Sending an intent to tasker, from tasker

Question

I'm trying to follow this how-to: Dynamic Home Button Behavior (GrogBase), but I am having problems sending and receiving an intent. Can anybody tell me how to format the intent to be sent by a task, to be received by tasker?

Answer 1

I figured it out:

The intent sent needs to be configured like this:

Action: net.dinglish.android.tasker.ACTIION_TASK
Cat: None
Extra:[task name]
Target: Broadcast Receiver

And the Receive intent profile needs to be set up like this:

Action: net.dinglish.android.tasker.ACTIION_TASK
Cat: alt
Cat: None
Priority: Normal

Then Tasker will react to an intent tasker sends to Tasker.
