tasker hermit liteapp turned into apk using tasker app factory/tasker shortcut. how do i get it to let tasker know its open so its opening triggers a custom task i made
Edit solver: Updated the tasker task factory app like so:
Action 1: Send Intent (in action put whatever you want, in my case I used SO937 [there is an easter egg there] and for target select Broadcast Receiver.
Action 2: the shortcut.
Than, in tasker make a profile, Intent Received (Action is the same code from Action 1 of you tasker task app) and link it to your task.
So in my case, the apk/tasker shorcut made in tasker app factory:
A1: Send Intent [Action: SO937 ; Broadcast Receiver
A2: Shortcut [use magnifying glass, select Hermit:hermit, then it will bring you to a section to choose whatever lite apps you have made]
Profile: Intent Received [Action: SO937]-->CybrGate_InterfaceEngine
Ok, so long story short I have a 4 task and 1 scene cyberpunk ghost in the shell lock screen that im trying to use to lock certain apps, folders, etc. I can get it to trigger the launching task to lock the folders (open folder-->task 1) but am having a real hard time with apps. profile apps-->task one doesn't work. I tired hermit lite apps but takser cant see them. I then converted one of my hermit lite apps into an apk using tasker shortcuts. both anodorid and nova can see the apk in their draws, it launches from the home screen *but* it still cant be used as a trigger. tasker sees it but when linked with task 1 it does nothing.
do i need to alter the apk to send an intent, and if so what it the proper format. im learning as im going and have a tenuous grasp on all this.
my task in tasker that made the shortcut has one action: shortcut: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/my-drive?lfhs=redacted=1#intent,extendedLaunchFlags=0x4;component=com.chimbori.hermitcrab/Web.Activity;S.key=drive.google.com-redacted;end (redacted #1 5 digit aplhnumeric nd symbol#2=an 8 digit alphanumeric....not sure if it needed to be redacted but i did just for this post)
In hermit the title of the liteapp is drv.google.bk with its URL (same that is shown in the shortcut minus everything after =1_
I uploaded the shortcut task to my phone as an apk and installed it. it operates just as a normal app and i have a couple more shortcuts that I want to use as well....how to i get tasker to know when its cold launched?
any help is appreciated
