PopUp opens Macrodroid

[Snurre]

Hey
Got a little problem
In a macro when it displays a popup or dialog it opens MD in front of the popup, so it's in the background
The problem is on my phone with Android 12, works ok on the other with Android 10
Just a simple macro, anyone with 12 who want to try ?

I can confirm it works fine on my android 10 phone as well.

On my Samsung S10e with Android 12, the popup appears on top without bringing the MacroDroid app to the foreground.

Really Strange
About 8 to 9 out of 10 mine opens MD

Does MacroDroid have permission to display on top of other apps?

macro has empty trigger,
how do you run it ??

 

[Pseudocyclic]

I put a Wait Before Next Action before the Popup Message, then selected the Test Actions option.

Yes

It could be drawer or another macro, but thats not the issue it does the same if I use a button
It was just an example of the most simple macro, I've got the same problem with other macro's

 

[Pseudocyclic]

... I've got the same problem with other macro's

Do you have the same problem with other actions (eg Display Dialog)? Or only with Popup Message?

Also dialogs I'm afraid

Just curious, what brand/model are the phones?

 

[Snurre]

It's never bad to be curios
It's Samsung Galaxy z Flip 3 with Android 12 and MD 5.22.2 pro

 

[Snurre]

The same issue happens when I use"Open file"

I've just reported it as a possible bug, I think it's about Android 12, not sure

Is that a MacroDroid beta?

 

[Snurre]

Yep, think so

I found out the problem only occurs when MD is running in background (in Recent)

I have found out a little workaround for this

When it's a notification I just added "Launch homescreen" after that, the notification stays on screen

I've got a macro that shows a texfile, here the same problem

With the issue about "Open file" I've added "Press Back Button" with "App foreground" Macrodroid as constraint

I've tryed to figure out if it's possible to close "Recent apps" but can't really find it (it would be smarter, I think)

In theory you can clear macrodroid from the recent apps list with a swipe or gesture. I would launch macrodroid, then the recent apps Android shortcut (since MD is in the foreground it should be the most recent app on the list) the use a UI Interaction gesture to remove MD from recent apps. Since it is a service/persistent it should remain running.....

In theory yes, but I'm not a great fan of UI actions, I don't think they are 100% reliable

That is true they are not. But it is the best option you have at the moment.
