android app with recipes


trakos

Recommended Posts

Hey,

I've recently made for fun a small app for android with all tekkit recipes and thought that maybe someone will find it useful, so I've devided to release it :).

So, in case anyone's interested, here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.trakos.TekkitRecipeList

The recipes are automatically generated from NEI data, so the list is complete, but there could be few bugs somewhere. So far I've only noticed few problems with forge microblocks, but those aren't important.

I've had a hard time choosing how much columns to display based on resolution width, and apparently it doesn't work ;).

 

Would it work if I add an option to choose how much recipes to show in a row (seperate for landscape and for portrait mode)?

Well, I wouldn't say it doesn't work.  :-)  Just not optimized for tablets. If you are up for further challenges, have at it! I would try it out on a phone but I do not have an Android phone (sadly.)  :-(  I am not familiar with the Android SDK but I would imagine that there is some sort of template that can be invoked for phones versus tablets?  (Just a guess.)  Then again, i do not know what the source graphics are like. Are they pixel-by-pixel static images? If so, you probably can't resize them and still have it look good. Also, the Nexus 10 has a very high resolution screen. So that could have something to do with it not scaling well. Just by eye-ing it, I would say that each crafting screen should be at least twice the size to be comfortable for a Nexus 10 user. (Comfortable for me, at least.  ;-) )Not sure how that translates to presentation or to other devices. Right now, in portrait orientation, I get 4 recipes across. In Landscape, I get 6. They are readable but not quite actionable.

Hey, that's great!  It is very easy to use and the images look good. The only other suggestion I would make is ditching the prompt to tap again to see further recipes. Or, at least relocate it. When i tap on an ingredient, the message comes up at the bottom of the screen and I do not see it. I didn't notice it when i first tried the program. Thanks again!
