I will give it a shot. Let yall know.

chezbi · 07/31/2009, 11:59 AM

Looks good. Can you use it with file coaster?

bugzpimpin · 07/31/2009, 12:04 PM

Nice program...thanks.

Is there anyway that you could make the cheezburger website fit on the page without having to move the picture around?...maybe landscape mode?

tidusmccoy1515 · 07/31/2009, 12:04 PM

The FML part rocks, but the lol section isnt so well. The images don't scale properly (which is fine) but alot of the images don't load (which you said is a bug). So far so good though. The FML part is good as is. Maybe make this a pure FML app?

TIWizard · 07/31/2009, 12:18 PM

I actually did get FailBlog to work and will upload an update now...

I do not actually have a Pre (Sept 1st

), so I cannot test landscape mode. This should work with FileCoaster

I am trying to get the ImageView widget to work so I can enable zooming, but that is for a later update.

FYI, ALL Failblog images load correctly in the emulator. Not sure about on-device.

en0x · 07/31/2009, 12:22 PM

where i can get this app?

Dilandu · 07/31/2009, 12:23 PM

Whrees the .ipk? Or did I go blind over night lol

TIWizard · 07/31/2009, 12:23 PM

Sorry, I was swapping out the IPK. It is in the first post, now with FailBlog support. I will increase the version next time, but I just added a line if code... Not really worthy of a new version

volcom45 · 12:37 PM

Haha, I could spend hours reading those FML, they make the app! Thanks much!

Edit: It would sure be cool if you could add the "email to:" option below the FML's for ones you wanted to send to someone or allow us to select the text to copy/paste into a text message or email.

hirenpathak · 07/31/2009, 12:32 PM

Its great.. I am a fan of FML.. its really funny.. I wonder if its real stories or people are making it up..

fain · 07/31/2009, 12:33 PM

Why did you make the code hard to read? Are you hiding something? Sorry if I come off a bit paranoid here but I do not see a reason to do this as it would not prevent piracy.

edit: well I guess you could hash something and talk to a server to verify and hide the code in that mess.

kadafy · 07/31/2009, 12:35 PM

It would be bad *** if you could save the images from the program to the pre. Nice app regardless.

jasetroncs · 07/31/2009, 12:38 PM

Yay I finally have an actual app that neatly displays FMLs. I wish there was a way that I could vote on whether I agree or if they deserved it. I would figure that to be easy enough to implement, no?

Does it show the most recent FMLs or just random ones?

I was testing the scrambling so I could implement a secret API key in the future. The website does not want the secret token for my API key public, so I have to hide it in the source. I have tried encrypting the key, but it is much more difficult to implement.

I will see what I can do

This shows random FMLs, and I have to apply for an API key in order to allow for voting. I have applied, but they have not responded yet.

Also, I have gotten the image view to work... Next update will include a much better UI for the LOLs. You can swipe left and right (with a history) and can zoom, pan, etc.

kadafy · 07/31/2009, 12:49 PM

Another bad *** option would be the ability to send the picture to someone else by email or MMS.

I would be interested in knowing what you used to obfuscate it? I recall talking with the guy who worked on Flightview and they had to do the same, but said it was extremely tedious in terms of testing. Did you have to clean anything up? issues? etc?

Why didn't I think of that

I will add that with the next version, including Engrish Funny from the Cheezburger network

Mahootzki · 07/31/2009, 01:29 PM

Niiiice, can you add the textsfromlastnight (TFLN) site to it? That would be awsome.
