12 Days Later...

Hello all,

I have been quite busy making one app: Defining. Since I have been concentrating my full effort towards this one app, I unfortunately was not able to complete the 12 that I anticipated. However, out of failure, births great success. I was able to launch an advanced app that is well-deserved of my effort. Introducing: Defining.

Defining is an app that uses image processing to get the text from the camera feed. This then is fed into a hashmap where the definition is then displayed.

The source code will be ready soon. The app is still in progress because of all the words that are constantly being needed to add.

For the next week I will be publishing apps that I have been working on.

Happy Coding,
Mike

Button Duel Day 7...kinda

Hello all,


I did not manage to get much progress done on Dutton Duel because I have been concentrating a lot of my time towards database programming. However, in the next two days, I hope to spend all of my free time finishing Button Duel so it can be released on Christmas Eve.

Happy Coding,
Mike

Button Duel Continued

Hello all, I have finished the majority of the code for one of the game modes. The app should be completed by the end of this weekend. However, I am going to postpone the release of this until December 25th. Now why would I do that? Good question. From  December 25th until January 5th I plan to do 12 days of apps. During the duration of these 12 days, I intend to release 12 applications; one a day. This will be a creative yet engaging challenge. I am looking forward to it starting with the release of Button Duel.

Happy Coding,
Mike

Button Duel Day 2

Hello all,
I have made the layout for the menus of Button Duel along with the layout for one of the game modes. The layout of the menus is a simple button layout with some textviews. It is uninteresting to include in this blog post. Anyway, I plan to have two games modes: Tug of War and Classic. I have planned out the layout for the Classic game mode:

Tomorrow, I hope to link up all of the layouts in addition to adding my color theme. I would also like to get started on the code of the game modes

Happy Coding,

The Return

Hello,

It has been a while, hasn't it? I have been busy with both android programming and other events and believe have not been able to blog in quite a while. Anyway, Cool Reminders is on hold for right now. In the past weeks I have developed three apps: Rock Calculator and Phone Finder (My personal favorite). The source code for Phone Finder can be found here. I now intend to blog this week about making an app called Button Duel. Button Duel is a game that consists of pressing a button more than your opponent. I first plan to make the game local but then in a future update, incorporate only game modes. I will keep you guys updated along with source code.
It has been a while, and I am looking forward to the most exciting weeks of android development yet!

Happy Coding,
Mike

Cool Reminders Day 4

Hello all,

It has been quite a while since I have blogged, hasn't it? Anyway, OH YEAH is up right here. Overall, it's an obnoxious app; if you are looking for some laughs, you should definitely check it out.
In other news, I have started coding Cool Reminders. I am currently trying to figure out how to save data. I am not posting any screen shots of the layout yet because that will probably change. Keep you guys updated.
Happy coding,
Mike

Persevering Day 7 and Cool Reminders Day 1

Hello all,

Two of my apps that I published over the weekend are right here and here. My other app that I said would be coming out today is getting pushed back to tomorrow because I want to add some additional features. Before I start reflecting on my previous two published apps, I want to talk about the main app this week. Cool Reminders will be an app that will contain an editable list of reminders that the user can view. Along with a cool feel and appearance, it will make for quite an interesting app. I want to make this app so I can practice using array lists and storing data even when the user exists the app.
Now, time to reflect on my past two apps. Jazz Calculator is an app where I did not learn any anything new (in terms of programming). That is the reason I did not make it the main app to blog about.
During this week, I learned to manage many screens and learned how to make curved buttons. All in all, I would have liked to pick apps that would help me learn more.
Looking forward to the upcoming app. This week I will try to post the source code.
        My other app, titled "OH YEAH" will also be an app just for the purpose of making money. I am not learning anything new. It will essentially be another sound app consisting of different voices saying "Oh yeah".

Happy coding,
Mike
