New users: consider Android Tiny Television Time Tracker
DroidShows still uses an old API version of TheTVDB. This worked just fine until recently, but in May 2023, many bugs were introduced into the API (episodes were missing or duplicated). These bugs have now been resolved (as of May 22nd, 2023), but the legacy API will eventually be deprecated.
This fork of DroidShows uses TMDB to gather the show data instead of TheTVDB and thus should be considered for new users.
DroidShows
This fork of DroidSeries adds quite a bunch of features, among which an improved design, a menu overflow button, pinning, quick search and filters, separate archive/backlog list, a last seen episodes log, swipe gestures, more show information, backup/restore, double episode entries prevention, faster updating, cover and fan art view, a modern launcher icon and it speeds up responsiveness significantly by (more) efficient SQL queries and some threading. DroidShows only needs an internet connection when updating the show info or watching full-size posters.
DroidShows can now be found in the F-Droid Repository.

Changes in v7.11.2
Don't reload search results after adding a show
Possibly prevent delays in main and seasons activities by making AsyncTasks static
v7.11.1
Decrease pull-to-refresh delay from 1000 to 500ms
Instead of crashing, show an error toast if no Calendar app was found
Don't restart activity when rotating
v7.11.0
Preliminary statistics: per-show total seen time (calculated with the average episode runtime)
Bring back "Include/Exclude seen" option in main menu (faster than "Filter shows")
Make versioning of backups optional
Fix daily backups trigger by disabling write-ahead logging for database (which is enabled by default since Android 9)
Trigger automatic backup in onStop() instead of onDestroy(), since the activity could apparently stay opened for days and backups would not be created
Changed HttpURLConnection to HttpsURLConnection (#89)
External resources: add https:// to URLs without :// instead of http://
Refactoring: renamed some methods, same name for per-show and per-season methods
v7.10.2
Fixed: touching the right edge of the screen triggered onBackPressed()
Fixed: onBackPressed() could be triggered twice
Improved mark next episode gesture detection (don't scroll vertically during gesture)
v7.10.1

Oh wow, that's odd, thanks for reporting! Since DroidSeries is using a default "searchable" element, which cannot be styled (other than hacking into it), it uses your ROM's default settings. Are you sure you haven't seen this transparency in another app? From the status bar icons in the screenshot, it looks like you're using a custom ROM (or at least some kind of theme customization), it might just be that the searchable / SearchView has been overlooked by the themer. Please let me know if this helps finding the cause, or if you can find another phone having the same problem with just my fork of the app. Thanks!
I have made some changes since, so a re-download is recommended (it's got the same version number, really small changes, attached to my previous post 1 minute ago), but it's not yet search-related, so looking forward to your reply
(by the way, I just couldn't get used to XenoAmp Using ArmAmp )
@ltGuillaume, you are right,it's a theme issue,it's using some transparency,after uninstalling the theme,the search field looks fine. sorry about that.☺
OT:regarding xeno amp, I'm using it for over a year, but in the beginning was difficult to get used to such a non convencional player?, but it's a very good one, and with a good developer, about ArmAmp, it's such an awesome player too?, with a ton of features.
Finally got the ellipsize="marquee" working properly with the customized ImageView class for the posters. Note to self: never blindly trust someone else's code...
Was about to ask what that means, but I figured it was the issue with checkbox, immediately after installing the new version. ?

Actually the checkboxes should've been fine all along If you find it too cumbersome to click the checkbox (and keep ending up in the episode info page), you can tick the option in [About] to use the entire line to check/uncheck an episode. Long-pressing will still get you into episode info. I usually just swipe right-to-left in the overview to check a new episode as seen. BUT I just had another look at the checkboxes and it should be a lot easier to check/uncheck them now
The issue I had was basically that some padding wasn't taken into account by the poster's View in the overview screen. In turn, this meant that any ellipsizing (either fading, like now, or "..." when text becomes too long for the view) was indeed done, but just off-screen Quite annoying to figure that out , as you can imagine
I just tested this thing on a tablet for the first time and I found and fixed a couple more issues concerning the poster. Android is sooooo picky and annoying, it's... just like web design
New v3.81 on previous page.
Some hidden settings in About, lol, the only place I didn't look☺. I mention the checkbox, cause in the previous version I saw a ugly zoom, when checked. Now it's fine.
I'm sorry that must've been the theming again I don't use a custom checkbox image, nor do I scale it in any way, so must've been that again. Nevertheless I heard before that it was difficult to actually check/uncheck an item while not unintentionally ending up in the episode description, so thanks to your mentioning of an unrelated problem I still managed to fix that one in the end

@ltGuillaume, what do you think of removing the date from next episode,leaving only next S02E01,as it's strange to see 2005 and so on dates there?,yes still catching up on some tv shows?,and to keep only date for next aired episodes.dont know if u find this interesting,but just leave you my though anyway.thanks
Hmz I get what you mean, it's probably not that useful other than that you can kinda guess at a glance of the "next next" episode will be available soon, too (say the "next episode of a weekly show was 6 days ago, you might as well want to wait another day and see two in a row). The not-so-useful reason I left it was that I like the context of when it was aired (e.g. Christmas time or Halloween are quite often pointers to what kind of episode it'll be, or just to reminisce on what I was doing back then which is hard now I'm watching Miami Vice as I wasn't born yet in 1984 )
HTC Desire CM7/2.3.7
[MiXplorer Skins Gallery] - [2015 DroidSeries Reboot]
Guess im getting old then,as I saw Miami Vice,back in the days, and Macgyver,that im watching again,thought I can't really remember what I was doing back then,?
Haha cool. Started rewatching it some time ago, but it damaged its "epicness" a bit, to be honest :$ I videotaped so many MacGyver episodes I think I still can find ten of those tapes or so in the attic Think I was 8-9 or so back then, so definitely didn't watch it "live", but yeah loved it

Thanks! And it's an honor, sir! No worries man, you did most of the work already And it's a (good) learning experience for me without having to start from scratch while improving an app that I was using regularly anyway, perfect combination

Just released a new version with one small and one bigger change:
I found the bold style of the "Next Episode:" line too distracting when quickly scrolling through the list to find a show. Plus it was redundant since now new episodes not aired yet already are presented darker (disabled).
In overview, an Undo option will become available in the menu as soon as you marked an episode as seen (via swipe or a show's context menu). Useful when you triggered the swipe operation by accident, for example, or didn't get to the end of the episode just yet. Remembers all marked episodes, until you exit, or Android destroys the app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3183301&d=1424874036
@ltGuillaume,about the undo option, if I understood correct, if I mark episodes as seen and then I go back to main page, and press the menu, I will have the option to undo, right? I tested the function but I didn't find the undo option. Another curious behaviour here, is the swype, if I swype from right to left it acts like a back key!? Any thoughts on this? By the way I'm running lollipop on the nexus4. thanks

Sorry, you misunderstood As said, the Undo option only kicks in on the shows overview screen when using the swipe function or a show's context menu option to mark the next episode as seen. Why? Well, because when you're already in a season's episode list there are checkmarks to easily mark an episode seen or unseen again. This was only meant for use from within the start/overview screen.
Do you think it's useful for the situation you described? I could implement it of course, but I don't know if anybody would use it...
Swiping from right to left was initially implemented for the overview screen only: swipe and the next episode of that show will be marked as seen. As I had this routine lying around anyway, I used it in all the OTHER screens to allow you to quickly go back to the previous screens. This works quite nicely, but I agree it's rather unorthodox. However, it's described well in the changelog, and nobody's forced to use it either
HTC Desire CM7/2.3.7
[MiXplorer Skins Gallery] - [2015 DroidSeries Reboot]
OK, no, I think swype to go back is great, I just thought it was a unexpected behaviour, but swype to mark as read is only on the overview page, OK then, guess I'm still learning how to use it?
Is this better or worse? Background a bit translucent (not too much, coz I think it would otherwise be too distracting....)
Another thing I cannot check is whether there's still an Action Bar with the overflow (...) button in this version (I'm on Android 2.3).

Feature Requests:
* Please consider an application icon that reflects the comic-centric nature of this reader.
* Right-To-Left Manga reading was chosen as default, should be Left-To-Right, or have a dialog asking the user what he reads most frequently mangas or US comics, and choose accordingly.
* When going to the next page, please move the page to the top corner, right now it moves to the center of the next page. Same for previous page.
* Option to force screen on all the time while reading
* Option to force screen brightness while reading
* Option to show low battery warning while reading
* Pinch-to-zoom - it's just too convenient and expected by users
* Homescreen Widget 2x2/3x3 - the latest opened comic book/page. Shows the latest opened/read page, and in its corner a smaller thumb of that comic book's cover. Also info about the name and the page number, both optional from widget settings.
* Playlist (Reading Order) management.
* Shortcuts - create Playlist or a Folder into a screen shortcut. When clicked, move to the latest opened comic on it's latest read page from that Playlist or Folder.
Do most of these (Playlist may require more effort but is worth it) and slap a 2.99$ price, and I'll buy it immediately.

Thank you for your suggestion.
1.I'm a programmer not art designer. So my art sense is not enough to design a good icon. I'll try to think other design.
2.I make this software is mainly for read Japanese comic(Manga). So I make Right-To-Left as default. Maybe show a dialog to let user choose on first startup is a good idea.
3.Yor may try set page origin to reading direction
Menu -> Browse -> Reading direction
4~7. I'll add these function in future.
8~10. I don't have plan to add these function currently. There is many other function need to add. Maybe I'll consider these when I completed other function.
This app is great, small but powerful, thanks for you work!

XDA is rife with designer talent that is eager to work for quality projects, so maybe you should just look around and ask for art/theme designers to land a hand or provide assets for backgrounds, etc? You will be surprised just how much your app will be improved with proper artwork.
Very nice app, fast and powerful. I have been looking for a simple sequential image viewer like this since I got my Android phone and I've tried quite a few; this is the best I've seen yet.
What I like:
Fast interface
Customizable touch zones allow quick zooming and navigation
Good format support
Can browse into directories that start with a dot
A few improvements I'd like to suggest:
I like the option to select the resampling method, but nearest-neighbor doesn't look very good and the other options perform too slowly on my phone to be practical. Other image viewers (such as the default Gallery) seem to handle image scaling with a better quality/performance tradeoff. Also it seems like there is an off-by-one error when selecting the sampling method, when I select a method I always get the method just above the one I selected.
It would be nice if there was an option for automatically switching screen orientation when the phone is rotated. Also, when I switch orientation the app steps forward to the next page, I think it should stay on the same page.
I don't see a long-press action, that could be another configurable action. It might be useful to display the touch commands on long press in case you forget some of the less-used commands and need a reminder. Or it could be configured to execute some other action.
The app is not too big currently, but it is larger than some other similar apps. For example ACV is under 300KB.
All in all, great app! Thanks for releasing it and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

1.You can choose Averaging method it's have normal image quality and fast.
And you found a bug I'll fix it soon.
2.Automatically switching screen orientation will be add in future. You found another bug I'll fix it soon.
3.I don't have plan to add long-press action currently.
4.Because this app is use native c++ library(libpng,libjpeg etc.) to handle image&archive files so will be a little bigger
Can you make the app show thumbnail's of the jpg/png (not the comic book files)? This way, I can finally get rid of the android gallery app. I will gladly donate if this feature can be done.

fantastic app!
lol, i think i've been using this more than any other as of late.
just wish it would render a little faster on anything other than 'averaging' and 'nearest-neighbor' as the quality of the others are much better, but don't think there's much you can do about that.
again, awesome!
Hello,
I apologize in advance because English is not my native language.
I try to use your program in a tablet, SmartQ V7, with these features:
Android 2.1
600MHz ARM11 CPU
Memory 256MB DDR II RAM
Virtual Cache 128MB
The problem is that when you open the comic book closes automatically.
I tried the following:
Close all aplicaiones to free memory, free memory getting about 80 MB,
Turn off cache in settings
I would love to test your application as it is highly recommended.
Thank you very much

600MHz ARM11 CPU
Memory 256MB DDR II RAM
Virtual Cache 128MB
The problem is that when you open the comic book closes automatically.
I tried the following:
Close all aplicaiones to free memory, free memory getting about 80 MB,
Turn off cache in settings
I would love to test your application as it is highly recommended.
Thank you very much

Version 1.2 is a great improvement, the new UI is very smooth and has a profesional feel to it.
Still, there's one minor annoyance that's fairly easy to fix and will greatly improve my experience with your comic viewer. I like the slide command where instead changing the page, the screen slides down the page until it reaches the bottom, then changes the page. What I find annoying however is that the distance the screen slides is not configurable. It would be great if we can change the screen slide distance. The slide distance can be a value that chan be changed with a slider, or presets based on fractions of the page height, i.e. 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2.
Thanks a lot.
I have Android as the operating system in my tablet (10" Eken M006). Before knowing Perfect Viewer, I would prefer my images in PDF, despite some problems, but now I have changed my mind. Your application has some interesting qualities (that Documents-To-Go lacks when opening PDF files):
1. It fits the image no matter the size of the previous one.
2. It remembers last viewed page.
3. The page does not rotate automatically, what is a bless. I suffer a lot when the page rotates by itself. It would be great if you added a "page rotating" function.
Page orientation is not the problem. I read many Western reading books, and pressing the screen on the left or the right side is indifferent.
The application will be even better if it could open other image formats, like GIF and BMP. If you could include PDF files, it would end up simply perfect.
Thanks a lot for the great job.

Thank you for your suggestion. But currently I have no plans to add this function. Maybe I'll consider it after complete other function.

WOW! I've been using TeamViewer to do this until now!
Thank you very much! Gonna try it as soon as I get home and post the results!
____________________________
Didn't get around to posting last night, but here's a quick review:
- in the ~15 minutes I played around with it, it behaved really well!
- I only once got disconnected (but that was probably the network's fault), but soon afterwards it reconnected normally
- I really like all the options present (congrats for including all the normal stuff we do with our video players ), but if I may, I have a suggestion: when going from one interface to the other, the user has to slide a finger on the screen... if he/she isn't careful, then upon sliding, the volume will get turned down instead of the new screen appearing. Also, the user has no way of knowing that there are other screens present... so, I would make use of the tabs interface present everywhere in Android (this would also sort the sliding thing).
Even better, I would merge the first two interfaces, maybe keep the slider for seeking and use a "volume increase" (that triangular thing made of bars) graphic for the... volume part , as well as make the play/pause a toggle rather than two buttons.
I hope this helps... thank you again for your work and once again: great stuff!

I agree with everything said above... ESPECIALLY how good this app is
I use BSPlayer for all Tv Shows and this comes in SO handy.
wonderful job!
I know I'm jumping way forward but it just occurred to me now that you could also use the same interface for different media players in the same app. all the user has to do is choose the media player he'd like to control and.. voila!
I'm willing to beta test of course.
Amazing! Thankyou! I alternate between BSPlayer and GOMPlayer, as I find GOMPlayer easier to control remotely, but this may cause me to switch
I particularly love how smooth browsing folders and files are (one point: I have a folder with 800 unsorted files in it, and this caused the server software to crash, which is no biggie really, considering the strain I put it under!)
I ditto the comments above, and will add that I did not find the second interface until I saw this post. Also, I cannot find out how to launch BSPlayer, and cannot launch files until I've opened BSPlayer (which means I can't dump the mouse just yet!).
Also, there's inconsistencies in how the Back button works, which means I sometimes end up exiting the app when actually I just want to go back to the first interface.
(also I do agree on merging the main interfaces, or finding additional functions to make two screens necessary).
But overall, and for a first release, THIS IS AMAZING!! THANKYOU
Thank you for all this feedback.
I will fix all bugs you noticed and redo design a little so it will be more user friendly and more obvious for new users.
New release coming soon =)

Can you describe a little more how you managed to crash server?
And does it happen always on that folder?
New version of application is available on market.
Hey, Few recommendations.
1. Increase the size of the playng title.
2. unify 2 of the screens - have the volume, seek bar, play, pause and stop on the same screen (it's just so much more intuitive) and keep the playlist on another.
3. add an option to control multiple hosts by searching the LAN for the server. there are many homes with more than one media playing computer.
4. add a feature to load the imdb page (mobile browser)/imdb page (imdb app) of the currently played (or in the playlist) movie/tv show.
I love this app.
Thank you.
oh oh, also, if you could add an option to change the aspect ratio.. it would be nice.
Thank you for recommendations.
1. will be done
2. Well basic idea for 2 separate screens was that most basic controls play/stop/pause and volume are separated from others just to make pressing buttons simple. So you don't mistakenly press something else.
3. In next version autodetect for server will be implemented and in case of multiple detected servers user can choose where to connect.
4. Do you know how to get full title of a movie out of a file name that is not always name of a movie?
5. Will be added in next release
getting the title should depend on the file name. if the user is accurate enough, his files would be named accordingly. there are usually general patterns to the name (e.g. moviename.year.release....)
moreover, you can let the user write the pattern in which his files are named..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Hi, I did send this as a private message, but I thought I'd put it in the thread too:
First of all, I love it, I'm interested to see if it will edge out GRemote as my remote of choice. I think it will...
Some more UI things:
1) I love the file browsing interface - it's so smooth and clear, very nice!
2) I feel like the interface is missing a "Browse" button, otherwise you have to touch a hardware button, which feels more effort.
3) I'd also consider having the App open on the browse page, at least when it's opened for the first time.
4) I like the "quick remote" idea of the first screen, but I still miss having a Volume Remote on the second screen (alongside the progress bar)
5) When scrolling between screens it's quite easy to knock the progress bar
6) Thanks for improving the "Back" button but it still feels easy at time to exit the app, compared to how other apps work.
I've written this in a hurry so may send some more tomorrow or soon!
But again, it's becoming v good!
Also, you (gapipro) asked how I crashed the app with 800 files - I can't tell you now as I can't replicate it - as you fixed it! - but just to clarify, I crashed the app and not the server - I think it just froze or I force-closed it after a minute or something.
Anyway, BSRemote is now my official media remote!!
Potential ideas:
1) Have a "skip 10 seconds back/front" button
2) Pause playback on incoming phone-call
3) Have a very simple widget or two (for, e.g. Play/Pause), so I can have a control button directly on my homescreen!
4) If possible, screengrab a preview of the video, to display in the App.
5) As stated above, launch the App with the Browse menu, and have Browse as a soft-button on the interface.
6) Either have a very simple update process for the server (the best one to my mind is the one inside uTorrent) - and possibly have the updated .apks within the server, which can be pushed to the phone automatically - or even do the exact opposite, where you download the updated App from the market, and contained within it is the PC update, which then gets pushed to the PC. (Either way, it makes this a one-step update process and I hereby copyright this idea under the name "Updat-Ed" )
Much love!!

Thanks for another response
A lot of your ideas are very interesting and they will be implemented in next few releases.
Don't know if you have noticed but 10s front/back can be made by pressing + or - buttons under seek bar. And you can even change "length" of skip by pressing seek button (the clock like icon).
About that problem with switching panel. Do you swipe your finger to switch or you use that left and right hidden buttons?
New version 1.2.1 is available for download from market.
Change log (1.2.1):
- server autodetection
- support for aspect ratio
- buttons for next and previous item in playlist
- optimized usage of battery
- fixed few bugs and other stuff
Thanks for the newest update! Checking now... To answer your question, I'm swiping my finger, not the hidden buttons.
Another quick release 1.2.2 that fixes few bugs. =)
@smeddy: Yes swiping finger can be hard on 2nd panel thats why those buttons were made so you can switch panel without hitting anything. Or you can even use trackball if you have it.
New release 1.2.3 that fixed connection bug.

gapipro... was just wondering if the mentioned above is still taken under consideration
especially the multiple media players part.
Btw, I didn't really notice if the font of the playing title was increased..
Again, thank you so much for the wonderful work.
nir36: The best program to do what you want is GRemote. I'm a big fan of it, although BSRemote has now eclipsed it for my needs, and I've switched to using BSPlayer from other players such as GOMPlayer/VLC/WMP/XBMC etc. on my PC.

GRemote is too complicated and too graphical in my opinion. It's also not straightforward. You have many options which are just not necessary for me. bsremote is absolutely perfect when it comes to a media player remote... especially considering that BSPlayer is such a popular one.
thx tho.

Timetable is a versatile scheduler for your Android phone. If you have a recurring schedule you have to stick to, Timetable will help you keep track of it.

Your application has not Saturday and Sunday !!!
But i've classes this days
and i like to add end time of my classes !
Looks good, but i'll make two suggestions:
1- A widget. It's really handy to have one on the homescreen so i can view the class room easily.
2- we can choose the intervarls of the classes. for ex: 8:00 - 8:30 8:30 - 9:00....
also if you could implement a function to import holidays from google calendar would be really good.
I'm going to download and test it. Keep up the good work
I had an end time until I realised the end time ought to be the same as the start of the next period. I haven't met anyone who has classes on Saturday or Sunday before, I might be able to add them in though!
Thanks a Ton.....works perfectly on my G2x, Galaxy Nexus, SGS2 and HTC Sensation XE......It's a amazing!!!
very nice.

I had an end time until I realised the end time ought to be the same as the start of the next period. I haven't met anyone who has classes on Saturday or Sunday before, I might be able to add them in though!

in my country school starts from monday to saturday ..
and, your apps doesn't support landscape mode ?
Thanks a lot! Maybe to include a overview home page with an option to add additional notes about the day

An quick look page would be amazing and a widget.......
Awesome app for a student like me
Very good idea, but may I suggest allowing people to add sub-items or events under each class to list homework. If this was implemented I would absolutely use this. Keep up the good work!

It's locked in portrait mode for two reasons: It's not as useful in landscape, and people were getting weird crashes (the timetable disappeared and didn't come back until you force quit, which I've found still happens if you leave the app alone on the settings screen - it's some strange bug in the cursor object, I think). I might get on to making a landscape mode when I start working on the tablet optimisation, but that may not be for a while.
The weekend classes will probably need to wait too, I just don't think there's enough room on the screen to fit 7, or even 6, tabs. I'll implement the two days once I figure out how to use tabs as fragments, because then there won't be width constraints.
I'll start work on a widget first, depending on how difficult it is, expect the widget by this time next week, perhaps. I was planning on making it a premium feature, but since everyone seems to want it, I'll probably make it free, and find something else to be premium.
Hi thanks for the app i think its a brilliant idea and i love it so far!!
Just a request my school works on a 6 day cycle but we only have school from mon to fri so for example if mon is day 1 then the next mon would be day 6 and tues day 1 if that makes sense. I was wondering if there would be some way for me to use the app with this 6 day cycle?
Thanks again for the awesome app!

Found a bug:
When setting up you add activities. After this you build the time table.
If you put now a activity into the time table, then go back and rename it and press next again, the app force closes.
Just a little hint.
Anyway: awesome app.
Sent from my loved HTC Desire [email protected] <3
So it does! I'll look into it. Thanks for pointing me to the bug, but in future, could you email it using the "Report Bug" option in the app's settings?
Regarding the 6-day cycle, Bos1man, I don't know how I might implement that. I'll try my best to add that while I'm adding weekends and whatnot.
v0.8 will feature a widget or two, a slightly better UI in the timetable itself (with the current period highlighted), and a few bug fixes (the one Ditti4 found, hopefully, and also one I just found in the edit screen which ought to be easily fixed). It should be out by this time next week, we'll see.
EDIT: I've had a thought - I'm going to implement a backup/restore function with plain text files on the SD card. I'll pop some templates in the OP when that happens.
As for the bug with going back and changing an activity, I can only really say "don't do it" for the moment... I can't think of a good way to work around the bug short of deleting the items that you've changed the activity of. If that's a reasonable solution, fine, I'll do that, but I'm not sure it is...
Thanks appreciate u looking in to it

It think it should be ok.
And as solution for the 6-day-thing:
Maybe you can add the possibility to add as much weeks as we want. This would be enough for the start, I think.
And I will use the bug report option in the app in the future - but I didn't know that it is existing.
Sent from my loved HTC Desire [email protected] <3
If I understood Bos1man correctly, making it as many weeks as you want would require him to enter the same six days' worth of information 5 times in a row, which would be a horrendous bore. I'm sure there's something I could do to make this unnecessary. I'll need to think about it.
I'll be pushing 0.7.2 to the market by the end of the day (Australia). It will have a working backup, but no working restore. 0.7.1 is uploading currently, and features:
- Changed Donate button to PayPal donation link
- Fixed bug in edit screen with list flowing into buttons
- Added dummy Backup and Restore options in settings, they just make toasts
Nice. Will u add custom end time for classes like on Timetable? Here in Denmark classes are 45minutes...
Here are examples of widgets. Modded to have transparency.
No update link here? i haven't access to market !
the dropbox link is the old version (0.7-rc5)
Brand new app developer here. This is my first app. The app is free (though at some point I'd like to have an ad-supported / pro version).
LATEST UPDATE:
Ver. 2.2.0
----------
- LONG OVERDUE UPDATE!
- ADDED MANUAL ENTRY IN THE TIMESTAMPS PAGE!!! Just click the plus button in the top right corner of the project's timestamp page.
- Fixed issue with editing the check out times of timestamps!
- Fixed crash for new users who have no projects and attempt to access the the metrics pages. You must add projects to access those pages.
App can be found in the Google play market:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simpletimesheet
I would appreciate ANY feedback!
Thanks,
Justin
Ive been through a lot (at least all the free ones) of time sheet/ time tracking apps, and none of them really have everything I'm looking for... but it looks like this one covers just about everything I need. I'll keep you posted on my opinion of it as I use it, thanks again

Thanks for the reply!
What did you like specifically about this app? Let me know if there are any features you'd like to see, or if there are any interface issues that are bothering you!
Hi Justin,
I haven't been able to put your app through real-world use so I hope my following feedback helps in some regard.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the check in/delete buttons in favor of a click/click&hold context menu on each project row (where clicking anywhere in the row would check in or check out, and click&hold would have options like rename, delete, other). I want to keep the app simple and streamlined. Your thoughts?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think another option instead of the tap&hold is to implement the triangle on the right as in the Google Music app, that way it is visually intuitive.
Having a tap to check-in might be "difficult" for users to figure out. Maybe use a checkbox and highlight the row when they have checked in?
The date at the top is in a textview which is a bit deceptive since it cannot be edited, BUT good idea to auto fill that field.
The large ADD PROJECT button is good and makes sense.
I like that every option is on one screen and one can create a project in just a couple taps (excluding key presses).
I think the View Project Reports should be moved from the overflow menu and placed in the ActionBar.
Since the Weekly Project Reports screen is a separate activity there should be an up affordance in the top-left (App icon with a left-pointing arrow) to return to the main activity.
The first time you open the Weekly Project Reports the date textfield does not auto-populate with the current date; that also should be changed to a button of some kind.
This may be stretching it, but instead of the date picker dialog box you could use a month style picker, like the one in Business Calendar. I know Google implemented a numberpad in their updated Clock app for their time picker in Android 4.2. Did they do something similar with dates?
I think the state of the Decimal Format checkbox should be saved when the user leaves the Weekly Project Reports screen and restored when they view it at a later time.
Really cool idea on the landscape layout for the main activity!
The Generate Email Report should be put into the ActionBar as the Share icon, but I'm sure you're already working on that.
I don't think the Really Exit? dialog is necessary. It may scare the user in thinking that they forgot to click a save button.
AndroidDevelopers on YouTube are a group of Google developers and designers that take a technical in-depth look at Android apps nominated by their viewers and developers themselves. I'd recommend watching their series as they give some helpful tips on implementing certain things in your code, correct design patterns, and their Android Design in Action show, where they show Holo redesign mockups of Android apps, is pretty awesome. You can even nominate your app to be reviewed.
I think another option instead of the tap&hold is to implement the triangle on the right as in the Google Music app, that way it is visually intuitive.
Having a tap to check-in might be "difficult" for users to figure out. Maybe use a checkbox and highlight the row when they have checked in?
I'll look into the triangle menu.
The date at the top is in a textview which is a bit deceptive since it cannot be edited, BUT good idea to auto fill that field.
I was trying to maintain some symmetry in the GUI. If I can find something that looks better, I'll change it. A textview doesn't look right with the Project name editor underneath
The large ADD PROJECT button is good and makes sense.
I like that every option is on one screen and one can create a project in just a couple taps (excluding key presses).
I think the View Project Reports should be moved from the overflow menu and placed in the ActionBar.
GOOD CALL! I'm not familiar with using that, but it looks like the proper way to go.
Since the Weekly Project Reports screen is a separate activity there should be an up affordance in the top-left (App icon with a left-pointing arrow) to return to the main activity.
I'll look into it, but I've never used that feature in any app before. I always use the back button.
The first time you open the Weekly Project Reports the date textfield does not auto-populate with the current date; that also should be changed to a button of some kind.
I purposely leave that blank at start-up so that the "Click to select a Date" hint shows up. If you are suggesting to have a "Select Date" button next to a date textview, that is possible, but I thought the date box was intuitive enough. I'll consider it tho.
This may be stretching it, but instead of the date picker dialog box you could use a month style picker... I know Google implemented a numberpad in their updated Clock app for their time picker in Android 4.2. Did they do something similar with dates?
I think the state of the Decimal Format checkbox should be saved when the user leaves the Weekly Project Reports screen and restored when they view it at a later time.
I need to write/open a config file (or save to the database). It's coming in a future release
Really cool idea on the landscape layout for the main activity!
The Generate Email Report should be put into the ActionBar as the Share icon, but I'm sure you're already working on that.
Have not been working on that, but it's a good idea.
I don't think the Really Exit? dialog is necessary. It may scare the user in thinking that they forgot to click a save button.
I implemented that before I had a SQLite database. It will be removed.
Thanks for the great feedback!
Someone found a bug. Apparently if you click checkIn on a new project, or click the delete button for a project, and then double click "yes" on the pop-up window, the program crashes. I'll have to look into this tonight.

I thought that might be the case. I kind of want to leave work early so I can fix that bug lol... but alas, android development doesn't pay my bills
I've fixed this issue, and I've also prevented users from being able to double-click "Check In" or "X", which would result in 2 separate dialog windows (in the delete case, the second dialog fails on a 2nd yes click since the project no longer exists).
I'll probably be releasing a new version this afternoon. I'd like to see if I can get some additional features in first.
New version released
New version uploaded to the Google Play Market.
Version 1.0.2
-------------
- Fixed bugs involving double-clicking of the CheckIn and Delete buttons.
- Made Sorting Buttons persistent.
- Made Decimal Format button setting persistent.
- Clicking of the "Decimal Format" has significantly better performance now.
- Improved stability when changing the screen orientation from portrait to landscape, or vice-versa. Window Manager was not always returning the current screen orientation (it occasionally returns NULL).
I'm trying to apply gradients to some linearLayout backgrounds. There are 3 texviews in the linearLayout. For some reason if I assign different weights to the 3 textviews, the gradient background dissappears from roughly half of the largest textview (usually occurs as soon as I scroll the view, but it will happen automatically after a second or two).
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I figured out the problem. I was using a single instance of the GradientDrawable class for all 3 views... and you have to create a unique gradient for each view, otherwise the exact same shape/size gradient will get applied to those views' backgrounds (this would only work if each view to have the gradient applied was the exact same size).
First Major visual update for TimeSheet (Lite) released!!!
Version 1.1.0
-------------
- Drastically updated the main project screen (Click anywhere on a Project row to check in, and Click&Hold on a Project Row to access that project's menu for name editing and project deletion... more options will be coming in a future release).
- I now use relative layouts to make sure that buttons and project rows utilize the whole screen. Please email me if you are having issues with screen layout on your device.
- More updates soon (such as editing timestamps).
Do you guys like the new interface? Any suggestions?
New Version Released:
Ver. 1.1.2
----------
- BUG FIX (Midnight related. I calculated the time in milliseconds of the beginning and end of the previous day instead of the intended day).
- Implemented the Android action bar (Clickable icons in top-right corner of the app). All menu items will appear in the top-right corner of the screen (such as bringing up the weekly reports screen, or generating an email report).
- Greatly improved the performance of the weekly reports. Reports and email attachments generate MUCH faster now.
- Rearranged Add Project button in portrait mode.
- Active project text is now BOLD.
Another decent sized release:
Ver. 1.1.3
----------
- BUG FIX (Calculation of midnight was still incorrect... UTC instead of the phone's timezone offset)
- Implemented Time Stamp viewer. To view timestamps, click & hold on the project you'd like to view. There is now a new option to "View TimeStamps". In this new screen, Click & hold on any timestamp to bring up a new menu with the option to delete the stamp.
- Next release should contain the ability to EDIT timestamps from the click & hold menu.
Ver. 1.2.0
----------
- Implemented Time Stamp editor. Now you can Click&Hold on a timestamp to delete it, or edit the check-in or check-out times. Ability to add a brand new timestamp from scratch will be coming in a future release.
- BUG FIXES (More Beginning/End of Day fixes related to Time Zones. The main screen is now properly updated automatically when a change of date occurs)

It's kind of funky looking with the contrasting black rows and gray background. The background of the sort row should also be changed to match the rest of the app theme. I like the green gradient; it doesn't look too iOSy, though you may want to do something more Holo-ish like a green outline or glow. I'd recommend checking out other Holo themed apps and see their themes. I think the ADD PROJECT button should be moved to the ActionBar or, if you want to implement something a little different, a TextField row as described in this ADiA video.
This site looks pretty cool. It has a bunch of custom user-submitted views: http://www.androidviews.net

I do plan to change the color of the bottom row (with the sort buttons), but I'm not sure in what way yet. My primary concern is keeping a nice consistency with the landscape mode. There is considerably more whitespace in the left panel of landscape mode. I'll repost the screen after I make some more changes.
Nice app thank you, it would be nice if we could completely customize the colors...

Hey everyone. I'm the developer behind Fishpowered browser. I've been working on this in my spare time for the past couple of years and am starting to feel more comfortable in sharing my progress!
Here are some reviews from the Play store to whet your appetite...
This is THE BROWSER! There is simply nothing like it out there! I'm a geek obsessed browser lover and I cannot believe it! It has it all! Speed, customisation, takes very little space! And the cats on top of all as if it wasn't enough with just being the best there is!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Epic!! Developers might have gone and made the best browser app for Android. Customisation options are great.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Im absolutely blown away how good this browser is, and its super user friendly. And I really love the gestures. Keep up the awesome work.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've totally just over hyped it but I needed your attention. This is actually my first android app (I'm a web dev by trade) and my technical abilities don't match my ambition yet, but it's getting a little closer with every release!
Why should you care about Fishpowered browser?
There are browser conventions that are widespread and probably shouldn't be e.g. UI layouts that require hand gymnastics, "bookmarks", browsing history etc. I've tried to re-design everything with a fresh pair of eyes.
What are my motivations?
Having a successful project
Building something that protects my privacy and lets me uninstall many other apps on my phone
Making a browser that gets rid of all the spammy cr*p you see on sites these days
Helping people out with internet addiction and responsible internet/phone usage. This is not something that's actually in the browser yet (I've been trying to build a solid base first) but is coming in the future and I have some interesting ideas for it.
Making a browser that works well with one hand
Making a browser that's good for language learning (I'm trying to learn Finnish)
How do I make money?
I don't. There is zero ads/spyware/crapware and there never will be. If it ever gets really popular (maybe 100k+ active users? I dunno haha) I would monetise it by selling themes and accepting donations. Nothing that compromises anyone's privacy. But I only have a few hundred users so I guess that's not likely to ever happen.
Is it open source?
Nope, not while it's still being developed. You can follow the development and see the code on Twitch though (channel: fishpowered)
How can I trust this?
Good question which is unfortunately difficult to answer. As mentioned above I try to do a lot of coding on twitch. I also made a video where I download Fishpowered and the major anti-virus apps from the play store and ran through all the tests so you don't have to: www.twitch.tv/videos/877039346 If you watch the video you'll see why this would be incredibly hard for me to fake because of the infinite picture in picture.
Do not trust any download links outside of this post and Google play store as I have nothing to do with all those other APK sites.
What's bad with it/still left to do?
It's built on the Android webview component which is essentially a wrapper for Chrome. This has the advantage that you get security updates instantly (whenever Chrome is updated) but also has some limitations as it wasn't really designed for being a full-on web browser. For example, I try to add a lot of context sensitive help e.g. if you select some metric/imperial unit in a recipe, it will convert the unit for you, but things like this won't work inside webpages that use iframes (e.g. Google AMP) because webviews can't view selections inside an iframe. Performance isn't amazing either, if you have an old device, you may struggle a bit.
Lastly there are some other things that could obviously be added/improved but simply don't make sense for me to spend time on yet if they will take ages or are very niche features, it's just me working on it in my spare time.

Kudos...and welcome to XDA
Made some Fishpowered themed mobile wallpapers as well if anyone's interested...
Download from deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/fishpowered/gallery/74845548/mobile-phone-wallpapers
Wow, a powerful browser with 3.7Mb app size... Gotta try that
Recommendations
Ability to import bookmarks
Ability to not play videos instantly when page opened(site settings)
When typing an address of a site that visited before, whole address of that site can appear in the address bar
When typing something in address bar, search results should be positioned below the middle of the screen, close to the address bar(to help one hand usage)
When using swipe up to close a tab, it should also check the swipe speed/distance of finger, instead of checking only swiped-to position in order to make fast but short distance swipes work
Thanks for the feedback. Most of this was already on my todo list. The bottom alignment of the search results is tricky though without completely changing how the speed dial works as those screens show all sorts of things and the point is u can filter those as well, not just the suggestions. I will try to improve it as I obviously want it to work on phones with tall screens too
Bruh, this is my new Naked Browser. Love it! My only future request is to be able to arrange the favorites..drag and drop maybe?
Browser keeps logging me out sites after some time. If I go into incognito mode, I'm logged out when I return to default tabs.

Should be fixed in 1.4.0! Never thought this was possible due to not being able to change the default cookie manager but I found a workaround.

Great browser, been using it as my main browser for 2 days and it works well, sans packed with nice features.
Only issue I've encountered so far is that LastPass isn't working properly. Instead of detecting which website I'm browsing, LastPass only detects the browser itself (eg. Fish powered) so it doesn't propose any password for the site I'm on.

I've submitted a bug report to Google. Unfortunately the autofill API doesn't work and the console log gives me no useful indication as to why and documentation is scarce. You might be able to workaround this by pinning your current tab to the mini window and then trying from there as it least in the preview window the autofill works with Google's default autofill

I was having the same issue with Vivaldi browser for Android. I looked on their forums and they have a thread regarding this. The devs on there have talked about this same issue and apparantly it's not something easy to fix... Here's the thread, if it has any value to you :
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/40036/lastpass/20
Specifically in the last page:
In order to support Android Autofill API, we need to get on Android's compatibility list. How to get on this list is something the team has been trying to figure out, but we've exhausted quite a few options without much success.

Thank you bruh. I understand that you are still learning. I would like the ability to drag and drop tabs. Also, could you make the option to make tabs smaller so we can fit more than 3? I will now go to donate.

what an awesome browser!
My thoughts:
1) needs setting to enable desktop mode by default. the desktop toggle always resets to OFF when you enter a new url. some websites detect the device and forces redirect to mobile site pages and doesn't allow desktop view.
2) backup and restore all active tabs and settings. for long term use and saving all actives tabs to say, an html file or plain text.
3) html content hide feature is awesome, very nice. dark mode is great.
4) more quick actions and customisations please
will keep on using daily to test and report on bugs.
