Is there an alternative to the HTC Sense People widget? Basically, I like it, but I would prefer it to be horizontally oriented, instead of the 2 modes available - Vertical and Full Screen

How can I have a portrait-oriented menu in my lanscape-oriented view in Android?
I'm building an application with some items that must be landscape-oriented. Everything else (menu, view for editing the item, list of item...) should change orientation according to the orientation of the device. To do that I set android:screenOrientation="landscape" in the AndroidManifest.xml for the activity showing my items. Now, how can I create a portrait-oriented menu for that activity?
I'm also wondering if setting the screen orientation of the activity is the only way? Isn't it possible to set the screenOrientation for each view?
I'm trying to find the horizontally scrolling app widget that is shown in the screenshot below. I saw this picture on another forum and I msged the poster however I received no reply so I decided to continue searching. The unlock slider looks very neat as well and would love to get my hands on it.
View 2 Replies View Relatedall my contacts are google contacts with several linked to Facebook accounts.When I access my contacts through the People widget, all's good, I only see the google contacts (I've deselected Facebookers in the view menu). However when I access the Messages widget all my contacts are doubled up for some reason. I realise this list is also showing facebook contacts as well as google contacts but even the non-facebook contacts are doubled up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGot a Desire last week, and it's my first smartphone so am on a bit of a learning curve, but the phone does rock.
Anyway, I'm a little confused with regards to the People Widget.
I have it configured on one of my home screens and its linked to my Gmail contacts account. I have set my favourites (grouped as 'Starred in Android')
and synched the favourites to go to that group when you first set it up.
Now, the phone also has 3 duplicate contacts in the list - all of the duplicates look like they've come from Facebook, but I can't get rid of them from the list.
At first I thought that the phone was trying to synch my gmail contacts with my facebook contacts, but then it hasn't done all of my Facebook contacts that match the contacts in my Gmail.
I'm a bit confused as to how they've got in there.
I've tried resysnching Gmail and Facebook, removed the People widget and re-added it, I've checked everything in my Gmail contacts but can't see anything un-toward, I've tried having background data sync enabled and disabled whilst trying to remove these to no avail.
I still can't seem to remove these 3 duplicate entries.
i was wondering if it is possible to get rid of the voicemail from my people widget. i have the single line it has voicemail at the top which means i only have space for 2 other contacts without having to scroll down?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to sort the HTC People Widget other than alphabetically? Or, is there a way to place a person shortcut on the home screen with a larger thumbnail (like the size of the ones in the People widget)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOne of the things my wife is frustrated with on her new Hero is that the People Widget only allows you to place a shortcut for one form of communication for each individual contact. I know the phone holds many more than just this 'default' form of contact you pick when selecting the person, but is there a way to have the People Widget take you to the person's contact page rather than directly to calling them, messaging them or emailing them?
View 22 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to object-oriented programming, and I'm really interested in learning it correctly. My problem is this:I am trying to create a TabActivity which plots the user's data over time in each tab's content. Then only thing the tabs are going to control is the timespan of the graph. (i.e. one tab for 'past year', one for 'past month', one for 'all time', etc). As you can see, the layout used for each tab will be identical. The code used for each tab will only differ by a couple lines... (the starting and ending date of the x-axis).
I'm not sure how I can pull this off in a well-designed, object-o fashion. Any ideas?
Anyone know why my contacts pictures wouldnt be show in my People widget, im using the single line widget and none of my pictures linked with FB are showing up they are just blank, but when i go to the actual list of contacts, and to my favorites, the pictures are there next to the names. I used it before and it worked fine, i recently wiped my phone and now they arent working.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have seen the new HTC Droid Eris commercial a few times and it seems to fudge the truth when using the HTC people widget. You can clearly see in the commercial someone clicking on a person from the HTC people widget. However, after they click the person it brings up the person's information, as opposed to performing the default action specified for the contact. From my tinkering with this widget, it seems that you cannot actually perform the action they show in the commercial.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI just installed the froyo leak and bought launcher pro plus. When I use the messaging and people widget the contact pictures don't show but under my contact list it shows the pictures. So im wondering if you guys have any solutions. Also under the social networking logo widget when I resize it it doesn't show the text, only a blurry picture. So im wondering if you guys have any solutions?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI removed the People widget. From the main screen, scroll right. Hold down the People widget and remove it. I was getting 10 hours daily off a full charge. Today I got up to 14. Normally I lose 10% per hour. In the morning, I was losing 5%. I was hoping to double my 10 hours and get to 20 but I did make it to 14.
I was also losing 15-20% in the first hour battery drain. After removing the people widget, I only lost 3%! Previously, I tried everything. Turned off GPS, formatted SD card, hard reset, changed from GSM to CDMA, charging while the phone was off/on repeatedly. I have hardware version 003.
I have lost a couple of pictures from the people widget yet the photos have not been deleted from the phone.When I view the relevant contacts in people or receive a text then the relevant photo appears at the side of the contact but not in the widget.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGot my legend today and loving it! the only problem i have at the minute is that the 'people' widget doesn't want to find any of my contacts when I search for them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two contacts in there currently and want to get rid of them and start over. Can't figure out any way to do it. I even went into 'manage applications' and found the widget and cleared the cache and data and the dang thing still shows the same two contacts that I want to get rid of. This widget is pretty useless. Can't put in multiple instances of the same contact (like one for cell and one for home), yet you also can't seem to just set it to take you to their contact info when you click on a person - you have to choose a default.
View 15 Replies View RelatedStrange thing has happened since the upgrade. I added the people widget to a screen in the large (9x9) style. The group I choose all have photos for each contact. If I view them in the people group listing, all the photos show next to the name. If I view the individual contacts the photos are there.
But only half the photos show in the widget view - anyone know what's going on? I can't work out what the difference could be between the contacts, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
What would be the best way to implement Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) in an Android application?
Would it be efficient with the mobile battery?
I linked my gmail with my phone and ended up with so many contacts from random emails that its rediculous. Old craigslist ads are now in my contact list.I would like to have a contact with their mobile, home, emails, etc as one contact not 3,4 or 5.Also, I selected which ones I wanted before the link and I ended up will all of them.Finally, the people widget would be great if you didnt have to select a default action. I might text the same person alot but how do I call or email them from the widget if they have a default command?

Since updating my Desire to 2.2 my people widget no longer show me if people in my favorite group have updated their status! It use to show a green spot by the name with number within it. Has anyone else notice this since updating? This feature was really useful!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a content provider that returns data about game sessions. This data comes from an SQLite table. However, the client that consumes it will also want summary data: total wins, current/best winning streak, and so on. I'm not sure which approach to use.
* Possible Approach 1: Do nothing, let the client calculate what it needs.
The client could step through the whole table and calculate statistics itself. However, it's inefficient to send the entire database over the content provider link if the client only wants the summaries; this may also be prone to bugs because each client has to reimplement the summary calculations.
* Possible Approach 2: Separate content URIs for summary data.
The client could ask for a URI like content://myapp/summary/totalwins and get back a text/plain stream containing the number of wins. This seems like a big hassle to implement on both ends, though. Or it could ask for a URI like content://myapp/summary and get back an XML stream containing all the summary data, but this isn't much simpler.
* Possible Approach 3: A phony table.
The client could ask for a URI like content://myapp/summary and get back a cursor over a single row, with each summary value having its own column. This would not be an SQLite cursor but a custom in-memory cursor. It seems a little unnatural to use a table metaphor when there's always exactly one row, though.
* Possible Approach 4: The extras bundle.
Cursor has a getExtras() method that returns a bundle. The client could make a request for the main URI, content://myapp/sessions, and then just look at the extras bundle instead of reading any rows. However, there's no setExtras() method, so I'm stuck with whatever bundle object SQLite puts in there - and if it's Bundle.EMPTY, I'm out of luck.
I searched and could not find relevant results...
Right now I can only see one person I'm following in the widget, is there a way to see tweets from everyone within the widget? I checked settings, but no such luck.
Also, is it another battery drainer similar to the weather and people widget?
How can you make it so when you tap on a favorite person in the widget it gives you the choice to call or or sms?

Hello, Android - Ed Burnette
However, I think I need something that looks at programming from a less language dependent standpoint. Something that takes a bird's eye view if that makes sense.
It's very easy to see how particular functions work, but I'm looking to get a better sense of how all the pieces fit together. How does one split up an app into individual classes and packages? Do I have a method in main that shuffles my deck of cards (object) or does the class deck of cards have a method I can call to shuffle itself?
I think I'm looking for a book on object oriented design? I've also been working through the tutorials and examples at http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html and also in the three books I've been reading so far. Maybe I just need to spend more time coding though?
