Help with task

[Edi Itelman]

Hey,
I would like to make a task that at some point in the evening (lets say 8) scans my calendar 24h forward and sets an alarm clock 1 hour before my next appointment.

ideas?

thanks,
Edi

If you're using Google calendar, this would be much easier to accomplish without Tasker: simply change your Google calendar settings to automatically add a popup reminder one hour before all events.

I think what the OP wants is the phone to bother him only if he's going to be busy at some point the day after.

If it was to set an alarm in the morning, I would guess the OP wants to stay in bed if doesn't have anything to do that day. But since the alarm is for the evening before, perhaps our friend just wants the phone to tell him if he's allowed to go out and get ruined.

Edi, am I getting somewhere there?

By the way, I have no idea how to do that. Yet?

well, you sort of are.

im working shifts and some of them start in 7 am, others at 3pm, and the night one starts at 11 pm.
also sometimes when i work an evening shift i do errands in the morning and have a doctor or a bank appointment. so i just want my phone to automatically set an alarm by the meeting i have after 8 pm in the evening.

just because im that lazy....

any ideas?

thank a lot by the way

Getting list of calendar appointments has been discussed on the Google Tasker forums. There are three approaches mentioned, none of them look easy:

1 - Using http get actions to access Google Calendar
Beginner's guide to Tasker, part 4: Variable data processing - Pocketables

2 - Using Tasker's test command to see if there is an appointment at a specific time, then another specific time.. loop through the day in a reasonable interval and organize the results. Thread titled "Display Calendar for tomorrow". Not sure if the link will work:

3 - Use SQLite (requires rooted phone). Probably the most elegant but that SQLite looks scary. Thread titled "Get calendar events using Sqlite - pleased with myself". Not sure if link will work.
