TODOIST For Android — Some development updates and screenshots
by Drew Dahl on Jul.11, 2010, under Projects, Todoist for Android
Well, the first beta release is looking like it’ll be today or tomorrow. It will incorporate only a 7-day view (with overdue tasks as well) and at current, you won’t be able to “complete” tasks with it, but if you’re lucky, I’ll be able to squeeze that in before I release it
There are just a few bugs here and there to fix, but I don’t foresee any major issues. As always, here is a current screen shot of the app in action:
If you have any suggestions on the current interface, please be sure to let me know! I’m thinking a little vertical spacing is needed and the project listings on the right should have a bit of padding, but that’s all I can say for sure.
Anyway, on to development updates! We’ve switched repositories from a locally hosted Mercurial repo to a github hosted Git repository. You can see the repository here.
And the final update! We’ve moved from our trac installation to using bugzilla to handle all of our issue tracking. That said, once the application is out, if you notice any issues with it, feel free to submit a bug report through the interface, or create an account on our bugzilla installation and report it! You can find out bugzilla installation here.
That’s all for today! If you don’t see our first beta release tonight, expect one on Monday (Tuesday at the latest!)

Oh, and I just realized the task dates look like they’re off, but they aren’t. I created the tasks w/ names like “July 9″ and “July 11″ a while ago to test, and then started moving them around.
So, the tasks ARE being put in the right spots!

So uh, why are you doing this beta if its not possible to complete tasks even? D: That seems like a major feature. If you’re just seeing how it reacts to being on various phones before doing tons more work on it, that’s good and dandy then. =)

It will be able to complete tasks
No worries, Matt

My apologies for it being a little later than expected (although, technically I believe I did say Monday or Tuesday… not which Monday or Tuesday
haha)
Alex has been writing quite a bit of code (I’m going to Boston this week, but once I’m back, I’m going to start working on additional UI functionality for adding tasks, projects, and other things).
As for the release, some work related issues keep coming up, but there’s only one minor detail I need to resolve before I release it. I’ll be leaving for Boston tomorrow morning, but I’m hoping to find some downtime once I’m there to finish off the beta. (I’m really eager to release the beta ^_^ )
Anyway, thanks for all the interest Lesley!

Any updates on this project? I’m looking for a good Todoist app for my Eris and yours is promising.

Nothing too major yet. I’ve been getting hammered since the last update as far as school and work goes (40+ hours a week at work + 17 credits), so that’s why there’s been a lack of updates. My apologies on that, as I’d love to finish my vision for this application. Also, if you’re a developer, feel free to give us a hand. The repo is here: http://github.com/DrewDahl/Todoist-for-Android
