How can I execute a tasker task only after a certain condition has been true for a certain time? Normally a profile executes its task as soon as all conditions are met.

How can I execute a tasker task only after a certain condition has been true for a certain time? Normally a profile executes its task as soon as all conditions are met. I want to delay this activation, until the conditions have stayed true for some time. E.g. * do something after the screen has been continuously off or on for 10 minutes * do something after wifi xy has not been near for 10 minutes * do something after cell towers x,y,z have not been near for 10 minutes.

Convenient way of checking is Shizuku server is running?
How can you check if Shizuku is running before executing the start command?

How can you check if Shizuku is running before executing the start command? I am running Shizuku on non rooted device and I noticed it randomly stops sometimes when wireless debugging becomes disabled (and this is expected AFAIK). I already have a task in Tasker that starts Shizuku, but I want it to run only when the server is not running already otherwise I could let it simply run all day but didn't want to stick to that route. Some users were suggesting using Termux:Tasker plugin and some adb commands to check for the %result but the plugin doesn't work on my device so am stuck.

Starting in I believe Android 14, the Internet page (in Settings app > Network & Internet > Internet) has a button in the upper right corner labeled "Fix connectivity," which does some sort of soft reset of wifi and mobile data. (It's unclear whether this is equivalent to toggling Airplane Mode on and off, or whether it also clears some cached network values.) Is there a way to trigger this functionality programmatically, e.g. via Tasker, shell command, or intent? enter image description here

Want to purge all .nomedia files on my phone
It is a flaw in my opinion that Google Photos backup to Drive won't pick up items in folders with a .nomedia file in them. For example, WhatsApp sent images or videos.

/ -name .nomedia -type f -delete
I've tried to set up a daily run job executing this command using Tasker, but I simply cannot get it to work.

I had imported a *Profile* in Tasker that sorts the files in my Download folder based on the file extension. But there's a file from Network Monitor Pro's export and Google Files app doesn't show any file extension for it. Solid Explorer on Android says it's 'text/plain' Tried putting the file on my Windows computer and it displays the file type as 'FILE' for it. So which file extension does it have so that Tasker can match it up?

Tasker: Ping notification on shared calender new event

I'm trying to get a profile that triggers whenever my samsung calendar app detects a new event has been added to a shared calendar. The shared cal is an icloud calendar that is being synced by the 'Sync for icloud' app. I expect this app just periodically updates the CalDev calendar feed to my samsung calendar app, so the task would need to detect when this happens, compare the old calendar to the new one and then notify me of the changes. I could write this in C but I have no experience writing in tasker. Ideally it would ping a notification of the event title and description. I'm very new to tasker so am completely in the dark about how to set this up. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I am absolutely 100% new to Tasker. I have bought and installed this app to automate a few things which IFTTT simply can't. Here is the situation: My bedroom is in a basement apartment and so I do not get good cell service reception at all while I'm down there, and since it doubles as my office space (on days I work from home) and my gaming area, I tend to spend a decent amount of my time in my room. This being said, I have an LG V30 ThinQ with Android 8.x Oreo and my current service provider offers a Wi-Fi Calling service. Naturally, I turned it on, and bingo... calls are now crisp and text messages sent without a hitch. Well... that's at home at least. However, at my work, the opposite is true: The Wi-Fi is bad, but the cell service reception is always super strong. Yes, my phone does have a setting to use Wi-Fi calling as a second priority to my cell service (meaning that it will use my cell service before using the Wi-Fi Calling) but instead of switching intelligently based on the strength of the cell service reception strength, it only switches to Wi-Fi Calling once I stop having cell service reception period. Which doesn't work well in the basement, since sometimes I get just enough signal to toggle it back to the bad cell service for calling. **So, I would like to create a task with Tasker that**, once connected to/disconnected from my home network, would allow either the Wi-Fi Calling to be toggled; or for the airplane mode to be toggled. That way, as long as I'm connected to my home network, my phone will be using the Wi-Fi calling capabilities, without having to toggle them on and off again manually. The problem is since I'm new to this, I don't know the first thing about programming a task in this version of Tasker. All tutorials I came across were very little help. Could somebody work me through setting up something along those lines?

Can I change my wallpaper based on a specific calendar event?
I want my phone to very visibly show when I'm on call. I have my on-call schedule in my calendar. I'd like to have my wallpaper change when I'm on call. I've never used Tasker before, it sounds like it might be able to do this? If so how? Also open to other ideas.

A follow up to this question or another related . I am currently testing something related to file syncing, and I need to start an application/activity of an application installed in the secondary userspace. I want to launch that application/activity whilst I'm in the primary space (primary user) on demand. I thought Tasker could achieve this but am not sure how. I am somehow currently stuck, anyone who knows how to achieve this? Something like: am start -n packagename/.activityname but for the secondary user.

I would like a Tasker app that allows me to take a photo, provide a text note like a caption, and then stores both the photo and caption in a note app like Keep, Evernote, or Onenote. So far, I have a Tasker task with 3 actions: Variable Set (for the photo's filename), Take Photo (which takes the photo and sets the photo's filename), and Variable Query (for the caption). The issue I run into is getting the photo and caption into a note app. Is this done with the intent or share action? Can I get both the photo and text to be stored at the same time? Thanks.
