Everyone,
Thanks for the reports. Here are some updates for the Android app in the
market:
1. The PIN and current entry bugs are fixed. Sorry about the new bugs.
2. Screen rotation for the first two tabs are disabled for now because
horizontal screens are getting too crowded on phones. I'm working on a new
custom horizontal layout. Rotation will be enabled soon.
3. A new 4x1 home screen widget has been added to the latest version.
Please note that it will only show up in the add widgets list when the app
is installed inside phone memory (not SD card). This seems to be an Android
restriction.
4. The widget is highly experimental and will be improved over upcoming
updates. The way the app works now is that it closes the server TCP
connection when it goes to background. As such, the widget's data can
refresh only when the main app is opened. While I want to keep the TCP
shutdown behavior, in the next version, at least the parking meter will
remain live all the time.
5. The app has been over 5MB in size for some time. 90%+ of that goes to
the very nice car layout graphics (one for each roadster color). As a low
priority task, I'm going to make the app download the car images the first
time you use them. This will make app updates speedy and conserve some
bandwidth for limited data plans.
Michael, can you check the TCP log in the Android app to see if SMS,IP is
sent after you tap commit? And when you tap refresh, does SMS,IP show up in
the TCP log, under [RX] prefix? Thanks.
Sonny
