I did some dirty code in RenderThread Get the right pic to eink screen but lost the rotate . It's middle night in my area, so bye now zzZZZ.

and one more with scrollbars)

strange, no change for me in version 8, same dimensions, no scroll-bars

[fekhner]

to me the problem seems to be that in the current implementation, what appears on the e-ink side is a scaled down mirror of what appears on the lcd side,

in the successful implementations for others readers, the image does not entirely fit on the lcd side but goes beyond it both in width and in height ... hope this helps, thanks for still trying ....

This is very cool. Real developer dawned at egde

I pulled source with intent to build and debug myself, but was surprised not to find build.xml on top level. I do not use eclipse, but I remember eclipse also use some sort of xml project file. So, ugh, what am I missing? How do you build this thing?

You can use eclipse create a build.xml for it. And add all source to eclipse it also work , I will upload a clone of this .

I added build.xml

About rendreing:
I try to set view on lcd with same size as eink screen - so i add scrollbars to view on lcd side (see onSetContentView method of http://code.google.com/p/orion-viewe...dgeDevice.java)
Also in EdgeFB constructor (http://code.google.com/p/orion-viewe...dgeDevice.java) I calculate size of eink screen - maybe it wrong?

Did not work for me with this build.xml. Does not even try to compile code, fails with resources compilation. Maybe I should bite a bullet and install eclipse...

You also need 3d party library: http://code.google.com/p/themissingtabwidget/
to build from sources.
You not need nook xml files: so just remove "always_landscape" property from it.

Ok, I managed to build it and installed on my EE. The eink works perfectly for me, I would say, I tried with a couple of djvu books. It does require tweaking of zoom a bit for each individual book, but I did not see any artifacts - see attached photo. I did not do any changes for edge code. Will try this night on pocket model.

Thanks to the author, very nice program this orion reader!

Looks great ! I would be very grateful for apk or detailed instructions ....

Well, since I have not got to changing code for anything, I decided just to try pre-built apk from project page (orion_viewer_0.27.4_edge_eink_beta.apk). And indeed it worked the same way as my own built - it display both pdf and djvu files correctly on both eink and lcd.

The page fits differently on two screens, but that should not be a problem. The program correctly fits page of pdf file into eink screen by itself. The djvu files that I tried had different page sizes inside single document, in general program fit width of djvu's into eink screen which resulted in bottom of the page outside the view port, the program brought bottom portion of page into view on page turn.

Zoom works well, although the values are not intuitive, but it is easy to adjust it with trial and error, so djvu's can quickly be brought to full page view on eink.

Rotation works correctly as well: pressing rotate button on edge rotates only lcd screen but not eink, selecting rotate in program menu rotates both screens.

I also tried it on Pocket Edge, and it works there as well, in an identical way.

All in all very impressive debut on Edge. Now if native eink buttons could be handled for navigation, and some facility for turning off back-light would be added, I'd say the program would be ready for prime-time.

It work perfect now. I pull the new source ,build again.

What keycodes are for edge buttons?
(It possible to obtain it via Key Manager in Orion menu: map all keys).

No, those keys do not go to android and are not registered with orion key binder. They are available under one of /dev/event* though, I believe. javese uses them in his programs. Here is one post discussing inputs on edge.
