Hi everybody on xda-developers,
Compare grocery prices using Rainbow Compare.
Rainbow Compare automatically calculates and compares unit prices of the products that you're interested then
visualizes the comparison result for you to make a more informed, frugal buying decision.
Rainbow Compare - save more on groceries
Please check out my new free app Rainbow Compare. It is an app designed for all of you smart shoppers in mind.
If you're a regular grocery shopper, this app will be of great help to you.
Imagine yourself in the aisle of supermarket shopping for beverages and you come across the following products:
1) Beer, $ 1.25 / 12 fl oz
2) Milk, $ 2.45 / 1L
3) Orange Juice, $ 2.65 / 1250 mL
4) Soy Milk, $ 1.50 / 850 mL
And you're really open for all as long as it saves money.. so which one is the cheapest?
This is where Rainbow Compare comes in, just put in the price, quantity, and unit... and voila!
The result is presented to you, visualized:
{
"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"
}
Now you can make a more informed decision. Not a grocery person? No problem, introduce this app to somebody who is.
I'm sure they'll benefit from this free little app.
Other features include
1) Compare up to 4 products at the same time
2) Real-time unit price calculation with optimized precision
3) Auto unit conversion
Also, Rainbow Compare is free.. so you're saving while you're saving.

Cool idea. Will be using this next time I go shopping, thanks dude!

Like the concept, but I'd love to see something a bit more in depth, even something crowd sourced! Say, for instance, you go to Store A, someone else goes to store B, if you could compare prices between different store, that would be amazing!

Yeah, that would be pretty cool... but grocers, for one, have been fighting against the possibility of something like this for years. I don't think they've stepped up their game since the advent of the smartphone, or the PDA, but they haven't been challenged, either.
Here are the problems with that:
One, no grocer serves the entire United States. This could be done statewide for some, country-wide in Europe, but it would be hard to serve everybody. On the West Coast (USA), Safeway is one of the biggest chains. They're nonexistent out here. Here in NC, it's all about Food Lion, Harris-Teeter, and Lowe's Foods. Some of these are in the states around North Carolina, but they don't go very far.
Two, you have dozens of brands. There's the store brands, and then there are the national brands. Then the regionals. Milk and other quickly-perishables are regional only.
Three, prices change all the time. Officially, they change once a week on a given day, but nothing stops or bars a grocer from changing on other days.
Four, due to all this, the information would have to be crowdsourced. Kind of like GasBuddy. Cue collective groan from anybody who has ever used GasBuddy. Now for those still in the dark, I'll elucidate. Because GasBuddy is owned by no gas station, and doesn't verify information (how can it?), unscrupulous gas station owners simply log in and put false prices in. Maybe a couple cents a gallon less, but this has the immediate effect of poisoning the well -- once GasBuddy directs you to the cheapest gas in town, only to find it's the highest, and this happens once or twice, you lose faith in the service. And the more people that happens to... well, the service dies rather quickly. And you can't always fault the person who entered the data because gas prices can change daily. Maybe the person didn't intend to lie, but right after it was changed, the gas station raised the price. Maybe the gas station owner was watching GasBuddy, and as soon as the price for his station was reported, he sent his people out there to raise it. "Hey, we're now the cheapest gas station in town on GasBuddy -- raise the price by 3¢ and let's make some money off the bargain hunters."
Now, a grocery app would be less susceptible to corruption, especially in smaller states. But generally this is not something that a smartphone app is capable of handling, simply due to greedy humans being greedy.
Sorry to shoot you down, but the best way to do this is to go shopping with a partner. You're both on cell phones (don't have to be smartphones), and you both have headsets. You take a shopping list and copy it (even by hand!), and you try to organize the list by aisle order of *both* stores (so you kinda have to know them). Then what you do is, one drops the other off, and they both go into the store, on the phone, to the first item on the list. You compare the prices, over the phone, and whoever can get it cheaper, adds it to the cart. If you're the one who doesn't add it, you write the price difference on yours. You both check out, and meet up after. Later, compare lists and add the differences to see what you saved. Really helpful if you're married and you're not pressed for time. But then again, my wife and I have been married just over 6 years, and we have done this only once. (We came up with the idea of writing down and later adding differences after we did it -- I couldn't tell ya what we saved.)
WOW guys
Seriously. Wow. I never expected anyone would post serious, constructive reply to my thread when I first posted.
I truly appreciate it
This is the first Android app that I have created, and the number of download isn't great so far. BUT ! I'm happy
as long as it gets to help someone in any way.
Also special thanks to Dark Reality for the insights!

UPDATE ON MARKET!
Changes Include a new inventory system and online creature list changes!
Let me know what you think of the update!
CHECK OUT OUR NEW FORUMS! It is a place to put big reports, feature requests, or just talk about the game in general!
FORUMS!
I'm making this thread in the hopes some ppl will try it, give me some feedback, etc. I have a small group of about 5 people who have been helping me make this in the past 3 weeks, and It's come a long way.
OK, so here it is.
ScanDroid Kingdoms is a Barcode Battler, with RPG elements.
You scan barcodes to create your creatures. You currently can have as many as you like.
You can then battle your creatures against "Barcode NPCs", or battle online against other people on the ScanDroid Network.
You can take advantage of your "Daily Scans" to gain items, exp, or currency.
You can also share your creature via QR code for others to scan and battle, instead of using the online listings.
There is an Item shop, where you can buy things with currency.
Currency(ScanCreds) are gained when you scan for anything in the game.
Soon to be added:
Quests
Leaderboards
Equipment
Crafting
Online Trade House/Auction House
Skills for both Players and Creatures
Friends List
Messaging
I also have a donate version on the market, if anyone finds this game fun and wants to help keep it going at a fast pace, I'd appreciate it.
Currently there is NO difference between the free and donate versions.
Once the game is out of BETA, there will be differences.
Free version will not have multiple creature management, and will have a level cap(will be a higher one, like 40 or so). It will not get all the quests the Donate version will get either. But that is down the road.
I hope you like it and please respond if you have tried it, let me know what you think, and I'll try to do what I can to make the game more to your liking! I am trying to make this game as much a community project as I can, as I find that others seem to have great ideas I would have never thought of.

Been playing this for a while and so far I'm liking it. I'm also on the beta team for Barcode Beasties.
There's a few things not quite right and/or lacking in your game. I don't seem to get "daily scans" only scan accumulated through online battles. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding this but to me "daily scans" would indicate we get an amount of scans allocated to us every day. In the online battling feature it would be handy if we could see the other creatures level as well as their name in the listing of potential opponents, it would save us loading an opponent up, seeing they're too far above us in level terms then having to go back in and load another.
I also have a question. are we allowed to re-scan codes ever ie. is it a once per day scan limit or is it a persistent limit that never allows us to scan the same code twice??
Anyways, loving the game and hope it does well, would love to see your game and Barcode Beasties combined but I suppose you both being in competition so to speak will cause both games to have to strive for excellence.

Hey, thanks for the reply!
OK, so first:
You get 20 scans per day, refreshed at the start of each day.
Also, due to a very recent update, you can have a chance to gain an extra scan upon winning a match. Before, you would win a scan after EVERY win of match, which gave too many scans to them.
Having the level of each creature next to the name is a feature I have heard about quite a bit lately, and I am truly looking for a solution to have implemented in the next few days.
Also, it saves all UPCs in a db, and does not allow you to scan the same one twice, to keep ppl from figuring out what codes give what and keep ppl scanning in different places and situations.
Also, I saw Barcode Beasties hasn't been updated in a long while(market shows nov 10, 2010.) Is it still be worked on I take it? Also, I consider Barcode Beasties to be a different game for the most part, and the direction our team has planned for this game will take it so far off course from Barcode Beasties that they won't even be able to be compared after a while.
Thanks for the input, hope to hear from you again.
If you are interested in joining up with us on beta development, let me know, I would be glad to have you on board. Email me at [email protected] If you are interested.
Installed the game and gave it a try, so far everything seems great.
A little more flashiness to the UI might be in order, by no means does it look bad. A WP7 style setup for the buttons would fill in the blank space left by the smaller buttons currently, give the entire application more flow. (Mainly referring to the buttons in Barracks/Battle etc... change from small grey boxes to WP7 style buttons with large graphics)
The barcode scan portion works great, had no problems there.
Battle wise everything was fine, however the battle text was a little slow. Perhaps having an option to speed up the battle text, or make it go to the next round via tap interaction?
Definite thumbs up for this app. Plays well, no errors encountered as of yet, and I really enjoy the concept. Cant wait to see how it grows.

Thanks for trying it. The UI is fairly new right now, but we are trying to find ways to make it easier and more appealing. I will take the idea you had and see if it can help us at all.
Good idea for the battle text, ill add it to our bugs/feature tracker.
New Update has been posted!
Changes Include:
Bug Fixes(Of Course)
Online Creature List now shows levels under names
NEW Inventory System to test out!
Also, as with any update during the BETA, please contact me([email protected]) if anything is not working properly, and Ill do what i can to fix it ASAP!
Also, still looking for a couple more people who want to join the teams beta testing division, so we can get the updates tested a little faster so I can send them to the market quicker!

Good to see that you are reporting wrong location to us, we will check that location out shortly. You probably didn't know this due to our lack of instruction in the app, but the app does have a feature where when you are at a location that isn't accurate, you can correct the location on your device.
The way to do it is. 1. Click on the detail of the location(Walgreen), 2 Click on the triangle sign(button). 3. The app will search for a GPS signal and when it lock in, press the fix button. That will send us the right coordinate for that particular location and it will also reflect in your device right away. No need to way for us to correct it. This will also help order people in your area out too .
Thank You for using YAH !

I see flags, lot of flags on the map and list, what's wrong? I see some retailer graphic, but lot more flags now!!! Though when i click on flag it shows me a list of retailers and flag next to it. Not as intuitive as having icons. Can you get the retails logo back?
dumble_bee,
I had this same problem the first time I installed it yesterday. It was in the middle of loading the icons and then my data connection dropped. It left with a bunch of flags and restarting the app didn't help. I found a fix for this, by wiping the catch and data in the setting->management application. Once I did that all the icons came in.
f8andbethere,
Thanks for this pretty useful app. I now know there is a RiteAid store that is closer to the one I normally go to because of this. I will take it for a drive this weekend and will report back.

heeellllppppp...do i have to reset the device to clean it up?
We know about the bug Carlos mentioned and will fix that in our next major release. The work around is what Carlos has described. Go the setting->manage application->you are here->clear cache and data.
dumble bee,
If you are only missing some icons then that is because we are a bit behind on icon creation as we were focus on pushing a lot of new data last week. We will fix it shortly.
You probably saw some local food places with just flags in your area. Those we will probably never fix unless they are very well known.
f8
dumble bee,
Pushed some icons last night. Give it a go and let us know if you still have issue. Autozone should be there now.
Enjoy,

Took this out for a last minute shopping in San Francisco yesterday. Worked out pretty good. Data came in pretty quickly. The only problem was in the middle of downtown the GPS went in and out because of tall buildings. Other than that it worked great.
Carlos
Nice concept. Would be cool if it could also access one of those online coupon databases and show you coupons/sales/deals for stores around you.
SwiftLegend,
Thank you for your input. We are actually working on the exact feature you are requesting. It will probably be in beta in a few weeks.
Thanks,

F8,
If you need someone to test the coupon/deal beta when it is ready let me know.

[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.

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 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.

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.

We're constantly working on adding new features and fixing those annoying bugs/
Hey all,
We've just updated Dietista to version 1.0.2!
The version includes major bug fixes and UI improvements.
We've also attached the APK to main thread.
Have fun!
I downloaded the app from the app store and cannot get past setup. I entered my info then selected my body type. Then entered some exercises. Next it asks me if I want to go on a diet, maintain my weight or gain muscle. I can't select any of them successfully. I chose diet and it won't let me change my goal weight. I chose maintain and it tells me that I should add some exercises, the same with gaining muscle.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Only bug I've found so far is that it won't let me put the same exercise in on different days with different lengths of time. I go hiking at least a few times a week for about an hour each, but with one of them well over that. Can be anywhere from 3 hours to 5 hours depending on if I'm by myself or not.
So my breakdown would look something like this...
Day 1 - Hiking, 1 hour
Day 2 - Hiking, 1 hour
Day 3 - Hiking, 3 hours
Also, I'm curious what diet you have it programmed for. Low/Slow Carb? Paleo? There's tons of different diets out there and more opinions on them than one can imagine. I'm just curious which one this app follows.
Hi. I like your pp. However it's more like for my wife use not really for me. What I need from your app is to be able to adjust my macros ie. 50%protein 30carbs%and 20%in fats. Or maybe that's aviable in paid version?
Anyway it looks solid
over autpoid
Cool looking App.
Nice work.
I'm also curious about setting Macros. I am doing BeachBody Body Beast and I need to focus on macros. Looking for an easier way to do this with meal plans. So when I set my macros I can then get reasonable/realistic meals suggested to me.
I think this app is amazing so far, and can get so much better too. I think the biggest thing to add would be like others have mentioned the ability to add macro's. Some diet's, like keto, look to cut carbs and increase protein and fats. The other advantage to this is for people who are diabetic and need to limit certain parts of their diet. Doing so, I think, will open you up to a much wider audience.
How about some specific sport options. I play Soccer twice a week besides gym 2-3 times a week depending on schedule. I think it is pretty good app though. Try and make it available in IOS as well, I have a couple of "evil" friends that would be interested lol.
excellent app!
Hi all,
Thanks so much for all your feedback. I'll answer all the questions -

Hi keekah,
Dietista did not forbid you of choosing to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but simply promoted your with a suggestion to add exercises. You can ignore the warning and proceed with your desired goal.
Please let us know how that worked our for you, and for any other questions we're available through this thread and through mail([email protected]).

Hi ridethisbike,
Currently there is no option of choosing different lengths for the same exercise. We'll definitely add support for that in one of the upcoming updates.
Regarding the diet plan, Dietista's diet consists of a healthy balance between carbs, protein and fat. We do know there are many diet options out there, but for the time being we feel Dietista's diet should do the trick.

Hi magik300, b4u2 & molesaied88,
We're glad you're enjoying Dietista.
Regarding your question, we do want to add support to adjsut your macros, but our main fear is that some of our users will adjust it in a manner that could end up hurting themselves. But don't worry, we're working our way around it

We're not sure we completely understand your suggestion,Celeox. Dietista do offer the option to add multiple specific exercises(such as Soccer and Gym).
Thanks again for all your comments, we promise to consider all of them.
Have a great day!
Hi there,
I've just had a overview of the app and must say I like it from the point of view of a developer. Good design, nice UX... Nothing to say about tech works, five stars for it.
Menu suggestions don't look so good, though. For the data I provided (no activity at all) the menu has way too many carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes cereals...) has sausages aplenty, fatty cheese ... I would suggest anyone looking for a good, safe and healthy diet to visit a dietician and/or endocrinologist. Specially one that's familiar with European / Mediterranean diet.
My 2 cents.
No spanish?
The app looks great! Both my wife and I have installed.
The only thing I've noticed so far is I change it to metric but it still shows energy in "Calories" instead of "Joules"

Sometimes we are not satisfied enough simply to have something designed by our own hands. We need something further, something that can draw other people’s attention and make your design not only plausible to you. Yes, we all want some occasional publicity on our talent and taste that show our individuality, and nothing can achieve this more than sharing them through social media. That is why we believe that it is important that you could share your DIY theme on the internet.
It’s easy to do so, as you can find the key to share it on the top-right corner on the screen once you create a new theme with a customised photo. While sharing, you can also add some tags for your theme as I have put ‘classic’ on my theme with my favourite renaissance painting, The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli.
It is an exciting idea to share your own keyboard theme to the internet. Sharing a theme is showing your taste, but also your attitudes and lifestyles. So why not give it a try?
To find our more about DIY theme sharing, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or send us an email.

If eclipse were a meme, what would it be?
If you are in America, lucky you! 14 states across the United States will experience a Total Solar Eclipse with more than two minutes of darkness descending in the middle of the day over the course of 100 minutes. FYI, the last one was on June 8, 1918.
Not in America? Don’t worry. Everyone in North America, parts of South America, Africa and Europe will see at least a partial solar eclipse, where the moon covers only a part of the sun. This is one of nature’s most exciting splendors that you can’t miss.
Here we provide you a cool animated Solar Eclipse theme. Try it out now searching "Solar Eclipse theme Typany" on Google Play, you will be amazed!
We’ve collected many beautiful pictures of solar eclipse, check it out on our FB page "Typany Keyboard". You got better pictures? CHALLENGE us with your best image/sketch by using #SolarEclipse2017.
