Care to divulge any details about how you programmed it?... I'm just a little interested in android development of late and want dip my fingers in the pool.... How long did this take you... How easy/difficult was it for you to get the app onto the play store... Etc..

Noted with a NOTE

What do you code in at the moment? Will help with decision choosing a platform for Android.

I am a long time C# dev. Prior to that I did C++ and Java. My instinct when starting Android dev was Java and Eclipse. Eclipse is a downright terrible IDE so I moved on to IntellJ. Beautiful IDE to work in.
After using C# for so long I found Java too limiting. So this now became an issue. Say hello MonoDroid. Ended up going full circle and am now coding in C# in VS2010.

Hope that helps your decision somewhat

I wrote it using Eclipse and the Android SDK. I played around for a month or two before deciding to write something and stick it in the Android store.

I found the learning curve quiet steep, especially using content providers, but that's my own fault for not reading the documentation properly The app took about 24 working hours, including using my limited GIMP knowledge to create those amazing icons

The reason it took so long was because I had no plan. I was coding randomly and putting stuff in, then rewriting, removing, adding and generally being random. Once a put a plan in place it was quiet quick.

Do you code the way you spell?

Do you code the way you spell?

Me yes,
thats why its always a beeach for someone to take over any of my projects

I like to believe I code better than I spell, but my spelling in my code is pretty much the same. Thank goodness for the refactor option
