[APP] SnapSwap - Android Photoswap clone

Hi all
Im new here so I hope this is posted right. Ive developed an Android app that is similar to the iPhone Photoswap app. For those not aware, Photoswap lets you take a photo and send it to a random person, and you will in return receive a random photo back. You can then take part in picture-conversations with the person who you received a photo from.
Ive had a couple people testing my app and it seems to just about ready (apart from using the default app icon), and I'd like to put it out there for others to start using (and hopefully provide some feedback on ) Im new to android development (although not new to programming itself), and this is my first android app. IMHO it works better than the similar Picswap app that exists already, as this doesnt force-close constantly or throw-out error messages regarding "corrupt" images
I have attached the APK with my post for anyone who wishes to download and install it
There is a known issue with the app at the moment that it does not (at least on HTC devices) delete any photos that you have taken, and they still appear in your Photos app. From what Ive found, using the camera Intent saves 2 copies of the photo to the SD card, and Ive only found one path from the URI to delete (so 1 copy is deleted, but the other remains). These can be deleted from the Photos app still however, but Im looking into how to delete these automatically from the app also.
Edit: The app also starts with a blank screen (no default image yet), just press the menu key to begin
Edit 16th September: New APK uploaded, fixes some threading issues and adds debug log output. Please download and install this as the old one may continue to run in the background and not pause properly when changing apps.
For those having issues, please use aLogCat (from the market) and filter by "SnapSwap" to access the debug log. Please PM me a copy of this along with your phone model and android version and I will look into it Most issues so far seem to be with Cyanogen Mod and Motorola users

hay, i'm one of the beta testers,
and this app is really nice
i hope the optic would be a bit better in the next beta , but it makes fun to "swapping" pictures with other testers !
it is much faster then "a world of photo" it never take longer then 10sec since i get a picture
Really nice and weLL done
Greetings from germany !

Thanks for sharing!

Im going to try make an icon for it soon along with a default image to be shown as well, and adjust the polling time with the server for replies (or even look at adding a push notification system to it)

Just updated the APK in my original post to fix some bugs as at least one user was not being assigned a unique ID properly, updated the server to watch for this also.
For those that have already installed the app, I recommend installing this one over it
If those that have installed it could provide some feedback it would also be greatly appreciated

nice idea i like it , i will share my photo with others sounds good
i will feed u back

I downloaded, installed and when i took a pic it immediately force closed.

There has not been any unwanted material sent via it as yet. Im looking into the best way to ban those that would at the moment. As it is currently though, devices are only identified via a unique ID provided by the server the first time the device accesses it, and this is extremely simple to get around if I were to "block" a device.
To those that have had force-closures: Can you please let me know the following..
1) Do you have an SD Card installed?
2) What device are you using?
3) What version of Android are you running?

Works great for me on Samsung Vibrant. I only get one copy of the pictures (that I take), then of course the temp files SnapSwapImg.jpg (the last pic I took) and SnapSwapImg2.jpg (the last one I received). I totally dig the application! You can reply to pictures (of course, with other pictures), receive replies, and even continue your "pic conversation" with that individual. Yeah, you could end up with a dude's (or chick's, though I doubt there'd be many complaining) junk in exchange for your picture, but putting in any kind of regulation for something like that just ruins the whole point of the application. Can't wait to see this adopted by more people.

Sounds pretty cool; I'll try it out. How many unique users do you have?

how do u download it?

This is just like the PicRoulette app. You take a picture, and it sends you the latest picture someone else just took.

Works great on my EVO! Lots of fun. Even getting replies. There was no FC.

Deleted Mediascape

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I deleted mediascape since i never used it. Since then i cannot "share / upload" images directly from the native camera app. Once a photo has been taken i hit the share button l but nothing happens? Anyone else delete MS and have this problem? Not an issue when using Vignette, but it is just sooo much slowerat processing pics that i tend to use it for planned photos only.

Gallery.apk

Requesting stock Gallery.apk if possible. I've found numerous .apk files regarding this but nothing for our Samsung Galaxy Tablets. My model is from Sprint so not sure if it needs to be the same .apk from the carrier or not. Much appreciated, thank you.

Number22 is a XDA member who developed open-source improvements for the stock Gallery3D.apk. You can search this forum to find a download source (there's an official discussion thread started by Number22 about his custom build). His version removes the sensor (battery-draining) bug, and enables better picture resolution, faster indexing, etc. Worth trying in my opinion.

Thank you for the suggestion but that is what I have currently and I am still getting the Force Closed errors. It was my mistake in the first place not to backup the original apk file but what can you do. I'll attempt to re-install it again and see if I have any luck. If anyone does have the stock application it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Edit : This is the post you are talking about, correct? I still am getting the FC issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007

I can confirm the fc errors with the gallery apk by number 22. Its a shame considering the fixes made in his apk. Fc occurs after reboots and reinstalling will temporarily fix it.

I'm in the same boat here.i installed the other one trying to get higher resolution images to show in the gallery but now I get force close errors frequently. I backed up the old one using titanium but I must have biffed it somewhere along the way. if anyone has the stock apk can you please hook it up?

If you are trying to get higher resolution images take a look at Large Image Viewer, when you compare a picture in the stock Gallery to LIV the differences are very evident to see ~ especially when you zoom in close.

Thanks man I appreciate that. At this point though I am still in need of the stock gallery app to keep my tab from force closing and forgetting icon arrangements every time I power cycle

Camera doesn't save pictures!

For some reason, my camera does not save pictures! it just takes the picture and it is not saved in the gallery.
Also, my wifi calling mysteriously stopped working.
I am running the latest phoenix rom..
I have tried the fix permissions thing, and that didn't work either. Any recommendations besides ref lashing?
PS The phone still allows me to send picture messages, just not take any and save them

Any ideas..?

Try a different camera app

Most likely, it is just sending your pics to a different location.
Check the settings.

Hmm what kind of camera app? I tried both setting it to save to internal and external but it does not work

Get your cell phone flashed, if any software issue, it would be resolved... cheers!!!

Maybe you have a setting that makes it so you explicitly tell it you want it saved. I know some camera apps have that setting. If it doesn't show up in gallery try plugging in your phone to a computer to look for some jpg files or use an android file explorer.

{Q} Videom camera will not record in JB superlite

Hello,
I am running the most recent version of Vincom's SUPERLITE JB. Everything works great on the ROM, which is my first custom, except I just found out the video camera will not record. I press the record button and everything happens like its supposed to. The clock shows up with the record symbol denoting the record time. I hit record again to stop the recording and nothing gets saved. The video is no where to be found.
This ROM is my daily user. Christmas is coming up and the wife and I would like to be able to record the kiddos. I have done a search of the forums and tried a a busybox command line that was supposed to help, but nothing has helped. I would have posted in that ROM's section, but I am so n00b that I am not allowed to do that. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Tim

Well I know vincom didn't do anything to the camera most likely did u flash the 4.2 camera mod because a lot of us saw that camera mod doesn't work. If not I would dirty flash the ROM and see what happens if not switch to jedis CUZ I know it works on mine

video camera should be working, but 1080p video recording might have lines through it, 720p works perfect
edit:look in storage/sdcard0/dcim/ to see if the videos were saved, but it should be able to playback from the camera app, you must have installed something to mess up the media storage settings. also open the gallery and see if u see the videos there. does taking pics allow u to open them in the camera app
edit: it seems the picasa sync up can mess up the gallery settings in cm10, quote from official teamchopsticks faq:
"Picasa sync doesn't work (if you overwrite the Gallery with the Google version, you'll break the camera, don't do it). We need someone to port the sync code from the old Gallery3D app! "

So I checked around around on my phone and as far as I can tell the videos do not save. They are not in my gallery or in dcim. Photos save to the gallery fine and at accessible, just not video. I will try dirty flashing the ROM. I just don't know what I would have installed. I am running the ROM and gapps lite. No camera mod at all. Kinda weird.
I have the default gallery with the ROM and gapps light.
Thanks for the responses.
