Open calendar "New Event" screen via intents?

Post by GollyJer » 29 Sep 2016 01:24

Hi. I'm able to open the New Event screen of calendar with the following Tasker instructions.

Code: Select all

 A1: Send Intent 
        Action:android.intent.action.EDIT 
        Cat:Default 
        Mime Type:vnd.android.cursor.item/event 
        Target:Activity  
How do I go about replicating in the Send Broadcast section of Automagic. I feel like I'm so close but haven't been able to figure it out.. thanks!

Hi,

You can use action Start Activity in Automagic to send the intent. The options are named mostly the same:
Action: android.intent.action.EDIT
Data MIME Type: vnd.android.cursor.item/event

Regards,
Martin

Worked perfectly... thanks!
Sometimes the action names don't match my expectations. :-)
