Who Will Be King? Colour update

ampers Leave a comment

Most nights with my boys we use a book for a devotion with some activates. The last book we used came with the Who Will Be King booklet. In that I noticed that they had updated the colours of the Gospel presentation, along with their website.

Yesterday, while on the mend from a cold, I thought I might try and see how good ChatGPT is for coding. So, using that to help I update the targetSDK for this app to be the latest and added in some colour changes for each panel of the Gospel presentation. ChatGPT was pretty good in helping, although some of the code it gave me was a little off. Overall I think it saved me a bunch of time. I also used it to help me integrate git into Android Studio, and linking it to my bitbucket repos which was something I wanted to do, but never got round to doing it. It’s authentication method was a lot easier to set up than bitbucket’s own SourceTree, so I probably won’t be using that any more.

It has been about five years since I have last updated this app, so on the store front I had to agree with a whole bunch of other polices, but now it should work on newer phones. I also updated the images to be a bit better quality and fixed a view setting in the night mode.

The new update is waiting for approval on the Google Play store but can be downloaded on this website.

Who Will Be King? 2.0.1

Since I had done most of the leg work with the Two Ways To Live app, it didn’t take much work to port it to this app.

I did, however, forget to put a heading on the intro screen, but only noticed after I had uploaded it to the Google Play store. This meant I had to re-roll a new APK file and which had to have a higher version than the last. So the new version, with the new heading is now v.2.0.1. No one will get version 2.0

The new update is on the Google Play store as well as on this website.

Google has reset the minimum target for all of their apps on the play store. So today, since it was too cold to go outside, I thought I would re-roll a few of the easier apps in a new SDK. I also played with using Android App Bundles for publishing the final versions to the play store and I got to re-setup my development environment on my new PC.

The following apps now have a target for Android 10 (one version higher than the current minimum).

There are no visual improvements to these apps, which I think most of them now need. I would like to update them to a more material design (except for the Australian Daily Prayer app), but I do need to find that time. They also all have a swipe out menu from the left, and in Android 10 you can now make that gesture to mean “back”. Still, I was happy to see a few thousand active installs (devices online in the last 30 days) using my apps.

Hopefully, I will also get on and update my last two apps (OpenSpritz Bible and Inductive Bible Study). These ones are more functional than the others, and I do have more updates I would like to do. But the main issue is finding the time. Maybe we need more cold snaps.

Like always you can also find the updated APK files for these on this website.

Who Will Be King? targetSdkVersion API 26 update

While this app was meant to be updated last because of its placement in the alphabet I jumped to this one because Google pulled it from the Play store. This was because this app is aimed at kids and it didn’t have a privacy policy. Anyway, I quickly whipped up this fantastic privacy policy and added that to the meta information on the Play store. So, while I was at it, I recompiled this using the Oreo SDK libraries.

The app is now up on Google Play and this site. It is currently pending on Amazon.
