I've been working on picture viewer for the HTC Touch that has a little more of an intuitional feel(kinda like the iphone tho mine has some major differences) You can use the touch screen for everything including changing pictures, panning, and zooming in or out. Right now 2 mega-pixel images take about a second to load(used to take 4-5!)
Here's how to control it:
To use gesture mode check "Gesture Mode" in options menu, to use double-click mode uncheck "Gesture Mode."
Gesture Mode:
Sweep your thumb to the left to move to the next picture
Sweep your thumb to the right to move to the previous picture
(for sweeping, start with your thumb/finger off the phone, otherwise it'll mistake it for the panning gesture)
Press on the picture and then move to pan
Double-press to change to full screen.
Double-Click Mode:
double press to switch between panning and switching pictures/zooming.
move picture with finger in panning mode
zoom by moving finger up/down in non-panning mode
switch pictures by moving finger left/right in non-panning mode

Update 3/3/08 6:49 PM PST:
Eesh, so for those of you who downloaded that last update earlier today, I'm sorry. I found a couple rather nasty bugs that made the program nigh on unusable after I left the house. Fortunately I've managed to fix those and it's looking pretty stable. You can also now zoom in unlimitedly(almost). Basically it'll let you zoom in until your phone runs out of memory to handle a picture of that size. Don't worry, it won't crash or anything, it just won't go any bigger(you'll kinda see it seem to bounce back to being its original size). Let me know about any problems you find. On a side note, I actually was able to make it crash by trying over and over again to push the picture past the boundary the phone could handle. It should work perfectly for normal use, just don't go trying to make it break, or it will.
Update 3/3/08 10:13 PM PST:
Big day today updates wise, and this one is a BIG update. First, I fixed the problem of the background not covering all of the screen in landscape mode. What? That's not a big enough update? Ok, I'll throw in the ability to rotate pictures too . There is now a button in the bottom-right corner(should be out of the way enough I think) that will rotate the picture 90 degrees counter-clockwise. There is one slight problem with the rotation, it works kinda strangly with my new zooming algorithm and if you zoom in too much and then try to rotate it will crash the program. Simply put, just don't zoom in very far and then rotate it and it should be fine. Oh, and for those worried about speed, it rotates in a fraction of a second(don't know exactly how long but it feels instantaneous).
Sounds great!
I tried it but i'll get an error related to "Internal.Get.File.Directorynames".
Maybe because the name of my storage card isn't "Storage card" but "Opslagkaart" (dutch version).

ya, that explains it... I need to fix that, I'll get on that now
Sounds COOL i'm in for testing ENGLISH rom here
OK now i understand what you mean by you just started working on it today lol so no need to talk about bugs yet hein
I really LOVE the double-click to exist maybe you can find another gesture for zoom in/out for example
Cheers
How did you get the TouchFLO to respond to gestures? I was looking into using some gestures is a test application, but I havent found anything yet
Heh, actually I didnt, I just set capture to true and created my own gestures(really, really simple ones) to handle it. I would have no idea how to utilize touch-flo for this
Man, you are the one.
i´m along time waiting for this stuff, men very very god.
Thanks, i´m rigth now testing your app.
work on this and make a realy god application for the ppc world .
Ok, here's an updated version, now it initializes to the root directory and lets you choose whichever folder you want to load pictures from. The pictures still load fairly slow but they are a little better. Also, pressing on the bottom menu activates it, so basically you double press on the menu/quit icons. However, you have to actually choose one of the options to get back to being able to move the picture again (annoying, I know but I'm trying to figure out a way around that.) Also of note: you press the names of the directories you want to open twice to go into them. Clicking accept will choose the directory you're currently looking at. I think you'll see what I mean. It's actually fairly intuitional when you're doing it. 2 MP pictures take about 4-5 seconds to load. Again, if any1 knows a faster way to load in the pictures than using the Bitmap constructor, please let me know. Finally, none of the menu items are actually implemented, so clicking on them right now just makes it so you can move the picture again.
good work

Hello,
Justo 2 remarks, your program have a lot of potential of improvements.
But for now, just 2 important functions. if is possible for you to improve.
1. 1 browser like resco picture viewer, just to chose 1 picture to start.
2. that browser need to be finger scroll friendly, just like the touch rom.
scroll and chose the picture that you like to see, pic the picture and see just one or scroll just like your application do right now, because now you must scroll to all the picture just to see 1 that is im the midle.
sorry for my ingles, but i´m also working on that
great job for you my friend, congratulations and good work.
Ok here are some comments on the updated version
1. The swiping "feels" a little better but it still "hangs" on the border a bit
2. The picture still "looks" stretched on the screen
3. when you exist and re-enter the program the image location is not "remembered"
4. it would be nicer if we can have a tree view of the folders to select from
5. when u reach the last (or first picture) we shld somehow be notified that it is the last picture OR loop again from the start
I really LOVE the concept of this program can't wait to see it done
@ArcticCat, it does actually loop again to the first picture when you get to the end. What were you experiencing? If it crashed it's probably a memory issue. That goes along with my problem of opening the bitmaps, as does the hanging on the edge of the screen. Anyway, let me know, I can only try this on mine right now.
go on nice work.
a browser with pictures and landscape is the nest steps, in my opinion.
i`m just talking abaut resco viewer because is the program for me that actualy load a browser withy pictures very quikly, is very, very fast.
i dont now the working process used but...is just 1 ex. that is possible, and very fast with 7 mpixel fotos..
but i love your program and for me is now the 1 one for see fotos
must have 1 directory by defaut on open.
maube 1 option to browse with your app or use to browse the defaut one in WM just to see the pictures and when picture start.
go on and thanks a lot man...very...very..very and fast work.

I'm sorry I just noticed it does loop!
can't wait to see the next upgrade
Aweome app with great potential !!
You will be the talk on xda for a few days to come !!
Cheers buddy !!
any1 know where the app that rotates the screen is? I tried looking up how to do it within a program but it looks too daunting so I think I want to just launch that app but I can't find it. Let me know
Update time! This time I added that feature request for being able to choose a picture from the middle using a list of the pictures, you'll find the option under the menu under "Choose Picture." Also, I added full screen capability, just double press on the screen(yes, it replaced quit) and you'll get a little more room. That extra room would be completely unneeded were it not for my final update and the biggest of all. You can now resize the picture by sliding your finger up or down the screen. Up increases the size and down decreases it. Theres a wait period when you resize because it reloads the picture at the correct resolution. Have fun!
*Note:* due to the added memory needs of the choose picture screen, the app will probably crash if you try to load a picture from it unless you have the ROM with the expanded memory. I'll get to work now on another version where this isn't necissary but you won't get the choose picture feature. Still need a way to load in a 2MP image at a lower resolution without loading the entire thing into memory.

A quick note before testing it
I think it is about time you start with
1. introducing version number for each release much easier to track which version we have installed
2. a history log
sorry for being picky
I'm back
1. Pictures in portrait mode are still loaded as landscape so they are stretched and distorted
2. picture folder is still not remembered
3. Maybe an option to start in the "choose picture" mode would be useful
4. I LOVE THE ZOOM in/out man it is really GREAT : IF possible you can make that the part that is being zoomed to is actually where the "click" occurred
5. Now that we can ZOOM basic finger movements like (UP/DOWN/RIGHT/LEFT) should become part of PANNING across the picture no? maybe
a. double click to go back to "fit in view" size
b. changing pictures would only work in "fit in view" when zoomed in RIGHT/LEFT would Pan across the picture
c. to Zoom in out would become one quick click followed by another and then UP/DOWN
just speculating
keep it out please
Marcus,
hello again,
these becames my favorite tread on xda, and another one calls "TouchNav" is also cooll, but is far away from the final yet.
my comments are exactely the same as the last posted by ArticCat.
awsome program man, go on, you have a lot of talent.
1.another thing, just to help, the resco picture viewer do the load of 100 picture in the browser (to chose the start picture), in 1 second, it´s incredible the speed.
sorry but i dont know how it possible, but is just one example.
Maybe you change the defaut wm browser by the resco one, but if you do that, you stay dependtly from resco application confused: )
2.the landscape option not work
3. the options not work
4 we need a icon for this application, yes this app as grow and now is a serious one, she want a icon
Thanks and good work
I'm going out of town tomorrow morning and won't have my computer with me so there won't be any new updates till I get back. However, I will continue to watch this thread(using my touch hehehe) and can respond to any questions you guys have(or any ideas!) I'm not sure when I'll get back but it'll be definately by sunday.
i find when i open a page, i'll occasionally have 2 things happen....
either i'll start to type somewhere, then the keyboard will suddenly disappear and screw up what i'm doing & have to bring up the keyboard again, or....
i'll load a page & click on a link, then either the page will suddenly shift to the top of the webpage and think i clicking on something completely different, or it'll register that i clicked on a link right next to the one i actually did click on.
i wonder if i'm just trying to do things too quickly rather then just sit there patiently & wait till the page is properly loaded. hmm...
--------------
additionally, note webpage related, but i notice this phone is incredibly sensitive. like i'll be holding the phone and a finger may get close to the edge where the search button is & then think i clicked on search & the search menu will pop up, or sometimes i'll be playing a song & have my fingers too close to the edge where the "next" option is and accidentally switch to a different song. maybe i just need a bigger phone for my hands.
The search thing definitely happens to me when i hold it in landscape and wrap my index finger around the top, the case I got helps since the edge sticks up a bit on the corners.
I have no problems to report with the stock browser, but the screen is ultra sensitive...I feel like if you just hover your finger over it, it thinks you clicked something.

My Desire does the same thing (usually right after I've started the browser). Minor annoyance, but still annoying. I think that it might be a "stock browser" issue, because I used Dolphin HD for a while and I don't remember these problems until I got sick of how much Dolphin sucked in general and switched to the stock browser.
NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH BROWSER OR TYPING.

I use Boat browser and have no issue. To be honest with you the last time I used a stock browser was when the Xoom came out. I don't even know what HTC browser looks like. Lol

Sorry this is such a noobish question to start off with but I'm having trouble finding a feature I stumbled across a few days ago. Obviously to move between home screens you swipe left and right and pressing the home key from the main screen displays all 5 (swiping up from the bottom of the screen also does this).
The display I saw was a minimized view of each page, each a bit larger than when you're viewing all 5 at once, but only one was viewable on screen at a time and you could swipe left or right to see the others. I've no idea how I got in to that and I can't find any combination of controls to get back to it. I also can't see any purpose to it but it was definitely a deliberate feature and not a bug or glitch.
Can anyone shed any light on that please?
I believe that would be a bug.. there are several homescreen bugs I encounterd with my razr but all tolerable for me..
Case 1:
Slightly tilted diagonally homescreen when swiping left and right..
Case 2:
Minimize view (5 displays) also all screen tilted diagonally...
Maybe we can consider your scenario as a 3rd case..
The screen you see when you tap the home button twice (when already at the middle /primary home screen)?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
This sounds interesting, but i'm not sure what you want this for?
Is it like when you see all the home screens, but more zoomed in?
For what its worth, i've been hitting the keys, trying to get to something like this, but no luck..
Yeah I can't fathom any purpose for it... The best I can describe it is like viewing a zoomed out version of each page on your home screen. The same widgets and icons are there, you can flick left and right, 1 page displays at a time but it didn't seem like you could do anything useful from that view.
I thought it may have been a deliberate feature but any combination of buttons or gestures won't reproduce it on my RAZR so I guess it was a bug. It seemed completely deliberate though, it wasn't distorted or glitchy... It was somewhat like on samsungs touchwiz (galaxy s II for example) when you can add in widgets and shortcuts from a zoomed out view of each page except all you had was the zoomed out view and no discernible function.
Thanks for the advice though.
I figured it out.
Sometimes, when you are dragging between the homescreens, and press home at the same time, you will get strange zoomed versions of the home screens, and sometimes it was zoomed out, exactly as you describe.
However, i mostly got a heavily zoomed in version or crooked one.
Just try again and again, and you will see a lot of strange things, and eventually the one you describe
As I didn't find anything related, I wonder if anyone else have come across this, or if it's just my device.
When I open up an e-mail and scroll to the right, this is what happens:
First scroll seems fine, when I drag from right to left using the entire screen area.
On the second scroll, I put my finger on the right side of the screen, and when I start dragging to the left, the image jumps back 1/3 to the right, before moving to the left again.
This problem came right after I upgraded to 4.0.3 (stock I9100XXLPQ) and never happened on 2.3.6.
Tried both native email client and Enhanced Email from the marked. Same issue.
Seems to be related to e-mail clients only, as scrolling horizontally in the native browser and the gallery works just fine. Also dragging left/right in the Nova launcher is very smooth.
Anyone have an idea about what could be the cause to this problem?

Ok let me put this in a nice way. Samsung completely screwed up the scrolling in ICS. So to answer your question: Samsung is the cause of your problem...
Just flash your gingerbread or a good old cm9.
Have a good day :]
Hi,
Im sure most of you will look at it as a stupid question
But im an android noob, so sorry in advance.
My question is this:
When I'm trying to play a flash video on my HTC one internet browser I don't have the option to make it play in full screen.
The best I can do is flip the phone to landscape and try to fit the video to my screen.
Is there anyway to force it to play in full screen or to at least show a button to do so?
Maybe I'm missing some sort of update to be able to this natively?
Thanks in advance.
Press the button that says full screen just like you would on a computer
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I don't have that button.
It only shows up on Chrome browser.
But not in the default internet app, nor in Firefox
Any time there's a flash video it should look exactly like it does on the computer so unless you post pictures of what you're talking about I can't really help you

Alright I got some screenshots.
The one with the grey box is Firefox
The other one is the native internet app
Dunno why it only uploads 1 attachment.
Here's the Firefox one

before you start the video their was 4 choices at the bottom to view in Auto/HD/high/low-rez
choose HD turn phone on it's side and scroll down a little its full screen now.
I also found in the stock browser you have to enable flash in the settings and it also went full screen with a double tap on the screen
I don't know how it shows on your screen, but even when choosing HD it's still the same.
Native app is even worse, all the touch controls seem corrupt.
Just wanted to add that its been like that since day1.
And that's even after doing a clean flash of 4.3 about 2 weeks ago.

native browser is not bad but the controls are strange on GameSpot
tap around it will go full screen and works like any other YouTube video for me
Yup, tapping the lower right corner in the native app worked just fine and went full screen.
