[Dev] rlToday

I've made a new small Today Plugin, which makes of XML Files like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<today height="100">
<AnalogClock x="0" y="0" clockface="blueclockface100.bmp" />
<AnalogClock x="200" y="0" clockface="blueclockface40.bmp" />
<Text x="210" y="40" text="Korea">
<Font size="8" />
</Text>
<AnalogClock x="200" y="50" clockface="blueclockface40.bmp" />
<Text x="210" y="90" text="Mexiko">
<Font size="8" />
</Text>
<DigitalClock x="160" y="120" format="hh:mm" />
<Image x="110" y="3" source="ical.png" />
<Date x="130" y="23" format="d">
<Font size="20" weight="bold" font="Tahoma" />
</Date>
<Text x="90" y="85" text="(c) by Andre Adrian" />
</today>
a screen like this (the part with the analog clocks):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would like to here your ideas for such a thing.
sincerely,
Andre

good work ! thanks

Fixed some Bugs, runs a lot more stable now. Skin is choosable in the INI File in the Program Directory. Settings Dialog is prepared.
I've put the actual Version in the First Post.

Very nice! For some reason it does not load for me, gotta play with it when I wake up today.

This plugin is what i have been looking for. And it is very customizeable too.
Thanks a lot Rotlaus.
EDIT: my xda mini's display hangs after a few minutes when i use the plugin.

All these Parameters are optional.

Thanks for the new version Rotlaus

Thanks rotlaus, takes me back to my ms smartphone days = when I used to design my home screen through xml!! I still love my spv c500 . I will enjoy fiddling with this and getting it set up the way I like it - cheers!

I am pretty sure it will - you will probably have to edit the xml file so that the position of the clock etc.. is to your liking.

meschle,
Thanks, it is working in VGA, the problem is the resedue of the pink background retains at the edge of the images. Unlike your attached image it is clear. Also I tried to reduce the font size (size=6) and it seems not working.
One more, Can I reduce the size of the Clock (let say 20), I am woried about the arm of the clock, it may not fit to the clock face.
Thanks,

Hi - I have edited the images to get rid of the purple\pink effect :wink:
I think size 6 font is a little small for the screen, try 7 or 8 - clock size 20 probably too small - the one on the left of the screen is 16 and wont allow the arms to show.
I have images 60, 40 and 16 which are all edited to remove the pink\purple effect - find them attached in the zip below.

Wow, it is clear now (how did you do that?). I still cant change the font size. I hve to do more reading I suppose.
Anyway thanks for your help, at least I have a descent clock now in may jasjar...
Oppps...! one more problem... the plug-in background is blur. it is supposed to be transparent like the others.
General comment: a litle bit enhancement and this software is great...
Cheers,

I edited bmp in photo editing software.
In mine its fully transparent.
Try my skin.xml - you may find it easier to edit as its simplified - attached

Sorry for the delay, i was very busy the last days.
New Version in the first Post.
Changes:
- no fiddling with the transparent color (pink), i support now real PNG Transparency
- also Alpha Blending is supported
- For the analog clock hands you can now use graphics (See the swiss skin attached to this post). This will look like this:
But beware, this graphic clockhands are very memory hungry...
cu,
Andre

Thanks rotlaus - will update my skin and images as necessary - cheers!
EDIT the dll for this has gone from 78kb to 429kb - how comes such a large increase??

This is cause of the new graphics library which enables real transparency, alpha blending and the graphical clock hands.

Filesize has grown too big in my oppinion. I don`t want to waste huge amounts of space for something as simple as a today plugin. If you could reduce filesize or make a "light" version or something it'd be great.
Anyways, besides from the size, great work, thank you!

I could drop JPEG Support. I don't need it. Then the dll would get around 350Kb. But still big. It'll grow anyway cause of future features that i'm currently developing.
@all: Do you need JPEG Support?

A replacement for HTCs ActionScreen.
Coded in Win32 C++ for speed.
Applications can be configured via the registry.
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\App_X
Path changes the path, Parm changes the parameters, and Text changes the text
Timeout (how long before the application minimizes) can be changed at:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Timeout time is in milliseconds
The size of the text can be configured:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\FontSize
Font colour
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Font Red/Green/Blue (0-255)
The text at the top of the page can be configured
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Text
If
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Exit
is 0, the app will minimize, if it's 1, the app will close after timeout or action.
Changelog:
0.03 now allows the application to close rather than staying resident in memory.
0.02 Adds configurable text, clicking on the top most bar minimizes the application.
0.01 Initial Release

reserved for updates

try this one,thx!

Update to 0.02, see first post for more...

looks cool and works well!

7 items, Why no 14?
Hi l3v5y,
It's a great tool but we already have an action 9. If you split the screen in two parts, you can put 14 items (maybe a new entry in regitry to change from 7 to 14) . Another idea is to create a new tab in manila. In any case this application looks fine and I'll test it. Thanks!!.

Currently, this is just a rewrite of the ActionScreen as it comes. I'll take suggestions on what to do, and having 14 items sounds interesting!
Also, for anyone with a blackstone, if you edit the skin file and add two more App_X keys which match those of the other keys, you can get 9 applications.

Nice! i tryed it but some things are not working.
When i click at the top it doesnt minimise, it gives an error saying that it couldnt open file "".
Also tryed to change the text at the top but it didnt change, new sms and new mms arent working (nothing is opened)
maybe the problem is that my rom language is not wwe?
the rest works good, thanks!

Hi l3v5y, as above, but not tried mms, i don't use it but nothing happens when I press new sms. I have a feeling you will fix it!

What version does it say in the bottom right? (yes, I kow it's ridiculously small, but any larger and it gets in the way) I may have uploaded the wrong cab!

(or at leas, I think it is :S)

yes, now it works!
Just one thing, once you open the program and lauch something it doesnt exit, it stays minimised.
Could you add a reg entry or change it so it closes instead of minimise and wasting ram?
thanks

That seems a good idea.
I didn't do it, because the RAM usage on my Prophet (QVGA) wasn't as bad.

This may seem like a very dumb question, but where exactly do I go to find the "action Screen" on my Diamond? I've had it for about 2 months now and I've never seen an action screen. Is it after market? I ask because i understood this to be a rewrite of a current default setting that comes preinstalled on the diamond... Maybe i'm just have the biggest brain fart ever.

Could be the fact that I wasn't hugely specific. This is a rewrite of something the Touch Dual had, not the Diamond.

When are you going to prepare a 14 buttons version?
Hi l3v5y,
Are you developing a 14 buttons version?. Thnks in advance.

You can pick and choose. When you extract the file you will see all the widgets in there 50 of them you will also a see a cab called "enable widgets" or something you have to install that before you can install any of the widgets.

You can install just the ones you want. Unzip the widget pack and copy over the .wgt files that you desire. Be sure to install the "Enable Widgets WM6.5" CAB file first, then install the .wgt files just like a CAB.
ptyindian beet me to it... Enjoy!

Pardon my stupidity but I have HTC vogue and I tried to install it. It says "succesfully installed" but I do not see any widgets in my program folder. So it will only work on fuze/VGA/6.5? device? I do have opera installed BTW.

i am assuming you have 6.5 on the vogue. did you install the "enable widgets wm6.5" cab before installing the widgets? This should work on any device as long as you are running 6.5

I am running 6.1. I should have figured that out. Thanks for the quick reply.

I wish we could zoom on the widgets and stuff so reading the text can be easier maybe someone can figure out how to add zooming to the widgets.

and the html looks like this:

<p>An error has occured.</p>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Changing the width and height just change how much is shown on the screen and not the font size (so zooming out just means there's dead space but the fonts don't change accordingly). Any ideas on how to zoom or how to add to the soft keys would be appreciated. Thanks

yeah i tried playing with the xml file and the htm file and changing the zoom in the htm but that did not really work.

[SOLVED] CommManager Button height

Hi everyone
I want to reduce the height of CommManager buttons in my Leo ROM so that I can use up to 9 buttns without scrolling! Any chance in reducing this hieght?
Which registry entries are responsible for that?

I never had this idea before, sounds... interesting but impossible too.

I am assuming it is hardcoded in dll!

Hmmm, that's in some way a little bit stupid but I have to live with it! Thanks anyway!

There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers!
keep it up... due to not interest in this idea, this will be closed.

Re-opened in case someone actually does come up with a 'workaround' in the future; also reduces creation of new threads regarding same topic.

It's simple.
Step 1: Resize these images to reduce the buttons height:
Code:
CM_Btn_Detail_Down_P.png
CM_Btn_Detail_Up_P.png
P_Button_Down.png
P_Button_Focus.png
Step 2: Modify this reg to adjust the function icons position, if your mod button height is too small, you must resize those icons:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\UISettings]
"list_icon_top_margin"=dword:3
I've done the modification just like what you need long time ago (9 buttons). Here's the right value for that:
- CM_Btn_Detail_Down_P.png, CM_Btn_Detail_Up_P.png --> 357x57
- P_Button_Down.png, P_Button_Focus.png --> 480x70
and "list_icon_top_margin"=dword:5
And the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Great stuff Cloudyfa! I made a package for the Kitchen (tested and working for me) perhaps useful for others

9 Button
Can anyone point where to find the 9 button comma manager with 3G for rhodium please. Unless there isnt one because of the beam option?

[Library] Floating Action Button from Android L on Kitkat and below

FABulous
So, Material Design is here and its beautiful. But wait. Its not here yet. And its not for everyone either. So while Google does its thing and squashes bugs and whatnot, why not give your pre-L apps a Material look? Making the ActionBar 56dp high is the most obvious way to go. But why not take it a step further and add the floating action button like the one that the Google+ app has? Too complicated? This library has got you covered. With just a few lines of code, FABulous allows you to add the button and customize its color and drawable too.
Download
https://github.com/FaizMalkani/FloatingActionButton
Instructions:
Place the FAB in a FrameLayout and add your layouts above the FAB view. For best results, keep the FAB height and width at 72dp and in the bottom right of the FrameLayout
Code:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!--
Your layouts here. Do not put anything below the FAB layout
-->
<com.faizmalkani.floatingactionbutton.sample.Fab
android:id="@+id/fabbutton"
android:layout_width="72dp"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp" />
</FrameLayout>
Initialize your FAB in your activity's onCreate()
Code:
Fab mFab = (Fab)findViewById(R.id.fabbutton);
Initialize your FAB in your activity's onCreate()
Fab mFab = (Fab)findViewById(R.id.fabbutton);
If needed, call the other methods of the FAB
Code:
mFab.hideFab();
mFab.showFab();
mFab.setAlpha();
mFab.setOnClickListener();

Nice one, what's holding this back from being used on pre jb devices?
Can Sherlock be used to solve some of the comparability dependencies?

Hi @Faiz Malkani
I managed to backport this to 2.1+, sources are here:
https://github.com/Quinny898/FloatingActionButton-Compat
Here's what the sample project looks like (not included, it's the same + AppCompat, which is complicated to add):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks Faiz!
One question: it auto-hides while scrolling the page? (the sample app doesn't let me be sure of that)

You can do something like this, with a scrollview or a list view if you like:

Replace the setVisibility calls with show and hide though

This app had it before them https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ee.ioc.phon.android.arvutaja

tho that button looks bad XD, google does copy a lot of stuff from different sources so dont worry bout it

this is probably a dumb question, but could somebody give me a easier tutorial on how to do this? i would really like to try it but i dont really understand how it should be done. im all new to android again after som years with crapple.
thanks in advanced

Thanks for the library, the sample apk looks great.
Importing in Android Studio (I tried many ways) I always have this error, looks like corrupted .png's
Someone else?

Try copying the FAB Class to your projects src.
Alternatively, if you can wait a few days, I'll be merging a pull request that adds Gradle support

great work

looks FABULOUS :laugh: using it in my next app .. thanks :good:

Idea
Hey, thank you for your effort. The FAB looks really good.
To further follow the new design guideline I would suggest that you extend your
Code:
setFabDrawable(Drawable fabDrawable)
method by one line.
Code:
public void setFabDrawable(Drawable fabDrawable)
{
Drawable myDrawable = fabDrawable;
mBitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) myDrawable).getBitmap();
[COLOR="Red"]mBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(mBitmap, dpToPx(24), dpToPx(24), true);[/COLOR]
invalidate();
}
This makes the fabIcon as big as it should be regardless the source.
Thanks anyways.

Thanks

For some reason I keep getting this error, although I think all files are in the right place..
"Rendering Problems The following classes could not be found:
-*com.faizmalkani.floatingactionbutton.Fab (Fix Build Path, Create Class)
Tip: Try to build the project. "
What could I do to fix this?

Thanks for your contribution.
But can you teach me how to import the class?
I have imported the jar but I can't use the Fab in .XML file.
There is no mistake but log told me that 1. com.faizmalkani.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton failed to instantiate
and 2. Paint.setShadowLayer is not supported...
So I need a hand. Can anyone help me?

I can test an apk if its ready. drop me a load don't be shy

It's working, it just doesn't render in the XML builder

It seems you completely miss to recycle the typed array with a try finally block in the constructor of your custom view.

Problem with Android Studio
Hey, thank you very much for this library, on eclipse all works fine, but in android studio, the little image in the floating action button doesn't display, this is a part of my xml layout file:
Code:
<com.faizmalkani.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fabbutton"
android:layout_width="72dp"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:onClick="fabClicked"
android:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_new"/>
All this is at the end of a framelayout, where is the error? Thank you in advance
Sorry for my bad english
