sebras | Robin_Watts: thanks for the tip about blame -w... those whitespace patches have always annoyed me. | 01:03.22 |
Robin_Watts | sebras: I missed you earlier... | 01:05.47 |
| One idea is to expose the C interface as much as possible in java. | 01:06.13 |
| It's a moderate amount of work, and it's android only, but it would be very useful to java programmers. | 01:06.33 |
sebras | but only the parts in external.h I guess? | 01:07.32 |
| as usual. | 01:07.46 |
| Robin_Watts: are there customers asking for this, or is this more to cater for small-time app devs who just want a PDFView object in their app? | 01:08.42 |
Robin_Watts | sebras: It's not customer driven at this stage. | 01:09.01 |
| I reckon that potential users of the library fall into 3 categories. | 01:09.41 |
| 1) Those that want to farm out to an external PDF viewer. That's what our demo is now. | 01:09.59 |
sebras | right. | 01:10.06 |
Robin_Watts | 2) Those that want a 'PDFView' - a viewer embedded in their own app, but basically they want it potted so they don't need to code much. | 01:10.29 |
sebras | potted? | 01:10.45 |
| as in plants? | 01:11.03 |
Robin_Watts | potted. All nicely wrapped up. | 01:11.03 |
sebras | right. | 01:11.06 |
Robin_Watts | 3) Those that want to do more complex things, like move pages about, add annotations etc. | 01:11.14 |
| For them, they probably want most of the library, but accessable through java. | 01:11.35 |
sebras | are there devs that want to do 3) in android today? | 01:11.36 |
Robin_Watts | I suspect so, but we have no customer requests for it as yet. | 01:11.54 |
sebras | I have always assumed that those were non-android, but maybe I'm wrong. | 01:12.01 |
Robin_Watts | I suspect it's one of those "if you build it, they will come" things, but that's just supposition. | 01:12.17 |
sebras | re-ordering pages is luckily rather simple. | 01:13.13 |
Robin_Watts | but... bedtime for me. | 01:13.17 |
sebras | adding annotations is not. | 01:13.26 |
Robin_Watts | sebras: Yeah, also having the library as java it means people can implement their own funky viewers etc. | 01:13.45 |
| 2 up, etc. | 01:13.55 |
sebras | ok. then I _really_ ought to go to bed, since you are +00 and I'm +01... | 01:14.03 |
| right. | 01:14.05 |
| oki, see you tomorrow then! | 01:14.14 |
Robin_Watts | night | 01:17.32 |
JakeSays | would anybody happen to know how to convert an embedded ttf font in to a webfont? | 22:33.06 |
| Forward 1 day (to 2013/01/14)>>> | |
