I'm currently using tasker app and trying to use it for driving safety.
I receive a lot of texts throughout the day. While driving, I would like a profile that pop-ups the text content like the iPhone pop-up but only when I'm driving.
I have an app called 'Car Mode' that when loaded it automatically sets speaker phone on all outgoing and incoming calls. This is ideal but would also would like the text pop-up to be initiated once I load/open this app.
I have the process down but cannot translated into tasker. Here:
Load 'car mode' widget
Once receive a text-trigger the pop-up profile to display the text content like the iPhone.
Anybody that can help would be awesome. Thank you.

I do use Tasker and don't see an obvious way to do it. Another option is Vlingo. It has a Safereader feature that will read out the sms on receipt. You could use tasker to launch it or have it start on bluetooth pairing. Free in the market. It also works for voice dialing. I'm on froyo but I don't know if it's needed for that since Vlingo seems to do everything.

This is not what you are looking for but there is a way to make tasker read your sms when in car mode :
http://lifehacker.com/5601133/push-...d-to-awesome-heights-with-these-tasker-setups
For the popups you may be able to set handcent as the default sms app when in car mode, that allows popup alerts like the iphone if i'm not mistaken.
Thanks Guys! I'll give these a try.
I imagine Tasker can handle text pop once it receives a sms. Actually Tasker supports a alert action 'pop up'. I just need to figure out how to enable it ONLY when Car Mode App is active and be turned off when is in-active.
Tasker is great but does have a learning curve....
Set a variable (%CARMODE) to 1 using an application context, have it set to 0 on app exit. Use an if condition to pop up texts (task on "Received SMS" event, if condition attached to the popup step in the actual task) only when the variable is 1.

Alright, lets show off some tasker profiles! Im always interested in ideas other have cooked up. I'll show you guys some stuff i came up with.
Hit thanks if you like it!
Ill start populating the post. I realize that tasker profiles are a royal pain in the butt to read, so im going to create some colapsable projects.
Ill also color code certain things and ill try to stay consistent..Ill try to add a project every day. So the first one will be my car project.
Tips:
To avoid confusion with all the collapse-ables, close the ones youre done reading.
Have Secure Settings installed, and swipe to the helper section and install helper
HAve autovoice, you gotta start using this at some point..its pretty awesome.
%PACTIVE is a variable that means "profiles active"
you can long press a profile and press the settings button on the top right and if you scroll down you can uncheck the "display in notification" if you dont want your tasker notification to be over-populated

CAR PROJECT
This project has a couple of tasks that do stuff that are related to the car. hence the name.. It does the following:
1: When you get in the car, the screen will stay on, and if it does somehow close, the keyguard will be disabled. This prevents too much fiddling with the phone...This is turned off when you get out.
2: Alters volume levels and brightness when getting in and out of the car.
3: Marks down what time you got out of the car, starts counting how long youve been out of your car, and takes the GPS coordinates of your location when you get out of the car.
The purpose of this is so youll always know when you got out of the car, how long you have been parked (in case of parking meters, parking hours etc..) and allows you to navigate to your car so youll never lose it after parking in some obscure location.
This is done with minimalistic text to display that info, and upon pressing it, will activate the task to navigate back to your car. Ill attach a screen shot.

6: turns wifi on, gps on, and you can add a bluetooth on if you want.

Swipe over to the MISC tab, and add a static text and a local variable. Theres a bug in Minimalistic text where if you add a bunch of local variables at once, itll make the values of them all the same..so youll have to add the things one at a time..pain in the butt i know.
so add a static text and a local variable. over and over till you have 4 local variables and 3 static texts.

WIFI PROJECT
These tasks will automate turning your wifi on and off based on locations you are at often. I.E. your house, your work, your buddies house, your girlfriends house, etc...
It works via the cell near state, however im not perfectly clear on how much battery this drains, so i took an extra precaution by having a %SEARCHWIFI variable, set to either 1, or 0, (on or off, respectively). This variable's value is easily changed in any profile, so its easy to avoid conflicting profiles, as well as saves battery by not continuously searching for cellphone towers.
What i do with this, is have a profile, Near Home for example, and when im in a new location i want to automatically connect to, i just clone it, change the name, re-search cellphone towers and voila! I have like 10 of these and it works perfectly. So ill only make a "Near Home" profile, then you can clone that.
I like to have a pattern lock when im out and about, but i dont like having one when im at a buddies house, or at my own house, so i have tasker deal with that. If you want this, first you have to set a pattern lock code. then this will take effect.

Voice commands in car to perform various responses to a received text, requested by oscar615
NOTE: autovoice recognize doesnt play well with pop-up sms windows...sometimes works, sometimes only works after you close the pop up.
oscar615 said:
Wow, your car code is almost what I was thinking about earlier today. About the only difference is when I get a text I would like it to give me 3 audible choices. 1- send a pre recorded text letting them know i am in the car. 2- Give me the option to do nothing and 3- the option to call the person who sent the text and have the phone set to speaker, and pause any music that is on. The problem is I am so new to tasker and really have no idea how to do this. I will study your code to see if I can learn what you did and maybe add the other options to it. I want it to all be voice responses and and prompts.
Do you have any idea what needs to be added to what you have created in order to get what I want?
Anyway great work. Thanks for doing this thread and posting your profiles.

With autovoice, if the command is "can't" you can say anything, and as long as "can't" is somewhere in the sentence, it will perform that action. unless you specified otherwise, but i wont get into that. If you say anything other than those, it will just close.

Tunein Radio request
SO this looked like a promising thread to ask this in, if it hasn't died already....
I would like to set a task to start tunein radio pro, then subtask different stations with commands like "tasker radio paradise", "tasker radio local 1", "tasker radio local 2", "tasker radio record"(to save the currently playing stream) "tasker radio stop record", etc.
Is it possible for tasker to take command of an app and have it do custom calls for app specific functions? I'm a newb dealing with tasker as I don't even own the app yet. However if I could confirm these types of commands work I'll bite in a heartbeat.

Ah.. that's disappointing. Was really hoping to have a setup where I could just tell it what station to play. I would assume the only way to do what I'd like would be to save the stream url's and have tasker open them with whatever app can play a stream directly?
As a side question, is there an app that can use the "draw over other apps" ability of android that can assume control and setup complex scripting of commands? Root would of course be a requirement but are there other limitations to android that would prevent such an app?

Yeah tasker does that, and it can do what you tried explaining earlier..although its a bit clunky.
You just tell tasker to do things through the input -> d-pad option while making your task. You can also emulate swipes and touches through a shell command called input. Heres the link explaining how, its quite simple..

Although I did not understand, but thank you for sharing. :good:

Voice commands in car to perform various responses to a received text, requested by oscar615
NOTE: autovoice recognize doesnt play well with pop-up sms windows...sometimes works, sometimes only works after you close the pop up.
Profile: Driving Text
context:
event -> received text any
state -> variable value - %PACTIVE ~ *car mode* (or whatever profile you have for your car)
task:
silent mode on
misc -> say -> Text received by %SMSRN. What should i do?
wait 150ms
plugin -> autovoice recognize
silent mode off
Profile: Cant talk
context:
autovoice recognized -> check event behavior -> command = can't
state -> variable value - %PACTIVE ~ *car mode*
task:
phone -> send sms -> number: %SMSRF, Message: Sorry, im driving, cant talk right now, check 'store in messaging app'
profile: call back
context: plugin -> autovoice recognized, check event behavior, command = call
state -> variable value - %PACTIVE ~ *car mode*
task:
call -> number: %SMSRF, check auto dial
With autovoice, if the command is "can't" you can say anything, and as long as "can't" is somewhere in the sentence, it will perform that action. unless you specified otherwise, but i wont get into that. If you say anything other than those, it will just close.
end oscar's request

Hi, Could I request a tasker profile?
I read that you can kinda export to an app; and that´s what i´m looking

need your help to complete a task i created, i need to send my gps coordinates to any number as a message and to my Email.
what i have done so far is :
mobile data on
secure settings gps enabled
get location
-----------------------------------------How do i send the captured gps location to a number and my email?
secure settings gps disabled
in addition to the above if there is a way to keep sending the updated coordinates that would be fabulous, this is for tracing the device if it is lost or stolen.

I made a PROJECT with both of your requests, that means you import it long pressing the home icon on the bottom left of tasker and press import, then navigate where you saved this xml

Bro, I really appreciate your efforts to make this but I honestly must say that I don´t know where or how to use this project. Sorry sorry sorry
I don´t have tasker, neither the demo version; so my question is:
Is there a way to export this project as an apk? Or could i make this work with any free app?
Don´t give up on me hahahaha :fingers-crossed:
Buy Tasker. It's two trips to the vending machine. If you can afford a smart phone and the bill to go with it then support the people that make the apps.

Even if I were to export it as an app, you would still need tasker installed for the app to work
Aside from that, tasker is the most amazing app ever created bar none, by far. It's a huge reason android is king. I really recommend you get it and tinker with it on your free time.
