hernanbozzano commented 6 months ago

i am aware of the Remote Control via the Intent Interface section and i read it many times trying to send intents to control droidVNC with the android app called tasker but unfortunately i have not been able to make it work

clearly, as you can see, i am not an expert with intents and speaking english haha

does anyone have any idea how to complete this fields correctly? i have been trying in different ways for more than 2 hours without success thanks in advance hernan

@hernanbozzano here's what i used for testing, let me know if it works for you

action-category in menu is system->send intent
in there:
- action net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng.ACTION_START
- extra net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng.EXTRA_ACCESS_KEY:<your api key from droidvnc-ng start screen> (took me a while to figure out how Tasker parses this)
- package net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng
- class net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng.MainService
- target: service

Nice! I'll add it to the README for future Tasker users.
