[MOD][XPOSED][TASKER][4.4+] - (2014/03/05) - Dismiss Alarm Tasker Plugin

[mikefero]

Dismiss Alarm Tasker Plugin
DATP is an Xposed Module and Tasker plugin for handling dismissed alarms
originating from the KitKat Desk Clock (Alarm Clock) on Nexus 5 devices. DATP
uses the Xposed findAndHookMethod to intercept the
AlarmStateManager::setDismissState and creates an intent to initiate the Tasker
plugin event mechanism. The Tasker plugin portion of DATP allows you to set an
alarm label of interest to isolate named alarm events; blank (empty string)
alarm labels will result in all dismissed alarms events for that configuration.

Installation Requirements

Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the
system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means
that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any
changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also
easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to
deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There
are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can
do changes to the same part of the system or app. With modified APKs, you
to decide for one. No way to combine them, unless the author builds
multiple APKs with different combinations.

[Tasker] v4.3b5+ (Purchase Required)

Tasker is an application for Android which performs tasks (sets of
actions) based on contexts (application, time, date, location, event,
gesture) in user-defined profiles or in clickable or timer home screen
widgets.

This simple concept profoundly extends your control of your Android device
and it's capabilities, without the need for 'root' or a special home
screen.

NOTE: As of 2014/03/05 the current version available on the Google Play
Store is v4.2u3. The beta edition is required due to the addition
of support for developer event plugins.

Also works on N4.
Would you consider to add actions to create, change and delete alarms by label?

Also works on N4.

Thanks for letting me know this works on Nexus 4 devices. Are you running KitKat v4.4+? The reason I am asking is I recently updated the title of this thread as I had a typo as to what version of android devices this is targeting. It's very well possible this would work on older android versions; however I targeted the build of the APK for SDK version 19 which is the KitKat release. When I get a moment I may go back into the AOSP repository and see if this will work on older Android Alarm Clock (Desk Clock) versions, but for now I am forcing KitKat requirement in the build.

Would you consider to add actions to create, change and delete alarms by label?

It is already possible to create alarms with alarm labels using Tasker; App->Set Alarm action. The Set Alarm App Action contains the following configuration elements:

• Hours - Hour of day for alarm
• Minutes - Minute of day for alarm
• Message - Required on some devices [Not Nexus devices]
• Confirm - If you want to confirm the creation of the alarm
• If - Conditional expression that must be met to perform action
• Label - Alarm label

The above would handle the creating of alarms with alarm labels. I use this App Action in Tasker to create an alarm Sunday - Thursday in a "Sleeping" task that is initiated from an NFC tag that I have on my nightstand. DATP was created so that I could perform my "End Sleeping" task when the alarm is dismissed and not snoozed as Tasker's event Alarm Done would get fired for any action of the Alarm Clock.

Could you elaborate on the enhancement request regarding "change and delete alarms by label?" I do not fully understand what you are looking for in this instance and once I have a better understanding I will look at adding this functionality.

 

[cramu]

Yes I'm running 4.4.2.

Just digging through my old profiles and you're right, I already managed to set an alarm with label through tasker.
The problem was, that tasker is not able to edit or delete alarms.
If you try to change an alarm that has been set before, Tasker will create a new alarm with the same label.

OK I think I understand what you are looking as far as additional actions for Tasker. When I get a chance I will look into adding the ability to change and delete alarms via two new Tasker actions. I will make it so that if the alarm label is matched then update the alarm with a new time or delete the alarm. If it makes sense I may package them into one Tasker action with a check box for delete actions; we'll see though what looks better.

Not sure when I am going to get to adding this functionality, but it should be within the next week or so.

 

[cramu]

Thanks for investigation.

When i try to install the apk this is what appear : There was a problem while parsing the package...
I tried another xposed plugin and it work. Can someone upload it in another place?

It only installs on KitKat. You get that message if you try to install on anything less than 4.4 KitKat.

Will be this available for 4.3 ?

I will investigate at some point and see if the functionality is available for older versions of Android in the com.google.android.deskclock package. I targeted and tested only KitKat and that is why I forced that restriction on the installation. Feel free to download the source from github and make any modifications. If you do make any changes and want them committed just send me a patch and I will more than likely incorporate in a future release.

Source can be obtained here: github.com/mikefero/DismissAlarmTaskerPlugin

NOTE: I noticed a build issue when I recently checked out a clean copy of the source and have already updated the project locally; will commit sometime soon with some other fixes. The issue is with the pathing for the locale-api which I may just rip out this requirement at some point as well in order to make the building simpler with less setup on any other developers end.

Should this work with CM11?

I tried but don't work on Note 4...it's a very useful plugin of it'll work.

Doesn't work on Lollipop for me. Would be greatly appreciated if you could add support.

Thanks for the logs and the heads up.; I didn't even realize rovo89 updated Xposed to work with ART on Lollipop back in February. With that good news discovered and your test using the module I will dust off the code and look into adding support when I have some free time. Might be a few weeks so if you don't hear anything from me give me a ping.

The fix for Lollipop is actually quite trivial:
\fero\xposed\dismissalarm\DismissAlarm.java, line51: com.google.android.deskclock -> com.android.deskclock
I'm not sure whether Google-provided roms still have google in the package name, but Cyanogenmod/AOSP don't. Maybe just look for either to be on the safe side?

Attached is a .apk patched to work with CM12 until there's an official update. Apk is signed with my own keys so you'll have to uninstall the old one first.
@mikefero: If you have a problem with this apk / updated yours then please ping me and I'll remove it.

@XlAfbk Thanks for providing an updated APK; I have no problem with it. Would it be possible for you to provide a diff patch or create a fork and initiate a pull request so I can merge it in when I get my setup going?

I actually modded it in .smali as I was too lazy to set up the build environment properly.

Is this still working with CM 12.1? It seems not to be integrated in Tasker?
