Today I have pushed the v1.6 release of the Joind.in Android app to the market. A lot of things has changed, so it probably would have been more suited to rename it to v2.0. Here is a list of changes, plus a simple manual on usage.

What has changed:

  • It is compiled against the android v1.6 SDK.
    Be not confused with the v1.6 version of the application. They are 2 different things. Android phones that still run on the android SDK v1.5 or lower cannot used this new application. I might be able to compile a separate release if people are willing.
  • Implemented gravatars and event logos.
    Event logos and user gravatars are shown. You can set this off in the preference screen if you like.
  • Realtime search in event
    The event tabs have a search-toolbar on the bottom to quickly search specified events.
  • Sorting of evens
    You can sort events on title or date in both ascending and descending order.
  • Favorite list
    You can add events to a favorite list (another tab on the main event page). Done by long clicking on an event and selecting “add to favorite”.

Update:

An v1.6.1 update is out. This would take care of proxy-servers that doesn’t like the “Expect: 100-Continue” header during a POST request to the joind.in website.
