[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
it was explained few pages ago.

I had multiple solutions solutions for landscape management.

I'll take an example with a 4x2 skin :

- either I stretch the image '320x200' to fit the landscape size (~400x160) > the old solution, but it has really bad looking with skins with details like day bar

- either I fit the image in 400x160, result is a 200x160 > very small, unreadable, technique used with 'pure grid'

- either I recalculate all the page when screen is rotating, and each time you provide a skin, you have to provide 2 images (portrait & landscape) > very boring to have to create 2 images for 1 skin, use a lot of CPU to redraw the widget when rotating

- either I keep the normal image, and it cut the bottom to fill 400x160 > the new solution.

My conclusion is : the is no perfect solution, but I hate to see streched images in old version (especially with default skins), I prefer to cut the bottom. And landscape mode is not the main mode (lot of people doesn't have home in landscape if they don't have a G1/Dream, but Magic, Hero or Galaxy).

In futur version, I'll just center it in landscape (currently aligned on left border = dirty).
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
thanks ;)

this is the original moonsspoon skins, just udpate skin list ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Any idea when the "+++" marked todos for pure calendar and grid calendar could be done and available in the market?

Seems like the next release will be the most important one for me (Timeline management optimization in grid calendar, Scrolling in pure calendar).

bye,

[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
In order :

- I want to publish a very stable version 'pure grid' and 'pure cal' (a major bug with date duplication in 'pure grid' and 'pure cal')

- I want to publish a first commercial version of 'Pure messaging' (around 10 days needed)

- then, I'll be able to go back to 'Pure cal' & 'pure grid'

Let's say around 2 weeks.

And what you ask require a lot of work (scrolling for 'pure cal' estimated to 10h / overlapping estimated to 4h).
[G1 Apps and Games] Eduardo911:
ah i see, thanks! as it is but centered is a-ok with me, i can live with the rounded bottoms being cut off =) i only noticed because i flipped the keyboard out to try the quick entry, which i don't normally do very often anyway
[G1 Apps and Games] jomil:
hey :) i changed the colour of the tiny calendar on one of the more recent skins so it looks better when the widget text set to black. hope this helps!
[G1 Apps and Games] closeshave2:
I guess I use my phone in landscape mode quite a bit. Having the bottom of the skin cut off just looks wrong. Just my humble opinion... I removed the widget and went back to the stock calendar widget. I'll keep an eye open for the next update. Maybe a better solution can be found?

On the other hand, I'm liking the screen caps of pure grid are looking. Maybe I'll try that out in the mean time...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
That's very strange, nobody noticed how it was ugly before this new layout ????
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks, i'll upload it on the server during next days :D
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
I like the new option to remove the buttons!

But it would be cool if tapping the date would bring up the Quick Insert again. And I'd like the option to also remove the config button. Without it you can have one of the longer date display options on 2xX widgets without overlapping the config button ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
nice. thanks for this. I dumped it into the folder and now my widget looks so much better... might have to have a crack at making my own tonight :D
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
uploaded to server.

If you can do it for 4x4, it take it :)

no, after, that everybody will complain for reconfiguration. :(

and If I continue like that the configuration panel will have 100 options. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
Well, I did not mean for you to disable the reconfiguration area for tapping. Just hiding the button will suffice. If you don't hide the button by default, no one should complain. If someone hides the button, the possibility to reconfigure by tapping where the button normally resides should be kept of course.

What about tapping the main date, can you restore functionality to quick insert by tapping it?

About the options count: It's a higly configurable widget, so i don't see why someone should complain about the number of options.

Just my opinion, though ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koenv:
Hi, I've got the pure calendar widget on my G1 for a while now and I really love it.

However, since the update interval setting is removed in some recent version, I suspect the widget from draining my battery. Power usage has doubled.

More people there experiencing this issue?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Here are list of events for launching a refresh :

- periodical refresh (configuration is back in 1.4.1, and can be disabled)

- on calendar modification (add/remove event >> can't be disabled)

- after event end if past events are visibles

- at midnight to change current date

I didn't notice anormal update rate... but I am not representative, my G1 is drainin fast since I test a lot of widgets and apps ;)

So, if you add 2 events during a day, disable past events and disable periodical refresh.

It should update 3 times during the day (1 per event + 1 at midnight).
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
I second that! I don't want to see the add button for 2x widgets since their horizontal space is limited, but I don't want to lose the quick add funtionality. The widget itself is big enough that I don't think anyone will miss the functionality that touch the little title bar will bring up calendar since the rest of the widget will do that as well.

On the second note (just a thought), I know that the calendar API is not open, but everytime I bring up calendar from the launch it remembers the last view it was in (week, month, day, etc.) , can you launch the main launcher intent of the calendar instead of launching the agenda intent?
[G1 Apps and Games] jomil:
fixed white skins :-)

(you should take the skin "Jon" off the server lol ;) looks silly!!! i gave them names in suit of the rest) x
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks,

skins uploaded.

You have to "remove" the previous one. It will redownload the new one automatically.
[G1 Apps and Games] Pyrazol:
May I ask: why only if past events are visible? That really doesn't make sense to me. I'm using a 4x1 widget, and if I have past events visible, then I wouldn't see any new events anymore. But I still want my widget to update automatically!

Is this already implemented in the current market release? It doesn't seem to work for me :(
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
past events > yes, I agree, I'll change that.

midnight > yes, it should be, but yesterday it doesn't works for me ... I'll check the code for that.
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
is it possible that pure grid calendar uses a greater amount of memory than your other widgets?

using pure messaging, calendar and the weather widget is no problem, but either size of pure grid seems to slow down my htc magic (stock vodafone) when coming back to the dxtop home screen(s). if i use grid and open the browser for example, dxtop has to reload itself and all the widgets afterwards it seems. without pure grid there is no such problem. nothing that can be done about it i suppose? (apart from rooting or getting a phone with more memory of course :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, the big bitmap in 4x4 (320x400) use 'a lot' of memory (around 600kb).
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Koxx, any chance to get settings saved on updates?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
yes it's done since the new version. Next updates won't require to reset the database (and loose settings) ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] kopfleuchten:
Problems since update

Hi,

first of all I would like THANK YOU for this great application! Great job!

But after updating pure calendar and pure grid calendar (this weekend), I have the problem that the calendar doesn't load anymore. The Pure Grid Calendar still works great, but the Calendar stopps saying: "loading data...". Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

I'm using the widged on my HTC Hero and I wanted to use it as 4x2.

Thanks a lot!

Best
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
very strange.

Can you remove the widget from the desktop, configure a new one, and send me your logcat ?

thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
she*t ... I found a bug in database update management. You have to uninstall this version and reinstall it from market. sorry ...

I do my best to manage database upgrade, but it's complicated. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] kopfleuchten:
Thanks a lot!

It works again after deinstall and reinstall!

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
Never mind my hero question. Got it to work.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
on another note:

i like the old icons much more than the new ones. can we have them back? ;)

the new icons look very old school while the old ones had a much cooler look to them...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
no, not agree. It comes from my icon designer, and I want to keep a 'unity' in all my icons

look at all icons in cyrket : http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=pub:"Francois DESLANDES"

aren't they beautiful ?.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
they are not bad, but the colors are too bland. somehow reminds me of printed paper. ;)

The old icons had vibrant color, which i prefer.

But nevermind, with widgets i don't get to see icons often anyway, there are more pressing issues like timeline management which need a fix. :)

btw: could you already start with the timeline management overhaul? i saw that your messaging widget is released now...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I am in business trip...

and I still have a lot of work on Pure messenger to support POP3...

But I'll see if I have time next week end for timeline.
[G1 Apps and Games] ccunningham83:
Which application would I use to get this view? I already have the Pure Calendar widget. I want it to look like this one but don't know if this is the Pure Grid calendar or if I am just skinning it wrong. I would prefer not to buy more applications than I already have.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I don't understand your request.

None of my widgets are on this desktop ...

There is only a theme, official cupcake widgets and a twiter widget .....
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
it came out of manups xTHEME for cyanogen 404.

it is just a themed cupcake calendar widget. you can get it from the theme it came from, go in and extract the calendar widget from it and push to your phone. make sure its for your rom.
[G1 Apps and Games] jomil:
i have a suggestion for grid calendar: when you click on a date and the pop up appears with the events for that day, how about having the quick add button also appear within the popup which when clicked, automatically begins an event additon on that specific day?
[G1 Apps and Games] ccunningham83:
Thank you for this information, it was actually already in the theme I am running (Blackened by Jonnybueno) as the cupcake calendar. No extraction necessary. I just didn't realize it.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Published on the blog, thanks ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I am back from my business trip for more updates (this week end) !

I am parsing my mails to take ideas and problems.

I applied the same 'patch' as in pure grid.

new beta for 'pure calendar' :

1.4.3b1 : option : kill service to reduce memory usage + option : show description + add color picker for text

http://koxx3.free.fr/widgets_apps/PureCalendar143b1.apk

can somebody test it before I publish it ?
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
Looks good so far, service gets killed. Color picker works, too.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
thanks

version published !
[G1 Apps and Games] bubu:
hi, today with the last version i've recived two error memory's message and the widget disappear,

only a reboot as reuploaded the widget..

no one with this problem?
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
ah, thanks. then tapping on the calendar seems reserved for taking us to the days we tap on i assume :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
It 's not very clear. I think, I'll add a button. It will be more ergonomic
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
ahah ... I'd like ... but I don't have Google Calendar API access, so ... I don't know how to do that !
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
yea or you can also make the entire widget clickable and anywhere you click will open up the calendar, simliar to when you click anywhere on the weather widget, the forecast opens up.
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
maybe reverse engineer quickcalendar ;) it could take you to single entries by tappining on them if i remember correctly.

edit: made a re-ocurring all-day test entry. is it intentional that on the next days it shows "> -" in front of them? ah, and it would be nice if all-day events could always be displayed first, like in google calendar. i assume, the main changes with pure calendar will make it into the weather forecast widget, too?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
reveerse engineering >> it's not so easy ... all you can get is assmbler i think. Lol ... I'am not a pro. But Im searching in google android source code.

"> -" >> no, not normal ;)

modifications >> yes all modifications made on pure calendar to manage events will be merged in 'weather forecast widget' ... later :D

Icons

Hi,

in most of the coloured skins the icons are barely visible. A more conspicuous colour might be better.

Is the "update" button for manual updating, having chosen "no automatic update"? If so, it doesn't work (hero device).

Is there a possibility for manual updating for "no automatic update"?

Thanks!

S.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
For icons, I'll see what I can do. But, the goal is not to have very visible buttons (we'll see only that... argh)

I know that this button is currently not working correctly (and not only on Hero device), but it will be corrected.

I strongly advice to set an automatic update ... if you don't, it won't update at all. Even on day change...
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
I've noticed that the skin reverts to default every once in a while. Not permanently, just for a minute, then switches back. Just FYI.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
may be possible is sdcard is unmounted (removed or PC link) during update. otherwise, i don't know how it can be possible.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new beta 0.0.6 :

- correct "> -" problem

- add 'today' shortcut button

- all buttons are functionnals

- change buttons transparency (60% intead of 50%)

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureCalendar006.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
hmm, not for me :(

i just have a re-occuring test entry. it's a whole day event from today on and ends 31.8.2009

edit: the eye smbol is not very self explanatory, why not use a little calender symbol?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
for your events problems, I'll check.

your icons :

1 - is for todo list

2 - for notes ?

3 - for calendar ... but ugly in tiny (I tried ...)

4 - same as 2
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
put this together quickly from two source symbols, maybe that fits, they use a small version of this in the calendar options, too.

otherwise just keep the eye ;)

edit: made another one closer to the original.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
ahhhh :)

this one is good.

Simple, and should have good rendering in small size.

Thanks !
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
welcome, but you might try the edited one i put up as it's closer to the original.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
---- done
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hehehe ...

new beta 007 :

- events are sorted

- agenda shortcut icon changed

- manage monthly event

- fix bug with empty days

- new option "show week number in title bar"

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureCalendar007.apk

If there is no major bug, I'll publish this version on market :D
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
pretty cool, tried it for 10 minutes (have to bring the baby to bed now :)

i like that it shows everything that lies in the future if you don't select "show days without events"!

everything works & looks great to me.

i'll buy it from the market then later.

ah, but could you make the view 09:00 vs 9:00 an option? looks cleaner to me.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
perfect !

09:00 vs 9:00 > already available, look at the options ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] smacky63:
Great application!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
what kind of memory error ?

can you take the logcat if it happend another time ?

what ROM do you use ?
[G1 Apps and Games] bubu:
sorry koxx,

so i'm owner of an HTC HERO, the only mods at the original ROM i've installed the last original ROM (HTC website).

it says in italian : errore memoria interna il programma verrà chiuso

or similar today after this morning break it's working fine..

where i can find the logcat? i'm pretty new with the android sys..

btw i haven't download the b3 posted before, but i think i've the last buid
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
For logcat, use 'log collector' on the market to do it.

If you catch the log just after the bug, I should be able to find it :)
[G1 Apps and Games] yipcanjo:
Has anyone been able to get the Pure Calendar widget functioning with a Rogers-based build and/or Exchange calendar? I'm using the RogersMod ROM (see my sig) and syncing with my corp Exchange calendar. The widget loads and I can select my calendar in the config screen, but the widget is always empty -- no data at all.

Anyone else run into this or tested it?
[G1 Apps and Games] travon802:
I have Pure Calendar working with Alla's Rogers ROM. I used it on the stock MT3G ROM and switched over to the Rogers ROM with no problems. However, I'm not using Exchange to bring my work calendar over as it's not really possible at my job. I'm using Google Calendar Sync to bring it over to Google Calendar, which allows it to display in the Pure widget...
[G1 Apps and Games] yipcanjo:
You know what? It's crazy... I've tried getting this to work *several* times, but to no avail. Perhaps I had a slightly older version, 'cause I tried again today (shortly after posting this... natch) and it's working just fine!

Glad to have it back :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Pyrazol:
Hi koxx,

I just recently got a T-Mobile Pulse.

Pure Grid seems to work on it somewhat, although the whole view is distorted (see attached picture - unfortunately I can't take screenshots, sorry).

It seems to not display the daily timeline at all, which might be the problem.

Another problem is that when adding the widget, it sometimes doesn't appear. I think that might have to do with the Home App closing in the background while the user is in the settings dialog.

In case you want logs - apology here too. The Log Collector from the Market doesn't work on the Pulse either. (Those are about the only two apps that don't work. Arrgh.)
[G1 Apps and Games] bubu:
hi koxx,

my widget todays as crashed, i've installed the collector but i can't find nothing similar a log file...

any idea?

the last beta here says the link is not avaiable, it equal to the last buil published?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
nice :/

Very well know problems for widgets are :

- user should not push 'back' or 'home' during configuration

- user should not rotate the screen during configuration

This is an android problem in 1.5 & 1.6.

Your 'pulse' seems to have strange behaviour.

And without logcat, I can't do anyhting :(
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
As usual, when version is published on the market, betas are removed from my FTP server.

Last version is on the market.

A crash without logcat is VERY hard to explain (special conditions ? rotation ? configuration ? ...)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
good ;)

sometime, you need to uninstall/reinstall the software is database is crashed (especially before I managed database upgrade < 1.4.1).
[G1 Apps and Games] bubu:
hi koxx,

it seems to crash when it come back directly to the widget page from the standard browser app.

i can't turn the screen with the main page open, simply my hero do not permit this..

ok, so i've the last build.. strange.. today at the moment is still working without problem.. i hope it will continue..
[G1 Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Is it possible to get a widget 3 wide by 4 deep.

To me this seems an obviously useful size, many of my appointments aren't all that wide, so if it's 4 deep still, I get all appointments possible and still space down the edge for sticky notes or anything else. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
If you adapt few skins for it (something clean), I'll add it.
[G1 Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Anyone know what they are doing with skins? Could someone do this please? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
What do you mean ?

How to use skins ?

or how to create skins ?
[G1 Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
No, you said it there was a 3 wide by 4 deep skin, then you would implement it in the widget. I am asking if someone can please make one.

Hi koxx,

for me the 'pure calender widget' is perfect.

but two things i don't like:

1. the date of 'today'! it's to large and not in the position like the other days

it would be great (for me) all dates look like the same...

2. in the settings, is it possible to supply the 'select date format' with: 'DayString., Day.MonthString' or something like this?

for example: in the moment it is "Mi 21 Oktober" but i want "Mi., 21. Oktober" or better "Mittwoch, 21. Oktober"

excuse me for my english but i hope you understand what i mean and what i want!?

Pure Grid

Hi again. Nice work you're doing...

A suggestion for the Pure Grid widget.

When you quickly tap a couple of days each day is displayed for X sec. Isn't possible to make it display the latest tap immediately instead of the waiting time - don't know if it makes sense?

If you by accident tap a wrong date you have to wait X seconds for it to display before the next tap is displayed...

That's actually the only thing thats missing for now :-)
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Hi,

pure calendar is nearly perfect, but grid calendar really needs timeline management fix soon.

I have a quite busy schedule this weeks, and on the grid calender the timebars are all over the space. I have no clue when meetings are overlapping and when not, since its not displayed correctly.

Right now the only thing the gridcalendar timelines tell me is how many meetings i have, but i have no clue WHEN the meetings are since the overlapping algorithm doesnt work.

when do you think this will be fixed?

bye,
