Kindle Menu PREVIEW (for kindle PW) - Page 2

Aeris · 10-28-2013, 04:32 PM

By now, yes... but I'd like to set it as store button replacement in the future. I've also to set up a killall of all the added apps to avoid that user will launch more than one at the same time. I've placed also the light control, so that invoking Kindle Menu from any app, the user will be able to set the light level in every program

hmmm...
Killall - why not make an auto-switcher?

would be nice to FINALLY be able to scroll THRU the open apps and THEN kill the ones you dont want open?

As your launcher is K5-specific anyway, this might be useful to implement (after a little adaptation).

Aeris · 10-28-2013, 04:45 PM

It could be an idea! But ONLY if we consider to make also dialog for switching between open apps! A simple html+javascript task manager, to transform our device in a multitasking one

If we don't do this, the simplest way remain a general, multiple killall, because background apps wouldn't be so useful...

Nice idea! And if replacing "search_bar" with "default_status_bar" works, we would have an android-like behaviour! Gonna try it soon

Great suggestion!

Where does this screen come from? :P EDIT: lol i tought it was from kindle ports xD

P.S. I've adapted your code to make it work as android does (status bar swipe to display the dialog). It's perfect!

thatworkshop · 10-28-2013, 07:58 PM

Pumped to give er a try!

Aeris · 10-28-2013, 08:02 PM

Meanwhile... another screen:

It occurs to me a general purpose process killer would be helpful.

I have no idea how you are going to package this thing right now so...
I went with the most obvious solution, the killer is packed inside the displayer

"YAD" (latest from svn)

enjoy

can be called like /mnt/us/extensions/yad/usr/bin/process.sh (pictured) from your "swipe script"

or via KUAL.

I think this one has to be called a one woman show.

With a little help from her friends

Aeris · 10-29-2013, 06:57 AM

Great work, Twobob! Task manager alive and kicking!

More updates to come... stay tuned!
(cleaning up the code now)

Aeris · 10-29-2013, 11:50 AM

I'm almost there... but I can't understand one thing. I need an if statement to enable the landscape mode css... but if I use:

Code:

if ( nativeBridge.getLipcProperty("com.lab126.winmgr", "orientationLock") == "U")

The condition seems to be always false... any hints about this?
