Hi,

I'm trying to open an artist's music list in Spotify and then use the Play button to start playback. Opening the list is easy using a browse URL, but I'm having trouble with media control.

When I select the Play button (simulated), Spotify starts playing the last song I was listening to before I closed Spotify, rather than starting playback from the artist's music list.

Am I missing something that would make this work as expected?

Most of the posts I've found here and on other websites are quite old, so I'm wondering if something has changed and there's a more modern solution.

Thanks!

I have this List Dialog action that I execute via a QS Tile, and it runs tasks based on selection.

Is it possible to customize it a little, like add an icon on the left of each item, change colors, etc?

There is a 'Use HTML' checkbox option in there, but enabling does nothing on its own. Can I use that somehow to customize the dialog?

So I made what I feel like is a goofy mistake.

I had a call I needed to make at a specific time yesterday, and I know my ADHD brain. I knew I was going to be distracted and forget to do it, or just put it off.

I made a profile that ran at that specific time yesterday to automatically call that number for me, and I'd set a separate alarm on my phone a minute before so I'd remember it was going to call and I'd have to deal with it. It worked perfectly, and I got everything taken care of.

Buuuuuuut, I forgot to go in and delete the profile when I was finished, so it called the number again today at the same time. Only this time? I wasn't anywhere around. Hell! I was actually sleeping.

So, now I'd like to know if there's a way to add an action to a task that tells it to delete the profile once the task has finished, in case I need anymore one-time automations.

I have a profile to change my time format on my phone to 24hour format when I get to work. It also turns the time back to 12hour format when I leave work. I can't seem to get my watch to update as well. I have all auto apps battery set to unrestricted. Not sure what I'm missing. Any help? Thanks in advance. (Please explain like I'm 5! 😉)

I have Samsung S25 Ultra phone and Samsung Galaxy watch ultra.

The code in this project were written with the assistance of AI tools. The code can be checked here. Tested in HyperOS3 (Android 16).

What does this project do ?

1. Monitor display events by using DisplayListener class. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/display/DisplayManager.DisplayListener
2. Surface the events via Tasker command system.
3. The current display information can be viewed via global variable %Display.

May require the latest version of beta (or Direct purchase) since Joao has condition for Command Event. It's not actually necessary but make things easier to define the profile.

It's still a little bit difficult to use though since I use full class path. But can be shortened with using *DisplayListener.onDisplayAdded* or *onDisplayAdded*

I will try to make it easier later if Joao were to introduce his concept of custom state, event and action mentioned here.

How do I create a numbered list for all my tasks that when I add a new task it will automatically update? I wanna try and do the same thing for my profiles as well.

1.Task 1

2.Task 2

3.Task 3

I payed for the fullversion, used for like 2 weeks and now it asks to pay again?

I thought it was permanent if im not mistaken

I'm using Tasker version 6.7.6-beta on my Nothing 2 devices running Android 13.

For reasons that I do not want to discuss nor argue about here, I sometimes send SMS messages to myself (i.e., from my own device to my own device's phone number).

Those text messages get properly delivered, and I indeed see them in my SMS client.

However, when I set up a Tasker profile which listens for a "Received Text" event, that event never gets triggered by these SMS messages from myself to myself, even though that same event does properly get triggered by all SMS messages sent to me from other sources.

In the "Received Text" event setup, I set "Type" equal to "Any", and I tried this both with "Sender" not set, and also when specifying "Any Contact" for "Sender", which results in the text "C:ANY" appearing in the "Sender" field. Neither of these cases change the behavior of texts sent from me to myself not triggering that "Received Text" event, even though in all those cases, the message indeed gets properly delivered and shown in my SMS client.

Is there any way to configure Tasker so that these SMS messages from me to myself will indeed trigger "Received Text" events?

Or am I totally out of luck?

PS: This is not an "XY" issue, and there is only one, single thing I wish to discuss here: namely, whether or not there's a way to get SMS messages from me to myself to trigger a "Received Text" event in a Tasker profile.

Thank you very much.
