Hmm, switching apps resets it :confused:

See attached...
[Android Apps and Games] humnar:
Thank you so much
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
Wow! Your support is much appreciated! :)

Good to know it works as intended. Also about the thickness, if it's not too much trouble, can you send me two screenshots of the Bar, before charger plugged in and after charged plugged in. So that I can see what kind of thickness difference does it make.

I have been requested for it for a while now, but the option may end up messing up the UI. Users have a wide range of tastes. If I enable such an option, a simple solid color for charging status would not do, there will be definitely requests to have a wide range of color options, so that will be like all the different color configuration enabled for charging status as well. Anyways, I will look into it in future. :)

Thank you! :)

Yes, definitely wish to provide more options/power in color customization in future. As of now, you can make use of the last tab in color selection dialog, it's a color 'history' tab. Whenever you select a new (single) color, it gets added to the history of colors.

You're welcome! :)

[MENTION=7592763]Taivotat2[/MENTION], [MENTION=3763534]domsch1988[/MENTION] Whenever Energy Bar refreshes (battery is depleted by 1%) it jumps on top of all other overlays. So, the sequence of different overlay Apps doesn't help much. Even if I make it stay low whether update/no update, Energy Bar will require a hard refresh when you rotate your device to reflect the change in screen size.

I will consider an offset option, but no promises as of now.

Guys, we recently crossed 1,000,000+ downloads! Thanks everybody!

If you use the App please leave a review/rating on Play Store!
[Android Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Thanks for the reply. Is there any chance that you store values ikn xml or other file that maybe I can have a script change my color values when I plug/ unplug? This would make it able to have different color without you going through trouble of adding more code. In any case good job and thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Oyster Smiling:
Sure thing. It's subtle, but it happens. Less subtle when using a thicker bar.
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
The values can't be changed externally as of now, sorry!

Ah, indeed, I do see a subtle difference, I initially thought the transparency change created an illusion of change in thickness. Can you send me again the two screenshots at a much higher thickness setting? Say 20+ ?
[Android Apps and Games] fishtacos:
Hi, I love your app, but one thing that would help greatly would be a second bar (i.e.: a one or two pixel black line below the coloured gradient line). I love the gradient feature but often find it hard to see lighter segments against a light-colour app.

Is this possible for a future update? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Shark5060:
If I setup the bar as 1px and charge the phone only the charging animation is visible and the whole bar vanishes.

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] beez1717:
So I just updated to the Android O beta on my pixel and now I can't pull down the notification shade with it enabled. Good thing I have the option to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to open it. This needs to be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] DanieVDM:
I've just experienced the identical issue on my Nexus 6P with Energy Bar. If I struggle a good few times on the far right I get the notification bar down. Disabling Energy Bar and everything works fine. I tried disabling its overlay access and enabling it again, but no luck.
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
HI! Thank you! :)

I am not too sure how a secondary bar would fit elegantly into the current way of how Energy Bar works. Adding such a Bar would require additional customisation, separate color config for the Bar etc. Which may end up not benefiting all the users in general. But I will keep a note of it, will see if I can do something about it.

While charging, the Energy Bar is made a bit transparent. If Energy Bar was already configured to be transparent then during charging it becomes more transparent. That might be the reason why it looks almost invisible to you. I will try to put a limit on transparency in a future version.

That's weird. I have heard couple of Android O users report that there is a persistent notification (which can be removed from System's notification settings) but nothing about not being able to pull the drawer. Which mode of Energy Bar are you on 'Normal' or 'Status Bar' ? I do not have any device which is capable of running Android O as of now. So your further feedback will be really helpful.

It is possible that Android O changed something such that Energy Bar is picking up touch input and as a result you are not able to pull the Notification drawer. Try to swipe down Notification drawer from a point which is below Energy Bar but yet on the System's status bar, see if that works.
[Android Apps and Games] Shark5060:
Ah alright, yeah I've set it up to be 50% transparent, that would explain why I can't see it anymore against my background.

Thanks for the explanation.
[Android Apps and Games] trock79:
I have an issue where I could not get the bar to show all of a sudden. I uninstalled then reinstalled but cannot get it to work again. I now get toast error.
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
The issue is related to 3rd party floating Apps which don't cooperate with the Android bug. All you have to do is disable all other Accessibility Services and make sure all type of floating Apps is turned off (example: floating chat heads, screen dimmer etc.) And then you can enable Energy Bar.

Fortunately, when it comes to activating other Apps/services while Energy Bar is active, you will not face any issue due to Energy Bar, as it cooperates with the system. :)

Thoughts on new type of Energy Bar

Hey Guys! I have been thinking of this new type of Energy Bar (please check attachments), where it could have some beautiful patterns. May be provide an option to add your own image/pattern or purchase a specially designed one for extremely small fee from a small store inside the App.

Let me know what you think of it. The challenge here would be to make the graphic art universal, meaning it should work well with a large tablet in landscape mode to a small phone screen, any thoughts on that?
[Android Apps and Games] Floydfire:
Seems a wonderful idea the only part I don't like much are having in app purchase for "themes" , I think that you should keep it simple, not too much complicated graphics art..
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
Thank you for the feedback. I am thinking on the lines that the actual ability to setup a custom image for Energy Bar will be available as part of the 'Support Dev Pack'. A user would be able to create their own themes. In addition to that, there will be custom themes available for purchase. Certainly, I would like to not setup a free theme store where a new theme is created and uploaded every week, that will create unnecessary expectations, plus consistent work and time input from my side - which I need to distribute among other Apps and works.

Again, it's just a rough idea I wanted to put it out there to gauge the interest. May or may not work on it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] domsch1988:
Concerning in app "stores": Google is rather strict on not allowing those on playstore (see magisk manager). I would happily pay per in-app purchase for the ability to use this feature. A store might get the app deleted by Google...
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
Hi! Thank you for your concern. By in app store, I just meant a section/page in the App where you can browse through available custom themes and can purchase via the Google's in-app purchase dialog. :)
[Android Apps and Games] domsch1988:
I'm not sure on this. With magisk it was also only a list of installable modules with update function. Even without payment...
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
The latest Google Play Policy requires that no App should download additional piece of code that is hosted in some 3rd party server and extend itself (this is different than Apps have expansion package hosted within Google Play.) I haven't checked the particular App yet but, if the install-able modules are additional piece of code which is downloaded and used to expand the functionality of the App, then this might be the very reason that the App was removed from Play Store.

In our case, that won't be a problem, because no additional code will be downloaded form elsewhere, just some graphical resources. Should be just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeblodS:
Hello.

I love this app, bought the pro version this weekend.

One thing, can you make it possible to have a black background with a Normal bar? It's possible with the Status bar, but I prefer the Normal bar with about 10px on the top of the screen.

That way the bar will blend with the black top bezel of the screen, it will be more readable in any circumstances (especially with white, green or red background.... sometimes it impossible to differentiate the bar from the background...)
[Android Apps and Games] Taivotat2:
Hi jagan2. For example it could work like omni headers? And maybe changing during the day? Nice idea. What u think? Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] klear6:
Great! But a conflict...

Love the app. I am having trouble keeping it above "Status" (app) status bar on bot HTC One m10 with Viperten and Galaxy tab S2 Marshmallow. I know its because they are both insisting on being on top of each other, but is there anything you can do to make it override "Status"? I left a comment on the google plus community for status but the developer is pretty busy lately. I keep having to relaunch it and switch it to status bar mode and then back to the top bar to get it to show up. Not the end of the world but a bit of a hassle. Oh, and could you make the animations cycle a bit faster? I am charging while using my phone a lot and its hard to see the difference in effects on a center oriented bar when the animations repeat as slowly as they do. Just an idea. Keep up the good work! And dont rename it. Energy bar is good.

Good :good:

This is what I looking for. Like Resurrection Remix battery indicator .

Since I use Nitrogen OS on RN3 SD there is no this indicator when I use RR :D

Thank you very much, Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] schlager P.:
hi all! I reinstalled firmware for my sm-g930f because I messed something up, but while the service for energy bar kept switched on on a custom rom it won't with stock. I suspect it has to do with greenify but I whitelisted it but still it keeps turning off, had greenify on custom rom too, and no problems then. why (what info do you need to look into it?)
[Android Apps and Games] ZeblodS:
I noticed that after a few hours, the refresh of the bar takes a few seconds. For instance when I switch to landscape mode in an app, the line takes a few seconds to adjust to the correct size... It ruins the experience a little...
[Android Apps and Games] ornwilson:
Thank you for the great app [MENTION=1884109]jagan2[/MENTION] and for offering a "support dev pack" !

I have a humble suggestion to better indicate when the device is charging:

Reduce the number of static flashes of the animation before the slide movement repeats, or allow the number to be customized. on EB_6.3.2_beta, it flashes 11 times before sliding again, making it difficult to tell if device is charging.

I would personally set this to 1 flash only, but of course everyone is different :)
[Android Apps and Games] petersonik:
Good

And what about blinking LED on locked screen ?
[Android Apps and Games] schlager P.:
now I'm on "the galaxy project" rom, same problem! Switched off battery optimization still problem persists

-edit- I uninstalled greenify but it still shuts down, so it's not greenify
[Android Apps and Games] schlager P.:
is there a way to get a refund, I tried again and again to ask for help, but no answer

I don't want to write a bad review in play store, so I'm trying here
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
READ ME

You need to provide more info than that. Possibly logs where we see why the app gets shut down. Other than that DEV cannot help with that little information
[Android Apps and Games] ZeblodS:
The idea behind the app is good, I like the customization available. But it doesn't work properly, it act badly after a few hours. So I had to stop using it, even though I have the paid version... Bad investment.

Xposed with GravityBox is less customizable, but at least it works flawlessly...
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
"Doesnt work properly" "act badly"... can you please try using android descriptions? Lags? Doesnt show? Doesnt move? Disappears?

Any logs present?

You know, because this is XDA-Developers site, where we try to report to debug issues. It is not playstore where you purchase and move on... Please try to help development instead of acting... noobish
[Android Apps and Games] ZeblodS:
My previous message in this thread...

At first the app works fine, but the more the time goes, the more the app takes time to update the bar.

After a few days, when you switch the orientation of the phone (to landscape for instance) the bar takes more than 10 seconds to refresh its display and adjust correctly to the new orientation.

I don't have log because I honestly don't know what to log for this issue...
[Android Apps and Games] schlager P.:
I asked for what logs needed, no reply

I told my problem, no reply

and I do realize paying an app is rewarding the dev but I expect to be paying for something that works (or at least some guidance how to solve)

so, once again ('cause reading up is not for you I guess),what logs are needed?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Lagging mostly would mean RAM issues. But we have no info about your device, its RAM or battery optimizations at all...

Just simple logs where we can see the "force close" or "dying" of service. If you dont know, just use matlog app from playstore for logging.

And... from what I recall, S7 has both RAM and battery optimizations in SMART manager. You said you switched off "battery optimizations". But did not mention anything about "RAM" optimizations. Clear that information up.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeblodS:
LeEco Pro3 with stock rom, but with the built-in greenify kind of manager disabled. I have 6GB of RAM, so it's probably not the issue. Every other app don't lag on this phone, I have no issue with app being killed or notifications missing... The only issue is with this Energy Bar app.

I also tried using Memory Locker app to keep the highest OOM_adj priority on Energy Bar process (-17), but it act exactly the same.

Note that using GravityBox for almost the same battery bar (but with solid color instead of gradiant) works perfectly even after several days.
[Android Apps and Games] schlager P.:
-edit- I decided to give up bickering, consider it as a well

deserved gift although it isn't working here, I admire the hours put into this

ok, it stopped while screen was off so don't know when by the time I woke up the device (like 30 min. later) the log was so massive I couldn't upload it, because it happens so randomly can't get a good log, will try for another one. And what's this "ram management", don't know it and can't find it.

Suggestion to add visual breaks in the bar

Hi,

EnergyBar is a great App, I've been purchasing it today. I have one suggestion:

Because I removed the Battery-icon and the percentage value on my status line, I would like to have the possibility to 'break' the drawed line for example every 10 or 20 percent. Theoretically can be this done by creating different segments, but the segment size is 2 Percent, and by drawing this programatically, the breaks could be easier to define.

What do you think about?
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
Update, for the sweetness of Oreo! ( EB_6.3.3_BETA )

Hey Guys, a quick update for those who are on Android 8.0 Oreo. It's more of a hotfix than a regular update, so expected translations contributed by the community to be added in some other future version.

#1 Added support for Android 8.0 Oreo.

#2 If you have faced "Permission denied" issue, this version should resolve it.

#3 On Android Oreo, in Status Bar mode, pulling down Notification bar wasn't possible, it's fixed now.

Download EB_6.3.3_BETA from Google Play Store. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kr_ke:
Not really, as you can see on the screenshot, I have to put 2 Percent gaps between the segments manually. It is somewhat hard, to get the correct percent-steps, and I simply want to habe breaks, between the segments, to better estimate the battery level.
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
One of the original idea behind having a Merged Segments color configuration was to clearly define the different battery level zones using different colors and the ability to have a quick look and know how soon your battery level is going to deplete to the next zone.

If you have 4 different colors for 4 different zones (0-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100,) I don't see why creation of this gap between the zones would be required, the difference in colors themselves indicate a clear separation between two zones.

In your example configuration, if you make 5 segments of 20% each, with different colors, why would you require this 2 percent gap? If a feature's function is redundant I would like to avoid implementing and further complicating the UI and the set-up. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kr_ke:
I can fully understand your motives as a developer, Keep it small and simple! What I originally wanted (in contrast to my current configuration) is a simple thin white line. It should not distract from the other symbols in the Status-bar. But configuring 10% steps seemed to complicated for a lazy person like me :D ... I hoped, that adding gaps programmatically eases this process and leads to a better recognizable battery level (As you can see, that I have switched of the battery symbol and the percentage value). I want to keep my status-line as simple as possible too!

As you may see on my screenshot, defining very light colors is a bit problematic, because of the white foreground on a white background :) Maybe you can use a darker foreground in this cases ...

Anyway thank you for your rapid answers,

Klaus
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
A single white line with gaps would be a very specific customisation, unfortunately I would have to ask you to rely on segmentation mechanism to create the gap as you showed in the screenshot, since it's a one time set-up for you, pretty sure any amount of laziness will still result in your desired configuration in no time. :D :)
[Android Apps and Games] kr_ke:
ok, accepted.

But could you then accept a minimum segment length of one percent?

And please fix the foreground color of the percentage for very light segments. White foreground on white background is too hard to read! :)
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
May be in one of the future version.
[Android Apps and Games] Shark5060:
Would it be possible to add an option to hide the bar completely on the lock screen?
[Android Apps and Games] NovaViper:
I have a suggestion for the app. I I would like to have compatibility added for the Status app (status bar customization app) when using the full status type energy bar.
[Android Apps and Games] klear6:
Gotcha

Erm, sorry, I'm not used to the layout for the site, but how do I properly quote someone?

Anyways, Dev said,

"

Now, regarding the issues you're facing, as you have correctly identified, both the Apps insist to be at the very top. I am afraid, Energy Bar can't communicate with 3rd party Apps to show some compatibility with each other. The general idea is that, the most recently added Overlay Window stays at the top most layer. But then, if there is an active App, which redraws itself every now and then, then naturally this other App will jump to top time to time.

Energy Bar monitoring whether it's on the top most layer would be a very expensive task on CPU, which would go against the philosophy of displaying the battery level and not consuming it. Hope that clarifies.

Here is a thing about animations, they are expensive on CPU, even sometimes on a high end phone. The reason is that, unlike a regular App, Energy Bar overlays on top of whatever is being shown on the screen, this adds additional computation on the system.

The result is that, if the you play something designed to look fast, in many devices it would end up looking choppy or using a lot of CPU. The current styling is aimed to create a balanced animation. Providing an option to reduce the time of an animation cycle may sound like a good idea, but when users on some devices find that they do not see the fast animation they expect, they may be disappointed. And that becomes a hassle to explain every user, especially through Play Store reviews."

Totally understandable. Solved it by just relaunching it every once in awhile, toggling it on and off in accessibility, doesn't take long and doesn't need to be done often since the other guy got finished with vacation or whatever he was doing and started updating status again. I had contacted him about this also. I am also planning on asking him to make status have an option to move it down a couple of pixels thus making room for energy bar and then this wont be a problem at all. I need to reset my phone. Not having anything to do with this. It just keeps turning off my alarm and notification noises. Just thought I'd mention that in case anyone has any ideas. Anyways, great job and good luck, keep up the good work and I'll keep you posted about bugs and such. =]
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Is there a possibility to remove the Android O notification that says Energy Bar is overlay over another app.
[Android Apps and Games] DocteurN:
Long press the notification and uncheck it.
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Thank you !!! [emoji106]
[Android Apps and Games] baloor:
Any update on what will become of this app with Google's recent accessibility change requirements.
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
Yes, but I don't see a merit in adding such an option, would like to avoid it unless there is a good use case demanded many many. Currently many users wish that Energy Bar appeared on Lock screen while it's in Status Bar mode. A lot of users have different tastes, wouldn't be possible to accommodate every single customization in settings and clutter it, I hope you understand.

Hi! It's technically not possible to merge Energy Bar with a 3rd party App, especially not in Status Bar type.

Indeed, the App will no longer rely on Accessibility Service, check my next update.
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
What's new in EB_6.3.5_BETA?

The App now relies on 'Notification Access' rather than the powerful & sensitive Accessibility Service, to be alive forever.

Upgrading from a previous version?

Click the activation switch, enable Notification Access even if you see the Bar already active.

On some devices, you may have to enable the App in 'Auto-start Apps' settings to survive a phone reboot.

Expect 0 mAh battery consumption. :D

Download now from Google Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] DocteurN:
Just installed on my Pixel 2 XL but still asking to activate the accessibility service at first launch. I skipped it and and activate notification access instead within the main app window.
[Android Apps and Games] baloor:
Excellent. Working fine with the new notification access.
