List of intents

[Thom]

Is there a good listing of intents that are available through Tasker without add-ons?

One that comes to mind ...
Open the Developer Options window.

Another ...
Launch ABC with parameter DEF where ABC is a Tasker Task and DEF is a parameter passed to ABC.

Not sure if this is what you're after - Tasker: Intents

Thanks but I was looking for a list of entries that people had found interesting.

Thanks. This is an interesting app. I just bought the Pro version. I don't see how I would find either og the entries I noted. It would help in finding major App and Task entry.

In that app, go to whatever app you are looking for intents for, and click on the "Android Manifest" button. In there you will find all of the intents that app accepts.

For your second question, there is a "Perform Task" action in Tasker, that lets you send parameters to the task being called. In the user guide there are directions on how to run a task with shell commands as well.

To get me off the dime ... to find the "Developer options" where would you suggest I look?

For passing parameters to an app ... they accepted my suggestion and in theory it is being added to Load App. (Sorry I brought it up.)

I don't get what you mean for the first one.

For the Load App thing, there is a "Data" field you can use. Like if your loading Chrome, and put a URL in the data field, it will load up to that webpage.

There were two subjects.

First.

Finding a list of useful intents and is there an intent to invoke "{} Developer options". You recommend an app. My question is ... how find the example intent using the app you recommended.

Second.

Passing data from one Task to another Task. I was trying to do it with Load App and it is not supported on the loaded app side. I finally found Perform Task and it does exactly what I want even when the tasks are converted to Apps.

I'm assuming you mean the Developer tab in the settings menu. Look in the android manifest of the settings.apk in that app. It will be in there if its possible

 

[Thom]

When I attempt to access the manifests it gives a program check. I sent in the reports.

You can decompile the app on your computer to get to the manifest file. I use "APKTool" for this.
