Update: 7/13 - added free version (ad supported) to market.
I've always wanted a very simple app to let me have lists on my phone - shopping lists, to-do lists, etc, but it seems like the ones on the market have too many features that get in the way of easily creating lists, adding items, marking items as complete, and that's about it. So, I went ahead and wrote my own.
As of now, I'm happy with the app, and I've been using it for a couple of months now with no problems. But, being my first Android app (I am a professional programmer, but work in the web & desktop worlds), I'm sure there are opportunities to add features/functionality that would enhance the pure list-making experience. I had though about drag-and-drop reordering of the lists, but that seems to be more difficult to implement than I anticipated. Aside from that, I'm all ears about how to make the app better, prettier, more efficient, and more useful.
See attached for screenshots:
1) Main Screen - add/delete/backup/restore lists here
2) Back up is a simple SQLite DB file copy to the SDCard
3) Here are items in one list. Notice that some are gray - these have been "cleared" or "marked" as being complete by the user, via a simple click/toggle. An item's "cleared" status persists in the database
4) Once you're done clearing items, you can remove them from the list and database. Or, alternatively, you can unmark all of them.
See attached for APK file...
As I said, any suggestions or criticisms would be welcomed - but keep in mind that this app has a narrow focus, and I want it be very good with regard to that focus.
EDIT: Forgot also that now the app has a minimum SDK version of 8, so this app will run on Froyo (2.2) and above
I've done quite a bit more work, and now this app is available in the Google Play store. Since I don't have 10 posts yet, it won't let me include a hyperlink but here's the URL:
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kozzer.lists&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rb3p6ZXIubGlzdHMiXQ..
You can also find it easily by searching on my Google Play developer name: WebKozzer.
The additions include:
* drag and drop reordering
* 2 themes (light and dark)
* Optional numbering of list items
* Edit list name, or item text
* Delete contents of list without deleting list itself
* Configurable backup path
and more!
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
Added free, ad supported version to the market. Any feedback or feature requests would be welcomed. I was contemplating attempting to integrate voice commands. Like, once the app is open, you can use voice commands to do everything the app lets you do via touchscreen. It appears that this would require a fairly significant coding effort, and I'm not sure how useful that'd be either.
Both the pay and free versions have been updated. Some UI changes, undo functionality, and ability to add items using voice.
Play links:
Pay version
Free (ad) version
Update: 12/12 - Removed ads from Lists! Free.
Also/including:
More general cleanup
Removed network state / access permissions (since they were used for ads only)
APK size reduced by about 100kB (removed AdMob library)
Improved error handling
nice job keep working on it

its a nice editor..
i like its lightweight & minimalistic design!
just a few suggestions..
- option to display line numbers
- option to word-wrap or not
- font sizes smaller than 16 (good for display on small mobile screens)
- undo/redo

i consider the first 2 "should-have" features of all text editors..
for the others 3, "nice-to-have" features..

I love the sleek design of your app! It runs without a hitch.
As for feedback -- I would have one small request:
I would be wonderful so see support for smaller text sizes, e.g. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
Thanks so much!
One restriction is that you cannot open a file directly from a file browser like the CyanogenMod File Manager.
I tried a little bit more. First you have to remove
Code:
android:scheme="file"
from the AndroidManifest.xml. Then you can select Coastline in the "open with" list in the file browser. However, the file is still not opened. Opening manually works.
So my request would be to handle the file path that is handed over for the android.intent.action.VIEW intent:
Code:
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Setting last chosen activity com.rumsunrise.coastline/.ActivityEditor for user 0:
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Action: "android.intent.action.VIEW"
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Category: "android.intent.category.DEFAULT"
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Type: "text/plain"
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: AutoVerify=false
11-24 14:32:33.122 2473 22654 I ActivityManager: START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://com.cyanogenmod.filemanager.providers.file/external_files/notes.txt typ=text/plain flg=0x3000001 cmp=com.rumsunrise.coastline/.ActivityEditor} from uid 10041 on display 0

Thanks again for the otherwise very nice app! :good:

If you use kissmanga and get an error "(503) Service Temporarily Unavailable", it’s because kissmanga denied the access to their website. There is a javascript+cookies protection. To get the cookies allowing you to access the site, open settings in the app ans select "Advanced". At the bottom there is Credential > Kissmanga. If you press Kissmanga, a popup appears while loading the cookies. Once the popup is closed you should be able to access kissmanga. The cookies should be valid for a few hours or until you close the app, so you’ll have to get the credential again.

Downloading now, I hope your app doesn't limit the download speed. I have used some apps before, but they were limiting my download speed which took forever to me to download a whole 100+ chaps.

The download speed is not limited by the app, only by your connection or the server speed. If it's too slow, you can enable "Concurrent downloads" to download more than 1 chapter at once from different sources.

Oops sorry, i didn't check the settings, thanx for help
(xpost forum+rating) looks like it had the most feature available, although it is a double edged sword. new users would be lost without a short guide describing the options and sources, and how to effectively switch between online and offline mode.
Enjoying the app so far. One thing I have noticed is missing is a genre sort/search (shonen, seinen, shojo, etc as well as mech, slice of life, adult...). The option was available in an older Manga reading app I used to love and I used it to find quite a few great new titles to read I would have never found otherwise. Is this something you could implement in a future update? Thanks!
