Tasker Can Now Be Your Personal HTTP Server!

Full Video Walkthrough: https://youtu.be/0R9Go6tJqKY

Tasker has 2 important new features:

• HTTP Request Event
• HTTP Response Action

With just these, a whole new world of remote Tasker opens up! 😮

For example, you can create a simple profile that allows you to get the value of a Tasker variable from any other device, including devices with Tasker of course!

Or you could go all out and create a whole remote control UI for your device that's accessible for everyone on your network!

To exemplify this I've created this project: https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8ne7oO4s%2BaDx%2FwlzjdFTfVMWstg1ay5AkpiNdrLoSXEZdFfw1IpXiyJCVLNW0yn&id=Project%3AHttp+Server+Example

It contains a web page that you can open (the web page itself is hosted by Tasker) and it shows a plethora of use cases where you can do stuff like:

• show toasts on your device
• Say "Hello" out loud
• Write some text on your phone from the web page
• View images and videos stored on your device from the page
• Upload files from the page to the phone
• Open files directly on your phone
• Show or download a screenshot of your phone on the page
• Get the value of a Tasker variable and show it on the page
• Open your phone's location from the page
• Open an app by name on your phone
• Control the media playing on your phone
• Get the name of the media playing on your phone and show it on the page

You can take a look at how these examples are done so you understand how this works and are able to adapt them for your own use cases.

And, of course, these are just a few examples of what you could do with this. Your imagination is really your limit here! 😆

I can't wait to see what you can do with this so please do experiment and let me know how it works for you!

Fixing an Old Bug (hopefully?)

There's also a potentially very important fix included in this release: in some rare circumstances actions in a Task were hanging indefinitely and would never continue running. I'm happy to say I've fixed this issue now! If you have ever experienced this, please let me know if you still do with this version!

A Few Other Notable Changes (Already in Production)

I didn't mention these here yet, so I thought I would now:

• Added %tasker_current_action_number local variable to running tasks so you can know which number the task is on at any time
• Added ID field to the Flash action when using Tasker Layout so that you can control which toasts overwrite each other
• Made the delay when showing toasts with the Tasker Layout option shorter
• Fixed bug with App Factory where nothing would show up after the app was generated making it seem like the process was stuck

Full Changelog

• Added "HTTP Request" event and "HTTP Response" action. Tasker can now be a web server!
• Fixed long-running issue where sometimes, in certain situations, some actions could get stuck indefinitely
• Fixed issue with license checking in certain situations
• Fixed issue where App Factory apps wouldn't include icons used in custom Tasker flash actions
• Tried fixing issue where scanning NFC tags in certain situations could result in Tasker crashing

As always, enjoy!! 😎

⚙No repetitive tasks for you, let your Android device handle it!⚙ Total Automation, From Settings to SMS.

Here are only some of the things you could do with Tasker. Its real power is the flexibility to combine contexts and tasks however you wish: tasker.joaoapps.com/exampleuses.html

☑ Automations
Make your phone a true smart phone! Why remember to change the volume every day when you leave home when your phone can do it for you?
Automate stuff based on the app you're in, the time of day, your location, your Wi-Fi network, Received SMS or Calls, the currently playing song and many other (130+) states and events!
Check out how easy it is to create an automation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6EAbLW5WSk

☑ Actions
350+ actions allow you to truly customize your phone like never before! Send SMS, create notifications, change almost any system setting like Wifi Tether, Dark Mode, Always On Display, change any volume, control Do Not Disturb, open apps, file manipulation, control music playback, get your location... you get the idea. If you can think of it, Tasker can probably do it for you!
Note: root is NOT (I repeat NOT) required for majority of the functions. However, a few of the actions (like the Airplane Mode action and the Mobile Data action on some devices) require root. This is because of Android security policies that developers cannot work around.

☑ Automatic File Backups
If you set it up to do so, Tasker can automatically backup your files to a specific folder on the device, SD card, USB key or even Google Drive! This is useful if you want to keep your files safe even if you lose your phone.

☑ Download and Install APKs directly
By your request (if you set up a task to do so), Tasker can automatically check a website for updated APKs, receive those APKs from said websites and initiate installation of any files!

☑ Other Triggers
Manually trigger your actions via launcher shortcuts, quick setting tiles, widgets, long-pressing volume buttons, media buttons (like the ones on your BT headsets or headphones), Bixby button, Navigation Bar, Notifications and more!

☑ Join - Remote Tasker
Adding Join (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.join) to the mix will even allow you to trigger tasks from another Android device or PC!

☑ Scenes
Design your own UI and use it to display any info you want or trigger any task!

☑ App Creation
Create your own standalone apps to share or sell with the Tasker App Factory : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory

☑ Developer Friendly
Many 3rd party developers already allow you to perform actions in their apps and listen to their events/states through Tasker!
Check out some of them: tasker.joaoapps.com/pluginlist.html
You can also call most of the Web APIs from Tasker with the powerful HTTP Auth and HTTP Request actions! Check out an example Video of HTTP Auth and Request: youtu.be/yAt2D1XmgUI.

It's not possible to fix problems reported via Play Store Comments so please use the "Report Issue To Developer" option in the app > Menu to do so.

Note 1: Tasker uses the BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN permission in order to provide the System Lock functionality

Note 2: Tasker uses an accessibility service for some of its features like closing the notification tray, checking which app is currently opened and more.
