About
This trigger will fire when certain textual content appears on screen or is removed (as configured).
Note
That this trigger may not work for all apps/screen content as often text will be non-readable (for example if rendered within a game).
Supported configurations
Applications
- For optimal performance please select specific applications and do not use the 'All Applications' option.
Select one or more applications to search for content on the screen.
- On Screen: Only IF Text/ID is present on the display.
- Off Screen: Only NO Text/ID is present on the screen.
Match Option
- Text content:
It will search for the match by text.
- View id:
Find the match by identifier, you can find the ids with actions e.g. Read Screen Content, Check Text To Screen.
See also: Read Screen Contents, Check Text To Screen.
Text to match
Text to match, supports the use of wildcards and magic text.
See also: Magic Text.
Checkbox
- Enable regular expression matching
Regular expression matching (or regex matching) is a technique for finding patterns within text using a specialized syntax known as regular expressions. It's a powerful tool for text processing and pattern recognition.
- Case insensitive
It will ignore the use of upper and lower case in title and detail.
- Include overlays (Pro Only)
An overlay is like an additional layer that is placed on top of other applications on your device. It can be a pop-up window, a banner or even a small icon.
Read Screen Update Rate
The frequency that the device will query the screen contents.
With intervals of 0.1 sec up to a maximum of 5 sec.
More frequent updates may cause higher battery drain.
- Don't read when MacroDroid is open
Enabling this option will prevent reading the screen contents when MacroDroid is the foreground app. This can prevent laggy behaviour when using the app.
