    Hi,
    so im having some Tasks using AutoInput Gestures and Actions. These are working just fine when i had a reboot of my smartphone, but afters several hours or sometimes days, without changing anything in tasker, the Gestures/Actions stop working. Not just for one task, but for most of them.
    I do not know why this keeps happening and am hoping for some help and tipps here.

    I'm using a Honor 9 and have accessibility enabled.

    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for the report. Do you get any error when trying to use them?

    Hi,

    thank you for the response.
    I'm just getting the popup "Couldn't perform gesture: null"

    Also, what maybe has something to do with it, I'm getting the error mostly for gestures and actions that should work on my lockscreen.

    And if you unlock your screen and run tasks with gestures, does it work then?

    Hi,

    That's working, but I have the feeling that the tasks get carried out with a delay. Like I have to wait a second or two before the gesture/action is applied.

    Thanks. But to clarify, the gestures do sometimes work on the lock screen?

    When I reboot the phone it's working for some time... I rebooted on Wednesday and this morning I got the first error.

    And if you unlock and re-lock the device, does it start working again?

    If the error occurs once only a reboot of the phone helps (as far as I know).

    Hey,

    even if it's over: Merry Christmas!

    Today I got an error again:
    Code (Text):
    Couldn't perform gesture: Couldn't perform gesture
    Seems to be the same error, even if the popup says something different. Another Task with an action is working just fine.

    Thank you. Unfortunately the Android Gestures API doesn't give me any more details... :( It simply fails and doesn't say why... Do normal input actions still work when it does that?

    Hi,

    I just tried the following:
    Since I didn't had a task that was using a Swipe with the device already unlocked I created one that's just scrolling trough my contacts.
    This new task also does not work, once I have the error.
    I then rebooted the smartphone and tried it again. Now both of the tasks, the one for Zhe locked device and the new one for the unlocked device, are working.
    So it seems that the issue has something to do with the swipes only...

    What about simple clicks by text or element ID (instead of x,y)? Do those work?
