FA watcher app for android
13 years ago
Aaah, lazyness, how it delays things. XD
Wanted to make a few tiny changes to the thing before I posted a journal here, but meh, they're making changes to FA, so the time to strike is nigh! Even if I am all the way across the country traveling on business.
SO! Announcing the FA watcher app for android. Woo, *fanfare*, whatever. You can get it here. Free! Download, install, add your accounts, and make sure you tap the "settings" next to your message counts to configure what makes it trigger.
I was going to put it on the android market before I released it, but I think this will have to do. Perhaps a lot of screaming people will motivate me to improve it. And hey, if no one cares, then I won't have wasted my time! :D
What does it do?
Watches your FA account (or accounts, if you have more than one) and makes some sort of notification when you get new messages. You can set the color and sound, and can control which of the six kinds of messages produce a notification. You can also decide how often to check. It's as flexible as I can make it. When you get new messages, the app will link you to FA to look at them.
What does it NOT do?
It does not, and will not, attempt to actually display any images from FA, or really anything except the "12S, 5C, 1F, 4N" text string. All viewing happens with your phone's browser, just like always. This just makes a noise when you get new notes and such. If the admins want, other things (like admin alerts and such) could be added, but I'm not going to try to parse the site, that's a losing battle. Hopefully, the admins won't be too put out over it.
I've been using this for some time now, and it's stable and feature-complete enough that I haven't had a need to go in and modify it in some time. There's a lot of things I'd like to add, but it hasn't been important enough. If it doesn't work, or you think it doesn't work, send me a note, I'll try to get it going again.

Warning! Setting it to check every 5 mintues will use quite a big chunk of data! (Roughly 2-3MB per day.) Beware if you don't have an unlimited plan!

dang lol
I think I'm finally decided to just pay the $25 to put this app under a different dev account. Hopefully it'll be in the market soon ^^
