I got pretty good at using the Palm shorthand for entering text. I'm pretty sure that a similar "shorthand keyboard" would work out well on the Android phones, but I haven't seen any apps that will replace the keyboard with a "shorthand" pad.

I would like to know what is meant by gestures in typical mobiles more specifically android ones. Android supports gesture recognition.
Is a gesture termed as when user holds the device and shakes it(say upwards, downwards or side- side)?
Is a gesture termed as when a finger is placed on the screen and traced UP,DOWN,RIGHT,LEFT? If so what is the difference between touch screen and gestures.
I am confused between 1) and 2) option.
What is a gesture exactly?
I create some gestures and they are working, but if I add a button the gesture doesn't work over the button. I split the display resolution to make different gestures and i get x, y coordinates. If i make a gesture starting with the button the coordinates are both 0, only under them i get normal coordinates. It's like the coordinates are starting only after the button.

I had developed a simple gesture recognition library for Android (not for accelerometer; I mean touchscreen - finger gestures). I had to abandon it for quite a while, but recently I was able to clean it a bit and port it to 1.0 SDK. It is released under GPL. Here are some sample videos:

Me and some of my friends have made a gesture recognition application for android. It allows you to customize gestures that will call, text, or email one of your contacts or launch an application. Please check out our blog and demonstration video and comment to let us know what you think.
I have hooked in a ScaleGestureDetector to an OnTouchListener as instructed in Android documentation. For some reason the ScaleGestureDetector does not always detect end of a pinch gesture. This happens mostly when pinching fast from large to small.
The effect is that after I have released both fingers the detector does not fire the gesture end event. If I touch the screen with one afterwards it still thinks I'm continuing the scale gesture (keeps firing onScale events). I have to do another gesture to get the detector to fire end event.
I have added logs to the OnTouchListener and when the scale gesture gets stuck I still get motion events normally when using one finger and event.getPointerCount() is 1.
I have made sure that I don't have any other listeners intervening. View that has the onTouchListener is not the only view on screen but this effect happens also when I'm very careful to begin and end the gesture inside this one view.
Is there any way to improve the end detection?
Or if there a way for me to manually set the ScaleGestureDetector to fire onScaleEnd and change scaleGestureDetector.isInProgress() to false?
What I want is to have an options menu where the user can choose to navigate the menu between:
1) touching a button and then pressing down on the trackball to select it, and
2) drawing predefined gestures from Gestures Builder
As it stands now, I have created my buttons with OnClickListener and the gestures with GestureOverlayView. Then I select starting a new Activity depending on whether the using pressed a button or executed a gesture. However, when I attempt to draw a gesture, it is not picked up. Only pressing the buttons is recognized. The following is my code:

I am using gesture detector to catch "flings" and using a view flipper to change the screen when this happens. Some of my child views contain list views. The the gesture detector wont recognize a swipe if you swipe on the list view. But it will recognize it if it is onTop of TextView's or ImageView's. Is there a way to implement it so that it will recognize the swipes even if they are on top of another view that has a ClickListener?

where do I put this in my code, do I have to create a new class for it, or can I have it in an inner class, or does it not need a class at all?! I have a set up similar to Lunar Lander which comprises of two files, one of which is a thread that handles pretty much all the physics and drawing of the game. The other file begins the thread and saveInstanceState method. Furthermore, what type is mLibrary?! I cannot find out anywhere! I imagine I will put the OnGesturePerformed method in my thread as this is where I handle all keyUp and Down events.
How do you use the Android API to zoom in and out maps with the 2 finger gestures like iPhone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the same problem with Gesture Builder on the emulator and when I build the app myself and install om my G1.
It does not save the gestures correctly on my sdcard. It does not create a folder called "gestures" but instead creates a file called "gestures" with a size on about 2kb. It does not grow when I create more gestures. Is this really correct, because I thought a folder would be created in which each gesture would be stored in different files.
I look in code for CreateGestureActivity.java and here is where the magic of saving happens:
final GestureLibrary store = GestureBuilderActivity.getStore(); store.addGesture(name.toString(), mGesture); store.save();
I want to implement the same behavior of the notification view in the official Facebook app.
The "notifications" tab are at the bottom and can drag/drop via fingers to full screen. How can I do that? I've tried it via ViewFlipper and Animation. But no success. The app "Zedge" has the same in the "search" function. Via drag/drop you can open the "search" view.

I am a brand new developer to Android. I wrote a pretty simple application that uses the gesture library. The application itself seems to run fine in the simulator. However, when I installed the application on my Google Dev Phone 1 (G1) last night, it doesn't seem to work. I've upgraded my G1 with the 1.6 image from the htc developer site. I see the first screen/activity for about a second and the application exits without and errors. Here is what my manifest looks like:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

My View subclass is can be written one of two ways, I've tried both. One implements OnGestureListener, the other doesn't. In both cases, the Activity registers the view for context menus when the view is created and registers itself, the activity, as the context menu listener.In the case where OnGestureListener is *not* implemented, context menus work. onCreateContextMenu() and onContextItemSelected() are both called and the menu works as expected. In the case where OnGestureListener *is* implemented by the view subclass, the context menu processing functions in the activity are never called. Problem is, I need both. Without OnGestureListener, I don't get fling events. With it, I don't get context menus. need both.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe App I'm trying to work on requires that when a special combination of keys are pressed ( irrespective of the keypad being locked ) a service / app is triggered.
How can I achieve this? My app's whole idea hinges on this particular part to work.
I am not here to take a "no" for an answer. If you are going to tell me that its not possible, atleast include an explanation as to why its not possible.
If (in Android) you wanted to write an alarm app where the user entered in the time for the alarm by swiping the hours & minutes up and down, what's the easiest way of achieving this? Is it the Swipe or Fling command?
Are there any good tutorials out there for this?
So my application has a large amount of textual data. Up until this point I've been using forward and back buttons to navigate from section to section. I was impressed with the horizontal scrolling of the Ebook reader from Alkido that is available on the store which uses a horizontal fling gesture to flip the pages. Does anyone have any experience doing something like this? I've done it a number of ways, but none seem to be very smooth or efficient.

View 12 Replies View RelatedFor those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.
From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers
Verbage:
Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
The app is still in development.
