Hi, I'm trying to get my Gingerbread status bar to move to the bottom of the screen. But the framework is different in GB, and I'm quite lost.. The idea is to quickly access status-bar-added soft buttons on a hard- button-less device.
I've read the source code for hours, and found a few intersting lines, but havent found anything conclusive. I've yet managed to move the bar to the bottom, by changing the systemUI's gravity to BOTTOM (statusbarservice.java). That works ok, but of course, nothing else does. By that, I mean the rest of the screen isn't working. I can see the background image, but all other elements are missing. So it seems the architecture is built around the idea that the status bar is at the top of the screen. I'm not hoping for anyone to hold my hand throughout the process of changing my framework, but if some generous mind could give me a few clues as to how to proceed. Maybe a few hints about which file will require my attention. And maybe a general explanation of how the system is built around the bar.. Anything will help, after so many hours of reading, I'm starting to get dizzy. I sure hope you understand that I'm willing to take the time to learn, but a little shortcut never hurt anyone. -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
