PRS-505 Calculator AUTORUN-App for PRS-505

[Mark Nord]

Find attached a public beta java-script-calculator port for the PRS-505.

Attention: There is a bug in the released code!
Parenthesis "(" ")" arn't working. Giving (1+2)*3=7 which is obviously wrong.
Solution: rename
var openp = function(){ to var popen = function(){
and
var closep = function(){ to var pclose = function(){
in "calculator.js"
Valid code is integrated in PRS+ here

I just add this information here and want not to push this article by a new posting to this thread.


Use and start it like any other Autorun-App.

UserInterface is pretty straight forward:
Move pointer with "joystick", select key/function with "center"
Nummeric buttons can be used to input numbers too.
NextPage and holding center button = equals
PreviousPage "C"lear last input
Menu-Button exits the app.

Basically this is a port from: http://www.motionnet.com/calculator/
Changes are done in "sign", "M+", intruduced "M-" and "%" as well as a "C"lear besides the "AllClear"-Button

This app was developed most of the time in my "FSK Test-Environment for Autorun Applications under MS-Windows"

I like! works well

Can you make the files for inclusion in the PRS +?

They are already there.
Extract "Calc-Autorun.zip" in the PRS+ addons-folder, and rename calc/autorun.xml to calc/calculator.xml and you are done.
(Assuming that you run a beta-tester-pack on SD-Card, otherwise you have to deal with the ant-build-script and to reflash)

[Edit 8.6.2010]
Please use kravitz's calc.zip, 2 post below for integration into PRS+

Mark-Nord help me

I can not include the error on the PRS +. I put the files in the addons folder v3 Beta tester (in SD). I renaming autorun.xml file by calculator.xml. I restart the reader with SD and do not see the calculator aplication (not is problem of beta tester, because it works with another version of the dictionary aplication).
Also I tried to make an installer (I have done many successful) and I get the error attached.

You made the installer or the beta tester? Can you attach the beta tester ready, please?

Thanks

Try to use this one with Beta tester pack.

Sorry for the confusion.
I am still using a slightly modified prs+ 1.0.2 which doesn't reside in firmware.
And overlooked the changes in the addon-starter-files with the actual PRS+1.1.x

Thanks for your support and corrections in calc.js

Kravitz, Mark Nord

Thanks, now works.

by seeing surquizu's extended kBookIcon.png over in the PRS+ thread I started to try to integrate the icon in my code.

Some hours later I found the extremly simple and elegant solution.
Maybe it's just me and this was obvious but I would like to share:

<group id="AUTORUN_GROUP" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0" visible="false">
	<panel skin="calcSkin" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"/> 
    <sprite skin="kbookMenuIcon" left="0" width="70" top="0" height="70" u="39" v="1" active="false" canFocus="false"/>   
    <label skin="title" left="70" right="0" top="0" height="70" align="left" text="Calculator"/>

And by knowing this, I was able to rewrite the Sudoku-Code so that the programm works with only one set of sprites.
See the code over in the Simulator-thread: here

I modified the code of the calculator so that all buttons are "clickable" and will have according functions attached.
This way you can use the calculator in the SIM like any other Win-App by mouseclicks.

If I read and understand the porkuban/boroda PRS-600 russification-firmware(1.5f) correct, there is a way to run autorun-apps in the /Data/test directory by

• make sure the reader isn't plugged in via USB
• press the VOL+ and HOME keys simultaneously
• keep holding them while you insert the SD card *
• keep holding them until a menu appears

*On the SD card, there has to be a file (its contents is irrelevant):
/Sony Reader/software/autorun.xml

As I don't own a PRS-600 I would like to ask any experienced user of a russified PRS-600 with autorun-function to test the attached calc-script.

I'm curious if interaction with the calculator is possibel via touch screen.

[Edit 17.11.2010] Obviously ther is no BookMark-Key on 600/x50 so forget on this [/Edit]
The (hardware) BookMark-Key should bring up a about-dialog. just to test if dialogs are possible on a live PRS-600 (they are on my 505)

As emergency exit doOption (triggerd by pressing the hardware Option key) should exit the app.

[Edit] 27 views and not one answer saying if it is working or failing
26.11.2010 slightly modified code is reported working on PRS-600 and integrated in kartus PRS+.

Mark, I've Included your Calculator in 2.0.0 version, hope you don't mind.

[Mark Nord]

@ Kartu: You are perfectly welcome!

But you will maybe better use this localized version. (modified by Kravitz)

And maybe a Icon like in surquizu's extended kBookIcon.png can be used (See Post #8 in this thread).
But also I noticed, that every new reader extendes kBookIcon.png, so that the PRS+ specific Icons will not have the same index across the several versions.
