Automatically lock my screen when I keep my Samsung Galaxy Nexus in my pocket

Image
This Tasker project will enable your Android smartphone to automatically lock your screen when you put your smartphone in your pocket or bag. It also has a time out to avoid accidental block of the proximity sensor or maybe you just put in your smartphone but you need it again immediately after that.

Tell me the hour of the time every hour

At every hour, your Android smartphone will announce the hour(12 hour format) of the current time.

How to import Tasker projects, profiles, tasks and scenes

Tasker is a very powerful Android smartphone automation application. Although Tasker can practically do anything you want, you still have to learn how to create the automation. I know many of you out there are just plain lazy or no time to pick up the skill. Many had relied on Tasker users shared automation projects, profiles, tasks or scenes to quickly kick start your automation without hassle. I am sharing most of my Tasker automations in this blog for the benefit of the lazy Tasker people (no offence, i am one of them too). The Tasker automations that i am sharing in this blog are just the exported xml files. Most probably i will not be writing the "step through" like some other websites did but you can download and import the xml files using Tasker. It's easy enough. You can tweak my automation to suite your need. This post will show you how to import Tasker automation xml files into your Tasker application.

How to export Tasker's Projects, Profiles, Tasks and Scenes

In order to share your Tasker love (projects, profiles, tasks or scenes) to all Tasker users, you will need to export Tasker's projects, profiles, tasks or scenes to xml files. Anyone out there looking for a specific automation for their Android phone could just download and import the xml files into their Tasker Android application and tweak the automation to suite their own use. Somehow i felt that the export and import functions are not that intuitive. I did took a bit of time and Googling to find out how to export and import properly. This post will show you how to access the export function in Tasker.
