[App][4.0+] Refresh for XKCD - Material Design XKCD Browser - Android Apps and Games

Hey everyone,
I just released Refresh for XKCD, a Material Design XKCD browser.
Refresh for XKCD currently has the following features:
Material Design
Dedicated pages: Simply touch a comic in the main page to view a full page dedicated to the comic, filled with important information and actions
Shuffle: View random XKCD comics at the touch of a button
Explanations: Don't understand a comic? Each comic has an explanation, provided by explainxkcd.com, available on its own page.
Panning & Zooming: When inside of a comic's page, simply tap the comic image, and you can zoom in and pan the comic to view smaller text and content.
Favorites: See a comic you like? Add it to your favorites at the touch of a button, and the comic will be available at any time from the favorites page. (Swipe in from the left side of the screen on the main page to access the favorites page)
Sharing: Text your favorite comics to your friends, or post them to your favorite social networks.
Easy navigation: Refresh for XKCD offers easy navigation between comics
Here are some screenshots of the application, for those interested: http://imgur.com/a/HIQ1F
Refresh supports Android devices running versions 4.0+.
If you're interested in downloading the app, you can get it from Google Play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jordandebarth.refresh
Thank you in advance to anyone who tries it out!

Bump. If anyone tries it out, let me know what you think!

Version 1.5.2 was pushed yesterday which fixes up a few bugs, and adds some much needed UI tweaks.

Bump, let me know if you try out the app!

Version 1.6 was pushed yesterday, and prompts users to download all comics on initial startup. This decreases load times, network usage, and enables search functions throughout the application.

Version 1.6.1 is now available, and allows Refresh to intercept links to xkcd.com, so that you can open XKCD comics by default in Refresh.

Thanks, was looking for a Material Design XKCD reader since ages
Works right as intended.
Regards.

http://challengerviewer.wordpress.com
I added a video.
Is there any feedback ?
Tried it... doesn't recognise CBZ or CBR the two most common net comic formats
I'll unzip/unrar them and try again.
It definitely needs CBZ and CBR support.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
You are right. I will add support of cbz and cbr.
What about performance ?
Is it smooth (depending of your phone or tablet) ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards.
Seems super-smooth. Will be happy to use it if you can add the CBR/Z support and keep it running as nice!
Although I am running on a Samsung Galaxy SII running CheckROM RevoHD v4 and the excellent DarkKnight v2.4.3 kernel... so most things run pretty smooth!
I added both file support : .cbz and .cbr.
Cbz (zip) is not cpu consuming so app is still smooth.
About Cbr (rar), it's no as smooth as before but still usable.
Don't hesitate to give a feedback.
Thanks !
I added PDF file support.
So now the list of supported format is :
JPG
PNG

Thanks, gonna try out my new Walking Dead Comics!
Thanks for the link! This works great on the Kindle Fire. The scrolling is kind of annoying at times, but it hasn't failed to open any file I've thrown at it yet. Is there an option to tap to turn pages instead of scrolling? If there is, I can't find it. If there isn't, there should be. Other than that this is a great comics viewer. Great job!

Thanks onestoploser for your feedback.
For now, there is no option to go next page (only by scrolling).
I will add an option for this.
About scrolling, you said :

Sometimes it seems to scroll too far, like into the next page after the one I'm going to. Setting the velocity speed to none helps, but still happens on occasion. That's why I was wondering about a tap to turn the page option. Like I said though, this is a great app!

Meta Widget - create widgets from any website content

META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot
Screens
Guys has anyone had issues with the keyboard not popping up in the internal browser?
Any issues with this first build of the meta widget?
Its a cool idea, not exactly what i thought it was. You can have it make a widget of buttons on a web page. I run my little sisters Etsy store, and there is no good etsy app. I used the app to go to the shop page and basically what it does is make a widget with the top buttons that i can click and will open up my browser. I was hoping it would show if i had messages, activity, etc...
I really like the idea, yet i dont know what I will use it for.

You selected the wrong element. It shows you ANY element (static or dynamic) in a webpage. If you log into the store, go to the private messaging area and click the "unread messages" number, it will show you how many you have.
For example - i use it to extract the impressions graphs from my advertising analytics service.
Can you have it poll multiple things, such as activities and conversations? Or would that have to be 2 widgets?

You can poll multiple things separately. We are working on a way to do this better in our upcoming widgets! project. Here though you can only select one element at a time.
Atm the best way to line things up is to use a launcher that can overlap widgets.
Btw the widgets! project should be in beta quite soon as well
Awesome. Keep up the good work.

Good job !!
Hey,
I had this (huge, at least for me review written, then at the end hit backspace and freakin firefox took me a page back. WTF Firefox, I could kill you for that.
Anyway, so here is the short version:
Love your amazing design, with one exception of the settings menu (where you can choose the titel and all that)
I could not quite work out the difference between the up-down arrows and the left-right arrows
I did not understand the option to display as a list. I just didn't understand what it does
The text size didn't always work properly, sometimes when I would choose a bigger text size, it would actually be smaller
Everytime I had the widget done, I always had to manually resize it, but I guess that was because of sense
The widget itself was always just one big text and not nicely organized the news thread on the webpage, so the widget itself was kind of useless to me
One more tip; if you had chosen more than one element (e.g. an entire news thread), that it then should just open the single element, not the entire website with all the elements
Again great work guys!
The two websites I tried it with:
apktops
manga-access
Not sure what your problem with the menu is... its just like any other android menu.
Regarding the arrows - they will work better or borse, it all depends on the content.
"Use all as list" - this will use all the items listed below in list form, instead of just the element you clicked on.
Havent seen any problems with text size from anyone else, so most likely user error there, or some sort of parsing issue on the sites themselves.
We will make a bunch of sizes in the next release.
Lol.
Not going to happen.

Hi!

Been using Meta Widget to display headlines from sites for a while. Not much to complain because it does what I want it to do. Only thing I would like toe see is the option to make the widget title bold or underlined.
Great app!
It shall be done. There will also be a minor release in preparation for the widget constructor we will release next week.

Guys is anyone having trouble with text and background colors?
So far so good.. Been having a problem of not updating the widget properly with a previous version.. But it's resolved now..
I use it for a local weather website, however, when I'm setting it up, I can choose the image (with difficulty) when I'm on desktop or android mode within the app . But nothing shows up.. As if it's transparent.
But if I choose iphone mode. It works..
Dunno if u got my point.. I'll attach pictures

Thx for trying to fix it.

Looks like there are some dodgy tags around the images. Try using the buttons to avoid capturing the wrong element.
Im sorry but html is very difficult to represent visually - the selector is as good as it will ever get.
1.0.2.10
Reworked parser logic for compatibility
Reworked padding system in some circumstances
Fixed compatibility issues with Nova and others
Fixed title text size caching issue
Fixed a number of device specific problems from user logs
works well thank you...
thanks a lot..
The best thanks is a nice review on the Play Store - good ratings help me spend more time on improving the app
Hi,
I have recently installed Meta Widget. I thought i could use it to grab the market headline from www.ft.com, i have managed to grab one article, but i want to be able to scroll all the market headlines.
Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance,
Mike
Yes, it should be possible. Remember, you need an element that has a lot of similar elements if you want to make a list. So for example, in ft markets it should be the title of the ones 1/3 down the page that say EQUITIES CURRENCIES etc.

Everything OK with the recent JB updates?

If there are any apps that you feel shouldn't be in this list, please let me know and suggest a better one. I can then test it and maybe add it to the list, in place of the other one.
If you don't suggest a better app, I won't change anything.
Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.
Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.
+1 AirDroid. Airdroid is an absolutely fantastic app. No cables required.

That Solid Explorer looks quite interesting thanks.
Oh, thank you for Solid Explorer. I was used to Astro but the new update has made it work strangely. Solid Explorer is sooo much better!
For Bar Shortcut, are you on JB? It doesn't seem to be compatible on my Note.
Tasker is the app to have! Thanks for this!:good:

I don't actually have the Note. I just figured it would help you guys out a bit, so I can't actually know if some of these apps will work or not.
Can anyone else confirm that Bar Shortcut doesn't work? I can then remove it from the list
I'll also update the list soon, once I've had something to eat
Playstore said that my device isn't compatible with this version for wave control...

Must have ????
Infinity Painter ! This is a must ! :good:
I would say lecture notes is a must have app if you take a lot of handwritten notes. there is a trial version as well.

I adore Google Currents,. Only issue I have with it is that it syncs with a delay. I end up reading many articles in Google Reader instead

Elixir wants way too many permissions for me.
IMHO a absolute must have is share 2 copy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taroid.share2copy
