Total Launcher has the capability to import data values from several other automation applications

• Tasker - an android automation application available from Google Play Store
• macroDroid - an android automation application available from Google Play store

• In Tasker (see Tasker's help at Kustom Heavy Industries [https://help.kustom.rocks/] for a more detailed explanation), a task has two actions:
  • Variable Set
  • Send Variable
• From Tasker's Action category “Plugin”
  • select “Total Launcher” from the alphabetical dialog
  • enter the following information with the symbols and brackets included. Substitute the appropriate varName.
    • Tasker variable name
      • %varName
    • Total Launcher
      • <varName>
• In Total Launcher
  • Turn Edit Mode on
  • Navigate to the desired screen
  • press Object Add (+} in the upper right screen area to open a dialog of element types
    • Select Graphic. The dialog will list the built-in element types:
      • Select Text
    • A dialog “Action on Tap” opens
      • tap the back button
    • the text element will shows on the screen
      • Tap and hold to move the text element to the desired location
  • Tap the Options icon (gear) icon to enter the object's Edit dialog.
    • Tap the label “Text” for a list of settings for this element
      • Scroll to the end of the listing and select
        • Advanced - Variable
    • click on Variable
      • Enter the desired varName next to Text as <varName>
      • Any text entered prior to or after <> will be displayed as literal.
      • Tap OK
      • The varName value will now appear on the screen
        • Should the varName be displayed literally, the variable has no recognized value. Re-check your work and insure Tasker has transmitted the data.
