Any Chance of an SDMB Mobile App?

Half a day…for this?. An off-topic weak-ass re-run personal attack?
Talk about sad.

Back to the real topic: I took a look at your trial app, otseng. I’ve got a 7 inch Galaxy Tab 2 with Android 4.0, and I can see where this could come in handy, time wise. Nobody is seriously suggesting that enabling posting would somehow “corrupt” the board, btw.

No! No hugs here!!

Hugs go in MPSIMS. But you can’t talk about the board in MPSIMS. So you can’t have hugs in threads about the board.

Don’t make them close this thread, Fenris…

Some of us have lives outside the board. Sounds like you not only need a hug, but you’re lonely too. Awww.

I installed it, and all I’m getting is a black screen with a grey bar at the bottom that says “Add Site” that does nothing when I touch it. What next?

I hear and obey. :wink:

Sorry Czarcasm. No hugs, no matter how sad :frowning: you are. Akennett has spoken.

Try whispering in its ear a little.

Thanks for taking a look at it.

I’ve tried Tapatalk before. And there were so many problems with it I figured I might as well try to write something better. For starters, it doesn’t install to SD and they don’t plan on ever changing that. Also, I’m working on being able to display polls.

You should get a popup of a list of sites to add.

Didn’t happen.

I haven’t tested it with Android 4.0. I’ll work on seeing what’s going on.

OK, I think I figured it out. See if this works for you now.

I just installed this. The version history claims to fix the Add Site issue on 4.0. I’m guessing that’s real time feedback.

I kinda like the app. I feel like the UI needs some tweaking, although I’m torn how. Screen real estate is precious on a phone, but I feel like the lists are a bit too…bland? I don’t know how to explain it.

That being said…it’s very usable. In fact, while playing with the app, I see the otseng posted that he thinks he fixed the 4.0 issue. I can see using this as a time killer while I’m waiting around in a doctor’s office, or whatever.
I also like the fact that I can jump to any page.

And it’s only crashed on my once so far…I did a long press on a message, and had it force close. I wasn’t able to duplicate the failure, though.

ETA: Any chance you want to recompile it for the Android Player for my Playbook? I’m told that it’s a real easy step.

Perfect! Thank you.

Great. I’m glad it works for you now. If you see anything else not working, let me know and I’ll try to fix it.

I’ll take a look into it and get back with you.

What does the bolded line mean? I don’t have any trouble using Tapatalk with the SDMB.

WAG - He’s talking about the SD card, not the Straight Dope.

Thanks.
