This looks really nice! I'm looking forward to the next release! <br>I'll buy my own phone tonight (hopefuly...) and i'll try your abstractions sometime soon. <br><br>I'd be glad to help if i can, but a quick look at your blog remembered me that i have very limited skills... I can always test stuff on my own device if you want and if it makes sense. <br>
<br>I forgot to ask : can i use the tilt-sensor in PdDroidParty? <br><br>Pierre<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/9/5 Chris McCormick <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@mccormick.cx">chris@mccormick.cx</a>></span><br>

</div>Great stuff, I'm glad it works easily for you. These kind words make me<br>
motivated to get the new release out ASAP! :)<br>
<br>
(My Android phone died last night unfortunately but I will try to buy a<br>
new one today as the new release is very close and I might just be able to<br>
fit it into the family budget with some stretching heheheh).<br>

</div>Attached is a screenshot of what I am working on right now. You can theme<br>
the supported widgets with SVGs. E.g. an SVG image for toggle-on and a<br>
different one for toggle-off. You can have different SVGs according to<br>
labels and sendname too. So for example you could have all toggles themed<br>
with one look, and then give one toggle the "send" field of "record"<br>
themed differently with an SVG ("Toggle-record-off.svg") that looks like a<br>
record button.<br>

<br>
</div>I have made an abstraction called [loadsave] which wraps openpanel and<br>
savepanel in desktop Pd and lets you have a nice Android style interface<br>
on the device. That gives you a small amount of access to the filesystem,<br>
but not everything you mention. If you use the [menubutton] abstraction<br>
you can put things in the Android menu too. See the other screenshot for<br>
that.<br>
<br>
However, your question begs a larger one which is support for a limited<br>
number of externals. It would be cool to support [shell] and also the OSC<br>
externals in PdDroidParty, but it really depends on whether they have used<br>
Hans' Makefile-template which makes compiling for Android trivial. I will<br>
put this on the TODO list to investigate.<br>
<br>
In the end I would like to keep the number of externals as small as<br>
possible so that things work on vanilla Pd on the desktop, but if someone<br>
really needs something I am happy to look at putting it in. This is<br>
especially true if you get the PdDroidParty code checked out and do the<br>
work of making an external compile in yourself. :D<br>
