Launch App in when automagic in background filed to work

Post by Sergey_777-s » 31 Oct 2019 12:19

Hi Martin & all, all time all works correctly, today when I execute flow with sleep + launch app using automagic interface - all OK, my app starts correctly,. But if I execute this flow and press home button while sleep timer works the app not starting, no errors in the log. Restart of device not helps. Android 7,before today all worked fine! What's wrong?

That shouldn't happen. I just tried it and everything works fine. Try creating a flow with only these two actions.

Action1: sleep 5s
Action2: launch "Chrome"

Manually execute the flow and press home button immediately (before 5s ends). The Chrome app should launch now. If not there is something interfering with automagic from executing the action.

When I not pressing home button chrome starts! But when I press home button immediately - nothing changed chrome not starts but log in two times the same without any error. How to find what interfering with automagic?

Is Automagic notification actively showing on your statusbar?

Did you turn that off?

What phone are you using?

If you don't mind can you share the flow I just asked you to create.

Share a screenshot of log too.

Automagic in statusbar, all permissions are on. I try to turn off - nothing. Phone xiaomi redmi note 4x. Update: when I start flow and press back, back, back to close automagic the chrome starts OK, but if I start flow and press home button the chrome not starts

I think the problem is related to your phone's ROM. This exact flow work fine in Stock ROM 8.1.

@Martin needs to look into it.

Firmware was updated half year ago, but problem only from some days, before all worked fine

Backup all your flows. Uninstall Automagic and reinstall. Also delete the "Automagic folder".

And try executing the flow. See how it goes.
