Hello, I want to open a folder with a script.
Hello, I want to open a folder with a script. When the folder is open a wallpaper should be set (a blurred picture). If the folder is closed another wallpaper should be set (same but not blurred). I tried the whole day to write the script but now my brain is Mousse au Chocolat 🙂 .
Can someone help please?
thx

Is your folder a full-screen one?

< ![CDATA[
No, the folder slide in from the right of the screen. 240 x 800. I want to change the desktop background not the folder background.

Yes, I was going to suggest that 😉
Changing the device wallpaper is not a good idea in my opinion. A full-screen item is how I will do it.
Check this script by Lukas Morawietz https://github.com/F43nd1r/DimBackground/blob/master/app/src/main/res/raw/dimbackground.js (it is a github link because the script is packed in an app)
Where it changes the properties of the editor, set the box background.

Thank you. But this script is the cherry for my mousse (smile) . Maybe i could create an object with a blurred picture with the full screen size 480*800. This object can be set visible true/false on open/close folder.?

That’s a good idea

Ok, but how do i open a folder with a script. And if i start an app from the folder , the folder closes, how to make the fullscreen object invisible. I dont understand how i have to use “isVisible()” or “isOpen()”
?

Use instead the resumed and paused event of the folder itself
The easier way is:
Resumed event: LL.getItemById(??).setVisibility(true);
Paused event:
LL.getItemById(??).setVisibility(false);

Hi, cant sleep…
I get an error:
missing ) after argument list
This is the line
LL.getItemById(00003d).
setVisibility(true);
Whats wrong?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
😉
LL.getItemById(0x00003d).
setVisibility(true);
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Wow, thx! It looks great. Is it possible to set a fade in and out for the object with the blurred picture?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Yes, but you will need a more complex script…like the one in the link 😉
However there is a different way to do that, with bindings.
1) set the resumed event to change a variable to 255
2) set the paused event to set that variable to 0
3) set the alpha binding of the item to
animate(“$thevariable”)
where thevariable is the variable you choose on previous steps
4) set the visibility binding of the item to
animate(“$thevariable”)==0?0:1
Not tested, if it doesn’t work ask

Hello, i did everything you wrote. The only effect is, my object is invisible. Becomes visible in the editor, after closing the editor it disappears. I have to reload my previous settings (glad to have a backup) . Maybe my fault is the definition of the variable. I set the it like this
var myalpha=”255″
In the bindings
animate(“$myalpha”)
I put the last line in point 4 , exact as you wrote it.
I dont understand why ==0?0:1
]]>
< ![CDATA[
No no, forget about scripts, this is a different thing.
You don’t need to use run a script, you need to use set a variable.
The ==0?0:1 means “is the alpha 0? Then disable the item. It is not? Then enable it.
It is the same as:
if(animate(“$thevariable”)==0) return 0;
else return 1;

Ok, thx.
Btw, the object with the picture can also set as a transparent color, so i can use it as “backround-dimmer” if a folder is open. Great!
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Where and how must i set the variable?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Launch a shortcut, lightning launcher, set a variable, write the name of the variable, write the value of the variable
]]>
< ![CDATA[
YES, thank you! Now everything is working. I read the help about bindings. The part how to set the varables. I copied and modified the example.
This works.
var editor = LL.getVariables().edit();
editor.setInteger(“myalpha”, 255);
editor.commit();
Thanks again for your patience 😉
