Progress on Stop Loss App

I am still programming the Stop Loss App. There are still some major issues need to do like report layout design, localization settings, financial news feed, etc. I think I need one or two more months to complete it. Here is the new icon I designed for it. : )

Project for Jun - Aug 2013

My health is not quite good for Jun and I stopped taking the electronic class to take more rest. From Jun, I started a new android project which called "Stop Loss App" which is a financial app to keep track of self purchased stocks and can set stop loss (stop gain) to remind oneself when the target price is reached.

The progress is slow as I felt unfamiliar with Android programming as I left it for some time and the programming sense also seems delayed and stupid. I hope the situation will change better for later times.

Recently, I cashed out US$90 from the apps income. Although it is small in amount and I accumulated for 1 year. It encourages me for the hope that app programming will one day bring enough income for me.

Also, I found besides programming, I need to pay more attention to apps marketing and choosing the apps advertising agent. They directly affect the download volume and thus the income from the apps.

Simple Compass App is Ready for Download

Sorry for late update. I am busy studying a electronic class and building simple circuits recently. All those electronic components are very interesting with their own personalities and functions like resistor, capacitor, diode, transistor, LED. It is fascinating that the combined components can do so many different tasks.

 



Back to the app development : ), the Simple Compass App is ready at Google Play for download:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=krasivei.apps.simplecompass

It is a simple compass with the electromagnetic field strength displayed. The background electromagnetic field strength around us should be ~40 - 60 uT. If it exceeds that range, the compass app will probably not functioning correctly. Besides, the app provide some educational information regarding electromagnetism on the Earth.

Project for Feb - Mar 2013

I am interested in Physics phenomena recently, especially in magnetic field, electricity and energy conversion. I am working on a Simple Compass App for Feb - Mar 2013. There are a series of sensor for android phones such as magnetic field, gyroscope, gravity, etc. For detail description, please refer to Sensors Overview.

Besides that, I would like to build up a simple physical model  for experiencing energy conversion. Let's see if I can make it and post it here to show you: ) ...

Where Are You, the Idea?

After the Kids Drag Game, I was taking a short break in creating Android apps and was looking for good ideas to code for... But unluckily, not much interesting insights come to me. T_T

I was going out with my girl friend and little scooter during this short break. It is relaxing : ) I will come to the World of Android Apps Design in Feb again... though the theme is still not fixed and clear yet. I would like to make an app to help solve problems people face...still no idea of what it is ... Idea, please come!!

Kids Drag Finally Comes..

The Kids Drag mini game app for kids finally was done. Kids Drag is a simple drag-and-drop matching game. Once kids drag the colorful icons to the corresponding dark ones, words will be spoken out. Kids learn the drag-and-drop action of mobile devices and pronounciation through this interactive action.

Targeted ages of kids: 2 - 8 years old

Idea of the game: From my 3-year-old cousin who likes to play the I-phone :p. I wish to create a simple game in Android so that she can play with it and it comes out this mini game.

This is my first game app using Andengine to code. Feel free to give me comments : ).

Struggling and Vacation..

I am still struggling through the coding of the kids mini game. The progress is a bit left behind. I have to postpone the deadline to Dec 2012. Hope I can make it done in Dec although I have planned a vacation to Taipei and Yilan. : P Taiwan , I am coming...

During these days, I collected some feedback and recommendations for the Dictionary app and Parking app. I would like to summarize up here so that I can view and decide what to improve in the next version.

For the Dictionary app:
- English > Chinese dictionary is not accurate.
- the CE-Dict has a newer source

For the Parking app:
- some parking position is missing in the app
- better to include the street view
- better to allow personal editing of parking info

Thanks for your opinions and using the apps. I will keep improving them : )
