I'll see what I can do, but I am still not convinced for AM/PM split.

It's good in a full app, but in a widget, I think it's too much.

Cool, it works with Donut. Thanks for the test !

this is not possible, because each time you click on a date, the software will have to redraw all the widget... and for this, the app should read ALL the calendar database for the whole month. So, it will be verrrrry slow (~5/10 sec each time you click).

I'll think about an annexe widget for pure grid, that you can add or not, provided with pure grid. May I'll be able to refresh only this 'small' widget part with clicked day events. I don't know if it can work.

Or may be initiate communication between both widgets to allow a day click in 'pure grid' to select a date in 'pure calendar'...

Both solutions are difficult and not perfect.

But I ear your request ... ;) I just have to find a good way.

ADDED TO TODO LIST.

I agree, it's ugly at this time, I have to create common skins, and add space around 'pure calendar'.

ADDED TO TODO LIST.

Already answered : Not possible, not allowed but google application.

Available entry points :

- agenda view

- edit event

I will try to add a more interesting popup, with color and not auto closed to be able to read day with a lot of events.

ADDED TO TODO LIST.

I'll try :)

ADDED TO TODO LIST.

sorry, I don't have exhange on my phone, I can't test it :(

I know that 4x3 'scroll' is buggy at this time, I hope I'll have time to work on it this weekend.

already in bug list.

I worked with 'EboBirthday' developper to make it working with this software (before our work, events was not corretly written in database by EboBirthday and pure calendar cannot handle it). I advise you to use this app (free) to show birthdays in calendars ;)

fully agree, I'll work on it (see upper).

Thanks for the explanation !

Can I use your captures for a post on my blog ?
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
Please leave this as an option! I like the edge-to-edge design of the current widget and prefer to see more text than empty space ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
it can't be an option (have to be hardcoded) :(

we'll vote : do you want a free space of 2/3 pixels around current 'pure calendar' widget.

- yes : 2 (me + 1 mail)

- no : 1 (polygonal)
[G1 Apps and Games] licenced:
If it's only 2 or 3 pixels on the left and right then I'm OK with it as it will match PureGrid.

Top and bottom should be the same as left and right - 2 or 3 pixels - not the large top and bottom gaps that PureGrid has as I think that's too much wasted space (sorry to keep going on about that :) - but if you used more space top and bottom with PureGrid you could probably get a whole month in the 4x3 grid).

[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
actually i would prefer a widget that uses the space to show content more than a widget that leaves too much space at the edges. Having spaces may look better but is not as practical.

t

Take the htc peep widget as example:

http://smartphoneblogging.com/wp-content/gallery/htcsense/htcsense_twitter_widget_big.png

in this case you see a lot of text of the tweets in a small widget, and a LOT of wasted space at the edges. I would have preferred to get slightly bigger text (and therefore a bigger widget) and less wastes space.

Having said that: 1-2 Pixel is ok, shouldnt really take too much space.

But the grid calendar widget has already too much wastes space for my taste. Especially since you want to show informations about a whole month, you should use any space available on-screen.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I think 2 pixels is a good compromise (not too much space lost, better rendering).

Just have a look on this :
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yes, 2 pixels is definetly a good solution.

[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
Okay; if you leave spaces for the 4x widgets it's fine, but don't mess with 2x and 3x (especially 2x) since they have very precious horizontal spaces to start with.

Scrolling is not working for pure grid 4x2? And the refresh button is still there ;)

Is there a way to make scrolling more snappy if I need to scroll months ahead? If possible, can you show the calendar first (which should take little time, right?) while fetching the events? Then I can go quickly ahead to few months ahead instead of waiting for events for each month in between to load.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, it's a good idea. edges space on only for 4*x.

Scrolling should work for all widget sizes in 'pure grid'.

For 'refresh icon', I don't think I'll remove permantly because it allow user to go back to current day when you scroll. It's not bad.

I think I'll make it configurable (hide option).
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
Scrolling is working for 4x3 and 4x4, but not in 4x2 for me. It somehow scrolls with the 4x3 widget if I have them both; it was actually stuck on July when I removed 4x3, until you hints that the refresh button takes it back to today ;)

Thoughts on this?

And possibility to make the timeline semi-transparent? From a visual standpoint they look a bit ugly as solid blocks of color ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I confirm the scrolling bug ;)

solved in 1.0.5b2

for scroll with delayed events refresh, it's very hard. But I am still trying to optimize screen refreshing time.

timelines transparency > ADDED TO TODO LIST
[G1 Apps and Games] Pyrazol:
I also think Pure Calendar looks better with the space on the sides :)

If you remove the refresh button, Pure Calendar will also need the "refresh upon event end" ability, and soon :D

[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
like the new grid calendar a lot. but 4*2 seems only to work on the default skin. all other skins have wrong timelines and are cut at the bottom.

and the pure calendar widget doesnt work at all. i get an error message when i try to add it to homescreen.

When will you be releasing the new versions on the market?

edit:

also the grid calendar still shows overlapping events when you have i.e. a meeting from 11:30 -12:00 and another starting from 12:00. I think fixing this issue is one of the most important tasks, because it will show many overlapping events in the grid calender even though there are really no time conflicts at all.
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
The new beta does not work with a lots of the skins; funny thing is, there is no error message but the skins that do not work just won't load (no refresh).

And now that there is no more refresh button we have a add button instead? I just wish there is less buttons since in the 2x widgets the day bar looks cluttered for slightly longer string (even something short like "Sep, 9/26"). Can we have the old behavior back, i.e. tap on today's date to quick add instead of an additional button?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
skins > yes, this is normal. when you see a skin named "4x4 blabla", it means "skin for 4x4 size layout".

release > may be tomorrow

overlapping > this is normal and wanted at this time. If you look some page earlier, it have been discussed.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
skin > see post above.

refresh button > I don't understand what you mean.
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
I'm talking about pure calendar, of course. The new beta has the "add" button instead of the refresh button on top line.

Same goes for the skin. I'm not talking about pure grid, but in pure calendar, skins such as "light_grey" "medium_grey_outlined" etc. (which does not have the 4x4 labels on them) do not work. They are shown as "applied" in the skin selector when I select them, but the widget will not change skin. Using "4_2_koxx_*" versions works, as well as the transparent one, but the rest does not work as far as the ones I tried.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yes you are right, i didn't notice the 4*4 in the skin names. :)

about overlapping events: i thought everybody agreed in the past pages that meetings that are not overlapping (Meeting 1 10:00-11:30, Meeting 2 11:30 - 13:00) should not be shown as overlapping events on grid calendar? or did i miss something? I can't imagine why anybody would want them to be shown as overlapping, since this will only confuse the user...you never know when the meetings are REALLY overlapping and when they are only directly after one another.

edit: never mind, i have seen that you added "improve timeline management overlapping" as a todo on the first page of this topic, but not the highest priority. So this will be fixed sometime later. Good to know! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
exactly ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] jomil:
nice work as always :) is it possible to include the option to have the pure grid calendar freeze the month view from the 1st? i.e always show each entire month and just show the current day progressing, instead of rolling up the weeks.

hope that makes sense lol (i think it only applies for the 4x3 widget?)

edit: i guess this only works if you can see the entire month in the 4x3 view, so only a month with 28days starting on a monday/sunday! :(
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
exactly, i won't works with month with more than 28 days since we have only 4 weeks in the display of 4x3.

[G1 Apps and Games] htcmagic:
Is there an option to display only one day (the current) in the pure calendar widget?

I am not interested to see other days because the days jobs are enough as it is. I dont mind if there are no appointments for a day, and have the widget empty.

I am using the 4x2 widget.

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i have another question:

would it be possible to provide an option which will always show the NEXT 30 days (or 3 weeks depending on widget size) regardless if its the current month or not for thr GRID Calendar widget.

Example: When i'm in the middle of the month 15. january, i'm not interested anymore to see how many appointments i had from 01.-14 january because those days are past. I want to see the NEXT 30 days, so on 15 january the widget should show me 30 days starting from today. This would be very helpful.

Especially on the last days of a month the month view will be useless the way it is right now, because you will only see few days ahead in the grid calendar.
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Pure calendar on lock screen? That would be just perfect for me :)

Didn't saw anything on this topic yet.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
hummm ... I don't see the interst of this option. You already have all events of the first day. And you don't want to see next days ...

If I have to add that kind of options, I have not finish :(

Option rejected.

look at first page

interesting option. I agree to implement this option ... but not yet.

ADDED TO TODO LIST.
[G1 Apps and Games] htcmagic:
So the calendar is programmed to display all events of the current day, as long as space permits, and if there is space display next day?

If thats the case all is good.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
yes, it works like this :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i don't see the reason for that option too. i mean if you have appointments today, the widgets will show them. if not, you will see next days appointments, which isnt really a big problem even if you are only interested in today. you can just ignore them.

and you already said that you have enough appointments each day, so you should not see the next day in the 4*2 widget anyway.
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
The skin selector in the latest two betas of pure calendar is buggy :( This is what I did:

I added a 4x4 widget with all default setting. Things work fine (except one long events has a spilt over "." to the second line).

I go back and change the settings (such as showing color bars etc.) and change the skin to "light_grey". Save settings and nothing is changed! (i.e. no color bar showing up; skin not changed, etc.). I wait and wait and wait and still no changes at all.

Go back the settings and change skin to "4_2_koxx_grey" but changing nothing else (the settings show what I changed last time even though those changes are not applied). The widget updates immediately with the new skin and the settings that I applied last time.
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
Also another bug:

The setting is for one line maximum per event, but one event spills over to the second line, and the color bars are out of alignment.
[G1 Apps and Games] htcmagic:
Thank you sir, the perfect app.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:

I'm on cyanogen's ROM 4.10 I think.

So there is something fishy with those commas and dots ;)

refresh button

Hi Koxx,

I use the 2x2 pure calendar.

What I do not understand. Why is there the refresh button when it doesn't have any function anymore. And the button hides behind the week number I have chosen. Or can it be used? I really do not unterstand. And why isn't it possible to chose the sync time anymore.

Thanks!

[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
Am i missing something with the scrolling on grid calendar? I had been using the pure calendar on dxtop until i decided to give the grid a go on advanced launcher.... but i read in a previous page that the new beta should scroll to next month etc...

i have the latest beta installed but for the life of me cant get the bugger to scroll.... i am liking it though.... might have to redesign my dxtop layout so i can fit it.

A couple of suggestions, and sorry if i am repeating something others have already said- is it possible to customise the length of time the popup of the even is for? (i know you can customise it for other apps - eg. backlight)...

Also, is it possible to get a month 4x3 view? I mean the 4wk 4x3 view actually has space at the bottom for another line anyway....

thanks for yet another great app- i will buy the grid calendar to go with the pure i have already bought just to support, even if i dont use it.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1- in current version (not market version), refresh button have been removed. Now, you have the 'quick event insertion' button.

2- you can choose current date format to avoid overlapping.

3- if it overlap, you can still use the button.

4- not more useful to choose sync time because it refresh 'on calendar modification' (really great function) or when an event end (if you choose 'show past events').
[G1 Apps and Games] Settembrini:
Hi,

thank you very much for the quick answer.

in current version (not market version), refresh button have been removed. Now, you have the 'quick event insertion' button.

Looks exactly like the refresh button. Is that right?

2- you can choose current date format to avoid overlapping."

Sorry, but I cannot find the option.

4- not more useful to choose sync time because it refresh 'on calendar modification' (really great function) or when an event end (if you choose 'show past events').

Yes, that's a good thing.

the scroll for me works very well, but I don't like the notification "Update in progress..." during the refresh

It is possible to automatically open the "internal quick" dialog when you touch an empty day? And also, the possibility to open the cupcake calendar when you select a day with an event
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
update in progress > what do you want to see instead ?

empty day > I don't think it's a good idea to mix different behaviour for empty/filled days. And cells are small (and even smaller in landscape), it very easy to miss your pointing and point another day, then it will open the quick insertion ... grrr ... i think it would be VERY annoying.

open event on pointing a day > impossible. I can only open agenda view at current date (cupcake API limitation)
[G1 Apps and Games] mbiza:

ya.... The problem is in landscape mode, it's hard to guess the correct cell...

grr! damn...
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
i am curious why you removed the update interval from CALENDAR, but kept it in GRID? is there a special reason for doing this? both of them already update at midnight too, correct?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
ok. gotcha on the scrolling. works well now.

anyone else having issues with ALL of the skins except for the default one? none of the numbers etc fit in the actual grid.... i deleted all the skins off the sd card and redownloaded and still they are stuffed. Landscape is crappy looking too although i don't have a pic of that....

might have to have a crack at making one myself....

**edit** turns out it is because of the timeline being on. i have 4 calendars linked to the widget. and when i turn timeline on it pushes all the dates etc down so they don't fit in the boxes.... for now i will keep timeline off but not sure how this can be fixed... did i setup something wrong?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
yes, you are right :)

it's a 'bug' ;)

I'll remove it tonight.

But I'll keep the 'refresh' button in 'pure grid'. May I'll change the icon to a 'go back to current day/month' icon. I think it's very useful.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:

Hi Knoxx,

I use the pure calendar widget 2x2.

add button > no, it is not the same, it's a '+' icon. which size re you using ? I am talking about 'pure calendar', right ?

No, it is not the "+" icon, but still the circle icon.

date format > check in configuration panel, a spinner called 'date format'

Whatever date format I chose, the circle is covered by the "week number in status bar". I guess there isn't any more space. So wasn't it better to do without the circle or the "+" icon, at least in 2X2.

Thanks!

[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
One thing i noticed:

we definetly NEED a "Go to today" option on Grid Calendar widget and also Pure Calendar when it supports scrolling.

Because scrolling for three months and then wanting to go back to the current date is really cumbersome at the moment. You have to manually jump back three months and wait everytime until the refresh is done.

This should be fixed by having the option "jump to today"...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, I agree, currently, the 'refresh' button does this job :)

I'll just change the icon :D
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
'+' > ok, it's good.

date format + week number > I don't know how to manage it. Either I forbid the '+' button when 'week number' is active in 2*x, either I forbid 'week number' in 2*x, either I let you do it himself. But I understand the problem...

EDIT : may be a solution would be to reduce font size. I'll try.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
ah yes you are right, i forgot that.

i wanted to ask for a "jump to today" button a few days ago, but then found out about the refresh behaviour. But then i forgot it again, and wrote the comment today. ;)

You can leave everything as it is, using the refresh button is enough. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Settembrini:
Sorry, I know now it should be "+", but it still is the circle icon in pure calendar 2x2.

Yes, maybe reduction of font size or I think it would be possible to put the week number between the "+" and the settings icon. Would be not very nice, but probably possible.

Thanks again.

not sure if this has been brought up yet, but I just moved up to calendar 1.4.0 and have an issue. i'm using the dark grey outlined skin on a 4x2 widget. when i rotate the screen, instead of 'rotating' so that its still 4x2 but in the new dimensions, it seems to be changing to a 3x2 widget with the bottom cut off.

this is really hard to explain. if this hasnt been brought up yet though i can fire up some screenshots

i realized my description basically made zero sense so i went ahead and took a screenshot in landscape and a screenshot in portrait to show what its doin

in all versions up until now it rotated correctly
