Version 1.9.0-241-dev - "work in progress", not in Google Play

Synchronization of contact pictures does not work.
If before, I do a sync with my phone software, I see pictures of contacts, and also sees Aquamail them.

What contact pictures? In an Exchange account?

For contact pictures, Aqua Mail needs Exchange 2010 or newer, I suspect your Exchange server is an earlier version.

Feel free to capture Aqua Mail's "contact sync" process in the app's debug log (the link is in my signature, below) and send to kmansoft / at / gmail.

After Android 7, I want to see only the pictures of the action keys in the lock screen message notifications. How can I do it?

Icons of the "mark read" and so on?

You can't, Google removed icons on those action buttons in 7.

Just text from now on, until their designers decide to change it back in Android 14 I suppose.

Yes, I know, Google changed a lot of things about Google TV and the standard Android "action bar" doesn't work anymore.

re: Build 232: Message auto-fit was broken, fixed; Added setting for "message list divider color".

Thanks for this. I disabled auto-fit following a recent update as it was unreliable in certain orientations.

Unfortunately, stretched images resurfaced on another device (7" 320 DPI) in portrait orientation as evidenced by attached screen grabs. Not a big deal; I'll just go with auto-fit off.

This not related to the "broken" and "then fixed" auto-fit, at least I don't think it is.

We could investigate if you sent a sample as an .eml attachment (or the message's complete actual source code) to support / aqua-mail.

Is there a fix? Or, in the start view directly to import settings?

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Re: Is there a fix? Or, in the start view directly to import settings?

Sorry there isn't, at least for now.

Basically, at some point Google decide that TV apps should not look like tablet apps, and broke compatibility.

It *may* be fixed in 1.9, but I'm not completely sure,.

I don't see the hamburger menu in your screenshot...

[srt10coupe]

Yes, hamburger menu is in "Talon for Twitter".

I have a workaround for import setting and accounts. (Setup Account -> send the backup file via email -> open and import .
But the message view don't have the menu at bottom "reply, forward,..."

It means the TV's Android code tells Aqua Mail that "there is some other way to bring up the menu".

Maybe something on the remote control? But I don't really know.

The official docs say this:

https://developer.android.com/training/tv/start/layouts.html

ActionBar - While this user interface convention is recommended for use on phones and tablets, it is not appropriate for a TV interface. In particular, using an action bar options menu (or any pull-down menu for that matter) is strongly discouraged, due to the difficulty in navigating such a menu with a remote control.

ActionBar is that "thick color area along the top with the app name and icons and three dots on the right" (which is missing for you).

So basically Google wants everyone to build custom UI's of their apps, that don't look like those on tablets / phones. This isn't something we have time to do right now.

[srt10coupe]

Thx, I test further...

And one more thing about Android TV:

I don't have a real one, and the emulator (which I've just now tried to use) seems to lock up -- I can't even run the TV's Settings app.
