@laith.m.y What's "Add scroll indicator" ??
@TransTech I fixed the bug. Thanks for reposting.
I can make the fade in animation a bit faster if that's really in issue
I cannot take the new logo into use before I can give the creator credit in the about page. If you can handle that then please check with him.
@TransTech The recitation icon is not square
Could you please fix that ?
Could you also prepare an icon to "Add recitation" ? It will be used to show the page that has the instructions on how to download and install a recitation.
Since recitations is the most wanted feature so far, I already started implementing it. I just need to clarify a few points:
1) No recitations will be downloaded from the application itself. The file is large and I have to resume the download when the app gets restarted and/or the phone gets disconnected... That will be hard to get right.
2) Recitations are simply installed by downloading them from
http://zekr.org/resources.html#recitation
and copying the extracted files to a specific folder (I'll give the details later). The application will then detect the new folder and present the new recitation.
3) There will be no recitations for translations. Make your own recitation (I'll give full details later) and copy the mp3 files also to a folder and it will be played by the application.
4) I guess I will not implement reading the translations with espeak. Someone (ejasmudar ?
) can write a simple application that extracts the translation text and uses espeak to generate mp3 files and install them as you do with custom recitations. I will provide all the help needed to whoever decides to write such an application but I'm really sorry guys. I cannot do it. Not enough time.
I can also provide a C++ or python class to read the text of a translation.
5) I am planning to implement reading of a single aya, a full sura and a full page. Repeating an aya can also be done.
We just need to think how the UI will behave.
Playing a single aya can be done by long pressing on an aya (Just like adding and removing bookmarks).
Playing a single sura can be done via a speaker icon in the sura header.
Where should we put an icon for playing a page ?
Where should we put an icon for repeating an aya ?
What will happen if you are playing a recitation and then you switch the page ?
I want to put an icon to stop the recitation. Where should that be ?
I'm also thinking about an idea: holding the phone upside down for a second (Display towards the floor) should stop the recitation. What do you guys think ?
What does everybody think about that ?
