==== How to automate track recording using the Tasker app ====
\\
----

GPX Viewer PRO supports starting/pausing, stopping, and adding waypoints by automation with [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm|Tasker app]]. 
This how to will explain how this could be automated with the Tasker app:

  - In Tasker add new task and add new action **System** -> **Send Intent** with these parameters:

  Send Intent [ 
    Action: android.intent.action.RUN
    Cat: None
    Mime Type:
    Data:
    Extra: android.intent.extra.TEXT:TRACK_RECORDING_ACTION_START_PAUSE
    Extra:
    Extra:
    Package: com.vecturagames.android.app.gpxviewer.pro
    Class:
    Target: Activity ]

For starting track recording add **android.intent.extra.TEXT** with parameter **TRACK_RECORDING_ACTION_START_PAUSE**, for stopping track recording change it to **TRACK_RECORDING_ACTION_STOP** and for adding waypoint change it to **TRACK_RECORDING_ACTION_WAYPOINT**.
