FRC Forum Android App

in Forum Stuff
I wrote an android app for browsing the forum. It's read only right now due to API issues, but I'm going to try to find a way around that. If you want to try it the download is here

Any feedback is appreciated.

    Is it really that much better than the mobile web version?

    It will be once I finish the tablet interface, to be perfectly honest I only really did it because I was bored.
    It also does make the Random Gif thread viewable on mobile because it turns image embeds into links.

    I never seemed to have this problem on any device. Also, people gotta stop making bad animated gifa. At least upload to imgur, and they will gifv it for you.

    I never had Chrome for Android crash. It just took a while.

    Awesome work.

    When I click a forum thread on my phone, it's pretty much guaranteed that the page hasn't finished loading. Then it finishes, and only later registers my tap, taking me to a thread several rows up. All things considered it won't get me to use an app vs my browser, but good on you for creating an app.
  • SuperPichuSuperPichu
    I have now rewritten the entire UI backend.

    That loading screen is going to become super annoying lol.
    Just need a hamburger menu to login or get it so the login details can be stored by the app so that posts can be made (unless the API doesn't allow for that).

    What about the loading screen is annoying? No the API doesn't allow login at all....

    Probably just a user interface thing but when I'm waiting for something to load I don't usually set a program to have a very large portion of the screen animated, it seems distracting. Maybe it got stuck loading because I was on the train when I first tried it out.

    I guess I can read stuff while standing in the train if I can't write, it's better than nothing.

    I'd rather have the loading screen from a "is this loading or frozen?" sort of standpoint. The animation was just because I thought it was funny. I fixed the loading screen not disappearing sometimes. The new build is uploading to Google now.

    I'm also going to look into trying to backdoor my way into being able to login and post. We'll see.
