Can an option for the user to choose webview provider like Firefox or focus be implemented....

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

There are a couple of ideas

User configured icon in app switcher circle which when clicked launches a overlay of a configured widget(like action launcher home screen icon cover does). Inner circle can be clipboard shortcut and widget shortcuts,while mid,outer circles are fooview tools and recent apps

So when u click a icon in fooview app switcher,the app switcher dissappears and there is a full screen overlay (floating) widget with a auto hide mechanism if not interacted with for some time...this floats over any existing app instances...

This is useful to interact with apps that have widgets instantly for a moment without coming back to launcher and pausing current app.

Use cases

Monitor, Control IOT gadgets like WiFi router,thermostat, lights, car smartcheck app etc via existing app widgets without interrupting current app

I use almost all features of fooview on a daily basis from extracting content from text,pics, translations,automated tasks,and so on...this is now my major interface to android.

I mean a smartphone os cannot be called smart to me now without features of fooview.

And fooview already takes a part of memory when active so a few more Mbs for widgets is a no brainer
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Thanks for the ideas, I will read it carefully.

For the webview, you might change "Webview implementation" from the system settings/Developer options. I haven't checked other implementations.
[Android Apps and Games] pistacios:
I just stumbled on the app and don't know how I've done without it! Great work!

One small request:

Possible to alter the icon size in app switcher and the selection radius size ("pie" size) of the app switcher ?

Thanks!

The info @ right corner of tabs needs a brighter colour in dark mode
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
You are right. The cleaning app (SD Maid Pro) removed the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Currently it supports 1, 2,3 circle(s). You might set it from the settings.

Because it invovles many layout considerations, it cannot be changed freely currently, we will enhance it later.

Hi [MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION], I am writing with regards to two issues:

1. I have ensured that the 'Refresh Interval' for the 'News' option (on the main home page) is set to 'Never'. However, I see the app making too many connections in the background to news.google.com/...

Please refer to this sample screenshot which shows the background connections. Please fix the bug. I do not want the app to make any background connections.

http://oi68.tinypic.com/2aiik3l.jpg

2. These days, I observe that the app takes too long to process text from screenshots. For example, I select a piece of text as an image and the app just shows 'Loading' for many seconds and then identifies the text from the image. See the screenshot as an example:

http://prntscr.com/ljhmq8

Can you please look into this as I believe something has changed in the last few months as earlier it used to process the text from the image quickly. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
Hi [MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION]. I have a suggestion. After a text URL (link) is identified by the orb, it shows various options (icons) at the bottom of that pop-up window (like Search, Share, Copy, Paste, etc.). For URLs intercepted, it correctly shows an options called 'Open' (which can be seen after tapping on the 3 dots). Can you please also include another button for shortening the URL (through any free URL shortening service like bitly.com, goo.gl, etc.)? The app can internally 'count' the characters intercepted and intelligently only show the option to shorten the URL if it is above certain number of characters (more than 10). Very useful feature. Please consider it.

Screenshot is here where you can include the new option: http://prntscr.com/ljuo2n
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Thanks. Because webview edge often returns wrong status to FV, we consider to leave some space from edge for window switch.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
I will look into the cases.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Thanks, the buttons should be more dynamic to support more actions in future versions.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
We have checked the code logic, it won't visit Google news if the refresh interval is set to "never". The log might be the old request or from other link? A webpage includes many requests normally.

You can reboot the device or restart the phone to check if it persists.
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
I will continue to monitor this and let you know. In the mean time, I wanted to check with you if it's possible to create an app that when run should display a particular web page through fooView? Can you briefly list the steps?
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
We will check more on the possiblity about the Never issue.

For the start page,

1) If a webpage is minimalized (Swipe up the icon), 15 minutes later, it will be closed and the memory is cleared, but it will be reopened when you open the main window (Swipe up the icon) next time.

2) Currently it only shows a homepage by default, you can customize it, add the webpage keyword and show the thumbnail on it. Though there's no start page feature at this moment, more to be considered.

3) There's a task module in fooView. You can open any web page in a task, and run the task by gestures or other ways.
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
I am not sure why have you listed point 1 and 2 above? I did not understand that. My query was on creating an app through fooView using the task feature. The task feature is a bit complicated and I tried to play around with the options and did not find a way to create it and thus requested the steps for that. Can you please list the steps for creating an app that when run should open a particular web page? For example, after opening the app, www.google.com should be displayed. Is this possible? In short, converting a webpage to an app through the task feature in fooView?
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
I was not sure whether the requirement is about start page or task.

As for the task,

If you just want to open the url (no matter using what app), you can add an action to show URL, input www.google.com for the action. Then you can add some conditions for it.

If you want to use a specific app (such as Chrome) to open the url, currently FV Task doesn't support the data parameter for startactivity (It means FV can open Chrome, but hardly send something to it now), but it will be supported in future 2~3 versions.

We're still working on improving it, and welcome any requirement.

[MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION]

Would it be possible to have higher frame rate in gif screen recorder? Currently it is limited to maximum 10, but that would give fast actions (eg swipe gestures) not recordable (frame skipped). If possible I think 25-30 should be sufficient for certain fast actions
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Yes, will add it, just need some time, the high fps GIF has something different to deal with.

please add an option to have more buttons. thank you
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
Hi [MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION]: I have a suggestion. After selecting the desired area (or the entire screen) with the floating orb and after FV shows the image of the desired selected area in the floating window, can you please include an option (such as 'Properties') in the floating window such that the Properties shows the following useful information about the captured image:

1. Resolution (Ex: 1280 x 720 px)

2. Bit depth: (Ex: 24)

and possibly other metadata that you can think of.

Thanks!

Just noticed that fooView used the CPU in the background over night for 53 minutes with screen off in the background (screenshot attached). I then checked the fooview browser but I had not used it in this session - only one tab open for quick access was open. Any idea?

Hi [MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION]- My friend sent me a pdf attachment in WhatsApp and after downloading it to phone, I tap on the file (in WhatsApp) and select FV but it does not open and I get an error:

Unsupported file path: null

Please fix.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Try force stop FV and restart it. I think something such as Webview or others might be stucked.

Or if you have enabled some auto tasks, you might check them too.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Will deal with it in next version. It might use special content path which should be dealed with.
[Android Apps and Games] preet4605:
What about internal audio recording. When i start recording the sound output will stop but internal audio will be recorded. Any way to record audio with sound output. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Normally FV will record mic sound. After installed as system app(normally in /system/priv-apps), you can enable the internal audio recording from FV settings (in developer mode). By system design, when recording internal audio, the mic sound would be mute.

[MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION] Not sure if my PM went thru (it doesn't show in sent), but I made a Magisk module for this app. This way users won't have to modify /system, which can break safetynet on some devices (so no Pay, PGO or FGO). I can confirm that internal recording is working with the module on Pie. I wanted to request permission before making a thread in the Magisk sub-forum.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
No problem, thanks for the work!
[Android Apps and Games] Ace42:
This is all derived from your efforts over the years, so I don't deserve any credit. What took me a few hours is minor next to what you've built. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] hitesh748-:
Can we able to here internal sounds ? With internal audio ?
[Android Apps and Games] Ace42:
Using internal audio mutes the speaker. You'll be able to hear sound in the actual recording. During recording, no.

hey,thanks for improving tasks but can u please make tutorial video regarding tasks

[Android Apps and Games] Artieza:
I'd like to recommend to not pay much attention at the task manager. If somebody really want to automate something there is already huge apps like Tasker. Better to focus at file manager and other things which can be useful via quick access which can provide fooView. For example, I really missed FAB in the file manager.

All modules so far from finished state but you take and take new ones. Stop.
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
Thanks for the advice, it keeps FV running.

In past 3 years, I seldom demonstrated something about FV, FV is really a new species, like I have said in the first post in 2016,

FV is always designed to be a powerful productivity tool using machine computing power, to help us get, view, manage information easier, saving our time. That's why it is floating (including browser, manager, viewer, player...) to be accessible, why it needs workflow for abilities (in fact, in all operations/features, there's an automatic flow running, whether it's observable or not. Task is not just a feature, it's how FV runs), anything we have done is all for the target.

Some frequent questions are:

Why it has a game?

It's a guide, for training how to use the gesture, and the app would learn how your own gesture looks like.

Why it doesn't use Chrome as default browser (or use another App for some features)?

Actually FV uses Chrome core (and Webview on some old Android). FV won't invent a new tool if there's a usable one already. It doesn't start Chrome because Chrome doesn't support FV (be float) and many many data/features, we cannot send everything in FV to Chrome, because it doesn't support most of them.

Why you add some features I don't want (File Manager, or Web Browser, or Task, ...)

It's all the infrastructure FV requires. You cannot expect FV to be effective while it keeps starting dozens of apps and controlling them. I can only change FV instead of bringing you a YouTube with extra features, because I cannot change YouTube any bit.

Until 1.0 we would have finished basic infrastructure for this period, and only then we can implement more flexible, customizable, advanced features such as more floating action buttons.

And always, FV will go on, any advice is admirable.
[Android Apps and Games] Artieza:
You can keep great plans in the mind, but especially the task manager is a really huge part of work. Maybe it's about more than 50% of whole fooView. So you can lose much time. Much power might be dispersed. If I have not Tasker, so I said: «Cool, go on», but Tasker is here... ? I can just use shortcut to any Tasker's task.
[Android Apps and Games] heynando:
to me FooView deserves the app of the year award. I'm serious. thank you for existing and for making your work philanthropic. world is a better place because of people like you.

[MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION]: I have a suggestion. After an area is selected with the floating orb, the app shows a window where the upper area is for the text and the lower is for the image identified (see screenshot). On this page, can you please implement a minimize button on the top right side of the window (see attached where I have included a red line). There are many times, where I would like to temporarily minimize this window so that I can check/read/do some activity in the background and then later again open this window. Can you please add this functionality? I am aware that the text area and the image area can be collapsed to occupy less space but it still stays.

By design it's an always-on gesture app for productivity, just like the screen gesture provided by the system. If you want to disable the floating icon, you can use the quicksetting tool from the notification area, or use the widget for quick on/off, or set auto hide list for any app.

[MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION]: After updating the app to the latest version (1.0.0.2_arm), I observed that I longer find the close icon (X) on the clipboard floating window (the window that shows all the previously captured clipboard list).

Screenshot of how it is now is attached. Can you please bring the close button back and place the current 'Mover' icon to some other location on that window. I know the close is now in the menu but it was very convenient earlier as we could close it immediately. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] fvalpha:
You might also use Back to close the clipboard (when it has focus), or some gesture for show/hide clipboard (long press and slide up by default).
[Android Apps and Games] m2habert:
Jumping in on the "mover" business, if I may:

Feature request: [MENTION=7171610]fvalpha[/MENTION] : ¿Could you consider moving the "mover" to the bottom of the floating window?

Actually, it would be even better to move the whole "toolbar" to the bottom (or provide it as an option).

The concept of fooView being a "floating" interface is very interesting, but then the phisicality of the position / use of the thumb (as one holds/uses the phone) becomes an issue for the success of same concept.

Thanks for the advice! We will keep improving the app.

For the clipboard, tap the paste button to paste and quit, double tap to paste and keep the clipboard, long press to paste and send (only for some app which supports the action, such as WeChat)

For the memo, there's a two step action, you can set gesture for Note, then click +.
