With Google Drive, you can keep all your important files in one place, then open them with your choice of apps and devices. Building on this open approach, we recently made it possible to launch your favorite desktop applications directly from Google Drive. And today we’re taking it a step further by bringing Google Drive to Microsoft Office.
Using the new Google Drive plug-in, people using Office for Windows can now open their Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents stored in Drive, then save any changes back to Drive once they’re done.
If you’re working on a document, spreadsheet or presentation that’s on your computer, you can also save that file to Google Drive, directly from the Office apps. This is especially useful for sharing files with teams, or for accessing your files across devices.
With this plug-in, you can use the apps you’re already comfortable with, while benefitting from the security and convenience of Google Drive.
This example inspired by the BBC video "Trick your brain: black and white photo turns to colour! - Colour: The Spectrum of Science".
Load your photo, touch the ImageView to display the image of opposite color, look on the blue dot concentratedly for a moment, then release touch to display the black and white image. MAY BE you will be tricked with a color image. try it:)
View.OnClickListener buttonOpenOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE); intent.setType("image/*"); startActivityForResult(intent, RQS_OPEN); } };
@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == RQS_OPEN) { Uri dataUri = data.getData(); int w = imageView.getWidth(); int h = imageView.getHeight();
//hide ui control and action bar to make more space for the picture panel.setVisibility(View.GONE); getSupportActionBar().hide(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } }
private Bitmap getGrayscale(Bitmap src){
//Custom color matrix to convert to GrayScale float[] matrix = new float[]{ 0.3f, 0.59f, 0.11f, 0, 0, 0.3f, 0.59f, 0.11f, 0, 0, 0.3f, 0.59f, 0.11f, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0,};
Bitmap dest = Bitmap.createBitmap( src.getWidth(), src.getHeight(), src.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(dest); Paint paint = new Paint(); ColorMatrixColorFilter filter = new ColorMatrixColorFilter(matrix); paint.setColorFilter(filter); canvas.drawBitmap(src, 0, 0, paint);
return dest; }
private Bitmap getOpposite(Bitmap src){
int w = src.getWidth(); int h = src.getHeight();
Bitmap dest = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, src.getConfig());
for (int y = 0; y < h; y++) { for (int x = 0; x < w; x++) { int pixel = src.getPixel(x, y); int oppPixel = Color.argb( Color.alpha(pixel), 255-Color.red(pixel), 255-Color.green(pixel), 255-Color.blue(pixel)); dest.setPixel(x, y, oppPixel); } }
return dest; }
/* reference: Load scaled bitmap http://android-er.blogspot.com/2013/08/load-scaled-bitmap.html */ private Bitmap loadScaledBitmap(Uri src, int req_w, int req_h) throws FileNotFoundException {

Custom view to display a blue dot on screen, BlueDot.java

Continuing observations regarding the new HTC Sense 7.0 features its time to take a look at another very interesting aspect of the new HTC user interface - the Priority Ringtones. Priority Ringtones probably replaced the "DND" (Do Not Disturb) function as I cant find it any more in the Quick Settings menu. So how does it work?
To configure the Priority Ringtones you need use volume buttons. The volume slider UI is similar to the one known from the HTC Sense 6.0, however at the bottom of the box you can find 3 new buttons - "NONE", "PRIORITY" and "ALL". Volume settings menu after clicking the settings icon on the right part of the box looks exactly the same as in previous Sense version.
None
Using the first option - "NONE" simply means you will receive absolutely no sound notifications. Not even the alarms. In that mode your device is not allowed to give any sound. You can set this mode to be active for a particular time (15min, 30 min, 45 min, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 8h) or indefinitely, meaning it will be active as long as you disable it.
Priority
In Priority mode you can basically choose what type of events, reminders, calls or messages (and from who) are allowed to interrupt you. You can choose to receive calls or messages from everyone, contacts only or favourite contacts only. You can also configure the days the priority mode is enabled by default (from Monday till Sunday) and hours - start hour and end hour.
All
The "ALL" mode simply means you will receive every kind of notification. In this mode everything gives a sound - alarm, phone call, message, notification, reminder etc. This mode is enabled by default.
