Create full html page like txt but with working links.

Can the program be made to product a full "myapps.html" webpage which can be viewed locally or shared? Currently it just provided me some garbled links...and the text mode while detailed doesn't provide links to google play etc.

You perhaps could also consider checking the google play links for a bad return code and removing the one's that are not valid when it's turned on for all apps.

Thanks for your app. I find it very useful to pass info along to other of apps I recommend.

That seems to be a popular request, to which my answer always is: what would this myapps.html look like? Some people might prefer a very plain html page, others might want CSS in there, yet others would require headers and footers. There is simply no way to provide a "one size fits all" solution that is also easy to use.

The idea here really is that LMA provides the "proto output" that you can copy&paste/share to some other piece of software (e.g. the comment form of a blog) that knows how to embed the markup in a template that will result in "myapps.html".

You perhaps could also consider checking the google play links for a bad return code and removing the one's that are not valid when it's turned on for all apps.

I would rather not want to do that for a couple of reasons:

• It requires network access permission. Many people (including myself) have privacy concerns when an app wants to talk to the rest of the world.
• Checking for a couple dozen apps via http takes a bit of time, produces a fair bit of data and might be seen as "phoning home". A lot of people don't appreciate that.
• UI wise this will end in a bit of a nightmare. Putting a "check if on Google Play" entry is simple, but you also have to somehow communicate the result back to the user. Simply unchecking apps is not really an option.

Glad you like it :).

I don't see how a barebones wrapper around the output would be complicated..just enough for local viewing and following your own links...an option could be put into settings to enable the wrapper or not...if you made a header.html and a footer.html and just referenced them people could edit them however they wanted without it affecting your program.

If I want to share my apps with friends via gmail there is currently no good way to do so..if I give them the text there are no links..if I paste in the html gmail doesn't process it as a blog post might.

That template feature is surprisingly labor intensive to implement (at least when you want to do it right). I just pushed a not quite final version to github. Have a look, play around, tell me if you manage to crash it or get wrong results.

Thanks. I compiled it and will give it a test although your project seems to be missing the libs folder with android-support-v4.jar in it. Could be something I did wrong as I'm new to git and ant.

Nope, you have to add that lib yourself. I don't check in library dependencies.

Hello, This "List my Apps" application is very useful, and fact of being opensource + available on F-Droid repository is very great. Regarding the need to get a full html page with links that could be opened in a browser, this is very easy IMHO : When we select Copy/Share as HTML list, just change only the extension to "html" instead of "txt", it will register the file correctly and works then. Ex on the screenshot, I just modified on my file manager extension to html then opened in Firefox : On the top, the txt file as saved by "List My Apps", on the bottom, the same file saved with html extension, it is well enough, name and link of the app, no need of something else, but much more usable and nice ! Thanks in advance :)

Only problem: LMA sports a template editor and is therefore agnostic to what type of text you are sharing. Since LMA has no way of telling what the template is suppose to generate, it can only share it as the general supertype which is ".txt".
