[MOD] [XPOSED] Keep Trash [v2.0.1]

xenon92 · Jul 11, 2014

Keep Trash

An open source Xposed module to customize the visibility of menu options from 3-dot overflow menu to the action bar in official Google Keep app.

My personal blog post for the module - Read Me

Featured on XDA portal.
Thanks to @eagleeyetom for featuring the module.

I use Google Keep a lot to jot down thoughts that come to my mind, thoughts that may come in handy in future. This leads to many many notes scattered all over the app.

To delete a note, I had to -

Long tap the note
Tap on the 3-dot overflow menu
Tap on 'Delete

It was a little bit annoying to have an extra tap to open the 3-dot overflow menu just so that I could reach the 'Delete' button. So I moved the button to the action bar.

Now, to delete a note -

Long tap the note
Tap on 'Delete'

In v1.1, I implemented a customizable icon listing in the action bar of the official Google Keep app. The users can select which icons they want to show in their Google Keep app action bar. Users can choose any combination, such as select only one among the menu icons listed below, choose any two, choose all three or choose none. Users can choose among the following icons -

Archive
Delete
Share

In v1.2, I implemented a customizable icon listing in the action bar when the note was being edited in the official Google Keep app. Just like v1.1, users can select any combination among the menu items listed below -

Archive
Show/Hide Checkboxes

After 2 years, with v2.0 comes a completely re-written implementation of the Xposed module. The code is more flexible and robust. Keep Trash now uses the new material design and new material drawables that are consistent with the official Google Keep app. Now, visibility of 6 menu items can be customized - Delete, Archive, Share, Reminder, Label and Color Picker. For more details, check the changelog below.

You can select the icons you want to show in your Google Keep app action bar and customize your Google Keep experience.

Yay I was waiting for google for sooo long to make this an option like on Gmail. Thank you very much. Also could you male the swipe action also delete the note instead of archiving? I presume it's not hard, only changing a method call

sergej_7 · Jul 12, 2014

could you move the share button to the action bar too?

Google Keep is closed source. The code is obfuscated, so pin pointing the method is hard. But I'll still look into it.

This is feasible. It will make the action bar cluttered if I move "all" the menu options to the action bar. I'll keep this option customizable in the GUI, giving user the ability to choose which menu icons they want in their action bar, and which ones should be moved to the 3-dot overflow menu.

Thank you for the suggestion.

****ing awesome! This has been my long standing gripe with Keep. Thanks dev! :good: Now, if someone would find a way to remove the limits on the amount of text one is allowed to write in a single note, Keep would be perfect for me!

DarkSorcerer · Jul 12, 2014

Oh yeah! At last! Thank you!

csoulr666 · Jul 12, 2014

These are the kinds of modules which make Xposed really handy. Thanks a lot for this

xenon92 · Jul 12, 2014

So I wasn't the only one who was frustrated by Google's decision to keep 'Delete' button 2 taps away from the user. Good to know!

Maybe masterminds at Google just don't want the users to delete their data from their servers (if they even do that) , but instead just want you to archive it (for them). After all, the one who controls "user's data", controls the present and the future! Hehe.

Anyways, I am glad this module is useful for others too.

Please post the Xposed log and logcat with v1.1.

sergej_7 · Jul 13, 2014

i got a really cool idea right now, how about a "keep trash" module for Google chrome? it would be really cool to have New tab, share, print and desktop mode buttons in the action bar of chrome

Please take a logcat and post here.

Follow the following steps:

- Reboot phone
- Start taking logcat
- Open Keep Trash GUI (v1.1)
- Open Keep
- Stop logcat

Post it here.

This is the source code from XposedBridge: THIS & THIS & THIS

So go to

Code:

/data/data/de.robv.___/conf/

and check if there exists a file named disable_resources there. If it is there, do your research as to why it is there. If you feel comfortable enough after your research, remove the file and test again.

Any plans to modify the acton bar that is shown when a note is open?

With my usage (widget on home screen, notes are accessed from the widget), this would be very useful! [emoji106]

Actually yes. I am thinking about moving 'Show Checkboxes' in the note editor from overflow menu to action bar. I use it there a lot.

m+a+r+k · Jul 16, 2014

I would prefer the Share button there. It seems more natural for me to write something and then send it to Google Drive by clicking on the icon in the action bar than having to go to the Browser screen and then save it.

Great module by the way, thanks.

//.dax · Jul 17, 2014

Your module really rocks! Keep up in good work

But here are a little request.. Don't you think that icons on action bar are too big? MDPI device here

Google Keep can be accessed from a browser too - https://keep.google.com/

If you mean 'Share' icon to be in action bar while a note is being edited.. Maybe in future..

Yes they seem a little bigger for an MDPI device. I own a HDPI device, and they seem fine on my device at least (as you can see from the screenshots). I'll reduce the size for MDPI in future release.
