if you’ll remember, we have already set %ret to be a line break in step 1. then join() is used to concatenate these pieces back into one string, but with %ret in between them now. first, the split() is used to get rid of the commas that Tasker automatically adds to the %PACTIVE list and split the string into pieces.

So to proceed, a new local variable called %newlines is created to format the %PACTIVE data stored in globalpac. instead, we’ll have to stick with local variables, then explicitly set it to the global variable with Variable Set (step 3). however, this does not seem to be the case within a JavaScriptlet. it also means usually we can set global variables simply by throwing a capital anywhere in the name. This means that in this example, the new local variable %globalpac is now equal to the value of the global variable %PACTIVE. However, to access built-in global variables, you do need to wrap them with global(). Now, what’s going on here? when you’re using variables in a Tasker JavaScriptlet, you don’t need to prefix the name with %. Var newlines = globalpac.split(",").join(ret) in the “Code” section, type this (keeping case sensitivity):

so we’re going to make it better.start by adding some javascript by going to Code > JavaScriptlet. “,Profile1,Profile2,Profile3,ProfileYouGetThePoint,”. this is very ugly and hard to read and has commas on each end (i.e. %PACTIVE holds your Active Profile names as string of comma separated values.

i like to call this the “de-uglify” step.

to have the variable set as a line break, tap on the text area in the “To” section and hit the return / enter key on your phone’s keyboard. we’ll want to use this to replace the commas so that our list is nicer and easier to read at a glance. since i used a lowercase naming convention, this variable will be locally stored within this Task (and therefore will not show up in the Vars tab).

add a Variable Set (Variables > Variable Set) to store the line break / enter that we’ll want to add later.

this will come up later.Ĭlick the ‘+’ icon on the bottom right to add a new Task, and name it something (if you want to keep track of it i’d name it something along the lines of “Active Profiles”).Īll numbers below correspond to the numbers in the task window: the finished Task Edit screen they also put commas at the beginning and end of this string “to make matching easier”. It is important to note that when Tasker Profiles become Active (in use and lit up green within the app UI itself), Tasker stores a comma separated list (a string, not an array) of all of the Active Profiles in its built in global variable %PACTIVE. there is also this handy tutorial if you’ve never worked with Minimalistic Text-Tasker integration before. I’m going to assume that those reading this have at least made one very simple profile in Tasker already ( maybe try this first if you haven’t).

but since Zooper is $2.99 and i’ve already indirectly mentioned that i’m a fan of free apps, i wanted to see if i could do this with Minimalistic Text instead. Why yes, i have been googling that for hours, thanks for checking. Some of you might be reading this and thinking “but wait, doesn’t Zooper do something like this with Tasker integration?” you may also be wondering why on earth i’m still using BBM, but i’m going to ignore that for now.

If you haven’t already guessed, i’m going to provide a short tutorial of how to get the “Active Profiles” custom widget seen in the screenshot. I’m still new at this, but today i figured out how to display something pretty nicely and i couldn’t find the instructions on almighty google, so i’m sharing: how to make an at least semi nice looking active profiles display widgetįun fact: i just got cyanogenmod 12.1 the other day so i had to google “how to take a screenshot on cyanogenmod 12” to get this image i was instantly enthralled, to say the least.ĭownloaded the #tasker #android app today was so engrossed automating new tasks that i almost forgot to eat dinner

What warranted the opulent purchase of $3.99, you ask? Tasker, the android automation app that apparently lets you automate just about everything on your phone. (some would say i’m cheap, but i prefer frugal) So a few days ago i actually purchased an app.
