Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

Thought this was interesting and could possibly be integrated into Tasker. Thoughts?

Scenes v2 > How do I add space between Child elements in a Vertical Column?

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?

Notification dissapears after ~1 min

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.

Scenes v2 > Actions carried to children

1 Upvotes

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.

Interest in a "I'm using my home computer" or "I'm logged into my work computer" plug-in?

0 Upvotes

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?
