Wow. I am not that kind of guy who writes reviews but this youtube vid was pretty amazing:

Wondered if Draw! supports widgets for the Homescreen?
Yes it can!

Wondered if Gallery could be any better?
Yes it can!



Go check it out and let me know what you think…

Want to backup your notes to SD card? Now it ‘s easy peasy.
Also the Back button is to quickly Undo or when long pressed, to Save.

Go get it from the market or the download page on my blog.

Tip: try import a notepad background next time you run Draw!

From Draw!

I am about to squeeze out another tiny update of Draw!
Someone suggested to disable the back button. OK. Got that.
What about Save? Press D-pad (directional pad)
And Pen 1: Press D-pad left
Pen 2: Press D-pad right

That should speed it up alright!

Yes I admit t. Once in a while I vanity search, aka Egosurfing. The practice of searching for one’s own given name, surname, full name, pseudonym, or screen name on a popular search engine, to see what results appear.

Well, I found out some folks made a vid of Draw!. How nice is that? There are lots more features not shown, but hey this is great stuff already! Thx alot people!

I finally managed to fix that annoying memory overload error when importing a photo on a Droid.
It seems that the Droid makes huge photos (2592 x 1936 Pixels (5.02 MPixels)) Something this big Draw! wasn’t simply up against.

But due to help from a friendly Droid user I was able to get it done. Without his valuable help, there wouldnt be a quickfix for all of us!

Today I have found a possible solution to the bug that causes Droid to unable to import a pic.

Here is the suggested code. I’ll give it a try today as it is raining outside anyhoo. Much kudos for Keith, the dev of WallSwitch.

Yep. This isnt a story from Ronald Dahl with Johnny Depp starring in it. The sad truth is that about 90% of the ErrorReports I am receiving is from a Droid.
After googling a while on “bitmap size exceeds VM budget” I cant help but think it is a bug in android somewhere in the bitmapfactory. (May the future prove me wrong otherwise)

Till then I have reduced the bitmap size for the Droid. Hope this solves the outofmemory issue a little.

Also, I have decided to remove the GPS locating permission as it was used to geotag to TweetPhoto. Maybe that was too much to ask.

Wow,
what I also added is an error reporting feature developed by androidblogger

What I was afraid of is now properly measured and staring me in the eyes and hard to ignore:
OutOfMemory exceptions!
so far it happens a lot on the Droid…
I am looking into it, my hopes are set to the garbage.collector now

Thx for sending the reports people!
