trakos Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 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. weirdbeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdbeard Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Great little app, thanks! I presume it is intended for phones only? I run it on my Google Nexus 10 (tablet) and the graphics are really small. It is difficult to tap on an ingredient to get the related recipe. Still, nice work!

trakos Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdbeard Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 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. trakos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trakos Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks for feedback! I've uploaded a new version with an option in actionbar to adjust column count, and I've defaulted it to one. So, try updating it and see if it's better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdbeard Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 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!
