module flying android doesn't work

@Jimmy34742: Sorry, I had tested "flying status bar" only when "auto pin" is enabled. The version 0.6.5 has bugs in flags of pin.
But I cannot see other problems (white list, pin's behavior in Solid Explorer and not fly when there are only ongoing notifications.) In particular, I haven't the slightest idea about the white list's problem because its setting works the same as the black list's. Maybe you might not be able to save the black list too. Or I had uploaded other APK?
@coolkaas: Thank you for taking that on.

Actually, the black list now also doesn't work for me. I added three apps to the black list a few versions ago, and those apps are still in the black list. But now I can't add any new apps to the black list, which is the same problem I have with the white list.

As I said, the pin used to work in Solid Explorer for me, but now it doesn't. It's not just Solid Explorer. When I pin gReader, for example, I can't scroll the gReader window. This means that, for me, pinning has no useful function.

I think I made a mistake before about the status bar. It works if I select something for Pin position. But I thought I could leave Pin position at "none" and check "Flying status bar." That way, the status bar would pin, but none of the apps. I tried it this way because of the problem I'm having with the white list (and black list).

Also, I still have to touch the status bar's pin two times to fly the status bar. In other words, when I open the status bar, the pin shows that it's ready to fly, but it doesn't fly until I toggle the pin two times.

EDIT: After I fly BitTorrentSync, I'm no longer able to open its settings under the menu button. In other words, I fly and then unfly BitTorrentSync. When I press the menu button, I pops up a tiny white box in the center of the screen. If I kill the app and restart it, the setting work correctly until I fly/unfly the app again. I wonder if other apps experience this same bug.

Settings of black and white list use Android's Preferences. And other settings also use it. Therefore, other settings might not be working correctly too. well... I suggest to reinstall FA.
Or... black / white list are specialized to support GB from 0.6.3. If you used black list correctly in 0.6.2 and not touched it later, this problem was caused by it. Do you remember?
I worry about the other issues, but first let's fix the settings.

Wiped data, uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled FA, but no change: I can't modify the white or black lists and pinned apps won't scroll while flying. I restored my previous 0.6.5 installation and settings using Android Tuner, this time as a system app, but it didn't restore the settings properly. The restored app also has no control over the black and white lists, so those three apps that used to be on my black list are now removed from it, which isn't good.

I don't actually remember when the black list stopped working because I didn't need to make any more changes to it, but 0.6.2 sounds about right. I only discovered the problem when I started using the white list. I could restore 0.6.2 using Android Tuner if you want to test.

I should describe the status bar problem this way: it always opens in the pinned state regardless of the appearance of the pin icon.

@Jimmy34742: Thank you for attempting them. After getting the results, I decide to stop supporting GB.

Settings are very basically function, so I must fix the problem at first to isolate other problems. I'm going to remove specialized codes for GB in the next version. Then the new version will have settings processed like v0.6.2. I expect that black / white lists work fine and fix some other problems at the same time. (Though leave pin bugs on status bar...)
I'll update on Sunday.
@coolkaas: I'm sorry, but I'm going to cut off GB support from current FA's branch. Please retest later because I am scheduling to release my codes after stable 0.6.

the partial-scroll-while-pinned problem

More information about the fail-to scroll-while-pinned problem. I discovered that Solid Explorer sometimes does scroll while pinned, but it will only scroll the amount it would have scrolled without flying. In other words, if I open a folder in Solid Explorer and it shows all but four of the folder's items, then I can scroll it four slots. When I fly that same window, it doesn't show as many items, so I will need to scroll more than four slots. But when I pin that window, it will still only scroll four slots and won't scroll all the way to the bottom. If the unflying window would have shown all items without scrolling, then the pinned window won't scroll at all. I think other apps might have the same partial-scroll-while-pinned problem.

0.6.6:

1) status bar pin works correctly
2) still partial pin functionality: can't get full scroll inside pinned windows
3) white and black lists still don't work.

Actually, the status bar isn't working 100% correctly. When I open it by swiping down from the top, it opens pinned and non-flying. If I there is a "clear" button available, then I un-pin and fly the window so that I can reach the "clear" button. After pressing the "clear" button, the window is dismissed. The next time I open the status bar, it opens as already flying, with the pin correctly showing the un-pinned state. In other words, the status bar's pin is always correct, and the status bar flies without a problem, but dismissing the status bar via an item inside of it fails to re-set the status bar's flying and pin states. On the other hand, if I always dismiss the status bar window via the back button, then everything works correctly.

I'm so sad to hear that. :crying:

That aside...
For status bar, I'll pin it when it is dismissed.
For the partial-scroll-while-pinned problem, I can understand that there is the problem on your phone, but I cannot reproduce it. Maybe... I saw the problem already, but I might not think it as a problem for me. Umm... if a pinned window is out of the screen partially, I cannot see all the items even if scroll. It's not what you meant?

I mean that the pinned window will scroll regardless of its position, but it won't scroll all the way to its last item. It will only scroll the same number of positions that it would have scrolled before flying.

More info on the black list problem: if I select an app and then do "show only black," it lists no apps and then the check box is cleared for that app. It sucks because I'm no longer able to black list my keyboard app, which frequently ends up flying accidentally even though I would never fly the keyboard. It's confusing when the keyboard flies inside another app.

Perhaps make it a user option? Either behavior might be desirable sometimes--it's hard for me to tell until I've used the app longer.

Hi! I have a good news. I create a thread for Flying Android. It is entirely thanks to you!

Umm... I cannot reproduce the phenomenon.:crying:
On the other hand, other reported problem that options menu shown by menu key grows smaller was reproduced! But this problem is not easily too.

Thanks to this info, I found a new attempt (modifying code). Please continued cooperate.

Although still I don't think deeply about its approach of realization, I want to be able to both.
