Android studio

Very nice work, Will sure try it. Now a days google is emphasizing to use android studio. Can you add simple tutorial for same in android studio?

I have installed Android studio and want to continue to this thing for my icon

pack

Regards
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Android Studio is similar to Eclipse actually and you should be able to import your work into it. There are many tutorials on the internet that show you how to do this, especially on YouTube.
[Android Themes] ANKIT RAWAT:
Thank you!

I am using Android Studio. ActionBarSherlock is supposed to be added as a library module to the template application. For this I must import the template into the Studio before the ActionBarSherlock library. But it won't let me do that as there is some dependency issue that needs ActionBarSherlock before the template is imported. Is there a way to make this work ?

Can someone please combine the ABS module and the main Template into one unit and then upload it ?? It would a great help for the studio users like me.

Cloud based wallpapers ?

Can anyone tell me how to implement cloud based wallpapers ? Do I need a github account for that ?
[Android Themes] Alex_R3CONN3R:
Hez Blaze! I'm the dev of this tool https://github.com/Alex-R3CONN3R/AppGetter I thought you might be interested in adding it to your template. If I can help you with that you can contact me here or preferably on hangouts. You can find my g+ on the github profile. Greets Alex
[Android Themes] Blaze:
okay sir.. I will give it a try...
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Yes yes yes. Alex + blaze + tung = epicness
[Android Themes] Blaze:
;)

He he.. thanks.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You're awesome. Thanks for your great template. I've been trying it out. Great stuff. :good:

I agree with this comment! :victory:
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Having a hard time to get some features working.. phew..
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Ask Alex_R3CONN3R...He should be able to help you out and it might save you some time. :)
[Android Themes] muzicfreako:
Thanks for your generosity. Nice, clean, easy to use template!!!

Please carry on improving the template when you can!
[Android Themes] Blaze:
[MENTION=5009160]Alex_R3CONN3R[/MENTION], since your tool is for 4.0+, I thought of integrating it with the template of 1dynasty. And after about 3 hours, i got it working now. Now i was just wondering if it is ok to release it or not. I think i must take permission for @1dynasty.
[MENTION=2634634]vanessaem[/MENTION], thanks for all the supports.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I'm sure he won't mind if you give him proper credit. In fact, he'd probably love it if you were able to include the icon request app or app grabber. I can't wait to see the template. Thanks for your hard work. Really appreciate it. :good:
[Android Themes] Alex_R3CONN3R:
Of course you're allowed to publish :good: That's what I made it for ^^
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Okay. I will ask him once and upload it tomorow. I am too tired today to do it. I have to get up at 4:30 am tomorrow and go to college.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I think a link to his original work and credit to him is sufficient but it's up to you. ;)

Have a good night.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Blaze has done the impossible! Yayyy

Look up the1dynasty template and you will see his google + page. He is more responsive there. Or I can pass on the word for you
[Android Themes] Blaze:
It will be great if you can pass the word and ask for his permission. Due to my slow internet nothing loads up properly on g+. Still I will try
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Done :)

His reply:

I forget how to allow others to push commits to github... If you have this template base with just that feature added, I can update the template with it... Just send me the files and I'll push the update with credit where it's due...﻿
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Guys.. Check out the second reserved post for the new template.. :)
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Just a heads up Sir that you linked to the wrong Alex. He has two n not two o. And may you post a screenshot? I've made a lot of personal changes to the template so I'd just like to see how much it going to need to change again.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
OOps.. Sorry for that typo.. I have rectified it and added ss in the second post.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Nice. And wow your template is quite a bit different! Can't wait to try it out
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Hope you will like it..
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I'm glad you were able to get everything together.

The template works great except it no longer supports Holo Launcher. That has always been an issue with the1dynasty's template. He's aware of the issue and I've talked to him about it. I'm not sure if you can fix that? It's up to you. I really do appreciate your efforts. I can't state that enough. ;)
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
I'm sure Blaze will fix it.. He always tries to give his best.. :D
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Did the original template support holo? I know it has the option but I've never tested it
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Yes :)
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Hm... imported the project, changed it to 4.4.2 and added support but I have the red exclamation mark... [MENTION=5139401]Blaze[/MENTION], if possible, could you compile template2 and upload it so people can try it out before building? We could also make a list of what is different between that and the1dynasty's original template.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
What specific error message are you getting?
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
no "x" anywhere. Just the exclamation mark on the project folder. I added ABS too so I don't know what is going on... maybe PM me?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Gotta pic or perhaps send a pic of what you're seeing? Are you sure there isn't a warning or errors somewhere? Perhaps in your console or error log?
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
I've tried changing the last line in the manifest as com.blaze.iconpack but that didn't work either

Edit: tried building and it said "project 'Template2' is missing required library: \actionbarsherlock'
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Try right clicking on your project. Go to Properties. Choose Android on the left site. On the right a you can see list of Android API versions. Choose the proper version (Android API 19). Click Apply then OK.

If you don't see the proper version go to Windows then to Android SDK Manager and download Android API 19 (Android 4.4.2). Then repeat the steps above.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
I've already done that :/

More screenshots posted below
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I'm sure you did this but when you added the ABS, did you click apply then ok?
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
yes. I also tried cleaning project and restarting eclipse. Then I deleted everything and tried again 3 times. Under properties, java build path, libraries, it shows that acitionbarsherlock is missing. But looking in my previous icon pack, that wasn't even in the library section

Edit: do we import this as existing code or existing project?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Are you using the correct files? My actionbarsherlock looks like what's attached.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
I added from the attachment below. I refractored it to ABS_4.4.0 because that was what the1dynasty did in his tutorial. It worked with my older build that way. And should I import this project as existing code or project?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Existing project
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
readded actionbarsherlock and left the name as is. It seems to get me somewhere as the "!" is now an x. Screenshot below

Edit: you can ignore me now... reselected build automatically because the bin wasn't there. no errors as of now. time to retheme the whole pack :D. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Lol... no problem. :)
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
ugh I imported as existing code. and did you test your build already? Tried using icon request on mine and it crashed... If it worked for you, might I ask what the request sends? Is it tung's where it is the activities and list or is it alex's where it's the xml and icons?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I used import from existing project and the template will email a zip containing the app icon pngs and the activities xml.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
what android version are you using? and what is the resolution of the icons? I think this method is great, but the only thing I'm concerned about is the icons not being hd. In that case I'd actually prefer the old way of getting the activities and finding the icons myself
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
4.4.2

The icons are only 144px but you can always find your own icons. However, some people have apps that are not found in the Play Store and/or apps with icons that you can't really find on the internet. I also like that the xml activities within the file, are neatly organized.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
I was stupid and forgot to change the activity name. It works now :D. And 144px is perfect as that is what I used. Before the request gave 72 by 72 which wasn't as good. The ideal method I guess would be to somehow save all the 300 by 300 icons from apps that are on the play store. That would just be epic..
[Android Themes] Blaze:
the fact is that holo launcher does not supports direct apply of icon packs. I will try to direct the button to holo launcher settings...
[Android Themes] Blaze:
oh. okay. I will upload the apk today... there has been so much discussion in the thread. and I was sleeping the while time..
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I know it doesn't but mapping to it's settings is good enough. I just can't have an app that doesn't support Holo yet my icon pack does support it. This is one of the reasons why I never bothered with the1dynasty's template even though I really liked the look and functionality of it.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
actually the apply icon pack section in 1dynasty's template uses some kind of popup which shows the list of the icons. I will be trying to add a new layout instead. check out next launcher. it also gives the same notification as it does with holo. I will definitely try to do a workaround with this.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I'm actually going to take the Next Launcher button out of my template and try to put another launcher in its place or leave it out completely.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
is there any way I can get one more reserved post in this thread?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You can either report your thread and put in a request or I can make a request to a senior mod.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
okay. I will do it.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Not that I can do it, but is anyone able to put this project on github? The development here is really great, but it will take a while to see all the changes. Github allows you to see which specific sections were modified. If not, then blaze, may I request that you leave the previous builds up so we can winmerge the changes?
[Android Themes] Blaze:
unm. I didn't get u. what is meant by giving up the previous builds? I have no idea about github.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
if you look at this for example it will show you what has changed with the new update so you can easily copy/paste/delete the stuff, which is much easier than redoing each update. As we are both very confused with github, I'm just asking that you keep a link up of the older builds (if you update), so we can use winmerger to see what is new. Just a suggestion :)
[Android Themes] Blaze:
ok. I understand. u want me to keep the older version too when I upload a newer template. okay. I got it.
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
awesome!! i like seeing other people take the template i put together and modifying it themselves instead of asking me to add the stuff they want... mine was designed as only a base for themers to get a head start!!! nice work!
[Android Themes] joeyhuab:
If I may ask, which phone was used for the screenshots? :D Thanks and more power to the template!
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
Moto G was used to take the screenshots.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You've inspired us all. :p

Sent live from my N5
[Android Themes] Blaze:
u are the inspiration sir.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Just a warning to other users. It seems as though you cannot name a drawable by the activity.

1. that messes with the order as all the com.xxxx will be ordered under c

2. eclipse does not allow punctuations. If you add the drawables in, you WILL get an error.

This will be fixed shortly
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I never name drawables the same as activities and yeah, eclipse can be quite picky about what it permits and doesn't permit naming wise...lol. Thanks! ;)
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Mhm. Basically you'll need to change the request activity Java so it names the drawables differently. I did it but I'm sure someone else can do a better job
[Android Themes] Eleve11:
You really should put this template up on Github! :good:
[Android Themes] Blaze:
which drawable are u talking of sir? I am a bit confused... is it a fault in the template?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I don't think it's that complicated. You can name the drawables anything as long as possibly they're not the same as the activity names or begins with a number.

Example:

<!-- Amazon -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.amazon.mShop.android/com.amazon.mShop.home.HomeActivity}" drawable="amazon"/>

<item drawable="amazon" />
[Android Themes] Deeco7:
tried to implement the 'Icon Helper', getting errors...it's something to do with the 'R imports', but can't figure what it is, would appreciate help, thanks.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
did u added abs as library?
[Android Themes] Deeco7:
I am using 'ABS' from dynasty's, not the one included.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I believe Blaze uses the same one.
[Android Themes] Deeco7:
yeh, that's what I thought hence why I didn't add abs again.

EDIT: Fixed, just realised I commented disable some elements on my app, all errors gone now. Thank you all for making this happen, much appreciated!! :D
[Android Themes] Rittik:
Guys the thing is i have went ahead and have edited the the1dynasty's Template a lot by myself. I have seen developpers adding their own "Icon Request Tool" on Play store based off tung91's App, I obviously dont want to do that. The thing is, Can anyone of you sum it up in a short way of how to add just the "Request tool" as a card inside the the1dynasty's Template. Currently mine template look like this. I was wondering to add just another card with "Request tool" at the end of the lot.

​
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Have you checked the latest template? There's a card that directs you to the tool directly. Perhaps a tutorial on how to do it oneself can be made in the future.
[Android Themes] Rittik:
Yeah i just checked it. The thing is have to do it all over again. A tutorial to do it oneself will be nice :D
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Agreed. ;)
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
he wants to add on to his preexisting build

My method was to just redo my app based on the template. A lot of code has been added and removed so it's hard to just add the changes. If you want to give it a try, add over all the XML that has request_ in front. Refractor them to your icon pack name and add the request Java too (basically all the new ones). To make a new bubble, just look at blazes main fragment Java and go to case 2 or something copy that over and add imports. You also need to add more permissions and change the min sdk version. I seriously recommend you redo your app though. It's a lot easier copying drawables and color filed than to redo blazes template to meet your original. You'll need to add stuff like about developer back yourself though.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I know. :)
[Android Themes] Rittik:
Yeah thats what i was gonna do actually. will be redo'ing whole template.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
That would be intelligent. Note that for blazes build action bar sherlock needs to have that name so don't refractor. You might also need to make changes to the request tool now, as drawables currently are named based on their activity, which messes with eclipse
[Android Themes] Rittik:
i am confused. What do you mean? which changes. I have not yet looked into the Request tool for now.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
The request tool works by sending you a zip of all the icons plus an app filter (which is amazing as it is fully automatic ). The issue is that the drawable is named after the app package name, so like com.android.providers.downloads.ui or whatever. Eclipse doesn't allow punctuation so it will think that all the drawables are named com which produces an error.

[MENTION=5139401]Blaze[/MENTION] sorry didn't see your post but this is the issue. I tried to fix it but I'm not sure if it works
[Android Themes] Rittik:
okay so the zip which is sent to me is a zip containing the requested app's stock icons and the activity name? Thats actually awesome. And yep i will rename. Thanks a lot :D
[Android Themes] Deeco7:
I wouldn't advise it If you made a lot of changes. If you compare your template with blaze's you will find the changes and be able to implement it easily.

In the end, it's up to you.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Have you tried doing it the way?
[Android Themes] Deeco7:
Yes and I recommend it!

For the life of me I can't find where the string for activity bar title is, any ideas?
[Android Themes] BenX9:
Muzei support, anybody..?

Sent from my phone with 5" screen
[Android Themes] Alex_R3CONN3R:
I'm already working on that :)

*slowly raises hand* :D
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
awww :)
[Android Themes] Blaze:
its inside string_app I think. and I will write down the tutorial to implement the request tool.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
I went through the muzei api docs. it will be hard to implement. I will try.
[Android Themes] Techsavage:
Thank you blaze!! This is the template I've been waiting for!
[Android Themes] Rittik:
I tried replacing the request java's from the src folder to my existing template,A lot of errors like "77" i renamed the packages inside the javas to my package name,few went out,but still they were there. copied all the request xmls too. Still errors persist. Still working on it. Lets see how it goes.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
That's one reason I decided to edit blaze's template rather than pasting the changes. That way, you just copy over the drawables and colours and then make changes from there.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
if you don't mind, can you share your template with me,? I will have a look into it and add the icon request tool..
[Android Themes] Deeco7:
Thanks blaze, I had a look and couldn't find it, I'm looking to change the title of that activity only.

Trial and error my friend, that's how I learnt. It's good to learn this way so you have a better understanding. If you need help, just let us know.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
which activity? the request activity?
[Android Themes] Deeco7:
EDIT: After spending ages, there is was in the manifest ffs! lol
[Android Themes] Blaze:
oh. you found it.. I was just going to reply that. :D
[Android Themes] mloc33:
Just getting around to giving this a try and already I`m running into problems, I`m not far into it, I`ve just got to step three, it seemed to be building it (progress bar was going on the bottom right corner) and a pop up showed, something about a java.lang.Stackoverflowerror, I click OK and the whole lot closes down.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Do you have a larger pic? I can see your current one.
[Android Themes] mloc33:
Sorry about that, it`s bigger now.

This is in the details box of it...."Unknown exception in parseSdkContent.

java.lang.StackOverflowError"
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Where are the rest of the files you're supposed to import, like the template files?
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Please import the template and add abs as its library.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Hey [MENTION=3168010]mloc33[/MENTION], is this your first time using eclipse? If it is, please go to sdk manager and get the latest stuff first. Then import the project (import existing project) as well as actionbarsherlock (import as existing code) as mentioned. Right click on both, go to tools, and add support libraries. Right click on abs go to properties, go to Android, and you'll see two boxes on the right. For the upper one, make it Android 4.4.2 rather than the x86 and check the "is library" option. Press apply, okay, and go to the same menu for the template. Make it Android 4.4.2 and then ADD a library. Add abs and press apply okay. It should work. And make sure you don't refractor action bar sherlock!
[Android Themes] Alex_R3CONN3R:
Hey [MENTION=5139401]Blaze[/MENTION]

Here's another project you might want to integrate into your template :D https://github.com/Alex-R3CONN3R/MuzeiWallpaper

#StayParanoid
[Android Themes] mloc33:
In a way yes, I`ve tried other times in the passed with trying to get my icon packs to APK, but no joy, but I`m as new to Eclipse as a new born is to the world, :)

I`ll do what you`ve mentioned to the best of my ability and let ya`s know how I get on, cheers again lads!!

Edit: OK, I`ve updated the SDK Manager, hopefully, went to open Eclipse and I`m getting "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine" ?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Also make sure you have the ADT plugin installed if you don't have it already.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Copied from my site:

Step 1: Downloading the Tools

The easiest way to do so is to simply download the whole adt bundle. Extract it, set up your workplace, download whatever you need from sdk manager, and you are good to go! If you are having issues with java, download the newest version, and go into the eclipse folder. Find "eclipse.ini", open it, and add "-vm (new line) C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\" above "-vmargs". More detailed tutorial here.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
wow.. I was working on this too.... nice. you just made my work easier.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Does the muzeiwallpaper also allow us to host our own wallpapers online and have it pulled by the icon pack? (basically that will help slim down the app). Regardless, muzei is awesome and whatever you guys do is sure to be mindblowing. Props to all of the devs for doing things us themers can only imagine :good:
[Android Themes] Alex_R3CONN3R:
You're welcome! :)

That's the whole point of it.

You can host them almost anywhere eg in an image hoster. But I'm still working on the how to and I will also explain how this works :good:
