LectureNotes app

[acadoid]

@lukair1983: Many thanks for purchasing the app.

Your question is difficult to answer without knowing which device and stylus (active or passive) you use.
@kennyTSV: I guess if the click is to quick, it is ignored by the Android system. For instance, if you click on an icon, hold it and while holding move away from the icon, the click is ignored as well.
@Hahahalalala: From LectureNotes' perspective, it does not make any difference whether you are using a hardware or a soft keyboard, it just receives input events (key down, key up, etc.). Hence, it is not clear why LectureNotes should respond slowly when you use a hardware keyboard.

Thanks, do you happen to know a way to fix it? Just in general....
This is very annoying

Good apps deserve support.

My problem "dissapeared" believe it or not, when I purchased the app. Have no clue how that happened.

One question to you guys. Do you know how S-Pen accuracy can be improved on galaxy note 8.0? The tablet is fantastic to me, but still I think there is a room for improvement, and the s-pen is off, especialy on the sides.

@Hahahalalala: I don't see what I can do in LectureNotes.
@lukair1983: Inaccuracies of the S-pen close to the display boundary is a common problem.

Thanks acacoid! The behaviour you mentioned is really interesting - regarding dropping the tip of S-pen onto an icon (and keeping the tip on the icon) and then dragging the tip of S-pen away from the icon results in no mode-change. I didn't know about that one too.

Getting back to the scenario of a very quick-tap on an icon not causing the mode to change even when the icon is momentarily highlighted (due to S-pen detection).........I think it would be good if there was an android option that allows the S-pen tap detection to be counted as a detection. This is because if a spot-tap (not a drag) gets registered as a detection (due to the icon momentarily lighting up), then it should be counted as a detection/selection.

It's nice to know what's going on though. For now, I can try a marginally longer tap on the icons with the S-pen, which should help with the mode-change. Thanks for your help again acacoid!

Oh, I didn'tmean Lecture Notes. I meant just in general. If you happen to know any fixes.

I see. Nothing wrong in asking

@kennyTSV: All these responses are controlled by Android, not by the app.

Lecture Notes Support Issues

Hi there:

I have a Samsung Note III and Samsung Note 10.1 that I just purchased. This is my first posting in this forum. First off, my name is Peter and I want to know if I am posting in the right place. If not, any suggestions where I should post these basic questions. I downloaded the trial version of Lecture Notes. LN seems like a great app but when I am having trouble importing a PDF into LN (as the PDF area is greyed out on the Samsung Note 10.1)

I look forward to the input of all of you. Once again this my first posting here.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

Couple more questions for those who know:

Does LectureNotes have a help page?

I found a link to a bunch of videos at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214912

Watched the first two and they are not helpful as I can't download PDFs b/c they are "greyed out" after hitting import?

Additional questions:

Q1. In LNs which is higher in file heirarchy, folders or notebooks (aren't really just different names for older and subfolder)?

Q2. In LNs, is it possible to save each note as document with a simple name like "02212014_BUS_SMITH" insrtead of using notebooks and folders?

Q3. If you are forced to use notebooks and folders, is it possible for LN to be able create such new folder or notebook with a standard color, paper type and size (this way all the time wasted in picking these items can be avoided)?

Once again this my second post here. If this is not the right place to post this question then please let me know where to post?

PS How do I get a hold of the LN developer for support questions (do they have an email address)?

@xcookpac: Yes, select `help´ in any of the main menu or direct your browser to http://lecturenotes.wikia.com/.

LectureNotes cannot directly handle PDF, it needs a free helper app PDFView (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.pdfview or http://www.amazon.com/Acadoid-Developer-PDFView/dp/B00CPR4L6K/) to convert the PDF file to its own format. Restart LectureNotes after installation, then there will be additional menu entries and the PDF import settings will be accessible.

Q1. I guess what you call a `note´ is called a notebook in LectureNotes. Notebooks contain pages, whereas folders contain notebooks or other folders.

Q2. Yes, this would be a notebook in LectureNotes' terminology.

Q3. I am not sure whether I understand the question. LectureNotes keeps your last choices, so you can reuse them for the next notebook.

Yes, I have an email address, devel [ AT ] acadoid.com.

Hi @acadoid - continuing to love your app.

I have however found a very strange bug.

I use the text layer to type out the title of the page, like "IT Status Meeting". I always use the insert timestamp option to place the date and time underneath the title to mark when a meeting took place.

However, I have noticed that if I type a very long title, like "Conversation with Harry about Infrastructure", hit carriage return, then use the insert timestamp option, the timestamp gets inserted halfway through the first line, rather than appending it to the end of the current text.

I have attached a screenshot from my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, to show what i mean.

Even if I hit carriage return a few times and add some additional text on subsequent lines, the timestamp always seems to be inserted up on the top line.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

 

[acadoid]

@nickzeff: That is rather weird. I cannot reproduce this on my test devices, time stamp insertion works as intended. Also, the code is so simple that it is very difficult to see what could go wrong: LectureNotes requests the position of the cursor from Android and inserts the time stamp there.

Awesome app

I was using the s-note app that came with my 10.1 but switched to LectureNotes when the -note kept on losing my files. The only question I have is how to open my notes on my mac? I update my notebooks on to my google drive and would love to just open them up on my mac.

 

[AhmadLight]

Thanks for the great app...

Some issues...

1-When I click my s-pen button to change between custom pens... it revert back to the first pen after one use...
I want to continue using until I press again on the S-Pen button like in S-Note
Can you add that option please?

2- Writing text... it always starts from the beginning of the page... isn't there anyway to insert it just where I want to?


Thanks again

 

[acadoid]

@AhmadLight: 1. To allow that is on my agenda.

Consider to use the pencil toolbox to easily change pencils.

2. Besides the text layer which works like a text editor or word processor and has no free placement, there is the text drawing tool. It is accessible via the pencil toolbox or the drawing tools menu.

 

[acadoid]

@rovmos: Sorry, somehow I missed your post.

LectureNotes' notebooks are best viewed as PDF outside LectureNotes. Note thatr there is a semi-automatic export to PDF, select `export notebooks board to PDF´ in the main menu and select `modified notebooks only´.

Thanks for your fast reply, I found the text box.
And waiting for adding that fearure

I've tried LectureRecordings... I wished I could reply the written notes while hearing the voice
Like this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.welldonecom.android.spenvoice.free

Your app has a lot of features than this one, but I hope you can make replying the lecture play audio simultaneously with notes

Can you add this feature?

 

[acadoid]

@AhmadLight: LectureRecordings does not replay the actual writing process, this is not what it aims at. In case you think of producing something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_H1F2kaRg, this was done using the LectureVideos extension.

 

[lukair1983]

Lecture Notes is great for me, for taking notes etc, but imo it is limited about pdf's and images. What kind of app(apps) would you guys recomend for taking notes on pdf's (large pdf's with large pages like 10000x10000) and images (also large images)?
