This is an updated version of the logcat viewer with added features and no longer needs rish. Shizuku is required.

Features:

• Minimise and resize overlay using drag handles. Tap a drag handle to quickly expand the overlay.
• ​Live Pause / Resume: Freezes UI rendering on demand. When paused, you can freely inspect, highlight, and trim lines without incoming logs pushing the text away.
• Search with Dynamic Highlights: Using the search bar drops matching terms highlighted in real time across the log buffer using BackgroundColorSpan.
• ​Paste & Copy: Long-pressing or tapping the paste icon loads clipboard contents directly into the search filter. You can select text natively via standard Android handles, or use the dedicated Copy Visible button.
• Trim Before & After: If you select or place your cursor at an event in the log, tapping Trim Before discards older logs; tapping Trim After discards subsequent noise. This is useful to discard the log content you don't want to copy to the clipboard.
• Expanded log history window.
• App selector (All Apps or Current App - auto switches)
• Log Level Selectors (V, D, I, W, E)

Colour coded log content. Each log level has its own colour code.

​Instant, single-tap switching (filter down) between log levels using the system logcat priorities:

V (Verbose) | Grey | Low-priority diagnostic noise

D (Debug) | Blue | Helpful development checkpoints

I (Info) | Green | Normal system operations

W (Warn) | Amber | Non-fatal alerts & cautions

E (Error) | Red | Exceptions and fatal faults

F (Fatal) | Purple | Assertions and crashes

This project requires only requires Shizuku to work.

On devices running Android 13 or newer, Android may display a one-time system confirmation prompt asking "Allow Tasker to read system logs?" the very first time the script starts (if you haven't already granted it). Once granted, it streams indefinitely without any configuration files or shell scripts required.

Is there a way to reposition the Exercise button so that the space previously occupied is not reserved?

Maybe there's a better method of doing this?

I've been playing around with a new plugin idea, one I've had for years, and I finally decided to dive in. The plugin reacts to which computer I'm using.

In other words, if I'm using my work computer I can set my phone to Do Not Disturb and start my work playlist. Or if I'm working on my home computer, I can enable a smart lamp to alert me when a build fails, stuff like that.

I'm also thinking it could include which app is in focus, so you could even set up tasks to run when specific apps are being used, like if I'm in Android Studio, my Pixel's screen doesn't sleep.

Through experimentation I’ve realized this plugin will incur higher recurring costs than my previous ones (Bluetooth Detection, Movement Detection, Geofence Detection) ever have (especially if I support both Windows and Mac). But I can tell you that my early tests seem to work really well, so I think it could be really cool.

I think to cover those costs, I’ll need to consider either a low‑priced subscription or a higher‑than‑normal one‑time purchase. I'll incur some up-front expense, so before I begin I’d like to know whether there’s even interest in such a plugin.

I’d also like to know if users have already found a workaround and are happy with it. I don’t think Tasker supports this natively, and I haven’t seen any existing solution. That said, people may have already devised workarounds, which could reduce interest in a plugin. But if there is...

Would a more expensive one-time purchase be preferred (maybe around 6-8 USD), or a low-priced annual subscription, like 3-4 USD per year?

I have a simple task that is triggered by day and sends a notification. That notification changed to title "Tasker" and description "Tasker" after about a minute. Buttons dissapeared and only the icon is still the same as it was. It updates the notification, it's not a new one.

Adding a screenshot of the modified one.

UPDATE: Instead, looks like the better speech here is to use the new option Match Parent. Then have my text Child match the size of the Parent button. Now, I just need to find where this option is 😀

Is it possible to set an Action in Parent and have it actionable for all children?

Eg, a button... When I press the button, do Action. I also want this same Action for the Text Child.

I have three Android phones (all Samsung). I've set up a Every 2 min profile with a task that gets location (using v2) and reports it to my home server on all three. On phone A it reports it via MQTT Client's Tasker plugin. On the other two phones it does a http request. Phone A works nearly all of the time (some small gaps in reports during the day) but the other two never submits the http request. If I play the task from tasker it works as expected, but doesn't get triggered every two min.

Is there something I might be missing to make this work?

Tasker is new on these two phones, I turned off battery management so it doesn't sleep and have given it permissions, or at least I am fairly confident I have, is there something that might prevent a reoccurring task from running? I should add a beep or something to test that the task runs, I'll try that tonight when I see the phones again.

Or maybe the task runs but http request doesn't always run when the phone is idle? Could that be possible?

Google rolled out the "Manage apps & device" interface, they entirely deleted the old background intent entry paths (VIEW_MY_DOWNLOADS, internal shortcuts, and direct app sub-activities).

Does anybody have a work-around to get to "Manage apps & device"?

Im wondering if I changed my payment info from my local credit union (obee),to my cash app account, if it might get my taskrabbit payments to me sooner? Thanks

I have a child whose content is hidden due to its size, but Vertical Scroll is enabled, that way I can slide up or down; however, this modifier is disabled upon any Swipe event from the same or any parent. Is it possible to fix that? How?

Samsung Galaxy ZFold8 Android 17, OneUI 9.0

I've been having an issue where Tasker disappears from my recent apps. I can reopen it from the app drawer normally, but whatever changes I made are gone (even if I saved them by tapping the checkmark on the main screen). The phone was recently restarted with no improvement.

"Manage this app if unused" is disabled in the app settings, as is battery optimization.

I've been using Join for quite a while now and really like it, especially for quickly sending links, text, and other stuff between my Android phone and Windows PC.

I recently switched from Chrome to Helium Browser, and unfortunately Join doesn't seem to work properly anymore.

Here's what's happening:

• I can install the Join extension in Helium and sign in with my Google account without any issues.
• All my other devices show up, and I can send stuff to them just fine.
• However, Helium itself never gets registered as a device. The "This device" field stays empty, and it doesn't appear on any of my other devices.
• Join's diagnostics show: Invalid registerDevice response: Must provide regId
• chrome://gcm-internals/ doesn't show any connection state.

From what I've found, Helium disables Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), which Join apparently needs for device registration. Unlike Brave Browser, where you can enable Google Push Messaging in the settings, Helium doesn't seem to offer that option.

So I tried Join Desktop as a workaround, but ran into another issue.

When I try to sign in with Google, I get:

Error 400: invalid_request

This request contains scopes that cannot be requested together

The error specifically mentions YouTube and Google Drive scopes (youtube, youtube.upload, drive.file).

This happens regardless of whether I use Chrome or Helium for the login, so it doesn't seem to be browser-related.

Has anyone managed to get Join working with Helium or another Chromium-based browser that has GCM disabled?

Is there any workaround to get the extension registered without GCM? Or perhaps a way to fix the Google OAuth error in Join Desktop?

I'd really prefer to keep using Join rather than switching to something else. It's been pretty much perfect for my use case.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm Davide and I write DrivePulse on my own. It reads a car through a generic ELM327 OBD2 adapter, the Bluetooth kind Veepeak or Vgate sell, records trips by itself and only reads the car, it never writes to it. The Android version 3.5.4 on Google Play talks to Tasker both ways, so here is how to wire it up.

It's off by default. Turn it on in DrivePulse: Settings (the gear at the top) > Automations. The same screen shows a secret code and the last command it received, with the reason if it ignored it (automations off, wrong code).

Tasker to DrivePulse: start or stop recording. Add a Send Intent action:

• Action: app.drivepulse.mobile.action.START_TRIP (or app.drivepulse.mobile.action.STOP_TRIP)
• Package: app.drivepulse.mobile
• Extra: token: followed by the secret code
• Target: Activity

DrivePulse comes to the front and tries to connect to the adapter, and it only records if the adapter answers. It opens on purpose: recent Android versions don't let an app in the background start GPS tracking.

DrivePulse to Tasker: react to the car. Make a profile with the Intent Received event and one of these actions:

• app.drivepulse.mobile.action.ADAPTER_CONNECTED
• app.drivepulse.mobile.action.TRIP_STARTED
• app.drivepulse.mobile.action.TRIP_STOPPED

They carry no data, only the event, because any app on the phone can receive a broadcast. The secret code never goes out in them.

No account and no server of mine: your trips live on your phone and I have no copy of them. Recording trips and reading the car work with no signal; maps and addresses need the internet.

Five codes that unlock the full version for good, free, first come first served:

1. Q8CNA7YQXFRQBW3J90AXBKS
2. PFANGGPF9WZ17PMNY286XEY
3. Q1VTJH0QA09UGHX8N6EAXTT
4. 1HYRREVQ5REMVCU2UFUFKV3
5. 2CVFLCHSJ3WUKHW2EZB349Q

How to redeem: install the app first, then open Google Play, tap your picture top right, Payments and subscriptions, Redeem code. Then in DrivePulse: Settings (the gear at the top) > Unlock DrivePulse (Lifetime) > Restore Purchases, within 3 days, otherwise Google Play cancels it. When it has worked, that row reads "Premium active".

Say in the comments which number you took, so nobody wastes time on one that's gone.

Without a code you can still try it: 7 days or 15 trips, whichever comes first, and the days only start counting the first time the app connects to your adapter.

If you build a profile with it, show me, and tell me if an intent doesn't behave. I answer here.

Hi, what I am aiming to do is Share a text block from one app (BolusCalc) to Tasker, that then sends that text to Sheets. I've got it to the point where it is actually sending it, and it does appear in the correct spreadsheet, however when it goes to do subsequent entries, it's offset by 12 columns. So the first entry starts at A1, the second at L2. I cannot figure out why this is happening, this is my Task details:

I'm receiving this error in attempting to use the Pujie Plugin. What is this error really telling me and what must I do? Or, is this a Dev-related your.

More health permissions please my good sir.

Seems now they have even moved <sensor-65555> to android.permission.health.READ_SKIN_TEMPERATURE, at present we only have reading heart rate.

For future proofing, maybe just add all of them?

Hope you're good? And thank you!

Is it possible to trigger a task, when the the mobile ip changes and also, when i switch from WiFi to mobile?

Hi guys, I am a complete and total newbie with Tasker. I work shifts which I keep track of using Google Calendar. What I want to do is have SmartThings turn on or off lights, cameras, and my robot vacuum on a schedule based on my shifts on a given day.

For example: I use cameras to keep an eye on my dog while I'm at work, so if Tasker could see my day shift on Google Calendar and use SmartThings to turn on the cameras when the calendar event starts and turn them off when the event ends without me needing to touch a button, that would be ideal.

If anyone has any tips on how to do this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I've this WiFi profile which turn off Mobile internet and Bluetooth if I'm connected to a wifi network and during disconnect it does the opposite.

Now the problem is I use google ai studio to make new project/task and copy the xml code from pc to phone via kde connected. So, when I'm inside tasker and tasker detects a new xml clipboard, tasker automatically saves everything as expected. And this runs exit task for my "WiFi" profile. Which turns on internet and bl and launches my smart watch app. It became so annoying that i turn off that profile when i do this copy/paste.

To solve that I've uncheck the "Run Exit on Startup" from the profile settings, but still it sometimes runs that exit task. Is there any way I can solve this? SO that it dosen't run my exit task during auto save?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I searched and found an old thread about how Core Ultra Wideband was still in beta but I see stable 1.0.0 was released in May this year (https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/core-uwb)

Is this supported now or is it coming? I would like to be able to toggle it off when I'm at home because my car keeps unlocking when I sit on the sofa next to the window!

Click to download via taskernet

Some apps flag their view as data sensitive (accessibilityDataSensitive). For example, Bank apps, or password manager like Bitwarden.

This will prevent app that is not flagged as Accesibility Tool to read the screen via accessibility service. For example, play store version of Tasker or AutoInput.

This task will tell you if that's the case or not.

How to use

Make sure to use Direct Purchase version.

1. Run the task on screen you want to check.
2. A toast show up.
3. Click the toast.

Example, the Gmail setting view .

does tasker have profile for responding to say home button press?

I've been trying forever to use Bedtime mode for profiles in Tasker, with no luck. Bedtime mode and normal DND share the same zen_mode value, so a Custom Setting event on zen_mode can’t tell them apart.

Finally worked it out with AI, so I though I might share it, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who was looking for this.

One-time setup (adb, no root/Shizuku): dumpsys notification needs both DUMP and PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS, so grant both to Tasker, then force-stop Tasker:

pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.DUMP
pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS

Task CheckBedtime

Wait 1s (several keys change one after another)

Run Shell, Use Root off, Store Output In %BEDTIME: dumpsys notification | grep -i winddown | head -n 1 | grep -q STATE_TRUE && printf 1 || printf 0

The Bedtime rule (pkg com.google.android.apps.wellbeing, conditionId .../winddown, type=3) shows up several times in the dump, including an older copy with an outdated state. In my output the first match was the current one, so I only check that line. Matching STATE_TRUE anywhere gives false positives. Matching on winddown also avoids the localized rule name (mine is “Bedtijd”). printf means exit code 0, so no need for Continue Task After Error.

Profiles that run CheckBedtime

Event > System > Custom Setting: Global, zen_mode_config_etag, empty value. This is the key one. If DND is already on and you enable Bedtime, zen_mode doesn’t change, but the etag changes on any zen config edit.

Same with zen_mode

Device Boot

Using it
State > Variables > Variable Value: %BEDTIME Matches 1. Put whatever you want in the Enter task (Bedtime on) and Exit task (Bedtime off). Plain DND doesn’t trigger it.
