All previous versions can now be downloaded, just in case you want a worse version of the same app.

I might have forgotten to add the write settings permission to the manifest file...



First Dev Update!

February 21, 2022



Ha ha! I've actually updated my app. The pesky install bug is now gone (or so I hope). It might have taken me all day to figure out the permissions, but at least it now works. I now also have a version code, so I can keep better track of the version output. The new download is currently live ont the download page, so feel free to reinstall and wonder at the beauty of a non instant crash.

I figured I should include some code analysis in these updates, so I'll kind of go over what exactly I changed:

The permission request method

This method here is the backbone of the whole operation, basically every time a permission is requested, this method receives the response. From here it outputs a "method code" as I'm calling it, which is sent to the below method:

The method organizer

And this is a method purely from my own mind. I was desperately trying to figure out an elegant solution to the issue of the permission thread being asynchronous. There wasn't a lot of room, since the onRequestPermissionsResult() is a method override, so I only had the parameters initially passed. I then realized the one unique identifier was the request code, and I could use that to determine which method is called. Each permission has a request code (100, 103, 105, etc.). When a permission is granted, the code gets +1, when a permission is denied, it gets +2. This allows each permission scenario to have a unique code that can be passed though onRequestPermissionsResult() into the method manager I have set up.

Overall, I would say this was a pretty successful day, and I'm glad I finally managed to fix the permissions.



Conclusion of Day #2

Not much occurred, spent about 2 hours trying to get the stupid radio button setup working on the main page. Also added some copyright stuff and improved the formatting on this page. Figured I might as well show off the current website image, here's a screenshot:

Guess What, Another Test!

So, I need a lot of words to test how height stuff works here, so umm, enjoy the definition of a volcano taco.

The Volcano Taco is a taco that was initially available in a limited-time release at select Taco Bell locations during the fall of 2008, but have since been added to the permanent menu. Volcano Tacos consist of a distinctive red crunchy taco shell stuffed with ground beef, lettuce, and Lava Sauce, a spicy nacho cheese sauce that was unavailable prior to the introduction of the Volcano Taco.

Volcano Taco is unrelated to the Volcano Burrito, a limited-run promotional item available in 1995 as a tie-in with the film Congo, which was billed as "the spiciest burrito ever."

In July 2009, the Volcano Taco had returned through 2013 until Taco Bell decided to discontinue(indefinitely) this menu item.

Conclusion of Day #1 of Website Design

The website is now moderately complete. Definitely need to make some more things responsive, and improve some formatting, but I'm pretty happy with it for the time being. I need to also make some images, and figure out what content I actually want up on this site other than just the app download (i.e. potential games??). I shall see what the future brings.

Again, another test for formatting, exhilirating content, I know.

This is really just a test of text and formatting, but just for the heck of it, I'll leave this as the first post
