Autobarcode scans should work even tho when phone is locked. Just like when tasker takes a photo. Have this app a built in barcode scanner, it seems like the one who should get paid is the other app recommended for this app to work.
I'm using this with autoinput for my "free coffee from machine" hack application, super awesome, thanks!!!
Works as it should. Reading QR codes is self explanatory and worked in my first attempt. Thanks!
this is very unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The same thing goes for the light version. It's great when it works though.
The app works as described - once I figured out how to launch it - but beware that docs online are in very bad shape, for instance they say to add "Action->Plugin" in Tasker rather than "State->Plugin." Little things like that add up to frustration! The info button within the app also leads to a 404 page, and it seems (?) that the "Continuous" scanning feature has been removed at some point, which is something I would really like to have. It *does* work well, it's just a more frustrating experience than necessary.
Works well. But I still prefer fully automated tasks.
Out of orange juice? Use AutoBarcode with the following intend to add a reminder to buy some: Send Intent [ Action:com.google.android.gm.action.AUTO_SEND Cat:None Mime Type:text/plain Data: Extra:android.intent.extra.TEXT: %par1 Extra: Package:com.kiwlm.mytoodle Class:com.kiwlm.mytoodle.TaskEditActivity Target:Activity ]
I emailed the dev about an issue a few weeks ago and I've been told the app will be updated within a few days with a fix for my problem. Similarly, my review will be updated in a few days.
I didn't get it to work right away (I expected Barcode Scanner to launch AutoBarcode for me instead of me launching AutoBarcode directly), but the dev was quick to respond to my mail. So 5 stars for the App and the dev, and 0 stars to the Google User who rated this app 1 star...
All i can do now is play with this app and tasker. I dont eat. Ive become unsociable and i hardly sleep. This app does more than my girlfriend. I recommend this app if you want to push tasker to the limit. Combined with the Autoremote app dont expect to see your loved ones or have a life for months. Thanks alot. Lol :-(
