Hello,
I just finished developing an application to manage the shopping list (called MiCarrito) and I'd like you to test it and provide me with some feedback.
My intention is to publish it on the marketplace (It will be free, of course), but before that I wanted to test it with hardcore users like you, guys.
With MiCarrito you can:
• Sort the shopping list by product categories to make shopping easier and faster.
• Create recipes defining lists of ingredients. Add all the ingredients in a recipe directly to the shopping list.
• Sort product categories in the list to fit the path you usually follow in the supermarket.
• Develop new products and categories, and re-assign products to a different category.
• For each product you can select the unit of measure and its price.
• For each product you can see the quantity that you bought of that same product during the last week and the last month.
• Synchronize your shopping list with your partner or a friend.
• Once in the supermarket, you can move the products from the shopping list to the shopping cart/trolley. Besides, you can set the current price and see the price it was the last time you bought it.
• As you fill the cart you will see the number of products in it and total amount of your shopping.
Localized in English, Spanish, Russian, Deutsch, Polish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, French, Danish, Chinese, Korean, Czech and Greek
It has been tested in QVGA, VGA and WVGA resolutions.
Greetings and thanks for your help.
Note: Should any of you guys want it in your own language, find the resource file also available for download. Just let me know that you can help me with the translation and we'll keep in touch.

Hi mr.First. First of all, thx for testing
Yup, I can make English the default language. I hope to have it done in 2-3 days.
While I do this, you could see it in English if you change your regional settings (I know this is not the most appropiate answer, but it's the only way to make it work for non-English PDAs while I get this fixed). Sorry for that.

Yes, I did it. Changing regional settings.
Will be waiting next version. Thank you
Hi, one question. If installed in the SD card and afterwards the PPC hardresets, does it need reinstallation? can reinstallation be avoided by restoring a settings backup file?
Hi cruiserrr. It shouldn't require reinstallation as all settings remain in the install dir.
You'll only lose file association (stored in the registry) needed for importing sync files.
Anyway, if you want to backup your data, best option is to select "synchronize with a friend" option in the menu and send export data to yourself.
This way, if you need to hard reset your PPC and reinstall application, you'll have your exported data.

Nice application.
Can it calculate prices in euro?
Thanks
Seems to be a very nice project.
What about other localizations? Is it possible that you exclude the language terms in a seperate text file for easy translation?
Btw: In your 3rd screenshot, there is "Quantity" [InputField] "und."
What does "und." mean? Don't know it

The application selects the currency that corresponds to your regional settings, although it’s only informative in that it only multiplies each quantity by the product price (it doesn’t bother about €, $, £ or any other symbol/currency) and sums them all. It only shows the symbol corresponding to your currency (the appropriate one based on your regional settings ) to let you know that that is a price and not any other number.

New version uploaded.
I also uploaded English resources in an excel file.
so if any of you feel like translating it to your own language, just send the translated file over to me Thx all for your help.
My feedback:
Very very nice looking, very finger friendly, great functionality adding recipes. No hangouts. Very good job, congrats.
Maybe performance can be improved a little (is not bad, but I think can be better).
I would put quantity as a column rather than second line.
I would facilitate access to categories & recipes
I would allow to store lists (eg. monthly shopping, fresh goods shopping, etc) and even "shops": one shop can be the actual shopping list, another shop can be the things I bring to the beach or when doing a business travel. etc
I would allow to add indiviual ingredients of recipes (maybe I do not want them all) and also let you see last time/quantity bought when deciding which ones to add.
I seem to have a problem when the program is running, when I minimize, if I press the micarrito icon the app does not come to front. I can only access with the task manager.

Many thanks for your feedback, cruiserrr.
- I will check if I can do any improvement regarding performance
- With respect to storing different lists (eg. monthly shopping, fresh goods shopping, etc) you can use recipes as a workaround and use them as predefined lists.
- I like the idea of adding only some of the ingredients in a recipe. I will try to have a new version with this functionality during this week.
- The problem you experience when you minimize is a "known" issue with the app. Will be fixed in the next version. Sorry for this one.
Thanks again for your comments and feedback.

It is automatically created when you delete a category that has products in it to avoid deleting all the products. If you want it to disappear, just assign the products to their corresponding categories or else delete those products
I think this is better so that you don't accidentally delete products inside a category. In case you feel this is not the right behaviour, just let me know your concerns about that.
Hi,
If someone can explain this to me ...
I found out that there is separation on Android Market, user from certain countries cannot purchase certain apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6046360&postcount=4
Why is that?
So, if I am in the UK, I can only purchase apps that are available ONLY for UK market?
I could not think any single reason of this kind of decision will help the customers and the developers.
Why is it not just ONE SINGLE Android Market for EVERYONE?
Well. Nobody really knows. Its very annoying. Its the same story here in Denmark. No paid apps on non-rootet phones with Market enabler.
HTC and google can not give us an answer to why or when paid apps will be availble for us.
Indeed, this is very annoying and I could not think any benefit of it.
I am just wondering, is there anything like this on iPhone? There is in WM, but I believe Microsoft decided to change that on WP7.
I hope Google will change this decission to make Android more attractive to software developers.
I suspect that the country filtering is present for several reasons.
1. Country specific applications. There is no need for an app that only applies to i.e. the UK to be displayed in Asia or in the US.
2. Copyright and trademark issues. Arrangements needs to be done in each country as laws are different.
3. Localization. I assume that Google does not want to add paid apps support in countries not yet fully localized to the local language. This was the case when Android was initially released. The G1 was released in the UK and in the US, and paid apps did not become avaliable until Android had been localized to for example German or French. Once the translations were complete, paid apps followed shortly after.
While Android is currently localized to several other languages, Norwegian included, these translations are far from complete, and needs some additional work.
Hopefully it should not take so long, but hey, who knows.
I will download the localization strings in a short while, and try to perfect them a bit more. After all, Android is open source.
Actually it does make sense for some application to be available in only one country. To give you an example, why would someone in the UK be interested in an application about traffic in Copenhagen? When a developer publishes his app he can chose to make it available for all countries or just for specific countries. Blackberry App World has something like this and I'm not 100% sure but I think the iphone also.
And what if you want go to Copenhagen?
Are free aps also separated or is it just payed ones?

Exactly! Also, I don't think copyright would have anything to do with it. AFAIK, it wouldn't matter which country you made your app available to. If it's copyrighted and you disctribute it, you're in trouble.
I can't imagine google getting involved in copyright issues for each and every app. Im pretty sure they would shift liability to the developer/provider in their terms and conditions.
Localisation exists for the following reasons.
1. Language. You can make 1 app that supports all languages, but if there is a lot of text this would cause the app to bloat with unnecessary stuff. simpler to make apps for each language/region.
2. Localisation. The dev may decide there is no point in his app being available outside his particular locale. The first App i noticed this with was to do with the American Presidential elections. Of course I can still see a lot of US specific Transport Apps here in the UK, because the dev has decided it would be worthwile people from other regions having them (holidaymakers for instance).
3. Payment. If you set up an app for worldwide distribution it is priced in your own local currency. If you price an App for a specific region it is priced in that regions currency. This means the price of an app will not fluctuate with exchange rates, which may make people more likely to buy.
I live in Denmark, and as i understand it, the reason why we cannot have the payed apps here are because Google and the telephone companies have not agreed about how the payment modells are to work.
-They both want to big a cut of the cake.
Heh, the funny thing is that Google owns Admob, and their own Adwords service. They essentially makes a lot of money regardless of whether the developer chooses to support it through ads or through direct sales.
I stumbled across this website last night which lists (what looks like) every app on the Android marketplace, along with a QR Code (3D Barcode).
http :// www . cyrket . com
Could this be a workaround to be able to get hold of applications not available in certain countries? It's just that I can't help but notice japanese titles on there with a Yen price next to them.
I've just ordered my Desire today, but have been trying to find out which apps are available - I'm a little annoyed you can't just browse them on the android marketplace website!
Usually the QR code is just for a marketplace search, if it isn't available in your location or phone then you still can't download it.
The only way to bypass this is direct purchase from the developer or downloading the apk to install with an apkinstaller.
Then why there is not any alternative market?
You know, just a website which developer can submit their app there ... accessible via special app from the phone ... do the transaction via web
Like download.com Or cydia for the iPhone?
Microsoft will do it (single unified app market place) with WP7, why not Google? Strange ...
Ah I see, bugger... That's a shame.
Surely it's down to the developer to make it a global rather than a regional app on publishing to the marketplace?
People are always in a hurry to get somewhere. A common issue is to inform someone waiting for us that we are, let’s say, a bit late and maybe reassure him that we will be there in some time. It would be great if we could send a message to that someone telling him our approximate location and an estimate time to reach the destination ( maybe along with some excuses )
Sorry I'M Late was developed to achieve this task. This application allows a user to get his aproximate location and then send it to someone else though an SMS. While the idea itself is not new, my objective was in the first instance to create a User Interface as easy and friendly i could, secondly I wanted to exploit CellID localization instead of GPS. The last thing i wanted to do was to provide a more human readable message to be sent: most of the application i've tested, use GPS positioning to get a precise localization but then they send Latitude and Longitude coordinates or Google Maps links and usually when i want to tell someone where i am, i use street names instead of coordinates
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[17/07/2010] Today I've released the new version of Sorry I'M Late with some new additions and fixes (thanks for all your hints and suggestions). Following is the updated feature list, along with the changelog (for more technical stuff).
[18/07/2010] Released 1.5.1 version. I forgot to add compression to the network calls o) so this is basically just a patch release
Some features:
Doesn't require GPS antenna
Finger friendly UI thanks to SenseSDK from Steady Software
Call history access to guess the most probable recipients
Native SMS application used to send message to allow last minute changes
Currently localized in 12 different languages (English, Italian, Czech, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Portoguese, Russian, Dutch, Swedish and Japanese) *new v 1.5*
Support for custom messages via template *new v 1.5*
Reduced network bandwidth usage *new v 1.5.1*
Requirements:
.NET Compact Framework 3.5 required
data connection is used to retrieve street names so be aware of this before you start the application
Changelog:
1.5.1
- added compression support on network calls to reduce bandwidth usage
1.5
- added internationalization resources (12 languages support)
- improved position approximation, now integrated with landmarks from Wikipedia
- moved localization algorithms to a remote server to reduce network calls and CPU load
- added icons
- new option menu
- added option to append a link pointing to the location on Google Maps
- added option to create a template message to be used instead of default one
- fixed single line help on main screen (at least i hope so )
1.0
- first public release
Notes:
Currently the remote server is located on a free host. Usually it's fast an reliable but network problems can occour
In order to display the new application icon on the Start Menu, a soft reset may be required
As you may have noticed, there is a new "Twitter" option available but it's disabled. I'm thinking whether include it or not in a future release.

Lol, I saw the tittle and thought this was an (AI) app that generates intelligent excuses given some contextual information
Anyway, great app.
Installed, but can't find icon. I also installed to SD card? Thanks
EDIT: ok I'm running it from the sorryimlate.exe file in file browser. Works, don't understand the contact selection just yet. It seems like from call history. Pretty neat so far. Thanks.

You're right! Actually the contact list is populated with numbers fetched from the call history. it is a very simple algorithm that group the caller IDs and count them, then the list is ordered from the most called to the less. the idea is that if you need to send someone a message to say you're late, it is very likely that it is a person you call or receive calls from. you're still able to pick a contact from the address book however, selecting the first option and then searching for it just before sending the actual SMS.
As ai said, for now it is a very simple algorithm, maybe in the next release i'll try to refine it a bit, for example considering also the date of the calls.
Cool little app ;-)
It would bee even better if it was possible to choose more then one contact from the list.
And there is missing a dot at the end of the message.
Thanks for the suggestion i think that this will definitely come with the next release.
Maybe set an own default message? So I can set in my own language.
first of all.. this is a wonderful idea.. and i'm glad to see the sense interface once again.. but for some reason whenever i run the application it disconnects me from the network and starts looking up a signal. after it finds one and i click "find it", it disconnects me from the network once more...
when i try choosing from the contact list the app crashes..
hmm

yes, you can expect that on the next release
oh and by the way, for now there are only English and Italian as available languages, but if someone have a little time to translate the strings in other lenguages i will surely appreciate that.

the fact it disconnect is actually a desired behavior. When the application boots up it forces a network deregistration and then reconnects in the hope to associate with another GSM tower and thus have two distinct point used to approximate the position instead of just one.
speaking about the crash, can you tell me please the exact steps you perform before the problem shows ?
Really great app, works flawlessly on my TouchPro. Thanks !!
I would really like to see this on WP7 as well
how to do translation in txt file?
i've attached to the first post a txt file containing some xml tags. you just need to translate the strings inside <Value></Value> tags.
Thanks a lot
It sounds very interesting, because a all the time stop and go traffic here in our country, this app can help out .. possible.
Polish translation
Hi,
here is my Polish translation of the strings.txt for this interresting app
View attachment strings.txt
Attached spanish translation text.
Thanks to claus1953 and Jack_Surfer for translations, i will include them in the next release (due to next week, so stay tuned )
Czech translation
Hi Stefano.
Very useful app! Thanks for it.
I'm sending Czech translation. Please send me message in case of further releases and new strings for translating.
Regards
Pavel
And here the 1st ducth translation. Possible some changings to do, because i have made the translation before i have used the app.
Ciao Ste !
Nice app and very useful !
Here my french translation.
I had a few bugs :
- In the help, the description box, is only on 1 line. Not multi-lines like you show it in the screenshot.
- Is it possible to add a "." after the location ? (at the end of the sentence)
Ex. : "Hi! I'm around xda forum. I'll be there in 15 minutes.
- Can you add the localisation name (the city name) after the address ?
- Where is located the language file ? Is it possible to make a function that will check a language folder insted of including it in a .cab file ? (should be easier for all translaters)
I tell you back that's a nice app.
Bravo, bel lavoro. Quand'è che fai la version 1.5 ???
thx
hey!thx a lot! it is a great idear!
what wouldbe great: a map link in the sms, so the receiver have only to click on the link zo see my position on Google maps.
possibility to send a email
thx one more time, its great!
Hi guys,
I want to introduce you a new free software for WM called Online RadioX.
It is very important to know your opinion about this application. Please, test the program in your devices and tell us about bugs, lacks e.t.c.
Superb!
It's superb dude. I like the graphics too. How do I add stations?
Installed on my home brewed Topaz.
ps. I like your Online Tvx too. But not free.
No channel for my country, Malaysia.
Thanks, unfortunately you can't add stations directly in application.
If you want to add a station, please, complete new channel report form
...
quickly tested it before my battery goes dead
*delete .lnk from program files folder = not needed because a .lnk is in the start menu folder
* i think radiox has a problem with s2u2 auto lock.
#this registry string will add your app to the exceptions list.
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2\Exceptions\"ExceptionEXE99"="radiox.exe")
if i like it ill add it to my rom
thanks
Rn
thanks in advance raving_nanza.
What is your device?
np dude,
using blackstone/touch hd
*is there a way we can make our own skins for your app?
thanks
Rn
theoretically possible to make custom skins, I'll consult with the developers
What features do you want to be added in this application?

Please download latest version from official website: http://www.onlineradiox.com
a database updater (don't need to install again whenever updated),
a language selector/indicator (can filter using default language of the radio),
and probably a ontime filter/indicator OR malfunction feedback button (lots of radio station return error, probably due to ontime of the station/the link is just broken)
hmm, and probably a suggestion link sender ( To send link of radio station of my recommendation to developer -- most of the time we only know the website, but have no idea how to extract the streaming link)
Going to the more advance and fancy side, putting a Globe/Global map where we can zoom into and let us filter content by region.
Enable background streaming and playing .... we seldom just listen and do nothing else, and probably schedule streaming recording (some of the radio show that we wish to listen but the timing is no good for some people on others side of the globe/on work)
that's all i can thought of from first run, actually this run quite heavy on ram (eat 25MB of ram when running ... probably some fat trimming as well)
