OpenIntents

The last days before the Android Developer Challenge deadline have been quite stressful. Here we present the final version that we submitted to the ADC.
We put all our efforts into fixing bugs and polishing the documentation.

One notable addition is the inclusion of the wii-mote patch by Dale Thatcher: It allows to control the Sensor simulator and therefore also applications in the Android emulator that use sensors.

We have also added a new activity that can add default locations, newsfeeds, and an mp3 file if you start OpenIntents for the first time. SplashPlay got extended looping functionality.

We are getting closer to the final deadline of the Android Developer Challenge. As such, one of our main tasks was to improve the documentation and include step-by-step instructions for all our intents.

But also code-wise there has been a lot going on under the hood: The alert provider has been improved and interacts nicely with locations. Locations show also the distance to the current location. This made the favorite locations sample obsolete, so we removed it. The content browser is now called tag browser. Among many fixed issues, it lets you define unique tags. The shopping list has new share capabilities using GTalk and comes with three distinct themes.

The latest release features a new Media player that lets you play your favorite songs and videos from internal memory as well as from the SD card. Building on top of the media player is SplashPlay that lets you easily learn how to play the guitar.

We have enhanced the Content browser by a MultiWordAutoComplete feature and a context menu, and added new map functionality to Locations.

Our Newsreader now also supports Atom feeds and the Newsreader service can start on boot if desired.

We are gradually starting to build a new web site for OpenIntents. Currently, most information is available at the OpenIntents developers site, so please have a look there.
