Lots of crashing upon photo capture on my vintage droid. I have the sdk, so give me a yell if I can help debug.


Oh no! Thanks for the help. If you just press the Report button I'll get a stack trace and that should be enough for me to solve it. The app does lots of processing in bitmaps and uses a fair bit of memory. It's possible I'll have to do some optimization in memory management to fix the issues.

Thanks for the heads up!


Wow - where can I invest a billion $ in this new paradigm changing application of super-mobile-interweb-cyber-3g-croudsourced-ninja-technology


You bring a good point to the table. DoodleCam is a joke app, meant for entertainment and without much ability to provide real value to a community.

However, I have built it in attempt to find popularity so that my real apps are able to gain more traction. I also build an open source barometer network called pressureNET that collects atmospheric readings from some Android phones. I have millions of barometer readings and I gain about 17,000 every day right now. I'm hoping to use the data to find new methods of short-term, local weather prediction, but the network is currently too small.

I've found that as DoodleCam rises in popularity, pressureNET gains too. It's a good method.

See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.cumulonimbu... for the app.


I was coming here to say the same thing (well same intent) as the original commenter and found your reply useful. It does seem like a fun joke app, and your smart for using that to your advantage. Good job!
