Regarding input fields, a "custom app button that takes data from a text field" type of widget might be achievable. Quote:
![]() I don't really know if there is a "real" way to find out what activities and intents an application can do, I usually just unpack the apk (apktool d filename.apk) and check AndroidManifest.xml. The AndroidManifest.xml in the stock Reader app on the PRS-T1, for example, begins with (after I've done some modifications): Code:
<manifest android:sharedUserId="com.sony.drbd.ebook.netapp_mod" android:versionCode="22" android:versionName="1.0" package="com.sony.drbd.ebook_mod.reader" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> Then there is a list of activities that the app provides, e.g. the BookReadingActivity: Code:
<activity android:theme="@style/WindowFullscreen" android:name="com.sony.drbd.ebook.reader.activities.BookReadingActivity" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"> Each activity (at least those that can be started with an intent) also has a list of intent-filters that specify how they can be started. BookReadingActivity has: Code:
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name=, /> <data android:mimeType="application/epub+zip" android:scheme="file" /> <data android:mimeType="application/pdf" android:scheme="file" /> <data android:mimeType="text/plain" android:scheme="file" /> <data android:mimeType="application/fb2" android:scheme="file" /> <data android:mimeType="application/xmdf" android:scheme="file" /> <data android:mimeType="application/x-dotbook" android:scheme="file" /> <data android:mimeType="application/vnd.sony.mnb" android:scheme="file" /> </intent-filter> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> I hope this makes some kind of sense; just say the word if you need help with a specific app ![]() Great, thanks! Now that I've got a rudimentary Reader release out, I'll start cleaning and refactoring my code and publishing it ![]() For those who don't follow the font thread, I just posted a modified stock Reader with custom font support. |

Is there an app that
- can browse my ebooks as I have filed them (in folders) AND - from there can launch a selected epub book in the Sony standard reader app (or according to set preferences: Coolreader or FBreader or any other) on the T1? Edit: without flashing screen refreshes all the time (like relaunch) |

Trying to find out how to do things without flashing the screen was actually the reason I first started dissecting the PRS-T1, but I never got around to checking it out. I am still very interested in doing it though. I'm thinking something like an optional "ugly but fast mode" in the home screen and "refresh every N:th page" when reading. |

I cannot agree more and started to lobby with app and OS developers on improving readability on e-ink: make scrolling and page turns e-ink friendly https://github.com/aarddict/android/...omment-3512595 Thanks for sharing your work! |

Seems like android.view.View on the PRS-T1 has a bunch of non-standard overrides that take an extra int argument "updateMode" that specifies how/if the view should be refreshed.
While playing around, I made a browser that only flashes on page loads, not while scrolling around: http://youtu.be/inBpc60t_Tc More on this subject later; gotta catch up on some sleep now! |

For example there is the mode I use in the Reader with customizable number of page turn between refreshes that i just uploaded on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/son...29/2012-01-20/ Video: http://youtu.be/PC_JMk8tObI Screenshots show sample quality after 0,1,2,3 and 4 page turns since the last refresh. Also, I finally got the thumb out and set up an environment compatible with the SVN, and uploaded my code to SourceForge. Yay me! |
