Hi, I was using 1.0 and since it's not updating anymore I upgraded to the latest 1.22 yesterday.
It says "address not found, please rebuild search database" when I tried to add my address either by scaning QR or typing.

And the problem remains after I rebuild search database from setting. Huh

Hi!

Yeah I stopped the service that was providing updates to the app version 1.0 as it ran on my own computer while the newer versions now fetch data from a dedicated server

Sorry for late response, I have hade a busy week and Its nearing the end of the study period in school. If it have not resolved itself yet try to uninstall the app and reinstall it again. If that does not work either I will have a closer look at it. Next update will probably include address notification if a address goes belows a specific threshold.

Thanks!

I can see what you mean with the forced landscape rotation. How would you suggest it instead? Would it be better if it started in normal portrait mode with the ability to autorotate the screen if the phone is in landscape?

yes, I'd leave it as automatic, so user can choose.
thanks!

Great! Will include a setting to choose between how it is now and rotation based on the screen orientation.

thanks very much! that's exactly what I wished for.
just a quick though: I'm not convinced of the forced landscape rotation of the screen; I'd like to switch orientation myself.
another couple of little ideas:

- add rejected share percentage
- get rid of amounts with exponent (e.g. 4.045E-4)
- add BTC/MH/s for the last hour or day

thanks again for the fine application!

These are all good suggestion. Thanks for the feedback!

Conversion to euro and a graph (just the one from coingeek is fine) would me it perfect

Euro will be in the next release. I have yet to figure out how to best implement graphs. Where should I put it in the application?

you could add a graph button on the addresses, or add it just below.
simplest way is using a webview on the graph url.

Just published a new version with graph support. Should be in the Play Store in a few hours. Would appreciate comments

Nice app, with the best interface for sure!
I think you should consider adding graphs and putting the app on the play store.
Thanks!

Thanks for the support! Trying out some sort of history for pool statistics in the database now, do not know how it will turn out yet. Will look into graphs. Good suggestion

Great work, thank you! Cheesy

Definitely the best interface. I suggested to the developer of "middlecoin watcher" that he use this standardised Android layout but he ignored, so here I am Wink

Would love to see alternative currency support (personally I'm from the UK but I do like to see *both* USD and GBP rates).

Edit: an idea to show multiple currencies without massively increasing screen space. Allow the user to select your supported currencies and display like followed:

Quote

Value ~~in USD~~ (based on current BTC price):
Coinbase Current BTC Price: $820.30 | £XXX.XX | €XXX.XX

So essentially adding a space, pipe, space then currency and value for each currency the user wishes to display. Just a thought

I also like the Android layout

That is also a very good suggestion! As you said that will conserv screen space while providing flexibility, great! Will be uploading a new version soon with some small fixes and a working pool statistic view as the one I upploaded earlier seemed to not update itself, which is fixed now in this release. Also added an option when creating a widget to disable automatic update if wanted. Small crash fix also for the settings view.

Going to sleep now here but will try to work on it tomorrow. Thanks

Hello!

In my spare time I have been working on an Android Middlecoin application, I call it Middlecoin Checker. I have posted in the Middlecoin thread but I got a great suggestion from someone that thought that it deserved an own thread so here it is. Much appreciated!

Features:
*Multiple addresses support
*Fast search for adresses by typing any part of it
*Shows Coinbase BTC Price
*Widget with multiple addresses support
*Possible to auto update the widget at set intervals, every 5 min to 2 hours.
*Low bandwith usage. Widget updates are less then 0.5kb for each address. Upon the first start of the application it will download a larger file once (a database for the search)
*Pool statistics
*Clean interface

The app will always be free, without ads.

This app should work from Android version 3.0 and up.

Would love some feedback to make the app even better for both you and me

If people are interested I might put it on the Play Store

Thanks!
