A few days ago I was driving my car and I would liked to change my playlist without touch my phone. I Have a parrot MKi9100 that has controls for play/pause music, next and previous song and support for voice dial from my phone. It doesn't have support for make actions.
So I was thinking about it and I had an idea: I can make contacts for make actions.
I've created, for example, a contact for change playlist to Rock. When I voice call Rock (contact with fake number) Tasker detect that I'm calling that contact and start a serie of actions:
- Says me that Rock playlist was selected
- Start the playlist
So now I can change playlists with tasker without touch my phone. Other contacts I created are:
- Google: Start GPS + Open Google Now.
- Vlingo: Start GPS + Vlingo.
- Nagigate to home: Start GPS and take me home.
- Change between playlists.
- ...
Edit: A solution for not make calls is install https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...aXJtLmZyZWUiXQ.. and put the contacts for actions in the confirm list and when tasker trigger the task, simply kill the "confirm call" app. With this app your phone never start a call for this contacts.
I think the posibilities are infinite. Perhaps my solution is complicated, is there any easier solution? If not, help my to improve my idea ! :)
