[APP] Quotes n Jokes

Hey everyone,
to make myseld more familiar with some of the new HC/ICS features (ActionBar, Fragments, ViewPager, etc...) i made a new app.
This time is it something to make you laugh or kill boring hours waiting for something - "Quotes" (not the final name)...
Before i'm going to publish this in the market i want to give you the opportunity to give it a try and provide feedback if you want to.
I'm looking forward to all your feedback!
The APK is attached to this post (package name already reserved in market ).

Some background info:
The backend is done with Google AppEngine + Jersey (RESTful webservice).
All the quotes are saved in the AppEngine datastore.
The app aggregates the view counts of all views in the internal SQLite database and submits those aggregated values once every day (to prevent massive write operations on the AppEngine datastore).
Ratings are submitted instantly.
The app has an auto update feature which will be executed once every day by default (interval configurable and you can also turn it off completely). This update process retrieves only those quotes that have been changed since the last update. They are transmitted with a GZIP compression to save your bandwidth!

Nice app, tested on my sgs2 running 2.3.5
Tho the first load took a while
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

yes that's normal on first launch. it downloads all the data. You can configure the interval of auto updates in the settings (or disable it if you prefer manually updating the data).

Published

pushed an update this morning (0.1.1) that fixes a bug with viewcount submission...

My two favourite things in one app! I'll give some feedbacks soon.

haha very funny app, thanks!

[APP] Hotstrings - NEEDS testers or should I continue making this?

OK so this is a sort of experimental app that needs some testers. It's not in play yet but the apk is attached to the bottom of the OP. I'm just curious how many people would find something like this useful and wonder if I should carry on making it or just abandon it. Basically the app works as a sort of shortcut for frequently typed phrases or whatever that you may constantly type out that you may not want to. So you create a keyword and a string of text associated with that keyword. You can now cycle through keywords via the widget or the app itself and click on the keyword and have the associated text copied to clipboard for easy pasting wherever you may want
widget usage:
- Click left/right arrows to cycle database
- Click keyword/string to copy to clipboard

Would you mind explaining it a little better?

I didn't get it. What exactly does it do?

That link will give you an idea of what they are. I think what needs to happen for this to be worthwhile is a needs a custom kb to work with since you are unable to interact with these keywords in other apps(hence the clipboard). With a keyboard I could have a keyword for a really long bit of a text and I just type the keyword out and it will autoreplace with the associating string saving you time.

Basically, you create short texts that expand to the full phrase/sentence you like. The only similar app I found was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agileapps.autocorrecteditor&feature=search_result which has fairly negative reviews and still has 500-1000 downloads. I expect this is about the size of audience the hotstrings app would get, perhaps slightly more if it is rated more positively.

Hi I know this is old but I'm looking for something like this! I had this option on my iPhone way back when, it's the only thing I miss about it. I use the Swype keyboard so I don't know if that will conflict with your app but it's worth a shot! The link seems to be down, is there any way I could get this apk to try out?

Encrypter Decrypter - My second Android app

Encrypter Decrypter is my second Android app. Again, this is a simple app but does what it needs to do perfectly.
Encrypter Decrypter - My second Android app
This app can convert your text in a reasonably secure text.
Note: Saved files are saved in /sdcard/EncryptorDecryptor/Encrypted_Texts
Compatibility: Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and above
------------------------------------------------
Features:
- Encrypt and the encrypted text is directly copied to your clipboard
- You can directly share the encrypted text too using Email, Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS, etc.
- For large text files, the files can be opened using a file manager and the encrypted text can also be saved to text files (This is the reason why the read and write permissions are required by the app)
- The new Tabbed UI (swipe-able tabs)
Please check it out. I hope you like it.

And I'm sorry for the large screenshots. Didn't knew they appear this way on XDA.

Seems nice, but you need to add a more strong crypto

Certainly. But my primary aim as always was to learn something new. I try learning new things and implement them.
I know Java pretty well, but I'm new to Android and it's APIs. So building a strong crypto would meaning working more on the Java part, whereas I wanted to spend more time getting hold of the 'Android part' of the programming.
Usually I take up 4-5 new things to learn per day, and if possible implement them together to build a simple app. But seeing the good response my friends and family are giving me on this, I may look forward to building up a stronger crypto. Can't completely ignore building up basic algorithms!

[GAME][2.1+] SkidPad Lite

After a few months of on and off part-time efforts, I've managed to design and develop an android game. Its a small autocross game called SkidPad. Currently I have a lite version published and am working on pushing out a full version soon.
This is my very first attempt at pushing something out to an app store.
It should be there on Google Play under the name "SkidPad Lite"
Its an autocross style game where you need to cross a sequence of checkpoints in order as fast as possible. Points will be deducted for cutting the track. Unlock cars/levels as you play.
The controls are quite simple using the touch interface. The tilt interface though.. I'm not a big fan of it, so its still pathetic. That will probably need some more work.
It would be really great if the forum members try out the game and provide some feedback

Providing a link will be come in handy!!!

Thanks a lot. Since I'm pretty much a "new" member (been lurking around the forum for years without posting much), the system didn't allow me to post a link. I can't even quote your message that has the link in it. All for greater good I guess.
However, that will not be a problem going forward

Here are a couple of screenshots from the game.. Hope you all like it

Have you done it with Unity?

Nope. This was entirely done using the Proton SDK in C++. I'm not that comfortable with Java or C#.
Proton is a nice and free SDK, but it lacks documentation - basically you have to run through the code to find out what's what.

[APP][4.0+] Sprint Free 1.1

As requested by a friend, here is Sprint Free 1.1.
Sprint Free is a very simple app: It just downloads a file, in the background, over and over. The idea is that some providers will terminate your contract if your data usage is outside their limits.
Reference: http://i.imgur.com/PjXVpEy.png
What it does:
Downloads a file from any location you want, but in small pieces, so it uses <1MB of your storage space
Options:
Start on boot
Custom URL input (has a default)
Custom Interval (10 seconds default)
Notes:
This app does its best to force a mobile connection for the file, even if you are on wifi. However, not all devices are capable of this. If you'd like to test yours, just run
Code:
adb logcat -s "SPRINTFREE"
and look for this line:
Code:
requestRouteToHost result: true
also note this line:
Code:
startUsingNetworkFeature for enableHIPRI result: 1
-1 = failure
2 = most likely your phone is not capable
If it is unable to use mobile, no worries - whenever you go off the wifi, it will automatically reconnect to the mobile and continue downloading the file.
Please Note: This application will incur heavy data usage. Please make sure you know why you are using this app, and that you have setup everything properly!
Download:
mod edit: link removed[\b]
If this app has helped you escape the evil clutches of a contract, please consider donating to me: http://goo.gl/hBMjni

Ok... my attempt to connect eclipse with github (windows) was... well, all of my source code got deleted. (Not in the recycle bin - deleted, gone)
So, I had to do a data recovery, piece the files back together, hand create a new eclipse project...
Anyways, I'll get this uploaded tomorrow (besides, there's a tweak I really need to make before I release the source. Need to use some intents rather than a couple threads watching a sharedpref - it's highly inefficient the way it is, but it was a rush job)
