[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuberman:
An update is coming out this Sunday, Dec 4th that's going to add support for any bluetooth pedal for hands-free playback. Examples of supported bluetooth pedals include the Cicada PageFlip and the Airturn BT-105. I'm going to start offering a deal soon where if you buy the Airturn BT-105 through a link on zubersoft.com/mobilesheets, you will be given a free copy of the paid version of MobileSheets.

As for how the pedal works, the previously mentioned devices have two pedals. My app supports multiple modes - the default mode is the left pedal goes back one page, the right pedal advances a page. Another mode is the left pedal scrolls the page while the right advances to the next page (great for landscape mode). Once you try hands-free page turning, you will never want to go back :)

hmmh... this seems to be just what i was looking for... i am planning on going completely digitla on my students, as in: have 'em watch their sheetmusic on the tablet in lesson (in this case motorola xoom), then afterwards send 'em the sheets for them to print out by themselves. i'm just sick of lugging 10+ kg of sheetmusic around all day :D actually i was planning on buying an inexpensive printer and hook it up to the zablet via usb, wifi or bluetooth and print the stuff for them on site, but as there's no pc or router nearby and usb doesn't semm to work either, i settled for the paperless approach (which does have it's pros and cons).

one thing i'd like to know about your program though: i've got several realbooks in pdf form that i'd like to use, each containing around 2-300 songs on about as much pages. how would i go about organizing those? simply bookmark each song seperately? or would i have to split the huge single pdf into small, single ones?

I use ezPDF viewer. (available on Android Market) It allows me to use my foot switch (cicada page flip) and allows me to mark my .pdf sheets with notes for corrections or whatever. I agree with a previous poster, once you use a foot switch you won't want to go back. I am in a JAM that has about 500 songs. It took two 3 inch binders to carry them every night. Well we have now converted 16 of the 21 members to electronic viewers. It is the only way to go.

As far as organizing my folders I simply created 26 folders labeled "A" to "Z". Then every time I add a new song I simply put it in the appropriate folder. You can leave them all in one giant folder but it takes longer to find the song you want later. I found a little pain up front saved a lot of pain later.

Enjoy

do you mark your pdf's using a pen? if so, which one? if not - how DO you do it? :D that's one thing i would be missing in a purely digital surrounding, being able to mark up certain things etc. i don't think i'm going to have much need for a footswitch in a teaching situation, though, and as far as gigs are concerned, i play mainly jazz, and most of the leadsheets i get are a page long. if not - tough luck, i'll play better from memory anyway ;-)

the folder a to z folder-approach seems absolutely feasible, i'd probably go even more ballistic and create several mainfolders (like fingerpicking, theory, leadsheets etc), then have the a to z folders inside those. something like that. i'm more worried though that my students will be turned off by not getting physical handouts anymore. may take them a while to get used to it :)

ezpdf app and boxwave pointing devices

OK first I would recommend looking at ezpdf on the android market. The developer has been very quick to make certain changes. I can say that the program has really improved 800 % over the past 4 months I have been using it. The developer updates the product about every 4 days. New features and bug fixes. Granted I don't use all of it's features but I think it is better than Adobe. I tried to embed a copy of the annotations page but I could not so go here "https://market.android.com/details?id=udk.android.reader&hl=en"

Pen - I do use a pen/pointer to write on my pdf's. I use the boxwave products as they were rated the best and most reliable on a capacitive screen. I have bought others but I keep coming back to the boxwave products. I even have one with an actual writing pen on the other side of it so I can take paper notes if I have to.

Folders - I do the same thing with my music folders. I have it broken out to Christmas music A - Z, Our Regular Music A - Z, Then stuff that I am practicing for my self A - Z.

Sheet Music - If you are going to stick to one page and you are young enough to be able to see clearly then forget the foot pedal. It is just one more thing to have to carry. I am 60, the old eyes are not as sharp as they used to be.

Students - I don't know how you are planning on giving them the files or where you teach, ( private classes, class room setting, high school etc) But - Hey when I was learning (still am) I would have loved it if the instructor gave me a downloadable file with all of my music for the semester. Then I could either print it or put it on a tablet. My choice. Most parents today think that if they don't buy their kids the latest gizmo they will be stunted or social outcasts, so I bet most of your students already have tablets.

Another thought - Another thing to keep in mind. My buddy teaches banjo. He was going to get a tablet for himself then we talked and he decided to get a tablet and a notebook and a projector. He then calls up the sheet music on his laptop and projects it on the screen for the class of 6 students. He uses the tablet for private instruction with out the projector.

Hope that helps. :)

Really take a look at ezpdf
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steedoc:
Hello -

My solution to this problem was:

1. Scan in all my sheet music as high resolution files (300 or higher).

2. Use a photoshop technique on each image to eliminate grey and make sure the blacks are black and the white background is white - (there is a great way to do this with the eyedropper tool which you can find on youtube). At this stage I also straighten the image of each page.

3. Use a photoshop action to import the individual scanned image of each page as 'layers' on a single photoshop document --- and then save as a photoshop document.

4. Use a photoshop action to stack each photoshop layer (on a given document from step 4) out in a long continuous sheet of music and then flatten the image and save as a bitmap (so now the image would look like a flat, opened out, long, scroll).

5. Use a photoshop action to set the canvas size the correct dimensions and dpi for your given display/tablet.

6. Manually open each 'scroll' and move around the systems of your music to fit in the window you have made in step 5 ---- and save each window as a high res jpeg. Save the jpeg as the name of the piece followed by the page number.

7. Use a photoshop action to add a text layer of the same value as the file name. Save as a pdf.

8. Combine the individual pdf pages into a single pdf document for each individual piece.

9. All done. I now have 3 hours of music as PDFs that are perfectly viewable in my tablet AND can be searched for using the find feature of the PDF reader (thanks to step 7). What could be easier!

----

The lenovo A4 size tablet is an ugly looking brick - I wouldn't like that compared with this ipad solution

Fakebook

For many of the above reasons my favorite gigging tool is the Fakebook. It does PDF very well (even importing and indexing huge collections like a real book or vocal book), but at the same time it has thousands of built in chord charts (transposable). Nice annotation or scribbling, search, links to YouTube and Spotify performances and great playlist editing.

Best $1.50 spent on my Google Play account! play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skrivarna.fakebook.android
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
As I mentioned in the previous thread (which may be deleted now), I'm playing with the snake sample game. I was trying to create a menu following this guide (the XML way). I did exactly as the guide says but when I tried to run the project, the console said "main.out.xml: Error parsing XML: no element found".

Now there's an error in the project, but all files seem valid (there's a red cross sign next to the project, but not next to any one of the files). When I try to run the project, it tells me to fix the errors. WTF ? This is driving me crazy :mad:

Of course I tried googling, but I found nothing that could help me.

Another thing I wanted to do with the Snake app is change the way the snake is controlled - instead of keyboard I want it to be controlled either by swipe or by the accelerometer. Can any1 help me with that ?

I already got swipe, now off to accelerometer movement.

And any help with the menu thing would be appreciated too.
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
Guys help me out here. I'm trying to make a menu for the snake app, so one could set up things like max. apples at a time, move delay decrease rate and stuff like that. How should I do this ?

I thought of creating a new activity for the options which will be called from the menu (this menu will be shown after pressing the menu button). Is that a good solution ?

Seriously... WHAT THE **** ?!?!

I create a folder under 'res' named 'menu'. I create a file under 'menu' named 'menu.xml'. I instanly get an error message : 'error: Error parsing XML: no element found'. Now I can do whatever the **** I want (I put some menu items in it), I will NEVER EVER launch the app again, because it says there's an error in the project even though there are NO ****ING ERRORS ! FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
Are you sure you didn't try to run the .xml file instead of the whole project? When you do that you get an error, a 'main.out.xml' file and your app wont run until you delete it :)
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
For the first time I did. But the app didn't run even after I restored everything to the previous state. I had to delete the whole project and create it again.

Now I didn't even press the run button - I got the error right after creating the xml file.

But now I get it - I can create a menu, but I always have to delete the project (keep the files) and create it again. Kinda sucks.

Now please could any1 give me advice on how to handle the snake by tilting the phone ? I googled my ass off, but didn't find anything I could use.
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
Next time you get an error, try simply deleting it from the error log. Eclipse is buggy as hell and sometimes that can fix things (if not the error will just appear again).

As for using the accelerometer, i can't really help you but it looks pretty complicated!

Try looking through the source code of "Amazed" - http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/source/browse/#svn/trunk/Amazed/src/com/example/amazed - It may be of some help!
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
Well if it's complicated then screw it, I don't have much time to funk around. :)

I'll try the menu, but I'm still not sure if I shoul create an extra activity for the menu. How do I save the settings if I do ?
[Android Software Development] martino2k6:
That's an overstatement. It's a lot simpler to do than implementing your own listview adapter, for example.

Anyway, all you need to is just let your class implement SensorListener. Then you will need to override two methods; onSensorChanged and onAccuracyChanged. Each are pretty explanatory. Inside onSensorChanged however you will need to check the sensor type, and before you can listen to the sensor you need to register it with the SensorManager (system service). Remember to unregister when you don't need it any more else it will just pointlessly suck battery.

There are many tutorials, but it is really easy to do. Just Google them if unsure, the link posted by Meltus doesn't make it easy to see how it's meant to be used.
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
OK, first I need to make the menu work.

So first I need to create an activity that extends PreferenceActivity. Then I create a preferences.xml file and an arrays.xml file, that's more or less clear to me.

What bothers me is that I only found 4 types of Preferences - List Preference, EditText Preference, Checkbox Preference and Ringtone Preference. Is that it ? A ****load of apps uses a number choosing preference, where you have a text input a + and a - button - did they all have to create a custom preference type ?

And I have one more dumb question - I just can't for the life of me call the damn preference activity. How do I do that ?

OK, preferences are all done.

I thought if autoinstall JIT through xRecovery could be possible.

Well the answer comes from Shpit (a member of the forum) who shared right yesterday this:

FOR LASTEST SE UPDATE 2.1.1 ->http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=513069&d=1297254645

FOR FIRST 2.1 SE UPDATE 2.0.1 ->http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=511839&d=1297130598

It is an update.zip for your xRecovery that will install on your phone Jit.

instructions: (taken from this tread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902974)

You will need to extract the 2 files from the .rar archive and then rename the one you want to "update.zip" (Without the quotes) and copy to your SD Card. Then reboot yor phone and start xRecovery... choose "Install update.zip".

In the rar file are included the Enabler/Disabler :D

Hope you liked it :D

Thanks (another time) to shpit :D

This script will increase your quadrant/linkpack score

In particular: Quadrant -> Before 416 After 520 (ca)

LinkPack -> Before 4.088 After 7.88

I think that numers talk enough :P

NOTES: The first time you reboot you have to wait around 4-5 minutes on the SonyEricsson (green) logo this is only for the first time, Don't worry :D
