Request to develop basic app: Sobriety/Clean-time counter

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.

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.

Make sure you download it from the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.voilaweb.mobile.liveview.livewatches
***
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

[App] Root Call Blocker needs testers

Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app's home is here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
We have had multiple reports that blocking is not working sometimes on the American sammy phones, so we need some nice people to do some testing.
You can use the Groups function of the Lite version to do the testing - it gives you almost everything youd want from the app anyway.
Please post comments here, but also use the "Write to us" dialog in settings.

This is great, my bug with calls comng through sometimes when call waiting with more than 1 number was fixed in 165! Thanks a lot!

Enjoy... and remember, an update is always just around the corner!

Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:
1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting
2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself
Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well.

Come on people, i really need some feedback on this!

Come on guys - feedback will help me help you!

Awesome, working perfectly here thanks. Dont thing ive ever had issues with this app (maybe once had to do a manual license check)...

Thanks, could you please test the behavior i described above? Its very important!

Guys, an update has been rolled out. It contains an important new workaround thast needs to be tested.
It may help those people who have data issues, especially on LTE enabled phones sometimes.
Please help me test this by installing the app, rebooting and waiting for data to return with the screen on. Please wait 3 minutes at least before sending logs via "Write to developer" in the app.
Dont forget to include a description. Thanks!

Working perfectly for me! Thanks, this is absolutely top class. Ive been using CM as well, great app too.

Enjoy. And dont forget that im always checking these threads, ao comments and suggestions are welcome!

Any issues to report?

Maybe found a bug... just maybe
This actually sort of saved my a$$ so not sure if I should list it as a bug or not LOL anyways I'm using Miui on a HTC Desire Z and I loaded my root blocker pro and added a password and put it in hidden mode. I always back up my blocking settings so I forgot how to load root blocker pro when it's hidden, so I went into the settings into manage applications, then I uninstalled root call blocker and re-installed it and said no to the restore, got into the setting and restored manually. Could be a security flaw, what do you think?

There is no way to prevent this other than taking your sd card out. Its an android flaw.

Yes, its a problem with android itself!

Any issues to report?

Not sure if it the app or not. I have an evo shift. Im using the free version and ever since i installed rcb i lose all service sometimes, data and phone. A reboot fixes it. Like i said i never had this problem before i installed rcb. On a lighter note it works great awesome app! I will be buying when i figure out if it rcb or not
Supremly transmikked! Sense in disguise

RCB will only interfere with data at first run, so it isnt the app. Bad radio, bad signal, pretty much lots of possible reasons...

Ok, i did find that it is blocking all picture mail(mms). Is there a setting to fix it?

[APP][2.1+] S.A.M. Set Airplane Mode

Hi everybody, I finally released my first android app!
S.A.M. allows you to activate and deactivate airplane mode at fixed time saving battery, useful for example if you want to
use your smartphone as alarm. ( Alarm doesn't work if the phone is OFF )
I know.. there are a lot of app that make the same thing but mine is free, easy to set and has these plus:
- App activation depending on the day of the week
- Edit wifi status, ringer mode and audio volumes when activating / deactivating airplane mode
- If the phone is ringing or you are making a phone call S.A.M. delays the activation of airplane mode till the end of the phone call

This app is still beta, I'm using it since march on my phone ( Liquid with CM 7 ) and it's working very well, but I need more feedback ( specially ICS feedback ! ) ... testing would be very appreciated!
You could test it setting close times and checking if ariplane mode is activating and deactivating properly, if you like it and you use it regularly.. many many thanks!
In fact my fear is that S.A.M. stop working after one or two week of use, in my case never happend but you never can tell.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDIxMiwiaXQuc2V0YWlycGxhbmVtb2RlLmFwcCJd
Don't hesitate to post any (positive or negative) feedback or opinion!
Thanks in advance !

nobody ?? I trust in you!
I made an update, fixed small issues and implemented the Phone Calls Check:
S.A.M. delays the activation of airplane mode if you are making a phone call!
Hi!

I will try this app, thanks

new update, fixed a bug in the days of week check, hope you like it !
for any question post here, hi !

Hi,
This cuts all connections like data,wifi,etc...
You can use your phone "normally" but without any connections,you will not able receive calls,sms,mms,etc either browsing the web make calls,etc...
Used in general for battery saving...
If I'm not wrong it's a buit-in feature in Android devices...
EDIT:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airplane_mode

Thanks man.
I use it everyday and I have not any problems with this app.

yes creeve4, like viking37 said it's a buit-in feature in Android devices ( and in all mobile phones )
In this app it's purpose is battery saving and make inactive your phone allowing you to use it as alarm (If you turn off the phone alarm won't work)
hi!

update!
new update!
ChangeLog:
- fixed day check with start time < end time
- fixed start and end time shown in settings
try it !
hi !

elcasa, a search of XDA brought me here. First of all, thanks for sharing your work with us. I'm sure we all appreciate it. Second, I have a question/request. How hard would it be to add an option to cycle airplane mode on and then immediately off again?
I have an ongoing issue that is easily solved by turning AM on and then immediately off. It's not a big deal to do this manually, but if I had a widget or shortcut that would accomplish this with one touch, it would be pretty slick.
Any thoughts?

you need a widget that resets the network, activating airplane mode and deactivating it few seconds later, if I have understood correctly
it would be easy making a widget that does what you want but I'm curious, why you need it ?

My phone wont connect to my femtocell and cycling AM fixes it.

doesn't seem too difficult, i'll try to do it

there's a new update! fixed problems with ics & jelly bean, added toast notification on off in settings
@erikivy I'm studying so I don't have enough time to make the widget, if you want to try, in the test section there's a button that make the "network reset" activating and deactivating airplane mode in a few seconds, i'll add the widget after my exams

[APP] Pokemon Go+ Type Alerts Using Xiaomi Mi Band (Nexus 5) NON-ROOT

Hi All,
Little app for PoGo alerts on MiBand (and any fitness tracker!)
Basically - it works when the app is running - it allows me to use my Mi Band/BIP like a PoGo+ as well as trying its best to help with the battery saver mode (makes it dimmer and more black!)
The idea is that every time the app vibrates the Band does too, as long as it's allowed in the fitness tracker app. Works for MiBand and for Amazfit Bip in my testing, I assume it works for all smartbands that allow the user to choose apps.
You can choose the features in the app and they will automagically start as long as the 'App Active' button is set to 'ON'.
Optional features are:
* Simulate Go+
* Screen dim when facedown
* Screen dim when upside down
* Screen dim when proximity sensor covered
* Screen dim for both of the above
* Screen timeout set by app screen, resets to previous whe PoGo closes
I'm testing disabling the actual phone screen backlight/LEDs without root but I don't think it's possible (PoGo app closes). Still though, it should be more efficient than PoGo battery saver mode alone.
New install instructions (APK no. 65)
To make sure the app functions correctly you'll need to do the following in the given order.
Install app
Your phone should ask you for some permissions (e.g. draw over over apps)
Accept all the permissions and accessibilty options, but press NO to the 'learn how to enable read logs'
You'll need to open up ADB and allow READ_LOGS to use the GoPlus functionality.
Use the following ADB commands:
adb shell pm grant stoobacca.apps android.permission.READ_LOGS
adb shell am force-stop stoobacca.apps
Go to accessibilty settings and make sure the app is set to ON
Hopefully when you open the app all will work!

Hello, thanks for the app.

I'll see if I can update for this. Just uploaded a new one which SHOULD make the black screen big enough for all phones

I've updated - I think for all questions people have sent.
My XDA doesn't show any responses to PM's so no idea if anyone has heard from me.
Latest rev. 26 should be OK.
Let me know!

Thank you for your work!
But there some bugs in new version:
1) black rectangle still not fully cover 6" screen
2) screen timeout setting not saved: I set 60, - reopen your app and there again 30
3) when I open pokemon go, then close it and look at display setting (at android menu) I see there is no one radio button selected so there maybe some bugged value set.
4) some of your app menu settings caption have 3 lines and it trimmed at end (nexus 6)

Hey man,
Thanks!
I think I broke some stuff in the most recent version. Will upload a new apk later.
1) The rectangle thing I'm working on.
2) I have set it to display the set variable. It will default to 30 if you force close the app. Might also have a problem if your phone can't support more than 30 (that's why it defaults)
3) I might have fixed this. Could you give me more info - maybe a screenshot?
4) I think I fixed the text display issue, let me know with the new apk. (also screenshot if you can)
Glad you like my app!
Stu

Today i testing version 3.5
+ Timeout option in your app now saves fine. And change phone screen timeout to this value when PoGo opens;
But i think this option is useless, what is the point to set not maximum timeout? It needed only if we cant figure out device's maximum screen timeout.
- Screen timeout does not resets to previous when PoGo hides (In version 2.0 it always resets to 1 min.)
If it difficult to restore previous value i wish to have option to reset it to 30 seconds
- Please add version of your app to top of settings page
- Some text layout bugs:

hi and thx for the app but unfortunately it didn't work.
i have installed your apps, app active and simulate go plus and allowed notification from your app on mi band and tools but doesn't work.
is there anything else to do ?
many thx
edit 1 : turn on accessibilty, app is starting when launching pokemon go but don't get any notification on mi band
i have galaxy S7 edge

Ask author to upload previous version ---> 2.0
I use it, works fine.

try the new version 3.8 , doesn't work.
what is the parameters i have to do in apps and mi band ?
thx

Apparently a lot of time since the last comment, but I feel lucky today.
A dumb question: with this app, can I fully simulate a PoGo+ bracelet or it only receive vibrations from the app?

Is it still working?

dont think so, i couldnt get it to work

I am confused as to how this app works. I believe I have everything set up, it has accessibility access, but I can't seem to get it to work. Could you possibly make us first start/set-up guide? (Moto E4)

Does it still work?

I can look at updating if people are still interested..
Hi All,
Sorry I've not been at all active on this forum..
I've seen people asking if this still works (sorry some were a very long time ago)!
I know it's not really useful now as unfortunately we can't go outside.. but if I can dig out my old files and get this working, would anyone be interested?
I can't guarantee it as I don't play PoGo anymore. But if people are interested, I'll see if I can get some time to try and get it working again.
Cheers, and stay safe!

I would really be interested in this. Don't know if you had any responses in pm.

I second that.

I would be very interested into a new version!

Alright then peeps, I've tracked down a version I backed up so I'll take a look see.
Give me some time and i'll try to get a new version. If you could post any issues here it will help me with what to fix.. it might be all of it so no worries if the lists are long!
