Using the NotificationManager class?

Chet · November 18th, 2009, 10:52 PM

OK, I finally got back and sent it out. I think I got everyone to this point.
About 20 beta testers.

Haven't worked on the GUI yet, but it works.

aaron44 · November 18th, 2009, 10:54 PM

Good job!
I've been following this thread for some time now. Glad to see a solution. I would love to test this app. Thanks.

Nickles · November 18th, 2009, 10:56 PM

nice. slip a paypal account link on your sig so people can donate to you. polish up a GUI and put it on the market, and you'd be the pioneer of the LED Light!

colnago · November 18th, 2009, 10:58 PM

Good lookin out Chet.

gthrift · November 18th, 2009, 10:59 PM

Nice work. I would like to make one suggestion once you get everything working. Make a widget kind of like GPS OnOff and WiFi OnOff where all you do is click the icon and it turns the LED on.

~~-Myk-~~ · November 18th, 2009, 11:07 PM

Im getting a parse error when I hit the preview button. It goes to install then errors out.
I have unknown sources checked

You can't install from the gmail app. Go to gmail in your browser and it will work fine.

JediJesus · November 18th, 2009, 11:20 PM

Everything works great for me. Turns off and on just fine. This is a great app and definitely an app I would buy.

Branndon · November 18th, 2009, 11:20 PM

Agree, works perfect!

4lph4num3r1c · November 18th, 2009, 11:20 PM

For the Droid at least.

But definately put your name on it...and an "On at open" option, along with a selectable auto turn off, and Morse code translator, a la Pocket Light.

Again, good lookin out Chet.

I'm checking everything and have sent to everyone that has requested so far... I don't see anything from you.

Send me a Private Message through the forum.

~~-Myk-~~ · November 18th, 2009, 11:27 PM

Works great, turns on and off with no issues. Installed fine once as well.

I just blinded my wife with it.

allen2288 · November 18th, 2009, 11:28 PM

A few quirks I have noticed and sent a reply to your email about.

(1) When the light is in the "On" mode, the screen switches to full brightness, but display timeout still exists.

(2) Turn the light "On", then open the camera app. With the flash on Auto or On, depress the camera button halfway to focus. The light will get brighter, then turn off... when you return to the light application, it still registers as being "On", but it is not on.

(3) Light will automatically turn on if the orientation is changed... even if the phone is sleeping. [edit] but only if the app has focus. [/edit]

All in all, a great app... thanks for developing.

xQuestx · November 18th, 2009, 11:32 PM

I'd like to try the app also, xQuestx3atgmail.com

prerunnerseth · November 18th, 2009, 11:37 PM

Works great for me too! Thanks!

Just sent it again. The 1st message never went through to you. Sorry. Sent it from me DROID when I were waiting for me car stereo to be fixed.

aaron44 · November 18th, 2009, 11:46 PM

yeah same here, not sure if pms are working. Chet can you send me the app too? or possibly someone else who already has it?

I thought I was the only one who said "Hey honey, look!"

tassadar898 · November 18th, 2009, 11:50 PM

i'd like to try too trinity5050@fastmail.fm

gcroberson · November 18th, 2009, 11:52 PM

Would love to try it. gcroberson89@gmail.com Thank you for your hard work! I tried a couple programming classes in college...I wanted to understand it but I just couldn't get it haha.

Oh and please send your paypal for a donation as well.

RoyMustang · November 18th, 2009, 11:53 PM

Just tested it. Great job chet! Many thanks, if you were to set up a paypal I would gladly give you a little something for the effort. One thing I did notice was the screen goes to max brightness when the led is on. Not harping on ya, just figured you would like some feedback. Thanks again!

allen2288 · November 19th, 2009, 12:00 AM

I have found that as well. I did some testing and found out that the camera does that too when the flash is on. That actually seems to be a quirk of the flash_mode_on property.

Chet · November 19th, 2009, 12:11 AM

Wow! I am amazed by the interest and support. For those of you who requested I have setup a PayPal Donate link:

or there is now a Donate button on this site:

Thanks!

aaron44 · November 19th, 2009, 12:19 AM

I'm trying to decide what I want to do moving forward. The individual requests are starting to be unmanageable, but haven't decided if I want to go through the official market or not.

I will post something once I make a decision.

A big thanks to Scott and Thomas for making the first donations!

aaron44 · November 19th, 2009, 12:35 AM

ehh :/ i asked 2 minutes after you sent out the emails.

feeling nice?

aaron44@gmail.com

JediJesus · November 19th, 2009, 12:38 AM

If I was you I would put the app on the market. The price I donated was the price I thought it was worth and I dont see you having any trouble selling it at the price. Im new to android but I would think the market would be where most of the devs are getting their money. Good luck and great app.
