For Pure calendar & Astrid, problem found : Astrid is crashing when Pure calendar request tasks since last update !!!!

I sent an email to Tim (the main Astrid dev).

--------------------------------

Hi Tim,

I contact you about Pure calendar.

It was working fine until the last update.

Now, I (and a lot of my users) regulary have that kind of Astrid crash :

Can you please have a look and found a fix ?

Thank you very much,

[G1 Apps and Games] djkoch:
thanks :) I was going nuts... and tried to figure out what I was doing wrong... but nice to see that others experience the same :)

Hope 4 a solution :-)
[G1 Apps and Games] smurf:
The problem that tasks disappearing from the calender widget seems to be solved with the latest astrid update. Mine are showing up correctly...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
exctly, Tim contactated me to warn me. And we both tested this version... it works fine ! :p
[G1 Apps and Games] chaosmobc:
can this version of calender work like the htc sense calendar? whereby i can easily view the next month by scrolling it?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
precise your question please ...

Pure cal ?

Pure grid cal ?

are you talking about gestures or scrolling ?
[G1 Apps and Games] chaosmobc:
sorry . pure grid calender widget. when i put on mine home screen , can i actually swipe the screen dwn then it will change to the next month? like if i swipe the screen up it will go to the previous month ! thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Swiping is not handled by stock Android Home, and no API is available for HTC Sense Home to do it.

So, the answer is no, and it's impossible for any 3rd party widget.

But you can change month by tapping first/last cell.
[G1 Apps and Games] chaosmobc:
oh ok. thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] richardkemp:
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere in the thread, but I did search and found nothing..

I have Pure Calendar installed on a rooted G1, using Cyanogenmod 5.0.7.

I find that the text for each line ends long before reaching the edge of the widget, so there is lots of wasted space between the ":time: - Long calendar entry..." and the edge. Why is this?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I don't know, I don't have any "Cyanogenmod 5.0.7" to test.
[G1 Apps and Games] richardkemp:
Sorry, here is clarification if it helps:

http://picasaweb.google.com/richardtkemp/Public?feat=directlink

Edit:

It looks like the exact same amount of text is being shown in wider landscape as in portrait, so space is wasted. Likewise only the amount of events that could fit in shorter landscape are shown in portrait, though I have not ticked disable redraw on rotate.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
well, everything seems normal. After, it depends of the skin you choose. margin can vary of 2/3 pixels.
[G1 Apps and Games] refthemc:
Just a random idea but what if there was a way to choose a different font for the Pure Cal Widget.

Thanks for the awesome app koxx!
[G1 Apps and Games] richardkemp:
OK so to clarify further on what I tried to write before...

When I boot in portrait the text fills the widget properly. I rotate to landscape, so some of the later events are no longer visible, this happens instantly. After 5 seconds or so, the longer events whose names have been shortened with ... at the end actually become shorter still, instead of showing more of the name to fill the increased space available.

Example: I have an event "Put out rubbish". In portrait this is "Put out rub..." , but in landscape it reflows to "Put out ru... " and has a stupid gap which it wastes.

Any idea Koxx?

Sorry to bug you, great software otherwise.
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Request: for people like me who get a rooted phone could you please add a button to save/restore widget settings?

After install a new version and after fix_permissions always need to delete and then to reconfigure the widget: layout, colors, preferences, skin etc.

If possibile would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Apps and Games] xvenom89:
PLEASE return the HTC Sense theme back to the list of skins, it was my favorite. You have it up for Pure Messenger Widget, but not this Grid Calendar anymore..
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
it is already possible ... read the embedded informations page.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I didn't remove any theme from the server
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
It seems your calendar doesn't refresh correctly.

The '5 seconds later' is normal.

Pure Calendar needs to redraw after a rotation if you didn't disable this.

But IT SHOULD refresh correctly.

Are you using any task killer ?

I need you to send me a logcat after the problem happen. It will be much more easier to understand the problem.

To send a logcat, please, read this :

Moondark theme thats not transparent?

Anyone know of a custom theme like moondark or just an all black one that is not transparant at all for both the pure grid and pure calendar widgets? I really like the moondark theme but it is way to transparant for me (actually every theme on the server is somewhat transparant.. even with the slider all the way to the right).

Anyway, great widgets Koxx!
[G1 Apps and Games] isma.mail:
I would like also to have a black theme not transparent at all. I have tested nearly all themes and ther is allways some transparency. I have put transparency value to 0 (on the slide) but still there is some transparency
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
try 'totem' skin : no transparency
[G1 Apps and Games] isma.mail:
using this style, thanks ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] jomil:
could you add the option to hide or change the colour of the previous and next month's days when on 4x4 or 4x4xl in grid calendar? thanx
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
currently, they are semi-transparent. It doesn't fit you ?

People already complains about too much options, so, I don't think I'll add such option (1 request like it).
[G1 Apps and Games] Kenjari:
Where to find skins!!

Hey just got an Evo last week. Found this good Pure Calendar Widget and now looking for some skins. What I really need is a good transparency skin, something that I can still see the background image but good enough to display the text of the widget.

I have read 67 pages of this thread and still havent found some sufficient enough. I dont have the utuensils to design my own so I was wondering are people sharing? If so where? I saw one skin called 'moon', where can I locate that one at?

thank in advance!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
First, this :

http://koxx3.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/the-skins-design-challenge/

Second, you can set transparency to 100% on ANY skin... just pick a skin, and keep the finger press on it, 'transparency' ... that's all !
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
i dont see it on the list of upcoming features or the list of not developing ideas, will you do scrollable for pure calendar like you do for messenger? There are a lot more home replacements that allow for scrollable widgets know like LauncherPro Beta and ADW.Launcher =)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Features list have moved to my website :

http://koxx3.wordpress.com/pure-widgets-descriptions/

And yes, I am working on a scrollable Pure calendar... it will take few weeks (2 or 3)
[G1 Apps and Games] zenkinz:
hi koxx3,

I finally come across your widgets as I was looking at widgets to do what HTC-sense offers today, as my Samsung Galaxy S currently do not have all the relevant widgets.

however, i'm based in Singapore, so your app does not show up in the market (I think, do a search, but coudln't find your app)

I'm interested in all your widgets, and see that I can only buy directly from you (i.e. bypass the market). However, you mentioned in your blog that i will not be able to get any update. Is it true?

Any bundle deal since I'm interested to get all your widgets?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
yes, unfortunately, no update possible.

Because I use some basic PayPal functions and I don't have any true ecommerce website.

If I had 50h to spent on it, I think I should be able to make a website to handle sales AND updates, but I don't have this 50h :(
[G1 Apps and Games] mark in essex:
Hi there,

I've read through 40+ pages of this thread and can't see the answer to my question.

My wife got her Desire today, but there does not seem to be the option on there to do say the following:

Highlight 1 week every 3rd week (to the end of time) for when I'm on call

Put an appointment in for every Thursday for 7 weeks (for an appointment she has)

Will this app enable her Desire to do this, or do you need another app as well?

It does look a very good app for the forthcoming appointments.

Thanks, Mark.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
@mark in essex: yes, you can do it with 'quick event insertion'
[G1 Apps and Games] mark in essex:
Thanks for that.

Will it be able to do this (setting up 3 weekly appts etc) without installing any other widgets and use the stock ones?

Cheers.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Did you understand that it is a Pure calendar feature ?

You just need Pure calendar (and keep using the stock calendar application if you want too)
[G1 Apps and Games] mark in essex:
Sorry - wanted to make 100% sure as I'm new to Android.

Mark.
[G1 Apps and Games] mark in essex:
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I have installed Pure Calendar and when I click on the widget to add a new event it comes up with the HTC Sense calendar, but that will not allow me to highlight a whole week for every 3rd week?

Should adding a new event be through Pure Calendar and not the HTC Sense one?

Cheers, Mark.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
in the widget config panel, select 'quick insertion' for the '+' action.

And read the information page to understand the syntax.
[G1 Apps and Games] helmet69:
this widget has been one of my favorites since I got my nexus one in january. I have too say I have come too depend on it quite a bit. But since updating my phone to froyo it has become completly use less as it no longer can link to any calendar I have on my phone. While I purchased the application from the android market months ago it has completly disappeared now. So I am stuck without an update and without one of my favorite functions of my phone. Any suggestions?
[G1 Apps and Games] danvy:
Hi helmet69,

I had the same problem. I moved to Android Agenda Widget. You can install it on #froyo, it's highly configurable, lighter and free.

I was able to configure it so it looks exactly like I want. Not obliged to rely on skins.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Pure calendar widget is now scrollable with 'LauncherPro' et 'ADW Launcher'

http://koxx3.wordpress.com/2010/06/26/pure-calendar-scrollable-alpha-version/
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
I am using CM508 final for htc magic & also launcherpro beta.

2 bugs i found that are more graphical in nature.

1. when enabling and disabling scrollable mode, there is a graphic problem, both layouts are overlap on the screen. so it shows the scroll layout on top of the unscroll layout

2. for scrollable mode, the current day's event is also merged with the next day's event. and then this makes my events one day ahead. for example, today is saturday, but it shows both my saturday and sunday event under saturday. and then my monday event is listed under sunday, etc.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1. yes, there is a refresh problem (especialy with LauncherPro which need to be updated by Federico to support list refresh/destroy ordered by the widget). I am working on it.

2. interesting. I'll check this.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
maybe this attached picture screen shot may help for point number 2
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Problem found and fixed !

2.0.0b3 available
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
cool it is fixed, but now scrolling is more laggy. very noticeable. I even tried to reduce the number of days, from 1 month to 14 days, but still lag. pure messenger, have no lag in scrollable and i think pure messenger is more memory intense then calendar?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
this is not related to the fix.

A background tasks should be running.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
okay cool. i can live with it. if i scroll slow its no lag. probably just my phone then. thanks! been waiting for a scrollable calendar.
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
I had an issue with the "Enable scrollable mode" option, it told me that I had neither ADW nor LauncherPro installed, even though I use system version of ADW.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
If ADW is installed in the ROM, ignore this message.

I can't detect it.
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
I ignored it anyway, but I had wondered if there was a way to detect it.

I know Cyanogen's roms use the ADWLauncher.apk name, you could always look to see if there is such an apk in system. It wouldn't prevent all of the erroneous messages, but it would stop some of them.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I'd like to find something better than searching in APK filenames :(
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
Maybe Ander's willing to provide something, or accept a method submitting to his github.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
another bug

I found another bug in latest release. when clicking on events from the widget, the popup shows an incorrect 'to' date. they are all set to 1969. example: june 27, 2010 - december 31, 1969. all events if click will show correct from date, but the to date is 1969 1970.

but when view event in actual calendar app, all dates and correct. bug only in widget.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
are you sure you are using the LAST version (2.0.2) ?

if yes, please, send me a logcat after clicking.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
I downloaded the latest 202 from your website via twitter link. here is a picture of it. i will send a logcat shortly.
[G1 Apps and Games] djkoch:
2 things :)

Hi Koxx

Still a big fan of the most valuable app on my android device.

One small bug/request:

1) I'm using LauncherPro and the scrollable widget is VERY nice except there seems to be too much space between lines (see attachment)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
oh yes ! nice bug found ! :p

I'll solve this tomorrow.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, I know for small font. I'll solve this later.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
I just sent a logcat about this issue! the widget also reloads itself several times for some reason and then finally stops and become stable. that is also part of the logcat i think. thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] djkoch:
Wauw...thanks for a quick reply :)
[G1 Apps and Games] btdownloads7:
Background picture too streched

I'm using the 3x2 widget with LauncherPro, and the last 2 versions (2.03 and 2.04) seem to strech the default background image in a weird way. The top blue line used to only cover the current date, and the first appointment of the day used to be immediately below it in the white. But now, the blue header covers the first appointment as well, and is a bit disorienting.
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
Is thete any way to set the PCW to show Today when the event is set and when there is no event to show THE CURENT DATA. I only know for the option TODAY and if no evet DATE OF THE NEX EVENT.

Tnx
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
screnshottttttt please
[G1 Apps and Games] ianflo:
hey, so i have a weird issue, it may be something stupid im doing but i thought id ask.

i was running cm5.0.8 and couldnt get the scrolling to work, so i downloaded the newest version of adw and got it working. I then saw an update for PCW and after i updated, the widget wont load.

i reverted back to 5.0.7 (for gps not locking reasons) and thought it would fix the PCW problem too, but the widget still wont load. i followed all the instructions and am now jus stuck. any suggestions?

thx in advance.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
yes, use the last ADW version, uninstall PCW, reinstall it, insert a fresh widget and if it doesn't works send me a logcat with a short explication.
[G1 Apps and Games] FormelLMS:
Yes, that fixes the problem. Thank you!
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
I have a problem with current day background showing wrong.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
why do you think it's wrong ?

It's seems good to me.
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
I was used to see the silver box like in the view without the timescale. Is there any way to change it ti silver like in this view.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
no, no more.
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
To bad. The old style was better. Now you have search for the current day.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
with timelines, I want to use the full size of the cell.

I'd like to improve the current day cell rendering, I just wonder how to do it... I agree, the small white box of the date background is not enough.

The question is just HOW...
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
Maybe changing the whole box background color ( even under the timeliness )
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
it's not so simple.

Change it with which color ?

it strongly depends of user text color choice and skin choice.

may be draw a light inverted color all around the cell.
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
Light inverted color would do the job, you should try it in the next release.
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
Can you tall me one more thing about Pure calendar widget. Is there a way to set the calendar view like in the attached photo, but when the event day comes the calendar show the TODAY text.
[G1 Apps and Games] djkoch:
Hi again the scrollable widget is very nice. And the font sizes and line cuts are great. Just one thing that doesn't work as in non-scrollable widget. The "open-in-tap" that's been selected in settings doesn't work. Tapping brings oup the day tapped instead of the app.

Regards
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
@djkoch : I've just complete the information page ;)

You need to tap the upper left corner.
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
I'm having trouble keeping the scrollable version loaded on my Dream, using Cyan's 5.0.8 rom and ADW's .9.0 launcher. I've had to switch back to the non-scrollable version because of this.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Personnaly, I think G1 or G2 doesn't have enough memory and power to runs scrollable widgets...

or you need to have only this installed ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] drewdigg:
I can't seem to install skins anymore. Most of the time when I click to install a skin I see a window pop that says "Retrieving Data" but it disappears without the progress changing after a few seconds and the skin doesn't install. On some skins I get a message saying "Problem download or extracting skin ZIP file Check SD card and internet connection". I have checked both the SD card and my connection and both of them are fine.

Hello Koxx!

Firstly, congrats on the lovely widget.

I bought your widget today and I am encountering a strange problem.

I have touchdown installed and I want the widget to display calendar entries from Touchdown, of course.

Unfortunately Pure Calendar does not recognise Touchdown being installed. If I tell the widget to ignore this, the events are displayed correcty....but if I press on them touchdown calendar will open.

Any ideas on how I can get Pure Calendar to recognise Touchdown?

I am running a Rooted Motorola Milestone. Italian firmware.

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I'll may add a 4x1 soon... but it's not so simple because of first/last cell tap action.

weird... it is always the case, or only sometime ?

because TouchDown have a bad habit of killing itself every x hours, and restart few seconds later. If you tried during this short interval, it could be the reason of this miss-detection.
[G1 Apps and Games] Laban:
Is there no way to remove the start time of events in the widget? For my purpose of this widget it's only taking up space.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
no, and you are the first one to request it...

so, please you the moderator system to make people vote for your idea ;)

http://koxx3.wordpress.com/suggestions/
[G1 Apps and Games] Laban:
Hehe, then I rest my case. No big deal :)

Great app btw!
[G1 Apps and Games] djkoch:
Love the scrolling widget with launcherpro :-)

the only thing i'm missing is the weeknumbers. There only a weeknumber in the top line. Would it be possible to make a weeknumber visible e.g. every monday?

How to configure the widget to show calendar items as well as the google tasks items?

I have installed pure calendar widget and it only shows the tasks fetched from gtask and not google calendar entries. Is there any way to configure it to shows the google calendar items as well?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] Mikerrrrrrrr:
Koxx,

Would you mind sharing the settings used to make the grid widget look like this? http://koxx3.free.fr/gridcal18.png

Whenever I have "Show Events Timeline" enabled, I lose the white box behind the current day. Any ideas?
[G1 Apps and Games] butters786:
Hi mate, GREAT APP! I wondered if there is a way to:

1. Change the size of the date, I have small font for the actual events but I feel it's wasting space having a full size date.

2. Have the date and event on the same line, so for example:

Wed 21 June - 7pm Cinema
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
