Tasker XML Creation

Create importable Tasker profiles and tasks via XML files.

Output Location

Write XML files to `/storage/emulated/0/Download/` for easy import:

/storage/emulated/0/Download/MyProfile.prf.xml

File Suffixes

• `.prf.xml` - Profile with linked task(s)
• `.tsk.xml` - Standalone task
• `.prj.xml` - Full project

Import Instructions

1. Open Tasker app 2. For profiles: Long press PROFILES tab → Import Profile 3. For tasks: Long press TASKS tab → Import Task 4. Navigate to Download folder, select the XML file

XML Structure

Basic Profile with Task

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TaskerData sr="" dvi="1" tv="6.3.13">
    <Profile sr="prof1" ve="2">
        <cdate>1706900000000</cdate>
        <edate>1706900000000</edate>
        <id>1</id>
        <mid0>1</mid0>
        <nme>Profile Name</nme>
        <!-- Event/State goes here -->
    </Profile>
    <Task sr="task1">
        <cdate>1706900000000</cdate>
        <edate>1706900000000</edate>
        <id>1</id>
        <nme>Task Name</nme>
        <pri>6</pri>
        <!-- Actions go here -->
    </Task>
</TaskerData>

**Important:** Profile `<mid0>` must match Task `<id>`.

Event Codes (for Profile triggers)

Use inside `<Profile>` with `<Event sr="con0" ve="2">`:

| Code | Event | |------|-------| | 599 | Intent Received | | 461 | Notification | | 463 | New Window | | 2078 | App Changed | | 3050 | Variable Set |

Intent Received Event (code 599)

<Event sr="con0" ve="2">
    <code>599</code>
    <Str sr="arg0" ve="3">rho.tasker.my_action</Str>
    <Int sr="arg1" val="0"/>
    <Int sr="arg2" val="0"/>
    <Str sr="arg3" ve="3"/>
    <Str sr="arg4" ve="3"/>
</Event>

• `arg0`: Intent action name (e.g., `rho.tasker.open_app`)
• `arg1`: Priority (0 = normal)
• `arg2`: Stop event (0 = no)
• `arg3`: Cat (category filter, usually empty)
• `arg4`: Data filter (usually empty)

Action Codes (for Task steps)

Use inside `<Task>` with `<Action sr="actN" ve="7">`:

Common Actions

| Code | Action | Key Args | |------|--------|----------| | 20 | Launch App | arg0=app name | | 25 | Go Home | (none) | | 30 | Wait | arg0=hours, arg1=mins, arg2=ms, arg3=secs | | 37 | If | arg0=condition | | 38 | End If | (none) | | 43 | Else | (none) | | 104 | Browse URL | arg0=url | | 123 | Run Shell | arg0=command, arg1=use root, arg2=timeout | | 126 | Return | (stops task) | | 130 | Perform Task | arg0=task name | | 137 | Stop | (stops task) | | 410 | Write File | arg0=path, arg1=content | | 547 | Variable Set | arg0=name, arg1=value | | 548 | Variable Clear | arg0=name | | 549 | Variable Add | arg0=name, arg1=value | | 550 | Variable Subtract | arg0=name, arg1=value | | 559 | Flash | arg0=text |

AutoInput Actions (code -1)

AutoInput uses plugin action code `-1` with Bundle configuration.

UI Query (Read Screen)

<Action sr="act0" ve="7">
    <code>-1</code>
    <Bundle sr="arg0">
        <Vals sr="val">
            <com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.extra.BLURB>Check Screen
Configuration: Check Screen</com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.extra.BLURB>
            <com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.extra.BLURB-type>java.lang.String</com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.extra.BLURB-type>
            <net.dinglisch.android.tasker.subbundled>true</net.dinglisch.android.tasker.subbundled>
            <net.dinglisch.android.tasker.subbundled-type>java.lang.Boolean</net.dinglisch.android.tasker.subbundled-type>
        </Vals>
    </Bundle>
    <Str sr="arg1" ve="3">com.joaomgcd.autoinput</Str>
    <Str sr="arg2" ve="3">com.joaomgcd.autoinput.activity.ActivityConfigUIQuery</Str>
    <Int sr="arg3" val="600"/>
</Action>

After this action, these variables are available:

• `%aitext()` - Array of visible text
• `%aiid()` - Array of element IDs
• `%aicoords()` - Array of x,y coordinates
• `%aiapp` - Current app package
