Beer Counter - Android

Count IT

2010-07-18T07:47:00.000-07:00

A small update to count it.
First, there was an issue with the selection of pictures. These feature doesn't worked on Nexus One 2.2. The other thing is the reset of the widegets from the main application. There is a new menu entry to reset all widgets to there initial value.

Actual feature list:

Make new long press option menu entries to add/subtract the value from the current counter to/from the other
Make a history or logging that track the activities on the counter(s).
A widget to count down. (DONE)
A widget that count between two numbers. Automatic reset to the start value if you reach the top value.
Reset all widgets from the main app. (DONE)
Count up and down in the main app with the volume hardware keys (configurable).

Feature Request - Count It

2010-06-22T13:55:00.001-07:00

There is a new and very interested feature request from Hugh:

Make new long press option menu entries to add/subtract the value from the current counter to/from the other
Make a history or logging that track the activities on the counter(s).

I found the first one very interesting. I take both to my feature list.
Thanks Hugh!

New Count It version

2010-04-12T02:34:00.000-07:00

After I've added the exception handler, I've got some mails from friendly users. Thanks for that again. That helped me to figure out the problem.
So, I've implemented a platform independed CROP functionality that causes most of the crashes.
I hope, no more errors will occur.

Double Counter

2010-03-19T06:12:00.000-07:00

Count It makes it double.
The new version 1.1 of Count it supports two counter buttons. When I fixed the CROP problem in all Android versions, I will increase the button count to four. I also added a AdMob line at the bottom of the screen. I will add a Add-Free version later, if it is realy needed.
That's it.

Version 1.5.8

2010-02-14T11:12:00.000-08:00

Hi all,
I added a better support for small and large screens. Most of you will not see a different.
Cheers!

Beer Counter - Back to 1.5

2010-01-22T01:29:00.001-08:00

After I detected some people talking about "Beer Counter", that they cannot find it on the Market, because I set the minimum Android Version to 1.6, I decided to reduce the functionality of the "Beer Counter" to work with 1.5 again.
That is in detail:

* no gestures
* no text to speech

I will put that back, if mostly all phones are updated to 1.6 or higher.

Count It Multi

2010-01-12T22:01:00.000-08:00

Hi All,
Joshua, wrote a comment in Market Place on 31.12.2009 that he also wants multiple counters and he is willing to pay for that. Ok, I'm working on a multiple counter solution, but I will not put it in for money.
Instead of that, I will create a donation project that all the people can buy if they want. Another way would be an adverting version that shows ads on the bottom or top of the screen.
Comments are welcome!

Count It - update

2009-12-20T23:58:00.000-08:00

On some devices with different software versions the CROP function doesn't work and force closes.
This is fixed now and tested on a HTC Hero with HTC Sense.
Thanks to Phillip Hagerman for his testing support.
If you also have Force Closes or other bugs, please don't hesitate and write a mail.
I cannot improve the software with comments on the market.
Have nice days and count your presents.
