feat: Add status bar option "Full w/ Progress Bar" by alexfaria · Pull Request #438 · crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader

alexfaria · 2026-01-20T00:37:48Z

Summary

What is the goal of this PR? This PR introduces a new "Status Bar" mode that displays a visual progress bar at the bottom of the screen, providing readers with a graphical indication of their position within the book.
What changes are included?
- Settings: Updated SettingsActivity to expand the "Status Bar" configuration with a new option: Full w/ Progress Bar.
- EPUB Reader: Modified EpubReaderActivity to calculate the global book progress and render a progress bar at the bottom of the viewable area when the new setting is active.
- TXT Reader: Modified TxtReaderActivity to implement similar progress bar rendering logic based on the current page and total page count.

Additional Context

The progress bar is rendered with a height of 4 pixels at the very bottom of the screen (adjusted for margins).
The feature reuses the existing renderStatusBar logic but conditionally draws the bar instead of (or in addition to) other elements depending on the specific implementation details in each reader.
Renamed existing 'Full' mode to 'Full w/ Percentage'
Added new 'Full w/ Progress Bar' option

I've reviewed the code and tested it in both Portrait and Landscape (CCW) modes and it works fine

This is fantastic. Any chance to have the bar without the info text above it (percentage, chapter, battery)?

Hi @MattJ142 thank you for the feedback :)

As requested I've added a "Progress bar" option, let me know what you think

Absolutely 100% what I was hoping for. Thank you.

This is probably a dumb question but will this be added to a future Crosspoint update automatically or do I need to do something to get this on my device?

alexfaria · 2026-01-26T09:07:12Z

Hi, @MattJ142 not a dumb question :)
for it to be added to a future crosspoint release this pr needs to be reviewed and approved by @daveallie

Until then if you want this feature you'd need to build this branch locally and flash it to your device

This is great @alexfaria, thanks!

One small thing I noticed is that at least on my screen, the visibility of the progress bar looks different based on device orientation. I do know my screen will draw black or white all the way out further than the bezels, so I wonder if there's a way to make the progress bar bleed further outside the margin.

Happy to create a new issue rather than comment on a closed PR if that would be useful, or to drop it if nothing could be done.

Might be good to get some testing on a few different devices, I tried to get the default panel margins baked into the getOrientedViewableTRBL function, but it may not be super accurate. Please open a new issue, and if you can field results from a few different devices, that'd be amazing.

Hi! I was wondering if it would be possible to also have an option of the progress bar with the % also available? So far, it’s how i could jump back to another reader when i get home ☺️ or if not possible maybe percentage on the home screen?
