Meme Creator for Android - Simple & Ad-Free

Hi there 👋

memetastic's Issues

Fix sharing into app when Asset list is empty

Load Text positions from MemeConf and make these editeable in own UI

Y U HAVE NO MEMES?

Since a couple of days updaing the memes removes eveeything but two rage ones and one human.

No image and font assets in latest f-droid update

I see that it was updated to use a separate repo for assets, but there doesn't seem to be any instructions on how to use this. Where does it look for the assets on the phone?

Double-back prompt

Awesome app

1. It would be nice to set an option to not require a second back-press to exit a meme-in-progress (at the user's own understood risk of text loss). Or maybe there could be an optional/pro auto-save feature.

2. It would be nice if a second back-press wasn't needed if no text was ever entered into the meme.

Unable to take picture and create a meme

Expected behavior

I wanted to create a meme from taking a picture in my environment, I expected after using the create meme using mobile camera feature will be something good, since I will have to just take the picture to my taste and use the app to create the meme, without having to minimize and open other apps.

Actual behavior

After clicking the camera option to take a picture for the meme, the app responded with "could not start camera" and I found out that I was only able to create a meme with selecting images, meaning the camera feature is not making.

How to reproduce the bug

• download memetastic here on Google Play Store
• open the app and accept necessary settings
• click the create meme with camera, which is showing at the top of the app, an addition and a camera icon to describe
  You will find out the feature is not working.

• Mobile : Infinix note 4
• Operating system: android 7.0 (nougat)
• app version : 1.4.1

Replace LineColorPicker with more advanced color picker

Replace the current color picker in editor (MemeCreateActivity) with something more advanced, preferable https://github.com/jaredrummler/ColorPicker.

Show the current color then in the same line like the text. See image below. A click somewhere on the whole line should show the picker dialog

Add more text-settings for memes

Extend work done in #33 , add:

• Text-alignment - allow to set left,center, right - default to center
• Apply to all captions - a checkbox, which will if checked apply the meme settings to all MemeCaptionTexts (just iterate the arraylist)
• Add a Presets tab - which holds applies some presets to current text - e.g.
  • normal - use Pressuru, white textcolor, black border color
  • doge - use DogeSans, red textcolor, transparent border color

(Maintainer only) Minor TODO

Per side padding

Currently padding is appended to all 4 sides. Resolving this allows to use a per-side padding mode, which will set e.g. padding-right only, while leaving all other sides untouched.

You may change MemeEditorElements to have 4 padding objects (instead of 1) and just set all 4 in the all-mode, and else just change one in per-side mode.

Menu option to set text to values from MemeConf

No more memes

In version 1.2.1 the app shows no more memes.

The "Show in device gallery" feature is not working on memetastic

Memetastic is used for creating custom meme images. It is an open source application for android devices.

Expected behavior

Using this application, I created a meme and saved it after something I decided to check the picture through my mobile gallery and I noticed the picture was not there.
The "Show in device gallery" was ON which means the saved pictures are meant to appear in device gallery.

Actual behavior

After saving a picture, the picture (meme) does not show in device gallery. Therefore, the Show in device gallery feature does not work.

How to reproduce

Download application through the link below, open the application create a meme and save. Go to device gallery and look for the picture that was created.

Application crash on selecting pictures from cloud storage

Application crashed when an image is stored in cloud storage, .e.g.: Google Drive, Picasa, etc.

[Feature Request] Adding Modern Meme Style Layout

I love this app, but the only thing that it's lacking is support for making modern style memes. These memes have a full picture and white space with black, San Francisco-esk text for the caption above it. This layout is the new standard for meme trends born from ~2015 and later, and this is a must have for making memes that aren't dead at the moment.

I don't think any other open source meme generators have accomplished this yet, as far as I know, but who's stopping us from being the first?

Add another images while editing a meme

Allow to add an other image to the current image (add to a side (which increases size), or just above the current image (z-axis)). The image has to be moveable until accepted. Also the added image needs to be scaleable (as it may be bigger/smaller as the editing image). This may share it's codebase with #45, which is the first step for resolving this.

Make it available on the Play Store too.

Add additional shapes/images at meme creation

Allow to place shapes somehwere in the image, e.g. a hat somewhere. This should be moveable until user accepts. After accepting the hat will be drawn to a copy of the original edit image. The hat should be still there if e.g. the text or a font is changed (image redrawn). The shape also needs to be scaleable (edges) This may share it's codebase with #46.

Show e.g. a list of shapes:

Add a moveable shape to the image:

Searchable meme template list

Make the meme templates search/filterable. Only the matching templates should be shown when entering text.

MemeConf.Image: filename and title can be used for search

Include examples and/or link to knowyourmeme

It would be nice to quickly have access to an example of how the meme is usually used.

Cache asset images

Currently asset images are not cached, because they are most of the time already very small. It yet needs to be decided if it would make sense to also generate thumbnails of the asset images. One big disadvantage will be a very slow first use experience, because the mass-scaling and saving to disk will slow down the device, where the latter will be more performance consuming. Also it will take an unnecessary amount of space of the device away (grows by size of images). For small images (the most are) this would mean a plain copy, for bigger ones a scale.

Must be also considered: Resetting cached images after changing the thumbnail size in preferences

Returns To Application Overview On Screen Rotation

Expected behavior

On rotating the screen we should be able to remain on same page of the appication.

Actual behavior

But when you go to either Fav or Saved page and rotate the screen then you are taken to the main overview page of the application i.e. you are taken to the page with the meme templates.

How to reproduce

1. Install the application from Play Store.
   
2. Launch the app and view in potrait mode.
   
3. Click on Fav or Saved option from left navigation bar.
   
4. Switch the orientation of your screen to landscape mode.
   
   You'll be returned to the overview page or the main page with meme templates of the app.

Additional Options Settings

1. Auto-save (if a user backs out of a meme being edited that wasn't saved)
2. Pick which tab to show as the default screen when launching MemeTastic (instead of only "Create")

Move thumbnails to cache folder

Currently thumbnails are always placed in the .thumbnails subfolder. The thumbnails should be placed in the app's cache folder instead.

MemeTastic project discussion

This issue is kind of a mini community forum, a place to discuss about the project, to ask questions and share ideas.

New App Icon

Create a new app icon for MemeTastic! Place your idea here. Needed is an SVG image. The used images/elements MUST be self created or under a public domain like license. Me / MemeTastic needs to be granted full rights so there is no copyright/license problem when using the image :).

Request: Success Kid

This came from www.memegenerator.net (I just left the captions blank).

Be able to adjust upper & lower font sizes individually

Compare top and bottom lines of https://m.imgur.com/r/AdviceAnimals/LPZKE0Z

rotate pictures

App does not rotate photos taken in portait mode.

App should use exif information to rotate properly, or give hability to user to rotate pics from 90°

Fdroid: non free asset flag

Hey,
I think the app should have the "non free assets" flag on fdroid, since the memes are not available under a free license. I havent checked where the zip meme file is downloaded, but when it's github, you should also add the "non free network" flag.

memetastic questions

This issue will be used to notify contributors of the app. Please subscribe/unsubscribe if you want to keep updated with whats going on in the project. It is kind of a "mailing list" for the project,.

For localization/translation conversation, see #20. You can use e.g. Stringlate to contribute translations - directly on your phone.

Picture viewer with overlay

The target is to move the main code of the ImageViewActivity to an fragment and use an overlay for the toolbar of the viewed the picture. Toggle toolbar visibility on click on image. See example below.

If you want you can also implement swipe, so the next/previous picture in the list gets displayed on left/right swipe. Attention: The ImageView supports zoom controls, they need to keep working if you add this too

Example solution

Per text editeable options (size, color)

Heres how an other app is doing this:

Downloading of assets fail in app

Downloading of meme assets does not work on fdroid version or Google play version at first app start up. Tried on different device still did not work. Tried doing it from the in app settings "Download latest assets" also did not work.

License/copyright violation (copycat apps)

I wasn't sure what licence this app was under because it's not written on the github page, but after compiling, it seems to be under the GPL3 which means that 3rd parties shouldn't be able to republish the app and monetize it.

I found this app in the play store, and there may be one or two more copycat apps, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bestenworld.memecreater

What actions can be taken against these guys?

Propose New Logo

Hi, I want to propose new logo for MemeTastic, hope you like it. You can see other version on this folder
I will show completely other version/color if you like this logo :)

Unify color picker creation, i18n text

Add meme template / font to the assets-package

Post suggestions for inclusion in the app here. The assets are stored in a seperate git repository: https://github.com/gsantner/memetastic-assets

You can maybe find something suitable here:

• Fonts: 1001fonts | Font Squirell | fontspace | Google Fonts | Identify font
• Memes: knowyourmeme.com | /r/MemeTemplatesOfficial | memes.at

Toggle Show memes in system gallery

Resolving this should toggle the visiblity of memes in the android system galleries (MediaScanner). For this you have to add (on creation), delete (on deletion) the meme from the system media database.

Additionally there should be an toggle provided in the Settings (SettingsActivity, preferences.xml) that in general toggles (enables/disables) this. Enabling means the deletion of %SAVEPATH%/memes/.nomedia and the addition of all current and future files in there. Deletion means creation of nomedia file and the removal of all items from the system media database.

Attention: This is ONLY about the media database. You must not delete any pictures here.

Alternative view: vertical list

Add a different view option: To show meme templates as a vertical list instead of a grid.
This means: icon | title | ...(menu dots for favs)

Replace scroll and tabs with ViewPager

Currently the tabs are just used with a listener to change the RecyclerView adapter, instead of changing a viewpage. Horizontal Scrolling is done by watching touch events.

Resolving this will replace this all with an scrollable ViewPager, which is better from UI point of view. This also means MainActivity needs to get converted to work with fragments.

Fix empty text at MainActivity

Suggestions

Grammatically speaking, a space is missing after "device."

Additionally, I always found this popup strange to work with. It's very confusing to specify, "no, stay on this page," because many apps normally equate "no" with "cancel/leave." If the options and wording can be reversed (so that "yes" stays and "no" leaves), that would be very helpful. Thanks for your consideration!

Overlapping in landscape on memetastic app

Expected behavior

while lying down i usually like using my phone in landscape mode which makes everything look wider and broad, so i decided opening the memetastic app to test it out only to discover some texts below went missing..

The writings tend to disappear when in landscape mode

How to reproduce

Open the memetastic app while in landscape mode.
select your memes category humans/animals/others

Just found a copycat.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.nguyenfree.memetastic
This guy stole your whole project and publish it to Google Play for money-making without License and Copyright notice that have been stated in the GNU General Public License v3.0.

No images in create mode.

This started happening after the most recent update via f-droid. Let me know if there is anything you need from me.

🙏

Don't include assets at buildtime

• The target is to not include assets at build time, this will lower the apk size, so memory usage and startup speed a lot.
• Still there should be one thing included: The default font, presseru and maybe 1-5 meme templates, to not show a complete empty app at startup.
• All future assets will be held in app's private storage, whereas still custom templates at sdcard should be possible. This means there is no need of a seperation between asset and storage template anymore.
• The app will need the internet permission, this will be used to check if a newer asset package (zip download from github) is available. The user gets asked if he wants to download that, no auto download. This will involve android DownloaderManager, no need for a custom download methods
  • at first app start or app update
  • once a week
• The downloaded package will be unpacked into app's private storage, then deleted
• Thumbnails should be created for every image bigger than a specific size. Maybe H/W > 300px. Into app's cache directory
• Remove >no internet, stuff included< from descriptions
• Maybe? Optional an JSON containing metadata of images?

Be able to hide undesirable memes

from the "Create" tab and move them to a "Hidden" tab.

Smaller font size

Can you add even smaller font sizes? If there is a lot of text the smallest available font fills the whole picture.
