Fun DropTool

2011-07-14 Thread John Craig
I've just had a first attempt at creating a custom control with the 
rather nicely engineered DropTools palette from Sons of Thunder.  It's a 
scalable android logo constructed from LC graphic objects - just a bit 
of fun!

Nice graphic!  However, there must be a problem with how Android renders LC
graphic objects because the rounded corners don't maintain the same radius
as in the IDE.  Also in the Android emulator, Mr. Android loses his head
(literally).  I'll send you an off-list screenshot.  Thanks for making this.

Works great here. I'm not having any trouble with the head resizing, btw.

Bummer!  -  I get the same as Roger - an angry looking droid with big 
eyebrows, and a missing head!  (And the odd looking radius ends)

I'm set at platform 2.2 API level 8 - is this still the current setup?

Just to rub salt in the wound, it renders perfectly on iOS!!

2011-07-14 Thread John Craig
I've discovered that the head ( an oval graphic with startAngle = 0 and 
arcAngle = 180 ) gets displayed upside down on my android simulator, so 
the head is merging in with the body.  If I change the startAngle to 180 
then the effect is reversed: no head in the IDE, but I can see it in the 
simulator.  I wonder what's different in Jacque's setup that it works - 
Any clues, Jacque??  I'll file a bug report.



John.

Uh...I suspect the main difference is that I didn't notice the problem 
was only on the simulator, so I didn't test it there. Embarrassing. 
Ignore me.

 My off-list screenshot was of platform 2.3.1 API level 9 (I think).  So,
the result was the same.  That salt burns.  Where's quality assurance when
you need 'em?  ;)
