So I bought the Android for a reason. Developing. And that’s what I did. Since there is no really great Podcastfetcher for the Android Platform I decided to write my own. It’s called APodder. (Guess what the A stands for.
) After a few days of work. I got some base functionality going:
- Downloading and parsing RSS2.0 feeds
- Storing podcasts and their shows in a SQLite databse
- An Interface that has a podcast-view and a show-view (see the pictures below).
- Possibility to download shows with showing a progressbar (see the pictures below).
Not everything works 100% as I have it in my mind. But I’m getting there. This is my first bigger project in Java. Until now I only developed in C++, C and Python.But thanks to Eclipse and its awesome AutoCompletition I’m doing quite fine. Expect to see more APodder news in February. I have exams in university in the end of january. So I will minimize developing hours.
