[bug] MD crashes

MacroDroid crashes when testing the voice input action when Google is not installed. Also there's no configure button so I would need to delete the action and re add it to change variable. Useful feature though!

MacroDroid crashes when testing the voice input action ...

Is this a Beta thing?

Is this a Beta thing?

Yes in a sense. There is no place that it says the Google app is required (which it needs to be) but instead of notifying, it crashes

I mean is this a new action that is only currently available in the Beta version of MacroDroid? Or are we talking about the Voice Search action? Or...?

The action is called voice input, it is in Beta at the moment.

The action is called voice input, it is in Beta at the moment.

That's really great news, thanks! Hope it's in the next non-Beta update.

@Jacob L Thanks for heads up. I currently have an updated beta about to go live but I shall try and resolve for the subsequent release.

The feature will definitely be in the next production release.

Also the voice input action needs the device to be unlocked, is there a fix so we can use while screen is off?

 

[MacroDroidDev]

Sorry I don't think there is any way to do this with the screen off....

Now I will wait for someone to tell me "Tasker does it with screen off"
