New Tasker UI (Continued)

Demo Video:

Important: to enable this you have to do it in Tasker > Preferences > UI> Use Tasker 2024 UI. You can switch back and forth if you want!

I’ve continued updating the new Tasker UI.

If you want to check out the new stuff, you can take a look at this example task that exemplifies If blocks, If Blocks nesting, labels (with colors) and how you can use the compact mode to easily look at your overall task flow.

  • Expanded mode:
  • Compact Mode:
  • Action Menu:

Obviously things are not finished and there’s still a long way to go, but you can now more or less build a task using the new Edit Task UI, which is a good start :)

Keep in mind that all visual aspects are a WIP and can be changed at any time, but I hope the task editing flow will be something like what is available in this version.

I have only worked in the Task Editing screen itself so far, so editing actions still uses the old UI.

I hope I can minimize the amount of taps you need to do to edit an action in the future and hopefully will even be able to create an UI where you edit an action on the Task Edit screen itself without the need for a completely separate screen!

Let me know what you think so far!

New Device Owner Actions

Demo:

You can now completely uninstall an app with the Device Admin/Owner action as well as revoke or grant permissions to any app on your device.

Other Stuff

I fixed a long standing issue that made some actions not finish running if certain other actions were running at the same time. Hopefully this will “unstick” some of your more niche tasks 😅

I also “trimmed some fat” in some old Tasker code to hopefully make starting up Tasker a bit quicker
