[Q] HTTP GET request via Llama w/o opening browser

Hello,
I'd like to figure out a way to use Llama to send an HTTP GET request to my home automation system. In particular I wish to turn the power to the charger on and off based on battery percent as this tablet will be mounted on a wall. Since Llama seems to require opening of the browser to do this, I'm assuming this would require another app. My question is, does one exist? I just want a shortcut that will execute a HTTP request in a completely invisible fasion. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have the same request. Do you find a solution?

Yes. I wrote my own little app that will create shortcuts. It's not in the Play store but I could try to send it to you if you'd like.

I find a solution with the app Tasker. This app could send an Http request but i have other issue. The better way will be to make my own app. If you could send me your version, it will be a great help for starting.

I just sent you an email with the apk attached. I just downloaded the Tasker trial and wasn't super impressed. Perhaps if it were free I would've made use of it but I enjoyed the opportunity to learn a little about Android development. What was your issues with Tasker?
Let me know if my app works for you.

Hello !
I'm also looking for a similar solution.
I use Llama and I need to update my Android GPS location through a HTTP POST.
I really don't want to use tasker... Do you have clues for me ? I'm able if needed to create an APK.
Thanks !

The little app I wrote is only designed to make a static HTTP request. In other words, it won't be able to read any Llama variables or anything like that. However, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to modify the app to support what you're looking to do. I could send you the source code privately if you promise to send me back your changes.

@mrceolla Could you send me the app and source code. I shall send back any changes I do.

[Q] Profile Scheduler+ Profile Help

Hi,
I am trying to configure a profile in Profile Scheduler+ to disable Wi-Fi whenever I am not near a HotSpot. Does anyone know how I can set this, i.e. specific instructions? I have a profile setup, but it seems I have to manually activate it, I can't get the logic of the rule quite right.
Any help/pointers/instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, If you can recommend a better app, if you think this one is lacking, that would be helpful too. I know about Tasker, but I find the interface quite daunting :S
Cheers
Darren

I'm not familiar with this app, can you share your profile setup?

Show ONLY LED light, NO notification

Hello guys!
It would be so nice if you can help me out here...
What I want:
I would like a specific app to show ONLY LED light when receiving notifications. I don't want the app(notifications) to appear at lockscreen, in status bar or whatever.
Is there any solution to turn only LED notifications on for one app?

I think so. Try to intercept the notification using AutoNotification or Notification Listener, then create your own generic Led Notify notification.

Try intercepting the notifications with the 'Tasker' application with the 'autonotification' plugin

I thought this was in the Tasker section.
Anyway, @outis151 has in mind what I had.
You would need two things, the app "Tasker" and the plugin "AutoNotification". If you are not familiar, the Tasker app has a steep learning curve but adds a lot of functionality to the phone. AutoNotification is a plugin for Tasker that allows you to handle notifications.
What you would do:
Create a profile that triggers when you receive a notification from your specified application.
Then you assign a task to that that contains the following actions:
1. Dismiss/cancel notification and also make it prevent sounding
2. You start an action called Notify Led to flash your led.
3. Set a variable to true when message received
Then you need one more profile, that when the above variable is true and when the specified app is started, then you trigger notify cancel (to cancel the led, assuming that when you open that app you see the notification).
Hope this explains it a bit more. Sorry, I assumed you had some knowledge before.
Both Tasker and AutoNotification have their evaluation period, so you could try it out. I'd be happy to help you build it up and send you some files, but you'd need to see some tutorials to understand what the apps are and what they do.
If you need any more info, feel free to ask.

Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate that!
I'm totally new to tasker, not a little bit of knowledge here...
But I'll give it a try tomorrow!

Active apps manager

Hi everyone!
Exist a app to work as app manager or profile manager and create profiles based on usage?
Example: I like edit videos on my S8+ during this process I not like have any other app open or running in the background. I would like have a app that when I select the "video edition" profile kill all other apps and prevent that this apps running until I change again to the "normal" profile. With this I know that all the resources are available for the video editor app.
Some ideas?
Thanks!
PS- Better for non rooted devices

Interesting idea. I haven't heard of one, but I'd imagine that you could do up a Tasker script for each 'profile' you'd like.

Thanks! sorry, but how I can do that?

and there are many more posts, all across the internet. Tasker is a pretty unique and powerful scripting app.

Debug android notifications of third party app & get link? is it even possible?

I have this pokemon app which sents me a notification with a link to a newly unlocked gym every 3 hours and I want to catch the data of this notification and send it to my computer.
I have thought about this problem and what I came up with was that maybe it's possible to build an app that listens for notifications of other apps and writes them in a .log file which would be accessible to my computer if I used an emulator like bluestacks.
I'm really not sure what the best way to go about this is, or if it's even possible to get a link of an android notification out of the notification bar.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

anyone?

AutoNotification and Tasker should work, but they aren't free.
They do have a 7-day trial though, so you can test with that.

How exactly would they work to get me to my acquired goal?

You could probably make a tasker profile to trigger when a notification arrives and then send the contents of the notification to your PC

One idea to send the data from tasker to the PC is to use a flask server on the PC and an HTTP request in tasker. I'll make the code and a setup guide for you if you want.
