<h1><a name="Frequently_Asked_Questions"></a>Frequently Asked Questions<a class="section_anchor" href="#Frequently_Asked_Questions"></a></h1><h2><a name="Export_to_Evernote_Does_Not_Work"></a>Export to Evernote Does Not Work<a class="section_anchor" href="#Export_to_Evernote_Does_Not_Work"></a></h2><p>Exporting to Evernote uses the Evernote android app to handle your login data and upload notes. If you have not yet installed the Evernote app you can <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.evernote" rel="nofollow">download it from the Android market</a>. </p><h2><a name="Delete_a_Notebook"></a>Delete a Notebook<a class="section_anchor" href="#Delete_a_Notebook"></a></h2><p>To delete a notebook, long-press on the notebook and select <strong>delete</strong>. </p><p>In more detail: </p><ul><li>From the main screen, press the Quill icon on the top left to go to the page overview. </li><li>Select <strong>Switch notebook</strong>. </li><li>In the list all notebooks, touch and hold the notebook you want to delete. </li><li>Press the <strong>Delete</strong> button. </li><li>Confirm with <strong>Yes</strong> that you really want to delete the notebook. </li></ul><h2><a name="Delete_a_Tag"></a>Delete a Tag<a class="section_anchor" href="#Delete_a_Tag"></a></h2><p>First, note that unused tags are deleted automatically after a while. If you can't wait (or don't want to remove the tag from all pages where it is used) you can explicitly delete a tag from the tag screen by long-pressing the tag and clearing the tag name. </p><p>In more detail: </p><ul><li>From the main screen, press the <strong>Tags</strong> button on the top left to go to the tags screen. </li><li>In the vertical column on the left, touch and hold the tag that you want to delete. </li><li>The <i>Edit tag</i> dialog appears; Erase the tag name. </li><li>Press <strong>OK</strong> to confirm. </li></ul><h2><a name="Restore_a_Notebook_Backup"></a>Restore a Notebook Backup<a class="section_anchor" href="#Restore_a_Notebook_Backup"></a></h2><p>Go to <strong>Settings</strong> -&gt; <strong>Restore backup</strong>. The .quill file must be in the root directory of the internal "sdcard" / external (actual) sdcard. Need to write a file browser some day ;-) </p><h2><a name="Not_Downloading_from_Market"></a>Not Downloading from Market<a class="section_anchor" href="#Not_Downloading_from_Market"></a></h2><p>Since I am not operating the Android Market, there is unfortunately little I can do. However, so far any problems with downloads have resolved themselves very quickly. Usually the download starts immediately, but if it doesn't then give it a day or so. </p><p>Here is a workaround that sometimes helps: </p><ul><li>Go to the Android market </li><li>Go to "My Apps" </li><li>Under the apps list, there should be Quill under "Not installed". </li><li>Manually click on install! </li></ul><p>If this does not fix your issue then you might want to contact the <a href="http://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/request.py?hl=en&amp;policy=apps&amp;contact_type=contact_policy" rel="nofollow">Android market support</a> directly. </p><h2><a name="Input_Preferences_are_Grayed_Out_and_Unselectable"></a>Input Preferences are Grayed Out and Unselectable<a class="section_anchor" href="#Input_Preferences_are_Grayed_Out_and_Unselectable"></a></h2><p>Some input preferences are only available if your Android device has hardware pen support. See <a href="StylusSupport.html">Stylus support</a> for details about different stylus technologies that are supported in Quill. Only devices with hardware stylus support is can distinguish pen and finger input. This is why <strong>Pen Input Mode</strong> and gestures are grayed out in devices without such hardware support. </p>

Note that this requires an active digitizer to register the pen pressure (ThinkPad Tablet, HTC Flyer, HTC Jetstream). If you have a capacitive pen (round, thick tip) then there is no pressure sensor and, sadly, the line thickness will not vary. </p><p>Gestures (may be disabled in the settings): </p><ul><li>Double tap switches between full screen and full width. The first double tap switches to full screen. Subsequent double taps toggle between full width and full screen. </li><ul><li>Full screen lets you see the whole page. </li><li>Full width fills the whole width of the screen. </li></ul><li><strong>Two-finger gesture</strong>: If you touch the screen with two fingers that are <strong>at least half of the screen width apart</strong>, then you can move the paper without disturbing the current zoom setting. </li></ul><h4><a name="Pencil"></a>Pencil<a class="section_anchor" href="#Pencil"></a></h4><p>This pen writes with constant thickness, ignoring the pressure. </p><p>Gestures are the same as in the <a href="Manual.html#Fountain_Pen">Fountain Pen</a> mode described above. </p><h4><a name="Move_/_Zoom"></a>Move / Zoom<a class="section_anchor" href="#Move_/_Zoom"></a></h4><p>This lets you move around and freely zoom into the screen. There is no difference between finger touches and pen input: </p><ul><li>If you touch the screen with a single finger, you can drag the paper around. </li><li>Two fingers let you pinch-to-zoom: as you vary the distance between the fingers you can zoom in and out of the paper. This is similar to the Google Maps application, just with paper instead of a map. </li></ul><h4><a name="Erase"></a>Erase<a class="section_anchor" href="#Erase"></a></h4><p>Anything you touch on screen disappears. No distinction is made between finger and pen input. If you delete something accidentally, use the <a href="Manual.html#Undo">Undo</a> button to bring it back. </p><h4><a name="Previous_page"></a>Previous page<a class="section_anchor" href="#Previous_page"></a></h4><p>Switch to the previous page matching the tag filter. </p><h4><a name="Next_page"></a>Next page<a class="section_anchor" href="#Next_page"></a></h4><p>Switch to the next page matching the tag filter.

To insert a new image, simply draw a rectangle. The empty rectangle will be shown in green outlines while you draw it. When you let go of the pen, the image selection screen appears and lets you take a photo or pick an existing image. </p><p>To move / resize an existing image, drag the red corner control points to the desired location. </p><p>To change an existing image to a different image, drag the image to the "Gears" icon at the bottom left. </p><p>To erase an existing image, drag the image to the "trashcan" icon at the bottom right. </p><h4><a name="Pen_history"></a>Pen history<a class="section_anchor" href="#Pen_history"></a></h4><p>The last 10 different pen/color/tickness combinations are remembered. You can cycle through them by repeatedly touching the currently active pen style, or by directly picking one from the history. </p><p>Currently there is no way to customize the pen style history. Just use the pen styles that you like and the last 10 will be in the history. </p><h2><a name="Tags"></a>Tags<a class="section_anchor" href="#Tags"></a></h2><p>Each page can be marked by tags. The tags will be shown in fine print on the bottom right of the screen (but do not appear if you export the page). </p><h2><a name="Thumbnail_Overview"></a>Thumbnail Overview<a class="section_anchor" href="#Thumbnail_Overview"></a></h2><p>You can restrict the yourself to a subset of the pages of the notebook by selecting tags in the left column.

<h1><a name="Explanation_of_Requested_Permissions"></a>Explanation of Requested Permissions<a class="section_anchor" href="#Explanation_of_Requested_Permissions"></a></h1><p>I'm of course trying to use the minimal amount of permissions, but not at the expense of safety or user friendliness. Having said that, here is the list of permissions that the Quill APK requests in order to function. </p><h2><a name="Full_Internet_Access"></a>Full Internet Access<a class="section_anchor" href="#Full_Internet_Access"></a></h2><ul><li>Market description: <i>Allows the app to create network sockets.</i> </li><li>Code: <strong><tt>android.permission.INTERNET</tt></strong> </li></ul><p>This permission is required to sync your notebook online, if you chose to. Note that nothing is sent or received over the internet unless you create a Quill account. </p><h2><a name="Act_as_an_Account_Authenticator"></a>Act as an Account Authenticator<a class="section_anchor" href="#Act_as_an_Account_Authenticator"></a></h2><ul><li>Market description: <i>Allows the app to use the account authenticator capabilities of the AccountManager, including creating accounts and getting and setting their passwords</i> </li><li>Code: <strong><tt>android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS</tt></strong> </li><li>Code: <strong><tt>android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS</tt></strong> </li></ul><p>This permission allows Quill to create and display an account in the Android preferences. Also, allows Quill to get/set the password for Quill's own account. </p><p>The market description is a bit terse, but note that the <i>their</i> in <i>getting and setting their passwords</i> refers to the account that the app created. There is no permission in Android that would allow an app to access <strong>other</strong> app's passwords. </p><h2><a name="Read_Contact_Data"></a>Read Contact Data<a class="section_anchor" href="#Read_Contact_Data"></a></h2><ul><li>Market description: <i>Allows the app to read all of the contact (address) data stored on your tablet. Malicious apps may use this to send your data to other people. Allows the app to read all of the contact (address) data stored on your phone. Malicious apps may use this to send your data to other people.</i> </li><li>Code: <strong><tt>android.permission.READ_PROFILE</tt></strong> </li><li>Code: <strong><tt>android.permission.READ_CONTACTS</tt></strong> </li></ul><p> This permission is used to read your own profile, so you do not have to type your own name and email if you want to create a Quill account. Note that your profile information is only used to provide defaults for your name and email when creating an account, and you can change them arbitrarily before creating an account. </p><p>Unfortunately there is no finer-grained permission to only let an app access your own profile but not other contacts. Hopefully this will be introduced in a future Android version. If you want to verify for yourself that Quill only queries your own profile data, you can look into <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android-quill/source/browse/src/com/write/Quill/sync/UserProfileICS.java" rel="nofollow">UserProfileICS.java</a> in the Quill sources: </p><pre class="prettyprint">private void initialize(Activity activity) {

ContentResolver cr = activity.getContentResolver();
10+
Uri profile_uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
11+
ContactsContract.Profile.CONTENT_URI,
12+
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
13+
Cursor cursor;
14+
cursor = cr.query(profile_uri, QueryEmail.PROJECTION,
15+
QueryEmail.SELECTION, QueryEmail.ARGS, null);</pre><p>Quill queries <tt>ContactsContract.Profile.CONTENT_URI</tt>, so only the user's own profile information is returned. </p><h2><a name="Modify/Delete_USB_Storage_Contents,_Modify/Delete_SD_Card_Conten"></a>Modify/Delete USB Storage Contents, Modify/Delete SD Card Contents<a class="section_anchor" href="#Modify/Delete_USB_Storage_Contents,_Modify/Delete_SD_Card_Conten"></a></h2><ul><li>Market description: <i>Allows the app to write to the USB storage. Allows the app to write to the SD card.</i> </li><li>Code: <strong><tt>android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE</tt></strong> </li></ul><p>This is required in order to save backups and/or PNG/PDF exported files. </p>
