[APP] Bookmarks Light - Beta testers needed. v1.2 (new version 2/2/11)

hello xda. i'm a new android developer, and this is my first android app. i've been doing web development for 14 years, and this is my second mobile phone app (first was for windows smartphone 5.0).
the idea is that i wanted a quick way to view and open my browser bookmarks. usually, one has to open the browser first, possibly wait for it to reload whatever page was last viewed, open the bookmarks view, and find your bookmark in an unsorted list.
my solution is a lightweight app that simply displays your browser bookmarks, allows you to sort them in various ways, lets you search by name, provides the ability to edit and delete them, and gives you the option to choose which browser to open them with. you can quickly open any bookmark with two finger presses. one to launch the app, and one to open the bookmark. it's nothing fancy, but it does save a little time.
the app shows your system bookmarks, so you are looking at and managing the same bookmark database that the default browser uses. any changes made in either this app or the browser, will be reflected in the other.
for a little icing on the cake, you can choose a background image for your bookmarks list. i like to use my home screen wallpaper from launcher pro.
if you find a bug, or the app crashes, please post a detailed description of what happened. reports like "it crashed" or "this sucks" don't help me. please try to reproduce the problem, and post the steps required to do so. also please state what device you're using, and what version of android you're running.
the app requires android 1.6 or above.
this app is licensed under this creative commons license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/
changelog:
1.2 - share a link from any app with Bookmarks Light to create a new bookmark. you can also now share a link from within Bookmarks Light.
1.1 - add new bookmark feature
1.0 - release version. no code changes. now in Android Market!
0.9.3 - fixed force close on eclair (2.1). added move to sd ability for froyo.
0.9.2 - added tips dialog. license change. gingerbread compatibility. app renamed to Bookmarks Light.
0.9.1 - added "about" dialog, and changed names of tabs

great, thanks!

anyone? bueller? i need a few people to at least install it and confirm it works on some other devices before i release it on the android market.

So far working great. On Miui 12.03. Wonder if you could set default browser for each bookmark and note it next to each in the list? Nice job! Like the wp choice too.

thanks. glad to hear it's working. i uploaded a new version with minor tweaks. upgrading is unnecessary, unless you feel like it.
i did consider saving the choice of browser for each bookmark. that would require a separate database to store that data, since there is nowhere for it to go in the system bookmarks database. perhaps a feature for version 2.0.

Interesting. What version of Android do you have? Custom rom, or stock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Awesome! Downloaded. Going to try it on my SGS Vibrant running 2.2 JK6. Would love to see this app also available as a scrollable widget that could occupy a whole empty home screen if resized by Launcher Pro Plus and the like.
UPDATE: Tried all six menu options and all Tabs. Multiple browsers. Installed quickly without issue. App responds well and scrolls smoothly. No FCs here. Well done!

Installed on MIUI 0.11.26, I really like it so far. All buttons are working.
Suggestions for upcoming versions:
-Folders
-Thumbnail view
//Edit Export/Import, yes

I would like to see the ability to save and restore my bookmarks.
That is one of the pains with doing a wipe when trying new ROMs - having to restore all the bookmarks. Of course, the saved bookmarks would have to be to an sdcard file or online since the wipe would get them if saved in app stores, right?

Works well on my Droid 2. Make it import my Dolphin bookmarks and I will be your best friend.
Sent from my DROID2 using Tapatalk

I'm assuming this utilizes the bookmarks already on your phone? I sync my bookmarks. So, say I sync them using an app, will this still pick up my bookmarks?

Real nice app! Works great on my desire.

MOD Android browser text size and desktop view

Hi there,
I use some internet browser like Dolphin and Opera, they are good enough with text size and desktop view but, i like more to use original stock android browser come with Note.
Only that feature is missing from stock Note browser.
I see there are same mod for Galaxy S II browser here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326967, but im not a developer, who can help to get it for Note browser? Im using KL7 ROM.
Thx.

Have you find something?

Haha,
Yes I found it, when ICS is coming for Note, my favorite browser is ICS browser+, have nearly all I need, including text wrap

Great replacement apps

I created this thread not only to help those who have root, but to also help those who choose not to root their phones
the first app replaces the Dialer, It's called "Osmino: contact manager"
the second app is very well know amoung the community, called "Chomp SMS", which combined with Osmino makes an elegant duo.
Third, is "WinAmp Free", great music player with an eye catching interface, supports multiple formats
fourth is "Dolphin Browser" because it supports flash by default, which is great since Adobe discontinued Official Android Platform.
fifth: If you're someone who is constantly switching roms, and experience troubles with APN, then download "Offline APN Database" you can browse through by worldwide APN's list, and the app will automatically fill in your APN for you.
Sixth: "Smart Launcher" because of it's Ultralow Memory footprint, and it's ability to theme itself based on 1000+ theme packs, compatible themes:ADW,GO,APEX,NOVA,etc.

good post man. I think im going to check out dolphin browser as I've heard way too many good things about it by now lol

Something else you may want to give a go

I've started using this really nifty app called Swapps, basically what the app does is you swipe the side of your screen(Similar to swipe pad) except, it's kind of like the blackberry Z10, it lists all your apps and has beautiful animations to tie it all together.
As for dolphin browser, I like all the add-ons, supports flash, and my favorite feature, you're able to choose your destination folder for your downloads, which not many mobile browsers do. I can download ZIPS straight to my root directory off the phone :cyclops:

G2x Favorite Apps
Hello Everyone,
These are my favorites:
1) Go Launcher Ex
2) Swapps - Outstanding!!!
3) exDialer & Contacts - Very Good
4) Dolphin Browser - Outstanding, very fast and can sync bookmarks and tabs from Google Chrome!! The BEST browser for the G2x as Chrome is not available for GB
5) All in one toolbox - one of the best I've found
6) Quickboot - so I can shut down or boot quickly
7) lgCamera......
The first 4 on the list are musts in my opinion, although I would like to hear opinions on alternative launchers.
Best,
Jon

One More
Oh yeah, number 8) Notification Toggle - Must have!!

Bro add "find on page" option to search keywords in lengthy detailed webpages. Another option if possible to browse image related webpages in "low quality or original quality". But download in original quality. Just an idea to save on data
About the performance just awesome work. Its amazing that u embedded soo many features in such small file size I wish to see even more apps developed by you in near future.

Nice work. I'll put it to the test during the next couple of days.
Just one question right away. Is it possible to edit bookmarks in-app? Some of my bookmarks were very long (including name and description). I couldn't find anything so I just used ES File Explorer to edit the bookmark file to my liking. Now my bookmark page is nicely arranged.

Damn i hate ads

Multi view HELP

I just got my new note pro tablet. maybe it's from 2014 but for me it's brand new.
anyway
I got it just as a drawing/sketching ideas tool.
i wish to use the multi view option to search photos as reference material and to view it while i work in an app like sketchbook pro.
In the right side menu bar i can see the browser Icon and i can drag it into the multi view.
BUT..
I can't see sketchbook pro , just some list of apps that i have no use for. like youtube and so...
how do i add apps to the side bar. and how do i use sketchbook pro with internet browser side my side in the multi view ???
Please help .
Thanks.

Download an app called multiwindow commander using play store and then you'll be able to use any app from multiwindow. Thank you for reading, Hope it helps in case it does hit the thanks button.

Not all apps are MultiWindow enabled. To do so, you will need to root and use an enabler.
Another option would be to use Penwindow. In that case you leave the Sketchbook app in full screen, and put the gallery on top of it in a floating, resizeable, movable window. That's what I always do.

You can't use multi window for that, but you can use a pen window to do it. I think a lot of people forget about the pen window and I use it a lot with sketchbook. I just open sketch book full window and then use a pen window to view whatever you need for a reference.

If you want to enable multiple window for an application without root you can use MW-PEN App Enabler by Experiacle. This application will take the APK file of the app you are trying to enable multi window for and process it to add the needed code to it. You then reinstall the processed APK and will get multi window support for the app. The problem is when done this way the app will no longer be updated by the play store since the signature of the app changes when processed. This means if you're enabling an app that gets updated frequently and you want it updated you will need to manually uninstall it and reinstall it and reprocess it frequently.
