Hello!
I'm searching for beta testers who plays Magic: The Gathering. I'm developing program that searches magiccards.info database for cards and shows information/ruling about cards and saves information locally for later use.
For now I have completed functionality to search and display card (without information), and implemented image caching to SdCard database (to reduce traffic).
Application is available here: http://swapper.n3o.lv/MTG_cards_finder_0.0.1.apk
Screenshots attached.

Hi Guys
Don’t miss your favourite TV programs, let MyEpisodes viewer show you when it’s on.
MyEpisodes Viewer is an easy to use viewer that extends www.myepisodes.com website to your mobile phone.
All the viewer requires is your MyEpisodes username and password to fetch the listings you have already configured on the MyEpisodes site,
The viewer also allows you to update listed episodes to watched status with one click.
Caveats
1.) Due to MyEpisodes not having a standard API, the Viewer uses a API Helper site (api.madmouse.co.uk) to handle the data.
2.) MyEpisodes has the right to change permissions and there site without notice, which could cause the application to stop working.
3.) To allow api.madmouse.co.uk to enable advanced caching some information that identifies the device will be transmitted to the site
a. These details are hashed and erased 20 minutes after last call to the site.
b. No data is record to disk.
c. No data will be passed onto 3rd Party vendors.
Have Fun
I will put this into the Market place, when teh development team sort out a few issues that prevent me from uploading the application.
Such as?? If I may inquire.
Hi flcl
I have to admit when I am wrong, please ignore or learn from the unjustified comment, as it turned out to be a flaw in the build process.
If developers have the following problem in the future , here's how to solve it.
After building/signing an application, when you publish it get this message
"The new apk's versionCode (x) in AndroidManifest.xml must be higher
than the old apk's versionCode (x)."
If you have set the android:versionCode to a higher number than x, it means your application manifest file has not been updated correctly.
These are the steps I took to correct the problem.
Make sure you have increased the android:versionCode.
close all applications that don't need to be built in the Eclipse editor.
Delete the APK if it already exists (Optional)
Run Project -> clean , select your application hit ok
Rebuild - Export unsigned Package/sign then publish
I have now published the applicaton in the marketplace.
I have developed a document scanning app and published it to Play Store. It started with the basic document scanning features and then I added more down the road along with enhancements and fixations.
Now I feel I have reached a stable phase with my app. I would rarely come across bugs and the next phase would include features that will take a lot of coding. I have been_ and still am_ surveying my existing users but would also like to hear from you too about it.
Here are my next features to develop. Would like you guys help me prioritize them:
a. Fax a scanned document
b. Print a scanned document
c. Sign a scanned document
d. Add a routine for local backup/restore
e. Import multiple images from gallery
f. Chrome App (to edit scanned documents from Google Drive)
g. Voice commands to perform actions
Also, if you think I may include other features.
Current app features include:
1. Scanning optimized camera
2. Image enhancement functions
3. Mutli-level filing system
4. OCR, search and sharing functions
5. List, grid and starred view
6. 8 cropping guides
7. Sync to Google Drive and Dropbox
8. Convert scans to PDF and export PDFs to the SD card of mobile device.
If you would like to test the app in action or watch a vid, find it on Play Store: Smart Document Scanner
If you want an automated version of the survey, you can find it on app website.
Please indicate you're fellow XDAians in the final 'other' field.
Cheers,
Hi guys,
Being an avid news/Rss reader, I was annoyed by the limitations setup by popular apps(Feedly, Flipboard, etc). So, I started developing this app for myself initially and it came out really good. So, thinking of sharing it with you guys
Pure Rss Reader is a simple RSS Reader with following features:
- Offline reading : Save feeds to the device to be able to access them when you are not connected to the network.
- Periodic sync intervals : Specify how frequently the app should refresh all the feeds.
- Download full articles from website along with the feeds. Currently, only the HTML content is displayed.
- layouts optimized for phone(Card, List) and Tablet(FlipView, ViewPager)
- Variable Image quality(offline) : You can specify the image quality that sshould be saved to the SdCard. This helps reduce the space taken by the app
- Sharing articles to your favorite app
- Multiple fonts
- Clean up : You can specify how frequently a cleanup should be performed to clear the offline articles. Use this feature to optimize the content on your SdCard
- Save feed images to SD card
Future releases
- Opml import/export
- Optimized layouts
- dark theme
- Feedly sync(tentative)
Screenshots are available on the play store.
Go to play store to download
The app is currently in beta stage and it contains ads. If you want to test the app, please join the beta program at this url https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.udn4hc.purerss
You can search for the app in play store with the term - udn4hc . This app has in-app purchasing to remove ads, which can be overcome by becoming a License tester(I need to add your email addresses manually. So, please PM me your gmail ID).
After you become a License tester, open the left drawer and click "Purchase Premium". On the payment page, you should see a message stating that you won't be charged for the transaction. It generally takes a couple hours for google to process the tester status.
Known Issues
- A couple of default feeds provided need to be updated
I look forward to the feedback guys
Reserved!
Thanks for sharing. Does it sync with Feedly? To me that is a must have, I use gReader on my phone and Feedly on the desktop, cross-platform sync is essential.

Feedly sync is a work in progress. Am having trouble getting a production key for my app from them at the moment. I plan to release the app once I have it.
Hello experts,
I am new to this and have just created a new project in Android Studio. I want to develop an android app that will use google maps as a base. I then want to be able to add points with specific addresses on the map providing info to the users about the location of specific points of interest that are not shown in google maps. I would also like to organize all these points in various categories, and allow the user to do filter searches and limit the visible points. I imagine this to be very similar with how excell filters function. Finally I would like to be able to click on each of these points on the map, and a new page would open with some basic info about each point (small thumbnail, date of construction, transportation access (in text form), etc.).
My first question is : Is it possible to create such an app using only Android Studio? I have seen some tutorial videos and I am confident that doing the first part (the google map with some specific points on it, is pretty easy to create, but I am not sure about the extra features that I describe. Can anyone give me some guidance about the best way to create these features? And is it a good starting point that I created a project with "Google Maps Activity" or will this predefine the appearance and layout of the app?
9-4-21: Updated to version 1.4...chasing down more SSL issues. Uninstall old version before installing new one.
If you've taken a look at my BBC News app and then decided it just wasn't worth the hassle negotiating the BBC News website (what's with the keyboard opening and closing as the pages load?!), this new approach might be for you. BBC News Reader is an app for offline reading. No visits to the BBC News website at all!
How it works
On the front end, this app is the same as the BBC News app. You select some RSS feed topics and simple, clean HTML pages are generated for your browser with the various news items. That's where the similarities end. The new app then downloads the pages corresponding to the news stories, extracts just the article text, assembles clean, new pages and saves them to your SD card. Voila! You can read the news offline--anywhere.
Limitations
Well, it takes awhile... I have four news topics and it takes about 5 minutes to fetch and process everything. So maybe you run this while you're fixing your breakfast (or taking a shower). To make the time as short as possible, I have also limited the stories to the current date. If you've looked at the RSS feeds you know that things tend to accumulate and languish, especially in the less active feeds. After awhile items become history rather than news. So, just the current date. Also, you get no pictures (or videos you cannot play anyway). News items that refer to a page with just a video will have a very short text description so you'll know there's something missing. Items which are photo collections will have a list of captions. But everything looks good without any extraneous stuff. Unlike my local newspaper where each page seems to be assembled by a different monkey on a different medication, the BBC News pages are uniform and predictable. So far. Note that you cannot use this app with Opera Mini. It lacks the ability to open local HTML files.
Requirements
1. Android 2.1 has a security issue with opening local HTML files. In order for BBC News Reader to work properly you need to address that. Included in the zip below is a tiny app, android-open-in-browser-0.0.4-4-debug. Install that. It's not my app but I have used it for years and wish I could credit the originator.
2. This app utilizes cURL, a Linux utility, to bypass SSL checks and enable our aging device to download from the BBC News site. You must install cURL on your NST. Download the zip file (below), unzip and follow the directions to install cURL. Reboot.
3. This is a Tasker-generated app. If you already have one of my other Tasker-generated apps or have previously installed GApps, you don't need the two Google maps library files included in the zip and can delete them. If you do need them, copy the two files into the locations shown below:
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install.
4. Create a folder in the root directory of your sdcard: BBCNews (exactly as shown, no spaces)
5. Install the app itself, BBC_News_Reader_1_3.apk
How to use
Before you run the app you need to select some news categories. You can get the feed URLs from the BBC News RSS page. Only part of the URL is used in the file bbc_rss_feeds.txt. Here is the file as I have supplied it in the attached zip:
Code:
<cat>World</cat>
<url>/news/world/rss.xml</url>
<cat>US & Canada</cat>
<url>/news/world/us_and_canada/rss.xml</url>
I've just used two example feeds. You can see that the first line in each pair is a news category name (don't use names with "." in them). The second line in each pair is the last part of the RSS feed URL from the BBC News site. Be sure to edit out the first part of the URL or the app will not work. You can, of course, choose other/additional categories. Just follow my example. When the file is complete, copy it to the "BBCNews" folder on your SD card.
Note: if you have a copy of this file already because you have been using the original BBC News app, just copy the old file.
Now you're good to go. Start the app, make sure you're connected to WiFi. There are only three buttons on the app screen (screenshot below). The first one, "Fetch the news" does just that. The interface will disappear and eventually you will see a toast near the bottom of the screen telling you that the news is being prepared in the background. Once that is done, a second interface appears (screenshot below) with the options to either read the news or dismiss the interface. If you choose "read", your browser will open with the first news category. At the title bar left is a drop-down menu button that gives you access to your other news topics. Since no fixed navbar schemes work under Android 2.1, there is a duplicate drop-up menu bar at the end of the page. If you choose "dismiss" it's all done until you start the app again at which time you would select "read the news". No WiFi connection needed since the files are on your SD card.
