What sux in Android Market

Communication.

As a developer I would like to have possibility to communicate with users. If they have problems with my App I would like to be able to communicate with them. To ask questions.

Currently only way to communicate is to use description or comment, but in both cases you are limited in size (for description limit is set to 325 characters). And truly both those "channels" are intended to something other.

Anybody with HTC Evo?

It seems that Bloggeroid have big problems with HTC Evo. It's something with images but I cannot say what.

So I'm searching for anybody with Evo who will be able to help me :-)
I will create special version or versions of Bloggeroid, and owner of HTC Evo who will want to help will check if problem still exists ;-)

So, anybody with HTC Evo here? :-)

[I'm not able to test it, first I don't have Evo, second Evo will even don't work in my country or even on my continent :-) we have here GSM/HSDPA not CDMA or EV-DO :-)]

Bloggeroid 1.0 :-)

I just published my first app to Android Market :-)
It's called Bloggeroid and it's simple Blogger client for Android.

To download it go to Android Market and search for Bloggeroid, or simply use this QR code:



Bloggeroid is simple. First screen which you will see is screen for writing post. You will choose where to publish when your post will be written :-)

Here list of things which you may do with Bloggeroid:

• to write a blog post,
• to add picture or pictures to post,
• to decide where in post content those images should be placed,
• to use simple "wikisyntax" (**bold** and __italic__),
• to publish your posts on any of your Blogger blogs,
• to use multiple Blogger accounts,
• to publish your posts as draft,
• to edit existing posts,
• to share images from gallery and send those images to your blog.

This all in stable and simple way :-)
App takes after installation about 120KB, so it will make happy users of all older phones like G1.

Bloggeroid

I'm currently working on some small Android project called Bloggeroid.

Bloggeroid is small and simple Blogger client. Currently it can only publish posts with multiple images to any blog connected to any Google Account (of course you can always send post without images ;-)).

Currently it has only about 34kB, so all G1 users should be happy ;-)

In comparison to more than 3MB of other solutions available on Android Market it isn't bad result ;-)

Anybody interested? ;-)

If you are interested here is link to APK file :-)

And movie showing how it works [this was done with older version, texts in presentation are in Polish ;-)]

Just testing my new Android app for blogging on Blogger :-)

This is only a test of this how works my Android app for blogging on Blogger.

I was able to blog on my "main" blog, now I'm trying here :-)

Btw. question to OOo2GD users, do you noticed problems with downloading documents from Google Docs when you are using "new editor" feature of Google Docs?

I'm asking because I have solution [in code] for this problem, but this is only "half of" solution... I cannot update any documents when this "new editor" feature is enabled, it seems simply that Google Docs API doesn't follow Google Docs features in this area.

[End of test blog post :-)]

Buzz Troll Remover v0.3.2

If you are using Google Buzz you might notice that Buzz lacks one feature. Hiding or blocking comments from some people under others peoples buzzes.

When you are following some popular person its almost sure that one or two commenter of buzzes from this person will be rude, unpleasant, too talkative or at least boring.
In other words, it is almost sure that you will meet an Internet Troll :-)

You may fight with it, but it isn't the best way, it is one of the worst. Internet trolls loves to fight and fighting with them gives them power.
So better way is to ignore, but ignoring is difficult when somebody writes unpleasant, rude or stupid comments.....
And in this place Buzz Troll Remover is :-)

You simply need to install it, and after this you will see in Buzz in your Gmail small [x] near name of each person in Buzz:



After you will see prompt with question if you really want to hide all comments from given person:



Movie below shows has it works :-)

Gouraud Shading in JavaScript :-)

[Update I just changed demo to new version, now on my machine it reaches speed from 90 to 100-110 fps per second :-)]

I was wondering if it is even possible to create Gouraud Shading with JavaScript.

And answer is yes :-)

Here is a proof on youtube :-)



I was wondering also if it is possible to run it on G1 on Android 1.6, and answer is also yes:



As you can see on Chrome we have about 30-40 fps [when recording was of it was almost always near 50 fps on my laptop with Intel Core Duo 2 2.2 GHz on Chrome 5, 20-25 fps on Firefox], on G1 it was only 0.5 fps :-)

If you want to check how it will work on your machine you may try:




If you are reading this post by RSS or Buzz you may use direct link to demo :-)

It will work on Chrome, Chromium and Firefox. I don't know why it doesn't work on Opera :-(

Earlier versions of this worked about 5-10 times slower but it was caused by using fillRect(int,int,int,int) of Canvas object, now I'm working directly with pixels and this gives us big speed boost :-)
