Imslp for android - now opensource!

Post by nicolamontecchio »

[I had posted this in the "mobile apps" forum but went almost unnoticed; I'm posting here also, hoping to get more views]

Dear all

We decided to open-source ImslpDroid and the code is available at
https://github.com/nicolamontecchio/imslpdroid
We also removed advertising from the app distributed on the market.

If you are interested in keeping the project alive, please fork the project and contribute your changes.
Even though we won't be able to dedicate much time to coding, we will be updating the market app on our account.

Right now we feel that the main drawback is that the application accesses the imslp web site and parses the html pages, instead of using the imslp API. In a few cases the application crashes when it encounters unexpected html formatting; using the API would render the app much faster in any case.
You are welcome to reply to this thread with additional ideas for improvement.

Cheers,
Nicola

I did actually notice this (on my own). Unfortunately I do not think there are many programmers amongst IMSLP contributors, but at least I do know about it, and will pass this on to any programmer that expresses an interest. I might even tinkle with it myself. Thanks for all your work on the app!
