Thread: 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.

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!
