Both can be used for prototyping and refining apps that we choose to convert to native programs with a tool like AIDE or keep in perpetual, iterative development with the tasks and scripts being run.
Let’s begin with a project that leverages the power of an SL4A-hosted Python script with the easy-to-use task management of Tasker. If you’re like me, this simple project will also be one of the most used scripts throughout ...
