New Android app, and you know what, I really like it!

Can't believe how nice the 2.0 version of BT Android is! Until now, all my Android apps have been crap compared to iOS. This is not true anymore! This is an app for my son's High School football (American) team. Check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.villagrovefootball2012&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnZpbGxhZ3JvdmVmb290YmFsbDIwMTIiXQ.. Can't thank David and the rest of the BT team for all their help! Andy PS - The iPhone version is in the approval cue

Dude, that's beautiful! One of the best Android apps I've seen, hands down! So, gotta ask some questions: * The video...how did you produce that? * The screen with player stats...is that an HTML screen with some jQuery or Javascript in it? Very nice, visually striking app! Mark

Thanks! It really did turn out good, I think! The video is simply an After Effects template purchased here: http://videohive.net/item/phone-app-commercial/2457694 I saw this in the forum earlier in the week ( http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=7CDCC183A4363B3FF381A39&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=video%20promo&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= ) The roster and stats pages are exactly that, an HTML screen with a jQuery accordion. I can't find the source right now, but it's really lightweight. I will add the players pictures into it as soon as I get them from the coach. Can't wait to what we can produce once the Plug-in Market is open! Thanks, Andy

Awesome! I'll have to find the jQuery accordion code...I can think of tons of uses for that! And I might have to look at investing in After Effects! Mark

Very nice app and great promo video. I downloaded your app on my Droid Incredible and got the following error when I try to open it. I don't know why: "Sorry! The application Vila Grove Football 2012 (process com.villagrovefootball2012) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. -MDG

@MGD Thanks for the report. It did crash several times in my testing. Usually, reopening it took care of it.

@chrom .... That's called a tab layout. You can select that under Layout/Tabs.

Thanks again for the feedback on the app! The new version is live and appears to be working fine on my test device and on the simulator. I appreciate the kind words. @st726 Thank you for sharing your vid earlier!

I can only assume the update has happened in google play.... Now it's working just fine on the Samsung Galaxy SII. Love the app. I coached football for 25 years.... High School and Youth football, I was always into technology to help the program, players and coaches. You have so many options to go forward with this app. Look forward at seeing the app develope... Good Luck....

Love the video, I'm going to have to make one of these for my app. Do you have to Adobe After Effects to edit the files? It's quite expensive online. I did noticed you spelled "Android" wrong at the end of the video. Think it is spelled Andoird. Josh

Thanks for all your feedback! I've changed the app so it's available world-wide. If you'd like to try to download it again, it should work. And (@mutzy) thanks for the proof-read. I'm updating it this morning. And yes, you do need AfterEffects to edit the files. I believe you can download a 30 day trial. That would at least allow you to check it out.

Andydahl, I downloaded a template and a 30 day trial for after effects. It seems really easy to edit with the one exception of background audio. I imported a .wav file and dragged it as a new layer but no matter what I do I can't get any sound to play. any advice?

I actually rendered mine out and then brought into iMovie to add the music to it. I wanted the music to start about 3 seconds before the animation did. I'm not an After Effects expert so I really don't even know the correct way to do it. Not sure if this will help, but here's a PDF I found on the subject: http://homepage.smc.edu/heaton_warren/content/ae_Audio%20Tips.pdf Andy
