The ability to select text and sharing it seems to be rare in apps for pre-Honeycomb Android versions, so this may be a problem. This app will have limited functionality in those Android versions.
Hey xda developpers,
Here's my shot at my second ad-free app, WordLookup !
{
"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"
}
What is it?
Many of you have probably heard of the popular Google Dictionary extension for Google Chrome, which allows you to double click any word on a web page to view its definition. I have found this feature indispensable to my web browsing.
Of course, it's not possible to implement something like this in Android just yet, but this app tries to imitate its functionality. There's no need to open another dictionary app to find definitions anymore!
WordLookup allows you to view word definitions easily as you browse the web, and when using apps. It does require an Internet connection to work, however.
Simply hold&select the word you wish to look up, share it with WordLookup and a small notification popup will show a few definitions for the word! It's that simple!
Here's how to use it:
1- Hold and select the word you'd like to get the definitions.
2- Select the Share button in the menu/Action Bar.
3- Share text to WordLookup.
4- The definitions should show up in a bit as a popup(Toast) notification.
Supported Apps:
-ICS Android Browser
-Google Chrome
-ICS Gmail and Email app
-Pulse
-Many,many others. More will be added in this list.
Right now, this app is only tested on Android 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich, as many apps on earlier versions of Android do not support sharing text, your mileage may vary, though. Some parts of the program are still very rough, as this is still a beta.
Upcoming features includes offline dictionaries, and more!
Technical stuff in a nutshell:
This app gets the shared text via an intent and uses the Knicker library to fetch definitions from Wordnik (thanks to their nifty API). It then sends the definitions to a custom Toast pop-up, which is displayed on the bottom of the screen.
Bug reports! Suggestions! Angry Hate Mails!
If there's anything, feel free to reply to this thread, or PM me.
Or you can also e-mail me at houyuchen66 [at] gmail.com.
Cool! Where do I get it?

If you find this app useful, a rating would be great! Please leave your feedbacks in this thread, it really helps!
Dammnn, finally i dont need to copy paste the word anymore into some dictionnary web site
This looks like an awesome idea. Would it be possible to auto detect non-English words and auto-translate selected words using Google Translate? Thanks!

That is coming in a future version! Right now, it's mostly a proof-of-concept. Is the app working fine on your phone, however?
Can anyone with a Gingerbread, or previous version of Android confirm if this app works in these versions?
Thanks

Just released a new version on Google Play that should fix these crashes, as well as implementing the native Toast look, and other fixes. Let me know if it works well now!
Question, is it better to use a Toast notification, like now, or switch to a dialog box, which offers more optimization at the expense of more obtrusiveness?

It already exists! And thanks for the feedback there.
This is a cool idea, but it doesn't really function on my GB TB because the option to share text is limited (as you stated). Still, I'll be following this to see where it goes and I'll definitely give it a spin once I upgrade!
Keep up the work c:
-And a suggestion-
Do you think it would be possible to create an offline version as well and have the word lookups routed through a database in your app instead of online?
I know I'm connected to the internet via wifi and it won't connect... HTC thunderbolt on sfk almost sense 4.0/gingerbread. I could share it and everything though

Hey Meso,
Unfortunately, the limitations on GB seems to be a hard one and cannot be fixed unless the app developer(in the case of the browser, Google) updates it to add sharing, or possibly added into a ROM or something.
And an offline version are upcoming as well, once some flaws with the app gets nailed out. I'm also thinking of using Bing's traslation service to deliver translations in a future version, as well.

Hey,
That's weird, but I may know why, will try to fix it in the next update. I am rather busy these days so you will have to be patient
Meanwhile, try to go on wordnik.com via your phone. It may have been blocked for some reason. Let me know if it works or not.
Just released 0.1.2beta which includes a few buxfixes and also allows me to better identify problems(let me know if you still encounter the problem, Atamagaokashii)
Just released 0.1.5beta:

-Added a loading screen while definition is loading

I'll definitively look into it! The Wordnik API does support pulling from Wikitionary, Webster, etc. It's possible to set this from an option. Glad this app is useful for you!

Since I didn't find anything, I developped my own app called CopySearch. I can't post link, but there is a thread presenting it on xda.
At the end, our 2 apps are totally different, which is fun:
same user needs + 2 different developpers = 2 apps that have nothing in common :laugh:
keep going!

XDA TV (Tablet Edition) v1.4
Now you can have all the XDA TV videos wherever you go using this application. At the time it's limited to tablets(since I got my Galaxy Tab last week and I wanted to play with some coding for it). I need people testing if this works and how it works on Honeycomb tablets(since I don't have one to test). If you were looking for the phone version, just click here.
I've been working on this for a week. Making the layout using HTML and CSS3 was easy, but I got a lot of problems while trying to make the code work on Android, so I took a bit more to match the code for Android. At the time I can't find another way to open up the videos without firing up the browser to redirect to the Video application, the OS has a lot of problems with HTML5 Video tag so I've done it like this.
The technologies used on this application:
PhoneGap
iScroll
jQuery
HTML5 and CSS3

XOOM 3g
Works on the XOOM 3G, here are some things to consider.
1. Yes it did open in a browser window - but the program went back to the App. In order to watch the video I had to switch back to the browser.
2. The GUI is a little off..... "TV" is located between the brown bar and the video pane. The Play button w/ description could be centered in the app.... I know I am nit picking, but you asked
Good job otherwise.

Can you send me a screenshot please. I've designed this application for the Galaxy Tab, since I don't have any Honeycomb tablet, so it needs some polishes on the 10" sizing.

3MB too large for too small app
Looks and works great
I've only played with it for a couple of minutes but it seems to work good. I absolutely LOVE the polished UI. My only problem is that I don't really use a level
Still, great job.
This is the nicest "spirit" level I've seen. I'm sure its not the easiest decision, bu you get a lot of credit for making ads and anonymous data configurable. I hope you go on to build a whole suite of apps!
Great looking app, I am excited to see more people start making high quality UI for android apps because that is one of the things I dislike the most about android is the lack of polished apps. However, I love android still. But keep up the good work
I have to say this is quite clean and works really well. Thank you!
Doesn't let me install from the Market, says it's incompatible with my Galaxy Tab, but I bet it is.
Very nice, Altho ppl rarely download something like a level as a single app though.
Things like this should be combined with other utility apps to have a good selling point.
Good trial tho.
I love that you've given the ability to change every setting imaginable. (full screen, orientation changes, keep screen on, etc.) I feel that most apps need, although lack, most of the options you've provided. And of course, amazing UI. Great job. 5 stars
Thanks gogoad, this is an awesome app, keep up the excellent work!
One thing I really like about Bubble Level (by BRL Technologies) is that it displays 2 levels (2 axis) at the same time, and this is very useful (to me, at least).
Very good graphics, thanks for doing this. Hope to see more great apps from you.
Cheers

I will try to investigate it. Can you tell me what ROMs are you exactly using? Seems to be a problem with "market manifest" (file which defines what devices are compatible).
For now I've changed main post and added link to apk. You can also use market enabler as telenut pointed out.
Thank you all once again. I will keep you updated with changes.
Excellent!
Easy to use, excellent graphics. And the *option* to configure without the need to do so. Providing the choice of supporting by ads or not, is also outstanding.
Even though I don't really need it, I'd also like to see a second level (axis).
BTW, I don't agree to package apps like this with others. I kind of prefer the unix style - choose the right tool for a job and not a collection of tools

I have a question,
I have two mobiles and an eee-pad transformer, and im installed TeeVee on all of them, and since i follow around 13 series, it was rather painless to add them on all devices. How about a feature to allow one to share all the series, maybe via a QR code or something, that could be read on other devices and add them automatically?
Thanks!

Hi koven we're planning on releasing a new version still this month.
tarunongo thanks a lot buddy.
bloodhunter112 sorry the purpose of this application is solely to keep track of the airdate and information of your favorite TV shows.
I'm enjoying your app so far, with one exception I hope you can address. Some of my shows aren't being put into the calendar on the correct days.
First thing I tried to resolve the issue was to hit the update button and re-populate the calendar, but nothing changed.
Here's a screenshot of the app on my phone. The show I'll use for an example is Boardwalk Empire (though it's not the only show that's listed incorrectly):
Next I thought there might be an error with http://www.tvrage.com/ so I went there to make sure the information is correct:
As you can see, the next episode should be airing on Sunday, 6 November 2011. So something is breaking down between http://www.tvrage.com/ and your app. Might be some kind of scraping error.
Edit: I should note that Sunday, 6 November 2011 is the correct air date for the next episode of Boardwalk Empire according to HBO.

Me and my buddy are two students from Portugal and we developed TeeVee, a free application to keep track of your favorite TV Shows.
TeeVee 2.0 is a new version with a better design, faster, and ICS support. You can download it for free at http://goo.gl/LGIVr
Please take a moment to see if you like and comment on future updates you might want.
Thanks a lot!
A small update was released a few days ago, we'd love to hear your thoughts on your application! Thanks a lot guys.
Speed everything up, would be my first request. Background loading, such as in notification pull down. More servers for tv data. Not sure if possible, but configurable notifications, and custom calendar events.
Thanks a lot for your input Kwens_JW. We're already working on some of that stuff and your input was valuable to add more features. We hope to release a new version soon.
Still playing with the app. Swipe left and right to change between menus would be nice.
There seems to be a bug while loading calendar entries. If screen turns off it seems to load forever. Also pops up the load notification again asking you to proceed, though you can see in the background it's still loading.
Reminds me of TV Show Favs, an APP I've been looking for years!! I think you should help him Dev and take down your App.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvshowfavs&hl=en
Its a nice app. I have only one question why does it keep on hanging on fetching show info for the series Suits? On all the other shows it only took 2-3 sec to load it in.

I disagree. I use his app - it's bloated and the UI sucks. Keep up your good work. You should try to add episode tracking at some point though!
I am downloading it now!
I am going to set it up and give it a go.
I will try to provide some feedback.
:good:
Very bad german translation...
If i search for : The big bang theory, it just shows it in UK und USA but not in germany
Any plans to support Indian TV schedule?
If you want a Russian translation, PM me the English string table and I'll gladly translate for you.
Awesome application, Been needing something like this for awhile now. Got it set up and working perfectly!
Only small little dislike I have is the widget only displays 1 show that is airing today when there is 2. Lastly customizing the widget font size would be nice also.
9/10 :good:

Well yeah the UI suck and its bloated a little bit. But you have to admit if these two developers combine together into one it will be a pretty beast app!
Awesome project, I really love it! The gui is simple, yet amazing!!
Thank you!
And 99 cents to you! Nice one !
will take a look into this on my touchpad looks promising
Hey guys! First of all thanks a lot for all your support and suggestions. Me and my buddy have been working hard on our new update and we just pushed it to Google Play. Along many improvements, the most noticeable are:
* Major UI and speed improvements.
* Trending shows tab replaced all shows tab.
* Added background updates. Application is no longer blocking.
* Fixed widget design.
* Several bug fixes.
Now, on to some personal answers.

We followed your suggestion and switched from tabs to a pager. Also we added background updates so the application is no longer blocking.

Thank you for your input but we actually started developing this application after using TV Show Favs. We didn't like the need to login to access the application, and we also wanted a Google Calendar synchronization. Those are the main differences between the applications. Also I think that TeeVee has a more "in-your-face" presentation, valuing simplicity and ease of use, but that's a biased opinion I think

TeeVee was made to follow the airtime of the shows where they originally air.
Unfortunately we don't know German, if anyone could help us we'd gladly accept it.

Slight issue...
For some reason every episode has doubled up on the app so I see duplication throughout and now within my google calendar =S
Hello!
I first released this app on XDA when I started developing android apps and received some really helpful inputs from community. Now, after a gap of almost 3 years, I am reviving this app with a new vision in mind! It has been written again from scratch.
To ensure existing features don't break (and flex some coding muscles), I have kept the features almost the same and rather focused on UI (material design), performance boost, etc.
{
"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"
}
In terms of features, as of now the app allows you to:
1. Shorten links using Goo.gl (more will be added soon)
2. "Always On" mode to check all URL's you access (from outside the web browser).
3. Extract (or decrypt) short URL's.
Tip: To turn on "Always On" mode select URL Ripper as your default URL manager (the links will still open in web browser of your choice). This basically allows the app to scan URL's you are visiting from outside the web browser. You can also see the extracted/decrypted link in a dialog box (under Settings)!
Currently URL Ripper supports almost all the link shortening services including popular ones like Goo.gl, Bit.ly, Is.gd, Ow.ly, Tinyurl, Y.ahoo.it, YouTube, etc. Ad-based services like adfly aren't supported.
Link to Play Store - URL Ripper (Google Play Store)
Direct Download Link (Apk - Same as store version) - Version 3.0
I would appreciate if XDA community could again chip in and share their feedback
Thanks in advance!
Good start Perryb, I need this app.
Thanks!

Mostly it is just an android wrapper for longurl.org. Demand wasn't quite there and I didn't get any real feedback, so I kinda stopped caring for it. There is one bug I wanted to fix, but I didn't get around to do it yet.

Yeah, saw that in app description. I have a different variation planned though. More of a "complete" solution with caching, sharing, etc. But then again, all of it depends on how well is it accepted and used. Also, just a thought, I didn't want to rely on a single service for link expansion. The service dies and app dies, I don't want this to happen P.S: No pun intended. Just my 2 cents.
On a side note, I do like the url catching mechanism from other application

I absolutely agree. It was just a matter of comfort for me. I didn't want to write queries for all those shortening services API. Especially since some of the smaller ones might not even have an API. Or are you making the request and checking where the return url is leading?
Sharing was a feature I had in mind as well, but I didn't get to it.
If you find something you like, feel free to use it and if you think the source code might help, I will gladly send it to you / share the repo.

They don't have api for link expansion (for obvious reason ). I am trying a workaround. It's on my to implement list

You're right. The less popular one's don't have an api or even if they do, the response time is wayward. As of now reliance is on api but I have seen header request works equally well.
Thanks for the offer. I'll keep in mind. Shall ping you if need be Appreciate your offer.

Yes! Well I have though of something more for the application. I started for the first time at XDA and reviving this thread again to get things back up And xoplax should work as well! I don't see any advertisement (nor any role play of javascript in between).
