[Q] Calendar event actions (Call John etc.) - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Is there an app or a tweak that could grant me a set of actions to include in calendar event?
The example: The reminder "Call John" pops up. What I obviously want to do next is to call John, right? SO is there a way to do that in the event reminder? Similar actions would include "run app", "text someone" and so on.
My 1999 Ericsson was able to do that. No way that the modern smartphone is unable to match it.

No idea about the tweak but i use an app called Life reminder that does exactly wht you are looking for. You may wanna give it a try...
Hope this helps

Would love to see an app that could allow the following in the gmail app...
Long press

Anyone know of an app or someone have the skills to do it
I know you can't even do it from the desktop client so might be wishful thinking!
Anyone think its a good idea?

[APP] Calendar Events Notifier

Remember when you did not get to that important meeting because you did not hear the reminder that you had planned?
In the real life if you are not near to the phone when a reminder becomes active, you will forgot it and their consequences can be unpredictable.
This app provides recurring reminders to the calendar events and fully solves the issue.
HOW IT WORKS
When a calendar reminder is triggered by the system a message is sent. This app captures the message and starts their work...
With this app you can configure the sound, vibration type and their pattern, led color, repeat interval and much more for the alerts in your Google calendars.
Also you can configure how a reminder stops: when manually stops, when the event starts or when the event ends.
Regular users can configure global settings, that are active for all the calendars, but PRO users can configure these options locally for each calendar.
WEAR
The app is fully compatible with Android wear. You can dismiss/snooze your alerts without removing the phone from the pocket.
Also, you can set the vibration pattern for the wear notifications.
PERMISSIONS
Read & Write calendar: Is the main goal of the app
Receive boot completed: To restart alerts after boot
Vibrate: Required to vibrate
Internet, access network state: Required by Ads and to download the user profile pictures
Billing, get accounts: To manage the PRO key
Read phone state: In order to delay notifications while in call (if configured)

Hi,
The app only shows event instances that has a alarm.
Also, by default the window interval is set to 3 days (you can change it at settings).
Have you any event that has a alarm in this interval?
Thanks
Oh okay. I didn't use alarms... Wanted to use alarms on my smartphone, but not on desktop and so on... What a pitty...
Another question: Did it replaces the native calendar notification/alarm or get I two notifications at the same time (Google Calendar and CEN)?

Sorry, but app is a alert reminder.
useless unless you use them
On Symbian, calendar events reminders weres ALARMS and not just a notification sound. Thank you for bringing this on Android.
Only on suggestion, could you add the possibility to control the service from Tasker ? Point is to be able to disable/enable it from Tasker.
Best regards, Magissia

Thanks!
The app looks great, but can we please have the source code?

Sorry, but this isn't possible.
If you have a particular question I can try to answer it, of course.
Please add an option to choose those events that need to be repeatedly alerted rather than all events..

sorry, can you explain a bit more?
the user can select those specific events that need to be alerted before an hour like that .. but whats happening now is that its applicable to all events in a calender those have alerts..

The app distinguishes between 2 alert types:
1) The calendar calendar-provider alerts, that are triggered by the system. I don't interfere with this alerts until the system activates it and needs to be modified using your preferred calendar app (this app is a calendar notifier, not a full calendar app).
2) The app calendar alerts. A calendar-provider app becomes of this type just when it is activated by the system. To these alerts I apply the calendar specific configurations and I activate recurrently until manually dismissed (or the event starts or ends, depending of your configuration).
In the TO-DO list I have 2 tasks:
a) Ability to set dormancy period for all the days (e.g. at the nights)
b) Ability to set specific dormancy periods (e.g. don't disturb for 2 hours from now)
In the two cases, the alarms will automatic delayed until period end when triggered.
Is this your request?
Thanks (and sorry for my english)

its a pretty cool idea.. my suggestion is can you modify it Event specific..
i have set calender reminders for TV shows and personal events, here i need to be alerted once for those TV shows and even i missed it with the calender alerts it doesn't matter..
But for personal events like Wedding, Birthday Party i can't miss it,where i need the repeated alerts to work..
So the configuration should be like where the user can set what is important and need more attention

[Q] Google Now won't remind me.

So when i use command like "Remind me to X at Y o' clock" it shows me the reminder with correct time and date and asks me if i want to save it, wich i reply yes and Google Now saves reminder.
But when the time comes it won't remind me at all.
When i use "Show me reminders" command, all the old reminders are ther. What's wrong?

[Xposed][Tasker][Evernote] Trying to "Google Now" a reminder to Evernote, stuck

[Xposed][Tasker][Evernote] Trying to "Google Now" a reminder to Evernote, stuck
As my first semi-serious project to learn AutoVoice, AutoInput, Tasker, Google Now, and so on, I decided to work on something I've been looking for but can't find: "Google Now" a reminder into Evernote's Reminder, rather than the GN reminder.
What I want to accomplish is "Google Now", "Remind Evernote This is a test reminder", then Evernote add a new reminder with the text (no title) "This is a test reminder" and no due date/time.
(I know you can do "note to self", but I want it to appear in Evernote Reminders, not just a regular text note. )
I got the trigger phrase to work ("remind evernote")
However, I got stuck trying to input the text as a reminder.
Approach 1)
Under "task" I can only get to App / Launch App, not a specific activity.
Approach 2)
I thought I can launch app, then use AutoInput to click the PLUS button, then reminder, but repeated attempts at using the easy-config kept taking me to the note behind the Add note button, not the button itself. I can't find the darn UI object to trigger.
Approach 3)
I thought about using an INTENT, however, looking at Evernote API, both at the Evernote Blog entry on Android Intents and the Github repo shows NO INTENT to add a reminder. Apparently a reminder is a regular note with three extra fields.
So right now, I'm a little stuck.
Question 1) How the BLEEP do I pop up the quick reminder dialog box like the widget
Question 2) If that's futile, how do I engage the Intent and add the reminder directly via the API?
Question 3) (Assuming Q1 or Q2 can be done), how do I retrieve the rest of the spoken text to be stuffed into the reminder input?
and way in the future...
Question 4) Will it be possible to have a GN card with state, like you can only say 'send message to John', and GN will prompt you back "what is the message?" I'd like it to ask "what is the reminder" if you just say "remind evernote" with no further input.
Did you try 'secure settings' app to get to the reminder activity of Evernote?
Something like this in response to your autovoice commnd trigger: Tasker Task > Secure settings > Launch Activity > Select Evernote > scroll down and select quick reminder activity
Ended up using 3 plugins: AutoVoice, AutoInput, and AutoShortCut, in addition to Tasker.
Evernote was absolutely ZERO help in programming this. Here's the final result posted on /r/tasker

Need assistance linking words

I need help. I want to assign commands to certain words. For example if I want to set a reminder to CALL my brother or TEXT my brother I want a link to the words so it will call right there instead of coming out the app going to my app drawer and finding the call or text app. Can someone help me.
I'd check out Tasker, in you have not already. There are thousands of scripts written for it, or roll your own.

So, basically, you are looking for a shortcut creating app right?
