This is a quick exploration into how the new Device:hasFewKeys() method could work to make things more usable on very limited devices.
In the reader, the right is repurposed to open the menu. Left in turn closes it.
The same principle is applied to ButtonDialog. This means you can select anything in principle, but once you go right you can't go back.

This makes button heights similar in all uses of ButtonTable.
It depended on how the ButtonTable was used in each widget
(previously, first and last row may have different sizes than
the others).
buttontable.lua: more even buttons height whether zero_sep or not
framecontainer.lua: added padding_top/bottom/left/right (similar to
what was done for iconbutton)
The following widgets have been adapted for this, with some
additional fixes:
buttondialog.lua
buttondialogtitle.lua: wider title with adequate padding
confirmbox.lua + multiconfirmbox.lua: dismissable via tap outside
inputdialog.lua + multiinputdialog.lua: more even vertical padding between elements
imageviewer.lua
textviewer.lua
datewidget.lua
timewidget.lua
Additionaly: frontlightwidget.lua: fixed width of progress bar that
was exceeding window width since the Size scaling adjustements
More closely matches native behavior on REAGL devices.
Closing those widgets should still trigger a partial refresh though,
because we usually get back to the reader, and text, so we want REAGL
;).
This is a larger clean-up of the refresh situation.
The general shift is that refreshes are now mainly triggered by
the (top-level) widgets when they get shown or closed via UIManager.
All refreshes for the widgets when they are in use were handled by
themselves before. This adds the case of showing/closing.
It is the desired result of not having UIManager:show()/:close()
do (full screen) refreshes on its own.
This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
colors were a mixture of 4bpp integers (0=white, 15=black) and
fractional blackness levels (0=white, 1.0=black) before. This is
now unified to use the color specification of the Blitbuffer API.
- Refactor FileDialog and HightlightDialog into ButtonDialog
- Create a new ButtonDialog when a file in the History dialog is hold,
offering an option to delete the history entry.
