A quote a day? That would be nice, wouldn't it?
That's what we thought too, and that's why we created these apps.
You can use these open source apps to display personal/book quotes in your Android device. The quotes are read from text file(s) and displayed (one by one) in random order at periodic intervals (or on screen-tap).
Application to turn an Android device into a "picture frame" for displaying quotes.
Application to display your quotes in a small widget in the Android device front screen.
For documentation, see the user documentation.
All the development was done using Gradle and the android tools directly from the command line (No bloated IDEs). It's actually pretty straightforward after you get the hold of it.
-
Get Android SDK -- just the command line tools.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Avoid the bloated RAM consuming monster (Android Studio): 3GB RAM minimum, 8 GB recommended... No thanks.
-
Installing Gradle: note these applications were built using Gradle 2.10.
- Dependencies might differ for newer Gradle versions.
The Gradle build process mostly involves two commands:
- Build Debug:
gradle assembleDebug -- just the command line tools
- Build Release (signed apps with your own keys):
gradle assembleRelease
Once the application builds you can use the following bash scripts to install and debug your application.
If you need more, you can write your own little scripts, it's actually quite nice.
