Android App Released! [UPDATEDx2]
It took a good while and many have been patiently waiting, for which we are very grateful... Today, we release a new application for Android-powered mobile phones. Just as the iPhone app this one is called "OO" and it provides basic functionality for Dolphin-based site members.
OO for Android is an important milestone as we plan to be focusing on Mobile/Touch-friendly interfaces and solutions more in the future.
A few important points:
- Android app source code and re-bradning rights are only available as part of Prime package.
- Current holders of of Prime will be getting the Android app for free.
- Contact us to upgrade to Prime with a discount if you already have some BoonEx Licenses.
- The app has a new interface, which is currently also being ported to the iPhone App.

Use this link to download, try and preview the app.
UPDATE:
We've just released a small update addressing the issues voiced in the comments:
1. Automatic URL redirection added, so it doesn't have to have "www" in the site address.
2. Changed the icon set to a more generic one (customized for the app specifically), and yet it looks a little better on different phones.
3. Fixed the crash when location page of a profile without defined location was accessed.
4. Removed "add photo" button from the album pages of other members (not own).
5. Renamed Mail to Messages for better consistency of terms and association with the icon.
- the screenshot above is updated.
UPDATE 2
- app restoration from sleep/stop/etc.
- app crash on location (additional fix)
- app crash on profile view when profile view is denied
- app crash when site URL is wrong
Also, if you're ready to offer the Android app download for your site visitors - read how to do it here:
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
Still it's great to have an Android app now. Well done on that!
I realise that Premium members can change all the styling but all the people that will hear about Boonex for the first time via the Android App from non-Premium Unity members see more
looks cool and simple...
works hot and great :)
and WP7 app?
Maemo app?
i prefer a simple mobile site :)
Maemo is now dead, right?
WP7 - we'll be developing for it as soon as catches up in market share.
still, the good thing about that is if there are some errors admins can fix it on their own
in case of android apps,ios apps etc we are handicapped then :(
when you can invest so much efforts in apps dev why dont you try to deliver a very basic, limited feature HTML5 minis site for D7.
i hope thats far better and easier to dev than apps :)
is there a test-side where i could login to test the software?
and is it recomended to have the 7.0.5 version of dolphin to use this app?
greetings

You can use oo android app with any Dolphin 7.0.x, however there are some bugs in xmlrpc interface in previous versions.
Thanks
Only suggestion I have or question rather is why did it not include Forums in it??
Also how does it work with online status, does not show you up as on line, like the Wap template does.
Would be good that one logged in and if you need to move away from the app, to give a phone call for example, you don't have to repeat the hole process of logging back in.
I have the galaxy indulge Android 2.2 and i get the same message
After all Alex has been promising an update with every D7 update!
Can you guys make a demo video for those of us that don't have an Android phone?

SUGGESTION: It would be great if the OO app could allow you to take a picture with your camera phone and upload it directly to your album and/or wall. Is this possible?
troublesome to have to tell everyone to include the www
Over all performance? Top Notch, very professional looking!

There are some problems to install apps using browser, this is not bug in the app, but some configuration problems with your google account.
