Description

A widget which displays logcat records. Thiscan be used to debug android applications and widgets. It stores aselection of records.

Tapping on an individual record will display the details of afew records before that record and a few records after that recordin a full screen display.

Tapping on the title of the widget gives a list of processes andyou can select which process number you wish to select the recordsfor.

It is also possible under settings to set a level filter and asearch text filter. It is particularly useful that you can alsodefine the PID numbers of processes that you wish to ignore. Thatassists when you want to track a new process and don't know thenumber before you go into settings. hence it will exclude the morecommon processes.

Restart - clears the buffer (it stores its own buffer) and thenstarts collecting again. Refresh makes sure that the buffer isavaialble.

It has been kept narrow so that it can be used to watch addeddebug records on a home screen whilst some other function isrunning potentially in another widget on the same screen. It hasbeen used to debug the call list widget.

John's Call List Widget Beta38 APK
John Hemming
This widget was designed and written by aMember of Parliament in the UK who wanted to easily see a call liston his phone and phone directly from it without having to press alot of buttons.A beta test version of a widget that displays the call history(call log or call list), but sorted by contact or phone number.Hence there is only one entry for each contact. Contacts can bedialled by tapping the contact. This dials the last number used.Even if there are 20 calls in the call log that contact onlyappears once and once for the last call either in or out.It is designed to take up very little space on the home screen.Only the contact name appears if there is one. Otherwise the numberappears. This reduces the space needed.Green is used for outgoing calls, pink/red is for missed calls(red not responded to) and blue is used for incoming successfulcalls. The last three calls are coded on the right hand side with hfor home, w for work and m for mobile.The time is coded :23 (for 23 minutes past the hour in the pasthour), 16: (for 4pm in the last 24 hours), Thu (for Thursday in thelast week) and 04/ (for the 4th day in the month - any month - morethan a week ago. This reduces the space needed for a time.It defaults to a small size, but is best resized up so thatthere are a good few names/numbers on the list.If you dial a missed call by touching the number it reflags thecall log so that the missed call is no longer missed, but does notreduce the numbers of missed calls on the phone flag or at the topof the phone. This needs to be sorted, but is currently notsorted.It identifies separately each missed call number and flags allentries for that number, but not other numbers. Hence you can trackseparately each call that you need to redial.If you tap the right hand side it looks for contact details forthat name of contact and displays all the numbers with the optionof tapping on a number to dial that number. (It goes into thedialer rather than directly phoning).If you tap on the title "john's call list widget" it goes intoan alpha contact search with the use of the keyboard on eithersurname, firstname or both. On the right hand side of the title is"dial". Tapping on this gives the dialer. The contact searchprovides items which when tapped go into the dialler. I may changethis later to go straight to calling. The contact search gives allthe phone numbers for the contact.There are three widget versions. The original one is 2*2. Thereis also a 1*1 version which is workable, but only just, there isalso a 3*2 version which does not require such precise tapping, butobviously takes a bit more space. You can run more than one versionat the same time, but it is best to load them at the same time sothat they link properly.The 2*2 widget has been changed to have a transparentbackground. As some backgrounds may be a bit bright it is nowpossible to configure the colours used for each type of call insettings.Text messages will also be available on the basis of the lasttext message sent to or from the contact. This can be configuredfor all text messages or only the inbox and has a preferencesetting for how many days back to go (to stop lots of text messagesbeing loaded unnecessarily).Options include shake to redial or phone missed call and singletap for wifi and hotspot on and off as well as search and otherfunctions from main line. Normally tested on two columns (becausethat is what I use). Shake to redial only runs within a set periodof the last call (defaults to 3 minutes, in settings)
