#Tasker Repository This is a collection of tasker projects, profiles, tasks and scenes built by Curtis Olson. I've borrowed heavily from other tasker zealots and as much as possible, I will credit those people.
I find scenes painful to develop, so they are either really ugly or stolen from someone else.
Feel free to copy, use, modify for any reason.
This containts all the tasks I've set up to use while driving. I use CarHomeUltra to create a (mostly) hands-free interface.
Not included in this project is a context manager which runns different tasks depending on if I'm at home, work, driving or unknown.
###Prerequisites Apps and plugins used in this project.:
- Audible: Audio book app
- AutoInput: Tasker plugin
- AutoContacts: Tasker lugin
- CarHomeUltra: Car dock app
- PocketCasts: Podcast app
- Slacker: Streaming music app
##Tasks ###Audible Play Using an input paramater, play any audio book downloaded on the phone. Since Audible doesn't have a way to play a book using an intent, I use Autoinput to simulate input events to navigate and play. Task accepts an input paramater for the name of the audio book.
###Audible XXXXX Where XXXX is the title of the audiobook. Tasks simply call the "Audible Play" task and pass in a book title.
###Call Queue Task which displays a menu of contacts that I want to call from the car. The idea is to add phone calls which can easily be made while driving.
This task will show a scene with a lit of contacts with nickname "Call Queue". If you select one of the contacts, their phone number will be dialed and a large scene with the info from the website field will be shown. There is a note field in contacts, but AutoContacts doesn't (yet) return that field. I put notes in there that I may need during the call, like account number.
Be aware that AutoContacts imports a copy of your contacts, so a refresh will need to happen for a new caller to be added to this list.
###PocketsCasts Play Playlist Using an input paramater, play an entire playlist.
###PocketsCasts Play Podcast Using an input paramater, play any podcast. This task picks the first episode available for play if there are multiple.
###PocketCasts XXXXXXX Since step task that just call Play Playlist or Play Podcast and pass in a name to be played.
###PocketCasts Mark As Played Marks a playing podcast as played and deleted it. This is used if I start a podcast but decide it stinks and want to move one.
###Slacker Play Station Using an input paramater, play any Slacker station you have alrßeady added to your music list. I use Slacker Free which has a lot of interuptions and pop-ups. I may have to add more AutoInput UI Query to handle different interruptions.
Since step task that just call Slacker Play Station and pass in a name to be played.
