Database Info

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

install
Wont install on my Hero ??

Thanks in advance!

I downloaded and installed this app just to try it out. Didn't think it was going to match up to googles image search but I was very impressed. I've got more testing to do but as of now I think it's a keeper. Thank you.

Thank you Jemack for your quick rely.
Vimage uses the search API from Bing.
Maybe the results is not good as google's now, but we are also in development,the result will be optimaztion and user experience more and more better in next version .
If you have any suggestions, please post it here. Thank you.

The interface is brilliant.

Thank you 805406.
I am very glad to see your words of encouragement and praise.
It's our motivation.
If you have any suggestions, please post it here. Thank you.

great job definitely a keeper

idk...the permissions it requests seems a bit cautious to me for a simple image app

THank you dyetheskin for supporting us.
Why do you need so many permissions?
Vimage tries to use these permissions to provide best experience.
* Read sensitive log data. This is the logcat output which is used by Android developers to locate the bugs and crashes in most cases.
* Internet access. Obviously Vimage needs this permission to fetch content from the Internet.
* Modify/delete SD card contents. Vimage would cache the images to your SD card to improve performance.
* Read phone state and identify. Vimage needs to know who is using it. And most important, the slideshow function in Vimage will work better if it knows when a phone call is coming.
* Prevent phone from sleeping. You don't want the phone locked when you watch pictures, right?
If you have any suggestions, please post it here. Thank you.

First post for me but justed wanted to give my +1 for this . Great UI and I got more relevant results than google.

Thank you, Mrcapo1984 ! If you have any suggestions please tell us.

the only one that concerns me is the identify part,users should have the right to be anonymous if they choose. phone state is fine cause you never know when a call comes in that might cause issues to the apps function

android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

Hi, The permission we request in our AndroidManifest.xml is "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE", which includes the phone identify and phone state. We don't need the phone identity, but we just can't request the phone state part from the "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE". It's Android OS that make this implicit permission, it groups many similliar permissions to one name, so we can't request only one.

This is a very nice app. Thanks.
Deserves to go on the market.

Has anyone used DroidIris before? I'm curious about which one you guys think is better. I guess I should just get this and se for myself huh?

What do you mean by save? We cache the images on your sdcard, you can clear them from preferences.

[APP][2.2+] Wallet [miniApp]: Expense Manager, Accounts Book

Hi Everybody!
I am a computer science student and I have just launched an interesting app to Google Play.
It is very simple. I know that there are similar apps, but mine is very light, free and mine
It has taken me many hours of my free time and holidays to develop it. It seems a very simple app, but I pretend to give this appearance, easy to use.
I pretend to build a series of common-use apps which has the minimum size possible.
This App has been translated into English and Spanish. I would be very grateful if anyone can help me correcting English translation or adding a new one.

Features:

Thank you very much!
Next update I will include more currency.
About time and more information, I have thought about it first times, but, is it necessary?
I mean, when I register a paid, what I need to know is the price and what is it for.If it is a bill or something important I store the letter or email.
In addition, you can write a large description to each paid.
However, I will consider this new field
Thank you again for replying me and giving me your advise and tips and sorry for my english.
PD:
About simplicity: it was my aim building a clear app. I think I have got it. However, it has taken me a lot of time to develop it.

New update!
This App is compatible with ICS and Jelly Bean navigation bar now.

New update (v. 1.7)
Now you can backup and restore your data.

Added password protect to access to the application in Premiun Edition.
New update will be available in two hours. Version name is 1.1.1

[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.

screenshot
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.
Sent from my trusty GT-I8262

this sound amazing
any chance for an ios version?

add a device chatroom and we could get rid of XDA altogether!
