Requirements

You will need the following:

  • A pair of ActiveLook® glasses
  • Android Studio
  • An android phone/watch with BLE

Known supported Devices :

File to create and add at the root : .env

First, you need to add a file called '.env' at the source of the project. This file will contain only 2 lines :

ACTIVELOOK_SDK_TOKEN = ""
ACTIVELOOK_CFG_PASSWORD = 0xDEADBEEF

Main files to modify

The name of the app is defined in the strings.xml file.

  • app\src\main\res\layout\content_scrolling.xml
  • app\src\main\res\values\strings.xml
  • app\src\main\java\com\fontsize\demo\MainActivity.java

In order to get the best performances, the ActiveLookSDK directory should be the latest release from : https://github.com/ActiveLook/android-sdk

detailed description of this Android application

By using the 2 seekbars you vary the font size from 10 to 32 pixels and the space between 2 lines between 0 an 9 pixels.

For the text, 3 languages are available : French, English and Swedish to test the languages specific characters.

The fonts used are in the file : app\src\main\assets\fonts8.txt

This file is generated under Windows with the python script from : https://github.com/ActiveLook/Config-Generator

I have modified :

  • ALookCom\fontAdd : replaced with the one found here in : ALookCom\fontAdd_fr
  • cfgDescriptor\manyFonts directory : new config files

The text to be shown in the glasses need to be treated by a function inluded in app\src\main\java\com\fontsize\demo\MainActivity.java :

    public static String international_accent(String text) {
        text = text.replaceAll("Ă","A");
        text = text.replaceAll("Ā","A");
        text = text.replaceAll("Ė","E");
        text = text.replaceAll("Ē","E");
        text = text.replaceAll("Ī","I");
            . . . . .
        text = text.replaceAll("]",")");
        text = text.replaceAll("\\{","(");
        text = text.replaceAll("\\}",")");
        text = text.replaceAll("œ","oe");
        text = text.replaceAll("æ","ae");
        text = text.replaceAll(String.valueOf((char) 0xA0)," "); // Non-breaking space
 
        text = text.replaceAll("á",String.valueOf((char) 2));
        text = text.replaceAll("à",String.valueOf((char) 3));
        text = text.replaceAll("â",String.valueOf((char) 4));
        text = text.replaceAll("ä",String.valueOf((char) 5));
        text = text.replaceAll("ã",String.valueOf((char) 6));
        text = text.replaceAll("å",String.valueOf((char) 7));
        text = text.replaceAll("é",String.valueOf((char) 8));
        text = text.replaceAll("è",String.valueOf((char) 9));
        text = text.replaceAll("ê",String.valueOf((char) 11));
        text = text.replaceAll("ë",String.valueOf((char) 12));
            . . . . .
        text = text.replaceAll("ç",String.valueOf((char) 30));
        text = text.replaceAll("ñ",String.valueOf((char) 31));
        text = text.replaceAll("č",String.valueOf((char) 35)); // #
        text = text.replaceAll("ć",String.valueOf((char) 35)); // #
        text = text.replaceAll("đ",String.valueOf((char) 91)); // [
        text = text.replaceAll("š",String.valueOf(
                (char) 92)+String.valueOf((char) 92)); // \
        text = text.replaceAll("ž",String.valueOf((char) 93)); // ]
        text = text.replaceAll("ą",String.valueOf((char) 94)); // ^
        text = text.replaceAll("ę",String.valueOf((char) 95)); // _
        text = text.replaceAll("ş",String.valueOf((char) 96)); // `
        text = text.replaceAll("ł",String.valueOf((char) 123)); // {
        text = text.replaceAll("ß",String.valueOf((char) 124)); // |
        text = text.replaceAll("€",String.valueOf((char) 125)); // }
        text = text.replaceAll("£",String.valueOf((char) 126)); // ~
        return text;
}

If you want to use a different font or different sizes, do not hezitate to change the config.json file.
