Pocket Quotes great on my Samsung Epix

I've been looking for a stock quote app for my Epix (320x320 screen) for quite a while. Couldn't find a free/inexpensive one that worked on my display.

Thought about trying to program one for myself, but it's been a long time since I've done any "real" programming. Found this app via the forums at basic4ppc and then found the CAB installation here.

I love it! It works great! Thank you for coding and sharing this!

Had a couple of suggestions for possible future enhancements beyond those you had listed above:

Display a progress bar or message when updating stocks.

Allow the user to change the font size for the list of stocks.

Allow the user to optionally turn on/off the display of the detail box and have a longer list of stocks shown.

Allow the user to optionally input a user-friendly name to display in place of the ticker symbol on the main list. e.g. "Ford" instead of just "F".

Allow user to specify the order of the stocks, or keep them in alphabetical order.

Optionally let the user choose to display the list either with alternating colors OR with color coded backgrounds in the list box which indicate postive changes (green), negative changes (red), or no change (gray).

Implement a settings dialog to allow the user to configure any options you implement.

Publicize this app more and provide a way for people to make donations to show their appreciation :)

As I said, I am very grateful that you built and shared this app. You did a great job making it smart enough to adjust the display to the device on which it is running.

My suggestions are just ways in which you might enhance it to allow your users to customize it more to their liking.

4/25 Update: Found one additional issue. Can't seem to download stock market indices. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial average (symbol "^DJI"). Looks like the "^DJI" is being turned into "%5EDJI" and then not returning any prices.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions - I had stopped working on this because it didn't look like there was any interest. I'll take some of your ideas and add them to the next release (which will be after I finish taking the PMP certification - preparing for that is taking up a lot of my spare time)

I'll check on the DJ symbols - they should work since it works within Yahoo and I'm using the Yahoo feed for updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guap:
also eur/usd parameter should b configurable as well...

good appz ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
I fixed the VGA display (Portrait only) and tested the Dow Jones - it doesn't work because "^DJI" is passed as part of the string and http doesn't like that. I need to urlencode it and see if that works.

I'll work on some of the other suggestions and get a developer's release out soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
Version D-14

I have placed version D-14 (developer's release) on the main post. Unzip and copy to your PDA.

I have not implemented any of the excellent suggestions yet - I'm working on stabilizing the core functionality before I start adding to it.

Changes included in this release:

1. Added a splash screen on start-up (it's downloading stock updates in the background)

2. Fixed sort when adding stock symbol

3. Fixed VGA display (still only Portrait though)

4. URL encoded "^" for DJI - but it still doesn't work. I need to work with the Yahoo RSS feed to see why not

5. Fixed delete symbol bug (it didn't update all of the arrays, causing the wrong details to be displayed on a symbol)

For anyone with B4PPC, I added the source code to the zip file. Requires the ListView and fgControls library (included)

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

UPDATE: Version D-14 uploaded to first post. I had left off a zero in the timer control, causing the program to refresh 6 seconds x setting - needed to be every 60 seconds per each minute in the setting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
Release D-15

Release D-13 has been uploaded to the main post

Changes:

1. Add downloading of stock chart when selecting stock symbol

2. Organized program images into gfx directory

3. Minor bug fixes & tweaks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gibbers:
Downloaded and tried D-15. Couple of new issues introduced.

Delete does not seem to be working for me. I can select it from the context menu, but after a brief delay it just repaints the screen without deleting anything. I can add stocks, but can't delete them without editing the pocketquotes.ini file.

Also the detail display is no longer displaying properly on my Epix (320x320 resolution). The bottom of the first row of characters with stock name is cut off, and I can only see the "Close" and "Highest" labels. The close price displays OK, but the Highest price gets truncated on the right (even though there is space on the screen to display it.) Also the bottom line which displays the last trade date is ovelaying other data and the bottom of the last trade text is also cut off.

Finally, in the Add dialog, it looks like there may be a display problem. But I think it was there before too. Below the label which says "Enter Stock", it looks like there is something there, but I can only see a few of the top pixels above the Cancel button.

Just reverted back to D-13 version, and it appears delete does not work for me with this version either. In this version, If I delete a stock, it is removed from the list. But it reappears when I close and reopen the app.

Do you have access to an emulator to see how it runs on a square screen device? If not I could probably figure out how to get a screen cap if it would help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
First, thanks for the feedback.

When you delete a stock, it should go to the download routine (it will display the download image) and then repaint the screen. On my PDA it does not put the symbol that was deleted back there.

Can you send me the stock symbols that you are using? I'll try a test with that.

As for the display on 320x320 - that is a resolution that I've always had mixed results with. I think I am going to remove the stock detail area at the bottom and display it when you click on the symbol (the one that shows the chart) This will make it easier to program as I can use the entire available screen for listing the stocks.

I'll check the add code. I may need to add a refresh or something to force a screen update. There should be a panel with an input box. I did notice it does a refresh download (which it shouldn't do at this point)

Last, I'll install the emulators so I can run some additional testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
Version D-16

I have uploaded D-16 to the main post.

Changes:

1. Stock detail info moved to chart page; main page only shows list of stock symbols

2. Moved "Add Stock Symbol" from pop-up panel to new page; should display

I am in the process of setting up the emulators, but since function has been moved off onto a separate page, they should display properly on all screen sizes (portrait mode only)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gibbers:
Display Issues on Samsung Epix

Looks like Version D-16 still has some issues on my phone.

It appears that the details display area shrunk between version D-13 and D-15.

D-13 View attachment 186328

D-15 View attachment 186329

And the chart display area grew between version D-15 and D-16.

D-15 View attachment 186330

D-16 View attachment 186331

In terms of the Add Panel, it looks pretty much the same in all three versions, and is functional. Is there some text cut off which is peeking up from behind the cancel button on my display?

D-13 View attachment 186332

D-15 View attachment 186333

D-16 View attachment 186334

In the attached images, note that the ^DJI chart does display. It's just the quotes for ^DJI and other indices that don't work. Maybe a clue to fixing it? Or maybe not.

I still can't delete any symbols from the UI. I'm going to try deleting the ini file, since it was originally created with an old version, and manually edited on my PC. I figure a fresh start couldn't hurt and so far I don't have many symbols to re-add anyway. Will let you know how that works out.

I like the idea of the combined chart and details screen. If you can figure out how to get the display area for details to be sized right (as it was in D-13), then maybe you could use whatever is left on the screen to display the chart.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gibbers:
Also meant to add, that the display of the actual stocks on D16 works well. Just missing the data for the market indices.

View attachment 186342

I appreciate the work you are putting into this. I think you are on your way to a great little utility here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gibbers:
Tried with a brand new .ini file. Similiar issues. It appears that you created a default .ini with the auto companies. I deleted all except HMC without issue. Then I added all the symbols I had before. And tried to delete several. None could be deleted. Except the HMC one. Then I couldn't delete others. The only thing I could see was that HMC was first entry on the list in the .ini file. And the remainder of the entries were NOT in alphabetical order. Are they supposed to be in alpha order in the .ini file? Could it be that the indices are somehow messing things up?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
That sounds like it could be the problem why it's not deleting; the "^" symbol is messing things up.

The screen display is cutting off some information on the 320x320 display (works ok on VGA and QVGA) - I have some code that I need to apply to setting the form for 320x320. It's really a simple calculation where if the display is 320 I use an offset factor of 1.25, and if its VGA I use an offset factor of 2. I just need to apply this for your display.

Thanks for the images - it helps me to see what is happening. I'm having trouble getting the networking to work within the emulator so it's not downloading stock data (I may have to build an off-line mode to work around this)

I'll get an update back to you later today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
Version .19

Developer's Release .19

1. Added "splash" screen when updating stocks

2. Added configuration to change list row colors

3. Moved stock info to graph screen - main shows only list of stocks

4. Fixed sort when adding new stock

5. Fixed SIP when adding stock

Still working on some of the other suggestions.

I will cab this on the next release. I'm going to add in a update from web feature (I just implemented the same on pocket quotes) so that users can be sure that they always have the latest version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
Release 1.0

I've updated "Pocket Quotes" and released the first public release 1.0 with source code on my wiki: http://campusbbs.freehostia.com/doku.php?id=pocket_quotes

See main post for screen shots.

Some of the features added:

1. Additional charts added (now includes daily, weekly, yearly)

2. Update from the web
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jamesg302:
Thank you for making a stock quote program. I have been looking for a long time and there are relatively few programs that work well. I like many of the things you have done but there are some things I like from other community members. Please take a quick look at the post below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=476613

I like the way each stock line shows red or green depending on stock up/down or profit/loss. Also, its nice to have the added screen space that the scroll bar takes up. Perhaps the scroll bar is not needed?
[Touch HD General] Hardice33:
Hey guys, I have had my Touch HD for a little less than a month.

I am extremely happy with everything about it...

But a couple of days ago, I started experiencing a static type noise during calls only. It seems like there is an interference or something every time I place a call.

I have never dropped it since I got it so I know I didn't break anything.

I purchased a Squaretrade warranty when I bought the phone. Do you think that I should send it in? What do you think is the problem?
[Touch HD General] mavyo:
Is is it on incoming, out going or all calls? Have you tried using the headphones that the phone came with? Do you still hear the noise with those???
[Touch HD General] maverick24:
I am having the same problem. Is this a hardware or a software issue?
[Touch HD General] mindpower:
I am also getting some static interference noises on calls only , only had my phone under a week , would a firmware upgrade fix this or is this a hardware fault?
[Touch HD General] Hardice33:
It is on both incoming and outgoing calls.

I tried the headphones that came with the phone and I don't hear static with them.

Also, when using the speaker phone, it does not make any static noises.

Any takers?
[Touch HD General] shruff:
Yep mine has static too, it can help a bit to hold the device high up since the Aerial is at the bottom.
[Touch HD General] mavyo:
I had the same problem. Only heard the static when using the phone to my ear. Never when using a bluetooth headset or the speaker on the back. I tried several hard resets and phoned HTC. I've since sent the handset back. I'm waiting to hear if they are giving me a new handset or a refund as I had only had the phone for 5 days.

I done a load of searching and couldn't find anyone else with the same problem. HTC said it was a new problem to them but it looks as though there are a few of us.
[Touch HD General] Hardice33:
Please keep us updated on what they have to say about your situation.
[Touch HD General] mindpower:
Hi,

Im still getting that static noises , Also getting it when im playing audio on windows media player , Ive also tried core player , still same , so it's not the windows software , I reckon could be a hardward fault.

i have a orange htc touch hd .

does any1 else get these noises when playing any audio ?
[Touch HD General] Hardice33:
I'm thinking the problem is hardware related. Seems like something is loose, connectionwise.

Whenever I hear the static in call, and kind of jiggle the phone around or press the screen and back together it goes away for a little bit.

I am going to take advantage of my warranty I believe.
[Touch HD General] Hardice33:
Well I dropped my phone today and it appears the static noises in call have disappeared. :)
[Touch HD General] Aussi:
Hehe well I'm not trying that one out :D I also have the statice noise in call but its only at one person and its always the same one :\

So maybe I should drop that person on the floor :P
[Touch HD General] rtramsey:
Onboard Speaker noise / crackling

I've had my HD since Friday, and I'm having the same noise. I hear it as soon as I press send and intermittently during all calls. When it goes away, if I stay really still, I don't hear it till I move. Really irritating for an $800 phone. I called the guy at the phone store where I bought it and he told me to call HTC.:eek:
[Touch HD General] tamerh:
i have the same problem .. sometimes the noise disapear when i press on battery cover, anyone found a solution for that problem
[G1 Android Development] ShaffersMyHomie:
When I try to get root on my g1 I get to the "flash_image recovery recovery.img" step and I keep getting "error opening recovery.img: No such file or directory." I have tried changing recovery.img to /sdcard/recovery.img and I have made sure that I properly unmounted it from my computer. When I cd to sdcard and ls the only thing inside is dcim, but when I mount it to my pc again the recovery.img and update.zip folders are inside and nothing else.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Not sure what's up with your sdcard issue, but you could always just write the recov directly and bypass the sdcard:

On G1:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

On PC:

adb push /path/to/recovery.img /system/recovery.img

On G1:

cd system

flash_image recovery recovery.img
[G1 Android Development] ShaffersMyHomie:
When I type "adb push /home/stephen/Desktop/recovery.img /system/recovery.img" I get bash: adb: command not found. Also, I am running Ubuntu 8.10 if that would make a difference.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
In terminal, you have to cd into the directory where adb is found. It's probably easiest to put the recovery.img in the same directory as the adb file.

Try this:

adb remount

adb push recovery.img /system/recovery.img

that should work.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
adb is a part of the Android sdk. If you haven't downloaded the sdk before, you'll need to do that.
[G1 Android Development] ShaffersMyHomie:
Alright now I keep getting error: device not found even though I have mounted my g1.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
You have to turn on debuging by going into settings->applications->development->debug

[G1 Android Development] ShaffersMyHomie:
Ok well I switched over to windows because Ubuntu was getting annoying and I installed sdk and everything and now when i enter "adb remount" I get remount failed: Operation not permitted. And if I put in "adb push recovery.img /system/recovery.img" I get failed to copy 'recovery.img' to '/system/recovery.img': Read-only file system.

.theme is VGA its all on one page, just a dock for every element.

Prerequisites:::::

of course Wisbar Desktop Advance 2

And for sms to work make sure mortscript is installed(here) and with a registry program create the registry key 'HKLM/Software/ThrottleLauncher/Messaging'

Usage:::

Slide up/down to show/hide bottom dock

Slide right for contacts dock, slide left for Applications dock

Taskbar is hidden on defualt, tap the date underneath the clock to launch the start menu/show taskbar. Or if you need the taskbar just enable on the page, the theme will not be affected[/SIZE]

tapping the "Updated..." on the weather page will update the weather

there is a notification tab for email, notification counters for sms and appointments, and notification bubbles that pop up for missed calls and voicemails (as these need your attention the most I'd think). they all hide when count is 0

Instructions:::

The Overlay Black zip is the whole theme folder ripped from my phone. unzip the file then copy the Overlay Black folder into themes inside of the WAD program folder (Program files/lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/themes/)
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:

tapping the "Updated..." on the weather page will update the weather

LET ME KNOW IF ONE OF THESE ARE WORKING FOR YOU

The Overlay White zip is the whole theme folder ripped from my phone. unzip the file then copy the folder into the themes folder inside of the WAD program folder

OR

This looks really nice especially since there is no taskbar!! Going to try it out now...

EDIT: Looks amazing....using it on my diamond so it looks really sharp!!

^^thanks. Glad its working
[Windows Mobile Themes] frankbnj84:
anykind of messaging notifications? calls?

great idea man looks awesome keep going with it add more features
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:
yes. sms, email, and missed calls
[Windows Mobile Themes] norkoastal:
Theme looks nice and clean... im having issues lookin at incoming texts on my fuze the screen goes all white. great job !
[Windows Mobile Themes] unga89:
any chance of a qvga version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:
just sounds like the "messaging" app is in a different location than on my phone. no biggie. Put WAD into author mode and long press on the sms link, select properties, then select script, hilight "launch a program" and edit it to point to whatever messaging app on your phone you want.
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:
no sorry, i have no qvga device. Easy port for someone though because they arent many images used for the theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] norkoastal:
Thanks.. I still have to get used to Author mode ;)... Any plans on making any side to side launching from the Today screen? I'm thinking Opera/text app or another heavily used program..

QVGA

QVGA of this glorious, yet amazingly simple theme.

Have a nice day. :)

For those new to WAD2, this is a great theme to learn to how to use its limitations to your advantage.
[Windows Mobile Themes] unga89:
you made my day! ..

but the "dock" is empty!

how can i solve this problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:
WOW thankyou for the compliment and of course the QVGA port. Much appreciated:D

yea author mode isnt as hard as you think, this is my first theme. I have 2-3 new ones im currently working as well.

If youd like the slide gesture to launch a program that is easy to do yourself. In author mode long tap on the background, go to page, then properties, select gestures and there you can customize the slide up/down/left/right gestures to "launch a program" or do pretty much anything else you want
[Windows Mobile Themes] oscarbum:
You're quite welcome. And thank you for the simplistic nature of the design. I was actually able to build the QVGA on top of your original. Didn't have to start from scratch.
[Windows Mobile Themes] norkoastal:
Is anyone else having issues getting the theme to auto launch after a soft reset? I'm wondering why they didn't make a today plugin check box like the other themes Ive used.
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:
sounds like program issues more than anything.

long click on the homscreen and go to settings to make sure that "detatch from today screen" is NOT checked. also check the wakeup tab to see if its checked to run on soft reset
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] luke6283:
Maybe I'm blind but is there a way to set my fuze so it loads up the images in my emails without me clicking on "pictures were blocked" I've looked through all the settings. Is there a registry edit that i could do? I'd like to think a simple thing as this would be editable. Let me know please. I tried searching but wasn't able to word it correctly i guess. seems every post has the word "image" or "show" Thanks again
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] luke6283:
No one has any idea on this?
[Touch Cruise General] khurram41:
Hi Guys I hope somebody can help me. When I turn off the phone by Command Manager pressing toggle & when I want to switch it on by pressing same it shows as working but after a few seconds it does nothing & shows the same offline mode & I have to restart to get it connected to the network. Even after changing from ROM 6.0 to 6.1 professional the problem still exists. I'm using original O2 6.1 professional ROM. Please let me know if there's a fix. Thanks!
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
1st, the comm manager isn't command, but communication manager...

2nd it sounds like there's some problem with the device itself (HW error), check for warranty
