🔢 Tally counter for Android

Hello! 👋

I used to work on open source software full time, but now it's mostly just for fun.

counter's Issues

Add a way to view and edit multiple counters

I'm imagining a view like this:

Counter Name	Value
Player 1	(-) 50 (+)
Player 2	(-) 35 (+)

(but, you know, good.)

This would be perfect for something like health-totals in games (or, for example, you could track your own various counters in a bunch of games).

Being able to have a sheets of counters saved would be incredible (so I could, for example, keep a template around for Magic, or Star Realms or whatever).

Back button is not working properly

Publish to F-Droid

Thanks for this simple (but very nice looking) app!

Since it's open source, would you consider publishing it to F-Droid (a Free and Open Source alternative to the Google Play Store)?

The existing alternatives on F-Droid are either old and ugly as 💩 or can't save counts :/

Update icon

Counter hardly visible on dark theme with landscape orientation

When the application is using the dark theme, the buttons and the counter are clearly visible because they are white on a gray background; but when the screen switches to landscape orientation, the counter is barely visible since the background is gray and the counter is black.

Add ability to change delay for hardware buttons

Show values of counters in the list

Significant number of people are requesting this feature. Seems like something that would be nice to have.

Can I Contribute a logo for counter app?

Can I contribute a logo for counter?

Counter editor doesn't have proper limits for values

It is possible to set value to be over the actual maximum or minimum. When this happens, an exception gets thrown and the app crashes.

Title is not set properly after counter is selected

Improve UI

Expand controls (+ and -) to entire screen. It will be easier to hit buttons without looking at them.
Add different themes.

TextView with value disappears after edits

Remove the upper limit

Maybe it is better to lower counter label text size when there is not enough space?

Layout of a counter is not displayed properly with action bar and navigation drawer

Update information about the app

Add new translations and update old ones

• Arabic
• Finnish

Sync counters between devices

It would be handy to have your counters appear on every device you had, your phone and your tablet. I have an idea on how to implement this which will not require developing a syncing mechanism.

Have the counters data be saved as a file onto the device. Then all is needed is for the user to use Syncthing or some cloud storage app to sync the files between devices. Thats it! Just have the counters be files and not saved within the app.

Understanding the outcomes of Google Summer of Code

Dear Roman Tsukanov,

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of São Paulo (Brazil). We would like to understand how and how much Open Source Communities benefit from participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). We believe that your experience in GSoC is valuable and could help us achieve that. In a 1-minute questionnaire, we would like to know:

Concerning the project entitled "AcousticBrainz Datasets" developed in GSoC 2015.

1. Do you have a GitHub repository for the GSoC project? If so, could you provide us with the link to the project?

2. Have you continued committing code or opening issues to the GSoC project after GSoC? (Yes / No) If so, code, issues or both?

3. Have you continued committing code or opening issues to other OSS projects after GSoC? (Yes / No) If so, code, issues or both?

4. Could we use aggregate data from your participation in GSoC and other OSS projects in our research?

The following link contains a sample of our work and how we would use your data:

Add gesture support

Gesture based controls of counters.

In settings activity, some items are deprecated

Like this, for example: addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);

It is not possible to "spam" hardware buttons because of delay

How to reproduce: Click volume up or down button quickly.

Reset button should have confirmation dialog

The reset button (lower right) should also have confirmation dialog just like the delete button.

More improvement is to remove delete and reset button out from the screen (can access over menu only), and move edit button to the upper right.

Include additional description/details to Counter app

I have been using this app for quite a while, and I have used it for several things. But while I was using it, I usually have one common issue with the counting. Whenever I want to create a count there are options for title, and value which I typically fill before I start, and when I am done counting the app save the count automatically, which is pretty good. However, I tend to forget the date I created most of the count, and the time I modified or made some changes to it. Therefore, I propose a feature that will show details information about every count, such as -Date created, last modification, and reference note.

All these functions are self-explanatory. Yet, I will elaborate.
The date created will show the time any create is initiated, and the modification is the last date any count is modified. These functions will display on the app automatically. And, note is a feature that will allow users to add a little description to the counting made on the application.

Mock up

The first image by the left side shows the initial interface of the app; while the second Image shows the suggested note feature.

The image on the right hand side is the feature that will show the detailed info about the count made on the application.

When the info button is pressed, another page will display showing the information as suggested.

These features are really needed to save users from confusion. Sometimes I get confused on the date I created some count, and the last time I made changes to them. And note will help in adding a detailed description of the count made. E.g., Today in a central commerce meeting, we talked about issues affecting the nation.
This will make the app to be complete and useful. It is a valuable feature to have.

Thank you!

Add dark color scheme

Home screen widget

There were a few requests for a home screen widget. It should probably just be a small version of a counter.

Add feature "shake device" control setting counting, without touching the screen or pressing the volume button

Components

The following are the features that I want to recommend:

• Shake device

Proposal

I propose to the app developer counter to add controls a "shake device" feature using sensitive sensors on devices that support these sensors to calculate, developers modify counter apps and add those features to the settings option controls.

Mockups / Examples

Here is an example of a visible image if the developer adds a control feature by shaking the device.

Benefits

With the shake control feature of the device to calculate, the user does not need to press the volume up or down volume or touch the screen of their device, but only by shaking the device, then the calculation starts. This is a great advantage for developers and users. Users will tell other friends, to download and install counter app.

Make it possible to increment counter by clicking on displayed value

Hide bottom part of the split action bar if navigation drawer is open

Timestamps

a timestamp could be associated to each counter.
a log of <timestamps, counter> could also keep track of the history of updates

two possible usages:

1. you always know when you last updated any given counter ("did I count the coffee I took at lunch?")
2. you get the pattern of your behaviours ("how many coffees do I drink per day?")

in any case, great app also as it is!

Bug: The app's sound does not work properly

Expected behavior
I expected that when I switch on the sound feature, every count should give a sound.

Actual behavior
When I switch on the sound feature to make some count, the sound only works once, and it does not work on a continuous count.

How to reproduce

• Launch the app
• Go to setting
• Enable sound
• Go back to the counter
• Click to count on addition
• The first count will give sound, but it won't on the others.

App version: 20

Operating system: Android 6.1

Device: Itel

Add option to confirm resetting

Copyright violation by another publisher

Hi @gentlecat

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code, made it payable and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove the false app from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

• The app is licensed under Apache license and this guy is violating it;
• He is falsely claiming he made the app;
• Also tell them that this guy has done the same thing already with other apps. Probably this is worth mentioning.

Add a way to dump all counters into plaintext

Create text file on SD-card, put info about all counters into it.

Name : Value
Some counter : 14

New logo design for the project

Hi, I want to design a new logo for the project completely free...

Let counters go below 0

First, thanks for this useful app! :)

It would be nice if counters were not limited to positive values. Just so you know by how much your count up was off if you have a chance to count down.

Use implementation of the Navigation Drawer from the Support Library

https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html

Counter removal feature is not working properly

Hide menu items created in CounterFragment when navigation drawer is open

List of counters should be ordered

Add Animation and different color themes

Thank you. Very useful app :)

Please add animation for each counts and apart from dark and light add Multiple color schemes..

add counter - no highlight

there is no highlight when add counter from the sliding menu is pressed,
i mean the highlight when a button is pressed, or one of the counters from the counter list is pressed.

is this by design?

Wrong text color in AlertDialog on older devices

Add backup functionality

Interest in adding 3 new features to this app

I am interested in upgrading this app with this 3 new features,

1. Add a search button to search the counter by the counter name
2. Add a features to set notification after a specified number is set. ex (set 5 ) once counter reached 5 it notify you.
3. To have timestamp of starting and end time of counter

Thanks for your concern.

Make buttons feel more "real"

Increment/decrement counter after touching one of the buttons, not after releasing. If button is not released, keep incrementing.

Allow to have values over 9999

Have to make sure that values are going to show up correctly.

Counter label is invisible in "Dark" theme

Add confirmation dialog for wipe option

Numbers with more than 3 characters are not properly displayed

Numbers with more than 3 characters are not properly displayed on some devices.

Counter value is barely visible on xlarge screens
