I instantly bought the pro version! it's amazing!

there's just one thing that could be better. if i touch outside of the bar, the bar disappears but the place where i touched is counted as click. could you prevent this from happening? like 'press anywhere else and only the bar disappers' ? i don't like this 'press anywhere else and it's a real click' thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Just swipe instead of click. Its what i do. Move your finger around
[Android Apps and Games] Sh4itan:
yes, so there it's no more a 'click', but it's still an interaction with the by sidebar overlayed application. it's just an idea, but for me it would be better if there's no possibility to interact with the application overlayed by sidebar. :fingers-crossed:

[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Oh thanks! That's awesome! Russian is cool.

I'll consider languages after the app gets more than 100,000 downloads.

As for mobile network toggle...i think adding that won't hurt. Good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] gkaravid:
I am using the holders, it gives more of a "unity" look to the sidebar and I like it. I won't cry though if you decide to dump them...

On my Atrix, latest sidebar version takes 13mb of ram only, just checked, it's really good job.

I thought that recent apps would literally be the recent apps used, kind like the phone does itself with the home button long press....I must admit that this what it does instead, showing which apps are running, is pretty good for me, I like it! :good:

Don't dumb this feature, swipe from the bottom, or even an object-rocket dock approach are both good ideas though.

Thanks for your good work and effort man! :highfive:

Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Hm i should just keep the holders and make settings longer...its all in a scrollview for a reason anyway...so yeah... I'll have to see.

And thanks! I might rename the recent apps feature to running apps.... Because that's literally what it is...
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:

Everyone I'd like you to meet the original Sidebar Beta!

Way back in January 27. No one knew about this except my friends at school :p It had a tab instead of edge swipe. Anyone want the apk?
[Android Apps and Games] Sh4itan:
this would be impressive!

PS: for me sidebar consumes 22mb RAM but this could be due to my custom jelly rom :D

Hi Mohammed, I'm a big fan of this app, after trying the others,I find yours the most eye pleasing and easy to use. Been following this thread, and seeing where this is going is really exciting.

On the subject of drag to rearrange, I'd like to bring this to your attention.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38100402

In this thread is a port of Xperia small apps. The taskswitcher.apk is a bar along the bottom and it has drag to rearrange the icons. Maybe it might help you get this onto your app, I don't know, as I'm no real dev myself. Also attached is a screen of it. Hope you can implement it, as I believe it will add the final polish to an awesome app

Second... this version from Play Market called 2.6.0.1. Now I try look at this one after device reboot... Yep, no shadow.

My device details: Sony stock rom .75 for Xperia P ICS, Xperia Yuga (Z) launcher port for all 2012 Xperias (I really forget the source), Framework modification for .54 ROM from Spaun_Studio, System UI from the same.

IMO if he puts in the functionality to add Shortcuts then this takes care of it for all launchers that have their app drawer as a shortcut publicaly available. Nova does, I used to use it in AOKP's custom navbar to launch the app drawer from any app.

Re: [TUT] The Ultimate Noob/Beginners Guide to Tasker

Okay I am trying to run the Recent apps bar via shell command but I'm not really getting a result. It isn't returning any errors if run as root but the sidebar also does not pop up.

shell cmd:

am startservice -n mohammad.adib.sidebar/mohammad.adib.sidebar.RecentAppsBar

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

That won't work...sidebar relies on Mark Wei's Standout Library to function. And to start the service you have to give it parameters and stuff that you cant do from the command line. Should I make a new app that has a bottom sidebar for running apps?

Btw, recent apps will be renamed to running apps.
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:

One thing that would pull me over the line would be support for a "Home" shortcut.. ie the soft equivalent of pressing the home button. Any chance of that?
[Android Apps and Games] eHawleywood:
Enjoying this app.. The ability to drag and drop or any other way to rearrange apps would be appreciated as well as an app drawer shortcut for getting to apps that aren't used often enough to warrant being in the sidebar..

Also, is there way to actually remove the notification and not just make the icon invisible? I hate seeing the "tap to configure" everytime I pull my notification drawer down
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:

[Android Apps and Games] BigJeff:
I'm finally starting to see what this app is, at first I was suggesting things such as recent apps, but that isn't really needed. A different app / stock android can handle that. This app isn't looking to replace android's framework, it's to add on a useful addition. The dev is doing a great job of that and I think he should stick with simplicity. Keep it up.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Yeah, and I am at a point where I can't remove the recent apps feature, so I renamed it to Running Apps.
[Android Apps and Games] BigJeff:
There's no harm in keeping it, I'm not saying that. I'm just trying to show everyone that this app doesn't really NEED more features. It just needs some fine tuning imho. Other than that it's great.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:

Can't get better than this.

Recent apps looks more IOSish but still nice idea.
[Android Apps and Games] Lt. Barclay:
+1 :good:

Why not keep the dropdown menu available when locked so you still have a way to add/remove icons without unlocking first. I think the main reason people wanted the lock feature was to get rid of the green plus and to prevent accidental swiping away of icons.
[Android Apps and Games] bigblueyeti:
I'm loving the work so far and still using the paid version on one side of the screen and the free on the other.

I would love it though if you could add the lock version to the free one, but I can understand if that's a feature you want to keep for the paid one only.

Any chance of maybe releasing a duplicate pro download that runs as a second instance available to people who have already bought the pro version. (unless of course you're considering the idea of allowing multiple sidebars in the one app, just using different trigger areas, I really hope this is a possibility)

Hi, the app is super awesome, I didn't even bother with the free version and went ahead and bought the PRO, it does very well the job it was intended for and all additions and updates are definitely welcome. My only request is "keep it simple" nobody likes a behemoth full of icons on the side of the screen, users can get a little carried away with requests, most of them silly.

Thanks for the hard work.

[Android Apps and Games] Rytt55:
Awesome App!

This is an awesome app! I also went and brought the Pro version last night. It cleaned up my home screen quite a bit! I got a a slight request :)

Would it be possible to add an "App Drawer" button? I'm using Apex Launcher and with this app, I removed the dock. It gives me a cleaner look on the home screen. However, my app drawer button now does not have a place to be! It's currently on my last home screen, app area.

If you can implement a way for us to use Apex's app drawer or a one that is made from you, that would be awesome! Then we can access our app drawer within programs.

Thanks for listening!

[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
I'm about to buy the pro version of this and Calendar++

ANYWAY, a suggestion for rearranging apps. You're the dev and I quit programming because it wasn't for me so you let me know if this is possible. Instead of a dragging and dropping option, why not do something similar to the way AOKP handles custom quick settings? Give it a sub menu that shows the apps you have added and let you rearrange it that way, then have it update the side bar when you hit save?

And back to the theme of the settings... the standard JB colors look nice (although I did like the black), but what would a Holo Light theme look like with a dark action bar?

And to the guy who wants a way to remove the notification icon, I'm pretty sure if you go to the your app settings and uncheck "show notifications" that it will be removed.

Another suggestion: can you make the app drawer icon open the settings instead of telling us where to swipe? If I remove the notifcation icon, then I can't access the settings if I want to make changes.

2. allow us to customize icons or either create themes or packs of icons ( billionaire idea lol ).

besides that i just love the app it's amazing.
