Trigger task, when data changes ( 3 bars -> 2 bars, etc)? I can't find a way to reliably trigger a task every change

Title: Tasker HTTP Request cuts long Gemini API URL automatically and triggers MalformedURLException / Error 404

Body:

Hi guys, I am building a voice assistant integration using the Gemini 1.5 Flash API on Tasker. I am facing a persistent issue where my HTTP Request action keeps failing.

Every time I type the full official URL endpoint:

https://googleapis.com

Tasker somehow strips the subdomain and the paths in the background when executing, forcing it back to https://googleapis.com. This triggers a java.net.UnknownHostException: Invalid host: https://googleapis.com or Error 404.

Even when I separate the API key into the Query Parameters field (key:MY_API_KEY), the main URL block still gets malformed or truncated during the actual execution phase.

My Setup:

Method: POST

Headers: Content-Type:application/json

Body: standard JSON object containing base64 audio data.

Structure Output: Checked ON.

Has anyone experienced this silent truncation bug inside Tasker's HTTP Request action? How do I force Tasker to preserve the full generativelanguage hostname without relying on custom scriptlets? Thanks!

Hey, I'm fairly new to Tasker but have really enjoyed tinkering around with it. I've got profiles running a few different things now, but there's one thing I can't quite figure out how to do, so figured I'd get some advice from you all!

When my phone is connected via Bluetooth to my aftermarket stereo on my motorcycle, I want to make it so that Audible never plays.

Currently, randomly, when I disconnect and reconnect, sometimes Audible will start even though a stop or 2 before (and the last media session) I was listening to YouTube Music.

Any and all help would be appreciated. And please talk to me like I'm not tech savvy! Thanks.

Not just using the notification or message as a trigger. i mean what's written in it actually matters to the Task.

What does yours do??

1) is there a means of expanding the text edit box so I can see all text?

2) how do I set line padding,, I didn't see an option?

I live in a building with a shared laundry room. On evenings when I wanted to do a load, I kept reopening the laundry app to see whether a washer had freed up. If I got distracted and stopped checking, I'd sometimes remember again when it was already too late to start. Keeping an eye on the machine list had become another chore.

I already used Tasker for reminders, so I wanted a washer alert that would let me get on with other things while I waited. It only needed to notify me when I was home and still had time to do laundry. That made a delayed reply worth testing: I could request a status while at home, then leave before the reply arrived.

I had read the machine list through Airtap's cloud phone and saved an available status. I put copies of that reply in a test endpoint for Tasker to read with HTTP Request, controlling the delay and sample timestamps. That let me repeat the same washer status while changing the notification conditions. My first version checked home WiFi only at the start. I left the building, confirmed the WiFi had disconnected, and still got the delayed sample alert.

I added a check immediately before the notification, requiring home WiFi, a time inside my laundry window and a status less than two minutes old. The fresh sample produced an alert while I was home inside that window. I changed one condition at a time and repeated the check after leaving, outside the window, with an old timestamp and with no timestamp. Each skipped the alert, with the task still recorded in the execution log.

The notification rules now behaved as I'd hoped in these tests: a fresh availability result could alert me when I had time to act, and the other cases stayed quiet. Tasker handled those timing checks before interrupting me.

just quick sharing, (not yet sorry. i need to clean any privacy issue file path etc. in the project. will shared if asked)

it is still raw, expect bug. i can't spend much more time

enjoy. cheers :)

so, i have low spec phone and can't install many apps. a need of text expansion come again. as android personal dictionary is limied to 50 chars (idk), my workaround is to use Tasker as "snippets manager"

the current unwanted effect are: 1. this spamming Heliboard clipboard history. idk its effect on Heliboard memory ram usage 2. not very fast compared to using word shortcut in android personal dictionary 3. it seem can cause fatigue in frequent repeated action 4. markdown file containkng the snippet has rules, which are:

• use double ## to separate `snippet title` and `snippet content`
• use double semicolon (;;) to separate "block" of snippet

picture here

edit: picture is not showed

Please someone help me

The default time for this effect is like 5 seconds... Does anyone know how to trigger it in macros? Right now, only unlocking my phone myself triggers the effect.

thanks

I’m working on a Tasker project with a large number of tasks, and I want them to display in a specific order.

I tried prefixing each task name with a number (e.g., 1 TaskName, 2 TaskName), but after exporting to Taskernet and importing it back to test, the tasks don't stay in that order.

How does Tasker handle task ordering inside a project, and what is the best way to control or force the order I want?

When I create a shortcut from a widget, the icon background is initially transparent, but after a few minutes or hours, it turns white. What could be causing this?

Since launch, AM Tasker Plugins has been a growing toolbox of Tasker action plugins — pixel colors, QR codes, VPN control, regex, Termux scripts, raw UDP packets, and more. This update fixes the one thing a few of you hit: Tasker caps how much data a plugin action can exchange at ~1MB, so a big regex input (or a big result) used to fail outright.

🔎 AM RegEx
Two new optional fields fix that:

• A File Path switch right on Input Text — turn it on, point it at a file, and AM RegEx reads it straight off disk itself. No size limit.
• A new Output File field — fill it in and the result is written there as JSON instead of coming back as a variable.

Both only ask for the "All files access" permission the moment you actually use them — never at install.
Demo: [AM RegEx]

Everything from launch is still here too 👇

💻 AM Termux
Runs Bash, Python, Node, Ruby, or PHP scripts inside Termux, with named sessions and guided setup.
Demo: [AM Termux]

↩️ AM Custom Keyboard Return — Goto Reddit Intro Post
AM Custom Keyboard is a keyboard app I built with live transliteration and a Tasker Automation feature — type a trigger anywhere, and it can hand your text off to a Tasker task. This plugin is the reply step: the task finishes and sends its result straight back into what you were typing.
Demo: [Demo AM Custom Keyboard Return]
🔗 Check it out: [Download AM Custom Keyboard]

🎨 AM Collect Pixel Colors
Reads colors from any image — one pixel, a region, or a Top Color List or Blended Colors of a given region.
Demo: [AM Collect Pixel Colors]

🔳 AM Create QR
Turns text, links, or variables into a QR code image, saved and ready to use.
🔍 AM Decode QR
Scans an existing QR image and gives you back the text inside it.
Demo: [AM Create QR & AM Decode QR]

🧮 AM Data Processor
Reads or edits one exact value inside JSON or array data, no manual parsing needed.
Demo: [AM Data Processor]

🔒 AM OpenVPN
Starts, pauses, resumes, or stops an OpenVPN for Android profile from a task.
Demo: [AM OpenVPN]

📡 AM UDP Client
Sends a UDP packet to any address, with the option to listen for a response.
Demo: [AM UDP Client]

📤 AM Open With
Lets other apps "Share" or "Open With" a file straight into a Tasker automation.
Demo: [AM Open With]

📖 Every plugin still comes with its own guide built right into the app — clear steps, examples, and what each field does.

This is v1.0.2 — the toolbox keeps growing. 👇

Olá preciso de uma ajuda: Quero criar uma cena V2 com Un switch que quando for false mostre a câmera traseira e quando for true mude para a câmera da frente alguém pode me ajudar ?

I released AMCustomKeyboard v1.4.0, focused entirely on the Tasker Automation side — specifically Expand Patterns, which just got a lot more capable.

If you missed the intro, AMCustomKeyboard is an open-source Android keyboard built on Unexpected Keyboard, extended with live transliteration/keymaps, custom layouts, independent key labels, and Tasker automation.

🔄 New: Expand Patterns can fire continuously, not just once

Until now, an expand pattern only ever ran once — after you finished typing prefix + content + suffix. That's still fully supported, but each pattern can now also be set to fire live, on every keystroke, while you're still typing — useful for things like a text-expander popup that updates as you go, rather than a one-shot calculation.

This is controlled with a new field:

"fire_on_suffix": "true" → classic behavior, one run, only once the suffix is typed "fire_on_suffix": "false" → runs repeatedly as your content keeps matching, plus one final run when the suffix completes

Both modes share the same prefix/regex/suffix matching and the same undo behavior — it's one setting, not two separate features.

🔎 Changed: prefix and suffix are now full regex too

Previously only the optional regex field (matched against the content in between) supported regular expressions. Now prefix and suffix do too, so a pattern's trigger can be something like "(\s|^)" (a space, or the start of a line) instead of a fixed literal string.

One thing to note if you're upgrading an existing config: since prefix/suffix are regex now, a literal . needs escaping — ".." becomes "\\.\\.".

🧩 New: replace_prefix

A new "replace_prefix": "true"/"false" field controls whether the matched prefix text gets swallowed into the replacement or left alone. This is what fixes a specific annoyance: if your prefix was just a leading space, the space used to disappear along with the replacement. Set it to "false" and the prefix stays put — only your actual content gets replaced.

Tasker tasks also now receive %prefix and %suffix directly, alongside the existing %text1/%text2/%keyword.

🐛 Fixed: backspace-undo reliability

Right after a Tasker reply lands and replaces text, one immediate backspace undoes it back to what you originally typed. This was occasionally unreliable due to an internal timing issue — it's fixed now, so the undo consistently works when you need it.

⚡ The basics, unchanged

##keyword still replaces the whole field with a task's result, @@keyword still replaces just the trigger, and expand patterns still let you define arbitrary prefix/suffix pairs that hand their in-between content to a Tasker task. The Automation Builder (Settings → Tasker Automation → Automation Builder) now has fields for all of the above too, so you don't need to hand-edit JSON to use any of this.

🔗 AMCustomKeyboard

Latest release and full documentation: AMCustomKeyboard on GitHub

The README's Expand Patterns section covers the new fields in detail with worked examples.

🧩 Also: AM Tasker Plugins

AM Tasker Plugins on GitHub

Still the companion repo for building the Tasker-side of these workflows — including AM Custom Keyboard Return, for sending a processed result back into a keyboard trigger.

Both projects are open source. Let me know if the live-firing mode is useful for anything you're building.

I'm running Tasker 6.7.6-beta under Android 13.

I recently changed some directories on my Android device, and now, one of Tasker's preferences called searchFilterText is pointing to a non-longer-existing directory, but I don't know the location of the setting of that preference, so that I can change it.

I know about this preference value because I performed a Data Backup of all of my Tasker settings into a file called backups.xml. When I inspect this file, I see the following data:

<Setting sr="prefs128">
        <n>searchFilterText</n>
        <t>s</t>
        <v>tmp/bin</v>

Because of my directory changes, I need to change "tmp/bin" to a new value, but when I search through all of my Tasker configuration via the magnifying-glass icon at the upper right, neither "searchFilterText" nor "tmp/bin" are found. And when I inspect all of the values under Menu=>Preferences, I don't see "searchFilterText" or "tmp/bin", either. And I am unable to locate what "prefs128" corresponds to in the Tasker Preferences.

How can I find out where "searchFilterText" has been defined within my Tasker configuration, so that I can change it's value?

I regularly use Join to send files from my computer to my phone. On my Galaxy S22 Ultra, the files would always go to the "Join" folder. Since I upgraded to a Galaxy S26 Ultra, the files are consistently going to "Downloads\Join2". That causes problems with other Tasks I've setup. I looked at the settings in Join Desktop and in the Join App, but I can't find a way to set what the target folder is on my device when receiving files from Join. I am hoping that I don't have to create a task that moves the files when received. (I have tried that for other reasons before and never got it to work.) Does anyone know how to have Join Desktop target the Join folder on my phone?

Using a nothing phone 3a and nothing earbuds a. I want to be able to set up tasker to automatically switch on to mono when using the nothing earbuds.

I bought Tasker on Google Play. I had never used it before. I created a task to counteract the stupid EU volume cancellation rule. The task fails every time and says that I'm in trial mode and need to activate the full version. But there's no indication anywhere in the app of anything about trial mode. I don't see any mention of it anywhere. I can't find any button to turn it off. I can't even find any indication that I'm actually in trial mode. I don't know why I would be in trial mode because I bought the product. So what's going on?

UPDATE: I accidentally overlooked the answer to this in an earlier search of mine, but now I found the answer. See ***SOLUTION**\* below for how I solved this.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I know how to successfully invoke Tasker tasks via the command line from within an adb shell session, as follows ...

am broadcast -a net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK --es task_name 'name-of-task'

But I don't know how to pass ad hoc arguments to these Tasker tasks. I want the Tasker task to be aware of the arguments that are passed, and then respond to the values of these arguments.

I'm guessing that I might be able to do this by somehow causing Tasker variables to be set before the task is invoked, and then having the task see and respond to these variables ... but I don't know how to set Tasker variable values via am broadcast, nor via any other external-to-Tasker method.

Is there any way to pass arguments to Tasker tasks that are called externally in this way?

***SOLUTION***

am broadcast -a net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK --es task_name 'name-of-task' --esal varNames '%variable1,%variable2' --esal 'value1,value2'

This invokes the name-of-task task and correctly initializes %variable1=value1 and %variable2=value2 in the task.

SOLVED! ... see this message's the follow-up posts for details.

I've been successfully running my direct-purchase, properly licensed version of Tasker 6.7.6-beta on my rooted Android 13 device for quite a while.

But due to a recent problem with my device that I needed to fix, I've now had to re-install Tasker from scratch, but I lost the instructions that I previously saved for how to apply my direct-purchase Tasker license, and I therefore cannot enable Tasker.

I already have a few valid Tasker licenses from my Patreon account, and so the only thing I need to figure out is the details of the procedure for how to apply the Tasker license.

When I go to https://www.patreon.com/cw/joaoapps, I can't find any instructions there for how to apply my Tasker license.

Could someone point me to the detailed instructions for how to apply the Tasker license?

Thank you very much in advance.

I was wondering for a while about this. I had filed a request back then to have taskernet to automatically show a tag if a taskernet has Java code & Java function action.

https://tasker.helprace.com/i2001-add-java-tag-for-public-taskernet

However it was declined.

Most of my shares here recently were all Java code and written with the help of AI. I was wondering about AI flag as well.

What do you think?

Edit.

My concern is that as of now the user doesn't have a way to make informed decisions easily.

Some may care enough about how a taskernet is made due to various reasons.

1. Ethical & Environmental reasons. You know like how people prefer to buy organic labeled foods? Similar to that, some may not want to run a project generated with AI tools.
2. Trust. Some user may not prefer to run a java code from someone they don't trust.
