![]() ![]() I mentioned there are three ways of sending a notification, and that leaves the last one: by using an intent. Gtalk message contain both sender and message, so for those I just Flash %NTITLE by itself. With Gmail on Jelly Bean, the notification title contains the email sender, so I forward this by using a Flash action with the message “New email from %NTITLE”. Tasker has a built-in variable %NTITLE that will contain the title of the last system notification (assuming Tasker has been given accessibility access), and I can then use this to forward at least the title of the notification. Both of these work the same way, namely by having separate profiles with two contexts: one for %Liveview matching 1, and one event context for a notification with the respective owner application. I also use this to warn me of incoming emails and Google Talk messages. Since this uses the Flash action, no notifications are left behind on the phone. ![]() If I do the same with the watch, however, it keeps quiet, but notifies me via the watch, which then vibrates and shows the message. The way this works in practice is that if I leave my house with items in my shopping list, but without the watch, it still warns me with the Say actions. This is simply done by making the existing Say action dependent on %Liveview matching 0, and adding a Flash action with the list contents that is dependent on %Liveview matching 1. I changed this so that now, when the LiveView is connected, it instead sends the list to the watch, instead of the audible warning. Up until now, this has used an audible warning of “You have items in your shopping list” (using the Say action) to warn me if I have anything in the list, with the actual list contents being put on the lock screen. This allows me to make dynamic tasks down to action level based on whether or not the LiveView is available.įor instance, I have a task that is part of my custom Tasker-based todo list app, which checks for items in my shopping list when the Outside profile is activated. First off, I have a profile that sets the variable %Liveview to 1 when the phone is connected to the LiveView (there’s a context for Bluetooth connections), with an exit task that puts it back to 0. ![]() I’ve set up several profiles and tasks based on this. I however prefer to use the Flash action, which sends a toast rather than a notification, meaning that you won’t have any lingering notifications on your device but the watch will still treat it as a notification. The most obvious is to just use Tasker’s Notify actions to create a notification, which will then get through the filter. With that in order, there are three ways you can make a notification appear on the LiveView. Note that you need to have enabled Accessibility mode for OLV. Now you’ve set up OLV to only allow Tasker toasts and notifications through. Then, it the + sign, let it build the app list, and find Tasker. Hit the Menu button on your device, Select Set Filter Mode, and set it to Whitelist Mode. To do this, go into OpenLiveView, Notifications, and then click Filter Settings. Essentially I’ve set up OpenLiveView to only allow Tasker toasts and notifications through the filter, which means that I have every tool in Tasker available to custom make those notifications- based on notifications from other apps if I want. As you probably know, Tasker can send both notifications and toasts, and therein lies a ton of potential.Īfter trying a few different things, I found a setup that works brilliantly. This means that any toasts (flash messages on the screen) or notifications that the phone gets will be forwarded, with the ability to filter based on message content and apps. The most important feature (in my opinion) is the ability to forward system notifications to the watch. It doesn’t support stock (or any) plugins (yet), but what it does do is give you some very basic features that actually work on your LiveView. It completely replaces Sony Ericsson’s control app, rather than act as a plugin for it. Aside from being compatible with smartwatches in general, an open source project to create a completely new back end app has resulted in OpenLiveView being available on Google Play. Now I’m on a custom 4.1.2 ROM, and one with a completely different Bluetooth stack. LiveIn - LivePic Widget - FULL OVERVIEW & HOW TO USE ![]()
