DroidSeries is a TV Series/TV Shows browser and tracker application for Android. Tacking down TV series, episodes, air dates, etc, is a difficult task as there are so many TV series. DroidSeries will help you manage your favorite TV Series and keep track of the episodes that you have or have not seen.
I created this application and just released the first version. Suggestions that help improve the app are also welcome and appreciated!
It's most probable that you will find a bug, so sorry in advance and keep those bug reports coming!
I set up a Google Code page for this app: http://code.google.com/p/droidseries/
DroidSeries source code @ Gitourious
DroidSeries is available in the Android Market under the name "DroidSeries Beta".
All the necessary information plus the apk file (for a manual download), DroidSeries-0.1.5-3.apk is available there. (ChangeLog)

Nice idea
good luck
Thanks, will give this a shot as MyEpisodes Viewer no longer works.
Don't know if this is possible and it might be a bit cheeky.. but would it be possible to import the database from MyEpisodes? ;-) I've spent quite some time going through all of the shows i've watched on there, it would be good if I could skip doing it again!
Edit:
Suggestions-
*Couple of Serie/series typos?
*I would prefer it if the specials were not included in the 'Episodes not watched' calculation. Many of them are silly little clips which don't even air everywhere in the world. Also it includes them in the number of Seasons, which gives the incorrect number for most shows.
*Some form of simple backup/online sync is a MUST
*Shows without a thumbnail appear to be selecting thumbnails from other shows at random
*Following on from that, an option to manually add a thumbnail?
The layout with thumbnails look superb and it all moves very fast
I will take a look at that, if it is possible I'll make it happen.

Excellent work, congratulations for the application.
Do you plan do add it to the market?
Brilliant idea, will be using it for sure. I'd like the ability to backup/restore data too, for my own sanity
will gladly give this a try, seems a lot better than the app i'm using atm....
will let my friends know about the development too
I just updated the links to the 0.1.2 version that fixes some bugs.
DroidSeries-0.1.2.apk
I really like this I think it will help me keep track of all the shows I like to watch and make sure I dont forget about them while waiting for the next season to start. I agree with the typo fixes and possibly an option to remove specials. Something not mentioned though which is not a big deal but would be real nice, add an option to select all episodes as watched in a season to speed things up a bit.
Sounds interesting will give it a try ...
Aside from the few typos, this is a pretty nifty app! I see potential in it.

It's already possible to mark all episodes of a seasons as watched. There is a context menu in that window. If you long press a season, the option will appear.
Like I said You before it looks very interesting this app, let me see if I have some time to try it today.

Yea I didn't spot this at first either. Actually enabled me to add most of my shows very quickly
First off, as an avid Television watcher I want to thank you for making such an application. I often forget which shows are on which nights and at what times.
This application is a great start and really has a lot of potential to be much bigger.
A few suggestions if I may,
1) Notifications when the show is going to air, or something letting you know that the show is going to be airing that day.
2) I know someone already mentioned this, but a backup of all the shows that have already been inputted. I have over 40 shows I like to keep up with and to input them all over again would be a pain.
3) Perhaps an option to get the show synopsis for each episode.
Can't think of anymore as of right now, but when I do, I will let you know.
Thank you.
Very interested in this since I don't have cable and have to download my TV shows. This would be a nice addition to keep track of shows. Giving it a try!
I really like the look of this
At the moment I use tvjunkie and it is an excellent app, but I like the addition of colour thumbnails on your app.
I have just installed it and had added about 5 tv shows and was searching for a 6th and got repeated FC's for some reason
Another thing is when I tried to update all series, it tells me I have no internet connection even though I have full wifi signal. Then I do them individually and it works??
Finally, I added a tv show my wife just started watching called Haven
It has aired 2 episodes so far, but even after updating, it tells me I have 8 not watched and next epsiode is 1x01 on 9th July 2010, whereas the next one will be 1x03 on the 23rd July?
As a matter of interest, or maybe you don't want to say.... just curious where you are pulling the feeds from. I checked epguides and it gives correct air dates for Haven, whereas IMDB TV seems a bit jumbled for this tv show and would explain the errors?
nice app, I've been using google docs to keep track for years now
Great little app, I have started up some google issues with some typo's..
I do have one comment, not sure if I want to mark what I have seen unseen via the app, I already have mediabrowser to do this via my MCE.. More interested in when the show is going to air next etc.. Anyway to bypass the having to mark a show as "watched"?
Excellent i don't have to manually search for what shows aired anymore
Found a bug:
* it sometimes FC when adding a show. Not always though but it FC just after pressing the add sign and i think i just see the popup for retrieving the show informations for a fraction of a second before that.
Some wishes:
* i added bleach, it has so many seasons that i wished there was a "Mark all season up to this one as seen" button
* some sort of rating / comment / integration with a forum would be nice. So far you can only see the show description. Or something like amazon: people watching this show also watch XXX. I think this would be great to have in the future.
* a better highlight of the unseen already aired shows (vs. unseen not aired yet), so for example i could just open this app and figure out what shows just aired that i should see next
* related to above, you could also split the main show list into "Just aired": the shows that you can see now, "Coming next": shows that will air in order of air date, and perhaps "On Hold": shows that are between seasons and will air like next year / a few months (can make this time lapse configurable)
* related to above, why not a widget that displays that (i am not a big fan of widgets in general but it could be useful)
* a timeline view
* option to ignore unseen specials

Hi guys, an app I've been working on for the better part of 6 months has been released into the market as a free beta. It's called TV Show Favs and lets you manage all of your favorite TV shows.
It shows you a personal schedule for all upcoming shows of your favorites, has a top favs for all users, allows you to track every episode you have watched, and it even has a custom notification manager where you can either choose to be notified for all your shows, or just the shows you want, or even at an episode level. You can choose to be notified at a default time (5 min up to a week), or select an individual episode and choose the exact time/date. Also, everything is stored online, so you never lose any of your data, and once we eventually have a website to manage online, and potentially an iphone app, your info goes with!
In less than 3 days we have had over 1000 downloads already. I am working my butt off to fix any bugs that are reported and implement any feature suggestions. Any feedback is great! Thanks!
Here is our website - www.tvshowfavs.com - which has some info about the app as well as some screenshots, and the link to the app in the market. If you are too lazy to go to the site, here is the market link: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.tvshowfavs

Hi, I just downloaded your app and it looks great. I cant wait to try it out.
Do you have any plans to make a widget showing upcoming shows.
I love this program. You should incorporate reviews and user ratings from IMDB or something... and the ability to write reviews directly in your app and post to IMDB (if possible). Also, if you could mark all shows on all seasons watched at once instead of tapping seasons/season 1/menu/mark all watched... meaning eliminate one middle step... seasons/menu/mark all watched, that'd be sweet too.
Awesome. Just downloaded, will post impressions soon. I really liked droid series, but no notifications hurt.
Quick impressions:
Interface is amazing for finding and searching shows
It looks like it will be invaluable for keeping on top of things (most of my shows happen to start this week, so I get lost!)
In fact, the only problem I have with this app, is it doesn't look like it will be that good at keeping up with old series your going through. To fix that, I'd like to see
In the page, with the show, under seasons tab, there is a list of all seasons. Under the season number, I'd like to see "x unwatched episodes"
I'd like to be able to mark the entire season as watched
An option to mark multiple seasons watched at once
Droid Series does these things excellently, if you want a good example. However, yours is far better at keeping up with current shows. Fix the above problems, and I would for sure be a buyer. Otherwise, I'll still be stuck with two programs for TV.
Its a good app, and i saw that you added calender integration? I'm not sure how to sync it with my calender though. Is this actually a feature or something coming soon?
I definitely plan on having an upcoming shows widget down the road.

We do have plans on doing user reviews and ratings within the app. We also plan on having relational suggestions, as well as comments for shows and episodes. These are things that will likely make the main release, possibly the beta. Also, in the next update (Sunday or Monday), we will have the option to set a show as watched and a season as watched. As for IMDB, this is a great idea and I will look into it.

What exactly do you mean by no notifications? There are notifications in the app, in fact the most customizable notifications of any app I can imagine.

To add an episode to the calendar just select any episode in a list (List of episodes in the episode list view, episode on the schedule) or select the "Add To Calendar" menu option in the menu on the episode info screen.

I meant droid series (the app I used previously like this) had no notifications, and that was the biggest drawback to it. Loving the notifications/schedule on this app
I like it so far. My only complaints would be that instead of episode information I see pictures and that the color scheme (grey and dark blue) is a little ugly.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand dark color schemes because not many people coordinate colors properly. For me, light grey color schemes are best because they're easy on the eyes and it's easy to find complementing colors. The android app market is a good example of a well designed app.
I can't find it in my market I'm using HD2 with Desire HD Android port. Can somebody help me. I'm a total TV shows junky. The app looks veeery nice!
I was just needing this app...
With all the good shows on several different networks and the seasons of the shows hard to keep up with, I was wondering if there was app that could keep up with my shows and here it is. Can wait to put it to the test this week.

Did you try using the direct link either via the barcode on the website or clicking the barcode on your phone? If so, it is very possible that since it is a leaked rom some apps don't show up. I have had that issue in the past when installing custom roms. Usually it requires the rom maker to modify something on the rom to make it work.
I really like it, I've done my video review with a few requests in
http://hemorrdroids.net/tv-show-favs/
Main one being, can you make an option to add all shows to a calendar of my choosing? I would then make a new calendar for TV shows
Really enjoy this app, does a lot of things I like. For some reason I couldn't find anywhere to link the schedule to my calendar? Running 2.2 (FroydVillain 1.5) on Hero. A couple of suggestions:
1) Option to turn on an additional button next to the "Watched" button in the schedule, named "Downloaded". So you can track which episodes you have downloaded, and then which of those you have watched (not for illegal use, most broadcasters let you download episodes from their websites legally, eg BBC). This button probably isn't needed by everyone, but having the ability to turn it on would be nice
2) A friends button. Allowing you to link to other people using the app to share Favs, and see who has watched what episodes (if they plan to share this information).
3) Comments. Would be great to be able to add comments to episodes, so your friends can see what you have said about an episode (add a tickbox for spoilers!). So when you click the "Watched" button, it gives you an option to add a comment.
4) Facebook (or Twitter) link. To post a status on Facebook/Twitter including your comment, for example: "Zebwen just watched House Season 6 Episode 1 and thought: Wow! About time!" (With a little pic of the House show image next to it, and a link to the show on TV.com or somesuch).
As it stands, this app is a great tool, these are just some suggestions that I would love to see for my own use. Keep up the great work!

I just released Island Settlers to the Android Market! I appreciate any feedback. See below for screenshots.
If you're downloading from the market, make sure you uninstall the preview version first.
English only. Contact me if you can help make a translation.
Please read the webpage for details and report any issues.
Cheers!

Screenshot (Dec 6, 2010 - 1.2.2)
Update: preview 2
Preview 2 is out! This release is single player only, with basic AI. I also improved the board interaction system. Double-tap to zoom in or out, and long press to place a settlement/city/road/robber. Let me know if there are issues or you have any suggestions.
Check out the details and apk download on my site:
http://android.neilisaac.ca/site/settlers
Catan! I haven't tried it yet, but I'm already excited. The board game is so very fun. Thanks for working on this

Any screenshots for potential testers?
I posted one screenshot on my website (shown below)
You can download the game from my website!
http://android.neilisaac.ca/site/settlers
Let me know how it goes.
I haven't had a chance to play this a lot. I don't like the vibration, which occurs even when the phone is in silent mode.
I am fairly certain the vibration signals the computer moving. Perhaps a quick pop up or something could instead let the user know about the ai.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The vibration and/or beep signal the beginning of a human turn. I intended this to alert you to pass the phone to someone else if you're playing with friends. These can be controlled based on your android settings ("Audible selection" and "Haptic feedback" under "Sound settings.") I'll add an option to override those in the application.
I have a new version (almost ready) that adds a bunch of minor features, including a turn log as you suggested. It also lets you set player names and colors, and have a combination of human and ai players.
I have a buddy working on some new textures. Saying he's a better artist than me is an understatement. See screenshot above
I have a short list of bugs to fix and some things that came up in testing. I'll have another release out within a day or so.
Ah, I understand that now. When playing alone it seemed pointless, but I can see how it would be useful with friends.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Check out my updated version on the market!
Here are the most significant features as of release r4:
* Set number of points to win game
* Show past game results
* Persistent settings and player names
* Turn log
* Crash and stall fixes
i really like where this is going!
used to love the game and this version is getting my attention
two things about the current version:
the "build town" button shows because i have the right recources (i guess, see my second point) but i am not able to build one because of the rules (i've only got my two initial towns and roads so i need a road first)
-> shouldn't the "build town" button show only when i am really able to build one?
i used to play the real game a couple of years ago. got used to having my "resources-trading"-card (how many x do i need to build y) visible at all times so i could glance at it while trading. i see that you implemented a menu showing when pressing the menu button in the last version (good start by the way, wanted to suggest that too) - it would be great if you could implement another button in the menu that shows to display the "resources-trading"-card (for lack of a better name)
more feedback to come.
EDIT: see below
i need a statusboard with the following information to make decisions and refine strategy:
- player points
- how many resources a player has (not how many in each category but in total - i think according to rules this is possible)
- all the stuff displayed on my own info-screen (in-game-menubar -> "info")
a suggestion where to place this: remove "info" and "turn log" from the in-game-menubar.
instead display "status" (or whatever name) to the left of "options".
status is a full-screen display of player stats.
via tab it is possible to switch to the other players, per default my own information is displayed (like when pressing "info" in the in-game-menubar)
(very) rough mockup attached.
new post because it's getting too long
_especially_ when moving the robber i need to know those things:
how many points and how many cards does everybody have?
what's the cost of a town/road/etc.?
another thing, sorry for the massive amount of stuff i just thought i'd get it all out now that i'm at it
right now i am in posession of all the right resources (lumber, wool, grain, brick) and i have a sweet spot where i want to put this town.
the thing is - the button to do it is not there!
those buttons are showing:
1st row: Info - Trade - End turn
2nd row: Buy or use card - Build road
"Build town" is not there!
is there any way to provide you with debug info for cases like this?
maybe it would be possible for you to integrate a debug option that saves the current state of the game in a txt-file i could send you, or something like it.
EDIT: i wasn't able to build towns or cities for the rest of the game.
at some point (couple of turns later) i also lost the ability to build roads, even though i had enough resources.
EDIT2: i was able to build cities, but no more towns and roads.
is there some rule that restricts the amount of towns and/or roads i forgot?
EDIT3: this has to be a rule i don't know about. in another game i am now able to build roads/towns/cities as i like.
i just move the robber because i rolled a 7.
the game offered me to steal from either of two players because they had cities where i placed it.
one player had 0 resources the other had 3.
why bother to show the player with 0 resources?
a confirmation when building roads would be great - i was very sure of my placement but build two roads in the wrong spot because of clumsiness
oh and i'd like to help with the german translation.
Freaking Awesome!!!
Freaking Awesome!!!
I love, love, love, love this game!
Thanks for all the feedback Emelie! I'll try and respond to most of it here.
Status windows
First off, I like your idea of the consolidated status window. My thought is to keep the (optional) popup turn log so you can see what happened since your last turn at a glance, but then replace the info and turn log buttons with a merged version.
Your mockup looks good. My approach has been to avoid showing any information that can be found by looking at the board. I think the status window shouldn't tell you much that your opponents in the real board game don't have to tell you. The big thing is that it shouldn't show victory points - I think a big part of the game is in speculating this for yourself. More importantly, there are the "victory cards" that aren't shown to other players until you declare that you've won. Of course you need the information such as the number of development cards that each person holds so you can make your speculations.
A quick building costs dialogue that is always available would probably be good. I put it under trade and that was good enough for the time, but I'm not 100% happy with it - it's on my todo list.
Interface
I'd like to add an undo option after building. After I added zoom and long press support I found that I don't make mistakes, so this became low priority. Of course this would help with people learning the interface. It would also probably help to have "toast" (the small popups in the lower third of the screen) prompts to tell you what to click ("double tap to zoom in, then long press to build your road" or something.)
When you steal from someone, I decided to show the full list so it is more obvious why it doesn't let you steal from someone. My ideal interface design would be a dialogue like that, but with the 0 resource players disabled and greyed out, however I don't think that's possible without going to more depth. Maybe I'll change it from a dialogue to a full activity (info and turn log are dialogues that pop up, trade and options are full activities - you'll notice that they don't disappear when you rotate the screen; I went to great lengths to ensure that the steal dialogue comes up again if you do this.) Let me know if you have other ideas, or even a mock-up.
Usability-oriented design is important. I'll admit that much of my design is based on what was either most obvious to do while developing it, or what is fastest to use when clicking through the game really fast. My preview-2 release was really quick, but has poor usability.
Rules
The board game has 5 settlements (which I call towns since it's shorter and screen space is valuable on a phone) 4 cities, and 15 roads. This forces you to use a more diversified strategy to get points, so you can't just build 10 towns and win. When you build a city, you do get 1 town back. This is implemented but my game doesn't really tell you about it (except maybe in the instructions if I included that.) I think I'll include something like this in the status window "towns: 3 / 5" or similar. Maybe keep the button when you can afford it, but give you an error message when you click it explaining why you can't build a town.
Translations
In android, you typically put all your strings in an xml resource file. Some of my generated text dialogues are hard-coded though. I'll try and move more of those into the xml file so they can be translated too. The buttons at the top will be more annoying to support translations for.
Here are the countries with the most users: US, UK, Canada (all english) then Germany, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Denmark (order not exact.) I'll try and do a french translation as an example.
For those willing to help, I'll make it really quick and easy. Send me an email at [email protected] and I'll get you set up.
Debugging
About dumping debug info, the easiest way is for you to describe exactly what you did. Include the stage of the game; is it the first turn? where are you in the turn order? how many ai players? what buttons did you click? did you rotate the screen half way through?
If it crashes or hangs, the best way to help me is to give me a stack trace. If you're using the market version, there's a button to submit it automatically. Add a message telling me what was going on in case I can't guess. So far the only person who added a comment just said "the game crashed again."
If you get to a point you don't think is right, you can try to produce a stack trace showing that too. This is a bit tricky though since it actually needs to be in a point in my code, rather than android runtime. The procedure is to run "adb shell" then kill the application (use "ps" to get the PID, then "kill -9 PID_NUMBER") then check "adb logcat" and send me the stack trace if it's useful (check for class names within com.settlers.) If this doesn't make sense, don't worry about it.
Thanks!
Going to give this a go, catan is a very addictive game, kudos for bringing it to Android!
yeah i like your detailed answer! going to reply at the end of the week - massive pile of work to take care of.
in the meantime - i'd like to do the german translation, PM/post instructions so i can proceed! sent you an email
love your game

If you encountered some crash issue, please don't uninstall it right away, because I can see it , I'll try my best to resolve it.
Coolands for Twitter is a revolutionary twitter client. It has many unique features, gives you the best mobile twitter experience you never imagined before.
*The first unique feature is Real-Time.
You can’t find any refresh button in this app, because you absolutely don’t need to. Every time you open it, you’ll get the latest tweets and while you’re reading, you’ll get incoming tweets in Real-Time. So if your friend mentioned you, you can reply instantly.
*The second unique feature is Avatar Indicator.
Avatar Indicator is small avatars showed on the title bar to indicate that you’ve got new message/tweet/mention. Since it’s real-time, you’ll keep getting incoming tweets while you’re reading your older timeline, Avatar-Indicator will let you know who’s tweet you’ve just got, and decide whether to check it out right away.
*The third unique feature is Direct Link
I think it is obviously the most intuitive and convenient way to open a link. When you want to open a link, just click it in the time line . You can also click a username to open a profile window, click a hash tag to open a search result window. Different kind of links displayed in different colors, you can change it to whatever color you like.
The fourth unique feature is Smart Bookmark
Have you ever experienced this scenario? When you are reading your home timeline, the app notified you that you’ve got some new tweets, you click “go-to-top” button to read the newest tweets, and then you want to get back to the previous position to continue your reading. How can you do this? In other twitter clients you have to scroll down all the way to find where you were, a lot of time wasted. But in this app, “go-to-top” button will appear when you scrolling up, click it, you can got to top, read the newest tweets. After that when you scrolling down, Smart Bookmark button will appear at the corner. Click it, you can get back to exactly where you were.
*The fifth unique feature is User Level Notification
Notification for all your new tweets is meaningless, if you following more than a few users, you’ll get new tweets all the time. What if you only want to be notified when someone you most care about posted a new tweet? In this app, it’s easy. You can change your friend’s notification setting directly in his/her profile screen. You can also set different notification ringtone for your friends respectively. So when you heard a notification ringtone, you’ll know who he/she is without the need to open your phone. And you can manage all the enabled User-Level-Notification settings in one place.
*The sixth unique feature is Sleep Time.
It’s not very special but I think it’s important. You probably don’t want to be waked up by any kind of notification noise when you sleep. You can set your sleep time, so you don’t receive any kind of notifications when you sleep.
*The seventh unique feature is Last Position.
This app doesn’t save all your older tweets when you exit. Every time you launch it, the newest tweets show up on the screen. But you can retrieve your position at which you exited last time, and continue your reading, by select ‘Last position’ menu option.
Coolands for Twitter has most of the basic twitter client features, like post/delete tweets, retweet, reply, quote, send/delete direct message, subscribe/unsubscribe lists, follow/unfollow user, multiple account support (up to 3), append picture with your tweets, mention auto complete, recent search auto complete, etc.
Please give me feedbacks if you have tried it, and I PROMISE to reply all your emails.
*1.11 update
*Add static image notifier on the top of the screen, removed text notifier.
*1.12 update
*fixed silent ringtone issue.
*removed picture resize options, pictures will be resized to proper size automatically before upload.
*1.20 update
*Refined UI
*Add 'Last position' menu option. it is used to retrieve your position at which you exited last time, and continue your reading.
Unable to install on my Acer A500. The market says the app is incompatible.

I ruled out Tablet,because I don't have tablet, so I can't make a tablet version.
I just received an crash report, from LG GT-540 caused by a NullPointerException, I guess that's because my Entry Activity was killed by System when user went to Browser to authorize the app.
I'm sorry for my user who use 256M RAM phone, I use Samsung Vibrant to test which has 512M RAM, I should get one.
nice program. description is sufficient. I'm trying now.

Thanks, would you please tell me about your thought after trying it.
app has crazy potential. won't lie. but it has some few issues. most users won't pick up on the swipe to change screens. at least i think they won't. I could be wrong. There were also a few spelling mistakes in it, but overall was great. With a little polish this could overtake plume as my go to twitter app.

Of course. Swipe all the way to the left and "Favorites" is misspelled. The help screen has some minor stuff. If you want I can rewrite it all, but I'll have to do it after I wake up. When you compose, the hint is missing a space between what's happening, and the twitter user name. I also had a force close but i've been unable to replicate it so it might have just been a one time thing. But the more i play with it, the more I like it. Thank you!
You are so kind, I'll correct them in the next version.
And I definitely need you to rewrite the help stuff.
And have you notice the lanscape mode composing screen? You can type in lanscape mode and still see the number of characters, and buttons. I think its very convenient. And I didn't mention it on market description.
I cant find it by searching in the Android market and when I click the link the xda app force closes..
Could you upload an apk? I would like to try it

What keyword did you use to search? I searched "coolands for twitter", and there it is.
Maybe you just searched "coolands", and its not showed on the first page.
I used the link.....no problems. Also noticed the spelling errors, no big deal. Initially will take some getting use to, but the more I use it, the more I like it.
Now I found it by searching for "coolands for Twitter ", thanks.

Thank you for this free app. I'll try it, seems awesome.
Great app other than the small issues mentioned. I'm confused about why there is an update interval in settings if it is real time.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
that is background refresh interval for notifications, its confusing indid, i should change the name.

1.02 update
fixed some crash issue.
fixed some spelling error.
And it's not All-Time Real-Time, if you exit the app, and notification is enabled, it won't notify you in Real-Time.
I could do that, but that would drain your battery heavily.
will be trying this out in a while.
thanks!
I need more feedbacks please.
I feel depressed about not getting replys.

This is even better than the beta I tested 2 weeks ago. Did you see some of the coupons I TagIt for Papa Johns ? Getting ready for Super Bow Sunday.

[Question] - Android screen video capture?
Done anyone know of any suitable way to capture video of running app on android device?
I've tried several
Capture apps (none reliable though, one said it was taking view, but did not store it, another was unable to start the service). BTW on a rooted dev.
Moto webtop (this really sucks @ 5fps)!!
Thinking about getting a phone grip, putting camcorder on stand over my shoulder and do the job. But what about screen glare from the phone? Anyone had any experience with these?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.roundere
does it support coupons in asia ?
@ aquaphx if you're interested we can certainly do it.
Tell you the truth we have the basic framework, just a few more lines of code and some testing would get it there.
would you be interested?
I've tried screencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/, must say its impressive effort and in the right direction. Easy to use and developer clearly sets expectations.
For my purpose i need higher FPS, hence I'm headed out to walmart to get a phone grip and will use my old camcorder, not sure if outcome will be as impressive, but another hour of trial & error, will post results as once I'm done.
Check out the demo video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF0Sv8GI7Lg
First shot @ it, but turned it ok,
Equipments used
- video camera
- tripod
- white gift box turned
- kiddie table
- tape
Change display settings on the phone to never timeout and set display brightness to manual (max it out).
point the camcorder straight down, tape the back of the phone to gift box, tape the gift box to a kiddie table. Point and focus your camera down to the phone. Found manual focus helps, since screen display changes can trigger auto focus. And make sue to use 'one finger' -- haha.
Time spent 1 hour and 30 minutes to everything, including adding Music track (credits in youtube video). Could improve with more editing and some additional lights.

We know how exactly that can be - from my location see only 5-6 PoI's total, I have to pan the map quite a bit to get interesting stuff.
BTW what kind of PoI would you be interested in? Name of any local stuff would help us get that data.
Updated from 1.0.4 to 1.5. I have been putting it off because the last version were working fine. Well, I got to say 1.5.0 is awesome. I am still running Samsung galaxy 1 with 2.1 and the performance of panning the map is much smoother now. I got to love the coupon tags sticking out of Target and Best Buy. Now more reasons for me to buy gadgets I might not ever need . Good job guys !

@db thks. would recommend turning on auto updates on the app. please do rate us as well.
R u able to see more data?
Yes, I see there are a lot of local restaurants added in my area which is great. I love the fact that now when I click on an unknown place, your app automatically do a quick search on the web and display review information. No more having to exit the app and text up on google search. Love it.
I am going out of town this weekend, so i will be using this a lot.

don't forget to show us some love -- rate the app favorably on market (if that's where you installed it from). let us know if you have a feature request, maybe we can name the feature after you
F8, Beta crashed on me last night. emailed you the log. Went back to 1.5 release.
Carlos,
Looking at the stack now. Do you remember which area of the map you were in when this happened? This can't happen unless our data is bad or during downloading the data got corrupted.
F8
quick update on data
* Added more pubs and bars
* even more night life spots
* some regional chains
If you can't see new categories, you may have to clear your data cache .
Updated with 1.5.1 : minor bug fixes.
If you have 4.0 phone there is
an outstanding issue on Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.x phones http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19857 is really Android framework issue.
f8
I did a complete uninstall of 1.5 official first then put in the beta, now it is working. So I am thinking upgrading to the beta directly isn't working. I will let you know if I run into other problem while testing this beta out.

Hey
I tested your app. The performance is great and so is the app. I really love the actors tab.
My suggestions for your app to make it more user-friendly and maybe to add some additional features:
I don't really like the percentage indicators in the shows tab. The progress bar (13/14 seen) in the shows own tab is much better.
The next unwatched episode checkbox should be in the main tab (shows) to quickly mark episodes as seen. Now you have to click on every show and there click the box and go back...
Maybe make the popup of episodes swipeable to go quickly through all episodes (useful when you search for a specific one) and show the season/ episode number in the header.
A combined favorite tab for episodes and actors/actresses. Maybe located in the swipe out menu.
A news tab for "my" shows (not sure if this is possible).
A new shows tab to quickly look for new shows.
I will continue using the app and maybe find more things

Wow, thanks for the great feedback! Some of your ideas are really great :good:
I will definitely change the percentage indicator and try to add the next unwatched episode box in the main tab in the next update.
Your suggestion with the swipeable seasons/episodes is great, but since the the fragment with the episodes is already swipeable(Actors - Overview - Episodes) I have to think about how to implement it user-friendly.
In one of the next updates, I also try to implement a new tab with popular shows/trending shows to give the user some tv show suggestions. Maybe I add also a new shows tab there, but the API adds many many shows daily and most of them are very unknown.
And thanks for continuing using my app, really appreciate it
Clicking on an episode could open a new level with only episodes swipeable.

Myself, I really hate that feature, if possible make it an option that a user can turn it on or off. I know it will have it's own tab, but I would still like to hide it.

Oh, I described it incorrectly, my bad. I would made a new item in the navigation drawer to get to the trending/popular shows.
Seems great!
I Just had a sneak peak after installing 'cause I'm at work, but seems to even find anime ( not sure about less famous ones; but that's not your fault ^^)
I was going to develop a personal site that could help me to track series and anime, but you beat me on time!
It would be great the integration on google account, giving this way the opportunity to sync with other devices instead of relying on export and restore.
I'm gonna test fully this evening on my way home!
Is the app data specific to countries/region?
Hi @mrtn453,
Thanks for such a nice utility app.. Just have a question( yet to try this!) - is it specific to country/region?
Just gonna drop a line here to keep the thread easy to find.
i made my own years ago, but nowhere near this useful, nice work ^_^

It isn't specific to country, its the same in every country.
Thanks for the app, it's very useful. Just a sugesttion, how about making a homescreen widget with information about next episodes of the shows you're watching?
Not the best
This app has great functionality but I find TVShow Time better. It's ui is much better and it has the same features that this app has
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tozelabs.tvshowtime
I recommend you to add a quick walk-through/guide. It will be less confusing.
Its a good app.. I liked it. I was working on a similar app way back.
