Title: [ANN] Android Open Source Bitcoin Prices App for Indian Rupees
Post by: Benson Samuel on April 26, 2014, 10:21:47 AM
Hello All,

Here is another contribution to the Bitcoin India Community. The aim was to create something with a nice clean UI, which serves a purpose.

There are no apps in the market that caters to consolidation of various Exchanges prices in Indian Rupees.

Here is a pretty good looking Open Source App for all you people out there who need their INR fix.  ;D

The Code is available at https://github.com/coinsecure/Coinsecure-Bitcoin-Prices-App (https://github.com/bensonsamuel/Coinsecure)
Feel free to mail me any code contributions and I will test and implement.

The app can be downloaded from the play store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pricetable.coinsecure (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pricetable.coinsecure)
(Have just uploaded, may take a while to show)

If anyone wants the signed apk file to install directly, PM me. I have no problems in sharing it as well.

The prices update when the app is opened. There is no option for auto-refresh as I felt that this could be a bit of overkill for our shoddy Indian mobile internet capabilities.

In order to use the calculator, enter the BTC amount in the input box and click the refresh icon on top.

The Refresh times will be the same as on coinsecure.in, every 5 minutes.

Here are some images:

Hope y' all like it.

Best wishes,
Benson

PS: Feel free to donate. It is a lot of work to build and share. :)

This should be useful. Looks neat. Where are you pulling the USDINR rates from?

Saffron, Green & White was good representing the Indian flag. Why included violet & blue ?

I like those colors.

The awesomeness of the project is that if you do not like the colors, can always compile a new version with different colors.. :)

Its a great app !

From what i know, this app should be fine on ios as well. This is not directly used for buying selling sending receiving bitcoins - it is only the info regarding rates.

I would not be writing another native app for ios at the moment.

Sorry, did not get u. Does it mean, we need to re-code or we can do it from within the app itself ?

Change of colors is not likely to be a feature over the next few releases, so feel free to code it in.

Its quite easy in fact.
Open the SpecialAdapter.java file and change the color here:


Code:
public class SpecialAdapter extends SimpleAdapter {
    private int[] colors = new int[] { 0xFFF38013, 0xFF6FCD43, 0xFF7C5A85, 0xFF10B7F5 };

and compile.
