I'm very busy too, i must prepare my appartment for a child comming in some months. Maybe i can do it quick but i'm not familiar with REST API. What is the goal and what does this api bring ?
I just have to parse the html source to have all the information i want.

Congrats! I guess this is an exiting moment in your life. Wish you the best of lucks!

And now for something completely different... The API lowers the complexity of the app while keeping the hard work in a separate server, making changes more atomic and smaller binary sizes. Oh, and if you request an XML, CSV or JSON from the API it will have less impact in the wireless network carrier fees (less kilobytes to receive).

The only downside of Remote-API-Based apps is that you absolutely require to communicate with the server to update the status. Which is the same, since you're already bound to network availability anyway. :P

Thanks, yes it is

For the api, it will be nice but i must find a little time. If i do it, it's not in the next few days. I don't remember were but it still exist on a web site, with xml ouput. Maybe we can download the file.

Big changes for beta8.7 avaible on the market. It run a service to avoid the phone to kill the application and give some strange reports.
Must be tested a little but it looks good.

You can get the boss respawn times as time stamp, but you net a regnum-fans.de account:
http://regnum-fans.de/api/api.php?us...time=timestamp

insert your username, your password, the format (json, ini, csv). Look on the API page for information (you can translate it with google). Please mention regnum-fans.de when you use it.

I tried to run the install of the package from the market place and it failed today for v beta0.8.7.

error:

"package file was not signed correctly"


EDIT: nvm a bit of googling and I came upon a suggestion to uninstall the old one then install from marketplace.
That fixed the error.

I'm getting an error on my Nexus One with Android 2.1 -update 1. It keeps crashing.

Edit: I don't know what changed but it is now working for me too. Cool app. Thanks!

Posted a comment. I'd also like to suggest a few features:

- A widget version
- Allow user to set notifications for specific forts if taken by an enemy realm.
- Use labeled maps like the one from Inquisition with zoom enabled on the main app.
- Remove the quit confirmation dialog on exit. Android does it well enough IMO. Pressing the "Home" button should minimize the application, while pressing "Back" should exit it.

I think I found out why it crashes on my Nexus. It seems to crash whenever there are problems accessing the internet. Whenever my internet connection slows to a crawl or drops off totally, the application "terminates unexpectedly".
