New Version of MediaDroid and Message Drop up on Android Market

I posted a new version of both MediaDroid and Message Drop to the Android Market this morning.

The new version of MediaDroid fixes the reboot bug.  It’s not as elegant as a fix as I’d like but it does work.  FYI to any developers, the SD Card isn’t necessarily mounted when the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED event is broadcast.  I used a CountDownTimer to wait 30 seconds after my BroadcastReceiver is called, then I’m able to access the files on the SD Card.

I added a couple features to Message Drop and fixed a few bugs.  The new features are spelled out on the Message Drop page  and include a new Setting for assigning the “Blank Tag” and a mode helping you build bulleted item lists.

My plan is to switch back to MediaDroid and perform some much needed polishing, and I ran into a Force Close that I haven’t been able to track down yet.  Always more to do!

Note To Me re-branded as Message Drop

I’ve finally got Message Drop to a point where I feel it deserves a release.  Message Drop is a re-branding of Note To Me with a built in email client and a couple new features.  I’ll be getting screen shots up soon on the Message Drop page along with some more information, but just wanted to put the word.

There’s a trial version available, but if you find it useful I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d help my development effort and purchase the 1.99 version.  By the way, if you purchased Note To Me already, I’d be more then happy to refund your money if you email me an address that I can send the refund to.  I promise not to use your email for spamming!

I would greatly appreciate any comments you may have about Message Drop, Cheers!
