I don't even know how to call that bar in my nature language :)

Maybe "Daily events timeline"?

One bug that I've found:

- One event starting at 14h00 ending at 16h00 with the name "Management meeting about Agile/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is cut to "Management meeting about A..." but the last dot appears in line bellow.

This with a single event per line option enable.

I have a screenshot but don't know how to put it here :)
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
The busy day bar mimics google calendars "All Day" Events, correct?

I assume the colors are relating to source calendar colors in Google Calendar?

So if a bar exists on a day does that mean to imply I have no more free time in my day? If so, "Daily Availability" might work for a title. Kind of unclear on the function of the bars here... looks nice though!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
"Daily events timeline" seems fine to me, thanks ! :)

can you try this beta :

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureCalendar139b4.apk

if you're problem is in 4*x size, it should solve your problem.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
busy bar > yes, same behaviour than Google calendar website.

I have a lot of problem with memory usage. I reached the 400ko limit for widget layout :(
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Yes. Problem was in a 4x2 version.

Now it is working ok.

You are assuming some fixed font size on the output?

So didn't find a function to do this on the exact pixel size of each character?

ready for market release. Can someone test it please ?
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
For me the bars are very small. I almost cannot see them.

In grey background seems like lost pixels. In white I cannot see the lines that separate days and I confuse if the bars are for the day above or bellow.

I also saw that when I have events that have no conflict but are sequential, they appear in different lines like: 17h00->17h15 then 17h15->17h30 and then 17h30->18h00 are on different lines.

I believe it is best to have all of them sequential. Only add a new line if they really conflict in time.

Here are my suggestions:

MUST HAVE:

- Add an option to specify the start time and end time of the bar. For instance I have my Outlook with 08h to 20h that means 12H, so it would lead to twice the pixels per event.

NICE:

- change the day to the top left corner of the box. I believe this is the "standard" way of showing a date and would be more intuitive when I cannot see the lines

- Add an option to add a color that will be added if no event exists. Like white or black background of the bar. This allows to locate the bar and the event pixels. Otherwise like, I said, using transparent or grey background it just seem like lost pixels on the screen. It has very few contrast.

- Add an option to consider a minimum time between events (like 5 min, 15min) so if the events don't have that time between them, are displayed in different lines.

FUTURE VERSION:

-Make a very simple 2x2 calendar just with dates that once clicked open this one in 4x4 as an application. In general I would not need to see the details of the days but with a single click I would have everything available

[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
start/stop : yes, this is scheduled ;)

top left : day in top left, and timeline bars at bottom ? It won't be possible without heavy modifications (layout are hardcoded. no choice with widgets).

timeline backgournd color : good idea, but I think it will have a dirty result. Can you try to show me on a modified screenshot ?

time between events : I'll check that.

2x2 : already scheduled, look at first page
[G1 Apps and Games] Pyrazol:
I totally agree. It seems really cluttered with those small bars. I'd suggest something like the month view in the Google calendar app. It shows those bars too, but they have a minimum size. That does make it a bit less exact, but the bars in Pure grid are so small anyway.

I'd make it so that they are at least 5 pixel wide or something... just so they look less like weird lost pixels floating around.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I'll try with 5 pixels. Currently, mimum is set at 2 pixels.
[G1 Apps and Games] Chahk:
Loving the new functionality. But I'm still seeing two November firsts :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I still don't have solution for this.

I believe it's a ROM problem ... which ROM are you using ?

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureGridCalendar104b2.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Looks better. Work good on white and moon_dark with low brightness.

But for the others I thing it needs higher brightness to understand the calendar color.

Bug: Settings for the Pixel height are not persistent.

I still see the consecutive events on different lines but you most likely didn't change it. :)

Also, forget the line background tested and was difficult to make it look good. This can be done on the background with better results.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
brightness > I don't know how to solve it... as I said, I think a plain color for timeline backgroud is a dirty solution. I'd like to find something better.

bug Pixel height persistent > already solved in beta 2

consecutive events > look at the capture. You'are right if events are really close :

- evt1 15h15 -> 15h30

- evt2 15h30 -> 16h00

==> 2 lines

And i prefer to keep it like this because, when calendars are differents, you will override the previous event color.

it works for other events.

new 'pure grid' beta 1.0.4b3 :

- bug fix : double date removed (1rst nov problem)

http://koxx3.free.fr/PureGridCalendar104b3.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] licenced:
PureGridCal looks great with the timeline data!

I still think there is a lot of wasted screen estate above and below the widget - with the 4x4 grid there is a lot of space unused on the screen, which is used to full effect on PureCal - if you expanded the PureGridCal widget to use all the space then the grid squares could themselves be larger and so allow for bigger timeline bars.

I would also prefer there to only be five rows in the grid showing dates, which would also allow the squares to be larger. I understand you currently have six to guarantee a previous-month and a next-month date to click to move forwards and backwards. The Hero HTC calendar widget allows swiping up and down to move forwards and backwards - is this a feature specific to the Hero ROM that can't be replicated under standard Android?

Dave
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
4x4 space used > I'll see... but I prefer to avoid using full space. If I had to rebuild 'Pure calendar', I'll leave few space around it... I think it's really more beautiful. May be a new '4x4 full' in few days ... I'll think about it.

gestures > impossible with android SDK.
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Not sure if I understood.

If the entries are from different calendars then have them in different lines. But if two events are from the same calendar and there is no conflict, I don't see a reason for having them in two lines. Just confuses the user.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Ok, ok.

For example, for day 19, you want only 1 blue line (and not 3).

Same thing for day 11 ? only 1 blue line ?

If this is what you mean, I don't like it ... but if many people ask for it, no problem, I'll add an option.

Personnaly, I prefer day 19 and day 11 like they are.
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
No, I don't want to have a single blue line. The concept you have seems for me almost ok. Just some short enhancement.

A case for two lines:

Event 1 : 17h00->17h30 - appears on line 1

Event 2: 17h15->17h30 - appears on line 2 as it occurs at the same time of one in line 1

Event 3: 17h30->18h30 - appears on line 1

But if the configuration is like this:

Event 1 : 17h00->17h15

Event 2: 17h15->17h30

Event 3: 17h30->18h30

You can display a single line that starts at 17h00 and end at 18h30.

So a second blue line means: two events happening at the same time. and a third that there are three.

But if you don't like it then wait to see if there is more feedback on this.

On PureGridCalendar I would add calendar colors on the popup window, the windows that pops up when you click on a day. This way you can see to which calendar each listed event belogs.
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Bug: Calendar didn't update to the current day (stayed on yesterday). Needed to make a manual refresh.

Bug: When clicking a day, the event "Management meeting about AgileXXXXXX"

Appeared as "Management meeting about Agil..." but the last two dots appeared in the next line.
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
Shouldn't the "refresh" icon be gone, now that the widget automatically refreshes? ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
yes, but the auto refresh is still in beta test ;)

bug1 > yes, I'll program and update at midnight :)

bug2 > ok, I'll correct that.
[G1 Apps and Games] Pyrazol:
I must say, the event timeline start/stop hours totally don't work as expected.

Example:

- You can't enter the whole day for it. If I enter 0.00 as start and stop hours it seems to only display all day events.

- You can't have the start hours be on one day and the stop hours the next. If I enter 6:00 as the start hour and 3:00 as the stop hour (so that it leaves out everything between 3 and 6) it doesn't work either.

Oh and I like it much better with the 5 pixel minimum size. I would even increase it to 10 px but I don't know if you'll like that ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
as i already wrote to you by email:

- 4*3 widget of pure grid calendar shows a 4*2 widget which takes the space of a 4*3 widget. :)

- using rounded edges in the timelines would really help seperating followup meetings, maybe using alternating color of the current calendar would also help. (i.e. if the color of the calendar is green, using light green as alternative color on follow up meetings)

Generally the best example is pocket informant for IPhone, you could just basically try to implement everything from the Pocketinformant month view to pure grid calendar widget :)

I will add all my suggestions in this topic instead of writing hundreds of emails to you, because many things have already been mentioned here.

Also is there any way from pure grid calendar to actually open the calendar app? I really love the popup informations but there should be also a way to access the calendar directly.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah the bigger the better, but i would actually also like to have TWO timelines:

one line for AM and another line for PM events. But i see that there could be place issues if you have overlapping meetings on AM or PM timeline...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
all day > you have to select start = 0 / stop = 24. It works fine. I will forbid start < stop.

start/stop on 2 days > not managed. That's a very special need. I don't know if I'll implement it.

very confusing... so : not agree.

remarks taken into account in first page.

No problem for putting ideas in the topic ;)

colours are already slightly modified to create a ligth effect around the bar.

calendar app open at day selected > not available as entry point of regular calendar app (fordidden).
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
remember : ideas taken into accout AND bugs are listed in first page
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
The AM/PM Timelines are used for the Pocket Informant Month view. I think this is not confusing if you take a look at this screenshot:

http://www.pocketinformant.com/graphics/iPhone/screenshots/PI/PI_002.png

I have been working with this view on all Windows Mobile devices too, and it really helps to see whether your meetings are in the morning or after 12:00 AM at one glance.

Would be great if you could take that into consideration, as one of the most successful PIM apps out there Pocket Informant is using that view very successfully ;)

Edit: Overlapping items are shown as RED timebars. So that way you could also solve the space issue.

I am having the same problem with all 3 apps (Pure calendar, pure grid and forecast widget):

I am running on cyanogen 4.1.11.1 which is a kind of donut 1.6.:

either I don't manage to get the widgets to work OR they show up but after a few minutes they have "problem loading widget". When you ask in the cyanogen thread, you are told to ask the developer to update the app for donut.

the apps worked on cyanogen 4.9.2.

So now, I don't know what is right. Are the (paid) widgets ready for 1.6 donut?

Thank you koxx or anybody else.
[G1 Apps and Games] Chahk:
Both paid (d/l from Market) and free (betas posted here by koxx) work fine for me on CM 4.1.11.1. Have you tried completely uninstalling the apps, removing all traces of them and then installing fresh?

EDIT:

Oh and btw, the double-Nov 1st issue is resolved in the latest market release.
[G1 Apps and Games] dakotapod:
I'm using both calendar widgets on 4.1.11.1 with no problems at all. I did remove them from the screen before rom update, and then put them back. Have you tried to remove/reload?

[G1 Apps and Games] roggan:
Hi,

For the pure calendar widget, is there any option to change what the calendar opens up to when clicked. Right now, when I click on it, it opens up the Agenda view, which I don't like. I would like for it to show a 30 day or daily view when I touch the calendar...Everytime I change the settings though, it goes right back to the Agenda view.

How can I make it open in a 30 day view of a 1 day view?

Thanks, that's the only thing I'm having problems with. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
no you can't. Because the 4*1 pure calendar widget won't update everytime you touch a day on the grid calendar. A combined widget would update the bottom area everytime you touch a different day on the above grid.

or at least this is how i would like it to be, don't know if the original poster meant it that way ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] xitulofica:
Hello.

I also would like to change that, like roggan said.

I apreciate if someone could look into it.

Thank you all.
[G1 Apps and Games] xitulofica:
That is an excelent idea.

I don't know if it can be done, but I like the idea very much.

I would be very interested in a "combined widget", it would be another offer, another option and everybody could get what he or she likes best.

Great idea and this is a great job by koxx, congratulations and thank you so much for your job.

(I know I didn't bought it yet, I'm using latest beta of pure calendar, I'm sorry, but I will buy it, I promise and you deserve every cent, I'm just trying to find the best way, affraid of online shopping, finding the best option)
[G1 Apps and Games] licenced:
I've requested this a couple of times I think in this thread - if more people ask, showing that it's popular with a lot of us that will help it get into consideration :-)
[G1 Apps and Games] xitulofica:
Exactily!

I agree. That's why I posted my opinion and I encourage everyone to do it.

That's the whole point of this forum and that's how the developers can know if they are developing well or what they can do to get it better :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Chahk:
I didn't say it'd be pretty, I just said you could ;) I agree that the 4x3 pure calendar still needs work. I don't see why it can't show the entire month, and compromise on the pretty graphics by compressing all that wasted space on the header and footer.

There is no benefit of having the 4x1 agenda piece update with the selected day's events, since you already have a pop-up for that. Agenda is just that - all your calendar entries in the nearest future. Besides, seeing how koxx charges for both widgets separately, I don't think he'd be open to combining the two. You never know though.
[G1 Apps and Games] sputnik99:
I'm afraid, wiping completely, reformatting my sd, uninstalling widgets, opening calendar before installing the widgets... doesn't help.

It's strange because all widgets are reported working with 4.1.11.1 .

Another thing I noticed: I don't see the timeline view (when the widgets work in the 10 minutes after installing on home screen). waht do I have to do to activate the timeline view?
[G1 Apps and Games] efreese:
pure calendar - bold current items

Thanks for this great tool - it has a prominent place on my main screen :D

Would it be possible to display any event that is currently in bold text? For example at 3PM a meeting that went from 2:30 to 3:30 would be bolded.

Whether all-day events were also bolded would be a design/aesthetic issue for you to decide. Possibly whether anything was bolded could be a user option.
[G1 Apps and Games] yipcanjo:
I sent an email to the dev on this, but I haven't heard back yet... thought I'd post in the official thread as well.

Anyhow, I'm using the RogersMod (in my sig) ROM, which has full Exchange support -- including calendars. I purchased the Pure Calendar widget when I was using Cyanogen 4.0.4, which obviously works fine. With my current ROM, though, the widget is empty. I can place it on the screen, choose 'Exchange' as my calendar, and set the other preferences, but the data never shows up.

Ideas, anyone? Any similar experiences out there?? :confused:

hey everyone, if you read, the devis only a business trip for a week or two. wont be around to answer questions much.

well, you cant do it. it's not really doing it if it only shows half the month. it has the potential of doing it, but not in it's current form.
[G1 Apps and Games] crazyjoezx:
1)Set Grid skin to "gridcal_grid_4x4_moon_d..."

2)Set Agenda skin to "dark_gray_outlined_white"

3)?????

4)PROFIT!!

sry i dont have a screen grabbing app to show you (is there any free ones??)

but someone else can try it and post it...

actually looks really nice,...BUT...you only get 3 weeks in the calender with dates and the bottom 2 weeks are empty boxes ,AND you can only see your closest up coming event (could prob fit 2+ by removing the header and changing font size)..oh and also make sure you have both text set to white for best look

hope this helps till a fix comes out :)

EDIT:

i didnt see this mentioned as a bug in the 1st post but when viewing horizontally ...the grid box shrinks but the date numbers stay the same making everything out of place...again sry cant get a screen shot
[G1 Apps and Games] licenced:
Looks almost OK

Goes to show there is plenty of space for both a 4x3 grid and a 4x1 agenda.

Just found a bug though ... I have a 4x4 grid on another page and the 4x3 grid on the page on the screenshot shown above. When I click the first or last day in the 4x3 grid to move backawards/forwards it shows the normal message 'updating' but then nothing appears to happen. However, an update HAS occured, but on the 4x4 grid rather than on the 4x3 grid I am viewing.

Also, as you can see, the title has become confused and is saying October even though today is September (although it has highlighted the days in October)

I have a question for Koxx or anyone else that knows the answer to this one.

In both the PureCalendar and PureGrid options I have selected to view the events from 'People Event Calendar'. I'm assuming this relates to the 'People' application so should enable showing of contacts birthday's etc?

How should these be shown? What colour would they be? I have a contact with a birthday on Saturday, yet this is not shown on either widget.

I have a Hero with the latest HTC ROM.

Thanks

Dave
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Yes, there is a benefit. The pop-up will vanish too quickly on busy days, were i would like to have more time to see whats coming up. Therefore having an area which stays at the selected day without disappering seems very benefitial to me.
[G1 Apps and Games] crazyjoezx:
Thanks for the upload licenced, what app do you use for the screen shots?

half this issue can be taken care of if someone makes a new skin for both that just appears that they are one app...all that really needs to be done is remove(or make really thin) the top bar on the agenda and straighten up those curved corners ; or have a slight curve then go up....then all thats left is the programing by Koxx to fix those empty boxes!...i would make the skin but as you can see by my mock up it prob wouldnt look so well lol

This takes some set up on your part on the google calender website.

heres a quick run down....(i learned everything last night my self lol)

hope this helps :)...gotta run to that doc apt!! good luck!!
[G1 Apps and Games] licenced:
I don't think that's right - I have all of my Google Calendars appearing for selection too, but the 'People Event Calendar' does not come from the Google account - it's something that sounds like it should show the events related to the contacts on the phone.

Is the issue maybe that all the contacts on my phone are actually contacts that are synchronised from Google, rather than being stand-alone contacts in the phone itself?

Thanks for your help though.

No worries. Under settings there is a Select Calendars button - it's in there as one of the selections along with 'My Calendar' (phone internal calendar), 'Exchange', 'Outlook', and all my Google account calendars.
