I was traveling, and I finally have time to test this. This works! I previously tried this with simple password unlock, but it didn't work, because the unlock macro wouldn't send the pin on a locked screen. However, fingerprint lock is what's needed, because the device will indeed accept the...

OK, so how do I test in Macrodroid that a given app is running in the background? Thank you very much.

Under certain conditions, I want to test whether a particular app is running in the background, but NOT running in the foreground. Is this possible? Thank you very much in advance.

I believe that all you would need to do is change "Empty Action" to "Run Macro ..." in the example shown above.

This looks like a good idea! And I'm looking for a macro to unlock the screen *any* time I want to unlock it, both right after power-on, and also any time later that the screen becomes locked. Unfortunately, I'm busy and can't test your suggestion for several days, but I just want to let you...

Thank you. My issue is not with entering the text or the digits or the button clicks on the unlock screen. I can do all of that with MacroDroid. My issue is with triggering MacroDroid to begin to enter the text or digits or button clicks in the first place. Most MacroDroid triggers are not...

Thank you again. But sadly, that doesn't work, either. The floating button is not visible when the PIN-entry or Password-entry screen comes up to unlock the device. I think I'm just out of luck with this. The purpose of locking a device is to prevent things like this from working, and...

Ah ... I figured it out. In order for something to look like a "failed" login attempt, I have to try to unlock once by entering at least 4 characters of an incorrect password or PIN. Then, the macro will indeed be triggered. So, no matter what I do, it appears that I will always have to enter...

Thank you. However, this doesn't work for me. I set all the possible requested permissions for Macrodroid on my rooted Android-11 device, including setting Macrodroid up as an admin app. I set up a "UI interaction" macro to enter the Password, and I set it up to be triggered by "login attempt...

I always prefer to use Swipe-Lock. However, in order to prevent Google from automatically deleting payment methods from my Android-11 device, Swipe-Lock cannot be enabled. I have to keep PIN-Lock, Password-Lock, or some other locking method active at all times on my device. I'm wondering: is...

I have now reported the problem there. Thank you very much. I hope this gets resolved soon.

Thank you very much. And now I see why I was confused about Plugins. It's because Macrodroid itself is confused about the fact that I already paid for an upgrade. It isn't showing me plugins under Applications, even though I did indeed upgrade. I paid for the upgrade in the past, but the...

Forgive me if I have overlooked the following information in the docs ... How do I use any of the listed Plugins within Macrodroid actions? For one example out of many, I installed "AutoTools" long ago on my rooted device, and I've been successfully using it as a Plugin with Tasker. How would...

I'm sorry for the late reply. Thank you. I now see that I only need one trigger. However, ticking each app is problematic, because I have more than 200 apps on my device, and all that ticking is a nuisance. I realize that it's only a one-time nuisance, and I guess I could live with that, but...

I have paid to be a Pro user, and if I click the "Upgrade" button to try become a Pro user, I now am told, "You already own this item". However, when I try to install any plugins, I am told that I am not allowed to do this, and that I must upgrade to being a Pro user. Since I already am a paid...
