New Release on Android Market #13

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I wanted to put a feeler out there since the original author has been 
unresponsive to my requests.

The TunesControl on the Android Market is now buggy and way out of date.  I was 
going to release a new version under my Melloware account since I can't 
overwrite the one that is in the Market.  Does anyone have any objections to 
this?  If so please voice your "YAH" or "NAY" vote here.

Names Considerations:

TunesControl2
TunesControl+
Droid Remote (since Apple's is generically Apple Remote)
DACP Remote

Any other suggestions or votes?

i would prefer TunesControl2 as it is a follower app.

I'd vote for TunesControl+ or Droid Remote.  I'm feel a name like TunesControl2 
could confuse users as to whether the 2 refers to a version number.

but droid remote lacks of the information what it is a remote tool for. could 
be anything. and somehow it is a newer version, since it is based on 
tunesremote (even it is the idea).

I am leaning towards TunesControl+ since it denotes "more" but is not 
necessarily a version number like 2.

Actually according to the App Name it is "Tunes Remote".  So it should be 
TunesRemote+.  I think somewhere along the codebase Jeff had it named 
TunesControl and changed his mind to Tunes Remote.

I'd vote Tunes Remote+ , but I think Tunes Remote 2 is also perfectly good, I 
feel this is a version 2 of the same project. To the rest of the world  not 
using Verizon Droid is confusing (also it implies a remote control for an 
android phone), the only people who know what DACP is us :)

TunesRemote+ it is then.  Do you guys fancy the icon or should we change it?  
also the new Android SDK allows for small medium and large Launcher icons based 
on DPI of the device.

36, 48, 72 pixels.  Should we scale a new icon or keep the one we have since it 
is the original?  Just throwing it out there.

I think *shrug* is my best answer :)

I'm perfectly happy with it, its not the height of aesthetics, but I think it 
gets the functionality across. Wireless remote for playing music :)

I was thinking something more like exactly the Apple REmote icon except a Green 
arrow for Google instead of the Blue Arrow.

I have forked this code and created a new Google Code project.

http://code.google.com/p/tunesremote-plus/

I have fixed the following:

- Search Result preference for max 30 items default. A search could crash your 
device if it returns too many results.
- Fixed Search query to have &index0-30 or whatever the preference is to return 
just than many results
- Fixed some of the shut down threading problems in Status class
- Removed the Updater code since it pointed to Jeff Sharkey's personal website

For an even more superior release try the free app Retune...
