Yes, as explained in the page referred by Endercraft, the link does not work in my computer browser but it does work from my phone, which has Microdroid installed, when I browse the forum using MD's Forum tile.

Hello again. Today I bring you new versions of both functions / action blocks presented above. The new versions have the following improvements over the original ones: 1. They now use decimal variables (instead of integers) for the results, which allow for much greater values of these, i.e...

Where is it?

Hello. I was experimenting with action blocks and I noticed how all their variables (input, work and output) have a default value and not just a current value. Could this mean that, contrary to macro variables, action block variables are reinstantiated from their default value each time a block...

Come to think of it, it's possible to go one better. Suppose the action block mentioned above, containing the Wait and the Press Back Button actions, is called Press_back_button_with_delay. We can now create another action block containing the two actions which before we were placing in the...

Uber ahoy!

Well, I dreamed up another way of stopping the current thread. It's quite stupid but it works! First set up an action block with just 2 actions: Wait 100 ms (your mileage may vary) Press Back Button Then, in your macro, at the point you want to stop execution, call the previously created...

Yes, I thought of something like that too, but I didn't really like the idea of the thread being still there, just hanging forever in limbo. I also tried to cause an error that would stop processing, like calling an inexistent macro or action block but execution just continues past the error. I...

Come on, now! I know the matter is of the utmost interest, but please calm down, there is room for everyone. All questions will be answered (by someone)! Well, to get the ball rolling, let me mention the Cancel Macro Actions action. I used to use it a lot as an alternative to: some_code if...

Hello all. Compared to other computer languages and scripting, Macrodroid, as far as I can tell, possesses a peculiar perk inasmuch as it is possible, and it often happens (at least in my macros), that the same macro can be re-invoked while a previous invocation of it has not yet completed and...

Yes. English, please. Anyhow, I think there are plenty enough Uber-related macros in the store already.

Always something to do in bed for the last three months? I do envy you ;-)

Yeah, if you removed it, that would probably break quite a few macros out there… But I'm glad conversion is automatic now.

Well, that works too. I just thought that an integer would be the proper type to assign an integer system setting to, since the setting I am interested in is an integer. Thanks. BTW, since I now have to convert string to integer, I thought I'd have to use strval. Turns out that if I assign...

No… Never heard about that.

Hello all. Now, I may be very stupid (hey, I heard that!) but I just can't seem to be able to get the list of magic texts to include the three System Setting entries – System, Global and Secure – when calling that list from the Set Variable dialogue. It seems to me that those entries appear in...

Hello. You know, the Shake Device trigger is not 100% exact. Sometimes it fires and sometimes it doesn't. It also depends on the strength used, the movement direction, etc. Anyhow, if you haven't yet, you may take a look at MacroDroid's settings / Trigger Options / Shake Trigger. It has a few...

Hm… I guess it makes sense – the stars just accumulate over time. Maybe a system like that used in tennis, where points expire after a year, should be implemented…

Hello and thanks for the star. I'm glad you liked it. It sure took me a while to get everything as I wanted it. I also searched for your battery macro but couldn't find it. Did you post it here? Anyway, there's little point in posting elaborate creations in Templates: the really popular ones...

Hello. To upload your macros, you should use the Templates option at the bottom of MacroDroid's home screen and then the Upload icon – the one with the cloud and the up arrow. Good luck. P. S. – I also took a course in Cobol (and RPG). But I never used any of them when I got a job.
