(android, tasker) - show the keyboard input when the Google search app is opened (AutoInput required)

readme.md

google search - show keyboard

when you open google's search app (version 6.8.21.21.arm) on android you will be shown a blank screen and the keyboard wont show until you tap on the search bar.

this task uses autoinput to click on the search bar which will in turn show the keyboard.

 

which to use: tsk.xml or prf.xml

tsk.xml
if you use a launcher like swipepad to open the google search then you can add a shortcut to the task (tsk.xml) and use that instead. the task will launch the search app and then send the tap action.

prf.xml
if you open the search app by the default method then use the profile (prf.xml) instead which will activate any time the app is opened.

(if youre not sure then just add both of them since they don't seem to conflict with each other)

google_search_show_keyboard.prf.xml
