Pop-up animation smoother now
Added bottom border to Pop-up
Added "Test Pop-up" button
Added IM+ and Beejive (Beejive will not launch through pop-up)
UPDATE: April 6 - Regular Build .31
----------------------------------------------------------
Added new option to disable pop-ups when a specific app is foreground (useful for other lock apps, ie patternlock, ultimate lock etc).
Added simple interface so that other developers can use Leave It Ons pop-ups in their applications.
It is triggered by global events:
Code:Object C1 = "Twitter Mention"; Object C2 = "My app"; ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().postGlobalEvent(0xe35ad26f8ea37dbcL, 0, 1, C1, C2);
And the major new feature, which I dont have a name for just yet, so give me your ideas
This video shows how pop-ups work, sorry for the low quality I threw it together real quick:
Mobile link:
The popups are configurable, you can set the text colour and how long you want it to display on screen. You can dismiss the popup by pressing ESC, and iufyou press SPACE it will launch the app associated with the pop-up.
Apps which are currently supported for popups:
e-mail, SMS, BBM, BBM Groups, Gmail (app), Ubertwitter, Official RIM Twitter client, Windows Live Messenger, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Beejive, IM+, Social Scope, Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook

If you have a previous version you can install over top of it.
Thanks to brianjr88 (check his stuff out here http://forums.crackberry.com/f123/3d...l-bb-s-430516/ ) for creating the animated icons for me.
And to MADBRADNYC, w_bovine, & Blacklatino for doing a little pre beta testing for me.

Yes I did a bat bull after install.
One thing I just noticed is that if I'm mid-sentence and get a bbm the popup will clear from pressing any key, eliminating the usefulness of the popup. Maybe set a key, maybe Back, to clear the popup instead of any key.

I debated with that, on the best method of dismissing the popup, still trying to decide which method to go with.03-28-10 05:21 PMLike 0 - The animated popups are sweet! I really like the animation.
I already have BerryPopup for my emails and SMS, so I only used the animated popups for BBM. It'd be cool if you could add the name of the person who BBM-ed you on the popup, and also make the transparency of the popup user customizable maybe? and I would really really love it if I could choose to make the popup stay forever until I've opened the message (instead of max. 45 seconds).
Good job anyhow!03-28-10 05:46 PMLike 0 - Looks cool man!
And I know what you mean about wishing you had that one extra api to do that one obvious thing...
Keep up the good work bro.03-28-10 05:54 PMLike 0 -
- Sweet.
I noticed there's an option to enter a registration code in the beta; is it a week trial or something?

With berry popup Leave It On should display its popup first then berry popup should come after.03-28-10 06:57 PMLike 0 - shao, i am probably thinking waaaay out of the box for this, and maybe this isnt the way you wanted this app to work...but...lets say an sms comes up...and you want to see it, maybe have a button you can push that will take you directly to the sms app so that you can view it
another was...have you thought about maybe having an option to select whether or not you want to have the actual body of the message show up on the popup? or maybe just part of the message?
i noticed that if the phone is on lock/standby, and a popup comes up, it automatically unlocks but doesnt lock back up. is this how it was designed?
ive been using this app for about 10 mins and already LOVING it
thanks!Last edited by RGunturi; 03-28-10 at 07:06 PM.
03-28-10 07:02 PMLike 0 - I like the popup the way it is really. It's quite useful and much less intrusive if I'm in the middle of something else.
The thing that makes me smile most...it now works properly while my 9700 is being charged...the backlight times out normally as it should. Happy happy!03-28-10 07:10 PMLike 0 - Maybe make it so the popup can change color as well as the text? A vibrate option would be cool too. And like has been said, the popup staying up would be cool.
One problem that I've noticed though: I keep getting an error message when I open and close the program. It says "Uncaught exception: close() called when not displayed"
No clue what it means, and there don't seem to be any problems related to it. Just wanted to let you know.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com03-28-10 07:33 PMLike 0 - Two other things: make the text size adjustable, and also, an option for how long the backlight is on after each click (rather than just a set time).
Sweet app.

Animations are awesome Brianjr1988!03-28-10 07:43 PMLike 0 - Wow, this is great. Admittedly I was skeptical whether I'd like it to do more than just be an app that controls the backlight, but I really like the popup notifications! To clarify, I loved the 1.x version and didn't think there'd be much left to add.
I perhaps wouldn't mind the ability to customize the popup position, popup size, etc at bit more but certainly am happy with it as is.
Looking forward to the next versions and release.03-28-10 08:49 PMLike 0
