Donations...

I've gotten requests from a few people on the market comments and in email to include some form of donation or payment.  Well, I can't charge for the app, the tax implications are too much for me to worry about and this really is just a hobby of mine.  But if you like the app and you would like to show your gratitude in a monetary form, feel free to do so in any amount you think is appropriate.

I've read that to accept donations to me personally I need to make the purpose of the donation clear so I must stress that there should be no expectations of service associated with this donation, it is merely a gesture of appreciation.  Any donation made should not be intended as payment in any way.  The wwdiary app will remain free of charge, and I will never place any ads in it.

wwdiary - version 3.1.3 posted to Android Market

Some bug fixes for bugs reported  :)

wwdiary - version 3.1.2 posted to Android Market

UPDATE: Version 3.0, 3.1, and 3.1.1 had bugs in them and only very few people who sit on their update button should have them. :)   I'm sorry for that, serves me right for staying up so late :(


Enjoy weight tracking, everyone!

There's a new preference to tun on/off auto-updating of the point allowance, the what's new in the app is wrong :(

This post gives a good overview of the feature, so I'll save some virtual ink by letting you check it out there.

The weight tracking feature is done...

I'll just be testing it out personally for a day or so before having it go live on the market.   Those are not my actual weight values in case you were wondering....   :)

I plan to add more enhancements to this, such as long-pressing a particular entry and having the option to set it as the start of a new goal...  with dynamic calculations for each row since then showing your progress towards that goal.   (things like    -1.5lbs  -1% )  etc.

Right now, daily points are calculated based on the previous week's weighins.   You may weigh in as many times as you like (once per day) during a week.   But the last weighin for the week will be used as the weight value for the next week's calculations.   If your point reset day is Tuesday, then Monday is the last day you can weigh in to affect the next week point calculations.

In order to use the automatic point recalculation, you must have at one point used the point allowance calculator built into the settings screen.   Those values are needed when recalculating point allowances.   I'll be adding visual reminders for all this stuff in the app once I'm satisfied that it's working right.

Also:
Please do not stand on your phone to weigh in...        :)

Android ContentProviders

Learning about ContentProviders and redesigning the database to use them.

Just a peek...

I thought some of you may like to see a sneak peak at the next feature :)  I'm going to close the poll and call it a close victory for weight tracking.

Don't worry though, I fully intend to implement water/veg tracking, and I've still been thinking about the best visual interface for it.   BTW, if you have any suggestions on this, I'd be more than happy to hear them, just post them as a comment!

wwdiary - version 2.9.5 posted to Android Market

Added backup/restore database feature.

Preferences menu is now available from what's new screen(in case of future corrupt database issues). You will now be able to restore a database backup if you cannot load the app.

I don't anticipate this being a problem in the future, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Also, this is great if you change phones...    Like when I go buy a NexusOne in a month or so :)

Database backup/restore working...

I wanted to get this feature in before I did any more database upgrades JUST IN CASE! :)
Looks like the weight tracking feature is winning in the poll.

New Poll: Next feature?

Up at the top there is a new poll with the top 4 most requested features I've gotten from users.

Toss in a vote for your favorite!
