I really want this app. But I can't get priced apps anymore. I used to be able to trick my way around it, but it doesn't work anymore :(

Can anyone tell me why I can't? Neither with market enabler or the manual way (manual tells me I can't rm cache, file system read only, even though I remounted it)
[G1 Apps and Games] dcorrea:
Astro Todo + this app = task management heaven. This is exactly what I have been looking for. A small widget on my homescreen that will show my upcoming calendar appts and todo tasks (sync'ed with Astro). Thank you.
[G1 Apps and Games] harsaphes:
I cannot find this app anywhere...I have a TMO USA phone..searching yields nothing and even reading barcode yields nothing..

Why does this happen to me on certain apps?
[G1 Apps and Games] deadite66:
because google are newbs in the cell phone market.

[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I received this on my blog :

- i would like to have a maximum information in a minimum space (you’re on my “home”!!!), so

i would prefer not to have the today date on top of the widget

>> a big complicated, and have to create new skins. If more people request this, why not ...

- i would like to be able to scroll on the widget view to see next appointements (like the “intenet preferred sites widget”

>> nop, too difficult. If you want more informations, launch cal app.

- i really would like it to be able to enter appointements in landscape…

>> same answer. My widget is not a replacement for cal app. It will stay a viewer.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
- For text cut, I have to change a loooooot of thing to handle it. If I manage to do it, I'll be able to use multiline too.

- Events limit per day : I think it's a bad option, I remove it from the list.

- Events colors & icons : already in task lit.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
That's a very good idea !

added to task list !
[G1 Apps and Games] kolyan:
bought both of your widgets. thanks a lot.

now looking for ski / snow report app: snow reports, trail maps, possibly gps location, realtime reviews, nice graphics, and support for European and USA resorts etc...... I would definitely pay for this :)
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
thanks for a great app- i bought it as well- only thing i could see that would make it better is more sizes- i did email you about that and thanks for the reply- 2x4 would be great (4x4 is far too wide for my needs), but 2x2 is perfect until then.

I love how you can just tap on it and it opens the google calendar- i love you can set update times etc...... helps me keep track of what my wife needs me to do :D

Good work mate.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mitheor:
Thanks for adding it! :D

App bought and loving it.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
you like it like this ? :D
[G1 Apps and Games] ices:
very nice :)

The colors of my calendars are important for me :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new beta 1.3.2b1 :

- new date format with '.'

- patch for duplicate events bug (no more stuck on 'loading')

- colored bullets for diff calendars

- reskined day bar (new gradient)

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureCalendar132b1.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
tested out the new beta, unfortunately got bugs see the color bullets. it isnt properly aligned with the events. i think it has to do with if the event is too long and the three dots ... goes to the second line.:

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

I tried to shorten the event, by removing the location. but there's still an alignment problem as you can see in this other screenshot:
[G1 Apps and Games] samygent:
is it possible to make it only show a date range ?

example i would like the calendar to show everything from monday to friday for whatever day we are in

edit : is it also possible to lower character font size and show a few more events ?
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
same problem here.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I found the bug, i'am working on it ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new beta 1.3.2b2 :

- bug fix for colored bullets

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureCalendar132b2.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
Maybe this is just me but we where looking for a replacement for the Cupcake calendar and if you've noticed your widget which i love n will ALWAYS USE btw is not replacing the Hero calendar widget... haha :) GREAT JOB ON THIS!!! Keep it up!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
range > why do you want that ? split your events in different calendars if you want to split work/weekend

lower font > I really think it the good size. Not too small, not too big... And it is not possible to have avariable font size for widget. It have to be hard coded. But you can notice that 2x2 have smaller font to put more info. Personnaly, I don't like it like this (font is too thin for me).
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
can you send me pictures of Hero calendar widget ? it's the grid ? isn't it ?

well, grid format is scheduled for pure calendar ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
It looks like crap!!! It shows only 1 event n once it starts it goes away. I don't even use it any more but let me add it n post you a pic so you can see crap compared to your great work... haha
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I was thinking to this one :
[G1 Apps and Games] isma.mail:
Problem loading widget

I have updated my purchased version with your last beta to see changes. I have removed it from my home screen and tried to add it again. It gives me an error while trying to load the widget.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Did you UNINSTALL the purchased version before installing the new one ?

You have to.

What is the error ?
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
This worked for me great thanks!!! Started to really hate the Hero Widget Calendar then yours came around and i've never gone back :)
[G1 Apps and Games] isma.mail:
I have followed your instructions and it works fine.

It looks great, maybe a little bigger color box (wider) would be better
[G1 Apps and Games] ices:
the colours are fine as they are. thx
[G1 Apps and Games] Salix:
I just downloaded the latest beta and literally fell in love with your app. Great piece of work! It is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks alot!

I'm with the 4x2 widget and everything seems fine, text size is perfect and bullets look fine as well. I will play around with it for some time and will report on any issues.

As soon as google adds other payment methods (I don't have a credit card) this will be my first paid app!
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
the new beta fixed the bug i previously posted. looks good now.
[G1 Apps and Games] Settembrini:
Bullets

Hi,

and first of all, really really fine work and the widget works fine for me.

What I do not really get is the fuss about the bullets. Are they really necessary?

And here is a bug.

I use the 2x2 size and if you use bullets the first number for example in 14.30 is covered by the bullet. Not nice.

So it reads 4.30 which cannot be the idea.

But thank you very much for this programme.

S.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
ok, thanks for tests !

beta testing closed.

will be published in few hours.
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Your widget is simple and functional I really like that.

However I cannot purchase it because I cannot see it in the market :(

Market enabler is not a good option as I don't want to go with rooting the phone for now.

If you get one option to purchase it without using the market let us know.

If the beta works fine for me I will just donate via paypal. Would this be ok to you?

Anyway, some sugestion:

My calendar crashes offen. Don't know why but it seems to happen to at least a few people also here in Portugal. When this happen we are not alerted about any more appointments until we see this.

If this is some "common" situation to more users then an option to be alerted about it would be quite good to have.

This would be the way I would do it:

- New option "Notify non responding calendar"

- Specify "silent" period: i.e. 23-8h

- If no calendar update can be made at the expected time, then:

- If not in a silent period then raise a notification (if possible with vibration)

- If in silent period then notify only in the end of silent period.

Thank you for your good work. I was thinking that I couldn't find such decent app an needed to make one and then I saw yours :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hi,

i'am looking for solution to distribute my software without Android Market, but it's not simple :

- AndAppStore : direct pay apps not allowed, but good transation management (direct PayPal), their site is a pure crap (nearly no informations for developpers, no FAQ ...)

- SlideMe : important fees for non US citizens to receive money

- HandToGo : keep your money until 250$ are gained ! crazy guys ...

- PayPal/mail : impossible to manage. I tried with Weather Forecast, and I received 10 mails per day. I became crazy !

So, at this time, I didn't find any good solution.

I'am looking to build a free and simple selling site with PayPal payment...

If you have an idea for a simple solution.

For your calendar problem ... it never happend to me :/

If I can't test it, i won't add it.

Are you running official ROM or custom ?
[G1 Apps and Games] bluecluenj:
Widget

Hi! With this latest beta, my wish list for the perfect app is complete :) It works flawlessly and the colorized bullets are perfect because I share my wife's calendar and this allows me to quickly tell whose events are displayed. The only tiny thing I would like to maybe see is an option to adjust the font size (my 44 year old eyes arent what they once were).

Perfect widget and well worth the pennies that I paid for it! Thanks :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks ;)

unfortunately, it is not possible to have dynamic font size :( (widget API limitation)
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
My question is i have some events that last all day like reminders and they don't show up at all :( Is there a fix within the App or is it just Hero doesn't want to keep them because on the Google widget one all day events stay.
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Hi,

I'm using the official ROM that was present in the phone. This is why I didn't root it yet :)

It is an HTC branded one.

Other people with the same ROM are having the same problems. The ROM doesn't seems changed by the operator. I couldn't find any reference about this besides the existing APN data being "recognized".

Anyway if this is something that is not affecting several potential customers then it doesn't make sense to add it.

If I came across a good solution for the management of outside of market I will let you know.

Tnx.
[G1 Apps and Games] sputnik99:
Is this already part of the market version or just an idea so far?
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
^ thats the calendar widget in Hero not in his app yet
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1.3.2 published on merket :)

guys, I am still looking for a beautiful free icon for my app :)

is there a graphist/designer here ?
[G1 Apps and Games] Pyrazol:
Did you just take it out of the market again? I updated just now and went back to the market to see what the new description said. Then the market popped up a message which said "Item could not be loaded" (or something like that). Then I loaded the PureCalendar page again, and now it's back to 1.3.1 o.O
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
yep, my mistake, re-uploaded on market !
[G1 Apps and Games] skyjumper:
Super slick.

Purchased!
[G1 Apps and Games] Eduardo911:
oh mannn its got the colors, just what i've wanted all along. i like your way even better than the stock way of coloring the whole line

perfect! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1 > 1/5 - look win3.1 ;)

2 > 3/5 - few perspective problem, but looking good

3 > 2/5 - text perspective problem, and don't really like

4 > 3.5/5 - icon is pretty good. Just have to remove text ...

thank you very much for this proposal !!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
this one looks really greet... but have to pay :(
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
got it !

free for commercial use !!!

do you like it ?

or do you prefer any another one ?

[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
this one ?
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
i like the blue one but ill always say blue over anything else...
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
Blue, blue, blue!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I agree, either the white one (for 'pure' aspect), either the blue one (default theme of the widget)
[G1 Apps and Games] xitulofica:
Hello

I can confirm this problem. I also have a Magic from TMN, a Portuguese operator, and it's still with the original ROM, only got it a month or two...

The problem is that, at least for me, the calendar keeps closing itself. I try to open it and it says: "The process com.android.calendar has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and I have to force close it and then reopen it.

The problem is that in that process the calendar is not working, including any reminders that you have, they don't work, no sound, nothing, and you can loose an important appointment...

I don't know if I could make myself clear...

One other thing, I couldn't buy your great app because I don't have access to pay market here, but I installed the last beta and I just love it.

But I feel it's unfair because you deserve to get paid for your work... I'm really sorry, once you get an option just let me know, ok?

Bye
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Strange your problem with portugal phones & calendar app ... can you try quick calendar ? I think it can handle reminders.

I know, this situation is boring :/

I have contacted slideme to have more informations on their offer. Still looking for a good solution.
[G1 Apps and Games] Pyrazol:
I vote blue.
[G1 Apps and Games] Chahk:
These icons need more 'droid in them :)
[G1 Apps and Games] androxx:
Hi, I think I found a bug (in market-release 1.3.2) with the option "Show days without events" combined with "Show event calendar color".

If there is no day without events, the alignment of the colored bars to the events is correct, but each day without events causes a shift.

I think on this pictures (look at the last row) you can see what I mean (in face of bad quality).

->
[G1 Apps and Games] xitulofica:
Yes it´s strange.

I tried quick calendar and others also, the problem is that the main calendar crashes, and the problem is the same.

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks for this bug report. I'll correct it right now :)

EDIT : bug corrected.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1.3.3 published :

- calendar color bug fix

- new application icon
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
New calendar icon is beautiful, but it is difficult to distinguish the small calendar icon inside.

I will be difficult to change it again ... but if I should.

What do you think ?
[G1 Apps and Games] isma.mail:
I have not yet received any notification about an update available. I am still with 1.3.2 and it is stated as up to date !!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
grrr ... 2 times it happend. I think this is a problem with android market administration site :(

I won't be able to update before 8h.
[G1 Apps and Games] dekeijzer:
Will there be an option for location on second line?

Example:

15:30-16:30 Introduction to android...

@ university

Most of the time I`m more interested in where I must be (university student..) then what I actually have to do.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Interesting, but difficult to manage (like all multilines options). I'll see if your request is asked by other people.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
this is something to consider. currently if it is just single lined and if you have a location, then if ya event is really long the location doesnt show since it gets cut off with the "..." which makes it kinda useless in those situations. so having location on the second line would be helpful

OR figure out how to do multiple lines for an event that is dynamically formatted, so if an event is long it can go over to line two, three, four, etc. this way events wont get cut off and locations would show properly. i know you having a tough time with it though.
[G1 Apps and Games] isma.mail:
As previously commented I would add a multiline option the let the user configure if he/she wants to have events to go wider than one line.

If disabled then use one line per event with ... at the end. Maybe you could use horizontal scroll.

I enabled, the use as many lines as event needs.

You will have to take care of things that make an entry wider. Example, if you add end time, duration and location, it takes longer than putting only event description.

A longer event:

16:30-17:30 (1h) looooooooonger Event name @ loooooooooonger event location

could be shown if multiline event enabled:

_______________ means white spaces (while I edit this post spaces are shown, but while viewing, spaces are removed

16:30-17:30 (1h) looooooooonger Event

_______________name @ loooooooooonger

_______________event location

or

16:30-17:30 (1h) looooooooonger ...

if event multiline disabled
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Seems an interesting feature.

Having the @ event location in a new line seems to be have better usability (and look) then to have it in the end of an wrapped line.

Also in terms of programing it should be more straight forward since you don't need to care if there should be a wrap or not. If there is a location then a new line is needed for it. Is no location, no new line is required.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
To help your understanding :

- events for 1 day is only 1 textView (text block).

- text cut is manage by limiting number of caracters

- I can't know the real space used (caracters have variable size, I have to consider they use maximum size)

A solution is to declare 10 textview per day ... but it will overload the widget.

So, I should find a way to count caracters, add cariage return, and take into account the number of line per event in window space calculation and calendar color bar size...

I have to broke few things to make it working ... with unpredictable result.
[G1 Apps and Games] nmesisca:
mm interesting..

in .NET there is a function that given a string and the font you want to represent it with, returns the size of the text. I assume there is nothing like this in J..?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
If that exist, I am saved ! But I never found that...
[G1 Apps and Games] nmesisca:
actually it only works if you write text using GDI+ not for normal text in textboxes etc..

sorry dont want to hijack this thread..
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
+1 for implementing horizontal scroll if possible ^^.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
scrolling > clearly not possible with current SDK.

I may find a solution with 'breakText' in Paint class. I'll check this tonight. Thanks for the idea.
[G1 Apps and Games] nmesisca:
no problem man. I'll be happy to help if you need just drop me a line.

[G1 Apps and Games] yipcanjo:
Just purchased the Pure Calendar widget. Thanks! I needed something "useable" in this area, and the stock Android widget is pretty bad.

A couple of comments, if I may...

1) the main date heading (today's date) seems to be further to the right than the subsequent dates beneath it. Is that by choice? Personally, I would move today's date slightly to the left.

2) the ghosted "refresh" and "settings" icons -- to the right of today's date -- almost seem lo-res. I'm guessing you had to make the color/sizing work for many variations of the widget, but perhaps those could be made sharper? Less anti-aliased? Also, a "gear" is often a good icon for Setttings options, if you're looking to do something new.

Hope those are helpful suggestions :)

Yip
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, this is what I want. I don't want big visible icons. You don't have to use it very often ...

Sure ! comments are welcome here !

1 > I agree, I saw that yesterday ... I think I'll do something

2 > Not really low res, but transparent and slightly antialiased. I didn't find 'gear' icon in SDK, for me, both are good (tools & gear).
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
A circular gear icon would be more difficult to distinguish from the circular refresh icon. The hammer/tools icon works well and looks different enough to identify it from a glance.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I found a way for multilines ;)

A lot of code to add to manage that, and surely of lot of bugs added ... we'll see.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
sounds good! extreme beta testing here we come! :p
[G1 Apps and Games] Settembrini:
Hi Koxx,

always nice when you improve things, but please eliminate the bugs first.

I use the 2x2 size and if you use bullets the first number for example in 14.30 is covered by the bullet. It reads like this 4.30 Not nice.

But thank you very much for this programme.

S.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I agree to eliminate bugs, but this is the first time I see this one.

Thanks for the report
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hummm ... strange, I checked, and it works fine for me. Can somebody else test ?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
stable enough for testing :D

1.3.3 published on market

new beta 1.3.4b1 :

- multiline for events

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureCalendar134b1.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] ashes:
At the moment .... 5 stars :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
are you testing the beta ?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
program for this week-end :

- lite free version

- price change to 1.49€
[G1 Apps and Games] ashes:
Yeap. Multiline working fine
[G1 Apps and Games] nmesisca:
Hey koxx,

went on the market a minute ago thinking 1.3.3 was published but still says the version is 1.3.1 (!?) though yesterday I updated to 1.3.2 from the market itself. Deleted the cache and tried again, it even shows 1.3.3 update in the description.. weird.

decided to uninstall and redownload and it got 1.3.1 !! :(

what do you need to do to get 1.3.3?

thanks for the help,

N
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
hummmm .. very strange. Another bug to add to Market application :(

This application really s*ck.

On my side, everything seems to be good (1.3.3 published with new description), and on Cyrket, it's OK.

No idea to solve it ...

uninstall app + clear cache + reboot ?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
cooooool ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] nmesisca:
Got it sorted doing:

uninstall - clear cache - reboot - market enabler - download

Apparently using market enabler 'clouds' the visibility of apps from My Downloads (wrong versions etc..) . At least its what im seeing.

All done now.

Thanks again,

N
[G1 Apps and Games] jaygeek:
Hi Koxx,

Do you know for the sdk 1.5 bug with the OnReceive() method of the WidgetProvider class ?

The Ondelete event is not catch properly.

I think your problem is here and not in the market.

You can find a fix for this issue here for exemple.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/e405ca19df2170e2

Hopes it help.
[G1 Apps and Games] licenced:
Hi,

have been following this app for a while - it looks excellent - and just as I am thinking of getting it you mention a price rise and a lite version. Could you describe what the lite version will do (or what it will be missing) so I can decide whether to buy the full version today or wait for the lite?

Thanks

Dave
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hi !

for lite version :

- only 1 size (4x2)

- most options disabled (no multiline, no end time, no color ...)

- not skinnable

very light... just to add visibility to user that doens't have access to pay market.

I think I'll will publish on slideme market to be sure that everybody can download the full version.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, I am aware about this. Patch is not applied.

But it's called only when widget is removed from desktop , isn't it ?

I don't problem with this at this time.

But I have a problem with half configured widget. If you launch a configuration, and use 'back' key, it leave a semi dead widget (referenced in WidgetProvider, but not configured, impossible to remove). may onDelete() is called in this case.
