Indian Newspapers version 2.1 published
Today I have published 2.1 version of Indian Newspapers and magazines. The new version has material (ish) design, search feature, favorite tab and many many more papers and magazines.
The app has improved ui and hopefully better ux. I searched online and obtained a large list of regional language magazines and have added them. Earlier versions had only Hindi and English magazines.
today and read on…
Developer name
All these days my apps had the developer name as “Bilekal Hegde” – Bilekal being my birth place. Now I feel I need to give my own name as the developer. As it becomes easier for some one to look up my apps.
So now the developer name for all my apps – existing and future will be “Usha Hegde”.
Indian Newspapers and Magazines version 2.01 released
Version 2.01 of Indian Newspapers and Magazines is published.
The latest version has better UI, many more regional papers. But you need not scroll through all these papers to get yours. You can customize and display only the papers you need using MORE button.
Many of us like to read some gossip about celebrities, know about upcoming films etc. So the new tab Entertainment is added to the app.
The feature to add your own newspaper or magazine is reintroduced. You tap on + in top action bar and you provide name and web address of the paper.
Download the app at google play.
Akshara v 1.2 released
I am happy to inform that new version of Akshara keyboard has been released to google play on 27th March 2015.
The new version has 3 themes instead of 4. But they are better !.
Previous version would crash if the number of words saved exceeded some value. This bug has been fixed.
You can also easily add ್ to your text even while using transliteration by pressing q.
And the bug which would stop the keyboard from working properly in browser of mail has also been fixed.
Feel free to write your feelings and comments.
New version of Akshara released
According to studies, our happiness is maximum, when the event touches all of five senses. Hence I tried in the new version to improve the UI elements as well as add sound to key clicks.
Of course, you can disable key sound if you do not want your boss to know that you are mailing/messaging. 🙂
Look at these and tell me, isn’t this keyboard pretty?
Buy the app at google play

The new version has regional language papers. There are newspapers in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and of course English.
The app gives you regional papers and national papers, business papers and sports papers.
There are also few magazines like Outlook, India Today, Femina, Savvy, Business Today, iDiva, Sunday Indian , Panchajanya, Chitralekha and Dastak Times and CineBlitz
Because of suggestions about UI incompatibility, I have only included papers with WAP sites.
In this version of the app, you can save interesting pictures from papers in your phone.
New version of test your memory released
I have released new version of test your memory app. The name has been changed to memorypro.
This version has memory game with playing cards. The cards are all shown face down. You should tap two cards at a time. If they match, they are cleared from the screen. If not they are reversed back. This is very challenging for your memory.

Kannada font rendering problems
Recently my spouse bought a micromax canvas hd phone. And of course I installed my kannada IME onto it. Being android 4.1, Kannada and Hindi font were already present. But to my shock, the conjunct characters (ottaksharas and ballis) were not displaying properly. Hindi font was OK.
Little bit of research and I came to realize that, the complex rendering of Indic scripts is not done on all android phones. Only LG optimus one and most of the Samsung phones sold in India come with such support. Hence these phones display Indian fonts properly. Other phones with android version ICS and above display Indian fonts correctly in browser but not in text messages or notes etc.
As I tested my programs on Samsung phones, I hadn’t so far realized the problem.
What is the solution? If you buy phones in India, buy Samsung phones. 🙂 Or buy a Jelly bean phone. Again according to android developer site, Jelly bean supports complex glyph rendering of Indic languages.
Developing a new math game
Currently I am working on another math puzzle. My intention here is to let the app test user how fast he/she is in basic mathematical operations.
Again it is going to be simple in UI without any fancy animation etc. Will it be too simplistic? I am not sure. But let me complete it and look at the response.
The test your memory app is OK. But looking back now, I should have done some research for the title. This is too generic, and there is already one popular game by similar name.
