Straight Razor DB app for Android - official beta tests and releases!

OK - here's 0.4: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ml12phsm3l...tabase-0.4.apk

ChangeLog:

• New icon (see below)
• Fixed an issue in lower res devices where the list was not displaying properly

The new icon is something I'd really like some feedback on. Personally, I think the favicon of this site is the perfect icon, except that it's far too small and, when scaled up, looks horribly blurry and pixelated.

This newer icon is also somewhat smaller than ideal - but much larger than the previous icon and therefore scales more nicely. The largest image that'll be displayed on Google Play will still be slightly blurry, but not as bad as it could have been.

But, is it a good enough icon, or should I keep trying to either find a new one or find a larger version of the favicon?

Testing Beta 0.4 on Android 4.0.4 smartphone.

No crashes so far.

You're right, the icon is small. I can see why it is difficult to fit the razor and "SRP" all in a square icon. Some icon cropping may be the best way to go.

What resolution is required to get a good favicon for smartphones and similar devices? Maybe one of the SRP moderators has a large (resolution) version of the logo and can supply it for use.

Also, could you have the SRP logo/icon pop up full screen for about 2 seconds as an intro when the app is opened?

I've considered a two second splash screen in the past, but felt it was simply a waste of time. If, however, it's considered a good idea by users, I'm happy to add it as a feature in a future version.

This app is really great Ty for making it .. And being available for free.. Ur hard work is very appreciated

0.5: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aorwkqbidl...tabase-0.5.apk

ChangeLog:

• New Icon
• Added credit for Icon to "About" page.

I really like the latest version of the Icon - I think we have a winner :-)

Testing Beta 0.5 on Android 4.0.4.

The new icon looks great!

I found the following issue, which carried on from Beta 0.4.
For selections,
J. A. Henckels > J. A. Henckels
Henckels, J.A. > Henckels, J.A.
Henckels, J.A. > J. A. Henckels

The paragraphs at the bottom of the pages look different on the app when compared to viewing them on the website via a browser. The URL links in the website are not being shown properly in the app.

The issue with the henckels is to do with the data on SRP and out of my control. It does need tidying up - perhaps you could have a go? ;)

As far as the paragraphs go, they all look fine to me - what device are you viewing on?

The lack of links in the content is deliberate.

The only thing I found off on the paragraphs were the links. But, you said it is an SRP data issue, and that the links were deliberately left out, so it is fine. Glad to know it isn't due to the app. ;)

Overall, you did a great job with the app. :tu

Ok, last call for bugs! I'm going to make this live in Google play soon, so please report any problems quickly!

None that I've found so far, aside from the earlier issue I mentioned.

phunni, you did a fantastic job with this! Thank you very much!

Works fine on a Motorola Atrix2 and a Samsung Captivate Glide. :tu

I'll give you ten bonus points if you can add the ability to add razors to the DB.

Unfortunately, editing the database is not possible. I simply don't have the access.

OK - the app is now officially live on Google Play!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...trazordatabase

You may need to uninstall your existing version in order to install this one - although this is exactly the same as the last beta - only the version number has changed.

Thanks everyone, so much for all your help. If I could ask one more favour - please go and rate the app with 5 stars! I'd be very grateful.

In case you'd like to use the app, but do not have Google Play (such as Kindle Fire users), here is the apk for the latest version:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/erkrpp00qh...tabase-1.0.apk

For future versions, I'll probably use the beta test facility on Google Play - it'll allow me to see the cause of bugs/crashes more easily. If that's required, then I'll post here asking for help.

Once again - thanks for all your help!

Enjoy!

For those who haven't yet had the chance to install from Google Play and give the app 5 stars - it would really help!

Done! :) Many thanks for all your hard work pitting this together.

Another beta - this time to test a new feature! I was going to use the Beta test feature on Google Play, but it was too awkward to set up - and I have a headache!

Let me know if you like the new fast scroll feature. It's highly unlikely to break anything, but let me know how you get on.

Thanks!

1.0.1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1b9obnn04h...base-1.0.1.apk

Changelog:

• Items now sorted Alphabetically (only makes a minor difference)
• Fast Scroll with Alphabetical Helpers now included
• minor display fixes for older Android versions

testing on CM 10.1.2-targa. Droid Bionic. 4.2.2

The latest beta has now been published on Google Play. It's exactly the same APK as above for the beta, so if you don't have access to Google Play, you can just use the link above.

5 stars! thanks so much for taking the time to put something like this together for a mobile platform.

New Stable version!

• Fixed issue where we were (correctly) falling fould of SRP's (correct) security policy

Just been looking at the app's statistics on Play and I notice I have users from a few different languages: Italian, Dutch, German, French and Swedish.

I'd just like to reissue the call for anyone who wants to provide translations. It's not of the SRP data itself, just the text that is part of the app - if that makes sense. So error messages, the about page etc. Any volunteers? It shouldn't take long at all...

If you take a look in the library there was a czech translation of something - don't remember the details, but if you find it it may be interesting to see if you can interface to it, if that's the same thing other translations could be done straight in the wiki and not in the app.

As I guess I am the "Italian" one who is using/testing your app, I will be happy to translate your string file and related resources. Send me a PM so we can exchange mails.
