Moving my blog

As development on the forum software I use continues, really cool new time saving things start to happen...   Like the ability to use my forum as a blog.

I'll be discontinuing my postings here, and will redirect my http://blog.canofsleep.com to the new location at http://forum.canofsleep.com/blog

The forum software has an rss feed for the blog, so you can subscribe for updates if you wish.   Thanks to the people who have followed me here, but posting to so many different places about updates for wwdiary was getting to be an annoying time sink.

Hope you like the new blog on the forum!

Happy New Year! (almost)

Some new updates before the new year:

• New default weight unit display option in settings and from menu in weight log screen.
  
• Entering in a weight with no units (ex. "200") will assume the units of the default weight unit in settings.

wwdiary - version 4.0.1 posted to Android Market

Some major changes in this update.   Please read the info on the form here in detail to understand what you need to do: http://forum.canofsleep.com/discussion/132/wwdiary-new-ww-plan

Please carry on discussion in the forum as opposed to in comments on the blog.  It is much easier for me to respond to you there.

Here's the apk file:

wwdiary - version 3.9.7 posted to Android Market

I've gotten a few reports from users about how if they set their weekly point allowances higher, they would still only ever be able to use a max of 35 weekly points.  This issue is corrected in this update.

Also, some additional work around barcode scanning is underway, and some of the work is being moved out in this update.  You shouldn't see any changes yet, but if you do see something wrong please let me know.

Here's the apk file:

• http://forum.canofsleep.com/apks/WWDiary-v3.9.7.apk

wwdiary - version 3.9.5 posted to Android Market

You can now edit how many weekly points (flex points) you have for a week.

Also, I've been working to make sure that phones with SenseUI and MotoBlur show the theme for WWDiary the way it looks in the screenshots.  On some phones it looks weird, because the native theme has been customized.

I hope to one day theme the entire application to look smooth and consistent, so first I'm working on getting all phones looking like the screenshots.  Then down the road, hopefully I'll have time to work on a better looking overall theme.

Please, if you see any inconsistencies let me know.   Selection color should be orange (yeah I know not everyone will like this, but I need to identify all the areas in my custom theme before I work on replacing it.)  Buttons should be a light gray.  I think I may have missed the text box selection colors, those may appear blue on some phones.    Let me know if I missed anything else ( I don't have a phone to reproduce this, I've only seen it in app reviews and screenshots).

New forum software update

I'm moving my forum software to a new version.

Those of you who have signed in via google will have your passwords reset to a new generated value and emailed to you.  When you log in via google again, it will ask you to connect to your old ID, just give it the password you were emailed.

wwdiary - version 3.9.4 posted to Android Market

In a past update I moved the files on the sdcard to a more standard location.  This resulted in the unintended consequence of backup files being deleted when the app was uninstalled.   This update restores the original location of files so that they will not be removed and you can keep your data.

This update also includes some performance and widget update fixes.  Thanks to Walter for helping me track them down!

Here's the apk file:

• http://forum.canofsleep.com/apks/WWDiary-v3.9.4.apk

wwdiary - version 3.9.3 posted to Android Market

Thank you for your continued donations, suggestions, and error reports!
Feedback helps me make the app better :)

This version includes:

• A slight performance improvement over the last version. I think this will fix the
  "database is locked" error messages that some users have been sending in reports for.
  
• Bug fix: Custom formula works again. Sorry about that.
  
• Bug fix: Widget updates should not flash the ui of other widgets.  You may need to remove and re-add the points widget to your home screen.

Here's the apk file:

• http://forum.canofsleep.com/apks/WWDiary-v3.9.3.apk

wwdiary - version 3.9.2 posted to Android Market

New widget to display how many points you have left for the day!



This version also contains bug fixes:

• Widget updates should not go haywire anymore.
• Blank custom formulas and incorrect formulas will no longer send an error report. The default value will be used or an error message will appear, respectively.
• You can no longer enter in negative fiber values.

Also, I have not made any changes to the app yet to implement the new WW system.  All of the changes mentioned in the last update were in preparation for a change.  To the best of my ability, I'm going to allow people to use the system that they feel most comfortable with.  It will eventually require you to modify defaults, but when I change to use the new system, I'll post a tutorial on how to revert the new behavior.

wwdiary - version 3.9.1 posted to Android Market

WW is changing their system in the US.  To me at least, the changes look good, but I know not everyone always will feel that way.   So I'm making a few changes to allow people to make additional tweaks to the system of their choosing.

One of those tweaks is the ability to enter in your own custom formula for food point calculations.  Check out preferences at the bottom in the hacks section and read here to learn about constructing your own formula.  The forum is a good place to ask questions and get help.  Share any good formulas you come up with!

This change has the added benefit of letting those users in the UK who are dissatisfied with the formula I've been trying unsuccessfully(it seems) to implement tweak their own and hopefully share it with the rest of the community.

Here's the apk file:

wwdiary - version 3.9 posted to Android Market

This version should fix the problems that users have reported with favorites and using multipliers with food items from the drop down.

wwdiary - version 3.8.9 posted to Android Market

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR DONATING!!!

It really is very appreciated!

Changes:

• Fix for some entries in the suggestion list causing force closes.
• Entries that were entered with calculator values were unable to be changed later.  This update provides a clear button so that you can clear out calc stored values and adjust manually.

wwdiary - version 3.8.8 posted to Android Market

Font colors for the weekly and activity points have been darkened on the phones where they appear very light.

Non US locales can now enter in decimal weights.
I understand that many countries use a comma "," and not a period "." as the decimal character when writing numbers.  However, there is a bug in Android where decimal numbers are not recognized according to the locale they are set for.  This means that an edit box that accepts decimal numbers will not allow a comma.

There's not much I can do about this until it's fixed in Android.   So for the time being, I've tried to make all number values that display only show in the format you are used to.   But whenever you have to enter in a decimal number, you'll have to use the period "." character.
