Good start, though the feature I've found essential in this type of application is being able to share an article via a long press on the main page. I send dozens of articles to Pocket every day that way.
Good suggestion. Right now you have to go to the comment/article and there will be a share button. I can add something like that to the main page though.
If you mean configChanges, I would strongly recommend against it because it is a bad practice and it probably wouldn't work in this case anyway (no activity recreation = no multi-panel layout on a 7-inch landscape screen).
3) Opening the comments of an article in portrait mode and then going landscape on the Nexus 7 crashes the app completely (presumably due to the multi-panel mode in sw600dp+ screens?)
Apparently read your IMEI and other identifying information, which then can be sent anywhere without further permission (assuming it has network access as this app has)
I can understand the latter, in particular if in android you can't specify exactly what hosts you need to access but the former I can't understand, or better, I can't stand.
I do not want to give every app my identity, not for ads, not for money.
Smoother scrolling of comments than in most of the Hacker News readers for Android that I've tried.
I actually wonder why scrolling is so bad in most of the Android applications? Is it because of the misuse of the ListView or what?
Could perhaps show some indication when changing between front page, ask, etc. Currently selecting another view does nothing until the results are loaded and then the page changes instantly underneath.
Crashed after a few minutes of use when pressing the key for registration (I submitted the crash report).
Seems like a good start, the ads are quite irritating though :).
Nice app! If you are going to keep the ads (I'd rather pay something like $1), please show them on the frontpage compared to when I'm reading the article. Also it would be nice if it would not reload the frontpage every time I come back from reading an article.
You can remove the ads with an in-app purchase (although it looks like that part is crashing for some people) because I didn't want to have a Free/Pro app. Thanks for the feedback though!
Awesome, works really nicely on my Nexus 4. I'll definitely be using it from now on. The comment view looks a lot like my 'Reddit Now' app so that's probably why I like it so much! The transition between comments and the article is a nice touch too. 5* from me.
Is the source code available on github by chance? I've recently started delving into android and would love to study/contribute to this app if possible.
Regardless, really an excellent job overall with it.
There is a box in the page which says: "This app is not compatible with your Samsung GT-S5830C." I wonder why it isn't. I didn't know there were version specific Android apps.
Great App!! However, I still like my iOS application Hacker Pulse... BTW, this is really the best hacker news application I have ever used on my XT535.
