hey, i seen you added the option to add shortcuts which is awesome, but i can't find the option to add the app drawer from apex launcher. it has three options for apex launcher, one that takes you to the home screen, one that takes you to apex settings, and one that puts the pro icon on the bar but doesn't do anything. am i missing something?

Thanks to the creator of SidePanel, it's open source so I looked at the code and found great stuff for running apps.

This may or may not make a huge difference to Sidebar.

What if at the end of the list, the running apps were shown? And if already pinned to the Sidebar, it would have a glow showing that it is running just like the Windows taskbar. That to me sounds amazing.

Development Sneak Peak

Running apps shown at the bottom of the list (below the line) ? Just like ubuntu or windows taskbar. Will have running indicators too (soon). The bar that separates the two entities (pinned apps and running apps) changes color (white or black) based on Sidebar's average background RGB color.

This will be an option that will be by default OFF

It still needs swipe to remove that app from running apps though. I'm working on that :eek:

Oh yeah and the running apps code was taken straight from SidePanel (open source Sidebar app). Thanks to dev.

Pre-Update sneak peak (version 4.0)

Sidebar's multitasking just got a whole lot better.

Running Apps:

When enabled (by default disabled) Running apps will be shown on the Sidebar under the apps & widgets that are already pinned.

Running Indicators:

When enabled (by default disabled) A small blue triangle will indicate if an app is running.

Pretty awesome update huh? Once again

thanks to the SidePanel dev

for inspiring this idea.

You can also show just running apps (with or without running indicator) by locking the sidebar with no pinned apps or widgets.

Great work with the recent apps! :good:

One idea, you ever find spare time from adding new features is a battery widget. It would be the one thing that would really set this apart from other apps (it's already much better but this would make it a lot better in my eyes) It's the one thing I would love to see. Even just to have the percentage of the battery remaining would be great! Again it's not important just an idea if you have time.

Keep up the great work! One of the best devs out!

Even if it takes a while to "get it right", It's great to see you being so active and excited with development. Get around to adding manual icon sorting someday (which I think you will), and it'll be a 6 star app. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BigJeff:
I like it. swipe away to kill the one's bellow the pinned apps. For pinned apps that are running, you'll need the icon in pinned and down below in the running sections, that way you can swipe to kill it, without unpinning it.

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

I suppose it may depend on whether you can supply a logcat from when it goes wrong. I don't think this is a big issue, almost non existent. Are you running a custom ROM?

Have you got the app set to auto update, as you never to manually start the app after an update, and there have been a few recently.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Thats a possibility. I am changing the way Sidebar works insternally. So this maybe a possibility in the future.

One app I've used recently is Logcat Extreme in the market. You start it, wait for the sidebar to stop, go back to LE and save the log. Upload the log to a service and link to it here. Paste in is useful for sharing logs.

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

I have a suggestion...

I think the recent apps page/bottom bar should not have the scrolling bar showing. I think it would actually be way better if it was paginated (think of iOS' task manager when they double tap the home button) instead.

Also, sometimes, two of the same app come up in the recent apps page for me.

another "cosmetic" thing -

if i check running apps and uncheck running indicator, the icons of running apps are bigger than the icons of the pinned apps.

[Android Apps and Games] ShaneAR:
I really like this update. Good job. :good:

One thing I noticed, though:

If you remember my first post a few pages back, I was wanting Sidebar to remember where I was in the app when I switched back to it rather than opening a new task and going to the app's main page. I've since discovered that it does it for some apps, but not for others. A couple examples that don't are Gmail and the Play Store.

That still exists in today's update with a confusing exception: If I have the app "pinned" to Sidebar, it acts as above. However, if I unpin it and let it show up in the new running apps section of Sidebar, and access it there, it remembers my previous position. If you can somehow incorporate that behavior into our pinned apps, that would be perfect. Otherwise, I'm accessing Android's "recents" menu which defeats the purpose (for me) of having a launcher like this installed.

I thought that's what you were going after with this update, and why I upgraded to pro, maybe I misunderstood.

Still a good app and great work. :)
