Tekken (2010)

Cast: Kelly Overton, Gary Daniels, Jon Foo

Director: Dwight H. Little

Genre: sf, fantasy, drama

I was expecting something of the level of stupidity like the Street
Fighter and Mortal Kombat movies, so I was pleasantly surprised when
the movie had a consistent script and some decent action. I was already
fantasizing about my IMDb review, saying how I was expecting crap and
found a gem.

Se estiverem a pensar ver este filme, não vejam!

Alem da desculpa que já tenho para o conduzir de 15 em 15 dias até à capital e ao estádio do campeão, vou provavelmente adquirir o suplemento ao cativo para os 3 jogos da fase de grupos da champions e ir até lá mais 3 vezes…

You can finally start contributing!

If you want to chat with me I’m available on IRC: #droidseries @ freenode

The next step will be the source code upload (to the Google Code page repository).

In this version I fixed some annoying issues and answered some feature requests. My main objective for this version and probably for the next one is to fix bugs and improve DroidSeries stability in order to have a fully working app before implementing new features. That being said, keep those bug reports coming and if possible the steps to replicate them. Logcat dumps are also very appreciated!

All the bug reports and suggestions can be made here.

Version 0.1.4 (ChangeLog)

• Added the feature (context menu option) “Seasons up to here are seen” that lets you mark all seasons up to the selected one as seen (Specials stay untouched)
• Added the feature (context menu option) “Mark all episodes as unseen” that lets you mark all episodes of the selected season as unseen
• Fixed the laggy season list when TV shows have lots of seasons
• Fixed some bugs and refactored the code in the main class (the TV shows list class/activity). This reduced the lag in the TV shows list
• Fixed a bug that was crashing the app when adding a TV show and the xml stream was null
• Fixed some more typo errors
• Fixed the Internet connectivity check
• Code refactoring

I also want to thank Steven Scott and Francisco Franco Garea for their support! Thank you very much!

Download DroidSeries 0.1.4

I created a Google Code page for the app: http://code.google.com/p/droidseries/

All the necessary information plus the apk file, DroidSeries-0.1.0.apk is available there.

If you find a bug let me know! This is the first public release and nobody besides me has tested the app so it probably has some bugs, so sorry in advance and keep those bug reports coming! Suggestions that help improve the app are also welcome and appreciated!

I’m a big TV series fan. I see lots (!) of tv shows and it’s difficult to remember what was the last episode I saw. It bothers me when I just lied down in my bed or on the sofa to watch an episode of some serie and a few minutes later I realize that  I have already seen the episode. The solution is to have a app on my phone, that is always with me, and track the tv shows that I follow.

This isn’t an original idea. Joaquim Rocha created an app for Maemo called series finale and I can say that this concept is his idea. Because I had the chance to code an Android app during my Masters, my choice was to make an app similar to series finale but for Android. This is an app that I would/will use and that was why I made it. I’m almost reaching the release of the first version of DroidSeries. I named this release “The Pilot”.

I’m currently struggling with some Bitmap memory leaks that are slowing down the app when lots of series are to be handled. Once this is done I will add the feature to update a single television serie and update all the series that the user is following and make the release.

So what is done so far? A summarized list:

• Capability to search and add a serie to the list (needs internet connection WIFI or 3G)
  • I use TheTVDB API
• All data is saved in an sqlite database (internet connection is only needed to search, when a serie is added it is saved in this database)
• Mark a episode or a season as seen/unseen
• View series or episode details
• All the small features like confirmation dialog when deleting a serie, threads and progress dialogs, information for the next unseen episode and how many episodes are not watched, etc

To give you a feel of what I’m doing, here are some screen shots:

As soon as I reach the first version I will upload it and open the code on google code and to the Android Market. http://code.google.com/p/droidseries/ or this blog will be the places to look for it.

If you have a suggestion, don’t hesitate to make it! Let me know what you are thinking and what you would like to see in DroidSeries!

If you want to beta test the application also let me know, I’ll pass one the apk file. I didn’t make it available at this point because I believe that it isn’t ready yet, but if you still want to give it a try, let me know!

I have to thank LDV for doing a good job with the header image! Thanks!

I will try to make a screen cast soon. Keep tunned!

Entreguei  o velhinho Pegeot 106 na Seat.

Actualizei o wordpress! \o/ (Saiu hoje uma actualização de segurança para o Joomla, aproveito para alertar quem tem!)

E estou neste momento a tratar de assegurar o meu cativo, entenda-se, lugar de Campeão para a época 2010/2011 no Estádio da Luz.

Não está pior, parece que vou conseguir ir de férias descansado!
