I made an oopsie when adding the storage permissions here. The <= should just be <, so that the prompt for storage access also appears on Marshmallow devices. Thanks!

Also, you should tag 2.4.0 for F-Droid after this to make sure that the correct commit gets built. (You should start tagging releases anyway, it helps F-Droid out a bunch).

The app always starts with green colour,

Please make the chosen colour persistent, so a child can simply start it and paint in the last selected colour.

Same for the pixel size.

Because of Android is panic & pain a lot of F-Droid apps (including Acrylic Paint) moved to the F-Droid archive (1345 apps).

To understand more why:

• https://forum.f-droid.org/t/many-old-unmaintained-apps-have-been-archived/670/14
• https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/issues/323

This is not our fault, but we have to do a null commit.

F-Droid merge request pending here:

• https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/2519

You can add Screenshots for F-Droid, too, if you want.

https://gitlab.com/snippets/1895688

When closing the app with "back" the app shouldn't close immediatly but only with a double tap on it. The app should show either a toast message ("double tap to close") or a popup asking if the user wants to save his work before closing the app.

I don't see an [undo] button

The app needs an updated graphics (e.g. Holo theme or Material Design).

See .

Add a picture as a canvas over which you can draw.

In the Settings window you should put some options as:

• change the orientation of the screen from landscape to portrait and viceversa
• "Artist mode" which enables some features as changing the intensity of the color when pushing harder on the screen
• "About": the about option should be removed from the main menu and put in Settings.

I was expecting that it would be the behaviour of the blur.
But the blur tool is making blurred strokes.
It is not blurring what is under the finger.
Something like that.

It is more interesting to be able to blur existing sharp contours than having automatically blurred strokes or bold strokes.

Using a better color picker.
(From here?)

Please, could somebody go here https://openclipart.org to choose something better as "Color", "Emboss", etc?

Make a list, and vote your choice.

(Obviusly icons more sweet and cute == More perfect icons)

Currently, background images are stretched to fit the screen, making them squashed! I'd prefer proportional scaling, maybe even cropping before selecting it. Great app!

When clearing the draw, I'm surprised that the selected color is reseted. I use this soft to draw a serie of drawings (maths notation), and I always use the same color.
Thanks!

This funny title is a.k.a.:

Questions before publishing every new bug/enhancement in the bug report of the $xyz project

Is this a new bug/enhancement that you can implement / are implementing on yourself?

Yes?

People will discuss your implementation! Someone will read your work and will say: «Ehy wait, I'm already working on it! Let's merge our work!» or another will start a discussion etc.

Publish that new enhancement as a bug report: your pull request will be very appreciated!

No?

Bug reports are a discussion area and not a shopping list! The project is not so active? Nobody contribute? Instead of writing down what the software does and what the software does not (because of we know e-x-a-c-t-l-y what the software does and what the software does not) please don't insert enhancements in the bug tracker. Instead, in order of preference:

• Get that damn source code and fix it yourself! The license encourage it!!!
• Hire the maintainer, a contributor o a friend in order to do your job for you! (it's normal to pay someone to work for you.)

People behind a Free as in Freedom project usually have a life: they study, work, love, pay taxes, etc. and so they are not heroes, they don't work in the name of the public interest and so they don't work for you! So avoid this sort of funny messages:

This project is great! I use it everyday! But please add this feature! I can't implement it by myself. I love you! <3 <3 <3

Or:

This project is a shit! It worked for 3 years but now it explodes! Fix it!!11!1!

TL;DR
If you can do it... do it! (or at least try it!)
If you can't try to do it... donate or hire someone to work for you! People love beer and money.

Adding colors like black and white

For now canvas has fixed size.

When you close the about window, the app shows a blank canvas, deleting the previous work.

@valerio-bozzolan :

I can't find Acrylic Paint on the Google Play Store.

Is it available somewhere on the Google Play Store?

And if not: Could you please release it on the Google Play Store?

Regards

The function takeScreenshot() used in Save and Share takes a full screenshot including the action bar.

From Sven Jäkel:

Hi Valerio,
I have an Samsung GT-S6310n CellFon with Android 4.1.2 and the Screen Size is 320 x 480.
I think the AcrylicPaint version 2.1.4, 2.1.3, 2.1 have a Bug in
ColorPiker window and  AcrylicPaint version 2.1.4 have an other Bug in
Brushsize window. See Attachement Screen Shots.

Before I used version 1.2 of AcrylicPaint this run fine.

🆗 2.1.3 brushsize

🐛 2.1.4 brush size

🐛 2.1.3 color picker

🐛 2.1.4 color picker

I was wondering if there is a reason for not updating the build tools and the compile version. I want to be able to run the project as intended and also maybe help fix some of the bugs. However, I'm getting errors when I put the project in Android Studio until I change the build tools and compile version. I'm guessing there is a reason for not updating, but I don't know what it is or how to deal with it. Also if this is not the best way to ask let me know where would be better to ask.

I've seen this app on F-Droid, but it lacks screenshots, changelog and a translatable description there. It's pretty easy for you to add these information. Please have a look at this example or at the F-Droid docs or fastlane docs.
After you have commited these files to your repo and tagged a new version, you need to remove the Description and Summary from the metadata file in the F-Droid Data repo.

background image is distorted, aspect ratio is changed to fill the entire screen.
it should keep the aspect ratio, and fill the rest with bg-color.

or have a popup to select "want to keep aspect ratio, or fill entire screen?"

In the menu add the option "Pick a Color" which extracts a color from the canvas.

Hello,

is it possible to have a sound when drawing something? (As an option in the settings)

The app is good for kids. So some acoustic feedback would be appreciated. :)

I think that "Tux Paint" (http://www.tuxpaint.org/) offers something similar but the program is a feature-overkill compared to AcrylicPaint.

thanks

I upgraded my acrylic paint from 1.2.4 to 1.3.1 (fdroid.org build). Starting it, I see the splash screen and then my nexus 7 freezes. I cannot exit or call any other app. Jus hard power off works. Unfortunately, I cannot really get a dbug log this way. Paint 1.2.4 worked just fine.

The app isn't able to draw points as it only draws when the finger moves on the screen.

In /app/res/menu/main.xml , Android Studio 2.2.3 is giving me a "Cannot resolve symbol" error for each icon line. If I remove the plus sign, that error goes away. But the app seems to work fine with the plus signs, too. Are the plus signs just plain wrong? Or is there something going on here that I don't understand?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41647704/is-the-plus-sign-in-the-following-an-error-androidicon-drawable

can I ask the gradle Dependency for this?

When saving a picture, a dialog asking for a different filename is necessary.

Hello,
Little kids love putting fingers everywhere to draw, and sometimes they quit the application by mistake.
A full screen mode would help such problems.

Tks !

Hi, I would love to use AcrylicPaint from within my GPL3 app Geopaparazzi to do sketches when out in the field. To do so, I would need the possibility to tell acrylic paint where to save the image once done.

So short question: is that currently possible? Thanks for any answer.
Nice nice app :-)

I'd like to start working on the undo feature (issue #37). Since the possibility of crashing is mentioned in that issue's discussion, I'd feel more comfortable if we had some sort of testing procedure; something more formal than just running it on my phone and hoping it doesn't crash. I think setting up a bunch of unit tests might be the solution - since unit tests are usually run in an automated way, I think I could probably set up a bunch of emulators representing different types of devices, then run the unit tests on each emulator automatically.

I don't know if running tests like that is actually possible with the Android SDK & emulators, nor do I know how to create unit tests for an Android app.

Thoughts?

I need to add android { lintOptions { abortOnError false } } to the build.gradle. However, setting abortOnError should only be disabled, if there is no other way and even if so, it should be controlled by upstream, since you know best, when the error requiring this are fixed.

So, either fix the lint issues or unset abortOnError for now.

In my phone the app doesn't work in all screen, if i draw in the lower part of the screen the picture not show

When a work in progress is shared through acrylic paint v2.2.1, the app force stops.

I use a marshmallow v6.0 android device.

The app needs an option in "Settings" for enabling the landscape mode.
When enabled, the app should ask the user to save the work done before swithing to landscape mode.

The app crashes when trying to use more then five fingers at a time.

Somebody noticed that if you create some artwoks in a single minute, the last artwork overwrite the others.

Stupid fix: specify also the seconds.

In the meanwhile... please port the scalpel package from GNU/Linux distros to Android in order to recover your wonderful artworks!

can you please add changelog.
what is CHANGELOG ?

It is impossible to switch back to the normal brush after selecting some other brushes as blur, bold or erase.

An user has warned about these Lint errors:

They are quite easy to fix I think.

Hi,

Strangely these colors are not available on the colour palette (or am I being stupid?)

Thanks,
