    1. Had to raise min version to 3.0 because some methods were deprecated so basically I could use the deprecated methods and support 2.2 but this is considered bad practice…
      Glad to know it works on emulator!

      1. I’m fetching the latest entries from RSS feeds, parsing to extract image url, download and display latest 20 for each site enabled in settings.

  1. Android app – RECENT CHANGES:

    – Added Guess-who mode
    – Restore state on orientation change in guess-who mode
    – Custom image source support
    – Added German translation (thanks Suki412)

    =======================

    Android app – COMING SOON:

    Guess-who:
    – set image as wallpaper
    – game stats

    Watch pics:
    – set wallpaper when watching enlarged pic
    – swipe left/right to watch previous/next pic
    – improved custom image sources management (delete single entries, edit entries)
    – cache downloaded images for faster restore on device orientation change

    Others:
    – Warn user that an internet connection is required in case it’s not available
    – Better graphical design (could use some help on this one, I’m not a designer :))
    – Idol DB (more info coming soon)

  2. Works nice on Xperia ZL.

    It would be nice to have idol schedules with filtering. I know it’s hard to know every single event, but it can be done with in app contributions.

  3. Thanks!

    I think we’re getting closer to a “usable” version.

    About the artifacts that appear on scaling, I’m not sure what causes them because they do not happen on Android 4.1 but happen on 2.2 from what I saw.

    Can you provide a screnshot to show small controls?

    Shall try to improve the app with your suggestions when time permits!

  4. I can’t download the app on my phone, it seems like the link is dead. Can I still get the VIP password? 🙁

  5. Yes I tried to download it directly from my Samsumg Galaxy. Maybe it comes from the fact that I’m in China at the moment.. or maybe it’s just the link that’s not working, I don’t know. Unfortunately I don’t have an iPad ^^

  6. Ok it works fine now. In the “Play Guess-Who” section, pictures don’t appear (just a blank square in the middle of the screen) and the button “Next” doesn’t work, I tried to change manually to other girls and just wait for a while, sometimes a small blue square with an interrogative marker appears.. Then the “Watch latest pics” section is bit better, pictures do appear, it works fine (but a bit slow, maybe due to my connection). I tested this app with an HTC. If I can you help in any other way, just tell me what I can do. Otherwise.. please send me a VIP pass as soon as you can! Thank you Sashi 😀

  7. [Guess-who]
    – Add loading message
    – Autoload next image on load error
    – Add more idols (T-ara)

  8. [Guess-who]
    – Fixed layout
    – More space in landscape orientation (can see the image better)

  9. [Guess-who]
    – Added more idols
    – Added difficulty setting
    – Added sound effects (+ setting to disable)

    Now I think all the initial functionality is implemented and should be working as designed 🙂
    Don’t hesistate to write a comment if you find bugs!

    Next up: graphical improvements

  10. Don’t have much time at the moment either. I had a google code project setup but will definitely create a repository on bitbucket and push the code there in a few minutes.

  11. Development is stalled for the moment.

    Should have some time to spend on it early February so you can expect some improvements around that time next year!

    • improved app design (icons, colors)
    • increased responsiveness
    • show progress bars for long running operations
    • latest posts
    • latest comments
    • new navigation menu
    • moved code to bitbucket
  12. Thanks for the feedback

    I will add “kpop” somewhere in the description, thanks for pointing this out!

    I pushed an update last night that fixes a few things in guess-who mode:
    – center image and fit to screen
    – don’t scale loading image 8)

    Will add support for back button very soon!

    For swipes in guess-who, I still have to find a good solution for this one because using the google search javascript API forces me to use a WebView and I can’t directly use the same method as in “Latest pics” mode. But I will eventually find a way to get around this!

    Can you explain a bit more about your idea of “RSS history” (last point)?

    For iOS and Python code, I can give some help if needed but you should push your code to bitbucket so we can work as a team and also need to explain me what you’re doing 8)

      1. I’m using that kind of trick (WebView) in the Android app in order to use the js api but indeed the main problem with this approach is that there are always some pictures that do not match the search terms.

        Your idea is just fine. The only downside is that it will take some time to prepare and filter the images.

        I’ll post some image stats for the android app below in a sec 😉

        1. 15+ people using the app is not so much but at least it is useful to some people so that’s fine with me 8)

          About the picture app, hmm it’s a little bit out of the context of kpop/jpop and this site but why not

          My advice is to target Android first as it’s easier to get your app on the store (no validation/approval required), costs less to push an app to the store

          Android:

          • development kit available for all major platforms
          • free to develop on real device
          • can distribue apps via any channel you want for free, only have to pay once for pushing to google play
          • google play: 25$ pay once, push all apps that you want

          iOS:

          • requires OSX in order to develop
          • 99$ / year just to test your app on real device
          • need to approve each app

          If you want to target the largest audience , then ideally, it would be best to use a cross platform framework so that you write your app once and it runs on android, ios, windows phone 8, blackberry + others (=> don’t do what I did if you start developing a new app ^^)

  13. 2all: Yup, if you think something should be improved, please tell it here! We can’t guess what you want if you don’t tell us!

    1. Unfortunately don’t really do that stuff or have an Ipad. Guess I’m out of luck. Thanks anyway.
