MathTerms now available in the Amazon AppStore for Android

Posted on January 6, 2012 by in Android, Kindle Fire

MathTerms available at Amazon App StoreI finally finished the Android version of MathTerms.  Its my first Android app and I had my challenges learning all-things-android as well as wrestling with different versions of the Appcelerator Titanium SDK.  I spent considerable time ensuring that MathTerms would run well on different resolution tablets.  While primarily intended for the very popular Kindle Fire, I did not want to limit the app.  It does not run well on smaller screen phones, however.  It takes a bit of screen real estate to display glossary entries with images while providing search & browse functions.

Check it out at the Amazon AppStore for Android.  I could use some (good) reviews!

MathTerms on Kindle Fire

I’ve been making good progress on porting MathTerms to the Android OS with the goal of running on Amazon’s new Kindle Fire device.  It should also be able to run on the Nook when done — I hope 😉  I have most of the logic and user interface implemented.  Here are a couple of screen shots of the Android emulator running the latest.

Another screenshot can be found after the break…

MathTerms on Kindle Fire?

Posted on September 28, 2011 by in Kindle Fire

MathTerms was written using Appcelerator Titanium so that I could deploy on iOS devices or Android devices.  It does need substantial screen real estate, however, to see graphics and text — i.e. is really designed for tablets.

Amazon has finally announced the Kindle Fire.  I am in the process of porting to Android.  As Amazon hasn’t disclosed too much info to developers at this point, I can’t be sure of Android version and API level.  This should be disclosed in the next week or two.

Of course, this does not mean Amazon will accept the app into their app store!  I *will* submit as soon as possible — and we’ll see 😉
