Hi all,
I want to know if it is possible to make a list control, or any control for that matter, transparent?
I have placed a bitmap as a background of one of my apps dialogs. I can write text to it transparently but i cant get the list control to be transparent..
Can anyone help me with this?
Cheers

Here you'll find a Photoshop file with basically all screen elements of the TF3D HD manila interface present.
Unless I've missed something all icons/button/etc are present except for the weather section. I've only included the main icons there so you can put your flag on the moon..
If somebody feels like mapping out every raindrop like in this psd file, please let me know so I can update the file
The bmp files of the photo and video sub menu's are present as well.
These will go in the windows directory.
I plan to add the blackstone dialer .. but am not sure it's that much needed.
The main idea was to map out the Manila files.
I've build it from itjes Full HD cab for the X1. As far as I know it should work for all other touch HD manila setups..
import/export
I've used the mode9editor to extract all png's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3095189&postcount=1
The mode9editor has a batch import/export function.
When you use the layer names in the PSD file you're able to batch import all icons you'll change.
Transparency
Most icons will have either a red pixel line border or at least 2 red pixels at the corners.
This way you can select the alpha channel of the layer, crop your image and have to correct dimensions for the png/qtc file.
All you then need to do is remove the red pixel before saving.
For 99.9% of the images you can do it by a color select unless your new theme will be red
Buttons
All buttons that have a press and rest stage have been linked to each other and put on top of each other. In the corresponding layer you'll notice this soon enough
Tiny pixel files
There are a few images that are 1x1 or 2x2 pixels. These are present and I've tried to make all layers in logic order to be easy to find.
Some pixels are 100% transparent and therefor red which was easier to find
Batch PSD export
There is need to find or create a photoshop action that will:
- select layer
- crop by alpha selection
- remove red pixel
- export by layer name
- repeat this process for all layers
If there's anyone out there that can help me make such an action please do. As I have limited experience in advanced photoshop actions
All suggestions and help (especially with the photoshop actions) are welcome!
With a little help this can be an easy automated template for our own redesigning fetish

Would like it for someone to try the mp3 player on the touch HD.
Please check the upper thread for the zip file and let me know if it works there.
thanks allot!
I'm writing a simple todo list app but I'm not very creative in UI designing. I've created a basic view/edit screen for my tasks which works great, but looks very basic. Can someone please suggest a better interface? I'd be very thankful if someone can design a layout, but even if someone can draw me a layout screen in paint, it'll do for me.
A "task" in my app will have following properties:
- Task Name
- Project Name
- Priority (can be represented as color too)
- Due date (it can be a date or none)
- Done date (it can be a date or none)
- Note
Screenshot and layout files are attached. Thanks much!

Nope and new update released if anyone wants to give it a go. New features:
- To-do support w/ privacy options for password protection
- Priorities - Prioritize notes, to-do's, to-do tasks
- Sorting through notes, to-do's, tasks will remember your preference
- Attach To-do's to notes
- Tagging & tag sorting. From the sort menu you can choose the sort by tags option and a list will be presented with all tags you've entered and choosing one will display all notes/todo's with that tag.
I will try this out
-Downloaded, have some suggestions
Ability to change font size
I love the sketch feature. When attaching though, it would be nice to have a preview image like the one for an attached Image. (Instead of having to hit the tiny "attached sketch" link
Will add more as I use this over the next few days.
i'll check it out.
push to evernote/db?
EDIT:
Tried to add To Do List to homescreen shortcut...
"Sorry!
The application Loading... It may several minutes to complete, please wait (process.com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
EDIT II (the sequel):
same thing when trying to More>New Note Shortcut from main screen
EDIT III (the sequel returns):
lol it put them all on my first homescreen. i have 4, the default homescreen is 2
i'd like to be able to change the text color to black. other than that, i really like it so far!

That should be easy enough to add. BTW, there is a font option in the main screen menu though it doesn't change the size but rather the reverts to default android font which actually looks bigger.

For some reason HTC sense always seems to pose a problem for me lol. On the emulator, n1, and galaxy s w/ cyanogenmod I have none of those issues. BTW, which font color are you referring to. The brownish one?
I tried it. Looks pretty nice, the style, color and font! The Add to statusbar option is nice.
Bug: Add To-Do option FC's.
"Request": I would say an "Add a new note" button at the bottom of notes list would be useful

I think I'm keeping it until I see the first ad popup.
Common task shortcut buttons on the main screen would be more user friendly then having to go through the menus

Hey folks,
I have been into this app which has a lot to do with calendar and dates.
I am still confused about the libraries available for it, I will be requiring the calendar to have following features:
- The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN
- The boxes of month should have specific colors according to the events of that particular day, eg: red for urgent issues, green for vacation and so on
- The boxes should also have ICONS like weather updates for that particular date
- A LIST VIEW of the calendar will also be needed
If anyone has seen any which can accommodate these features, do let me know.
Cheers
Alex
Hey Alex,
for me, these seem more like programming issues, rather than library ones.
For the first one (The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN) implementing a gesturedetector is the best way to go Imo.
The other three are simple coding issues, like setting backgrounds, drawables and implementing a listview.
As a tip, you should check out a library we made called "CalendarWrapper" (sorry, I can't yet post links, search for it on GitHub). Basically it's a wrapper around the CalendarProvider, so there's no need to mess around with cursors, everything can be done with object methods. It lacks a few features though.
I don't think there are any ready to use libraries with these specific features, so I'm afraid you will have to build it yourself. There are a few date picker / time picker dialogs floating around, or android-times-square from Square, but you'll have to look into extending it with the specific features like image overlay support for the weather/icon.
caldroid
Have a look at caldroid, it does not have all the functions you seek but is very customizable.
Since you are asking for too much in one library, you will have to do a lot of coding on top of any library that you choose.
thankx
Thankx guys, CalendarWrapper did give me something to look into but caldroid has almost done the job for me.
I have finished the bulk of the job with caldroid now it is printing images inside the dates and list view left.
I do know where to start for list view but printing icons inside boxes could be tricky
Will update you guys when I am done with the APP and put it on play store.
Cheers
