I’ve just published my first Android application!!

Basically the application is an alarm for absent-minded. The application reminds you about things you shouldn’t forget. For instance, you are at home and you think, when i leave, i can’t forget to check whether the gas is on or not, so you open the application “Unforgettable things” in your Android phone, set the notification “Check the gas”

Type the unforgettable thing

Type the unforgettable thing

and leave the phone on the table. That’s it!!!. When you put your phone back in your pocket the application warns you (with sound, led and a notification) :

Once you unlock the mobil, you can see the notifications

Once you unlock the mobile, you can see the notifications

Once you unlock the mobile, you can see the notification.

When you touch the notification you’ll see the whole note and you can put it off.

See the note

Seeing the unforgattable thing

Basically the application detects the movement caused by the mobile going back into your pocket. The applications is also capable of detect when you stand up, so if you’re seating in a bar, you can type a note and when stand up, the mobile warns you.

After a long time, i’ve come back. Up to now this blog was about management but i’ve got more interests, so today i’m starting a new blog in which i’m going to write about everything and nothing:), i’ll start with Android.

2 months ago, i bought an HTC Magic (Android) and this definitely stirred my interest in Android. I love Android, it’s great stuff, very well thought-out. Developing for Android is very easy and rewarding. I used to develop for J2ME, and i was sick and tired of that shit, it’s buggy, annoying, and so on. Android is quite the opposite. You can do whatever you want, everything is enabled, and you can use all the hardware. When i started to look into Android SDK, ithought, thank god!!! everything makes sense!!.

So i’ve started my first application and this week i’m going to release the first beta (0.1), i’m waiting for MrKoala who has to the icon of the application. And once i’ve had released the application i’ll write about the code.
