O Oh… Memory leaks

Nov 18 2009 Published by under Uncategorized

Having bigger bitmaps is one, but it also urges me to look at memory leaks. There is no time like the present to deal with it. I have several reports of force close issues when trying to import photos.

I have reread the following article. It’s time to face the facts and do some refactoring on this.

I ‘ll release a fix asap. Keep fingers crossed
And O, please ignore the Work in Progress feature. It doesnt do much yet but stay tuned!

Game on

Nov 14 2009 Published by under Uncategorized

Draw! 250.000 downloads mark achieved in only nine months. Not bad for an app that started as a practice project. Figures like these( and your ratings of course), motivates me to continue adding new stuff.

Having the 2.0 android sdk options in mind, someone whispered me a fun game option I am definitely planning to add. While I find it too soon to bring out a 2.0 based version already, I could start planning to shape up a simple game on the 1.6 all kids would like playing.

Well, hope you ll like it. I expect to complete it well before years end. Who knows how this evolves into…

PS: Today’s release was all about having multiple undo’s. I agree just one did not cut it. So it was time to refactor and make it 10… (Unless you change pens, then it empties the history actions list.)

250.000 downloads in sight…

Oct 10 2009 Published by under Android

Draw! has been rebuild with the recently released 1.6 framework.
Currently the counter is @ 227243 downloads!

I reckon by the end of this year I ll pass that 250.000 mark…yay!

O, I created a fan page on Facebook… so please become a fan! :D
I put a button right about there…

Quick update 1.61
I ve found a way to make fingerpainting more responsive, making the curve drawn actually following the finger.

And while I was on it anyways, after studying the new features the Donut framework is providing, I couldnt resist and build in letter recognition to Add Text in drawings. And O yes, text to speech is another additional feature to hear what you ve just typed. Currently build in Draw! 2.0

Donut is way cool… cant wait what Eclair will bring us…

PS: If you have ideas or found a bug, you r more than welcome to email me…

Draw!

Mar 07 2009 Published by under Android

Draw and flash! For easy finger communication in loud places, simple concept drawings, quick notes, grocery list, hangman, TODO tasks or simply to keep the kids busy.

Forget about drawing on napkins! Get yourself a copy of Draw!

Here is what a mom had to say about Draw!: At first I thought the Draw! app was just to simple and my kids would never be interested in it.Then I went to grab my new Nexus One off the charger and couldn’t find it….

Features:

    Colorpicker
    Pen width control
    Saving to Gallery
    Delete (with longpress)
    Duo Pens
    Eraser
    Send email/MMS etc
    Preferences
    Twitter with Twitpic, Posterous or Tweetphoto
    Multiple sets
    Slideshow
    Multiple undo
    Panning
    Importing backgrounds
    Curved text adding with gesture recognition
    Flip `n shake
    Red vs Blue
    Jigsaw
    Live wallpaper

Get it from Draw! download page

Or use your Barcode Scanner:

PS: For those who need to know how flip N shake works: if enabled, flip the phone facedown towards the ground and shake vertically. If you do that, the screen clears up for you to make another note. Nothing is saved btw…

Thank you people for sending me your drawings! As you can see, I used one of them for the logo
