As for iOS, I hadn't even given it a thought. Primarily I focus on Android development, but have done some work on iOS and BB. Since the OP specified Android I figured why not give it a shot. I do mobile development freelance as my day job and while this one has been fun to put together in a short time, its really served as a (fun) distraction from finding my next project. An iOS equivalent would take considerably more time and that's something I can't afford to do right now.

Excuse my ignorance, but perhaps a webapp would be easier to develop and could still be used on an iPhone and a PC?

Thanks for the reply Nefario. In that case I'll continue with the features I have in progress and not worry about the performance for now.

This is quite possibly part of the reason GLBSE is creeping :p

But seriously this is awesome, once the API has been separated from the current system so the load isn't so great this will really fly.

I guess it can't hurt to ask. I'll send a PM and see what he thinks.

Perhaps you could work with Nefario to get a separate feed with more than just the public data available and improved speed. I for one would love to see an app with more statistics than are currently available on the GLBSE.

Are you planning to release an iOS version as well? With no actual trading capability, this should be accepted into the App Store.

No worries.

I have data persistance just about finished, but it only mostly helps with the slow response times. I've also added a new tablet layout screen which acts like the official gmail app to better present the data. Should have an updated package up by tomorrow.

Great!

Works wery well also on quite little screens (2,8").
Only thing I'd point out is that the numbers on the vertical scale of graphs overlap, due to the limited height.

GLBSE response time is incredibly slow.

No kidding!

Looks great so far!

For anyone who wants to try it out, here is an install package. Please remember this is still far from release quality. I've tested it on an ICS tablet and several different phones.

Known issues

Only public GLBSE data is shown.
Data is not persistant. Device rotation and app reloads cause a fresh data poll.
Manual refresh button is not implemented yet.
GLBSE response time is incredibly slow. Data persistance will help this.
Some stats (Averages, Volumes, etc.) are not being displayed yet. I have them stubbed into a layout, but nothing that works on all screen sizes.
No widgets
No alerts/notifications

Download Link
Install from Google Play

Let me know what you think. Suggestions, comments, issues, etc. If I have some time tomorrow I'll work on expanding the functionality.

Thanks.

Thanks. I had a little time yesterday and was able to throw together a details display and pull the depth data. Still rough, but it's a start. I have an install package I was going to put up last night, but when I tested it on my 2.2 smartphone the refresh cycle went haywire. As soon as I get that straightened out I'll put up an apk.

Just for the record, I've never really used GLBSE before but I do a lot of Android development.

I took a quick look at the API they provide, but it (or their documentation) appears to be severely lacking. The only options they list is a twitter stream of all trades, which I really don't want to parse through, and market data for a single ticker at /api/asset/TICKER. With a little digging I was able to come up with an undocumented feed at /api/market/assets which lists all available tickers, but nothing more. With the average response time of their site, what I really need is a feed of all tickers and their stats. If anyone finds one like this please let me know.

In the meantime I threw together a small sample in a couple hours to see how it would look using the data I can get to easily. I also have 24 hour and 5 day numbers pulling, but not displaying in the listview. I still need a details layout to provide a tablet display.

Thats looking good

Seems there is a demand for it if someone wants to claim the glory of the first glbse android app

What would people be looking for other than a mobile interface?

The basic app would let you watch your securities. Perhaps each security has a button and you can move the ones you own into a "watch basket"

Take a look at Stock Alert, I have the tablet edition. Something like that would really be cool. It also combines some exchange data with the stock info. I guess it depends what GLBSE will give you access to through the API. Unless you scrape the data.

Still fairly new to GLBSE, wondering if there is a nice way to keep up with your portfolio/buy/sells in an android app?

+1

Even without the possibility to buy or sell, that may be dangerous and thus force a really careful development, would still be real nice just something to follow your investments, and be sure you aren't missing anything important.

Maybe the best solution would be simply to allow to "watch" a security via email alert on some price events; I would put them in their own folder and they would make (also) an efficient mobile notification without the need of an actual new app.
