Re: [lojban-beginners] iOS/Android app?



Kozmikreis;

Yeah I am not sure how to explain them. I don't want to run them all as it's a bit slow which is probably due to my use of "CoreData."

How would you order the data and group them?

I have changed the button from a (>) button to an actual button which says search, but I have kept it where it is, so it doesn't get covered by the keyboard. I am not sure if there is a good existing design pattern for what I have done. I am waiting for "approval."

I have also fixed the Text Search feature, and it's now capable of running on older devices which can't upgrade to iOS 4.3. (I am not too sure how far back I can go before I loose the features I am using.)

Very quick feedback as I realised I hadn't got round to it:

Maybe a help view to explain the search types could be added, or, run all the searches by default (if you can get around any speed problems) and group the results before ordering.

For the search button, how about a button below the selector labelled "Search"?  :-p

Lookup just looks for the English word or Lojban word, there is also meant to be a lujvo parser there but I don't think it's "ready" for use. (Anyone care to help me with Ragel?)
While keyword search does a search on most of the contents, it's basically an index search, it only supports and (implicitly) at the moment.
Text search is basically a simple grep on the rasfi and gismu text files, I included it as people like to search for exact phrases ect, however as I don't have an iPhone I couldn't test if there were any bundling* problems.
I wouldn't mind adding a jbovlaste and jbofi'e option to it, but those would be a simple web lookup.

I am a little worried about speed, I made the application using the "coredata" system, which is a wrapper around Sqlite, with a bit of extras which I think apple added for speed. However I think it just bloats the sql file and 

I am thinking of adding a Selma'o explorer and some other things like that but I would really like a list of descriptions for the selma'o before I do that. Also, I have said this before on g+, but the TXT format is getting really tiresome. :P I say XML with compilers to make it human readable. :P Which will allow us to put more "value add" features like examples and more gloss words.

Do you have a suggestion as to what I should use for the search button? I thought that as well but was sort of at a loss on what I could do.

Wahoo!  Just installed it on iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) on an iPhone 4.

The "Lookup" and "Keyword" searches are OK (no indication what the difference is) but the "Text search" feature doesn't seem to work, and the search button being a little arrow in the main screen's title is unintuitive, other than that it's a great start and I like it, thanks :-)

FYI it is up in the app store. I don't actually own an iPhone so let me know if it works or if there is any problems:
