Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App

I commend you for your effort, but please take this advice....don't put anything on the market until you've had a good chance to completely test it. There are too many major problems with this app that you need to fix. Don't take the Microsoft approach and just put something out that's not working completely just to patch it later.

- The total score isn't calculated (which is the intention of the app right?). The top, middle, bottom work, but aren't summed.

- The way you're drawing things doesn't support landscape orientation. The tubes and total score end up being drawn off the screen. If you want to force the app to only be portrait, set the Activity's orientation property in the manifest.

- When the phone is rotated, the activity is restarted and the screen is cleared. To fix this, you need to update the Activity in the manifest to handle configuration change events from orientation events. You'll find a similar problem if the keyboard is opened/closed on something like a Droid. For that you need to handle keyboard and keyboardHidden events. You don't need to do anything with the events, but you need to at least have the handlers

- Your circles look hand drawn. If you're direct drawing, you should look into turning on antialiasing for your Paint object.

You have potential with this app. Keep plugging at it and make sure it's bulletproof before you put it on the market.
