Bean Counter - libre calorie tracker app for Android

Updated over 4 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. 1 follower. Has no hacker: grab it!

To teach myself Java coding and Android development - and because I couldn't find one on FDroid - I decided to write myself a little Android calorie tracker app for my own, personal use.

It's in a very basic and rudimentary state and - while it works - lacks a lot of desired functionality (like the ability to edit or remove entries) and many of the trappings of a "real" Android app (like proper icons).

The primary goal of this project is to continue development on the app and get it to a state where I can then put it on github/gitlab/bitbucket/… without having to be embarassed about it.

If you would like to join and contribute, I will figure out a way to share the git repo and the issues/TODOs I had in mind with you.

WARNING: I'm a total n00b in both Android and Java and my SQL is more middling than good.

    Create an Android app for Syncthing as part of the Syncthing Tray project by mkittler

    Description

    There's already an app but code/features already in Syncthing Tray could be reused to create a nicer app with additional features like managing ignore patterns more easily. The additional UI code for the app could then in turn be re-used by other parts of Syncthing Tray, e.g. to implement further steps in the wizard as requested by some users. This way one "UI wrapper codebase" could serve GNU/Linux, Windows and Android (and in theory MacOS) at the same time which is kind of neat.

    Goals

    • DONE: Learn more about development for Android and development of UIs with Qt Quick
    • DONE: Create an experimental app reusing as much existing Syncthing Tray code as possible
    • DONE: Build Syncthing as a library also for Android and use it in the app (already done but needs further testing and integration with the rest of the app configuration)
    • DONE: Update the Syncthing Tray website, documentation
    • DONE: Extend the app so it has at least a start page and an import
    • Update forum thread
    • DONE: Upload an experimental build on GitHub
    • Extend the Syncthing API to download single files on demand (instead of having to sync the whole directory or use ignore patterns)
    • Bring back parts of the newly developed mobile UI back to Syncthing Tray on the desktop to fully benefit from the cross-platform development
      • Add UI to add/edit folders and devices in desktop tray app
      • Add UI to show out-of-sync items in desktop tray app
      • Create an alternative "AppWindow" tailored for desktop platforms reusing UI components developed for the mobile app

    Resources

    • Android SDK/NDK and emulator
