I didn't try all new features and improvement yet but you've made a great job... as usual!

Big thanks!

The improvement you made on Selection Dialog leads to divide by 2 the length of some of my macros (no workarounds needed anymore, just waiting for some visual improvement as suggested but it's not crucial).

Thanks again!

I only have one thing to say: variables everywhere

The same situation with me, sometimes I needed 2 or variable Maists to get around this limitation.
Very good work

Is it not better to put the system setting search up a level, before we pick system/secure/global? So that if we are in the wrong option it will still find it

Yes you are right, this would be a better solution, but it will require significant refactoring of the UI to do this, so I will leave as is for now and hopefully get round to this restructure in the not too distant future.

Tried install this beta in my new phone Vivo X100 Pro but couldn't update eventhough current version is running v5.40.4, after click update just force closed. However, my Samsung S23U is running fine.

Good afternoon, I do not know if it's bug or if it's anyway. But in the same configuration dialog box to store the key in a variable and the value selected in different variables, in both cases only the key is stored. It would be better if both the key and the value related to it were stored in the variables.

I just noticed a strange behavior when using User prompt on string variables:
- when typing letters the word is underlined
- when including digits to the letters the string remains underlined until the 2nd digit. When typing a 3rd one, all the string becomes normal (not underlined). When backspacing such a word, it reverts underlined as soon as the 3rd digit is erased...
- when begining the input with non Ascii characters it is not underlined.

@Dm114 I believe this is just the standard spell checking behavior of your keyboard highlighting words that it thinks are incorrect. I don't see the same behavior as you are here, but I don't do anything specific to this text field to make it behave like this.

 

[Endercraft]

As @MacroDroidDev said it's your keyboard that is making this line appear, I've had it too, it underlines the current word you are typing (I don't remember the reason though).

There is a bug in import cURL, origin and referer header links don't imported only https shows

Thanks for your answer but:
- I deactivated automatic spell checking and the result is the same
- I've never noticed that before but I may be wrong and never paid attention as it's not troublesome at all...

I was just afraid this "new" behavior could hide another more embarrassing problem. If you didn't change anything in this field everything is perfect !

A Default/Currently active stream option for the Show volume pop-up action. Eg. If you're listening to music it'll show for media/music but if you're in a call it'll show for voice call.

I get an error when I try to use the curl command with v5.41.2 and Helper 1.13.
Anyone else have the same problem?

I've same problem 'shellscript' action with MD 5.41.2/Helper 1.14

It's now occurring on my MobilePhone(Sharp SH-M17&A003SH) where cURL used to run without problems.

 

[MacroDroidDev]

Can you please post full details of the error, or submit a bug report with the offending macro.

Hi, @MacroDroidDev,

I can't explain it well,
On a terminal where cURL used to work via the helper without any problems, recently upgraded to MD5.41.2 and helper 1.4, cURL using shell scripts such as the attached macro no longer works.

Best regards,

Liner Seven

@LinerSeven thanks for sharing the macro.

The issue you are seeing is the curl binary does not seem to be on your device. The error is: "/system/bin/sh: <stdin>[16]: curl: inaccessible or not found"

I just tried your macro on an Android 13 device with 5.41.2 and helper 1.14 and it works fine.

I tried you macro on an Android 14 device with the 5.40.4 and 1.13 and I see the exact same error you do.

For whatever reason the curl command is no longer available on your device by default, so it cannot be called. I don't think this is in any way relevant to the beta release of MacroDroid and you will see this with the current production version as well. Perhaps some system update has removed the curl binary.

I would suggest either of the following:

Use the HTTP request action instead.
Use something like termux (from F-Droid) as it should have the curl command available.
Find a curl binary built for Android and put it on your device somewhere it can be executed (and remember to make sure the binary is executable)
