[HOW-TO] Protip: Have a "One Button" task that does whatever you need the most in any specific situation
I always like to perform tasks in the easiest way possible. This ideally involves not even looking at my phone. For example, I like to simply click on a button on my watch and make Tasker do stuff. There are other kinds of "one button" actions like these like for example:
- Long pressing the volume button
- Double tapping the power button
- Fingerprint unlocking with different fingers
- Tapping the Bixby button
- Holding the Bixby Button
- Navigation Bar Button
- Quick Setting Tile
- Home Screen Shortcut
- Android Wear Watch button (with AutoWear)

All of these are quick and easy to perform and don't require much attention and time.

So why not create a task that runs whenever you do any of these actions (so you don't have to remember which one triggers which) and does something you usually need in that situation?

For example if I click the button on my watch, long press a volume button or unlock my phone with my middle finger:
- when I'm at home
- - if it's morning my phone tells me where I parked my car so I know
- - if it's in the afternoon, my workout app opens
- - If it's in the evening, my lights turn on/off
- - It it's at night my lights dim to a minimum
- - If it's bedtime, my lights turn on for 3 minutes and then turn off so I can get to bed
- when I'm in my car podcasts or music start playing alternatively (I listen to both on different occasions)
- when I'm on my lunch break, podcasts start playing

and all of this with just one single button/action!

If you use my previous protip of using variables for states the task to do this will be very simple too! Check it out:

Basically just have a bunch of If-Elses that for each situation execute different tasks.

This is super convenient to have because you have a button that will do whatever you need the most in any given situation! :)

#project #CurrentAppActivity
DESCRIPTION
This project will allow you to show the app name, package name and class name of current activity. And in real time!

Notes:
- The project uses the %(WIN) variable, so it requires to have the 'App Check Method' set as 'Accessibility' to work well, if using the root version. (only if launching it from 'Start' task, not applicable with 'Start (loop)')
- If you don't mind switching App Check Method manually every time you want to use the project, it's OK. But, an action is included inside 'Setup' task, that will switch such option automatically for you.
- Logcat Entry profile is set for the non-root version, but you can change the detection method by %(WIN) var if you wish.
- As logcat components and filters may change from device to device, here you have a compatibility list. If you don't find the right for your device, contact us through the TPC chat groups.

CHANGELOG
- Fix: Some small configuration errors for default values (plugins).

#profile #BatteryDesignCapacityChecker
DESCRIPTION
If you don't know the capacity of your battery, this profile will tell you that. The total detected capacity will be shown in a notification (statusbar) when the phone gets fully charged.

Notes:
- The profile is configured to react when the device is fully charged (specific intent sent), not just when 100% appears.
- The final result in mAh is just approximate, so keep it in mine.
- If the device is rooted, you can get the official value running the following command in a Shell action: 'cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full_design'.

VERSION

#task #ToggleAndroidBackgroundProcessLimit
DESCRIPTION
This task will allow you to toggle in the background, and check the current process limit value for Android. Found under Developer Options.

Notes:
- Even the permission is now integrated into Tasker's AndroidManifest file, you will need to manually grant it. Use the following cmd to do so: pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.SET_PROCESS_LIMIT.
- As the value will be restored after rebooting the device, create a 'Device Boot' profile event to automate it.

#project #FingerprintDemoActions
DESCRIPTION
As per user requests, I have decided to create this little project to show you some examples of how to use the biometric sensor of your device (if available) to perform different actions.

These are the things you will learn...
• Finger Touch (any): Perform customized actions depending on which finger has touched the sensor. (*)
• Finger (down) [1] + (up): Calculate elapsed time between finger (down) and finger (up), so you can perform long press actions.
• Finger (down) [2]: Double tap gestures (or more).
• Finger (down) [3] + Screen (unlock): React to specific unlock attempts (failed). (*)
• Finger (down) [4]: React to authentication success. (unlocked) (*)
• Finger (down) [5]: Get authentication parameters, like: coverage, quality and average score. (*)

This project does not contain predefined actions that execute certain applications, nor does it carry out specific actions. What is included are generic actions as a demonstration, which can then be extrapolated (idea) to other projects.

Notes:
- The project uses the 'Logcat Entry' action, added in Tasker v5.9.beta8.
- To use it just toggle according profile(s) from the list above.
- There are several ways to make the profile detect the decided filter: applying regex expressions, filtering by specific words/terms, or searching for matching elements from within the associated task by reading the %(lc_text) var.
- (*) The device needs to be locked (Lockscreen).
- IDs are unique for each device, and also components/services can vary from device to device. Therefore, I recommend you not to take these components/filters that I have used in the project as them are. If they work, perfect! But if not, you should look for the corresponding ones for your device. But at least you will have a base to start.
- As logcat components and filters may change from device to device, here you have a compatibility list. If you don't find the right for your device, contact us through the TPC chat groups.
