Hi,

file selection is handled in AndroidExplorer.java. There is a variable called root which has to be set to "/"

Code: Select all

public class AndroidExplorer extends ListActivity {

	private List<String> item = null;
	private List<String> path = null;
	private String rootSDCard;
	private String root = "/";
	private TextView myPath;
...

later on it is checked and unless actual path equals root, "../" is added

Code: Select all

		if (!dirPath.equals(root)) {
			item.add("../");
			path.add(f.getParent());
		}

Hope it helps.

BTW Pocket AMC Reader is Open Source, so I can send you source code. There is no need to decompile anything.

Hi,

I was wondering if i can get the source code of the AMC pocket reader.
I want to learn how to make (update) the app.

Thanks,
Bianca

Hello Mr Elman,
Can you put an option to delete the Search Window on Pocket AMC Reader for Android ( bottom of the screen)?

It takes many place on a smartphone and prevent the answer view.

Thank You for your Help.

Hi. Actually I tried to do that couple of years ago, but I was unable to make it disappear. I would have to make custom listview and that's a bit difficult. So sorry, can't help here

Hood afternoon to all!!
I would like to thank you for this fantastic app.

Is it possible to view custom fields I added on the windows app?

Second thing: I have the XML version of the catalog plus all images stored in a shared HDD in my LAN. I can access it using ftp. Is there a way to make Pocket AMC Reader point to this ftp folder avoiding to store everything in my tablet?

Thanks again!!

Regarding any new features. I've started complete rewrite of the app. However one year has passed and I was unable to finish new version. Therefore I decided to publish source code on Github so that anyone can contribute and hopefully we will finish new version sooner. I will post more info in this thread soon.

Hello Mr Elman,
The numbering of images changes with each addition of film.

My collection exceeds 2500 films and takes 30 minutes to transfer my collection on my phone because all the names of the images have renumbered.

Can we consider having fixed image names to have to reload ONLY the file .xlm and additional photos?

I use too Pocket AMC Reader on my Shield TV working with Android 6.0.
Pocket AMC Reader is very nice on my 55 inches TV...

Thank You for your Help.

Hi,

that is very weird issue. My reader doesn't change numbering. Can you give me more specific description?

Or maybe you could consider not using numbers in names of images but rather formatted name. I use it like that and movie Evil Dead has always image Evil Dead.jpg. No numbering can change that.

elman wrote:Hi,

couple of years ago I started to write new version of Pocket AMC Reader. It was designed specifically for Android 4 (which was very latest at the moment) and tablets. Two years have passed and I only have alpha version available. It is kinda usable (I use it on my phone), but far from being completed.

So I'm looking for contributors. If anyone is interested, you can find source code at https://github.com/elman22/pocket-amc-reader . It can be built and you can run it on your phone. Just make sure to uninstall old version first, because new version will not install over (it is not signed).

Here are couple of screenshots of how it's going to look like:

--------------------------

Elman

great job you did on the original. I dont think there is need for an upgrade maybe to be honest as the original works 100%. If you remember a few months back I had emailed you for help with Modding the code to change a few things and be able to creat 2 copies of the app to run at same time on my phone. with your help I had success and thought Id share a few screen shots of the fiished product. I was able to fully customise some stuff within the app mainly icons and colours ect, but it was enough to create 2 different colour themes for myself and my father inlaw who is alos a big movie fan. we love the app and have been using it for a few years now but since customising the themes it had been great.

The new version looks nice but if we has maybe different themes for the old one I think it may be nice. I am not a programmer but am just learning very small amounts of android coding so would not be up to your standard but may be able to help with themes in spare time. I will look forward to your progress on the new app.

Keep up the good work

Well, old version works fine, but it's old

Over the time it got more difficult to add new stuff. Also I programmed almost everything myself so it was quite a lot to do and fix. So I decided to make this app more modern. This brings a lot of new stuff:

- I'm using libraries, so the code is better tested than my own code,
- Code is cleaner and easier to manage,
- Import is faster,
- Movie details are now presented on one page and there is no need to move your finger to tabs at the top of the screen,
- Poster view now uses more space and you can zoom images,
- You can swipe left and right to move to the previous / next movie,
- Tablet uses two pane view, e.g. you can see list and details on one screen (thou there is a nasty bug which prevents from using filters),
- I'm slowly preparing to work with custom attributes,
- Design is using material guidelines (more or less ),
- New font which is narrower and allows to view more info on the screen.

Also I have been thinking about theming the app, but it's in the future. Anyway I noticed that one of your themes looks like my new version
