New Version: DBNotes

I've been doing some work on the DBNotes app that you can find out about in a previous post.

Recent Changes:

• Bug that was causing clicked links to open inside the WebView thats a part of the app is fixed. Links now open up the browser when you click on them
• You can now long click on links to delete them from your html file. They will be deleted from the local version of the html file, you must sync after that to have the change reflected in the version hosted on dropbox.
• Links can no longer have text that is different than the URL, I had to take this option away to implement the delete ability.
• If you have a URL copied to your clipboard when you press the 'Add Link' button it will get automatically pasted into the box for you.

Galaxy Tab Root Broken with Recent OTA Software Update

The recent OTA update to my Sprint Galaxy Tab removed the root access that I had to my device. The app that I used to root it the first time z4root no longer seems to do the trick either. I was unable to find an Android app solution that would work in giving back root access so I turned to the computer program SuperOneClick which did the job for me. I did however have to find and install the Samsung issued device drivers in order for it to work. Those were a bit of a pain to find so I am going to link to a copy of them in case anyone reading this should happen to need them. It can be found here.

Happy Rooting.

New App: DBNotes

This is an app i've been playing around with for a few days now. It lets you store some notes and/or links inside of an HTML file and it allows you to sync this file via dropbox so that you can also view it on your computer in a normal browser. This is still a rough version so it is not quite as user friendly as it could be. If you have any suggestions to improve it please do share.

To get it set up: The first time you open the app its going to create DBNotes.html in the root of your SD card. It will ask you to press menu and enter the URL to your DBNotes file. Before you can do that you must press the 'Sync' Button and upload the file to your dropbox somewhere. Then go to the dropbox app find the DBNotes.html file and copy a link to it. Go back into DBNotes app press menu and paste the link into the URL box. After that your ready to go, you can add notes(plain text), or links(If you leave the text field of the link blank it will just use the URL as the text). You can also edit the raw html of this file. Anytime the sync button is green that means that the local file is in sync with the one hosted on dropbox. Red means it is out of sync, yellow means it is in the process of syncing. Let me know if you have any questions about it and check back here for new versions that are easier to use and have more features.

Hello

Hi, my name is Tim. I am an Android developer and I am starting this blog as a place that I can share some of the apps that I've made. And talk about anything and everything that crosses my mind related to Android, mobile in general, programming, games, QR Codes, and anything else that I happen to come up with. I hope you'll enjoy reading what I have to say, and/or playing with some of the applications that I will make available through this blog.
