I’m currently trying to set a background image from a binding (the variably contains the path to the image).

I’m currently trying to set a background image from a binding (the variably contains the path to the image). I created a dummy binding and wrote the following code:

if($albumart!=null && $albumart!=””) item.setBoxBackground(LL.createImage($albumart),”nsf”,true);

But the background was updated only once. It doesn’t change anymore if the variable changes. What am I doing wrong?

Which Music Player do you use?

Which Music Player do you use?

– If your player is not in the comments, write it down (one player per comment)

– if it is already there, give it +1

(I use this type of survey, because google plus only allows up to 5 fixed answers).

I will check the more popular players and try to add support for them to my Metadata script. If you know that some players already work, you can tell me too.

I updated my Music Metadata script.

I updated my Music Metadata script.

I’m writing about this now specifically (most of my updates go silent), because it is a relatively simple yet practical example on how to utilize JavaAdapter. Check it out if you’re curious or if you just want to see the Syntax.

Lightning already has a pretty nice inheritance model for settings (which I as a Programmer used to OO obviously like). But it is missing one thing: Global default options.

I would like to see:

– default options for all containers (only the ones shared by all types) (I know we already have some of these in the “General” section)

– and separate ones for each container type (which inherit from the generic defaults)

– “Unset” renamed to “Inherit” because that’s really what it does.

It would be cool if we could use arrays in Bindings.

It would be cool if we could use arrays in Bindings.

Things like

$arr[0]

$x[2] = “example”

$y = [1,2,3]

Of course this would require matching methods in VariableSet and VariableEditor.

Now that we probably will be able to extend classes in the next version, I think it would be great if we also could extend Lightnings visible elements to e.g. create custom containers.

I have integrated the functionality of my Gesturelauncher into the MultiTool.

I have integrated the functionality of my Gesturelauncher into the MultiTool. Instead of reinventing the wheel it uses Androids own gesture detection, so it should work way better than the old script.

As I’m not entirely shure how stable this release is, it is availbale as Beta test here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.faendir.lightning_launcher.multitool

It would be nice if you could try it out and tell me if it works or not and if not what doesn’t work.

Pierre Hébert I have a custom view which tries to dispatch all touch events, which does not work. I can’t use the onTouch event provided by LL, because I extend an android class. I think if a custom view tries to dispatch a touch event, Lightning should not take it.
