[android-developers] NewsRob 3.9 Beta

NewsRob 3.9: apk

- Images that are wider than the current screen are downsized proportionally so that they fit. This happens for the feed view and the simplified web view. It should work with different screen resolutions, magnifications and orientations. However a change in one of the aforementioned parameters makes it necessary to reload the content, which you can force with two taps on the article header.

- Dark theme added for night time reading. (Pro)

  This does not apply to the web view, except for already downloaded Simplified Web Pages. The background is a bit darker for the Web Pages and not downloaded Simplified Web Pages too.

- Swipe gesture on the article list has been re-implemented by hand and should be much more reliable now.

- Notification will be shown when a download is interrupted because the reserved space is under run.

- Page downloads that take longer than 2 minutes are now interrupted automatically.

- Hovering zoom controls are disabled on the HTC Incredible until further notice (Mark L./Tejas, please test ;-)

- Now that Android 2.0 is on its way out (http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html) I removed the workaround for an Android 2.0 bug. As a result the apk is now 60KB lighter. For people with Android 2.0 devices the icons will look a bit fuzzy now - please upgrade.

- "Unread Only" is now the default sync type for new installs.

- NewsRob will not sync/download pages when background data is disabled.

- Release notes are launched in the browser ... which are non-existing at the moment.

- Returning to an empty feed list will now close it, if it is not the root task. This is now consistent to the other lists' behaviors.

- Major internal reworks. Everything could be broken ;-)

This version is compatible with the current version in the Market. 

Hence if anything goes wrong: Hit "Sync" followed by "Clear Cache" and uninstall the beta afterward. Then re-install the version from the Market.

Let me know what you think and if you hit any bumps ...
