Request to develop basic app: Sobriety/Clean-time counter - Android Apps and Games

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I wondered if there were any developers out there up for creating an app for android. What I am on about is a "Sobriety Counter" type app. The iphone has one it's called "Friends of Bill"
It is basically just a counter, you would type in a date and time and it continues counting from that date.
Would be great to get on on my android phone! and I'm sure loads of other people would be interested in this, as I see a lot of people in na/aa meetings who have the iphone one.
Cheers!
Oli

I might be able to make something after Im done with my next app

I was about to put one together, but then I did a search for Android apps and found this: hxxp://listandroidapps.com/2010/09/06/android-apps/lifestyle-android-apps/12-steps-aa-companion-android-app/
Doesn't it do what you need?

Do you need something THAT specific? There's a Day and Time app that does this sort of thing too..
http://www.appbrain.com/app/daysanddate/com.deskangel.DaysAndDate
You put in a date and can save it and you can see time since/time to.. And it's a great date calculator on the fly, ie: What's the date 50 days from now, etc.

Hi, thanks for the replies. That AA app looks great, but doesnt have a counter on it, and the Daysanddate too, ive installed it, very useful, but what I am talking about is like a constant running counter. This is a screenshot of the iphone one:
hxxp://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/045/Purple/57/63/f6/mzl.fdnllajk.320x480-75.jpg
Any counter like this would be great, but would be cool if it could say like "This is your clean time: "
Thanks a lot guys!
Oli

Or does anyone know an app that already does just a basic counter. Set a date/time and it continues counting.

First attempt:
It displays a counter and you can reset it.
The sponsor stuff does not work yet, and it's butt-ugly because it's a proof of concept.
Get it from this page (second link): http://nexus.zteo.com/projects/beta/

Thanks so much man!!
Really like the way you've added the sponsor part into it. That is such a great idea. I would definately use that option.
Need to be able to enter date and time from when first got sober, then the counter continuously counting from then. So when you open the app it will say the amount of sober years/months/weeks/days/hours/mins/secs from the original Date/Time entered. Anyway of making the counter visually carry on counting when it's open too?
The oops button you included would be good too! I wont ever have to use it though (fingers crossed!)
Amazing for first attempt man. This really could become something great! I know it will be popular in the recovery community, I know a lot of friends who will use this.

I uploaded a new version.
It looks a bit better and the "Call sponsor" feature should work.
Still not happy with the overall look, especially the layout of the buttons. There is no sense of which ones are more important.
Also: the counter, albeit counting ok, actually can display weird stuff. Hrm.

Cool! Will install it when I get home.
The most important thing is to able to manually enter a time and date, then the counter will continuously count from that time and date. E.g for me I will want to enter 10am 07/07/10, and when the app is open it will display the elapsed time since then.
Is it possible to make the counter carry on counting when the app is open too?
Thanks a lot for this!

OK. Listened, added, skinned.
Please re-download it, have a look at the help, let me know.
Cheers!

Love it!!!!
Looks awesome man! Really really grateful for this!! This is exactly like I was describing! Really this is great though man! Impressed. Now I have the icon on my homescreen it is the quickest way to actually call my sponsor 2 clicks, instead of going to contacts, etc!
Couple of things, I really like the "Token" option, is it possible to select image from gallery as well as take picture?
Also could you put it as "You have been clean and sober for:"
Would it be OK to send the link to this thread to some of my friends online who would be interested in this and could help test it out?

I will add the picture gallery at some point, for sure.
And I will change the text too.
Sure, tell your friends about it; it's free and I will soon upload it to the android market.

I can put it on the market for ya if you want so it can receive updates and such. Also would benefit other users. PM me if you want!

Captainkrtek, thanks for your offer. I already have a market account though so it took me only a few moments to upload it (90% of that spent lamenting Google's new requirement for a 512x512 "icon"!)
For anyone interested, the latest version is now available on the market. Look for "Sobriety counter."

This should be on the newsfeed! Awesome app!

Thanks

Widgets
Coming very soon (need to run regression testing and that's it): Widgets.
As discreet -- or not -- as you want them to be. I'm thinking three different widgets:

Hi, I have found a slight bug, thought I would report it. If you open the App and then exit it just using the back button, then when you open the app again the time hasn't continued counting. It has paused during the time when the app was closed (running in the background). The only way to sort it out at the moment is to use Taskiller, then when you open it again it is working normally. So if you could possibly fix it so that it carries on counting when the app is closed and running in the background.
Widgets sound great, again a great development!
I have shown a few people this app now and spreading the word, a lot of people want it on their phones. My friend has actually decided to upgrade her phone to an android phone simply so she can have this app!! Cleantime is a very important thing to people in recovery, so this app is brilliant!

Good catch.
I just updated the market app. with a fix for this.

Basic calendar program?

Well basically I'm just looking for a extremely simple calendar program for my 8125 that acts just like a regular paper calendar would.
I'm looking for it to be a month view, then you click on a date in that month and enter in what you are doing/need to do that day just like you would writing on a regular calendar.
I'm not looking for any alarms, reminders, or anything like that.
So if anyone knows of anything, please let me know.
Isn't the calendar built into Windows Mobile good enough?
If it was, I wouldnt be asking now would I?
I'm looking for something way more basic than the one thats built into WM5.
I'm not a power user so I don't have a ton of things I want to put into the calendar.
This is all I want from a calendar:
Tap the date I want to put the note on.
Type in what it is I'm doing that day and what time it begins and ends manually. ie: Lunch with Lindsay @ 1:00, Dentist appointment @ 4:00
And save.
Is there anything like that, or can I get the one with WM5 to work like that?
you might want to check out spb diary - it's not as complex as some other alternatives,, and can do a lot of what you ask from the today screen...

I rather agree with PaulK_CMF, isn't the one in WM5 easy enough? What is so complex about the WM5 version? You click on the Calendar, you get different views, just go to the month view and you can see those days that you have/not events. Click on the specific date, you get the day view. Scroll up and down for the time you wanted to add the event, click and hold, New Appointment, give it a name, time. That's ALL! There is nothing POWER to it. If you think that is powerful, you should see the Informant Calendar. That is cool.
Or perhaps, you can tell us, of which part do you think it is complex?
Alright, well the WM5 calendar might not be powerful...but it's more than what I want.
Like I said I just want something very basic that I click on the date add what I want and save.
I don't want to put times, I don't want to make titles I don't want anything extra. I just want it to be just like a regular wall calendar. Only on my PDA...
What you're after might not exist. :?
Developers want to improve on what WM offers, not provide something that does less.

Yea, still not what I want. Thanks for the heads up though...
And bump this to the top for hope that something like this exists...
still looking for this program, if anyone knows of anything please post!
im in the same boat, everything ive tried has been too complicated for what it is, and i want something very similar to windows rainlender calendar app.
looks good, not a plugin, easy noting on a date, month view.
yep, that's exactly what i want...
it really can't be that hard to code a program like that if you're a programmer.
someone out there should make us one, haha...
Sounds like you want Google calendar, of course it's useless if you don't have a data plan but Google calendar works exactly like what you are saying.
Oh, http://www.google.com/calendar/m
The mobile version is not the same as the standard, thought I would throw that out there.
Yea, I've already tried google calendar and it's not bad on the PC, but I don't like the mobile version. Plus I'd like something that doesn't require being connected to the net since I would have to wait for it to connect, wait for the page to load and so on...
Thanks for recommending though...
Possible Alternative
I've been on the lookout for something very simple as well, though not quite this simple (Datebook+ on the Handspring Visor is my all time fave).
Here's an idea: there are many note taking apps that will display a thumbnail view of several notes at once. It might take some setup time, but you could use the text entry option, give each note a day or week in the larger collection (month) and then directly edit.
One example:
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1251
Not the best option... but a thought. I'll keep my eye out for this one.
I always thought that IntumiCal was nice but overpriced (I'm a cheapskate). Now the company that was making IntumiCal is kerplop. Would it be possible/legal for someone to take the torch on as a opensource app (assuming they could get the source code)?

AutoKiller minfree manager

Hi,
I have released my minfree manager. this app is designed to help make your phone run smoother
AutoKiller 0.8.2b

- pages/mb views
come on, check the main thread.
0.8.2b is released
0.9b is out, go get it
Thank you for the app.
I have a few suggestions:
-Presets are applied automatically without having to press apply. This is an inconvenient way to see what the settings are.
-The statistics should be uploaded before app exit when settings are finalized as opposed to each time a setting is applied. (When switching through presets this is a double whammy)
-When the keyboard is flipped on the G1 it resets, settings are applied, and the Start up dialog is displayed.
I have v .09
Keep up the good work!
This software is really a godsend. I've never bothered with most of the "Task Killer" programs for exactly the reason AutoKiller was created: Android already has a way to manage memory.
Never occurred to me that the parameters were adjustable though, so thanks for thinking of it and making a useful utility!
Can we exclude apps from being killed, such as the Alarm Clock, etc? Super important for those of us that want to keep out jobs
Clock shouldn't be killed by this automatic killer.
It should be one of the most important tasks on android.

I would like to know too. It keeps killing the email app. Hence I never got any email notifications after a while
I would imagine that the idea of "excluding" apps fro this doesn't make any sense or is even feasible, since it isn't artificially killing apps, rather it is adjusting when Android kills apps, I guess you could add some sort of "keep in memory" option like most new launcher apps have but I doubt the efficacy of those options nor do I know if they can be set via an outside app or whether that must be coded into the app itself...
If its killing off apps you need and use frequently, it sounds like you should lower your presets a notch or two. ie. Optimal instead of Strict
Or let Android do it for you.....

Thats fine, you do that. Some of us like that we can do as we wish with our phones to make them even faster.
Why would you even bother posting? Maybe iPhone is the device for you if you like things handed to you and you just take it? ;-)
Don't pick on the poor guy. I mean, come on-- he has like one of the only unrooted nexus one's in existence. That obviously makes him special in the shortbus sort of way and you simply cannot make fun of special people.
Oh, and I love autokiller. Keep up the good work, Ratson!

Yep, some people have real work to do with their phone, not install random things on it.. So far my "need to root" list is pretty short.
Shortbus.. Not even going to bother on that one.
I forgot, you're too busy trolling and making blackmoor uglier. If you don't like the guy's work, then gtfo because apparently several things are shorter than your list of reasons to root like your imagination, charm, and the micro mini between your legs that causes you to tear down legitimate work that apparently you don't understand. Google didn't engineer a one size fits all solution-- they created an ingenious flexible, scalable open source platform that could be modified into a near infinite combination of solutions to fit any need based on the requirements of oem, carrier, and the hardware itself.
Can we get back on the topic?, which is the app. not who like what how.

anyone knows how to exclude the alarmclock from the killing? I need it to wake me up.....

Live Watches (SE LiveView)

EDIT, 05/15/11:
Note: You will only care about this app. if you own a Sony Ericsson LiveWatch device!
v1.2
* Now with several more, aesthetically pleasing watch faces and hands
* Upload your own png file as /sdcard/livewatch.png (girlfriend picture, pet, etc.) -- Beware! The LiveView device is very picky with encoding, color set, etc.
* Flashligt! (Why not?) Click the select button, then touch the top border.

***
I am going to talk about a plug-in I wrote for the Sony Ericsson LiveView.
However, if you guys wish to discuss development for that device or how to make it work better, this is also welcome because it is both intriguing and under-represented (and a bit maddening at times)
Anyway, I was flabbergasted when I realized that there isn't any straightforward "watch" plug-in for the LiveView so in a couple hours I figured out how to use the SDK and created one.
I am not releasing it yet and I will only make it available it there is interest for it and I get the appropriate permissions from the people whose art I have used for this proof of concept app.
By the way, more face and hands art would be welcome!
A few (terrible) screenshots:
My LiveView was sent from the website i ordered it from, today=) I would really such an addon=)
And i can make you some artwork if i get something to work with=)
Oh, that's good.
I hope it works well for you. The device losing its pairing can be quite aggravating.
On the other hand it is a breeze to develop for; actually simpler than writing a home screen widget.
A friend of mine got it last week and said that he had lost his pairing once since he got it set up.
To me no development is a breeze i know squat about programing
But as said i would love to make you some graphics you could use so that you can release this=)
^^
I just received a sms from my post office that my LiveView had arrived
and here are a little graphic preview of some artwork you might use(?) It shows the whole thing, background, minute hand and hour hand=)
I really think you should release this addon
Ha! I like it a lot, in fact.
Can you post it as three files as described at http://www.voilaweb.com/lv_faq#createtheme?
Oh, and I updated the OP with a link to the beta apk
Will do, Just have to make some minor changes as the big and short hand are the same. and also added some indicators on the clock face.
Edit: Also, will you support this addon? i mean like bugs and stuff?
I guess, I will have to, yes
So, anyone go any feedback for me?
hey man.
i just installed your app from market and it's looking great.
i guess you can make a clock with digits or maybe a digital one.
it still disconnects but at least i have a watch
one other thing maybe you can ad an always on screen option
MrJay, first off, thanks for your feedback
The "always on" option would be nice but I invite you to think about this some more...say until your device dies on you because its damn battery is already too weak for the plug-in's current version
EDIT: OK I really don't want to sound negative. The device is really nice. I just wish it had better connectivity and battery life.
In fact, the tricks I read on how to force it to reconnect using AutomateIt, etc., end up sucking battery life like crazy.
The only thing i have to say about this addon, is that its a bit slow to update when i wake the screen. might take a sec before the clock shows the correct time.
Other than that, i love it
Thanks Marius.
Yes, I know about the 1 sec. delay it's due to sending as few updates to the device as possible, to improve battery life.
But maybe I could slightly alter this behavior for a "wake up" event.
BTW, I hope you guys are using the version from the market! It's free, but more likely to get updates than the one on my blog.

i stopped using automateit. it didn't do that much and yes you're right about the crappy battery life .
anyway keep up the good job. it's a nice to have application.
I ordered one of these devices today after seeing this post, fantastic plugin! this is perfect for when I'm at work, seeing as I work outside and don't have time to check my phone for any updates, much less the time. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Where can I order this I'm interested I live in California if that makes a difference
Well, Spitfire, so do I. I ordered from these guys: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E2V4NM and it was shipped from Florida.
Have you updated this with any new themes?
Ive been away over the easter and haven checked in here for about 2 weeks. also i've been flashing a lot of ROMs lately so havent gotten to hook up my liveview yet. Will look in to it today th0=)
Can someone make a theme like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib9GTkImEwQ&feature=player_embedded#at=20
(watch the video it has a bunch of different themes as well)

Awesome design. I fear that the LiveView's limited resolution will not be able to display something this complex, though. Not even something as good-looking as a TikTok

Will check this out, thanks!
I've been waiting for an app like this since I tried Appy geek, and it's finally here
After a short test, I like it. It needs more sources though, is there an option to find them, just I can't see it, or is it left for future builds?
Push notifications would be nice, in the future, for now it's rather good as it is!
Edit: I have first posted, and then saw that you've already mentioned sources. For starters, I would add Auto Express and Autocar videos.
I'll keep using the app and give more info in the future Thumbs up!

Update notifications are working fine on my SGS4 (though I turned them off this morning).
Used the app during my commute this morning. Working great. Already shared a few links.
I'm thinking that it would be nice to be able to toggle notifications by feed. Say like I just wanted to know when Car and Driver, and Road & Track were updated, but not others.

I haven't got many posts, so I still have restriction when it comes to posting (and editing my posts) speed, sorry for confusing posts...
I didn't get notifications yet, but give it just a bit more time (it's possible that I've changed something outside of the app, so it could be my bad). I'll report on this again.
I'm sure plenty of people would be interested in tuner sites rss, so this could be nice to add, but it can wait (because that will probably demand special category if you put in many sources).
Also, if you need beta testers, I'm your man

I've tried the app on both tablet, and a phone, and it looks good on both. One thing surprised me - my phone has KitKat on it, no flash, yet it seems I've played a pure flash video from the app (it wasn't in videos section, but a part of the article).

[APP][4.1+] AppChat - A chat room for every app on your phone (Alpha)

Hi everyone, this is a bit of a crazy idea we hacked together over the past few days. It automatically puts you in a chat room for every app you have installed on your phone so you can talk in real time with everyone else who has the same app. We're releasing it as a an early alpha to get feedback, i.e. is this totally dumb or kind of fun? :good::cyclops:
UPDATE 5: We're now in *BETA* as of version 1.3. Just added user profiles, wallpapers, auto translation of messages to your language, and a lot more. Hope you like it!
UPDATE: Also in the play store now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.larvalabs.myapps
UPDATE2: Just uploaded a new build to the play store with the following new stuff:
* Clickable links in messages
* Like button with like count!
* Fixed a bunch of screenshot sharing bugs
* More messages visible per chat
* Spam filtering and banning based on flagging messages
* Crash fixes
UPDATE3: Another quick update just posted to the store: v1.02. It lets you delete your own messages, a big user request after a few mistaken screenshot posts. We're also working on a lot of behind the scenes Troll Control(tm) and other improvements to the app.
UPDATE4: Just posted v1.2 which includes device chats (I'm in "Nexus 6 chat" for example) and "watching" rooms to let you be notified of every new message in a room.
Still working on stuff, but thought we should get that out there immediately. Hopefully even if you installed the APK directly you'll get the update.

Here’s some more features:
We automatically detect which app a screenshot is for and offer to upload it to that chat.
Swipe in from the bottom right of your screen when in any app and you can jump straight to the chat for that app.
All the usual chat stuff: you can like messages, mention users, etc.
Hope you like it, let me know if you have suggestions or feature requests!
Great APP!
Good for now :good:
Will report if something.
haha nice
Great idea I like your app
Thanks for the positive feedback so far everyone, it's been fun hanging out in calculator chat, haha.
I've seen a couple bugs that we're working on, but nothing too bad. Probably see how it goes tomorrow and do an update if needed. Thanks again.
Omg...who came up with this great idea...this needs to be featured on xda...hope it doesn't die
Awesome, glad you're liking it! It's definitely an experiment right now, but obviously the more people who use it the better it gets. I could see it being used for asking for help with an app or game (how do I get past this level?), trading high scores, talking about new versions of an app, etc.
The apk link has the wrong mime-type set server side. At least in Firefox this causes it to open as a text document.
Great idea and I definitely will give this a try.
This is genius.
You should add a search function, to quickly find apps you want to chat about. Also maybe a sort option, like sorting by most recent messages.

Hi, loved the app, but the screenshot thing isn't working.
Also, the idea of a search bar is really good.
It would be perfect if the chat window would actually open in the bottom right on top of the app. I'd be more tempted to actually use it that way, especially on tablets where we can continue using an app while the chat is open.
Perhaps something like Facebook's chat heads would work here really well.
Nice idea
Suggestion
This is absolutely a great idea!!!! :good: :good: :good:
Suggestions:
You can clean from spaces the user id.
Or use some credentials like google and twitter
Ability to sort apps by name
Ability to hide apps (some of them don't make me proud u.u)
Eventually one problem will be about moderation issues. xda it's a great community but winter is coming.
Etc etc etc, but dude, this is awesome!!!! Love it
Great idea indeed! Now users who are using the same application can get quick info and discuss the application with one another.
Very cool! I hope this catches on. Would be very useful to ask questions and such about an app or just have random fun talking about it
it looks pretty awesome. wish i had an android phone at the moment to test it out!
I really like this idea, hope this catches on too!
How are you storing/organising the data in your backend?
This is amazing. And so original that it delights my bones.
A word of caution : provisions for spam blockage and overcrowding of a single room are in order.
Good luck, amazing stuff.

this sound amazing
any chance for an ios version?
add a device chatroom and we could get rid of XDA altogether!
