    AutoSheets Get Data, change output list separator of rows/columns like Joiner

    Arthur · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I use AutoSheets Get Data to pickup a range of cells to transform the rows in a variable array for a project. The problem is that the default row separator is a comma and some cells in the middle of the range have a comma inside. Some are numbers (ex. 1.080,75) and some cells may have a comma in the middle of the text. The Joiner option is great to set a custom separator, but if could have another "Joiner" option to set the other separator, that would be amazing for fine tuning the data.

    Example:

    No Name · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    This is a very annoying issue and I would be really glad if it could be looked into.

    ₹ (Indian Rupee) sign is regularly mistaken for the number 7 by Auto Tools OCR. Could you please look into how this can be fixed?

    Thank you so much. I love Auto Tools and Tasker.

    Allow webscreens to use the native Tasker command system

    rbrtryn · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently webscreens can only use the AutoApps command system. Now that Tasker has its own native command system, webscreens should be able to send those commands as well.

    A new 'Wait' parameter in AutoTools HTML Read action

    BrokenUpdate · 2 · Last reply by BrokenUpdate

    Sometimes when trying to extract HTML data from websites containing Java, AutoTools does't wait for the sites to fully load (until Java loads all the stuff) and it fetches the HTML data without the necessary stuff (with use Java option enabled).

    I've observed this in a couple of websites where Java is used to load images. It takes a couple of seconds for the browser to load/display these images. And when I tried using AutoTools HTML Read action to get the links of the images, it just gave me a # value, which is the value of the image attribute before

    3d touch repeatedly until offer is accepted

    Benjamin Richter · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I receive job offers in an app, I need to repeatedly select two parts of the screen, the lower part of the screen first, the top part of the screen second and the lower part of the screen again. I need the 3d touch to occur repeatedly because offers may come 5 to 10 minutes apart. Is this possible without rooting my device?

    Apps to work without data - on USSD

    Akshay · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    In Oreo, apps are allowed to read & initiate USSD dialogue. Using which telcos , VAS providers can offer search & other low data applications (non-media types) on USSD channel , instead of data channel. Useful for location cards or all situations when data is switched off or when data connectivity is unavailable.

    Ability to query image resolution

    Justin Motroni · 2 · Last reply by Justin Motroni

    Something that would fit in the AutoTools > Image category that would be quite useful would be the ability to query a specified image's resolution, to return the WxH values.

    Doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this so far, and it would be great for my wallpaper setting task, to ensure that the random image Tasker selects won't look pixelly when applied stretched as the wallpaper.

    Ability to switch Bluetooth Tethering on and off

    I'd like to be able to use AutoTools to turn on my phones Bluetooth Tethering. It always turns of after restarting the phone, or turning bluetooth itself of and on again. There are apps for this on the Play Store but I would really like to be able to do it with Tasker :)

    Read USSD messages in Android Oreo

    Prasant · 2 · Last reply by Bs Xx7 37

    Android Oreo allows apps to send and read USSD messages. It would be great if AutoTools could support this as reading data usages from the carrier is much more accurate than what the system does. More information about this here: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-ussd-codes-carriers/

    Secure Settings System with Root

    I'm using a OnePlus 3T and I was never able to edit any of the System Settings.

    After some searching around I found out that this seems to be an Android restriction.

    But I just recently rooted my devices and found that I could change System Settings with Tasker using:

    Run Shell

    Command: settings put system buttons_brightness 0

    Use Root: YES

    So my question is: Could you add a "Use Root" option into AutoTools Secure Settings as a workaround?

    Thanks :)!

    Control Accessibility via Secure Settings

    Ian Grody · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    After tinkering with Android TV boxes, a lot of them were void of Accessibility menu in the UI, so such services could not be accessed. Via ADB, I was able to enable apps to use Accessibility by use of settings.

    'settings put secure accessibility_enabled 1'

    AutoTools could check for the BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE in apps, check it's exported service and enable it.

    settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/MyAccessibilityService

     

    This has worked on two TV boxes running Android MM.

    App shortcuts in Nova Launcher

    Georg Trede · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm not sure how far this is possible, but it would be a very cool thing: There's already the App Shortcut action for Android 7.1, maybe it is possible to transfer it to launchers as the Nova Launcher. Some apps provide that, I'm not sure, whether Nova did that or the apps themselves... But one could give it a try.

    Enable/disable Single app notifications

    dragone17 · 2 · Last reply by dragone17

    I am talking about the option to enable/disable the notification on a per-app basis.

    On my phone (LG G3 with a stock based rom) is in settings - apps - [app name] - notifications (may not be the correct terms as english is not my first language)

    like my other suggestion, is something that the old secure settings does and I can't find anywhere else.
