terRemote - Android remote app for EventGhost

[therealbiglou]

Additionally, there seems to be a bit of a bug with button borders. I had a white background with white buttons and 0px border. However, there was still a VERY slight border around the buttons that was visible. Changing the border color to #ffffff even though it was 0px at least made it blend in. It looks like the app is still trying to draw a border even when zero size is selected.

Here's what it looks like:



In addition, as you can see, the icons aren't centered. The button is 108px x 108px and the icon is 108px x 108px so I would expect it to be centered. Is there a way to fix this?

@ntk1: Big THUMBS UP for these layouts! You should consider sharing them in the Online Library when you're done.

@therealbiglou (first post): Currently, there isn'. You'd have to pick each file at once. It's been on my list for a while but with quite low priority so I didn't get round to it, yet.

@therealbiglou (last post): This really seems odd. Can you send me an export file of that layout so that I can check what went wrong?

[therealbiglou]

Thanks for the update! Centered icons and 0px borders now behave as they should!

THANKS

but i cant, always get unknown error when trying to upload

[terRemote]

@therealbiglou: You're welcome!

@ntk1: Also with version 1.26? At which step does this appear? Is the screenshot made correctly?

[ntk1]

yes, it take the screenshot, then when trying to send the remote crash it OUT OF MEMORY, i get this error a lot, also i had problem to backup and always getting an error, but i find the reason why, if i make a design with an image it cant backup the remote use this design, so i need to remove the button use the design before backup the remote

also i cant backup all my remotes in one file, i did the backup in 4 files because its always crash OUT OF MEMORY, i have HTC ONE X with 1GB ram and i don't use big images, also i only have 20 layouts most of them i only started with almost no images and buttons, also i cant duplicate remotes, it crash "nullpointerexception"

[terRemote]

ok, thanks for the detailed description. I will investigate the out-of-memory error. So far, I only experienced this with displaying large images, not with "just" handling medium-sized ones.

The duplicating-error will be fixed in the next version. It was already reported and I just got round to it.

[ntk1]

thanks, tried few times now and i manage to upload 2 remotes

ledstrip and darbee will have more cool remotes to upload soon

BTW, there is a reason why all the GET option in not available also in SET ? for example change color

[terRemote]

Not in particular. Changing colors will be possible once I made the adjustments. The GET function is newer and way easier to implement, thus it supports more properties at the moment.

I have a question that I hope someone can help me out with. Setting up direction keys I am trying to use the durable option so i can press and hold the button and event ghost will see it as multiple button presses. That part is no problem, but what is, is on a single press eventghost recognizes and 2 button presses (withoutRelease & buttonRelease). I have tried different macros (jump, etc.) in event ghost to try to work around the issue but am having no success. I'm sure someone (dev) has an easy fix. And because I'm sure I'll get an answer I'll give a peak at my work in progress with this awesome app! Actual Resolution is 1024x600.

Hi,

great remotes

This issue seems like a bug to me. I helped myself by using something like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1610">
    <Folder Name="auto repeat" Expanded="True">
        <Macro Name="Emulate Keystrokes: {Up}" Expanded="True">
            <Event Name="TCP.Up" />
            <Action>
                EventGhost.PythonScript(u'if eg.event.payload[1] == u"ButtonRelease":\n    eg.result = False\nelse:\n    eg.result = True')
            </Action>
            <Action>
                EventGhost.NewJumpIf(XmlIdLink(346), 1, False)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                Window.SendKeys(u'{Up}', False)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                EventGhost.AutoRepeat(0.59999999999999998, 0.29999999999999999, 0.01, 3.0)
            </Action>
        </Macro>
        <Macro Name="Do nothing" id="346" Expanded="True">
            <Action>
                EventGhost.PythonScript(u'')
            </Action>
        </Macro>
    </Folder>
</EventGhost>

Just copy the code into EventGhost and see how it works. You basically just have to change the action and event for making this work.

Best

may I ask where to paste it? Do i add it to my saved profile?

[terRemote]

Just right click on the event tree or any folder in it. "Paste" should be available. If not, make sure you have the latest version of eventghost. This will add one folder and two macros to your tree.

[bryanleesterk]

got it. for some reason i wasn't getting the paste option when copying from firefox. so i actually found a use for internet explorer. I'll give it a shot later today (after some much needed sleep) and let you know how it works. Once again thanks for the help

[bryanleesterk]

I decided to give it a shot quick before bed and it works flawless. Looks like i have work to do with many other buttons Thank you so much for your help!
