Development News

@weeto:

Thank you for this notification, but this is one of those websites, who list only the apps from the android market and link to the apps in the market.

This application is no more in the market for 2-4 weeks, because of me.

But thanks !

...

New development news:

Today I finished the new scoreboard layout, that is necessary for next improvements in future versions.

Screenshot:

Changes in Version 1.3:

- Widget, that displays device number and rank

- some bugfixes

- settings screen with some setting possibilities (will be enhanced in future versions)

I hope you like the news ;-)

Attention:

From now on all people who have 0 devices will be not shown in the scoreboard and in the whole ranking statistics !

I made this decision, because there are more than 50 % of users who have 0 devices, so it makes no sense to display them in the ranking statistics !

Greetings !
[Android Apps and Games] Pegart:
Why aren't you putting this game on the Market?
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
@Pegart:

Simple answer. I have to pay 25 $ to put my application on it. Currently I'm on the way to open a new ledger, that is only for applications. So in future the app will surely be on the market. But not at this time.
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Version 1.3 is ready to release.

Homescreen widget is still in development but reached beta status!

I will release the new version, when i have the money to pay the registration fee for the market. So this next version will be available in Android Market.

Please make a donation to support this!!! Thank you!!!

Hello,

Do we lose all devices which we have scanned for V12
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
No, all your user data will be there in v1.3, that you had in 1.2! ;)

Greetings. :)
[Android Apps and Games] flowerpower.nl:
Ok, let's bring version 1.3! :-)

sponsored with $ 5,-
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
At first I would like to thank flowerpower.nl for the donation ! :)

And second I want to give you some Strings to translate !!! ;)

You know I'm not someone who can speak all languages.

So it would be really nice, if some would take the part as translator for his own language ! More languages is better ! :)

Here the strings to translate:

<string name="str_Main_FoundDevices">Found Devices:</string>
<string name="str_Main_Ranking">Ranking:</string>
<string name="str_Main_YourName">Your name:</string>
<string name="str_Main_CopyRight">This game is FREE ! Get it from XDA.</string>
<string name="str_Main_Level">Level</string>
<string name="str_Menu_Scoreboard">Scoreboard</string>
<string name="str_Menu_Settings">Settings</string>
<string name="str_Menu_Hide">Hide</string>
<string name="str_Menu_Close">Close</string>
<string name="str_Scoreboard">Scoreboard</string>
<string name="str_Settings">Settings</string>
<string name="str_Settings_Vibrate_title">Vibrate on found device</string>
<string name="str_Settings_Vibrate_summary">Should the device vibrate when the game finds a new device ?</string>
<string name="str_Settings_Scroll_title">Scroll to your name</string>
<string name="str_Settings_Scroll_summary">Should the Scoreboard scroll to your name when you open it ?</string>
<string name="str_Settings_Info_title">Information</string>
<string name="str_Settings_Preferences_title">Preferences</string>
<string name="str_Message_NewDeviceFound">New Device Found</string>
<string name="str_Message_BTNotAvailable">Bluetooth is not available.</string>
<string name="str_Message_BTNotAvailableAppClose">Bluetooth is not available. The application will be closed.</string>
<string name="str_Error_NotAvailable">Not available.</string>
<string name="str_Main_PleaseDiscover">Please discover 1 device.</string>

It would be really nice, if there are some people who want to support the development of this game. :)

All users who have translated the strings and sent me back per PM (!!!), surely will be mentioned in the games new "First Use Dialog" and in the new "Info" of this game !!!

So thank you for your supporting !!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Fr!fti:
Finnish translation is waiting at your pm inbox :)
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Here is the list of languages, that are currently translated.

I would like to say thank you to the user, who have translated into a language. :)

Greetings!!!

Please correct Slowak to Slovak :)

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Sry, about this mistake! :x
[Android Apps and Games] DJFliX:
Maksl5! I recently got a Motorola Atrix (running 2.2.1). Apart form my score that is vanished (I'm back at the 2xxx's again :'() the phone reboots after a few minutes of use. I also noticed that in your application my notification light turns magenta/pink. Sometimes it flickers, sometimes it's on steadily. Do you have any idea what could cause this? Do you use any kind of led notifications in your program?
[Android Apps and Games] KernelCrap:
This actually sounds nice :D
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
That sounds very strange. :/

I don't have implemented any LED notification code in this game.

So it can't be come from this application. :/

It would be nice, if you could send me a video that shows, how you open the game.

Otherwise, is all working ?

What sounds nice ? :/
[Android Apps and Games] Hambonz:

Hehe,... Nice! :-) Keep him motivated! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Hope you like the new UI ;D
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
So, i hope you like the new appearance, which fits now perfectly to my website.

I need more translations !!!

For example:

- Italian

- French

- Spanish

For a list of the translations, that are finished, please look at the first post.

Thank you !
[Android Apps and Games] Marc.:
Is there any way for me to help you with this? I really like it! And I want to help :)
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
Just wanted to drop in and say how much I like this game. Great work! I noticed this thread earlier, but didn't try the game until today where I scanned about 350 devices on an extensive walk through Dresden.

Leveling up is a nice idea. Maybe you could extend that with rewards or "achievements". For example: Scan 350 devices in 5 hours :D

Too bad you don't need a German translation for obvious reasons. I could have helped with that
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
I, or we all, you, who likes this game can help to make it more popular :) it's by you!

Since Monday I was in Training camp. So my developments have paused. In the next days I also have some exams ... So please don't be angry with me, when the development of version 1.3 is not as fast as usual of other developers, who surely have much more time than me. :x

But I hope you are true to me, so there are no problems.

Some hints:

- Achievements are planned :)

- UI is completely reworked. :)

- I also have the idea to integrate a similar "game" only with finding wifi devices ^^ But this is in the stars, it's only an idea.

What do you think about it?

Regards!
[Android Apps and Games] subworx:
My "Scan Most WiFi" game ;)) is in skeleton stages only, got the idea right after I first installed SMBT :P
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Then you had the same idea :D

Wish you luck for your game!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Hi all,

I'm coming back with new development information. I wrote all exams now and have more time to care about version 1.3.

At the time I'm working on the achievements feature and I have to say, that the User Interface is completely done. All things to do are, to notify the user for an reached achievement and to make the conditions, like there are written in the achievements. For that look at the screenshoot. :)
[Android Apps and Games] hybrid2102:
Italian Translation waiting in your pm inbox :)

- hybrid -
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
Good idea to unlock the game's features with the achievements. Can't wait for the update.
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Hi!

I like this "Game"! I install it yesterday and it makes a lot of fun.

The Wifi idea is great!

Here some of my Ideas:

A timestamp: Last device found at p.e. 15:00 clock

Option to set vibrate on/off if new device found (So you can leave it in your poket and feel if new device found)

Show the rank from to rank p.e. | Up to 100/325
[Android Apps and Games] flowerpower.nl:
hm... looks like SMBD is dead? :(

I bought a new phone and i'm going for the 1st place again. ;)

When could we expect an update to v1.3 ?
[Android Apps and Games] Hambonz:
:o finally got myself a 'proper' android phone rather than NITdroid on a Nokia.

So question is: how do I retain (restore ?) my SMBD details/score on my new phone ?

Sry guys, but at the moment, surely you noticed, the development is paused. There are many resons for that, i want to explain. ATM, I haven't any Android device, so development is not possible. In addition my computer isn't working anymore. The only electrical device, with it I'm now writing is an iPhone. So for sure I want to let you know, that when I will get the possibilities back to develop this game further, I will do it also ! I'm also thinking about a version for iOS. I think the Android users would also make profit of this.*

I hope you're not too angry, therefore I promise the new 1.3 update of Scan Most Bluetooth Devices will come !

@DriVAnce: Thank you very much, I will notice it for later ! ;)

SMBD is not dead ! There will be an update to 1.3 ! Development is only paused for unknown time.

Greetings !!!
[Android Apps and Games] Marc.:
I still hope we can get v1.3 before new year...

And I subcribed to this thread...
[Android Apps and Games] manu44:
well thats a cool game to try..thanxs dev
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
@manu44: Thank you very much ! :)

@Marc.: Thank you very much for your faithfulness. I'm thanking all for your faithfulness, also they, who are only looking in this thread for some time.

I bring new good news to you. Tomorrow I will go to the shop and pick up my new Motorola Xoom. That only means, that my biggest problem is solved. My computer is now at the repair service. Hoping I will get it back next week.

Then the Christmas holidays are coming and for sure I will work hard to get the 1.3 update ready to releasing as christmas gift.

Hope you're happy about the news. I will notify you here about further development progress.

Greetings, your Maks !
[Android Apps and Games] ArmorD:
The idea seems fun. I'm sure there is no games like this! :) Will try it tomorrow.

[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Hi guys,

I wanted to ask you, if you already updated to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

This would be a really useful and decisive for the further development.

Because, when almost all users have updated, I could focus on making the game Android 4.0 compatible. That would mean, that I would implement the new Action Bar for the 1.3 update, which is much more userfriendly.

Please post !

My computer is coming at the beginning of next week. Hard work is coming. Also now I'm working hard, to understand all new elements of the new Android, to know them, so it's easier and faster to implement them.

If the update will be 4.0 compatible, there will be no support and compatibility for Gingerbread (2.3) and under.

Greetings.
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Cool version 1.3 but i get the error message "Anwendung nicht installiert" can you help me?

You can write german in a PM. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Marc.:
If you want to install it your score will be gone, first you get the message can't install application. Then you have to delete the game, and reinstall the update. But then your score is again 0, so my score is again gone...

And translation is coming.
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
I uninstall the old one and make how do you write here. Now the game starts, search for the leaderboard and crashed.

Damn my scores away and the game doesn't run. I am sad now.

:confused: :(
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Is this a general problem ? Hope not. This was not the idea behind it...
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
No one answered!
[Android Apps and Games] hellcatt:
How do you change from the ugly orange and white screen?

[Android Apps and Games] hybrid2102:
my name is in a screenshot on xda... COOL! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Hello guys,

got 3 news updates ready for today.

1st:

The searchingstate-feature is now succesfully integrated and enabled. From now on you have the possibility to see the searchingstate of each user listed in the Scoreboard. If the user is inactive for 5 minutes, he will no more showed as "Searching...". Of course you only have this feature enabled after reaching the appertaining achievement.

2nd:

There were huge problems for people who were new to the game. After founding some devices, the app got the first server answer and crashed. This problem could get fixed without a client update. It was a server script problem, that occured because of the Info "Update 1.3 is released ! Look at the XDA forum !" was not handled exactly by the app. This problem is now fixed and I hope you are enjoying your searches ! Get a good chaser !

3rd:

The updating problem from 1.2 to 1.3 could NOT get fixed !!! This is a fatal signing error of the Android's signing system. For all those, who doesn't want to loose their score, please make a backup of the application data of Scan Most Bluetooth Devices, for example in Titanium Backup (An App in Android Market for rooted Phones.). Then uninstall the old 1.2 version and install the 1.3 version. After that, restore your backup of the application data of Scan Most Bluetooth Devices and you're done ! This is only for advanced users !!! It's a workaround, not a solution, so hoping this fatal error will not come back again in future updates ! Kindly excuse any inconvenience.

Please dear translators ! I need your translations for the new strings !!! It's very important to get the strings ready for version 1.3.1.

Thank you all for your nice support !

Greetings !
[Android Apps and Games] Marc.:
This are all the strings to Dutch, I hope you'll include my translation. About a few things Im not sure yet, but that are things that I only could check where it would be placed in the game. If you send a copy with this translation I can check it fully to be 100% sure,for now this is the dutch translation.

And I'll start scanning today again! :)

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

Oh, and thanks for the development update!

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

And I found the first bug in 1.3, if you go to info youĺl get text, but it starts with 'this game sends....' it just skips a part of the text...
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Idea:

Use this site to get the Hersteller of the device. http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/

You can use the first six strings from the Bluetooth MAC Adress.

And show it on the popup window.

:D

New development info:

Today I've done almost all UI and layout changes, that are necessary for Android 3 & 4.

This means, there will be no more a menu, but the new action bar, which supports more individuality and usabilty for each feature. In the next days I will amplify the integrity of the action bar into Scan Most Bluetooth Devices and will try to make the most of it.

In consequence of the possibilities of the action bar, there will be new filtering and searching options for the scoreboard. This will only be available for users, who have Android 3 & 4, because the action bar is the new feature of these Android versions.

Here is a screenshot:

If nobody is wanting to help with the translations, I can't include any translations in future versions and so the translations are fragmentary.

Please dear users, dare to hand in some strings.

Thank you !

Greetings !
[Android Apps and Games] Marc.:
Looks great! I cant wait :)

I still hope that others also translate...

Send with my Nexus S.
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Sorry guys, I have bad news for you.

Copy of the news on the Facebookpage:

At least I'm doing good development progress.

Yesterday and today I made some code correction and major bugfixes.

Scan Most Bluetooth Devices 1.4 should run as smooth as never felt before.

Greetings !
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
Glad to see you're still on it. I haven't played for a long time, but will start again eventually. It's just too much fun walking in-between stopping trams to get a handful of new devices
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Why can't store this on a webserver.

Can we write per PM?
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Ok, for those who don't want to loose their data at next update and with that their score, I bring now the first part of the solution into the public.

It's a simple app, which uploads the application data on a webserver.

So please before you download, read through these steps !!!

1. It's necessary, that you have installed SMBD 1.3 before you can proceed !

2. It's necessary, that you have registered to the games server !

3. The SMBD BackupApp won't work, if you haven't opened the settings in Scan Most Bluetooth Devices once !!! So please be sure and open up SMBD and go to the settings screen !

4. After that install the SMBD BackupApp. (Don't worry, it's desired and needed, that the BackupApp will override the existing SMBD app ! DON'T uninstall SMBD manuelly. This will delete your score !)

5. Open up the newly installed BackupApp.

6. If your User Id is shown correctly (not 0), you can proceed and click the button to backup ! Be sure, you are connected to the internet and you have a stable connection !

7. If everything goes well, you will see that the text under the button will become green.

IMPORTANT:
8. Note down the displayed User Id AND Password, so you can access the created backup later !

9. Now you are finished, with creating the backup for the next oncoming version release !

If the time is right, I will release the RecoveryApp, so you will be able to recovery your saved backup with the new version of SMBD !

I hope you are liking it. The Download is in attachment.

If you want to see screenshots, please tell me !

Development News:

The search feature for the scoreboard is now completely integrated and also the achievement to change the base color is completely implemented. All things to do are only to adjust the layout to the different screen sizes of the many devices out there and to update new strings to be not hardcoded any more.

You can also notice a slightly better performance while retrieving the ranking data from the server !

Thank you for your support !
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:

For this, there is an extra app, too.

Here are the steps:

1. Download the SMBDRecovery app, that is in the attachment of this post.
2. Install the app. (It is not relevant, if you've already updated to the new versionof SMBD or not.)
3. Open it and enter your saved ID and password, that you got from the backup app.
4. Click on the button and be sure, that you are connected to the internet !

DON'T uninstall the SMBDRecovery app, install SMBD over it !
