ttrss-reader, Android client for Tiny Tiny RSS (php) - Android Apps and Games

Hi folks,
i am proud to announce the Release of v0.5.11 of ttrss-reader, the android-client for Tiny Tiny RSS:
TTRSS-Reader for Android
Tiny Tiny RSS
TT-RSS is a php/javascript-based reader with a google-reader-like interface, running on your own server with mysql/postgresql and php. It supports multiple user-accounts, feed-categories, labels, sharing of articles and automatic updates every x minutes.
ttrss-reader for Android
Ttrss-reader for Android was started at code.google.com by J.Devauchelle but as i couldn't reach him for several weeks i forked the project: (see note above for URL)
I implemented some usability features and then started implementing local caching since before EVERY single piece of data was requested from the server, slowing down the browsing a lot.
Now i think the program is in a quite usable state, although the local-caching doesn't work so well. The server-side provides API-methods to retrieve data as JSON-Objects but they are focused on transferring a low amount of data in every request (eg. only one article with content is sent at a time, not all new articles which would be much easier).
So if anyone want to keep his feeds away from google and do stuff on his own, in my opinion this is the way to do it. And please excuse my english. ^^
I would appreciate any ideas what could be improved or bugreports and i'd feel honoured if some of you would like to try this app or even join developement.

Hi,
Just to say that I like this app but my ttrss instance seems too big for this app. Android ask me to kill the app everytimes it makes a refresh of the data.
for information : my ttrss run on a PC and is hosted at home. It has +12000 articles
Keep up

Definitely trying this soon
My carrier should have the new Android phone I want in this week. I will definitely try this and get back to you!

Getting error message? I installed this, and put in my tt-rss location, username, and password. It gives me this error message:
"error":"API_DISABLED"

@celticchrys: That means you have to login to the webinterface and enable the API in your user-preferences. Dont know why but the API-access is a per-user-setting in Tiny Tiny RSS so every user has to enable it for himself.
Greetings,
nils

@lordnils: Thanks, I'll give that a try.
***EDIT***
It force closed on me a couple of times, did fetch my articles once, and now says it cannot. I also got a very long error, many screens long, that begins with :
Oupd...
I was unable to conenct to your Tiny Tiny TSS instance, please check your connection and/or connection settings.
Error details:
A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 1 of <html>
The above is then followed by basically the entire code for my login page.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hm, something seems to be wrong with the URL for API-Access. You should make sure you entered the URL in the settings exactly like the URL you use to access the webinterface of Tiny Tiny RSS.
If the problem still exists it would be helpful if you provided me with the output of ADB (or aLogcat from the market if you dont want to mess with the USB-connection and the Android-SDK). It would be the easiest way to resolve the problem if you opened an issue on <url for the google-code page of our project where you can start an issue> so other people involved could try to fix the problem, too.
Greetings,
nils
ps: sry for not posting urls, i dont think it is a good practice to encourage people to spam somewhere so they can post links. so i just dont do it and wait for the protection to dissappear. :/

sent pm
lordnils, I've sent you a PM with the requested log.
Thanks!

I just released the TTRSS-Reader on the market:

Hey lordnils,
I'm having the same problem as celticchrys. I am using the exact url that I login to via a browser, API is enabled, but still get the documented error within the program.
Any ideas what I might look at?

First of all, which versions are you using (Tiny Tiny RSS and TTRSS-Reader)?
Then: Can you acquire the output of logcat (aLogcat from the market or "adb logcat" if you got the SDK installed)?
If you are using old versions (older then Tiny Tiny RSS v.1.4.3.1 and TTRSS-Reader v0.7.3) please update first and try again. There are some issues with older Versions of the API which could cause this problem.
Greetings,
nils

I've just checked, and I'm running TTRSS 1.4.2 on my server, and I have the latest Market version on my phone.
Perhaps this is the problem! I'll look into updating my TTRSS server install, and get back to you.

Thank you! This is great! I didn't want to move all my feeds to google so this is perfect!

Android Town

Ok, Android Town is now an obsolete name and application on the market. It was renamed to Peeples. Peeples is a seperate app on the market so you would need to download that one. It uses the same DB as Android Town so all your information is saved.
Peeples is a social community application which is location based. It enables users to see other users of the application on the map and strike up a conversation with them. Privacy options are also available.
So far the application has over 11k users.
Peeples has the added options of:
- uploading profile pictures and avatar through the application
- sending files from SD card with messages as attachments (5Mb limit for now)
Try it out and let me know what you think.

Running it on a G1 running CM 4.2.15.1.
Noticed a few things.
1) Registration via App Only (not a big deal, just no indication on the site as such)
2) Registration within the app resulted in "passwords do not match" ANY time I left a password field even when they did match
3) Map reacts slowly when being moved or zoomed in/out
As there's no one yet in my area run ning this, I haven't tested many of the other features. I'll report as I experience more.
Thanks for giving it a try. Hopefully some more US citizens register so you'll be able to interact with them. 5000 kms (around 3100 miles) is the biggest radius so far. Most of the users are in Europe at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up on the registration part. I will definitely try to improve it.
I was also thinking about adding content from social networks if users have any (FB, Twitter, FLickr...). What do you think about that?
And thanks again for testing
Have yet to install the newer release for testing, but looking forward to it.
The concept of linking other social media is a fine idea, provided that there are switches set in place to allow for selected/unselected status. I know plenty of users who would want to publish information for their Facebook, but may want to avoid doing so on other networks.
Either way, yeah, further integration with social media is a fine idea.
ill install and test tmmrw probably
seems pretty cool ill make sure to throw it on my EVO as soon as it freakin comes out
Added to my G1. Will let you know what happens.
Cheers. I sent you a msg in the app as well. Can you test how the send message screen looks on lower resolution please?
Testing it out now , but not many *users* in norway.
I'm the only one
Application is still in its's early days. If you choose a larger radius you will see more users (around 45 accross the world right now)
Application has just been published to the market as well, under the Social category of applications.
How about making a public chat channel that every one is in , when we connect . And late maybe switch it so it will be local / country only.
All depending on how many users this app gets
That's actually a very good idea. I'll be sure to do that as soon as possible...shouldn't be that hard (at least for a single one for starters)
Good nice app!
Already tweeted this. I'll Buzz it as well.
Private Messages look fine on the G1. No issue there.
I'll be comparing my experience to my friend's on the Nexus. Hopefully provide you some better feedback concerning how this works with the G1's older hardware.
Edit: First things we noticed, "Passwords do not match!" error is still present when registering via the app, even if the passwords do match. This issue has been replicated on the G1 and the Nexus 1.
Other noted issues:
Attempt to "Add as friend" on the G1 results in a toast of "Error". No other information contained in error.
Sending a picture on the G1 took about 1 min 45 seconds from time of shot to "Picture sent!" toast showed up.
I'll see what I can do to provide better information (such as screenshots, etc)
Let me know what else you could use.
Just a thought, an option to register via the desktop(internet) as well.
i couldn't figure out how to register until I found it as an option in settings when the app was open.
Doh.
It's lonely in the south of england......
Working on the mentioned bugs as we speak. Will probably release an upgrade today that might fix a few things.
@squirreleater: the internet register option is definitely needed. I agree.
anyone from germany?
feature request: please include option to add user with the username directly so that people from here can invite eachother other than searching on the map

Wont install on my Hero ??

NEED HELP!!
I've been using Merck Medicus since Windows Mobile. AWESOME APP!!! I have it for both my iPhone and Android tablet. So, when I updated my iPhone a few months ago and it deleted the database without so much as a warning, I was more than a little pissed. Months later, still no update and no content. I should let you know I'm a flight paramedic... so offline file access is essential. Not much internet above the clouds.
So, I blocked internet access from the app on my tablet using the Avast firewall and (obviously) haven't updated it. I upgraded from CM7 to CM9 and was able to preserve everything using Titanium Backup BUT... my Harrison's Clinical Database appears to be corrupt. When I serach topics in Harrison's I get "This item could not be displayed due to an error". Of course, it wants me to re-download the database (not an option as it will clear out all the data and replace it with a "we're updating this app to make it better... in the meantime you don't get squat" message).
Does anyone have a working copy of this app with that database they can help me out with? It should be in /unbound_medicine/Mmmo/z_Harrison's Practice_Mmmo.pdb
To be clear here: I'm looking for a database file for a free app... this not a request for anything pirated.
And to those of you who have the app... DON'T UPDATE!! If you don't have it already, there's not much point right now to downloading it as there is no content available.
Need help from you who need help!
I'm having the same problem. Actually mine is even worse because when i uptated to CM9, for some reason, my Titanium Backup didn't work with Merck Medicus and i dont have any package installed!

Why does it need Internet connection and my location? Looks suspicious.
I would have purchased the pro version, but the permissions it asks for include location and full internet access.
Sorry, I don't buy programs that ask for those permissions.
If you will remove the crapware and malware from the pro version, I'd be happy to buy it.

Hm...I can't see the video here at work, but I'd still rather have a version that didn't have all that stuff. I'd be happier with just allowing the app to save the files someplace that a dedicated app can get to it for doing those functions.
Guess I've become a minimalist after having to fix my wife's phone so many times. I no longer like apps that appear to require more permissions than are obviously necessary to accomplish the task. This looks like it might be a great app, and I'd be happy to pay the cash for it, but only if it's an offline app that saves files locally for other, dedicated apps to synchronize with whatever service you desire.
Okay, update: I had a friend check the video. It looks to him like the author is using a Chinese-language phone.
I'm a security professional. Perhaps you didn't read about the Android Trojans that have been found on Chinese apps last week by Lookout. Also perhaps you don't know that China has a cyber-warfare unit that actively attempts to compromise systems in other countries. Heck, look at what they did to Google!
Again, sorry, but I'm not going to put an app on my phone that's asking for all of those permissions.
Dev, I'm sure that you've put a lot of time and effort into your app. I'd love to purchase it, if you'll put out a version that doesn't ask for those other permissions, so that I'd feel safe in using it.
Thanks
Nice app, will be great for flowcharts.

Hope there was an option that allow users play only 1 Flash content on heavy Flash Page like firefox add-on: flashblock, it's dissable all flash content and when you want to see it, just click on it.
working great so far. wish u can change the color of that highlight that comes up when u move your finger along the screen.
@moisesdc650, if we get enough requests, we'll be able to change the color...I just want to be honest with you... =) In the meanwhile, would you tell me what color you like? ^_^
can you just remove ALL the chinese affiliated links like 3g.qq.com, baidu etc from the address bar?
it clutters and looks very unprofessional.
btw, why would the browser need to have permission to take pictures?
@mystifiyer, thanks for your feedback, the suggested Chinese links will be removed no later than the next release, which is scheduled to be early March. I am working hard to see if we can remove them early and publish another version before next release.
The picture taking feature is one of our very unique features, which allows you to take a picture and save it as your browser avatar, and sync it to your desktop browser. Some users dont find it useful, while many of them like it. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope you can understand our rationale behind it. =)
I'm falling in love with this browse
@ruhmu, thanks....=)
You guys just earned yourself the spot as my default browser. Glad I could help you. Just curious if you could possibly try to improve startup times? It isn't a big deal and it is hard to measure because of the way that android manages tasks but it seems to be a little slow on the initial startup.

Bug Report!
I was browsing a news site and had opened a few tabs (I think 5 were open) and one of them was a review on an app, so I opened Market to try it out. I searched it and hit install, and then switched over to Maxthon to finish reading while it downloaded. Instead of having my tabs open like I left it, it showed the black screen as if I had killed it and it was restarting (I guess the system must've killed it) but then it started into my RSS feeds list and is stuck there now. If I hit the back button on my phone or in the app it goes back to the market instead of going back into the browser.
/edit: I opened it with the icon instead of the task switcher and it opened to my tabs like I had them. So it only gets locked in the RSS reader screen if I try to switch tasks.

Maxthon: You mentioned that Maxthon installs into sdcard if it's 2.2 or higher? But I supposed not.
From the above screenshot, you see that Maxthon is still in my phone memory taking up 3.92MB. A check in my Applications setting also show Maxthon is in phone memory.
If an app is in sdcard, it should look like this...
Notice Miren Browser uses 2.14MB, but that's in my sdcard, so I'm fine.
Maybe you can look into moving Maxthon data into sdcard too?

[App] Network Tools

Hi!
I have created a new application, Network Tools.
Basic idea of this app is periodic monitoring of websites, servers, routers, surveillance systems, etc. After a specified period of time the resource is checked, in case of failure user will get a warning. Such control will allow you to respond quickly to encountered problems.
You can add new resource to monitoring list, select the type and time interval between checks. At any time you can change the settings or manually check for a specific host. The corresponding commands are available on the context menu.
App contains additional tools: whois, ping and traceroute, for diagnosing network problems. For these commands there are implemented lists of previously entered addresses, so user does not need to retype them again.
Free, no ads.

Great Work!!!
Please don't take this as anything against the app, but if any admin actually relies on an app like this as the only monitoring solution for critical 24/7 servers, they should be dragged behind the woodshed and paddled. It has NOTHING to do with the app, rather the fact that mobile networks are simply not 100% viable.
That said, when there are issues (power, network etc..) with other monitoring systems, this is a FANTASTIC option. This will be part of my Android install kit forever.
I have a couple of requests:
1. A scrollable widget that shows the last result for each server/test would be cool. I will give you a full screen on my phone! ;-)
2. I need to test specific services: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH. Additional service options and maybe an option to manually define ports/services would be really nice. Customers of mine that have security camera systems using a DVR often forward random ports for external access to the DVR and it would add "peace of mind" for them to be able to see that their security system is up and running.

Sure, nobody says about critical servers monitoring.
In actual app version you can use Generic TCP option with URL like http://site.com:3128, or HTTP Get option with fully qualified URL to make some tests. I understand, this is not complete test of concrete service, and have plans to add more to my app.
Now I'm busy with another private application, but, I hope, this is not forever.
By the way, you say about test services like HTTP, FTP or SSH. What exactly do you think should make the application? Any ideas are welcome.
very cool app thanks mate.
