Wow, Chip, who would have imagined?? I installed the medium-sized widget and it seems to be working fine. The only issue I have is that it's a bit difficult to read the text on the far left--not quite enough contrast between text and background. Other than that or looks great!

Penny had the same concern.  I will work on it.  Thanks.

Oh yeah,  after you bring up the full quote (touch on medium size) try the menu key.  It will bring up more options.

Chip -- Can we link this to the Tract Association's web page?  I'll need to reactivate my Android, though... It was hiding for weeks.

Christine:

Is thee asking me how the "Mind the Heavenly Treasure" link for the TAF site is going?  If so, I am actually working on that now  (and running into some glitchs).

 

If thee is asking about distributing the QuakerApp on the TAF site, that should be fairly easy.  But there are a few things to keep in mind in that regard.  The first is that we are still in the testing phase.  If TAF wants to distribute software, they would probably prefer to have it fully tested.  Also, I fully intend to publish this on the standard Android Marketplace.  So a TAF publication would be somewhat redundant.  Finally, to use an app that is not distributed through the standard market place requires the user to change a specific setting on their phone.  For some this is a security concern.  Even with these concerns, it is not uncommon to distribute outside of the standard market place.  If this is what thee is really asking, then I would be easy with it.

But I might have completely misread thy question.  Let me know.

Chip

I have used the larger version of the widget, which displayed the quote. I enjoyed reading the sayings each day. I then re-sized the widget to the smaller icon, which you have to open to read. I actually like it better because you get the saying plus another supporting saying.

The only issue I had was the contrast in the upper left corner on the larger widget. Using the smaller widget, the contrast is better.

Thank you

Jon: Thanks for trying this app.  Martin also pointed out the contrast in the upper left corner.  My plan is to fix that and then publish on the Android market place (now called the "Play Store").  But I have been snowed under with the Spring garden, projects at work and some responsibilties in my Meeting.  Hope to get to it soon.

I have this app and enjoy it very much. Thank you so much for creating it. Also, I have had no issues or difficulty with it.

Nancy: Unfortunately the QuakerApp is only available on Android phones and it is not likely to be published for the iPhone any time soon.     To program on the Apple's IOS (iPhone) requires the ownership of a Apple Macintosh.   Not to denigrate Apple's fine products, but I simply don't have a Macintosh and don't have a reason to purchase one other than programming the iPhone.  I would also need to learn both the C# programming language and Apple's IOS.  That would be most interesting but would be time consuming and is not high on my list of things I wish to accomplish right now.  Perhaps someday.
