One-handed mode feature #545
Conversation
|
hi, I can't find the apk |
|
@qw123wh you'll find it there: |
|
@MajeurAndroid I download a file called “APK.zip” the problem is that it doesn't let me extract it. Publish an apk as a pre-release or send a link. I also tried to compile it with Android studio but I couldn't |
|
@MajeurAndroid to extract the archive "APK.zip" it asks me for a password, what is the password? |
|
@qw123wh if by "extracted" you meant install the apk, it should be fixed now. Try to re-download the apk, it should be signed. For the password, I have no idea what you're talking about, the archive is a regular zip. |
|
@MajeurAndroid it is a file .zip , but it is password protected. Try to download this .zip file yourself, then try to extract it and it will ask you for a password |
I have no issue with the archive, it works fine |
|
@MajeurAndroid @dslul I had a problem I could not download the file correctly, I don't know what caused it sorry, now everything is ok. On redmi 9a and redmi note 7 the one-handed mode works perfectly both in portrait and landscape. On redmi note 8 it works well only in portrait mode, (here I think it is a problem of custom rom, or an android 10 problem) On Samsung s2 tablet with android 7 and original samsung rom it does not work neither in landscape nor in portrait mode, and in addition, the number line does not appear. I only have this android tablet, I don't know if it works fine on other tablets |
…key when one-handed mode is enabled)
|
@qw123wh thanks, can you elaborate and describe what is not working on your tablet ? Maybe with screenshots. |
|
@MajeurAndroid This is the behavior of the app on the tablet ( the number line option is also enabled, but it doesn't work) Screenrecorder 2022_02_21_09_16_58.mp4 |
|
@MajeurAndroid perhaps this is better seen |
|
@qw123wh thanks, this is now fixed in 500c8eb. This one was tricky, the bug causing the issue is from Google itself ! I am really surprised it has not been fixed before! |
|
@MajeurAndroid perfect I tested the new apk and now everything works fine even on the tablet. Google makes many disasters, fixes bugs in proprietary apps (gboard) and ditches aosp counterparts |
|
I cannot for the life of me find how to enable this, I have the latest build in the releases page but don't have any settings for a one-handed mode. Clearly this has been added, but either it isn't in the current release or is horrible placed to where you can't find it unless you know where to look |
|
Since the lastest release is from January and this PR only got merged in March, I'm pretty sure its not included. But you should be able to use the APK from the artifacts of last Github Actions run: https://github.com/openboard-team/openboard/actions?query=branch%3Amaster. |
I still seem to be missing a setting for one-handed mode even with that latest build |
See the gif/video in the first post: try a long press on comma key |
|
@ItsRogueRen it's avilable as shown in the gif inside PR's description, can you try with an english keyboard ? If it is still not working, you might not have the latest release. |
I got it, it didn't actually install the first time around and I didn't realize |
This needs to be tested, especially on non qwerty configs (because I never use them :)). Feel free to comment with your feedbacks and, if needed, some screenshots.
You'll find an APK to test under the "Checks" tab, inside the artifact menu.
The amount of width reduction in one-handed mode is currently 86%, I only tested this on a regular phone. This value can (and must) be adapted to other configurations, such as tablets. Feel free to provide some feedbacks about how it feels on other devices.
Here is a preview:
