Taskbar puts a start menu and recent apps tray on top of your screen that's accessible at any time

1. Use Android Studio tool to convert test code to kotlin.
2. Fix null checking error, just adding !! and remove some ?.
3. Fix incompatibility of type between Int and Long in assert.

Test: ./gradlew test

I have android 7.1.2 on several TX92 TV PCs. If Taskbar is the default launcher and loaded at startup, wallpaper will occupy the right two-thirds of the screen, only. If Nova Launcher is opened, then closed, wallpaper will properly align with the entire screen.

When using Nova Launcher as the default launcher and loaded at startup, wallpaper corrects as soon as Nova Launcher loads.

This may indicate maintenance needed by Taskbar when it loads as default launcher. Other launchers were tried and they also correct the wallpaper position.

Hello,

I am trying to build s-x86 iso with packages/apps/Taskbar checked out at commit 4652f142731bae59cd9f23c3292a98ed7084a455 I get the following building errors, I saw https://github.com/farmerbb/Taskbar/issues/225, which means some other people were able to build, but could you please help me to complete the build?

Thank you

Mauro Rossi android-x86 team

ROM: LineageOS 17.1 with Android 10 Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e when the Taskbar is set as default launcher, some times running/opening apps by tapping on them causes an abrupt quick system reboot. some apps are running in fullscreen yet some others are restricted by taskbar (dock). i don't know but may be switching between them is the reason of this crash.

I have found this app both useful and innovative. I have a couple of requests:

1. Shortcut to Open: It looks like you recently changed the function of the "Freeform Mode" shortcut. In the past it used to open the taskbar. Now, however, it appears to toggle the freeform mode without opening the taskbar. This change makes perfect sense, but it removes a workaround I used to open taskbar from Tasker or other modes (fingerprint, gesture, etc). Could you please add a widget/shortcut/activity to open taskbar? With this, I could restore the function I had before.

2. Tasker Integration: Could you add Tasker integration? This would make alternative opening even easier. In addition to a simple open, you may want to add other actions, such as freeform mode, etc.

3. Specific Placement: I believe this request is already on this list (#25), so consider this a "second." I would like to be able to alter the placement of the collapsed taskbar beyond the options now available, each corner, horizontal or vertical. Each corner is already a common place for some other UI action, so I find myself opening taskbar when I really want the other action, or vice versa. If I could offset taskbar a little, both x and y, I could find a place for it that would interfere less with the other stock actions.

Thank you!

With Taskbar set to be the home screen, the freeform mode works fine, tested with the built-in Calculator app and one of my book samples. With Taskbar in normal mode, activities do not launch in freeform mode, tested using those same activities, both before and after reboots, from the system home screen. This is on a Nexus 9 running NRD91D (7.0 with October security fixes), from a copy of Taskbar compiled from the master branch.

Any info you want me to collect?

I know this isn't a good place to ask something but I found no means to contact you. Sorry.

I'm working on a responsive launcher app. I want to make it compatible with android 10 desktop mode. I saw your taskbar app doing a great job. So I wanted to know that what steps to be followed in order to get it working.

I want the launcher in the primary display as phone UI and in the secondary display as desktop UI, just like dex. Do I need to use Screen Manager API or Presentation API or something else. I'm creating this in Flutter and any help in this domain will be highly appreciated but if you could help me in native android, then also it's fine, I will try to create a native platform channel.

Thanks in advance.

Selecting robolectric as unit test library to test UI on JVM. We use the robolectric version 4.3.1, that supports to latest Android Q(final). But it requires Java 9 to run the tests, so to avoid this problem, we assign the sdk to 28 in robolectric.properties for almost all tests, and leaving Android 10 specific features left to ease the usage of robolectric.

Now we add a test example for U.java getTaskbarPosition function.

For check the tests result, we can execute ./gradlew test on the top code directory, or use ctrl + shift + F10 in test file to execute unit test in Android Studio.

For robolectric Java 9 discussion, we can see the link SO Does Robolectric require Java 9?

@farmerbb Taskbar is a large app now, maybe we should integrate tests to ensure app function. And unit test is a good start.

4.0.2 can create one app multiple window, 4.0.3 can't. I like taskbar app because it can create one app multiple window, i used this function three years.

CM13, Nexus 5X, F-Droid APK. Sometimes the taskbar crashes with a force stop message, usually when I rotate to landscape. Sometimes the icon tensions, only to disappear on a second portrait and landscape.

Bump Robolectric to latest 4.7.3.

I don't bump SDK to 31 for Robolectric, because there are some failed tests when running with SDK 31. Looks like there are some API changes from SDK 31, used by tests. When I have time, I will try to fix it.

Hi I can imagine that with so many requests for features and bug fixes that its impossible to do everything, perhaps introducing a premium version or donation version on the app store would help? Anyone that would be willing like me to donate a few dollars to help with development of more features add a +1

Hi, loving taskbar such a good app, I have one of samsungs foldable phones and replaced the samsung taskbar with this as is alot better.

The problem I have is that using the Start Button and Having the clock when folded gives me loads of space for switching tasks when unfolded using the big screen, but when the phone is folded using the very narrow screen I literally have enough space to see one app button, rendering the taskbar pretty useless.

Having different settings for folded vs unfolded would be a big help,

I hope this is something you can consider, keep up the good work :-)

The taskbar is annoying if you're trying to look for bottom or one-handed button or shortcuts or you just want to open the search bar in your launcher this block anything from the bottom that is reachable at the bottom this would be useful for people if they really needed to access bottom information such as twitter icon or clicking the message box in messaging app such as telegram or discord

An anonymous inner class will hold a reference to the this pointer of the outer class and will not be released until the thread ends. It will hold the Activity and prevent its timely release.

com.farmerbb.taskbar.activity.PersistentShortcutSelectAppActivity :  onProgressChanged(...)
com.farmerbb.taskbar.activity.BackupRestoreActivity: void onCreate()

Besides, the while loop in the child thread should check the interrupt status of the thread, and the activity should interrupt the thread to end unnecessary loop execution before destroying it. The anonymous thread can be replaced by static class to eliminate unnecessary references.

I'm using a tab s8+ and prefer taskbar to dex mode.

I do wish minimizing floating apps was done better so that the icons don't just live on screen.

Also, Please add a tuck window for up to 3 or 4 apps so they don't float on screen while not in use. Similar to slide over by iPad is where apps can be tucked to edge and a gesture brings them up but they are still active.

Mostly for social media, email. Calendar and notes.

OneUI has the popup widget function and that's useful.

If they added the ability to dock popup windows like they do the widgets that would be the idea.
