The Massive Dev Chart for Android

kianryan Code, Photog

Edit: The Orange Tentacle version of the Massive Dev chart has now been unpublished at the request of Digital Truth. Digital Truth now have their own paid version of the application which is availible on the Android Market.

mike-dryingI’m proud to announce the first release of the Massive Dev Chart for Android. For those in the know, the Massive Dev Chart is an invaluable online database containing thousands of tested combinations of developers and films for Black and White development.

A portable version of this information already exists for the J2ME platform, and has been in existence for some time. But with the advent of the next generation mobile platforms, there was a gap for a new application to fill the void.

Massive Dev Chart ScreenshotThe Massive Dev Chart for Android goes beyond the remit of the original application by providing real-time search facilities for developers and films, providing information for small, medium and large format, and providing crucial extended information where it’s needed.

This is the first in hopefully a line of Android applications from Orange Tentacle and is available in the marketplace on your G1 now.

    Congrats on your first App, will you be released it on the App Store?

    Love the icon.

  • http://www.kianryan.co.uk/ kianryan

    It is indeed an icon made of most awesome win. The designer is highly talented.

    It’s already up and live on Android Marketplace, we’ve got 260+ “active” downloads already (users who’ve installed it and not uninstalled it).

    Wow you’ve made an android app :S what have I been doing :(

    My JQuery based RTS sucks compared to this.

    All the best Kian.

    This app was peanuts compared to what you had planned. Most of the work involved on this was data wrangling, attempting to iron out some of problems with the original data provided by DigitalTruth.

    Get past that and the rest was easy :-)

    I need a new laptop to get proper testing done for an android app to be viable, I had an interview for a dev job this week, I hope it goes well. If you have any subcontracting work needing to be done you know who to call :)

    I just downloaded the app last night and love it. I just moved to a warmer climate so now warm temperature development is a real issue for me. I was hoping that the Temp/Time function would work, but it’s greyed out. I now have to access the digitaltruth website in order to get the converted time. Is there something that I’m not doing to get this feature? I paid my money for it, but it seems diabled.

    Thanks, G.

    Hi there,

    I think you’re referring to the iPhone version the the Massive Dev chart. I don’t work for or with Digital Truth, they simply provide me with the data to ship with the application. You’ll need to address your query to Digital Truth here:

    Wow this is cool just what I need

    I don’t know how different the Symbian and Android platforms are, but what are the chances of getting the Massive Dev chart for the Nokia n97?

  • http://www.kianryan.co.uk/ kianryan

    The platforms are miles apart (anyone developing for Android/iPhone/Symbian will happily tell you there’s bugger-all common between the platforms).

    However, there is already a J2ME port of the Massive Dev chart, but it’s a little out of date now. The port is available here: http://www.jankeirse.be/index.php?linkje=devchart

    I was going to write this as my first app for the Droid I just got to teach myself how to program in java and for Android. Oh well, thanks for writing it first! I hit the Massive Development Chart website at least once a week when I’m developing film. It’ll be cool to have it on the phone in case my internet at home goes down or whatever.

  • http://www.kianryan.co.uk/ Kian Ryan

    Sorry Luke, already managed to beat you to it ;-)

    You’re welcome to suggest feature ideas for the next version. I’ve not touched the code base for the app for a while, it’ll be due a revision after I’ve finished my current application.

    How do I buy this for my new Motorola Android? I tried your site, but nothing loads. This will be a great teaching tool as well. Thanks, Ben

    Hello,

    I have a HTC Wildfire and due to the screen limitation (240×320) i can’t see all the apps on the market.

    Is there a possibility for me to have the .APK of this application ?

    Because the invisibles apps works on the Wildfire when installed from APK.

    Thank you very much.
