Hi there. I am new to this group, and proud to say I just built my first Android app in about 10 hours... including uploading it for release in the Market! Fortunately, it is a fairly simple application and I am not crazy, just working against the deadline of November 4th. More on this...
I am part of a group working something called TwitterVoteReport.com (also known as http://VoteReport.us) Twitter Vote Report is an all- volunteer network of software developers, designers, and other collaborators have teamed up with the award-winning blog techPresident to launch this effort. The only resources contributed to this project are the participants’ time and expertise! Using Twitter Vote Report, voters will be able to share their experiences and resources with one another to solve problems quickly (e.g. “don’t come now, the line is too long”). These messages will then be aggregated and mapped so that we can “see” voting problems around the country in real-time. Since there was an effort to create an iPhone application underway, I decided to "port" that work to Android. I've been involved in mobile software and Java for a long time, and thought this seemed like a fantastic application that made a lot of sense. After a full day of hacking yesterday, and a few hours of testing (I promise), the first release of the app was done. I hate calling things 1.0, so I didn’t - VoteReport for Android 0.9.4 is released and available in the Android Market. If you have a T-Mobile G1, just open the Market application and search for “votereport” or simply browse under the Productivity category. You can also download it direct at: http://openideals.com/android/VoteReport.apk. Code will be up soon (this is an open source effort). This is very simple app with a powerful concept, but it does do some more complicated things under the cover (location lookup, web integration, REST calls, etc). I am working on a GeoRSS parser (for http://votereport.us/reports.atom) to generate a MapView overlay, but that might take a few more hours. Read on if you'd like at: http://openideals.com/2008/10/30/votereport-for-android-094/ Otherwise, if you are in the US, please check out the entire project: http://twittervotereport.com Best, Nathan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
