Widgets not working anymore (under A11)?

Post by ChillDuder » 31 Dec 2020 16:01

Hello,

(i know that sadly AM isn't maintained anymore.. But:)

Are simple widgets (placed in the launcher) are working on your devices with android 11?
When i place a AM widget in the launcher, is just shows empty space, but there 'is something' which i can long press and remove. Im on oxygen os 11 with stock launcher.

Thanks in advance.

Hello. I think may be it doesn't work on android 11. I suggest you try to install another launcher on Play Store then try again to see if the widget working or not.

Happy new year to everybody!

Same here (Android 11 on a OnePlus 8 Pro using Nova Launcher).

The widgets not working (I had a lot of them) forced me to move to Tasker and UCCW. I've now managed to replace almost all of my flows, but I do miss lots about Automagic (especially the User Interface and the fact that everything is built in, whereas with Tasker I've needed to install quite a number of helper apps).

I don't know if it has global variables or not, but you can try to turn it into json then write to file. When use, read the file and turn it back to variable.

No need to move to Tasker
I've checked UCCW and KWGT and you can send values to both of the apps
You just need to use the plugin provided with each app

UCCW:
Plugin side - variable name and value
App side -
1. Open objects
2. Add "Tasker variable" object
3. Select "Source" as "Tasker variable" and in "Label" just write the name of the variable

KWGT:
Plugin side - Tasker string is the value and Kustom variable is the variable name you will use in KWGT app
App side -
1. Add text object
2. Open "Text" property of the object
3. Under "Formula Editor" write "$br(tasker,variable name)$"

Enjoy

On Automagic_1_37_0 no problems with Widgets on Android 11

On Version 1_38_0 the Widgets did not work for me.

The widgets on android 11 doesn't work for me as well

That's why i've checked UCCW and KWGT and posted a simple instructions
If just the widgets don't work it's not a reason to use Tasker instead
AM works perfectly as an automation app and the widgets have a workaround

Best regards
