Hello fellow XDA-developers!
I just wanted to announce another pet project: -->costpad.com<--
It is a purchases logging service that I wanted to develop as a "supermarket companion", but it can be used for any kind of purchases.
The basic philosophy behind it is: "By logging your purchases, you keep a track of your expenditures and at the same time you inform the community of the price of the products you bought".
The site is in active alpha stage, but in a minimal useful condition (my girlfriend and I use it daily).
As all community-based sites, the "chicken-and-egg" problem exists: The site's value increases when users use it, but users use it only after it has gained enough value... For now, the database is tiny and basically contains products/shops found near me, here in Greece , but I hope I have made it easy enough to add more content.
Features:
- Submit/Log your purchases
- View your basic monthly/overall spending statistics
- Separate accounts
- Shop map location
- View product's latest market price
- View product's cheapest vendor
- Smart shopping lists (automatically remove/decrease items when bought)
- Finger friendly for touchscreen devices
To come:
- "Downloading" a shopping list via SMS to your mobile (for low-tech, no data-plan users. I already use it)
- Automatically "solve" the shopping list "equation" and propose the cheapest nearby location to buy the items
- Coupling with Barcorama is on its way naturally... The vision: "Return home from the supermarket and use your pda to quickly+accurately log the purchases..."
- Voting system to filter out the bad/inaccurate information
- Automatic logging of purchases (e.g. using Paypal receipt emails)
- Pocket-IE friendly
- Database security: encryption of user private entries
- Own data export/import
- Bug fixes!
I will be glad to hear any comments... but please, don't be too cruel, I'm not a web developer actually..
have fun
P.S. I do all the development/hosting on my own home server, so expect slow speeds...
fellow XDAers,
I just wanted to bump this thread by reporting some developments..
- costpad calculates the "best" shop to go buy your shopping list items. Based on distance, item availability and ofcource price
- smart product and shop search. Try using multiple keywords in the product and shop boxes
- browser friendly OpenSearch. You can add costpad as a search engine to the search box. In firefox e.g. press the searchbox icon and select "Add Costpad"
- coupled with Barcorama. You can use barcorama to scan a barcode and "quickly" submit an relevant purhase. Network access is required for that, so charges may apply...
- more unified GUI
what do you think? check it out... http://costpad.com
have fun,

Hello all,
I was hoping you could take a moment and provide some feedback on a software project that myself and a group of others created for a business module we are taking.
The idea is a simple (and certainly not unique!!) one.
1. Take Picture of Barcode
2. Decode
3. Get Amazon results for that barcode
The software (attached) has been thrown together just to demo the concept. It uses a web service to do the decoding which makes it pretty slow, it is not production quality software, it is just for testing the concept.
If you have a second and give it a go, please take a second and answer the following:
1. Did it work?
2. Would you use it? (If not, why not)
If you don't feel like downloading it, it would be great if you could take a second and reply saying why you don't want to, e.g. "I just don't think I would find it useful.."
Thanks,
Scott
P.S. Sorry if this is not the correct place on the foum to post this, but it seemed the most appropriate.
P.P.S. I tired to attach the source to this as I am not sure how to create a cab and so this might not run correctly on peoples phones that have not run .NET apps before, but the attach page kept timing out...
Great stuff!!!
I have not downloaded the app.
Here's why:
There are other FREE barcaode apps out there that do the same but query more than one system.
Suggestion
Expand your query to other database
Market your product by telling what's different from the others
Will try this...I'll give some feedbacks after few days...cheers
Definetly going to try this out. Thanks for posting, and ill report back also, after some testing. Thanks again.
dschoenike
Cheers for the feedback. Just a word of warning, this is a really really REALLY rough prototype.
@tricsio: Thanks for the feedback, this is exactly the sort of feedback we were looking. Our plans to expand this are:
1. Do image recognition on the device to remove need for sending big files
2. Instead of querying amazon directly with barcode as we do now, send it through an intermediate webservice that we control, which will search multiple sites and return this list back to the device.
3. We also considered things like integrating it with our University's library system to check if a book is available, on loan, the shelfmark etc.
@admins that may read this, I didn't notice the sticky before posting, I am going to read it now and edt the post if it violates any of the rules, sorry about that.
There has been increasing demand for a windows mobile version of imap.
iMapMy (powered by MapMyFitness is a location-based application that uses the built in GPS technology on your iPhone to allow runners, cyclists, (or any outdoor fitness activity) to track their daily training data, including:
* Total Time
* Total Distance (in miles or kilometers)
* Pace (minutes per km/mile) or current speed
* Average Speed / Pace (km/mile)
* View your running maps directly on your iPhone
* Training Log including Distance, Calories Burned, Time, and Date
* Add Your Workout to Twitter
Some requests have been sent into the map my run team, but I was wondering if some of the amazing people here might be able to develop this. Maybe people have been using g-watch and uploading their gpx files to the mapmyrun website, but the application would be pretty convenient to have, and hopefully more accurate than the geocatching on g-watch. That being said, g-watch has been amazing!
I am not a programmer and cannot offer much as far as help beyond testing, but I am sure the app would be greatly appreciated by me and the map my run community (who I would surely share this with).
Please respond or PM me if you are willing to take up the challenge or have any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks.
Hi!
There are actually (at least) two applications available on the WinMo platform that has some of the requested features.
1) Ageye G-Watch (that you obviously are aware of)
2) GPS Cycle Computer v3
None of the above mentioned applications have all the features of iMapMy, but I guess that this are the two best candidates to adopt new features, because both applications are free (GPS Cycle Computer is even open source). I guess that you could contact the authors and discuss further development.
Regards,
PK
Thanks for the suggestions! I am putting GPS Cycle on my phone right now. I am going to see about hooking the developers and mapmyrun to get a fully integrated mapmyrun app too.
You might also want to check BikeDashboard:
http://bikedashboard.mathieugardere.com/
It also has some of the features you requested. And a little donation to the developers might help to convince them to put in the rest of these features
Check out www.sportypal.com
I use RunGPS trainer which is brilliant (but paid), downloaded sportypal yesterday and it looks like it may have some similar features and its free.
I also recommend RunGPS. It has more features than I need, really (routing, heart rate monitor etc), but I do like the options for lap detection, voice output of various stats, map and route downloading from multiple sources and a very thorough (if not very aestehtically pleasing) portal to upload information to ( http://www.gps-sport.net , although it can also upload to a couple of other independent sites)
It doesn't have Twitter integration afaik, but there are widgets and static images that you can put on websites with some information.
If there's one feature that I miss from Nokia Sportstracker on Symbian, it would be using the accelerometer as a pedometer. This was pretty accurate on my old N95, even when just walking.
have you tried track my run?
click me
in germany there is smartrunner, its covering all of your needs:
http://www.smartrunner.de
+1 for SportyPal.
You can actually track your run/bike/rollerblade etc, then upload it to your sportypal.com page, and view the stats. You can even share it with your friends!!
(PLUS ITS FREE!)
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have so much research to do now! I am also going to share this trhead with the peeps over on the mapmyrun forum so they can take a look at all the optison they have.
Kind of redundant
I think Sporty Pal just saved me from buying a garmin. Now I just need a armband for my fuze and Im ready to roll!
+1 sporty pal
Now I just have to find out if it has some kind of virtual runner =)
Hi there!
I've started this project to make an application to track myself when i'm out walking with my lovely touch pro.
Now i would like to make it open source and free for all trekking amateurs, and i'm posting this here to get some advice and to see if someone is interested.
I would like to make a simple and beautiful application, that doesen't drain the battery and that allow to record and repeat trails, store waypoints, integrate some mappings and exchange data with google earth or others apps. It might include some geocaching features and online sharing stuffs as well...
The project is hosted on http://code.google.com/p/trailcompanion/
and i've set up a development blog here: trailcompanion.wordpress.com
I'm not releasing any cabs soon, just some source code to start and see what we can get...
however, if someone would like to be involved just show up here!
*Edit 2009-08-30:
I've posted some updates and sample screenshots on the devel blog:
http://trailcompanion.wordpress.com/2009/08/30/post-holydays-update/
You could take a look at TrackME.
They also have a web interface.
It's all good, except for the sql requirement.
For my part, for small data, I prefer flat files.

Here the screenshots:
I would like to share a simple tutorial that covers the Android Activity component.
Its not as basic as a 'HelloWorld', but it covers some simple but useful getting started like usecases such as:
* Activity component callbacks during launching an App and quitting an App
* App State persistence across re-starts
* Activity component callbacks for Menu creation and event handling
* Navigation from the main screen of the Activity to another screen within the Activity
The tutorial with source code is available at: openmobster.blogspot.com/2010/10/android-activity-basics.html
Since I am new to this community I was not allowed to post the link, so I had to use a workaround. I hope this is not considered spam.
My intention is to help the Android developer community learn more about the platform and also learn more myself from others in this community.
Thanks
Thanks for this! I always start learning a new environment using a 'getting started' book and online tutorials, and a tutorial like this, from the trenches as it were, is always a great place to get some tips and tricks!
-edit-
Uhm...your blog doesn't seem to exist?!?
I check it out, your link is fine & to above does work .
