Hi.

Firstly, if this is in the wrong place then my apologies.

Anyway, I'm trying to develop and few apps for windows mobile at the same time as bringing myself up-to-date with VB.net. I have almost finished my first one but am having problems with getting it to display properly on QVGA screens.

When I run the app on the emulator it displays properly

When I run the app on an HTC Touch HD, it runs ok, if a little small

When I run the app on an HTC Kaiser, it only displays a small portion of the web browser.

The only thing I can think of is the app is designed to run on a WVGA screen and above, only I can't think of a way to change this. Any ideas would be appreciated.

BTW, any apps I do finish will be posted for testing and then released for everyone to enjoy for free :)

Use the ClientSize property of the form in the OnPaint() event to get the actual size of the client area available. You may have to move stuff around and resize screen objects to get them to fit. The form's OnPaint() event is triggered before those of its child objects so set 'em up how want them here.

ClientSize is a Size object.

In VB use me.ClientSize.Width and me.ClientSize.Height to get those values for the clientarea.

Alternatively me.ClientRectangle returns a Rectangle object with the Top, Left, Bottom and Right values of the area.

Cheers, I'll try that

RE VS 2008 and QVGA

Ok, since my last post I've worked out that it's only the web-browser control on the form that is not scaling properly. Even if I try to restrict the width/height, it crops the page instead of resizing.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,

Can anyone help me remove the call list and calender entries from the home screen in the new official HTC ROM with windows mobile 6.5? (no brand / Germany). Weather, clock, date, alarm clock and provider should stay where they are.

I had those files for the old ROM from this forum unfortunately they don't work anymore.

Could anyone tell me where to find the background picture from "Ron Arad Orange" theme?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

After upgrading to official wm6.5, the inbox pops up from time to time. Sometimes it's the sms inbox, other times it's mail inbox. Usually this happens after a message is recieved and read. Then every 1 or 2 min for maybe 10 minutes.

Is it some setting? Am I missing something?

No, I only have a gmail account. Sometimes it's the mail, sometimes it's the sms.

However, if I leave the sms program open, it doeasn't happen.

I mean, if I just press the home button, instead of the close soft button.

Hello,

I´ve got an I900 Omnia.

Is there a prog which closes applications like a GPS navi for instance automatically at a certain percentage before the battery is completly empty, so that it won´t even turn on again.

The notification that comes up by wm6 appears to late and doesn´t close all apps.

I haven´t found anything but battery monitors although in my opinion an app like this is essentially, because it is extremly frustrating when your on the way and the phone simply turns off because you had forgotten to close a prog that drains the battery.

[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
I want to start a project for a REAL animated bootscreen, maybe as GIF or multiple JPGs..

From what I know, the bootanimation is triggered by the surfaceflinger, and it calls the bootanimation binary.

The source is here:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...9269bc9fa9452ad32d733830713565e157cc;hb=donut

Lets mod it :)
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
In the Droid dump the start animation is a serie ofpng files maybe we can use the same things for the desktop ?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Quick Question: Does htc include some special files that allows android to support GIF's ?
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Incompatible, throws out errors, idk why.

Didn't see any.. but running the bootaniamtion bin does show the AOSP animation.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
K i dont have a build environment setup so im just gonna suggest ;)

What happens if u replace

initTexture(&mAndroid[0], mAssets, "images/android-logo-mask.png");

with

initTexture(&mAndroid[0], mAssets, "images/boot.gif");

???
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
djengizz mentioned to me, he saw in the source that the system makes calls to android-logo-mask.png maybe we should change that .png to .gif :)
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
man u beat me 2 it :)
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
Maybe it's possible to create an array of images for the foreground (android-logo-mask0.png --> android-logo-maskxxx.png) and iterate over them in the do - while loop that shifts the background image.
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Yes, great idea, maybe a very wide,wide image of pngs? Not sure if it will work though..

Any dev out there with java knowledge?
[G1 Android Development] born2die:
Sorry to say that but it isn't Java...

C++... I'm cloning the git-repro and then look it's so easy to just change the name to .gif...

I don't think it's enough, because the png and gif-format are both different and png is ONE frame, a gif has many frames!
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Ah it never is as easy as it seems, but doesnt hurt to give it a shot ;)

Yea loading multiple png's would definitely be a good alternative, just add some delay between them.
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
Judging from the source the background shift happens at 12 fps and it renders a texture from the png image (so i don't think an animated gif would work).

That means that something like the Droid animations would at least last around 4 seconds (i thought there's about 50 images in it) although you could speed up / slow down things of course.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
we gotta figure out the way that droid calls the bootanimation.zip in /media. they're clearly not even using /assets because the android-mask.png is all still in there.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
there's more like 100 ;)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Same with Htc. They even have their assets folder n stuff, but never use it. If we cud figure out either htc or droid's calling methods, we're set :D
[G1 Android Development] born2die:
Which bootanimation.zip are you talking about?
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
it looks like the source is written to recognize png's. a simple change to .gif wouldn't work unless we were to re-write the source to recognize .gif.. so then our focus should be to get an animation using png's. hence, what Motorola did w/ droid
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
It doesn't really matter, we could move them to framework-res/assets for the AOSP builds.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
in droid's dump, the /system/media/ has bootanimation.zip in there which contains the droid boot png's
[G1 Android Development] born2die:
At the moment i'm a bit confused, so wich bootanimation are you really talking about?

EDIT: Thx, don't know so much about DROID...
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
K first we need people who have a build environment setup, so they can test our theories ;)

Also OP, you should put what methods have been tested and have failed
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
right, that's what i was thinkin before.. ok so u think instead of dumping all 100 png's in there we add 2 dirs. and have it set up like droid has their's except we move it to /assets?

like this: /assets/part0/part1

and then change the source to look for the png's in /assets/part0/part1
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
Loading the images from assets and turning them into textures is done in the source so you could put them anywhere you like within the assets folder.

I'm guessing you want a generic solution for boot animations so using the Droid specific setup might not be the best solution (i think these part folders represent phases in the droid animation?).
[G1 Android Development] Chinpokomon:
Instead of multiple PNG files, it'd be better to add support for MNG, this way we'd get the compression benefit of PNG, but have the animated capability of GIF. There are open MNG libraries, and by including OS support we could even incorporate those sorts of effects in themes; mouse overs that pulse, etc.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
ok. so then would we need to mention every png in the source right? cuz the source references both png's that are currently in the /assets dir.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
dam keep forgetting about those lol.. so then we could have the droid mng in /assets and then reference it in the source

/assets/android-bootanimation.mng
[G1 Android Development] tdurd3n1:
has there been any thought put into animated pngs? im not a developer and i dont claim to know anything about developing, but wouldnt it work?

here is an animated png of the droid boot, i didnt change resolution at all, since i dont know if it will work at all...
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
Great :) I was gonna make one but u beat me to it.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Lol, you uploaded a jpeg. But yea a valid idea. :)
[G1 Android Development] tdurd3n1:
i dont know why its showing up as a jpg, but it is indeed a png file(check properties)...
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Well its not showing up as being animated either, try uploading to something like tinypic.com

Also im guessing this is the same as apng ? this was proposed as a possible solution.
[G1 Android Development] tdurd3n1:
yea i used tinypic, and it resolves the link as a jpg, also uploading here resolves it as a jpg, but i put it in my dropbox, here is the link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1550010/droidtest2.png
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
This.

As a themer, the thought of mng or apng support throughout android makes me all warm and moist.
[G1 Android Development] Chinpokomon:
This is certainly more hands-on than just changing some bitmaps. Essentially this is an OpenGL ES routine that adjusts the combination of three different PNG images. This is closer to pallet rotation than what we were talking about earlier in the thread.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
i talked to drizzy about this and he simply hinted to me to look at framework.jar..
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
I don't think drizzy... anyway, let's look instead at what calls the boot animation and we could divert that call to be handled instead by an android xml animation. The current animation is handled (as previously stated) by a C program, but I don't see why we couldn't regular android animations instead (by the time the boot animation comes about, dalvik is initialized and the android core is already running). If I have a chance later tonight I'll check the animation process
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
Ok, tiny progress. bootanimation is not called by surfaceflinger. surfaceflinger is just one (or the one) android interface for dealing with 2d graphics, but I don't think it handles the bootanim, since it all seems to be done by the cpp program. The name bootanimation kept going through my mind and it bugged me, so I had to check, and in fact (and quite expectedly), bootanimation is called during init.rc. I think bootanim eventually finishes by calling dalvik to launch "Home". It makes sense because the loop would go like (theoretically, I haven't read the code):

while(!homeLoaded){

drawBootAnim(){

drawScrollingBgPNG();

drawFgPNG;

}}

as soon as dalvik loads home (and probably sets a property somewhere to it being loaded) bootanim shuts down

Anyway, all we have to do is create our own cpp binary (or modify the existing one) to allow for animations (of all, I like the idea of slideshow-pngs better, it's easier to work with for themers) and we could probably toss it in /media (I would like to keep things off of framework-res that are not yet thoroughly tested).

I'll look up a cpp linux program for alternating a series of pngs to make an animation, the problem would be, how do we stop the animation (I'll look on the code and see what causes it to stop).
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
thanx jubeh!!!
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
Further (I need somebody with a hero rom to confirm this) bootanimation is present on Hero roms, I've seen it, but it's not called in init.rc. I'm not 100% sure about it, though, that's why I need somebody to check it (easiest way, adb shell cat /init.rc, post here or in pastebin). If it calls bootanimation, then we can assume that HTC's is different, so we could use that and just give it the directory tree it expects (/system/media/bootanimation, although, again, HTC's bootanimation is handled by android and not linux, that how they're able to use gif and play sound)

Also, we should check the droid's bootanim if it's called in init.rc and whether we can push both the /media/bootscreen.zip and /bin/bootanimation from a droid rom to a stock one, we can always test by running bootanimation from the terminal, and it would save me (or whoever beats me to making the new anim program) some coding time.
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
This doesn't work. It's complaining about missing library files (libskia.so). I'll try later if i can push the missing libraries but i have to run for work now.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
ggrrr, so that's what they're for. I noticed skia.so and skiagl.so in the android 2.0 build but didn't know what they were for.... Now I think they're gl es libraries, problem is, the dream has no drivers for the new open gl libraries in 2.0, so I dont think it'll work. I'll keep checking if there's a workaround, if not, I'll have to make one myself (sigh, they had me at HelloWorld...)

Skia is a 2D graphics library. Doesn't specifically mention an OpenGL requirement, except for SkGLCanvas. Meaning, Skia can work on an unaccelerated framebuffer until the GL drivers exist.
[G1 Android Development] MOONSSPOON:
I was hoping I would get the chance to do this some day. I'm glad other people are looking into it since I don't have nearly enough time for anything anymore. If nothing else, someone should at least make the boot animations accept full sized pngs again.

[G1 Android Development] Fnorder:
Considering the only time many would stare at the boot animation for a long time, would be when something screws up, I'm of the idea that completely removing the splash animation and showing raw console output would be good.

Some linux distros manage to do both.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
that defeats the purpose of this thread. It's not what we want.
[G1 Android Development] DemoShadow:
with the right boot animation, background code could look nice. (transparent background for picture)
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
ok guys, check out the boot animation code for eclair, it's the same that was used for the droid, looking at the logcat, i noticed bootanimation looks for a zip with animation files, and if it's not found, it uses the old default one. We can just toss that code in donut and use the format it expects (boot animation slides in a .zip) to do a slideshow-type animation.
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
And the issue with the missing libraries / drivers?

I've noticed that eclair has libskia.so and libbinder.so included.
