Hello all!
This is my first post on this forum so if I'm posting this in the wrong place, let me know! I would like to show off my latest Android App that I've been working on for the last few months. It has been a long path of changes, changes, and more changes! I've really enjoyed how far I've come with learning development. So here it is!
Planets is a educational app that is centered around providing users with information about the planets in our solar system. It also has info about other objects like the Sun and Pluto. I recently redesigned the app to make the content easier to scan and make it a little more fluid like. I have a community[1] set up with Beta testing for the people who want to test stuff before it's released to the public. I am looking to gain a larger user base but my main goal is just making the app look nice and easy to use. You can download[2] it on the Play Store and feedback/ratings are appreciated. So far, I've got about 1,400 downloads and I'm hoping to get more! Also, you can view the full source code for this app[3]!
See attachments for screenshots.

Wonderful application, always been an admirer of Astronomy and this is just brilliantly put together. Will come back with a decent feedback soon .
I know it is easy to pick on any application but knowing how much effort might have gone in does help (through your github post).
Is it possible to convert the given units into scientific units (e.g. mass of sun = 1.9891 * 10^30 kg)?
Hi, I'm a fan of astronomy but I'm also a graphic, web-designer/developer... I love you app and, if it is possibile, I want to make some themes for this app!
Very nice app. Informative and yet easy on the eye. Looking forward to further updates.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm always up for more astronomy. Great work, keep it up. :good:
Very nice! Love the UI, looks very intuitive.
Some suggestions:
- use translucent bars on KitKat
- make the back animation consistent with the open animation. For example, when you tap a planet, the card zooms in to fill the screen; but when you hit Back, the screen kind of fades away (the default Android exit animation). It would be nice if it zooms back out.
- like @orville87 said, it would be easier on the eyes to express the units in scientific notation.
- Pluto isn't a planet anymore, right?
I would have asked for info on extraterrestrial moons, but it would seem too outrageous a request.
Subscribed, awaiting further updates
Which of those are the app that is being shown here:

Not enough information. Can you tell me how is this app better than the others universe related apps in Google Play? I appreciate your effort but if you want your app to be competitive he should add more features or at least more info because the info included here is common and can be found in wikipedia for example. There are also apps who also provide 3D model of the solar system with the orbits of all planets.
I'm not trying to offend you, don't get me wrong.

For being a high school student and balancing life and school and this, I take pride in the work that I've done. Sure there are better apps than mine with more info and awesome 3D renderings of planets, I'm not afraid to admit that. However, I'm proud of the work I've done and if people don't recognize that it IS work from a high school student and not some average middle-aged developer, then so be it. Thanks for your feedback :good:

As I said in the beginning of my post I appreciate what you do because I love astronomy and physics so it's good beginning and I'm not hating. But yet you needed something to stimulate you to develop your app. I wish you all best and I'm sure that you'll keep developing this app until it becomes competitive to all the apps out there.

Hi everyone,
just wanted to show you guys a new app I've been working on for quite some time.
When I started the project I was working on a real-time-strategy-game for android, but creating all the assets took me so much time, that I soon began looking out for good spriting- / pixel-art- / painting- program for my mobile device in order to be able to work on my sprites when on the train or somewhere not in front of my home-computer.
As I was pretty much disappointed with what the market had to offer (no offense against the creator of pixelesque: that app simply didn't exist at that time), I started work on an own program.
It took me a very long time to actually get the app halfway done (because I have been very busy with university and other stuff) but a few days ago I finally released a first version of it and since I am working very hard on improving the app wherever possible.
Youtube announcement video: youtube.com/watch?v=gbw-I6Z-1w0
The app on google play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.subgate.spritestudio
If you guys like spriting/pixel-art please check out the app, I'd love to hear your feedback/wishes/suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Features I'm already working on:
- Color palettes
- Mirror-Painting-Mode
- Layer
- Onionskin for animations
- Spritemap autopacking
Nice App / UI could be better...
Hello isam2k,
first of all i would like to let you know that i really think this app is great and you have several fantastic ideas in there. Nice work :good:
From a UI standpoint i think you could improve the overall experience.
For example the Create New Picture pop up dialog. Wouldn't it be nice if you'd offer 3 Icons for (32x32 / 64x54 / Custom)
Users could instantly choose one size and it would take away from making to much decisions out of the box.
I have tons of ideas for you wonderful app. If you like you can pm me.
cheers
David
@Neosushi68
Thanks a lot for your feedback. If you don't mind, just post your ideas right here, maybe others will have good ideas as well and so they can immediately see what already has been suggested.
Offering pre-set sizes as well is actually a good idea, definitively a feature I am going to add (maybe not with buttons but with a spinner offering some presets).
Ok just had a force-close-report from a user. If you guys try out the app and a FC happens, please do not forget to send the report, this helps so much.
If, for some reason, you are unable to send me the report, then please post me the following information here:
[Device][ROM],
[ErrorMsg],
[Random error/Error in response to interaction]
[If interaction -> Describe last interaction]
[If random -> Describe app state (open dialogs, etc)
Thanks in advance.

Ok was really busy but I finally uploaded Sprite Studio 0.2.1b. This update basically introduces palettes and also comes along with some bugfixes.
If run into problems when using the palette editor, consider watching my tutorial video first:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFYLLMRbJsE
I've lurked around here for a number of years but this is my very first post.
Hello! How do you do?
Ok now that the pleasantries are out of the way ... :laugh:
This app was an idea suggested by my wife. She wanted to prepare meals for a month so she could trick me into cooking them on a regular basis. Fail. Diving through her recipe books/websites was cumbersome and she eventually backed off of that due to the time requirement of planning the menu ... any maybe my reluctance to cook them hahaha.
Enter, the automated menu planner. It automatically plans dinner entrees on a weekly, semiweekly, or monthly basis. It learns what you like and creates your menu with other recipes that you may enjoy.
Here is the list of features thus far :
- Automatically planned dinner entrees
- Automatically populated and groomed grocery list.
- Filter recipes containing disliked ingredients.
- A DashClock extension that shows today's entree on the home/lock screen (Android 4.2+)
- Simple UI for tablets and phones.
- Optionally notifies you when it creates a new menu plan.
- Free (w/ads)
There are many more features to come. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Since i'm not at the magic/10 post limit yet, search the Google Play Store for Automated Menu Planner (org.doors.sliding.amp). I'll update the post with a direct link once I pass the limit.
Looks interesting. Here is your link:

Of course, and I will give this a go soon. In a month I lose my job and take on the cooking for myself and my wife, and we are both indecisive when it comes to dinner, so I can see something like this really helping me make those tough decisions.

Updated to v 1.1.
Fixed a few bugs. Touched up the help screens.
Got tired of the text on the startup screen so I replaced it with a comically large icon. I might find something more appropriate for that area later.
I'm riding the DashClock hype train . I've added an extension to my app that shows today's planned entree on the lock/home screen for Android 4.2+.
Introduction
Memotion is a voice journal/diary application that uses the technology of Beyond Verbal Communications (BVC) to emotionally analyse the speaker.
As well as analysing your diary entries, there is also a 'Quick Analysis' feature, so you can capture the innermost thoughts and underlying emotions of what anyone is truly feeling when they are speaking......
This application was created firstly to showcase the technologies of BVC, so a little about them:
Beyond Verbal
The Emotions Analytics world leader. Its patented technology enables machines to understand the dimension of human emotions from their raw voices in real-time as they speak. Following 18 years of research into the mechanisms of the human intonation the company has developed a technology that extracts an individual's full set of emotions and character traits, using their raw vocal modulations.
Beyond Verbal's software was founded on 18 years of research by physicists and neuropsychologists, who studied more than 70,000 test subjects in 33 languages. The ability to extract, decode, and measure human moods, attitudes and decision-making characteristics, introduces a whole new dimension of emotional understanding, called Emotions Analytics™.
Led by a veteran management team of industry professionals, the company's goal is to leverage its unique abilities to impact a new multi-billion market of emotionally-enhanced applications installed in practically any voice enabled, voice activated, or voice controlled device.
What else does it do?
Memotion captures the inspiration for your journal entries by embedding related content directly into the audio file. This way, there is no danger of it becoming lost or fragmented over time, with database entries and text documents becoming deleted with a change of storage or a device wipe etc etc.
Memotion uses the FLAC audio codec container to embed the following:
Images
News
Emotions
Weather
Location
Web links
Transcript
Today in History
Friends
^ There's more to come in future releases...
I hope in this way, the application will beautifully visualise a moment in time and all that was related to it.
** Disclaimer - At the moment it does not do it beautifully! It's just there.... But it will do soon :victory:
If you're a user of utter! then Memotion will share your emotion analysis and it will become the first 'Virtual Assistant' to have an understanding of its user's emotional psyche - A context that is more useful to the imagination, rather than direct implementation as of right now!
Download Link
Here is the link to the installation

Memotion has been reliant on a lot of third-party resources to make it a reality:
Beyond Verbal Communications
Card Library
JAudioTagger
JavaFlacEncoder
JSoup
Tricorder
Android Visualiser
MediaWiki
Universal Image Loader
A huge thanks to the creators and contributors of the above.
I need your help!
Are you a budding user interface designer? Think you know how to beautifully visualise what 'Today' means to people?
Can you imagine how a Memory should be visualised to a user when they return in the future?
Then I need you........
I don't enjoy user interface design and I'm terrible at arty stuff.... and that's an understatement!
If you think you've got what it takes and would like to get involved in this project, please post!

I think this is exact reason why not ever give ETAs. Very soon means in my mind today, and very very soon means in next 3 hours. But still no link...
Anyway no rush man, just do your magic that need to be done. I see it does not work on non English langueges (yet), will it work for a English speaking foreigner? I mean accent and this stuff might be a obstacle?

I really hoped it would be moments, but unfortunately the privacy policy needs adjusting - Might still be a few days.
The analysis is language agnostic, so it will work for any language. However, the analysis descriptions (and app content) is currently only in English. Hopefully with some user help, we can update this soon.

Hello XDADevs,
I have built an Android App that should work as a calculator for complex numbers. It can do simple tasks such as add two numbers but can also factorize a polynomial or solve one for its roots. I have created different layouts for Smartphones and Tablets and would like feedback from user here. Of course, anyone is welcome, but I'd especially like someone with a mathmatical background to try and make my calculations break. Results can be easily shared in text format.
The app can be downloaded via Google Play here and is available in english and german:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.vertedge.complexnumbers
@WeissenbornC I have a further maths exam in a few months which includes lots of this sort of stuff, and although I wasn't looking for an app like this, I saw the name had "numbers" in and was interested it looks like it would definitely be useful for checking if I've correctly found roots of polynomials like you say and things like that; I'll do some revision over the weekend and see if your app gets the right answers! (Hopefully I will too :silly: )

Thanks, I hope the app will help. The limitation is that results are found as decimal values, e.g. the square root of 2 will be 1.41... The exact result depends on the number format, which you can set yourself in the settings.

I hope I didn't disappoint too much: The matrix part leads to my other app on the playstore, which is free for real (meaning java double) numbers, but does cost money for complex numbers. The amount of money should be less than your average chocolate bar however.
Thanks all for the feedback, it's very much appreciated.
I wanted to thank you guys for bringing my app to the front page. I was surprised and it still gets me smiling to this day that the best resource I know out there on mobile development noticed my little dot on the screen of the app world.
I also changed the name of the app to "Complex Numbers Calculator", because, after all, to be seen takes more than making a great app today.
Hi!
My name is Maria, I live in Minsk (Belarus)
I am a web designer and I was thinking of creating my own project for a long time
But what could I do?
I thought about the things I really like. And decided to make an application dedicated to the rich amazing drink - coffee
I collected 100 best recipes of cold coffee, hot coffee, coffee cocktails and alcohol coffee. Besides I added 25 recipes of wonderful bakery with coffee.
It was not so easy but I am proud of the collection.
I also joined great pictures to each recipe for you to see the approximate result
My husband coded the app. Together we worked hard on each detail - starting from colors and up to animations and interactions
We wanted to make an app that you will like and enjoy daily.
We wanted to share our recipes collection and our love to coffee with everyone.
Today I am happy to introduce you our application for Android OS - COFFEE WORLD
The application is absolutely free, has no ads and requires no permissions!
You can find it on Google Play, Samsung Market and Amazon
I will be happy to receive your comments and opinions to make the app even better and more usable so don't hesitate to contact me with your feedbacks!
Have a great day!!!
It's a wonderful app.! So cute and the animations are great! I wouldn't change a thing about it. If I had to, I'd say add touch feedback on the cards, and I'd change the opening animation on the coffee recipe card, something about the expanding thumbnail seems off to me. A header on the main page with a logo would be aesthetically pleasing too, as well as removing the back arrow on the front page as I don't really see it as an essential feature. All in all, you both did a great job on the app! These are just minor issues that shouldn't even be considered issues haha I'm just giving my feedback so I can help you out. It's also 5 am here and I can't sleep so I said why not ☺ I'll be keeping this with me btw the recipes seem to be real interesting
Here's the play store link so people can download it:

Sure, we will add new recipes periodically
At the moment we try to make the app more usable and attractive
A "Favorites" feature would be nice too. Maybe like a little star option so people can go back to the recipes that they like. It'd be a nice addition to fill in that last empty spot in the front page
