Hi there!! I am currently studying software engineering and as a grad thesis I have developed an android application to browse a movie, series and actors/directors database. You may think, what´s the difference with IMDB or Wikipedia?? Well, this app has two big differences: it´s lite and it has offline functionality.
It´s lite because it only brings the absolutely needed information everytime you search something. For every movie, series or person you search it only downloads about 20kb or 30kb plus its image, which can be disabled or limited to wifi.
It´s offline because not only saves the articles that you have searched but it also synchronize with a server and authomatically downloads articles searched by other users. This way, you can access them offline later. This sync also doesn´t spend network data as it can be configured only for wifi use or it can be disabled.
For those interested, I tell you how it works. The info is taken from a Google´s Freebase API and, as it looks for articles it creates documents for a local NoSQL CouchDB database that syncs with a server. It´s a very shallow explanation but I don´t want to bore everybody. However, I will gladly explain it in a more detailed way to anyone who wants.
I attach some pics and and you can look for this in the play store ( i cand post links ) :
Lite Movie Database
To sum it up, thanks to everybody that read up to here. I hope some of you are interested in the app, and those who don´t, if you just wanna download it and use it a bit , would be really helpful .
Thank you!!!!!

Sent you a pm.
Works really well and fast too. Just what I have been looking for. Had one fc when clicking on a cast member link, but second time around it was fine.

I love RSS feeds, but they are not as convenient to use, are they?
I did some routing of the feeds and some tinkering with the gReader pro app.
Here are the results:
1. Offline cached with all images (magazine/flipboard/peopeller like)
{
"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"
}
2. Full articles in feed
Here is what i did:
1.Converted all feeds to full feeds using fulltextrssfeed.com
2. gReader settings:
Enable offline usage
3. Check to cache feed images, audio and video. Don't check load full content (it loads the webpage)
4. I changed theme to dark and enabled fullscreen, but it is up to you
And you are ready to go.
After feeds are synced, images/audio will be downloaded.
gReader pro is available on market at: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.noinnion.android.greader.readerpro
Free version is also available.
Hope it helps you guys in having a good time reading RSS feeds with convenience and style.
No response. RSS is dead perhaps.
Many thanks for all the effort into writing this post .. The ability to download full feeds will be very useful to me. I think I will stick to pulse though... It just feels so slick compared to greader that I can't bear to convert. even though I wish it could download images for offline viewing too.

thanks!

Thanks man!
I've always been annoyed by search widgets taking me away from my beloved home screen to open an app instead of simply popping up a keyboard for me, allowing me to write directly my search query, like the iPhone -I don't care if you're a fan boy or if you hate it, I like that feature, deal with it.
After trying a few widgets, I noticed that all of them insisted on launching a separate app, which obviously means two things: no cool transparency/blur effects were used, and (as a result) my wallpaper went bye-bye every time I decided to search for something.
Anyway, long story short, I decided to give a shot at making a simple widget, just the way I want it, using Zoom and Tasker. And what started as a simple input-your-text-then-click-"Go"-to-launch-the-search-app-with-your-query grew. It grew to the point that I can now present you people with an acceptable build-it-yourself! (almost) fully functional widget.

Grab the full tutorial: View attachment 1324497.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Please read the tutorial before asking questions.
Project download: View attachment Dialer.prj.rar
Extract it, then import Dialer.prj.xml into Tasker.
You'll still need to manually re-add the pictures/icons used in the scenes.

Really very helpful tutorial. Never been worked with widget and tasker. This tutorial helps a lot! Will try this weekend and let you know!!
Added a download link, so you can quickly import it to Tasker. You'll still need to manually re-add the pictures/icons used in the scenes.
First of all thanks for writing this wonderful tutorial and giving the profile. I imported it and did everything using the tutorial but, when i dial a number it doesn't show up anything. I hope you can help
---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------
Actually I am trying to implement a very simple profile, which intercepts all outgoing calls to carry out an action (HTTP post) using the dialed number instead of actually dialing it using the phone but using simple profile it doesn't work as the variable %CONUM update is fishy (sometimes it works, mostly doesn't). I hope using your profile I can get the problem solved.
Important: the application can work without Internet connection!

It's more of a tool kit than a detector, otherwise I think it's great for it's purpose

Hey, BachMinuetInG!
Thanks for your review.. Yeah, it's actually tool for travelling purposes. It's great that you like it. Hopefully it will be helpful for you. Because sometimes we need something like this tool instead of real GPS Navigations.

Will try to apply material design to improve the UI of the app. Hmm, I have used default compare page provided by GSMArena, it is same there. Will try to carve something out better...

Bro, I can make this app. However, I am little concerned now, whether this is any issue w.r.t. google play policy.
