Work Ongoing on Pinch Zoom for Xperia X10

Even though the focus of this blog at this point is mostly on the Android 2.1 update of the X10 family I have something else I would like to share with you.
There has also been lots of rumors around this and I just want to clarify what we're working on and what to expect.
(I will continue posting information on the current SW-update roll-out after this!)
As many of you know, just before the release of the Xperia X10 we saw lots of discussions around any potential support for multi touch.
Myself and Sumit were then very clear on the fact that there were no plans of having X10 supporting multi touch and said so here on this blog mainly to not have you guys hoping for things that just wasn't planned.
Since then, because of the huge reaction to this and the real desire for multi touch expressed by you the users, there has been lots of investigations going on and I now have some good news to disclose. We aim to enable multi touch (pinch zoom) in an over-the-air update for the X10. The timing for this update is still a bit work in progress but it will for most markets be during Q1 next year.
What has happened is that some brilliant engineers actually was able to change the driver and firmware for the touch digitizer to make some multi touch gestures work. We are still working on perfecting the user experience and I will keep you updated as work progresses.
I also want to be clear on what to expect from this feature. The digitizer in the X10 is not perfect when it comes to multi touch, there will as an example be situations like when the movement of the two fingers cross each other on the X- or Y-axis that could cause strange behavior. (There has been much online debating around what is "good" and "bad" Multi Touch in competitor phones and this is following the same lines.)
Therefore we also will not enable it everywhere but the current plan is to enable it for the following use-cases:
- Pinch/Zoom in the web browser.
- Pinch/Zoom in Google Maps.
Besides that there is also support in third party applications but because of the limitations on e.g. crossing axis there might be situations where it behaves strangely while it will work just fine for most use-cases.
The support is basically for gestures like pinch/zoom so don't expect e.g. multi touch gaming with buttons pressed simultaneously on different parts of the screen to work.
Let me know if you have specific multi touch enabled apps you want me to test!
Below is a video where I show some of the use-cases and what to expect on a prototype SW in my X10.

How to complete a task via email using Reply-to-Complete

In LiveCycle Process Management, it is possible to complete a task via email. Traditionally a user would receive an email with the form as an attachment. They would open the form and submit the data back to LiveCycle.
You can refer to the following blog on how to set that up:
http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/?p=309
But since ES2, you can also participate via email using a technique we like to refer as Reply to Complete.
This technique allows you to put links in the body of the email to complete a task. The attachment (if there is an attachment) is only there for reference. When a user clicks on the link, an email is sent back to LiveCycle to complete the task.  The encoded data in the DO-NOT-DELETE section is used to complete the task.

Now let's see how we can get that to work.
1)      Configure the SMTP settings for LiveCyle
We need to make sure LiveCycle is configured to send and receive emails. Refer to the "Configure the SMTP settings for the LiveCycle server" and “Add an email endpoint to the Complete Task service” section from the blog referenced above.
2)      Configure the email templates
We need to configure the email templates so they contain the links for the different actions.
The actions are the ones specified in the Action tab from the User activity.

There are two ways we can configure the email notification templates:
  1. From adminui
It's possible to configure the email template for all tasks (all User activity) using adminui. Go under Services/LiveCycle Process Management ES2/Server Settings/Task Notifications. Then select Task Assignment in the Notification Type section and check the Enable Task Assignment option in the Task Assignment section.
You'll notice the notification template becomes available with predefined text. Now just drag and drop the Actions variable from the Variable Picker section. The template will then contain @@actions@@.
This is going to get replaced at run time with the list of actions coming from the User Actions property from the User activity.
  1. From the User activity
It's also possible to configure the notification templates for each user activity by modifying the Custom Email Templates property of the User activity.
In the drop, make sure to select Task Assignment. Then, select Customize. If you select “Use Server Default”, it'll use the template configured in adminui.
When you click on “Edit Email Template”, you can create the email notification template. If you click on @@, you'll be able to add some predefined variables that will be replaced a runtime. Again select Actions to add the list of actions in the body of your email.
When a user receives the email, they can click on the link to generate a response. The new email will contain the name of the chosen action with the DO-NOT-DELETE section.
As the name says, do not delete the DO-NOT-DELETE section as it contains valuable information (like task id) for LiveCycle to complete the task.
You could also just hit reply on that email and enter either the name of the action (Approve) or the number it corresponds to (1) for LiveCycle to complete the task. This is what people need to do when using a BlackBerry since the email just comes as plain text and the links won't work .
1)      Configure the User activity
The User activity contains a setting that's enabled by default that will prevent the task completion.
Make sure the "Must open the form to complete the task" is NOT checked. Since we are completing the task via email, we don't want to force the user to open the form.

This is all that should be needed to complete task via email using Reply To Complete.
