Tasker to create toggle widget for ES ftp service

 

-----Edited on Feb. 28, 13 (Thanks again to RudeboyX, it is his great improvement on my earlier version.)

 

 

To perform this mission, Tap the tab "tasks" of Tasker, create a task as below.

 

 

Task: (ES FTP Toggle)

 

Action 1: task-If, %ESFTP !~ On     -------- here it is set up for the first run, when the variable is not set as blank. Also for the case if the FTP is set off.

 

Action 2: Misc-Send Intent,

Action: android.intent.action.MAIN
Package: com.estrongs.android.pop
Class: com.estrongs.android.pop.ftp.ESFtpShortcut
Target: Activity

 

Action 3: tasker-set widget icon, name: ES FTP Toggle, widget icon: (better pick a glowing one to show the status)

 

action 4: tasker-set widget label, name: ES FTP Toggle, label: FTP on

 

Action 5: variable -variable set, name: %ESFTP, to: On

 

Action 6: task-else    ------------- here is set up for the case if the FTP is set on, then triggers the hereinafter actions.

 

Action 7: Misc-Send Intent,
Action: android.intent.action.MAIN
Extra1: mode:2
Package: com.estrongs.android.pop
Class: com.estrongs.android.pop.ftp.ESFtpShortcut
Target: Activity

 

Action 8: tasker-set widget icon, name: ES FTP Toggle, widget icon: (better pick a gray one to show the status)

 

Action 9: tasker-set widget label, name: ES FTP Toggle, label: FTP off

 

Action 10: variable -variable set, name: %ESFTP, to: Off

 

Action 11: task-End if

 

 

 

well, right now, you may come back to the launcher desktop, add widget-tasker task, select (ES FTP Toggle), done!

 

you may test it with one tap, and then with second tap,to see if the widget would toggle from on to off, or off to on with the pre-defined icon and label.

 

One more thing, via this method, we are able to create toggle widget as many as we like within Tasker. Eg. Wifi, mobile data, etc.
