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.

F8,

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

@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.

[APP][4.1+]Receipt (Updated 19-Apr)

Receipt is a small utility I made as part of my quest to learn programming.
It lets you create shopping lists and see your spending stats.
I'm preparing to release version 1.2 to the play store, but I need to test it for a while to make sure it's bug free.
So now, I'm releasing a beta of version 1.2. Version 1.2 brings a few new features. Among the big ones are :
4.3 and 4.4 compatibility.
A global monthly budget can now be defined; this is in addition to the per list limits already available since version 1.
Tags can now be assigned for each item. This lets you see spending by category in the stats tab.
Lists can now be sent to other people via the standard sharing menu.
If you come across any bugs or strange behavior while testing let me know by posting on this thread or through:
Google+
Twitter
This beta drops support for 4.0 and requires 4.1+. I'm currently having some issues with ICS, but hopefully I'll manage to fix them and restore 4.0 compatibility before releasing the final version.
Get the beta on the Play Store (via Google+), or by downloading the attached apk.
Not ready to test the beta? Get the current version on the play store.

COOL ! really nice looking app, will give it a go !
Thanks

Hey congrats this is a beautiful app, if you want help to translate it to another languages i can help you, my mother tongue is spanish

Thanks.
Mulțumesc pentru aplicație, mă bucur să văd aplicații făcute de români!

This is awesome.
Only a few devs(and sadly not the bigger players) comply with Android Design Guidelines nowadays.
I will try the functionality as soon as I flash PAC.
Again, thanks for being a great developer and not rebelling against Android Design Guidelines.

Nice app. Can we get the ability to switch between light and dark themes?

Very nice app !
And looks awesome !

Nice :X

Re: [APP][4.0+]Receipt
Really nice looking, hope I have a budget I must maintain soon so I could give it a go
And may I give an advise/recommend a feature: let the user have a preset tax amount. Since most States here in US (or around the world) have different tax rates... so by the time you get to the checkout everything is added up correctly and kept on budget
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2

Really nice app. One thing though Since I'm living in Sweden it would be nice with some more currencies, in my case SEK. Can also help with translation if needed.

Thanks...nice app

Hi, I've tested your app. It's Very good but I missed some features.
First, for every purchase you do, the app should made a Product list in the background with all Products you've ever bought. Maybe depends on Mall. (An extra box for Malls?) So you can calculate how much your purchase will cost.
Second, how about a total amount per Month? How many money do you paid per Month, for example?
And another thing, may i can help you to translate it in German?

Open source?
Impressive. Is it open source? I'd like to contribute to it.

NICE...downloading now. We'll give some feedback in after a couple days usage!
Rich K.

when I changed from euro sign to dollar sign app crushed!
anyway app is looking very nice! looking forward to get new versions!

Awesome app!
Quick question : What library did you used to create the graph?

Found a little bug while doing some stress testing.
I set the budget to 1€, and added two massive values to the receipt.
The result was a negative total, thus not triggering the budget warning.

[APP][2.2+] Tangerine Personal Finance v3.4.x

Tangerine Personal Finance​
Welcome to Tangerine. The reason why I wrote this app was simple. The previous bills app I was using, tended to not notify me correctly and barely showed me any sort of data that was relevant to my finances. Tangerine takes this little issue and focuses on showing you all the details pertaining to your finances. Tangerine shows you all of your upcoming and overdue bills. It keeps track of your account balances(set your balance and watch it keep track). It helps you breakdown(by category, by days/weeks and by top expenses) your finances based on the dates you have chosen.
It is a rather slow growing application since I do not currently have disposable Income to promote using Ads and whatnot. Hence, here I am asking for your help to get Tangerine a little bit higher up the charts. I am continuously updating it with new features and new updates based on what my users require. Hence if you have a suggestion for Tangerine, please shoot me a PM, post in this thread, or simply email me using the report bug inside settings. I am fairly good at responding fast.
Tangerine Free version does NOT contain any Ads but does come with certain functionalists being blocked in it. I did not limit any transactions or any types of recurring bills. The things that are limited as strictly settings, and a few aspects of multiple account. Ergo you can use it as a daily drive as a bills app without worrying about adding too many transactions.
P.S if anyone has any ideas on how to promote, feel free to post them I am always open to suggestions.

Not a problem will be sending out a few major updates in the next few days

I have been finding the free app really useful so i bought the paid app.
Would per bill notification times be coming down the pipeline?
So far this is the only I have found comparable to a defunct iOS app I used previously "Bills on My Table"
Without the unnecessary cloud syncing.
Keep up the good work.

I shall definitely look in to this. Could you please elaborate on the type of notifications you require. Please give me an example of what you are requesting.
On the other hand, expect a new update in the next day or so with a good surprise.

Basically having certain bill notify me the morning that the bill is due and some bills notify me a couple of days before. IE. My phone bill I can pay that day and not get dinged. Where as my credit card sometimes takes a couple of days to process the payment after I make the payment.

Hi, this looks like a really great app! But, im having a few problems. First off, I input a future transaction and its automatically taking the transaction out of my balance before the date its due (as soon as i save it). i have tried different dates, categories and amounts it it will still randomly do it to random bills. The other problem is that it will force close when i try and clear all the transactions to start over again. I am on 4.4.2 CM 11. Note i717

For your first question regarding transactions:
When entering a transaction, the time, date, amount, category are independent of each other. If you in the transaction as paid in Transaction Type, the amount will be deducted from your account regardless of the time and date when the transaction was inputted. Therefore in order to create a future unpaid transaction, please make sure to select Unpaid in the transaction type in the add transaction screen.
Regarding your Force close issue:
Thank you for informing me of that issue. The update will be published in the next few minutes. Google Play takes a few hours to send the update out. It was a bug that was fixed in the paid but accidentally forgotten in the free version. Thank you again.

ALPHA COMING SOON! IN PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT STAGE.
My inspiration for this app is I got tired of having to use a calculator and figuring out my total hours for the week, and then trying to figure out what my paycheck is going to be based on my hours and taxes, etc. So I am creating an app that will do all that and much more, while still looking beautiful. While I am still in the planning stage, I want to get early feedback and suggestions, which I why I'm posting on here so early.

Thanks! I'll be posting updates every day or two to keep everyone up to speed on the development process!

10/16 Progress Update
Hey Everyone! Here's a small progress update for you.
The main paycheck screen is coming along nicely, no functionality yet, but it's a proof of concept. -
The "Add A Job" screen is also coming along, this will be one of the first screens you see when you start the app for the first time. -
I will be working late tonight to get some functionality into both of these screens! Hope everyone has a good evening!

This app looks great. Will it be possible to be able to have multiple jobs? For example, I work at 5 different locations for the same company but my pay is separate and I need to keep track of each one.

Yes! While it may not be in the earlier alpha/beta builds, it will be in the final public release!
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk

Interesting... Following...

10/18 Update
Here I am with another update! Everything is going as expected, the "Add New Job" screen is functioning and working as expected. I have started work on the "Add Hours" screen (See Picture) so I can start working on getting the "My Paycheck" screen up and running. I have changed the color scheme for this screen to give it a little flare. I think it looks pretty good so far. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE tell me! I don't have to work tomorrow I will be spending a good chunk of the day on this. Thanks for following!

Looks good! Thanks

10/19 Update
Update time again! I didn't get as much done today as I wanted, but that's ok. I mainly worked on the Add Hours screen, getting some functionality into it. The main issue I have ran into is the time stuff, that starts to get tricky when it comes to 3rd shift and such. I may make it a manual hour and minute input for the beginning of the alpha and betas, which shouldn't be a big deal. But other than that, here is a screenshot!

Not sure why, but I can't see my last post. Anyways, here's a screenshot of the current progress!

10/21 Update
Back with another update, as you can see from the first picture, I had to change the way you add hours a bit until I get some help with the time entering, (tricky stuff). I will have full functionality, including saving, done by tomorrow night, then on to the main screen! I also did a quick little thing with the intro screen to get some ideas, (second picture). Let me know if you have any ideas or questions!

10/23
Friday Update! The Add Hours page is working and temporarily complete. I didn't get much done today because I had to work and I have to work tomorrow also. I am primarily focusing on the main paycheck screen now, once I get that functioning, I will be close to releasing the first closed Alpha version! (If you are a Android or iOS developer, please message me, I am looking for help with this project on Android and iOS. Any help is appreciated.)

I have added a small poll to this thread, if you could take 5 seconds and select which option you would like better. Google Play Alpha/Beta testing (automatic updates), or a 3rd party (Fabric.io) with semi-automatic updates. Thanks!

What happened?

Nope! I did take a small break from the project due to schoolwork, in the next week or so, I will be continuing development with hopefully an Alpha coming soon after that! [emoji2]

Yes this is a good idea for an app, I want it to.

If I can get the login flow completed today, I "might" get the Alpha going tonight. I will let everyone know tonight!

Good News!
I am get ready to upload v0.0.1 Alpha to the Google Play Store! Tomorrow morning (As long as everything goes as planned) I will be releasing the first Alpha version. I have my crash reporting and analytics tools ready to go. Please note: The first versions will be very limited in terms of usage. Only 1 job will be supported for now, all the hours will be grouped into the same card, (Will be separated very soon). The payday and pay period will be implemented soon also.
This is an Alpha, many, many features aren't implemented yet, I will have a full todo type list coming out soon.
Thanks Everyone for your support!

[APP][2.3+] Chip In - A smarter way of splitting bills

Intro
Most "bills splitting" apps out there only provide marginally useful information: when you are done using them, you know that A owes you X, B owes you Y and you owe Z to C. Then, probably, A owes something to B as well, and maybe C owes something else to B. Why is it all so complicated? You just wanted to split a few bills!
Chip In provides an alternative to that: follow a few simple steps, and you'll be splitting bills in no time!
First, add as many people as needed (i.e. your friends) using
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, for each friend, add the bills they paid for (using
). When adding a bill, you can specify both the amount of money spent, and the people splitting that bill: this way, you can even add expenses that only involve a part of the people.
When you are done adding bills, the numbers next to each person is the amount of money they should receive: people with negative balances should each place the displayed amount of money in a common plate. Then, people with positive balances each take the displayed amount of money from the common plate.
Still not clear? Here's a quick example.
The quick example
Alice, Bob and Charlie go for a picnic. Alice brings $15 worth of food, Bob bring $10 worth of beverages, and Charlie brings a $5 cake. Incidentally, only Alice and Charlie eat the cake, since Bob is on a strict diet.
What they do next is use Chip In to split the expenses:
Three people are added (Alice, Bob and Charlie).
A bill is added for Alice: $15 to divide between Alice, Bob and Charlie.
A second bill is then added for Bob: $10 to split among the three of them once again.
Finally, the third bill is added for Charlie: $5 to divide between Alice and Charlie.
At this point, the final balances are:
Alice: +4.17
Bob: +1.67
Charlie: -5.83​This means that Charlie needs to take $5.83 out of his pocket and figuratively place it on a common plate: Alice and Bob then proceed to take $4.17 and $1.67 from it. After that, the plate should be empty (actually, because of rounding operations, there may be some cents left/missing!).
Think of what would've happened without Chip In:
Alice would have owed $3.33 to Bob, and $2.5 to Charlie, and would have expected to receive $5 from both Bob and Charlie.
Bob would have owed $5 to Alice, and would have expected $3.33 from both Alice and Charlie.
Charlie would have owed $5 to Alice and $3.33 to Bob, and would have expected $2.5 from Alice.
Sigh.
On the algorithm
This algorithm has been successfully used multiple times to split road trip and holiday bills between three engineer friends (who else could've come up with it?), and was eventually formalized by one of them (i.e. myself) with this app.
The underlying algorithm is actually rather simple, and basically assumes that there's a common fund everybody is using. People paying for something are taking money away from the common fund, and everybody should contribute to the part of the fund that is used to buy something regarding them. Converting those notions to mathematical formulas is almost trivial. But, since you don't need any of this to use the app, I won't bore you with the details!
At first, using Chip In may seem a little counterintuitive, but it takes little time to get the hang of it! And, at that point, splitting bills will be the funniest part of the holiday*!

Notes
Please keep in mind that, although the app version is 1.x, many new features are yet to come: I am already working on them! If you have any particular request let me know, and I will try to add as many as possible (provided that the ratio #ofRequestsForFeature/ComplexityOfFeature is large enough )
Current TODO list
Store sessions on main memory
Parse simple math expressions for the "amount" field
Improve overall graphics
Support multiple languages (EN, IT available so far)

Is this an app that splits multiple bills? or just one bill in multiple ways?

It certainly can split multiple bills (and that's when this app is most useful). You can enter as many bills as you want, specify who paid for each of them and who should share each expense and, when you're done, you get a list of numbers: those are the amounts that every person should put (negative balance) or take (positive balance).
If you read the example reported above, I'm sure you'll understand how it works in no time!
Also, what exactly does 'multiple ways' mean? I'm not sure I can answer your question if you don't give me a better insight on what you meant by that!
Hope this helped!

Why is there a take when its a bill to pay? thats the one thing I dont understand. Shouldnt it be negative all the way?

There actually is an assumption I may not have mentioned before, thank you for pointing it out!
The assumption is that, for each bill / expense, one of the people in the group has already paid for it in advance! This app's main goal is that of splitting already paid bills among different people.
But, since you mentioned it, I'm going to explain briefly (I will elaborate as soon as I can) how you can split bills that still have to be paid among different people:
1) add people
2) add bills (the same way you would add people)
3) for each bill, specify the price, and select the people sharing it (make sure you do not select the bill itself (or any other bill) when selecting people
Let's say that Alice, Bob and Charlie are roommates. At the end of the month, they need to split some bills (Internet $25, electricity $20) three ways. Moreover, Bob and Charlie need to pay for a new desk ($36) they are going to share.
You can now use this "new" method explained above, where you enter people and bills in the same screen.
What you get eventually is the following screen (if it's not clear how I got there, please let me know!)
[the following screenshots are rather large: I wrapped them all using the 'hide' tag!)
While this is useful, my app was created for a different (yet similar) purpose. In the same scenario described above, let's say that Charlie decided to pay for everything, and now wants to receive what is due.
Using the app (and the "standard" method), he gets to this point
As you can seen, what Alice and Bob are required to pay is the same, but now Charlie will receive the "extra" money he used to pay the bills (i.e. the part of money he "lent" Alice and Bob).
Some more twisted example may have Alice pay for the electricity bill, Bob for Internet and Charlie for the new desk. In this case, when they want to settle things, the result would look like the following:
In this last case, Bob will have to put $8; Alice and Charlie will then take $5 and $3 respectively.
I really hope this clears it up: if it doesn't, please keep asking! You already made me realize I didn't stress some parts enough, I'd love to know if there is more!
