Is there a "popup list maker" or similar?

I want to do a small menu for my WM6.5 MULTIplugin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523015
I imagined something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...that is supose to show 4 options.
I tried it with many softwares and also mortscript and was able to go as far as this:
But is ugly compared to the original idea... IS there some sort of application like a menu, even if it doesnt allow skinning, but at least that looks like a system message window?
---edit---
Already tried Mortbuttons, FingerMenu and launcher.

Do yourself a favour and learn some .NET programming. Then you can do this yourself in C# or even VB.Net.

As a webdesigner I already taught myself to code in BATCH files, HTML/XML, AS2 (Flash) and recently Mortscript... I could do more if I had any programming bases, but that and my love for Math is the reason why I chosed arts...
It seems simple enough to do, and with a little INI file it could be easy to change, but I simply dont know how to do it and it would time some time to get that done in a new language.

Also tried FLOATME:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282913
...to see if I could change the size if the mortscript menu, and so make it float, but no luck...

I found this great application:
http://www.saman-cz.com/ppc/nmnovrw.html
And it may work for what I want, It just needs to be much bigger:
Is there any way to change this without messing up the rest of the system messages?
I remenbered that I can do that with FingerMenu, that I can enable and disable after use, but its a little buggy on some machines still and the disable sometimes fails and its more 300kb just for that effect... :/

Just to post in the current status, I found this great menu kvvQuickMenu:
http://kvv.my1.ru/load/6-1-0-43
..and I'm having some bugs still, but I believe its on a good path.
For the record, I also found FSMenu:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=112228
...but its only in russian...

Can you PM me some good C++ and VB.Net and C# programming applications to do some programming? I want to learn on my own but I need some suggestions for the best programs for this.

I think this app is way cool.
i am looking at making a mockup now for The Mortifier.

Tip for an on-screen keyboard only with directional arrows?

Hi everyone, I bought Samsung Epix, which is a wonderful device, except that the optical joystick/touchpad sucks.
So, I wanted to ask if you know about software keyboard that would contain only directional arrows (as for example navigating a word or two back is a catastrophe - the touchpad reacts with delay, and it takes a lot of attempts to put the cursor where I wanted - and using it in mouse mode to click between two concrete letters is a pain too).
I created a mockup of what I would like - is there existing keyboard like this, or some lightweight skinnable one for which I could make an arrows-only skin?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you!

Great idea, but it doesn't exist because the Epix and the Saga are the only phones that really need this.

FingerKeyboard skin
Some time ago, when I used FingerKeyboard 2.0, I wanted this same thing and did it by "cheating." Make made layout in another language and put only the four arrow keys that layout. If you use FingerKeyboard, doing this isn't diffficult as the skins are just text files.
If you'd like me to dig through my old files, I can look for my skin, However, I have a lot lined up as work this week and probably won't get to it until Friday.

Thanks, that shouldn't be necessary - just a tip for a concrete configurable SIP and the 'custom language' trick is enough, thank you!

does it require a data connection?

In the permissions, It states "Full Internet Access" as one of the requirments. So I'm sure it needs a constant data connection while you're using it.

I'm more than happy to try this out and see if I can help, but would you mind talking about what translation engine is powering this? Are you aware of it's accuracy? Some of these type of apps suck and will lead people astray.
TIA.

It looks really nice, but isn't this basically the same as Google Translate?

tried it without data connection and it still works.

Uninstalled it after 5 minutes.
I understand that the point of a "Lite" version is that it doesn't come with a complete feature set compared to the version that's for sale. That's fair enough.
However, the way to find out what it will translate and what it won't is not trial and error. The Lite version should indicate clearly what it's prepared to translate, either by graying out the unavailable choices or not displaying them at all. Had I tried to use this in an actual translation situation instead of at home, it could have caused a lot of embarrassment at the very least.
Also, if it had a way to use your voice to input phrases instead of digging through a situational dictionary, it was not apparent how to activate it.

This would be even better if it had Spanish.

works like charm on desire Z

Thanks for the info

this app is good concept but a bit heavy
so keep crashing
also if lite version doesnt support a feature should be grayed instead of exception

[APP] Hotstrings - NEEDS testers or should I continue making this?

OK so this is a sort of experimental app that needs some testers. It's not in play yet but the apk is attached to the bottom of the OP. I'm just curious how many people would find something like this useful and wonder if I should carry on making it or just abandon it. Basically the app works as a sort of shortcut for frequently typed phrases or whatever that you may constantly type out that you may not want to. So you create a keyword and a string of text associated with that keyword. You can now cycle through keywords via the widget or the app itself and click on the keyword and have the associated text copied to clipboard for easy pasting wherever you may want
widget usage:
- Click left/right arrows to cycle database
- Click keyword/string to copy to clipboard

Would you mind explaining it a little better?
[Sry my native language isn't english]

I didn't get it. What exactly does it do?

That link will give you an idea of what they are. I think what needs to happen for this to be worthwhile is a needs a custom kb to work with since you are unable to interact with these keywords in other apps(hence the clipboard). With a keyboard I could have a keyword for a really long bit of a text and I just type the keyword out and it will autoreplace with the associating string saving you time.

Basically, you create short texts that expand to the full phrase/sentence you like. The only similar app I found was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agileapps.autocorrecteditor&feature=search_result which has fairly negative reviews and still has 500-1000 downloads. I expect this is about the size of audience the hotstrings app would get, perhaps slightly more if it is rated more positively.

Hi I know this is old but I'm looking for something like this! I had this option on my iPhone way back when, it's the only thing I miss about it. I use the Swype keyboard so I don't know if that will conflict with your app but it's worth a shot! The link seems to be down, is there any way I could get this apk to try out?

What is most important about a keyboard?

Hello ,everyone!
I am recently engaged with keyboard .I wonder what is most important about a keyboard to most users.
Would you please kindly share your precious opinion with us?Thank you very much!

Main thing it is usability, example real PC keyboard - good -phone screen keyboard - suxx.

Depends per example, I use fleksy cause I like the custom themes (that you can make) and because of ther size and it just types nice

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also sometimes switch to swiftkey. swiftkey also has themes but you can not edit them yourself but it does feature swype and quit good predictions

Prediction!

Thank you for your detailed reply!

No problem, I am here to help.

For me, ideal english keyboard has numbers above letters for quick access. That's probably all I'm missing in standart Android keyboard.
But if you are thinking in non English world also, there is space for improvement in autocorrect (for example default android keyboard tries to correct every word it doesn't know, which makes autocorrect totaly useless in my language). Also it's really annoying to write special characters (for example á,š,č...), because you have to press letter, wait for a second and than choose from a sub menu. That's actually quite a big delay because you normally have to write many of these characters.
I hope it helps you somehow and sorry for my English.

For me is Accuracy and Predictions.
