Where is the Google Tasks folder on Android?
According to this [website][1], it's /data/data/com.google.android.apps.tasks/. On my phone, there's no such folder anywhere. In fact, there's no /data/data anywhere.

According to this website , it's
/data/data/com.google.android.apps.tasks/.
On my phone, there's no such folder anywhere. In fact, there's no /data/data anywhere. I do have the Tasks app installed. My Android version is 9, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy J5.
I am hoping that I can recover an older version of Tasks' database, because something very important was somehow deleted, that's why I am looking for the folder. Anyone knows where it is?

6. Tap that button

I recently installed Google Tasks and was surprised to find tasks and lists over there. I haven't used Google Tasks on the web (or from gmail) either.
Those were old tasks/notes taken around 3-6 years ago.
I checked my Google keep, Google reminders/assistant and Gmail (which are the platforms I use and used for reminders/notes/lists) and haven't found any origin for them.
(I rarely delete, I always archive, so if it existed in one of them it should've been found). Where did they arrived from? By beeshyams ' advice is I searched in my Google activity for phrases and tasks I had in the list, but I only found them in the search history, and not in any kind of task/list/note app. Examples:

There is a "Tasks" calendar that can be selected on the Google Calendar web interface, that displays all Gmail tasks deadlines. This calendar is not shown/synced in the Google Calendar app. Is there a adapter app that works for tasks like maybe the Birthday Adapter app works for events? I'm not looking for a separate tasks app unless it can also hook into Google Calendar to show my tasks there.

Making Google Reminders show today's items in my notification drawer

I currently use Google Tasks (Google Reminders' predecessor) with an [app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.teamtasks.tasks.paid) that displays today's items in my notification drawer so I don't forget about them.
I'd like to switch to Google Reminders so that I can see everything within the Calendar app. However, it doesn't seem to display today's reminders in my notification drawer by default. Is there a way to get today's Google Reminders to show up in your notification drawer?

I digress.
Is there an app available that both syncs with Google Tasks and uses a notification badge to keep track of the number of uncompleted tasks?

I have a OnePlus One running CyanogenMod 12.
I started using tasks within Business Calendar 2 PRO app heavily. They synchronize using google tasks. So I can see my tasks in google calendar. This works well with my Nexus 7 2013 tablet and PC and worked well with the phone too. The phone recently stop synchronizing correctly and does not want to work again.
Screenshot - Sync (Click to enlarge image)
I noticed that arrows stay present after trying to sync the Calendar. First they wiggle instead of turning awkwardly and end up staying there. The events get synced, the tasks not.
I also have a "Sound Search for Google Play" syncing problem, but I turned that one off for the reason so that it does not interfere.
I have no idea what to do. Once I had a similar problem with Google Keep and I managed to find a card that was causing some db problem on google site - I removed it and synchronized and it started working again. But I could not see anything interesting in the logs this time.

I am somewhat new to Android. I would like to know why the Contacts and Tasks functionality which is found in the web version of Gmail is missing from the Android Gmail app. Where can I find these?
- I could look for my Gmail contacts in the Contacts stock app, but it shows all contacts, not only Gmail contacts, and I can't filter these so as to show only the Gmail contacts.
- Also, there is no Google Tasks app on Google Play. What's the best way to view such tasks?

Task management software that will sync with GTasks and exchange?
I am trying desparately to find an app solution to manage all of my disparate task lists. I work for two companies, both supply me with exchange credentials and a phone (one iphone, one blackberry).

I am trying desparately to find an app solution to manage all of my disparate task lists. I work for two companies, both supply me with exchange credentials and a phone (one iphone, one blackberry). Both sites run through exchange. My personal device is a Samsung Galaxy S3.
For personal tasks I have been using Astrid, but I am unable to get my outlook tasks that way. I have heard people suggest using touchdown, but that would create yet another task manager that I'd have to tangle with. The solution I am looking for is something that would either:
1. Sync exchange at each site to google tasks, which astrid would then sync on to my personal device.
2. Allow astrid to directly pull down tasks from the exchange servers
3. Provide some other 3rd party task manager which would sync with google tasks, and both exchange servers.
I am using a mac, so sadly the outlook sync for google apps program won't work (it's windows only, and only compatible with the windows version of outlook).
Any recommendations on how to accomplish what I'm doing? Right now I am missing tasks because I have to juggle 3 different devices to get everything, and it's having a pretty big impact on my productivity.

Now that there is an API for Google Tasks (tasks in Calendar), do you know a tasks app with the following features?
- Automatic sync with Google Tasks
- Open Source
- Works offline too.
- Minimalist (same featureset as Google Tasks, plus widget maybe)
- A new task can be added very quickly, without having tens of inputs to enter deadline/assignee or anything that is not available in Google Tasks anyway.
- Available for my poor Android 1.5 phone
