I am trying to activate/deactivate Android's restricted profile through tasker This is on "true" android TV devices: mi box and nexus player (for all intents and purposes this also applies to the more expensive nvidia shield). They are both in oreo. I have already create the restricted profile, the point of my post is to create the script is to activate it. I have figure there is not likely an action called "enable restricted profile" and I need to simulate entry by a human. For instance to activate restricted profile: <Go to home> Up, Right, Right, <Enter>, Down, Down, <Enter> Important note that this is an android TV device, so for instance I can not enable accessibility settings. 1. What plug ins do I need to install? 2. Can I program those key sequences or do I need to use the menu names? Any tips are appreciated, relatively new to tasker. Pretty powerful thing for sure
Unfortunately without accessibility services I don't think you can simulate input like that... But you say "I have already create the restricted profile"... Where exactly did you create it, and what does it do exactly? Thanks
I have accessibility services and can turn on for Tasker and autoinput. Unfortunately when I do the navigation get whacked. I can not reach all the icons on the screen and pressing an icon gives what looks like a long press. Android TV has this concept of restricted profile. Basically you set it up with a pin and select which apps are available with restricted profile. Activating the profile just requires selecting the menu. Deactivating it requires a pin This is like kids mode
I see.. Can you maybe try with the Tasker Custom Setting action? Maybe there's a setting that can be toggled in the background?
