News and updates from a Philly Android developer
WMMR Android Application
Who says iPhone users can have all the fun??! There’s a pretty cool iPhone app that grabs podcasts from 93.3 WMMR here in Philly and allows for playback and a whole bunch of other cool stuff. I think this might be one of my new fun projects I’ll start working on towards the end of the month. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get some airtime on Preston and Steve for this! Gadzooks!!

Android Market Musings
about 8 months ago - 4 comments
Over the past few months, there have been hundreds of articles posted discussing the merits (and downsides) of the Android Market. Please allow me to add just one more. As an Android developer, I’ve been constantly trying to think of better ways in which to best promote my existing (as well as yet-unpublished) applications. Simply
Merry Christmas! Tip Calculator 1.2 Released
about 8 months ago - 5 comments
Earlier this week I mentioned that I’ll be releasing my next version of Tip Calculator. Well, it’s here! Lots of folks asked for a way to calculate tips for individuals, and I listened. Version 1.2 now has an additional tab just for that! Currently it supports individual tip calculations for up to 5 people. I’ll
Moving up in the world (or at least in the Android Market)

Usually every day or couple of days I like to go into the Android Market and review my application’s user comments. Today was no different, with one awesome exception: My Tip Calculator has surpassed Bank of America’s mobile banking application! I am now proud to announce that my humble Tip Calculator is now the #1

about 1 year ago - 5 comments
I would like to announce the upgrade to my old Tip Calculator! The 1.0.2 release is now Cupcake friendly (yes, a little old, but I haven’t been able to do much of anything since before the 1.5 release). It also got a little UI rearrangement as I have had my application localized into several languages.
Demo App – Get Headers
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
One of my best friends has recently gotten the itch to develop an application for Android, but he had nowhere to start really. Sure, there is PLENTY of documentation, he could even mess around with the API Demos included in the SDK. Instead, he had an idea, and wanted to try and build it out
Android Market Marketing
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
I read a really well put-together article this morning regarding marketing paid apps for Android. I liked how the author compared the Android Market to a catalog. The dynamics of the Android Market are quite different as compared to the iTunes App Store, so it’s really hard to make comparisons there. One commenter mentioned that
You know what really grinds my gears…?

Please, enough with the whole “iPhone is far superior to Android/G1″ schtick. People should really stop moaning about how less capable Android is than the iPhone firmware/software, it’s getting a little old. And for those who base their opinions solely upon the downsides of the G1, here’s some news: there will be some handsets coming
AndroidTapp.com G1 Giveaway – 2 Weeks Left!

I just came across this pretty cool promotion that AndroidTapp.com is doing.. Giving anyone a chance at winning a new G1 in the color of their choosing! Shipping is taken care of by AndroidTapp.com, but any sort of service activation, data plan, yadda yadda yadda is up to you. I think this is a really
Application Requests?

What sort of things would you like to see in the next few months? Here are a few ideas I’ve seen so far: Chemistry application (useful for highschool/college kids, perhaps?). Blockbuster.com application (to rival Netflix). Mint.com application. Box.net application. TV/DVR scheduler. What other things would be useful to have running on Android? Share this article:

The phone is a great toy
hopefully I will get some time to tinker with the API. I have done a bit of development in Java so it look promising.

Will this app also stream the live wmmr feed as well as download the PnS podcast? If so, this could be the greatest app ever made! Please keep us posted!

Are you still looking to release this soon? I’m really looking forward to it! Maybe you can get a mention on preston and steve too, they talk about the iphone app all the time but never anything about android.
about 6 months ago
Yes I am. I’m currently working on getting in touch with P&S to market the application when I publish it! Stay tuned!

Hi Matt – Right now the WMMR app will do the various PnS podcasts to start. Live streaming will come later, but it’s been tough to work with right now

Have you heard anything from the show? I have been using a combination of Google Listen (for the podcasts) and iRadio (yes I found they have a 93.3 stream). to do this for now. Let me know if you need a Beta tester.

Preston & Steve announced the WMMR streaming app this morning but it doesn’t do what your app description claims like grabs podcasts, etc. Are you still working on this?
