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 ?

Help with Dropbox?

Anyone not using dropbox? Ive been using it for a while and just wanted to remind newbs of it. go to https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTYwNzM2ODk and sign up, install the software, and you haev the easiest wireless way to share files back and forth between your phone and your desktop. Great Backup Solution. Help me out by signing up from the link above, and we both get extra space in the dropbox for doing so!

True, I mean when not at home. Its very helpful, especially for sending large things like videos. I have collaboration folders setup with my wife, and brother, and I can just drop the files in there, and then they get them too. Great way to share big stuff.

Dropbox is great but make sure you keep a separate backup. DB literally ate the English Essay I had worked on for days. Here's what happened: I typed up the rough draft on my PC at home. I then went to the writing lab at school and downloaded it to my phone. I plugged my phone into the tutor's PC and we revised it together and printed it out. I submitted it to my professor and a couple days later she e-mailed me saying she wanted me to make some changes. I went back to Dropbox on my PC to open the file and got the rough draft again. Downloaded again, same thing. I went on my phone and found out that it too had the rough draft. Somehow when I uploaded the final draft it did not actually upload so I wound up having to rewrite it again (as best as I could from memory).
Moral of the story: When you make changes to a file, make sure you back it up elsewhere!

You do know that drophox supports versioning right? You can go the website and see the last several save states. So if your more fully written essay was overwritten, so long as it was saved at some point, you can still retrieve it from the website.

I was wondering why this was being bumped so much, and then I saw the referral code at the end of the link.
Shame shame OP. lol.

Same here. I'm not that shameless myself; mine is cleverly hidden in my sig.

Haha I added it to my Sig too. Just running out of room and hoping to get some more space in a hurry
As a side note, how do I make a url in my Sig clickable?

This thread should be deleted since it's not anything for help with Dropbox but rather a plug to get more space... shame shame OP..

Firstly, I advise against adding a "dropbox" link to your sig ... unless of course, you feel it necessary to have your account suspended.
The purpose of services such as dropbox, rapidshare, megaupload, 4shared, etc. is to provide a space for folks to download/upload content that can be legitimately used on a mobile device. In other words, shameless promotion to bump space or increase points is not appropriate.

[App] My Workout

Hey guys, as some of you may know, i've been working for a while now on my app, My Workout.
Here is the description of My Workout:
"My Workout allows you to save your workout routines to an easy to access, easy to read schedule. My workout also has a stopwatch included for rest time between sets and a 1 rep max calculator. Important tools for the gym!

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've been a busy coder on this one.
Recently i've added the following features:
Ability to import exercises from previously entered routines
and just now The Ability to share your workout (export) via email!
Currently the app in the market is version 1.5.0.0 and works really well, it however doesn't have the last two additions.
Build 1.7.00 will include both of these. I am currently waiting for build 1.6.00 to be approved (that includes the import exercises from previous exercise) feature and unfortunately for the testers will be immediately submitting 1.7.00 for approval.
The app is free, check it out and give a review.
Here are some videos of some of the older builds:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVoqy0xYmNg (that is build 1.3)
Thanks,
microhaxo

Update added to market!
http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=0b90f4cd-9dd5-df11-a844-00237de2db9e
- free as always.

Beautiful!
Would have liked to see an option for using metric units as well (Kg vs LBS). I'm living in Europe where we use the (logical) SI-system.
Good work!

Thanks for the comment! I'll add the option for metric units in the next update.

updated to support KG. Also allow for a total reset of saved routines.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this! I work out 4 days a week and this will be great to use

Welcome, i'm glad i could help out a fellow gym member.

Ok guys, this is getting a little frustrating..
I need people to try my app out and give me some feedback.
This is the most recent feedback:
Godless Biker:
"Feels like a placeholder for an app that actually does something"
I am not sure how to even take that...
When i read something like that this is what goes through my mind (biased of course since i wrote the app)
1. Did they even read the description????
2. Did they even attempt to use the app???
3. Do they even know how windows phone 7 ui works?
4. Im surprised they were able to rate the app seeing as though they weren't competent enough to use it. (sorry, anger..)
It's frustrating that i am unable to know why they think that way.
So i am asking you guys. Please if you workout at the gym please give the app a try and give me some feedback. Comments like Godless Biker's are completely useless and quite frankly id be surprised if he really actually used the app......
If you want to just try it out and give me feedback please do:

thx for sharing

Thanks. It's really help me in training.

Possible Suggestion: With exporting the workouts, is it possible to save to SkyDrive? They have some new APIs, so it would be nice if the files can be saved and retrieved from Skydrive account.

Wow, im surprised this is still getting interest. Unfortunately i abandoned this project a while ago due to poor code design by me. ( learned much since then ) I no longer have the source code but if the interest is there i could possibly re-write this app with some mango features and possibly skydrive support. I wrote this app to help me with my workouts at the gym, but i have frequently found my self simply using word / excel to track my workouts.

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,
Creamy

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!

Alpha tester here! Wanted to spread the word now that we were out of stealth phase!
Nextbit Baton offers several benefits to users, including:
Sync: Keeps apps and data in sync across multiple devices, allowing users to move fluidly from one device to the next without missing a beat.
Pass: Send any open app in its current state to another device, saving time and eliminating the tedious process of manually finding and opening apps on different devices.
Backup and restore: Save apps and data to your Nextbit profile in the cloud, so you can always get your apps back on any device.
Nextbit’s private beta is exclusively on CyanogenMod, the leading open-source, community-driven Android OS backed by Cyanogen Inc. The future public release of Nextbit will be available first on the commercially distributed Cyanogen operating system.
“Cyanogen continues to reimagine Android by introducing bold new firsts,” said Kirt McMaster, CEO of Cyanogen. “Nextbit represents one of these platform firsts that could only manifest on a truly open Android. We enable Baton to become a native OS level feature, creating huge benefit for our users.”

So as of right now this is CM-only, correct, not a free-standing app? Looks cool, I like the idea of having a 'cloud' backup of apps and not having to take up space on my phone.

Could be very popular.... If it wasn't limited to CM. Just a suggestion. ?
Many senior members seem to stay away from CM. ?

This is a nexus forum after all. Not to say we're AOSP fanboys or anything, but most of us are AOSP fanboys.

I am really like the concept. :good:

I'm another one who will pass (no pun intended) as long as it's CM only. Never had anything but issues with CM.

That's because like PA they always push out "milestones" which are betas. Hardly ever a real stable release. But that's just my opinion.

It works pretty well. Amazing concept that was executed fine.

That's not how it works.... It lets you, say you were playing a game, you paused in the middle of the race, and sent it to your tablet, it would pick up at that exact point, still paused even, you have to have the app on both devices, it takes the data and the apps current state, sends it to the clout and to your other device verrry quickly and easily too (source: i was in alpha)

How does it handle resources on the SD card? For example, a game that has a 1GB download of additional resources that get stored on your Data partition in some folder?
