Bitcoin Forum

I recently published my first Android app, VirtEx Bitcoin, to the Play Store and thought some of you Canadian speculators would like to be constantly updated on bitcoin prices from your Android smartphone  ;)

SWEET!

now i need an Android phone

very cool

i would like to see Best Bid & Ask tho

My new hero!!!! :D

Cant for the life of me find the virtex widget..
Got the virtex icon..  of course.. but....


Im using a galaxy nexus google phone..

Any help would be appreciated

totally gonna check this out, just today I got all excited seeing 6.70 on my mtgox app, only to check virtex site when I got home to see I would only be able to get 6.35 ..

(*edit*) - ok tried it out, very nice, much better than what I was using before, widget works well, price graph works well, but "External Orderbook and Graphs" does not work for me on Samsung Galaxy S2-X (that's the Telus version, has slightly different hardware from what I hear) --------- can't even see the virtex orderbook, let alone anything "external"

am I doing it wrong?

I had planned to implement it at first. Unfortunately, the cavirtex.com ticker API does not contain those values. There is another method that is possible but will require a bit more coding.


According to feedback I have gotten on Google Play, you might need to reboot your phone for the widget to be accessible.

I am so glad the CaVirtex people are spending their time writing iPhone apps instead of adding any sort of trading API.

Earth to CaVirtex: your spreads are huge because nobody can run automated arbitrage between your exchange and the rest of the bitcoin universe.

Ha!, good point, you are correct, thanks..

Just got this phone, new to the quirks.. but that makes a lot of sense..  got the widget now..

Thanks

Cavirtex has nothing to do with the creation of this app nor am I affiliated with them. When I saw the market lacked a proper Bitcoin app that supported cavirtex I decided it was a good opportunity to learn how to code for Android.

If you have issues concerning cavirtex you can contact them at admin@cavirtex.com.

Version 1.1 ChangeLog

- Added MtGox widget
- New Look: Added Widget exchange and currency labels
- Swapped out donations address in main menu for small ad
- Code Optimization
- In-app Orderbook with with liquidity highlighting *NEW*
       - Less than 10 BTC will appear RED
       - Between 10 and 50  BTC will appear YELLOW
       - Over 50 BTC will appear GREEN

*Note* Due to limitations with HTTPS the MtGox widget will fail to retrieve data while using 3G on some carriers. Please revert to WiFi if this occurs.

Best interface ever. Been using it since 1.0. For some reason though, recently, I've had to manually update it. I'm on wi-fi and had no issues before. But it hasn't automatically updated in a few days, even after rebooting my phone.

      Hey, thanks for your feedback. To enable the widget to refresh in intervals below 30 min I had to alter the widget refreshing code (Google locks widget refresh to 30min in the API since Android 1.6). The new code at the moment does not wake the phone up to keep the widget up to date (as it previously did in earlier versions). This in turn greatly enhances battery life although if your phone is not awake during the the time set to refresh it it will have to wait another interval.

     I plan to add a checkbox in Settings in the next version that will enable the app to wake the phone to update the widget if the user prefers this. In the meantime you can set the refresh interval to a lower value such as 10 or 5 min and you will be less likely to miss the updates.

Cool thanks.

Actually, I found a bug that kept the widget from updating automatically. Widget behavior should be back to normal. Sorry about that. The new version has just been uploaded to Google Play, it should be available within the hour.
