First, a little bit of an Android Developer PSA: Do not lose the private key used to sign your app during your first publication! This key is needed to continuously sign your application before uploading to Google. Keep it backed up..

I am rather embarrassed that I did indeed lose my private key, and there is no way to recover from this.  You have to rename your application, resign with a new key, and reupload to google =(

Changelog:

• New slightlier less ugly widget design
• Code improvements necessary to introduce stats in the next update.
• Achievement messages! Will show a toaster dialog when you bet your average and best times.

Shush will reduce your ringer and notification volume when your screen is on (who needs to have the volume be super loud when you are right in front of your phone anyway?) and then return the volume to normal when your screen is off.

Available in the Android Market for free.

Polished widgets for each of the major league teams that show current standings in their conference. – Standing – Score – Games back

Future updates will include wild card standings, overall conference standing widget, and playoff standings.

Also available in “Mini” for only $0.99!

So folks have been commenting on how blatantly ugly my first Android widget is.  I agree.  Its horrible.

But only because I have been focusing every little ounce of creative energy into this widget (Coming Soon!):

Pretty cool for all the baseball fans out there :)

There was a really nice bug in the first release that would prevent your best unplug time from being saved and displayed.  Unfortunately I went on a whirlwind vacation to the east coast for a week and was unable to publish V1.2 (that hopefully fixes this bug).

Additionally, if the widget crashes (or stops responding) when you install the update, try the following:

- Uninstall widget, and reinstall widget

- Uninstall widget, restart device, reinstall widget.

BatteryLastUnplugged 1.2 is available in the Android Market today.

My first public Android application, so be gentle…

I am always very paranoid about my battery usage on my smart phones.  I am constantly checking the Battery settings screen on my Android phone that shows battery usage, and the time since it was last unplugged.

So over the course of a few days here and there, I threw together a simple Homescreen Widget:

The first line is the current AC status of the device (Discharging/Charging).  The second line is the current time since being unplugged, and the last line is your best run time since being unplugged.

I would like to implement more features, such as recording all of your unplugged times and plotting them.
