This trigger will fire whenever the recent apps/task switcher screen is launched.
</pre>
''' Options '''
''This action may not be available/function on modern devices.''
This trigger has no configurable options. It simply fires when the recent apps screen is displayed.
''' Requirements '''
* Accessibility Service must be enabled
''' Compatibility '''
This trigger is only available on Android 8 (Oreo) and below (API level 27 and earlier). On newer Android versions, the trigger is not supported due to changes in how Android handles accessibility events for system UI components.

<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
Recent Apps Opened</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Log to file (append): "Task switcher opened at [hour]:[minute]:[second]"</pre>
'''Example 2: Clear clipboard on task switch'''
Automatically clear the clipboard when accessing recent apps for privacy:
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
Recent Apps Opened</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Clear Clipboard</pre>
''' Notes '''
* This trigger requires the MacroDroid Accessibility Service to be enabled
* The trigger monitors for the Android System UI RecentsActivity
* Due to Android restrictions on newer versions, this trigger may not function on devices running Android 9 (Pie) or later
* The trigger fires instantly when the recent apps screen is detected
