Tasker to clear all recently opened apps in Android 9.0/pixel xl 2?

Hello. I am stumbling my way around Tasker with little to no experience. Could anyone provide a profile or tutorial for how I can set up Tasker to close all of my recently opened apps? The instructions I could find appear to be outdated now with the "close all" option being moved from the top right of the recent apps to having to swipe all the way to the last screen in Pie. Thanks so much for the assistance. PS- I do have AutoInput if that helps.

One of the "downsides" of having a Google phone is you get updated to Pie loooong before other devices.

Open an APP, when that APP is not in background.

Hello guys, im new with tasker and i have one problem.
I want tasker do something whenever "one APP is not in the background", there is some way to do that?

What do you mean by in the background? Is there a service actively running? If so, then you should be able to monitor that using an App Context
and checking the Services button.
There is also a plug-in called Tasker Process Running.

Thx for your answer, i mean "do something when a service is not running". Just open the app again when he is not running in the process.
I've downloaded Tasker Process Running, and i can see you can target %APPRunning. How can i target if not running, just tipe in IF: %apprunning ~ False?
PD: Can you tell me how to do it, if it is able?

As I suggested before, use an App Context but make sure to tap (enable) the Services button on the screen where you choose the app.
Link the task you want to run as though you wanted it to run on the launch of the app.
Long press the task name and move it to an exit task.
Now when that app's services exit, the exit task should run.

turn off data connection and WiFi access for telegram during night

How to disable at night that telegram won't access to Internet data or WiFi and it the morning turn back on access

No idea what OS you are running. There should be a app level permission to allow/disallow internet access to telegram. Then set a time context covering the window you want to disallow access for telegram. The entry task would change the permission, either through a custom settings action or using AutoInput to mimic the touches. Revert the process in the exit task.

I have android 5.1. Can you give me direction how to do this with tasker? I don't fully understand rhus tasker

I really spent very little time 4 years ago on lollipop. I have no memory of how app permissions worked on that OS.
Before you can automate a task, you need to understand how you would manually achieve the same result. Can you disabled internet access to telegram yourself?
Being new to Tasker can feel intimidating, but I suggest you start with a few beginner guides to get the feel of it. There are some videos linked on the developer's website: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/guides.html. You'll want the "4.0+ UI" videos.

Ok thanks

@bsports666
You can achieve this in case you have AFWall+ installed on your device (root required). You can set up different firewall rule profiles, where you can specify which apps are allowed to access the internet. AFWall+ also has a Tasker plugin which lets you set different profiles according to your needs.
So basically you would need two profiles: one profile where Telegram has been granted network access and one profile where it doesn't have network access. Then you can trigger each profile according to your needs, for example at 10pm for night mode (no network access for Telegram) and 6am (network access for Telegram).

Ok, then automate adguard with Tasker. See this Adguard knowledge base page.

Dual sim data management automnation

Hello,
I used tasker long long ago, but today i have a mission for it ! But seems there is no option for it.
The situation :
I have a oneplus 3 with lineage os (last nightly version) on it.
I have two simcard with data plan, one haven't network when i'm at work.
Actually i have to switch in network/simcard default data simcard from sim1 to sim2 when i harrive at work and reverse when i quit.
Is there a way to toggle this on tasker ? Or better switch simcard when signal is too poor on the active one.
Thanks for any suggestion
Kenny

I don't have a dual sim phone so I can't test this.
I think you can use the secure setting value system switch_dual_card_slots. I would monitor that value when you manually switch sims and determine if that is the correct value.
You can do the monitoring either using AutoTools secure settings or via adb using the command "adb shell settings list system" before switching and after switching.
In a terminal with root, or using a Tasker root shell, you can return only switch_dual_card_slots using grep:
settings list system | grep switch_dual_card_slots
If that setting doesn't exist in your device, you need to figure out which setting is toggled when you switch sims.
Once you get the right setting, you will probably have to force some sort of refresh to get it recognized. There simplest way to achieve that might just be to automate a reboot. Force stopping phone or some other system app might possibly work.

Just checked but no trace of switch_dual_cards_slot in setting list system.
Moreover nothing change in system when i switch data sim.
I searched more and in global i have 2 lines witch change on toggle :
multi_sim_data_call=3
to
multi_sim_data_call=2
and
user_preferred_data_sub=3
to
user_preferred_data_sub=2
I don't really know why sim card 1 is number 3 but seems to be that.

And if you manually change those values, are you able to switch the preferred sim?
If not, does it switch after changing and then a reboot? If this happens, there probably is a broadcast intent needed to tell the system that the value had been updated.

[Galaxy S9] Tasker + Secure Settings won't work to turn on/off AOD

I've written two tasks which turn on and off AOD using Secure Settings, specifically by changing "aod_mode" under Device Settings to 1 or 0 respectively. To test this, I simply bound them both to widgets and placed them on a home screen. The issue is that they are not working; neither task actually changes the AOD setting. When I first made them, they both worked, and nothing new has been installed between then and now. They have not worked since I initially tested them. I'm wondering if there's something interfering with Secure Settings or Tasker from firing?

When you run the task, does it show up as running in the Tasker run log?
Have you tried running the command within a terminal?
What secure settings are you using? AutoTools, a different plug-in?

Yes, the tasks show up in the run log.

If you mean by using Tasker's "Run an Action" option, then yes, I did try that with no different results. If there's an actual terminal that you can enter commands into, I haven't tried that.

Not sure what you're asking here, do you mean what app am I using? The only thing I'm using for this task is Tasker itself and the Secure Settings app. Secure Settings has an option under "Actions" called "Device Settings" which contains the AOD mode.

If you are talking about the Secure Settings by intangibleObject plug-in, that one is seriously out of date [emoji6]
You should be able to use the inbuilt Tasker custom setting action:
<Disable AOD>
A1: Custom Setting
Type: System
Name: aod_mode
Value: 0
Use Root: Off
<Enable AOD>
A2: Custom Setting
Type: System
Name: aod_mode
Value: 1
Use Root: Off
If that doesn't work for some reason, there is the SecureTask plug-in. This plug-in will have to be added as a device administrator.

Thanks, I didn't know Secure Settings was out of date. I've been using it for years and I have a lot of tasks that rely on it for various things, none of them have stopped working until now. I'll keep that in mind and start trying to phase it out of my tasks. Using Tasker's built in custom setting action did the trick though.
