[PROJECT] Android Pie Screen Brightness Workaround v1.2

DESCRIPTION
As some users reported having problems with the Display Brightness action on Android Pie, on the latest Tasker v5.8.2 version, I have made a workaround task that may help these users.

You can track the issue on:
· Reddit (thread)
· tasker.helprace (ticket)

* The problem, in the end, was discarded by Joao, so there will be no other than to use this project to modify the brightness in those devices that present that abnormal functioning. Sorry.

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet
(It can be deleted after imported)

Notes:
- Go here to learn more about how Android Pie now manages the screen brightness function.
- Not all people are experiencing the same situation. Some tells that is working fine, between correct and normal range (0-255). But others reports that Android is managing the brightness level far out of range, like: 0-1200.
- To make the Tasker to set 0 level correctly on some devices, you will have to grant the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to Tasker. Or have root.
- To use the automated version (B), root will be required.

CHANGELOG
- New: Added a separate version for users that want to automate getting min and max values. (recommended only if values changes on every device boot, as reported by some users) (root needed)
- Other: All switched to Project type.
- Other: Added missing task labels (notes) to guide the user how to proceed.
- Other: minor changes.

[PROJECT] Android Pie Screen Brightness Workaround v1.3

DESCRIPTION
As some users reported having problems with the Display Brightness action on Android Pie, I have made a workaround task that may help these users.

You can track the issue on:
· Reddit (thread)
· tasker.helprace (ticket)

* The problem, in the end, was discarded by Joao, so there will be no other than to use this project (or your own method) to modify the brightness in those devices that present that abnormal functioning. Sorry.

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet, or when the dev considers it is needed even not imported from TaskerNet.

Notes:
- Thanks to @mehPhone (Reddit) for contributing, @gerardo246and and @JavierAlbalat for testing.
- Go here to learn more about how Android Pie now manages the screen brightness function.
- Not all people are experiencing the same situation. Some tells that is working fine, between correct and normal range (0-255). But others reports that Android is managing the brightness level far out of range, like: 0-4095.
- To allow the project to set 0 (or lower = -15, ie) level correctly on some devices, you will have to grant the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to Tasker. Or have root.

CHANGELOG
- New: Different method to get min/max values (no root nor special permissions needed). (Thanks to @mehPhone from Reddit for sharing)
- Other: As min/max values can be retrieved without the need of root or special permissions, there's no need to get/set any of these values anymore.
- Other: Re-worked 'Initial Setup' task.
- Other: Other minor changes.

[TASK] Android Pie Screen Brightness Workaround v1.0

DESCRIPTION
As some users reported having problems with the Display Brightness action on Android Pie, on the latest Tasker v5.8.2 version, I have made a workaround task that may help these users.

You can track the issue on:
· Reddit (thread)
· tasker.helprace (ticket)

Notes:
- Not all people are experiencing the same situation. Some tells that is working fine, between correct and normal ranks (0-255). But others reports that Android is managing the brightness level far out of range, like: 0-1200.
- I have bundled all the tasks into a single project file, so import it as a project.
