I tried the app for the first time today. My phone language is German and my timezone MESZ (which is UTC+2). I looked into the wallet data file in the app directory with Root explorer and found the date format that is saved. Sat Aug 06 13:22:09 MESZ 2011 is an example.

Also it seems that the force close might be triggered every time the app tries to load this file. I noticed that an initial update isn't necessary to get a fc. Restarting the app after importing the addresses has the same effect.

Yes it's definitely related to the way I store the date in the file, I was already planning on changing it to a unix datetime this weekend based on the a few bug reports from 3 Aug (identical to yours) so it should solve the issue. When I set my timezone/language to German/+2 GMT I could replicate the FC as well. Thanks again for the detailed report.

Edit: in my defence, arguably this is a bug in Java Date... I was assuming that date.equals(new Date( date.toString() ) ); but obviously not...

I've got a problem with the app. In detail:
I exported the public keys and imported them via sdcard into the app. Next I pressed update. I think I saw the correct balance for a second. After that - force close.
Now it's instantly force closing every time I try to open the app.

I'm using Android 2.1. Also I changed the currency to EUR after the first start (and before loading the keys).
You can PM me if you need any additional details.

Thanks for your post! Can you send the bug report to Google if it gives you the option? - then I get the stack trace then and it should tell me exactly what the problem is. I'm going to be relasing a new version on Sunday so I'll try and get the fix in before then. I know of some issues related to invalid Date Formats - so you could try deleting the app configuration (settings->applications->manage applications->wallet balance->Clear Data) and see if that makes a difference?

After clearing the data the app can be started again. But the wallet is gone and the key file has to be imported again. After the update the app fcs again.
I've send the bug report.

Thanks - I got the bug report - it seems to be the same issue I saw on the morning of 3 Aug (was that you?) which is related to something to do with date parsing... I think the issue might be the date format you are using - might I ask which language your phone is set to...? I'll make some fixes to the app this weekend and it should solve the issue anyway. Until then please accept my apologies for the problems and thanks for submitting the bug report.

Just pushed 1.3.0 to the Android Market!

New Features:
* Now displays your balance in a fiat currency of your choice (data feed courtesy of the fine folks at bitcoincharts.com)
* Widget on homescreen now displays total balance of your linked wallets
* Can now import from the output of many other tools such as pywallet.py - making it even easier to load your public address keys into your phone!

Remember, Bitcoin Wallet Balance does not need your private keys, but links a live feed of your wallet to your phone - no need to download the block chain either!

Please read the FAQ or the Quick Start Guide.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements, or if you encounter any issues.

Just a brief update - I'm hoping to have some time soon (probably next weekend) to add some enhancements to the app- in the meantime please add any suggestions to the issues list here and I'll try and implement as many of them as I can. The next things I'll probably be adding are live exchange data (display your balance in e.g. USD or EUR), finishing off the widget for your homescreen, and a graph of your wallet balance over time, unless people want other features.

Thanks to whomever sent (the one and only!) crash report I've seen so far for the app... If you could PM me that would be cool because I'd like to try and work out why the transactions it's looking for don't exist - do you have generation transactions in your wallet?

This has nothing to do with your program, but I was having trouble importing my keys, and it turned out, out of the 1100 addresses, 6 or 7 were not actually valid addresses. I'm slightly worried they will be used by my client in the future! Anyway, thanks for the help and the awesome program!

I've just pushed version 1.2.0 to the Android Market. It now allows you to view transaction history for each of your wallets. Let me know if you have any feedback!

That worked brilliantly! Thank you so very much!!! (And sorry for bothering you with such a stupid problem!)

No problem! I've updated the FAQ to reflect this issue.

I'm hoping to have some time to work on the app today, I'll try and add some features people have been requesting. Now that there are two separate android bitcoin clients that are able to create and manage their own wallets, I'm going to concentrate on adding value to being able to monitor the transactions/status of you main wallet so you keep it offline unless you absolutely need to send bitcoins using your private keys - e.g. for managing a savings account where you don't want to expose your private keys.

It might just be that I suck with the command prompt and know jack shit about using it. When I ran the program from cmd.exe and right clicked to "select all" and copy, it only gave me 298, and it also only let me scroll up 298. But if your program truly does catch all of them, then I just need to know how to tell it to print it's output into a text file. Is there a way to do that? I tried the >> /s [file] following it and that didn't work, and that's about the extent of my knowledge of command prompt.

run:

./decode > keys.txt

then copy the keys.txt file to your sdcard on your phone, and you should be able to import them.

I know it's dumb, but I made my wallet keep 1000 addresses in stead of the normal 100, and your decode tool only displays the first 300 or so. Any way you could make it show up to 1100.. Huh

this is strange, it should be exporting them all. When you import the 300 keys into the android wallet, does it display your balance correctly?

Any chance you could pull Mt Gox data and display bitcoin net worth in bitcoins and USD as a widget?

Major update to the App!

New features include:

- Multiple wallet support!
- Ability to import from the SD card, as well as from a URL
- Better handling of large address lists, the app now only has to check blockexplorer for transactions that contain your addresses (you can manually override this behavior).

I also compiled the decoder for linux x86, you can find it on the downloads page, along with the existing win32 binary. Unfortunately, until the ability to export addresses is added to the main bitcoin client, you still have to extract the keys using the decoder.

Since this is a major new release, I've placed the app on the Android Market - you can find it here.

Let me know what you think!
