Here’s the 2.3.3 build to try over the weekend: http://bit.ly/YsNUSm

Also, Google was very kind and featured the app in the ‘Play Picks’ section of Google Play! Check it out:

• Allows access to front-facing cameras on supported devices. Thanks for the patch shooh
• Manifest fix so that the app *should* be available for devices that don’t have GPS or network location.
• You can add comments to posts! Thanks for the patch jamesjhu
• Small bug fixes and reliability improvements

Here’s the build: http://bit.ly/18g0IKS

p.s. The latest commits haven’t been added to git or svn yet because of a problem with the server. As soon as it is back online I will push the latest changes and update related trac tickets.

Issues have been trac’d in the 2.3.1 milestone

All of these issues have been fixed up already and we’re on track for a 2.3.1 release on Monday. Build can be found here if you want to try it out over the weekend: http://bit.ly/11LQpNq

Here’s a few things that have changed since beta 1:

• Updated translations
• Posts/Pages list doesn’t reset when rotating or viewing post preview
• ActionBar added to Edit Comment view
• Fixed welcome screen layout in landscape

So, try out beta 2!

Download it here:

As always, post feedback here or in a trac ticket.

Because of all the UI updates, we’d really like your help in beta testing this new release. If you could please report in on which device you have tested with, it would really help us as well. In general, please poke around with the new UI and features, and let us know what you like/don’t like. If something is broken, be sure to let us know as well!

Here’s the download link, make sure your device allows installation from ‘Unknown Sources’ so that you can install the app.

While the beta is going I’m going to reach out to the WP-Polyglots to get the translation strings updated.

Here’s a screenie, too:

So I ended up adding this code when the orientation changes:

@Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {

        if ((getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) == 4) {
            // on a x-large screen device
            View content = mMenuDrawer.getContentContainer().getChildAt(0);
            mMenuDrawer.getContentContainer().removeView(content);
            if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
                mMenuDrawer = MenuDrawer.attach(this, MenuDrawer.MENU_DRAG_CONTENT, Position.LEFT, true);
            } else {
                mMenuDrawer = MenuDrawer.attach(this, MenuDrawer.MENU_DRAG_CONTENT);
            }
            mMenuDrawer.setContentView(content);
            updateMenuDrawer();
        }

        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    }

Any ideas for a cleaner solution?

{"software_version":"{value=3.6-alpha-23334, readonly=true, desc=Software Version}","blog_public":"{value=1, readonly=true, desc=Privacy access}","post_thumbnail":"{value=true, readonly=true, desc=Post Thumbnail}"}

I discovered Gson this week which gives you the expected results:

{"software_version":{"value":"3.6-alpha-23334","readonly":true,"desc":"Software Version"},"post_thumbnail":{"value":true,"readonly":true,"desc":"Post Thumbnail"},"blog_public":{"value":"1","readonly":true,"desc":"Privacy access"}}

I think I will add the Gson library since it fixes the issue and will set us up for better JSON support in case we start using the Jetpack REST API in the app more in the future.

• Removed old headers and used more placeholders or Holo style mini-headers
• Removed the ‘full screen editing mode’ as it was the cause for #411, and instead changed the content box to expand as more content is added.
• Removed custom WP buttons and used default ‘lite’ buttons instead.
• Changed ‘Selected categories’ TextView to only show if categories have been selected or already added to the post.
• Moved publish/save button to the ActionBar.

I’m not convinced that the ‘Save’ disk icon is best there, but I’m not sure what else would convey ‘Publish’ in an icon format

Thoughts?
