Database Develop

[APP] BloomDroid (Bloomberg application for Android)

Sorry guys, Bloomberg asked me to discontinue the development of this app. So I'm removing the download link and will not continue to work on this
Hi everyone,
I have begun to work on a financial application for Android. It is called BloomDroid. As the name suggests, this application retreives data from Bloomberg data system (ie the website:mobile.bloomberg.com).
The version I post here is a very early beta and I'm planning to add many more features (of course limited with what bloomberg offers on its website)

}
The app is not available in the Android Market for now. I want it to mature a little before then.
You can download the app from: (app removed by request from bberg)
It requires full internet access permission for internet access and sd card write access to store charts.
It downloads 7-8 kb per query, so be careful if you do not have an unlimited plan.
Features:
- Retreive company name, description, price and change(%) for given quote. You must provide company ticker in XXXX:YY form, XXXX is the ticker for company, YY is the country code. such as GOOG:US, 4338:HK, GGQ1:GR, AAPL:US, 2788:JP
- Lookup for company ticker
Planned:
- A list of equities (like in stock Stocks program)
- News from Bloomberg
- Markets and currencies.
- Maybe a widget.

Changelog:
19/12/2009 - v.0.0.2
- Now you have a stock list!!
- Charts are saved on sdcard/bloomdroid
- many many bug fixes
21/10/2009 - v.0.0.1
- Bug fixes.
19/10/2009 - v.0.0.0
- Initial release.
- Can retreive any quote on Bloomberg web site.

that is a cool idea. i want a better widget for stock portfolio

cracking little app, love it!

I've released an update for this app.
Would like to hear the comments of investor members

will it work with milestone?

It's cool !
Is it possible to draw a simple and advanced technical chart i.e. simple moving average, rsi, stochastic, cci, bollinger band, macd,
It would be perfect if the above wish list become real.

please don't forget to make WVGA version, thanks.

Is this app dead or is the developer still updating it? Hope so bc I love BB's commodities, futures and currency quotes.

Hey guys, app is not dead.. Just I didn't get enough encouragement to continue working on it. But now that I see at least 3 new users , I'll resume working on it as soon as I have some free time.

Please make an update for 800*480 for my htc desire!
Bloomberg official app is the only thing i envy from iphone users..!

Sorry guys, I've stopped working on this after being approached from BloomBerg to halt development. We have to wait for their official app I guess.

did they mention when theyd think theyd release it?

There is talk of Android at the Bloomberg URL, can't be long now...

bloomberg official app is out now!

Hi,
What SDK you used to develop that app ? were you using the one from Google or use 3rd party tool ?

[APP] Tip calculator... yea i know its been done 4 million times before

**UPDATE*
See the bottom of this post for XAP
**
g'day all.
I'm currently writing a quick tip calculator for WP7, i know there are billions of them but there arent many free apps on wp7 yet with everyone trying to make some money and i wanted to release something quick, easy and free just to check out how much hassle the approval process is and see how long it takes MS to get something out once submitted
I wanted to keep it in styling with WP7 as much as possible, let me know what you think

**UPDATE**
Evening guys, finally getting off my lazy ass and submitting this ( year 5 months later and yes I'm aware no one cares about tip calculators ) but I just wanted to give it out here first see if anyone wants to give it a go and make any suggestions and whats broken or what would be better. I designed it because tip apps are everywhere but they always look like ass. Whilst they are always going to be rubbish , you might aswell have one which fits the WP7 metro theme... and the name tip metro, I'd like it changes, so suggestions please !

This is a great design. A very unique take on the function. Great work!
BTW, how did you get the image?

Thanks for the kind words.
The image was just found on google when searching for windows 7 phone. its just the stock one also use in the emulator. Then added my app front end image and then skewed at an angle.

Looks really nice and refreshing from some of the apps that don't look like they belong in the metro UI. Good Job!

With 90+ tip calc apps on the marketplace... I cannot find your app!! Please help!! The interface looks awesome!!
What is the icon I am looking for on marketplace? Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response.
I intend to have this fully released on the marketplace ( for free ) soon.
If it takes too long to go through approval ill host the .xap and distribute it here for you and anyone else who wants it

Bump magic Bump.... new info in main post

Hiii
Looking a nice design

Design makes a difference!
I really like the use of the panorama here. This app is a perfect example of how the use of a simple control change the perceived quality and the functionality of an app.
Liking it so far!

Also really like it. Clean, simple, and easy to use. Great work!

Thanks for the nice comments guys, apologies for the delayed response.
when it's fully finished ( still a few small issues ) ill put the XAP here but an Ad supported one will hit the market place. I have just been really lazy at getting it finished

Iphone App Review And Ipad App Review
Tip Calculator for iPhone was designed exclusively for the finger tap user interface of the iPhone. It’s fun to use and quick to download. thanx for sharing the great information,,,, great work done,,,,,,,

this is not my app, but i never saw it here and a search didnt pop it up, so maybe some of you dont know it. i dont see why ms would bann it, but yeah, if you interrested in the story check his website:
http://smartypantscoding.com/R_I_P_-Imagewind-for-Windows-Phone
but i love the app!
design is perfect
function is always good to kill some minutes
basicly it will show you all pictures that are posted on twitter at the moment.
it does that with sleek animations and you can always digg deeper into the content.
where the picture can be viewed like you would want it on a touchscreen.
one more time i have to say, awesome design!
not like those "i just started programming 99cent apps"
this is really worth checking out, only available via xap sideload...
download here:
http://imagewind.net/wp7/
also dont miss the silverlight webapp over here:
http://imagewind.net/
awesome stuff!!!​

this is cool! thanks. i dont like twitter but i like this haha

oh good i've found it, thanks! works perffect!

app slowed to a crawl
Have been using this app for around a month now and i must say its great fun, almost hypnotic. However yesterday the picture generation started to run slowly, then crawl, now it takes around 5 mins per line to populate.
So has anyone else experienced this behaviour from the app? does anybody know if the development is still going with the app or if there is a newer version than the one posted here?
FYI i have uninstalled the app and reinstalled to no avail and i have tried to contact the developer via the web page comments section but the Capture window does not work and so i cannot leave a comment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Creamy

I can't download the xap file.

There you go:

OK so I have no idea if SmartyPantsCoding is still supporting this, but the app has slowed down because it can't see most of the image URLs on twitter anymore.
Twitter has started shortening ALL URLs on it's service automatically using the t.co service. This means the app cant search the timeline for items with pictures in them (at least not without some re-coding) tho for some unknown reason, tweetphoto links still work. These might be the only links twitter doesn't shorten.
This sucks for us who liked the phone app (and the website imagewind.net) but it means Twitter can now get analytics info, which I gather they have now made available......

nice App
Thanks

Its been re released and is working nicely on my Mango HD7. I doubt it will make it to the marketplace again so here is the Xap
Kind Regards,

Anyone happen to have a version 1.2 xap ? Ver 1.1 doesn't work, and 1.3 (above) doesn't support Twitter.
1.2 is supposed to do both Twitter & Flickr. I'm not sure it's past the url issues that broke 1.1, just thought I'd ask if it's out there. Thanks.
EDIT: The above xap does have an option in setting to switch to "unsafe" mode, which pulls pics from Twitter. Works flawlessly. My bad.

thanks, great find!

[GAME] Banzai Birds - [R] - 2011/07/21 - [V] 1.0.0.0

My new game Banzai Birds has hit the Windows Phone Marketplace, and the best news is that I have decided to make it free!
The first episode consists of 20 challenging levels of dodging, diving and fleeing (from evil owls) each testing your timing and reflexes using the accelerometer .
Two additional episodes updates are to follow, each with 20 levels, gameplay updates and new graphics.
I'm taking suggestions for improvements for the next episodes so if you have any cracking ideas lets have them!
thanks all!

I couldn't find it in the marketplace, so I followed your link. Is it not available in the EU (Germany)? I can't download it ("Download" never appears on my phone).

Yes it's really annoying. Microsoft's new publishing system requests a Content Rating for submitted apps for each country you want to publish to. not all countries require a rating, unfortunately Germany is one.
if you can side load go here...
http://www.mobileleaderboards.com/sire-assemblies/BanzaiBirds.rar
If you like it please review.
thanks!

Why, thank you. That is some good information to have. I'll sideload your game later, probably.
By "requests content rating", what exactly do you mean? How do you get your content rating? Will this mean that games will come delayed to those markets? Does MS offer this "service" to its developers, or do you have to get it yourself?

I need to read up on it a little more to see what I need to do / get around it.
Here in the UK we have U rating for kids and 18 rating for adult content but its not a requirement for games hence I could sell my unrated app in the UK.
I guess Germany requires a rating of some sort for games?

Yes, in Germany you need to have a USK Rating on games you sell (0, 6, 12, 16, 18), but I never knew this was needed for "digital distribution" as well.
Anyways, afaiu, the USK rating board has to review your game and, at least that's how it seems to me, this takes several months... But I am not too familiar with the whole process, so I can't tell for sure. Surely, MS must provide you with information about this... I just hope this is not the end of games for my WP7 because they'd make it hard for developers to get the rating..?
EDIT: I now checked the USK Site. Currently, games can only obtain a USK rating if they are provided on physical media (DVD, CD etc.), not digitaly distributed games (allthough, they can get the rating as well, if they are additionally provided on physical media). They are *planning* to extend this to "non-physical" games, but haven't yet done so... So, not sure what I should make of that.

http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/87527.aspx
Looks like it could be a while. Ridiculous really Germany is a good source for downloads

Thanks all for your suggestions.
I have upgraded Banzai Birds now at V1.1, changing the initial level designs, new graphics and better parachute control.
Get your update now!

Cloud Storage Services

Hey ladies and gentlement!
As I'm already recognized a high resonance via G+, I thought I'll start a OT-Thread here related to the topic
- Free Cloud Storage -
As for sure a lot of ppl has another priority and subjectiv opinion on different cloud services,
but I think we all are fair and reational enough to share our meanings without treating other meaning or ppl here.
So I'll start with my own experience and opinion:
In my opinion the realtiv new cloud storage of 'Copy' is one of the best cloud storage service,
which offers a really great android app, too.
The app also was re-designed some weeks ago and it's quiet intuitive and more looking good.
I'm personally also a Google fan and so for sure using G-Drive, too, but anyway for general daily cloud handling I use this at all.
'Copy' also let u create a synchronisation folder which gives the opportunity to share and edit things in a kind of group.
So I personally learned to use this in my job when working on a project, so that other project-partners could see when I put in new files
and themselves could view & edit them if they want. Also they could just put in their own files, so that I can see it.
Over this you can give different rights, for what anyone can to in this folder.
(I think that's enough explained for synchronisation folders)
Let's go ahead to the most sensitive point in nowadays "Security".
So to let's say first, that there is no 100% safe cloud service and surly will never be!
So we all have to trust the service and can orientate here on the security standards they offer.
'Copy' that for uses a part for the connection and one for the encryption of data to/on their servers.
The connection is here saved by the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) standard
and the data encryption by the AES256 (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Even their are other possibilities and the SSL could be the updated TLS standard, this is one of the highest "daily" protection standard.
[I don't want to get off from topic here, so let's say that there are more higher security standard, but u have to think in relative terms here!]
In the app u also have the opportunity to set a PIN, to secure the entry in app, even the phone won't have one.
At this point I hope I don't forget any important points, otherwise just ask and let me know...
Again this is for sure a objective view on things, so please let me know what u guys think and share your meanings and recommandation of cloud storage services.
CHEERS

With the link below u get 20GB [5GB to the 15GB] free storage on 'Copy', because I invited you.
So if u want to test it or saying "yes this listen like what I searched for", just register via it,
than 5GB more, are better than not or?

PS: Yes I also get 5GB free if u use this link, but anyway this shouldn't be a big advertisement, just a recommendation.
