version 6.0 does not work

[Clifford-Yen]

Hi there,

Thanks for this great app, it really helps me a lot. However, the recent update (6.0, downloaded from Google Play) seems not work on my machine, which is a Galaxy S7 with Exynos SoC. I tried "input keyevent POWER" or "svc data disable", but none of these work. I also tried to print the error message, but it is undefined, which can confirm the command executes successfully with nothing done.

Another problem I want to mention is I cannot scroll on the editing screen, so I have no idea what's below the Advanced Settings. Also, this problem makes it hard to type since the keyboard would cover the lower part of the screen.

I have rolled back to version 5.0, and everything works fine. Hope this gets fixed soon. Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback! On version 6, have you tried increasing the timeout? The errors you describe are exactly what would happen if the timeout was too short.
As of the second part, thanks! I didn't know that! I'll put the entire thing inside a scrollview so everting will be visible on all screens

Hi Jolan,
I tried to increase the timeout, and it is working now. Thanks! Maybe you could consider to increase the default value of timeout? Since the default value is only 50 ms.
And another question: Is the timeout in the editing screen has anything related to the timeout setting in the Tasker Action Edit page? There is already a "Timeout (Seconds)" setting in the Takser editing page which the default value is 60. This really confuses me.

On most devices 50 ms works well (anything I tested), especially if you're executing on the device itself (localhost). Increasing it will make the app more reliable, but also slower.
That's the timeout of Tasker. If the plugin takes more time than Tasker gives it, Tasker throws an error and just continues. My plugin ignores this, because most of the time it's finished in a few milliseconds anyways. So you can set that value to anything you like, it probably won't affect anything. However, the timeout inside the plugin is more important.

layout is fixed in version 6.1 btw :)
