Hey everyone, just want to share with all of you an app idea i am currently working in developing. I would love to hear some advice and what can be done to make it better.
The point of this app is kind of straight forward. It is to teach kids their ABC's, how to count, their colors and to include some lullabies as well.
Currently i dont have the images i need so for now in the image below i only have the color red and an A in the middle. The scree i swipeable so when you swipe it goes to the next letter and pronounces it automatically out loud. Each letter will have a different background, NOT A COLOR, for example A will have a background of an apple, B will be a Bear, C could be a Cat and so on...
As of now i dont know how the app will look in its final stage but this is what i got so far.
The app just started being developed, so far not much is done but updates as it goes on will be posted. Thanks
Here are some images in order of how they load. The main Page has a sliding drawer from the left side of the screen. This drawer is ugly and not finished at all yet.

Here is what the standard flip clock numbers look like.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Each number appears to be centered in its own 100x128 pixel block in the total 1024x256 size of the image.
Is there an easy way to place the numbers in the same locations when making new clock numbers with different fonts? I am using Gimp 2.6 for image editing. Because it's free... and I'm cheap.
Okay, I think I made the numbers right. In case anyone is interested, here is how it came out.
I was scratching my head over this the other day when I was making some clock hands......... do the images have to be in exactly the right place in relation to the edges of the image, in the end I just too some clock hands from a cab and drew over them to make sure I was in the right place......
I've wanted to do some clock number for a while... your knowledge may save me a LOT of trial and error
Thanks....
ps have you tried paint.net? I use that because its free and Im also cheap..... Ive yet to try this gimp thingy Im hearing so much about.....
Loved inverted SMS on the Evo so I started googling and I ran into this. See post # 3. Root required and flash via recovery. Works great on my rooted ev3d.
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1603-req-inverted-sense-3.0-sms&p=31038&viewfull=1#post31038
Now since sense 3 has square bubble chat style, those boxes remain white with black text but the entire background behind it is black and the bottom to enter text is also white with black text. Also turns the sms app icon in app drawer black. All messages list is black with white text. Sorry no screenshot app so I cant really post pics.
like it a lot. wish the app icon wasn't inverted though, stock icon with blue looked better. but still a thumbs up

Thanks for posting screen shots. Ya bummed bout the sms icon thing but not a huge deal.
Can this be moved in the theme section. Thank you.
So I have been trying to theme the Kik Messenger app. I have gotten pretty far but I'm having some issues that have me stumped. I'll post screenshots to explain.
First Image:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

For some reason the settings screen is a big giant mess.
1). What happened to the rest of this bar? I also want to change that entire bar to the color code 2e2e2e but I cannot find it for the life of me.
2 and 3). These white bits should not be here since I have changed every instance of android:background to black, Help please?
Second Image:
1). Once again, I want to change this topbar color but I cannot find it anywhere in the .xmls or in the drawable folders.
2). This is a big one. The only reason that this bottom bar is grey and not black is because when I make it black, I cannot see what I am typing because the text is also black. I cannot find where to change the input text color anywhere in any of the decompiled apk.
I really need someone who is good with themes to reach a hand out. I wanted to take this on myself but these last touches are driving me crazy since I am a perfectionist. Thanks for any help!
I'm writing this as a guide for my future self (and for the people who find nothing when searching).
If you're like me, you're happy with your Huawei experience (except for them nerfing the bootloader unlock thing), but one thing I hate is this bar.

When it shows up, I usually click it, then click OK, and the game or app I'm using becomes full-screen most of the time. It doesn't really bite me until I open an app like DuckTales Remastered, which doesn't work in full screen mode. This is when you notice that the bar can't be hidden or dismissed, and you will often touch it by accident, making the confirmation dialogue pause the app and break your immersion, or worse, the app restarts in full screen and you lose all your progress.
If you have this problem, download hide full screen by huawei by kaipochi, and open it. Permit it to draw over apps, and you will have a bar display over the full screen bar. You click the number to cycle through three sizes depending on your phone, you can click the bookmark to change the size settings and create shortcuts that open the app with the bar, and click the X to close it.
Hope this helps EMUI 8 users!
Hi XDA community
Currently I'm trying to implement a simple add-subtract button pair into my app, but for it to look how I want it to, I need to round only the left edges for the left button and only the right edges for the right button.
Also, once a certain limit is reached (f.e. you can keep adding 1 until you reach 10 / you can keep subtracting 1 until you reach 0), the corresponding button should gray out.
Here's a sketch of how I want it to look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can handle the logic for the adding, subtracting and graying out, but for the selective edge-rounding I've found nothing so far.
Can you help me?
So I just asked a classmate and the answer is pretty elegant.
You first need to create a new layout resource file with a <shape> element as the base.
Then, you use "android:topLeftRadius" and the like to make a shape and pass it to the button like this: 'android:background="@drawable/rounded_button_left"' with "rounded_button_left" being the filename of my layout resource file.
Hope I could help someone
