    Would be nice if links to date, me and upload buttons would be bigger. also would like if i could see subscriptions. from FAQ i could see thats some how possible but i didn´t get it?

    I think you’re dealing with the 0.3 version! Checkout http://androblip.huiges.nl/2010/05/09/version-1-0/ for the currently newest version.

    In that version you have 1 button to change view (you get a popup) because of the issue you just mentioned.. The buttons where way to small :) Also, the option for subscriptions is in that menu :D

    First thumbs up for this project. I was looking for an easy way to blip on the go.
    I downloaded the 1.0 version from the download section on this website. When opening the file on my HTC Hero (Android 1.5), I am getting the following error:

    Parse Error
    There is a problem parsing the package

    Does Androblip need a newer Android version?

  4. ennaN says:

    Well, it has been developped for 1.5, but only the virtual devices run this: our ‘real’ devices run 1.6 and 2.1.

    Let me try to replicate this, i’ll get back to you on this.

  5. David says:

    Update.
    The problem was not in Andoblip, but in the way I tried to install it.

    Do not try to install a .apk file when you received it as E-Mail attachment. Always use the web browser, or copy it to your memory / SD-card.
    Looking forward to my first android mobile blip.

    Oh, here you are! The Google Code page disappeared completely, so I didn’t know where the project had moved to.

    Loving the new look and feel of 1.1… hopefully now I can get back into Blipping properly! Thank you.

    Thanks for this :) worked nicely! !

    Just a small cosmetic “bug” I actually just noticed: the thumbnail pages are just a fex pixels to large for my HTC magic screen. Meaning that I can scroll a few pixels up and down on those screens. Looks funny, but nothing serious.

  9. Nanne says:

    Thanks, we’ll be looking in to dealing with various display sizes a bit better :)

    Hi guys,

    I heard about Blipfoto a while ago, a friend recommended it today & your app was a reason I signed up, I love my Android phone!

    I’ve downloaded the free version cos I often sign up for these things then leave them but if I manage a week, I’m buying the Market version! Great app so far :D Love the response / toast messages!

  11. Nanne says:

    If you happen to leave this app, please just drop us a line so we know what to work on :D

  12. Herr Klantz says:

    Nice work my friend! I’m so happy! The Blipfoto gang seems a bit into appleapps. Thanks!

    I just installed this on my htc desire but cant get it to work :( authentication page just keeps refreshing so when I go to upload anything it says window time-out. Gutted.

  14. ennaN says:

    Have no fear, that sounds fixable :)
    You do have to authenticate, but there is some weird refreshing problem over at blip. There’s some more info about that on the faq (http://androblip.huiges.nl/faq/), but the quickest route is to just browse to this page on your computer:
    http://www.blipfoto.com/getpermission/493790
    If you have the same redirection trouble, you can try loggin out first, and then going to the link, or maybe loggin IN first and go to that link.
    In the end you’ll get a “do you wish to give permission” page: press ‘accept’. You have to type the 6 characters into the box on the preferences page in AndroBlip.

    Let me know if it works!

  15. biglaurens says:

    Bug(?): the back-button behaviour doesn’t close the app. Reproduce: just open the app, and press back. It tries to go back, but you’ll end up at the same page. I expected that the app is closed when you don’t have a back history and presses back.

  16. ennaN says:

    Thanks :D. This was a little mistake, i’ve allready fixed it, and it will be included in the next release :)

  17. Ronan says:

    Lovely looking app although it dumps all of its temp files in the root directory of my SD card which is very messy. Any chance the app could work within its own temp directory, preferably hidden from the OS so it doesn’t show up in the normal Android photo browser? (i.e. by putting a ‘.’ before the directory name.)

  18. ennaN says:

    0_o. That’s messy indeed!

    There where some problems that i’ve been fixing in the latest released but i see that they introduced this.
    I’ll put it on the todo for the next release, sorry bout this!

  19. Ronan says:

    No apologies needed….. you’re giving away your hard work for nothing! :-)

  20. Nanne says:

    This should be fixed in the 1.3 (life.turns) release!

  21. Ronan says:

    Just installed the new .apk (1.3) to my phone (HTC Desire)……

    I deleted all the previous temp files from the root of my SD card and opened up Androblip. All was fine. A quick check showed that it still dumped its temp files in the root of my SD card even though it had made a directory for itself to work in…. Strange…. Thinking this may be a hangover from the previous version’s preferences, I uninstalled the program completely, deleted all temp files and directory and re-booted my phone. After re-installing version 1.3 I needed to authenticate the app with the blipfoto website but the link provided in the app re-directs to the blipfoto main page. The app says that it’s looking for a 6 character token from blipfoto but the only thing I can find on the website is the my 32 character Access Code (under SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS) which does not seem to work……..

    Help!…. Have I missed something? Should the app take me to a different page on the blipfoto site?

    Now I have no Androblip…. :o(

    Sorry to go on. It was all going so well too………

    Ronan

  22. Ronan says:

    OK… Shoot me in the face… I followed the instructions above and it authenticated.

    Still stores its temp filed in my SD root though even though it has made a .aBlipCache directory.

    I’m chopping off my fingers now so no more typing…..

  23. Nanne says:

    It could be i made a mistake, we had a rough time releasing 1.3 so we could join life.turns :)

    Glad you at least have access, we’ll have to wait for a fix for the files though, as we’re in poland at the moment. I’ll post back in some time ;)
