Input Dialog to select image, file, contact phone

Post by whenevere » 13 Aug 2017 16:05

Hi Martin, is it possible to add 3 new types of input dialog:

1. to select an image (like in the "Init Variable Image File" and "Set Wallpaper" actions)
2. to select a file (like in the "Copy File" action)
3. to select a contact phone number (like in the "Call Number" action)

with maybe a search feature ?

Actually this can be done already in automagic, using Action Start Activity (android intent). Then from the examples you have all those you want, from Pick Image, file, contact and even more.

But yeah, it is more complicated, as we need to learn how deal with the intent parameter. Intent Interception is a very useful app to learn the parameter. But still take some time to learn it.

If this is implemented into input dialog, it will easier, as the results are stored directly into variable (easier to be use).
