Share My Creation First B4A App: Computer Jargons! with source code and apk package

ET8JQ.png

Hello folks.

Bought the full version of B4A, never regret it. Programmed this app in less than a day.

Its a program that displays computer jargons such as USB, AVI, AGP, HDMI etc. You are able to search for a term/definition, email the term, bookmark a term, share the term, add a custom term and many others.

Do try it, I need feedback, will be releasing to Google Play within a few days time.

Thank you!

Also, do appreciate comments about the display of the app on other devices. I only managed to run it in my GS3 (720X1280), portrait mode only.

THS APP does not support Lanscape mode.

You better remove the source code, the reason? you are exposing your FTP user name and password, anyone could change it and take control of your server, that's a BIG NO NO.

Yup, I edit the ftp username and password to be "???" so, now, its not exposed. Thanks! :)

I wanted to share the source code so B4A newbies can learn more about this wonderful Basic4Android program!

Sure, that's good, but also be careful of not posting anything private/confidential.

Ok, now a few suggestions if I may:

1- I see you are using several variants, that's good, but it will be better that you used the Designer Scripts that way it will fit on every screen, for example, THIS is how your app looks on my Nexus 7 tab.

2- Choose different colors, the ones you are currently using are hard to read.

You've done a good job, keep it up.

Hello sir.

Thanks for the kind feedback.

I am not sure about the designer script. Mind giving me an example? This is what i use for every resolution so far:
AutoScaleRate(value)
AutoScaleAll

Thank you.

Since your app is designed for portrait only you just need 1 script for all resolutions, if you don't mind, I could modify your code so you can take a look and see how can be done.

Ok, I just modified the ABOUT screen, that will give you an idea.

THIS is the original code, and THIS is using the designer scripts. as you can see, it looks better and you need only 1 variant.

Check the attached project.

Now it's scaling fine, look at THIS screenshot, now what you need to do is work on the colors, as you can see on that screenshot, the text is hard to read.

One more thing, you can remove all the extra variants you have, you only need the 320x480

I'm guessing you are developing your app on ICS or using some kind of custom theme, so, you better change your colors my friend, otherwise users with Froyo, Gingerbread, etc, will see THIS and I don't think that's easy to read. :D, on ICS/JellyBean it looks like THIS, still some items are hard to read, I would suggest leave the default colors for now.

Open the manifest using the Manifest editor and change this line

From:
B4X: 
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
To:
B4X: 
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4"/>
And you will see what's going on.

Nice app Mcky

Keep up with good work :thumbsup:
