What new supported are:

1. Topic-messages of GCM.

2. Float-Action-Button new design(Coordinate-Layout, AppBarLayout etc).

WhatsUp News 1.0.2 released

Released two applications a few hours ago

    It was amazing that I released two applications of Android in just 72 hours, even an update was included after short uploading. 

    Take three weeks night and weekends affords the WhatsUp News has been completed v1.0(lately was v1.0.1).  The features including push and news-feeds parsing from faroo.com  lead the application to be unique among trees of apps in the play-store.  Of cos the backend is complete GAE by Golang and supports Google Cloud Message with topics-messages which has been announced a few days ago at Google dev-party I/O. With the new message feature I don't have to make a database local(on GAE side) to store all clients' push-tokens. Only to work is to define different topic-names and all clients only to register for these names, the rest jobs are on hang to Google, it is really cool that clients can save a lot net-traffics after submitting a push-tokens and unregister it.

   Notice: A version 1.0.2 will be submitted to store as soon as possible for a hot bug-fix associating to https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=175069

Here is link to store:

    A second application is marsTemp which provides a list of weather condition on mars. Of cos I can not get data from machine on it directly :). Ok, it is feeds from {MAAS} which converts data from NASA.  The application demos how to use Google's design library and to continue to load data functions when application-list moving to bottom.

I released a new free IT-Books App for public available.

Recent night I published a new version of IT-Books.

The new version including more feelings of Google's material-design supports new API  to let us download books directly instead of a WebView or opening external browsers.

Use Retrofit as http-client which enhances ability to internet connections.

The new API is wrapper of a external SOAP into readable JSON, more info to new API can be found here.  The new version use this API that is hosted in GAE. Of cos you can check it out and fork to your own cloud. Because of it we discard using http://it-ebooks.info/, but thanks .

Also what new of this version is that the app save bookmarks in cloud what previous versions only for local. Users can keep they permanently, thanks to a Chinese backend here to simplify my works..

In order to get more info can be found in store.

Split a sub-project from it-books to support download books directly.

Download-list of IT-Books you search.

The API is still in sandbox.

Support feature to download a book directly and search books independently from http://it-ebooks.info/
