[MOD] [Xposed] [V3.1] Multiwindow [No flashing] [22-01-13]

[Scalee]

can you just create a kind of beta version which can be tested by the users... If its possible

Theres allot more then just testing.
Firstly i'd need the new files. Then i need to find out where the crash occurs,
And then fix it.

If i need to make a new version which logs some things, post it, wait for reply, make another version, post it, wait etc etc.
It will take forever, and at the end of the day it might even change in the final version.

However maybe it's a simple issue. If somebody could post a log cat of the crash that should allow me to determine the extent of the issue.

Aha.. This may actually be a super easy fix.
Could you check the following directory and tell me which files it contains:

/data/data/com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService/shared_prefs

 

[rahuliyer95]

It contains the "FlashBarPosition.xml" file nothing else.. What else should it contain??

flash_bar_list.xml, If you haven't already could you try removing or adding an app from your multi window bar.
To see if that creates the flash_bar_list.xml

 

[Scalee]

Ow sh*... I think i may have deleted the VM which held the source for this project..
Let's see if i can recover anything

EDIT 1: 2 and a half hour left for recovery results.

EDIT 2: I found pieces of the code, i think i can patch it back to a whole. but first i have to setup a new development environment.
But that might take a while since i am annoyed with my own stupidity.

 

[rahuliyer95]

Happens bro... You will manage

UPDATE 1 :-

Here is the flash_bar_list.xml file..

Great MOD !!

Would it be possible to implement when running apps within Multi Window to automatically default to 240DPI ? This will allow more visible real estate within the individual windows. Many thanks ! and yes Fullscreen will be nice too.

I don't need the actual file, I do need to know if it was in the same location and had the same name.
The crash you are having occurs when it tries to get the default location for that file.

Hopefully ill have time to setup the development environment tonight, then i need to reconstruct the project and test it.
Then i can look into this different version, at the earliest i will have a test version wednesday. (but probably later )

I tried making it full screen it didn't work. As for the 240 DPI this would mean closing the application before running it in multi window,
And close it again when you take it out again. Not very handy in my opinion.

 

[rahuliyer95]

Yes the file was in that location only

have you checked if it's possible to fix the remnants of the tablet multi-window they left in the phone version?
it would be really nice if all apps could be turned into floating windows.

I haven't and probably won't look into it until 4.2.

+1 I think we would all love this but patience will pay off. All apps floating would be awesome if perfected

 

[Scalee]

Right.. I can compile the project again.

However they changed ALLOT and by allot... i mean basically everything.

I first have to make a new method to load all apps. Then i need to check if my fixes are still needed, And if so also make those.

tl;dr to remake this i am probably gonna to need to test tons of times.
And since this version is not available for my phone this is not possible, so no new version until i can test.

NP bro we can wait till 4.2.2 comes out. Take your time no rush. Thanks for all you've done.

I found a nice little tweak for phones with this mod on some website, but it doesn't seem to have been mentioned in this thread before.
if you combine it with xposed app settings you can get a hybrid phone/tablet mode where Windows in split-screen mode can be undocked to turn them into floating apps like on the note 10.1.
it's not perfect, but it does work.
the undock icon only appears when 2 windows are open, and it doesn't seem to work on the first window you open.
to enable this:
set the screen(dp) option for "android system" to 1280x800 in xposed app settings but say no when you're offered to kill it.
reboot your phone (power>restart or the reboot button in the xposed installer)
open the multi-window launcher, and open an app fullscreen.
drag the app you want to have floating from the multi-window launcher on to the fullscreen app.
tap the green pin to unpin the app and make it float.

apps that are floating like this will work pretty much the same as in Windows.
you drag them around using the bar on top.
there's a maximize and a close button in the top-right corner.
tapping the pin again should put the floating window back into split-screen mode.

edit: some corrections.
once undocked the pin button stops working.
and the float options don't seem to appear on some apps.
perhaps an idea for an expansion of the multi-window mod would be to make floating windows more consistent and easier to enable.

thanks, workded for me
but my locksreen is messed up.
shortcut-icons, weather and time are now really big.

did someone had the same issue and found a solution?

4.1.2
nova launcher
multiwindow non240dpi version

 

[thedicemaster]

I don't use a lockscreen, so I didn't encounter that problem.

you could try a 3rd party lockscreen like widgetlocker.

I'm using 240dpi version.
Multi window itself is displayed fit, but the screen divider is short, starting from left end and not reaching right end.

Yes i noticed this before, However it never really bothered me.
So i haven't fixed it. Will see if i fix it when 4.2 comes around, if ever.

Works pretty good , S4 i9500
