an SMS indicating my position directly on Google Maps.
Question security, it's great when traveling alone on a hike.
Now, I have a very theoretical goal that I can not reach: how to automatically send this position at regular time intervals? In other words, how to follow a mobile in his move?
Thanks in advance to the tasker experts who will enlighten me.

Just put a "wait" action for however many minutes between updates then a "go-to" back to the start (or wherever the location point is in your task).

I agree that this advice is better on battery. If you want to run this activity on battery power (not plugged in) for an extended period of time, then maybe use a shortcut to toggle the profile on/off unless you want this information available 100% of the time.

How are you currently causing the task to run?
Maybe it is time based, such as between 5-6 pm during your commute home? Does it run when ever you open a specific app?

Soory, I'm a bit late to answer.
My question was theorical because I do not have the immediate need for a solution.
I am interested in answering two cases of concern.
That of parents whose children are alone outside and that of children whose parents are old and, for some, likely to go astray when they leave alone.
A tranquillizing solution would be to press the key that triggers the tracking of the position every n minutes and simply put the mobile phone in the pocket of the child or the elderly person. Upon his return, stop the tasker.
This is a use case where toggling a variable to initiate the location mode makes sense. Then the profile triggers on two contexts, when the variable is set and a time context every x- minutes.

Hello,
How can I have Tasker turn on Bluetooth whenever I'm in motion?
I have a connected vehicle and whenever I leaving work, home, shipping etc., I would like Tasker to turn Bluetooth on and when I'm not in motion for more than 10 minutes turn Bluetooth off.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Micheao
If you really v want this to be motion sensing, then I suggest the AutoLocation plug-in. It does required GPS to be on for most precision/accuracy. Additionally, your location will be constantly monitored so you're going to be draining the battery.
If this is too turn on Bluetooth to connect to the car radio and turn off when you've left the car, then I'd be using the Bluetooth near context.

Yes, I want it to be motion sensing using the GPS and battery is not a problem. Is it a limitation with Tasker that makes it impossible to do?

Tasker is a framework first. Plugins add features that not all users will want. This method of using plugins helps keep the core app under control from a maintenance and size point of view.
You can create a task that gets your location, then gets a second location, compare those results and determine if the device is moving. Read Tasker's online documentation: location without tears.

Thanks for the no help
So what have you tried since the last post 2 weeks ago? How about you post your profile and indicate what's not working.
To do that, make sure it's named - not a default name assigned by tasker. Then long press on the name to highlight the profile. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Then you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin then link to a post here. If you paste in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters after, typically "on" and "off" to emoticons making it very hard to read.
