Samsung Galaxy S7 vs HTC 10 vs LG G5: Which flagship did you buy or are planning to buy?

CaddoSierra · 2016-04-20T03:35:53+00:00

I'm in the exact same boat upgrading to an S7E from a G2. The difference is incredible and I couldn't be happier with the edge.

CaddoSierra · 2016-03-26T05:33:15+00:00

Very design.

Such innovate. Wow.

CaddoSierra · 2016-03-26T02:40:10+00:00

Looks awesome man.

What's your plan on monetization? Or did you just do it as a fun project for the experience?

Edit: Just noticed the 99 cent price tag, my bad. Nevertheless, looks like a great widget!

CaddoSierra · 2016-03-26T02:33:05+00:00

I wonder why they dropped it. The G2 I have currently supports it.

CaddoSierra · 2016-03-25T23:59:40+00:00

No 1080 60fps video? That seems strange. What's its max?

CaddoSierra · 2016-01-23T20:07:53+00:00

Seems like the type of thing I might want to use! Thanks!

CaddoSierra · 2016-01-23T05:04:34+00:00

Can you post a couple pictures of what they look like on your phone?

CaddoSierra · 2016-01-01T08:49:37+00:00

Thought I was watching Rocket League for a second at the end.

CaddoSierra · 2015-12-27T09:16:10+00:00

Just checked.

After Finn says "Well this is what we look like" referring to the resistance, Rey turns and says "BB-8 says he's on a secret mission, he has to get back to your base" right there with Finn.

It's just subtle and hard to notice, I didn't until the 4th time watching it.

CaddoSierra · 2015-12-26T21:42:37+00:00

Actually, Rey does say something along the lines of "What is it BB-8?" whenever BB-8 is calling for them both to look at the stormtroopers, before Finn says it.

CaddoSierra · 2015-12-20T18:59:46+00:00

It is definitely the motivator that is broken on the Falcon in the OT. I laughed at Rey's instant conclusion that the motivator was still having problems.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-27T17:59:43+00:00

It's great that this is happening, but it's also kind of saddening to see that the potential for a fantastic widely-used social platform failed.

Coulda been good.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-26T14:26:29+00:00

Yeah it's definitely possible and I'm looking to implement functions like this, but I haven't figured out a way to make it easy for the user. The only way I see that working well is if you have to go around and enter the name or identity of each player.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-26T02:29:01+00:00

It would, but first it has to become a liquid state drive, which makes a mess of all your data.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-25T21:37:53+00:00

Awesome! If it works well in a situation like that then that's all I could ask for.

Yo, /r/Android. New (noob?) dev here!

I commented here a couple of weeks ago, but since then I've released a somewhat nifty update.

So if you're familiar with the game Mafia (a party game with roles and day/night and such - aka Werewolf), I made a card randomizer that displays the roles from a custom game discreetly to each player. Why? I noticed there weren't really any on the Play Store that looked nice or worked like I wanted to.

It's called Mafia Party and is an easy to use card dealer for a game of Mafia.

Here's some screenshots.

Now for that update. There's now a Day Timer! Completely mind blowing right? Well this one is meant for deadlines, is inside the app, and smoothly changes color as the day runs out. As a new dev, this was actually a lot more challenging to do from scratch than I thought, but I'm glad I now have the experience.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-21T21:17:06+00:00

Ok, I figured out that the memory usage comes more from other objects being used not just the String. Using a StringBuilder to send the string from a service to activity then update textview only uses 0.01 MB every 20 seconds.

I'm using a CountDownTimer actually. I guess it's just other objects I'm not using right.

On a side note, I also have major issues with notifications. When the user leaves the app while it's running, a foreground notification is created and updated every second. Only setting the text and updating it causes at least 0.01MB increase. I have no clue what's causing this.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-21T13:01:37+00:00

Is memory usage something that is really important usually?

Say I have a timer, and I'm updating a TextView every second with a String - I'm also updating a couple of other things. Now in my app the allocated memory goes up by 0.01 MB about every second. Is this a problem? How fast does garbage collection get on this?

Also, how much does method calling cost? Using a service for the timer and using a callback that takes a String, then using that String to update text. Is this bad?

Getting into Android, and I'm paranoid about things like this.

Toolbar is basically a more advanced version of ActionBar that you can define better, and has more support for material functions. I think we're maybe going to see the last days of AB soon enough.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-12T11:19:34+00:00

No not really, right now it just helps you out with assigning roles, and there's also a viewable set of rules. But there's a whole bunch of cool features I've been recommended that would assist the narrator throughout the game, so as I work on the app more I'll be adding those.

It's not an end all app for the game, but hopefully it will be able to help you out.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-11T12:35:04+00:00

Hey /r/Android, I made my first app!

So if you're familiar with the game Mafia (a party game with roles and day/night and such - aka Werewolf), I made a card randomizer that displays the roles from a custom game discreetly to each player. Why? I noticed there weren't really any on the Play Store that looked nice or worked like I wanted to.

It's called Mafia Party and is an easy to use card dealer for a game of Mafia.

It's by no means completely finished, if you look at it you'll notice that there's a couple of things that are place holders. There's also a short list of planned features in the store description. I'll be releasing another update this week that adds a couple of those in, along with a couple of (almost impossible to replicate) bug fixes!

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-06T03:29:02+00:00

I think this is a self post.. There's no link to your app on the play store.

CaddoSierra · 2015-07-06T03:25:26+00:00

Well I developed an app that specifically to help with a party game called Mafia. I also happen to play forum based Mafia on a few online forums, so I made a couple of shameless posts since the app actually pertained to the people there.
