What this is:
Wrote this because I hate looking at the slow website and waiting for images/useless forum text I don't read to show up. This speeds the process up a little, and provides easy access to the important parts of the site(see: the shoutbox). Works on Android 2.0+(hopefully, only tested on 2.0(emu) and 2.3.3).

Source:
https://github.com/D...box-Android-App

Download:
https://github.com/d...htsshoutbox.apk

Known Issues


I'm still working on it, but are there any features you guys would like to see? Long-clicking a shout will allow you to edit it if it is yours, it automatically refreshes on an interval you can change.

I'll be open to code suggestions tomorrow when I upload the source and everything. I write in C++/C# usually, this is the first thing I've written in Java(so I'm sure it could be optimized a little).




9-19-11: sort of haven't worked on it much because it's sort of in a satisfactory working state but I don't want to upload it until I fix login multithreading slowness(something isn't being multithreaded that should be and I've got to figure that out)(this will force me to rewrite a lot so I am sort of procrastinating), as well as possible issues with the auto-grabbing new shouts(android's repeated task system sucks and is buggy/my implementation is)

bumping this because I feel the current edition is in enough of a working state to upload to github. The settings menu doesn't work currently, I wouldn't touch any of that. The next version I upload to github is going to be redone to rely on a Service-Activity relationship where there'll be a background service grabbing new shouts, and the activity will just read from the service when it's spawned. I think this is the way to go.

Things besides that background work I plan on implementing:
Option to notify when a shout containing a string is said(defaults to your name)
settings menu actually working
smilies actually displaying properly
a few latest posts being displayed under login if your screen is large enough

Bumping, because Daman wants your login and password.
