Here is a new version of pure grid.

I should solve problems for "GMT +x" problems.

I broke all the day processing management, so... if everybody can test it please, it would be nice.

[G1 Apps and Games] Branwen:
testing now:

Pure grid seems fine on my hero :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Perfect :)

Thanks for the test !
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
latest update has fixed everything- once again a perfect app..... thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] Branwen:
And pure calendar works on AOSP'd Hero 2.0.

Result!
[G1 Apps and Games] jomil:
sorry to say but pure grid hasn't updated at midnight since quite a few updates... i often have to press the refresh button for it to change to the correct day on my magic!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I see 2 possibilities :

either your phone is in low memory and Android killed the update service ... either you killed it with a task killer.
[G1 Apps and Games] keerf:
I have what is hopefully an easy fix.

I noticed that on certain themes, the one in particular is Knox MKX. The header area of the theme doesn't extend to the main date at the top and the settings icon. Is this by default?

I'm running pure calendar widget (on a Motorola Droid). Do I need to do something with my fonts that I am missing?

Thanks for any help!

Astrid tasks does not show up on the pure calendar.. I downloaded and installed the first 2 files. Using mytouch, no mods, no ROMs

Any help? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Sure, I would like to help, but I need the logcat after the widget insertion.

Please, send it to my mail @ (see first page).

Thanks !!!
[G1 Apps and Games] Birba:
I could not upgrade your Astrid version.

But after I uninstalled the official version, yours worked.

I can see now the tasks in pure calendar.

But what i don't like is that the astrid task appear between the calendar appointments. It looks like this:

Fr, 4.12 (49)

11:00 Apointment X

23.00 Apointment XX

Astrid Task 1

Astrik Taks 2

So, 6.12

Will you release a standalone widget for astrid?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I put the Astrid tasks first now (I think it's better).

No plan for Astrid widget. It will stay an 'add on' for Pure calendar.
[G1 Apps and Games] roggan:
Nevermind, it started showing astrid tasks now.

Few probs:

-It was showing my calendar events even though I did not select any calendars in the settings. (I just wanted astrid tasks to show)

The reason I want this is that most of my astrid tasks does not have a date associated with them.. just like a to do list w/o time limits and that's how I want it to show up on the widget.

-Anyway to have it open astrid on tap?

Thanks! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Birba:
@koxx

Wouldn't it be possible an maybe satisfy everybody if we could configure pure calendar in the following 3 ways:

1. show calendar appointments & tasks (like it is possible right now)

2. show only calendar appointments (like it is possible right now)

3. show only tasks (without date title at the top; to show first task without end time and then the task with end time)

I would use option 2&3 and set 2 widgets for that.

These options could be realised at the top of pure calendar settings. And by selecting an option you could grey out the selections not needed for the option.

But that is only my personal opinion.

Let me know what you think about that.

By the way, i bought your calendar, messaging and grid widget.

Absolutely the best and the most supported wigdets!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] Birba:
I noticed a bug. When there is no appointment set for today, the tasks are not displayed.

Bug solved in the new beta. Thanks for this report :)

I could make it possible (fully disable calendar), but not without date. :/

calendar events > normal. This is a calendar widget ... not possible to disable calendars at this time.

open Astrid > no, but later yes.
[G1 Apps and Games] analuz:
I just installed the beta and played with it for a bit. I had a couple of comments:

- it seems like now it's not possible to have two calendar widgets, one that displays tasks and one that doesn't. Is that right? and is that something that you could fix?

- when displaying the calendar color bars, the widget also displays colors for the different priorities of the tasks (really cool!) but they don't seem to be aligned correctly with the tasks - they're off by quite a bit. (I'm using the 4 rows, 2 columns size widget if it matters).

- something mentioned this before, but I wasn't sure if it had been already fixed, but when there is no appointment for a day the tasks are not displayed. I was trying to cheat and create an empty calendar as a placeholder and have a widget that would display only the tasks - but that obviously did not work

I hope this helps! Thanks for all the work!
[G1 Apps and Games] analuz:
Coming back to my list of comments

- I do seem to be able to have just one widget show the tasks now. Must have been a mistake of mine earlier.

- also, the problem with the misalignment of color bars also occurs with the normal calendar (didn't used to before I installed this beta version)

- also, tasks that DO have due dates are listed under today it seems, rather than the date when they are actually due, which is a bit strange
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I think the last version was buggy.

Here is a new one.

http://koxx3.free.fr/widgets_apps/PureCalendar158b3.apk

For your questions :

1 - possible : task + calendar, calendar only / not possible : task only... all that with multiple widdgets if you want.

2 - I noticed that. impossible to solve now. It took me 10h of work to try to align that f***** bullets yesterday :(

3 - I checked your solution : it works on my device (use an empty calendar to display tasks only).
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:

new beta fixing a small layout problem
[G1 Apps and Games] analuz:
The empty calendar works in this version!

Other suggestions that would be nice (not sure if they are implementable)

- if a task has a due date, it would be nice to have it displayed under that date rather than in a long list listed under today, not sure why it does that since it's very confusing.

- it would be nice to be able to select a specific list of tasks to display (by tag for example - the remember the milk widget currently allows that, but not astrid it seems).
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
With Beta 2:

- If I remove a task from Astrid the Widget is not updated

- If I have several tasks I no longer see no appointment.

I would propose the following:

- Have an option to limit the number of tasks that are displayed.

- If a task has a due date, add the due date to the start of the task name (like [07/12] )

- If the due date of the task is on current day, add the due time instead (like: [21h] )

What about the option to list the next events on the lock screen? any Idea on when you will have it available?

Btw, upgraded My Magic, rooted it, installed Market Enabler and finally I was able to purchase your application. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i have a motorola milestone testdevice and puregrid calendar doesn't show my exchange calendar as option.

this is strange since it works on my htc hero and it works on purecalendar (on hero AND motorola milestone with android 2.0).

But only puregrid seems to have a problem recognizing that i have a exchange calendar besides the google calendar. When i open the calendar selection i can only see my google calendar.
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
If a task appears only in the due date you will not see you have do do anything to achieve it until the last day or two.

Basically you are handling it as an event and not as a task.

I would follow the current approach of having the tasks showing up outside of any day.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
for due date, I do not agree. I think it should stay under the current date.

For filtering, I fully agree.

I am thinking about :

- importance filtering

- tag filtering

- date filtering

For Droid Exchange and Pure grid, this is 'normal'. I didn't add it at this time.

I am very busy with Astrid implementation and text sizes options.

I think HTC Hero import Exchange data INSIDE a Google calendar. Moto Droid store data inside ANOTHER database ;)

- update problem > low memory is the only reason it could not update (or service killed or not alive). It works fine for me (even with low memory).

- several tasks > 'your problem'. same things with events. hide things is not the solution for me (especially if user cannot choose EXACTLY what widget hide). choose a bigger calendar size, or reduce font size, or use a filtering (when it will be added).

- due dates > very good idea. I'll add it soon.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Pure cal 1.5.8 published !
[G1 Apps and Games] analuz:
Fair. But I would like to at least see the due date, and I would need some filtering. :-)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Due date is already visible in the version published ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] analuz:
Sorry about that. It's hard to keep track of all the different versions when you're making changes all the time :-) (great work!). Reinstalled and I see the due dates now. I really like where this is heading. Also the colored dots for priorities seem to align fine with my current settings.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
No problem. ;)

Next steps :

- priority filtering

- day viewer like in pure grid, with task add/mark as finished actions.

Bug I think I'll work on Pure messenger first. I have to deliver a version of the first list view. :p
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Just retested with the published version:

- Task added -> Widget updated

- Task completed -> Widget updated

- Task deleted -> Widget not updated

(I deleted the task via long press on task and selected delete)

Killed all applications, added widget again. Same situation.

All updates work(like change of dates, completed) besides the delete of the task.

I have about 90Mb free memory.

Regarding the limits, if you list items of a single type, then no limits are required. But when on the same list there are two different types of items, one on top and other on bottom, it is important to restrict the size that one occupies to make sure the other time is still displayed

For instance, if events appear on the top, then no task will appear because a normal user will have several events for the next days to have it full.

The same happens for tasks. For the future one can have like 20 or more priority tasks. So even with filter it will be very difficult to make sure you still can see your events.

Since display of events is the most important part of the widget. I find important to have a way of making sure I have space to see at lest the next two or three events.

So a very simple option to say like 5 or 10 max tasks would improve a lot the usability of the widget.

Lets wait and see if more people request this.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
About task delete, you are completly right. I'll solve that tomorrow.

For task hidding, I still do not agree...

Imagine if you declare 20 tasks with same priority, without due date.

You filter to display only 10 tasks.

Which one will be visible ? random ?

For me it's completly useless if you don't decide what you REALLY WANT to see.

Then, you use tag (such as 'personnal' or 'work') or priority, to be SURE of what will be visible in the widget.

Sorry, but I don't like random things...
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
I understand the point.

But this apply even now. I cannot have all my tasks even in a 4x4 widget so they are being cut.

So I would always apply an ordered list like the following:

First ordered by priority

then by due date.

and finally by creation date.

One other point, at the moment it is not possible to have a widget with just Astrid tasks. I believe it would be usefully. To use two widgets at the same time, one for each purpose.
[G1 Apps and Games] simplyTravis:
I LOVE the Astrid compatibility and the text size options! I believe those two are the best updates yet. Will Astrid release that in their official app soon?

Also, since I'm asking questions...

Will there ever be a way to increase the real estate of the screen by including columns inside of the widget rather than just rows? I have a ton of short tasks and quick reminders that seem to take up only half of the screen or less.
[G1 Apps and Games] analuz:
Maybe I don't understand what you have in mind, but you can create an empty calendar and display just that along with astrid tasks in a widget. Then all you have on that widget are your tasks. It still shows today's date at the top, but it's not that important. I currently have a 2 columns, 4 rows task list widget and a separate widget for my calendar and they work great. I don't see the point of having them combined. If you DO want them combined, there are ways to import your RTM calendar in google calendar based on due dates, but it doesn't update very often.

I think being able to pick a "smart list" or tag to display would be very useful. People who use the GTD approach (which I'm trying to work on), use various tags like "next action", "someday/maybe" etc, and one would want to be able to just see "next actions" on the task list for example.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, I'll try to add this possibility.

I'll recontact the Astrid creator during next days. I was agree to add the provider I use. I just have to see how to reintegrate it.

For rows, no, I don't thing I'll add this possibility.

new beta of Pure grid with the new skin manager.

http://koxx3.free.fr/widgets_apps/PureGridCalendar119b2.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] Birba:
Tried the new beta. When I tap on a date, the date arrows and add icons are not centered.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
oh ? can you take a screeshot or a camera shot ?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
so with the new skin manager we have to put our own in like for pure calendar? ie. edit the xml files?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
same here- but for some reason screenshot isnt working with latest cyanogen so cant take a pic here at work....

to use my own image i just renamed one of the ones in the folder to something else and named mine to the official one :D no xml editing here at work unfortunately.
[G1 Apps and Games] Birba:
Sent you the screenshot to your email.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks you !

The problem should be solved with this version :

http://koxx3.free.fr/widgets_apps/PureGridCalendar119b3.apk

Yes, exactly !

But I think it can work even if you do not edit the XML (since there is no 9 patch for those skins).
[G1 Apps and Games] Birba:
Ok, work now again like it should.

@Francois: can you explain me what the new skin manager does?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
- manage strechable skins (9 patch)

- add preview action

- add delete all (menu key)

- load small image preview from the server

- should solve memory issue for some users

- manage storage of selected skin in internal phone memory (boost perfo)

- ...
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
does that mean i can make my skin i made into a 9patchdrawable and it will stretch perfectly in landscape?

**edit*** correct- i didnt have to edit the xmls but the name of the images didnt come up- just the 100x100 pixel image i made....
[G1 Apps and Games] Birba:
will the selected skin automatically be stored to the internal memory?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Fit in landscape ?

for what Pure cal or pure grid ?

For both : no.

It not a skin limitation, but my layout definition.
[G1 Apps and Games] nt14515:

New pure grid calendar version published :

1.2.1 : support Corporate calendar for Quick event insertion + config bug fix

1.2.0 : add corporate calendars support
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I'll think about it ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
a new beta for pure grid :

- allow event edit/delete/add (in day viewer)

If it works correctly, I'll add the same window in Pure calendar :p

http://koxx3.free.fr/widgets_apps/PureGridCalendar122b1.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] nt14515:
In my opinion, It's more convenience to add the event in the quick event insertion because people usually miss the colons just like me. =]

"mm/dd hhmm-hhmm event" might be the best and the quickest way to input event in the quick event insertion function.

[G1 Apps and Games] roggan:
Hi,

Is there an option to open astrid on taping the widget? I thought I remember your post a few pages back saying that this would be possible. Just wanted to make sure I am not missing it somewhere.

Thanks! Loving the widget :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
not in 'pure grid cal', only in 'pure cal'
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
The lastest day viewer in Pure Grid really sucks:

first of all, the list's color is off. When it scrolls it went black (a similiar problem with your skin picker, whose backgroud color changes to grey when scrolling; but there you can at least see the items while scrolling instead of just blacking out!). And the "blend" to show that there is more to scroll does not match the background color (you might want to read this if you haven't: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-is-my-list-black-android.html).

Second, the list item height is way more than enough to show the events, which mean I need to scroll even for a day with merely 4 events, which should nicely fit into a page. The day viewer should give me an overview of my day, and havng to scroll even for small number of events (combining with the issue above that the list blacks out whenever I scroll so I can see nothing) is very irritating since I can't see all my events on that day on a glance.

Third, a bug. Long event names is broken up improperly. I see something like:

(the maximum lines per event in my settings is 3, but that event should fit more than smugly on 2 lines).

Sorry to be so negative, but the lastest beta is unusable for me at all b/c of the above issues. I'll revert to my backup copy of the app
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
This is the reason why it is called a beta.

All problems you are talking about can be solved in 5 minutes ! lol

08:30 : start working

08:30 : line wrap solved

08:33 : selection color fixed

08:35 : view is higher (enought to see 4 or 5 events, which is enough for most people)

08:37 : new beta published

http://koxx3.free.fr/widgets_apps/PureGridCalendar122b3.apk

now, I can take my breakfast and go to work ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
Well I know 2 that I mentioned are at least easy fixes (I also writes app for my own amusement) :) But not quite fixed: the list scrolling color now is white and still does not match the background color of your activity; why don't you set android:cacheColorHint to your activity's background color? Having the list changing color as one scroll is very annoying and certainly not aethetically pleasing.

And there is still too much white space in the list item for my taste. I would imagine that you will have lots of complaints if you put so much white space in your other calendar widget! Personal taste of course and I can always revert back to my backup where you just have plain text in the day view; I would really like to see a configuration for the list item height (i.e. to decrease the margins and remove the black lines at the bottom). I think only people with light calendar usage would appreciate the white space, not people who frequently have 7 or more events per day. Count that as a feature request ;)

And the line break still have problems. Your newest beta solve the wrapping problem of one of my events, the other of my event (camerflaged but the word length is the same as my problematic event) is still broken in wrong place:

> aaaaaaa Renaissance aaaaaaaa:

An

aaaaaaa Christmas

[this is a multi-day event; the first day (i.e. without the "<") works fine]
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
For color, OK, I'll use the background color.

"too much white space" ... I tried variable list size, for me it's a disaster : arrows move from one day to another (depends of events count).

For me, the requirement is : show 4 events + enought space for each event to be clickable.

I won't add an option for that. There is enough options...

I can reduce a little bit the '+' bar, but I'll add new icons in this zone soon (Droid calendar '+', Astrid '+'...).

For line wrap, I an not able to reproduce your bug, can you give me the exact event description and string ?

The biggest problem is : they doesn't evolve !

The website is really poor and badly organized.

They also had a big big problem (the reason why they had to change the name).

So, for those reasons, I decided to end all distribution with them...

It was too difficult for less than 1% of users. I am sorry for all custumers.
