About this time last year my free hosted ran into some SSL issues. I ended up making my own workflow to make my own SSL certificate, with a limitation that they would only be valid for 3 months. This worked ok, but every time I would do this I would have to update a…
I first made the New City Catechism (NCC) Android app back in June 2013. I think it was first called Weekly New City Catechism. It basically displayed a simple webpage that I had made which had all the NCC questions displayed in a responsive way. The main reason I made this app was because…
I have been a little asleep at the wheel with my Android development. This is due to some personal things going on, and a laundry rebuilding project I’m doing at home. For the time being things will still be slow in this area. However, I noticed that a few milestones for total downloads have…
Hopefully I now have got the hang of Android widgets. I noticed that after the new update the questions weren’t moving: https://twitter.com/ampers_apps/status/690438087609077760 I first thought the date calculation was off by one week, but as I dug into it it seemed that it wouldn’t go back to the correct position if you opened up…
I must admit that I am a bit slack with checking in with the New City Catechism every week. But for this year I am going to try and check out each question per week (as it is intended). However, for awhile I have noticed that the widget would always default back to question…
It seems that there is a bug in the New City Catechism widget. The cause is related to the widget not finding the start date preference in the app, so it doesn’t know what question to start from. When it looks, it seems the app is not in memory and the preference can not…
I wanted to make an android widget for one of my apps for a while now, just to see if I could. Way back in August last year, on twitter I said I would start working on one after October. It seems October 2014 turned into May 2015, this was because I wanted to…
A minor update has just been pushed to the play store for the New City Catechism app. This now includes the catechism introduction in Spanish (thanks Eduardo Barrientos) and I also took out the little zoom in and out controls (if you are running higher than honeycomb). Pinch to zoom still works, but now…
The New City Catechism android app is now available in Spanish. Big thanks to Eduardo Barrientos for his translation skills. Not only is Spanish added to the app, it is also added to the mobile friendly site, so if someone tweets from the app, it will link back to the mobile site. Other new…
I have now finished my Bachelor of Theology, assuming I pass my last essays. Speaking of essays, I have just uploaded the one I wrote for this year (I did another pastoral care subject and since they contain personal information in them, I won’t be putting them online). Now that I am finished, I…
