Android improvements for NeuroMind 2

The new Titanium SDK version 1.8 includes the V8 runtime for Android (previously only Rhino was available). It offers a few major improvements, I found out…

In this post I showed a runtime error that occurs when selecting a menu item for decision support. On iOS it all works fine, and I could not understand what was going wrong. It seems an obsolete question now… when compiling with the latest SDK and the new V8 runtime, it all works well. I also tested on my Samsung Galaxy S running Android OS 2.1 – no problems at all.

Select an item from the menu

Enter relevant parameters

The advise is displayed with a summary

So that works well now… Main things to do for the Android version are:

(1) create a menu button that allows you to go back to the menu (the tab bar on top disappears on Android when you’re in a decision tree, and I don’t want you to use the “go back” button all the time)

(2) have a look at the colors (sometimes the white background I programmed for the iOS version pops up in places)

(3) still in doubt: the font size on my Galaxy S is rather small due to the high resolution display. Maybe I should make it a little larger, but I have not made up my mind yet.

Most importantly, the decision logic and corresponding user interface now works as good on Android as it does on iOS!

Stay tuned for the next post on Android, it offers something even more exciting… :-)
