[Android General] Oxyandy:
Multilingual v0.6 ?

I am not sure why the version in APK-Info-v0.6-by-fzolinet.zip lists the title as Multilingual ?

It fails badly, try adding any UTF-8 'special' characters to the INI_FILE and they will not show in the 'Program Interface' correctly at all.

Nor can it open any language *.apk

THEN: it has bugs: The icons & information does not update properly after reading the first *..APK

Using a browse button & having last path remembered, I can understand.

BUT if you use Windows "Send To" or "Open With" ( APK-Info.exe )

There is no need to think about any paths etc... ever

the APK you want to open - will always open from ''Where It Is"

(Or you can even Drag & Drop onto APK-Info.exe *OR* even drop any *.APK onto a 'Shortcut to APK-Info.exe')

So for me, browse is pointless & actually MUCH slower.

It's all about best usage.

The best way to support Drag & Drop (as people have requested on this thread)

IS:

Keep one Explorer window open with home of APK-Info.exe and just Drag & Drop *.APKs onto the EXE (Or shortcut to EXE)

(I would just need to update my code slightly to support 'multiple APK usage' - one APK after the other, without actually clicking the X to close)

Not even sure why a 'Program Interface' translation is even required ?

The program only has very basic English words like

"Exit" "OK" "Rename" "Cancel" "PlayStore".... etc

Who doesn't know / cant work those basic English words out ?

I live in a non English speaking country..

I know people who cant speak English, but they understand those words perfectly.

The English aapt.exe output is part of Android's standards, the only language the OS understands.

Such as:

internet
access_network_state
write_external_storage
read_phone_state
wake_lock
write_settings
read_external_storage

I think you are in trouble if you don't understand the English Permissions.

Now I made a version which can open any language source *.APK (Posted earlier in this thread)

Even those quirky RTL languages (Right to Left written languages) it has had over 100 downloads, I have been thanked twice.

With the version I posted, I added support for manual editing when you click Rename, a feature not available on any other versions posted.

(That also supports any language input)

Try changing that info (see image above) on other versions will simply ignore the edit.

Some of you like to add MD5 etc -- as you rename, again can only be done in the version I posted.

(Yeah, I could automate MD5 addition to file renaming)

I added support for:

"Downloading Updated/Older *.APK versions"

"More references for researching any *.APK, which no longer exists on Google Play"

"Install to Device via Cable or Wifi" Really useful ! Who doesn't like/use this feature ??

IF I was to consider the changes you have made - and offer an update:

I would make the program 'reset' when attempting to open a second *.APK...

**This would save having to "Exit" when opening a second APK file**

But, like I said - thanked twice, one with actual 'feedback' - sorta anyway..

So I really wonder about the 'Usefulness of my time'.

EDIT: OH and this is really jazzruby's thread, credits must go to him for taking the time to start & maintain this thread.

Without this thread I doubt I would have gone to the effort of starting a whole new one.

So thanks [MENTION=2805755]jazzruby[/MENTION]
