The app for Quotes and Wisdom

Qwotable

Qwotable is a simple Android application filled with quotable stuff. Besides its own content, it provides 6 different APIs and one additional extra dataset.

Caution

Qwotable does no longer work for any versions below Version 2.0. That includes any previously published apks, for example on FDroid. Currently, Qwotables newest version is not added to FDroid, I need to check what happened there. For now, you can install the release on GitHub. Thank you for your patience.

APIs used:

• Kanye API: An archived API provided by Andrew Jazbec (@ajzbc). It is licensed under the MIT License. You can find the repository here

• Game of Thrones API: An API provided by the user @shevabam. You can find the repository here

• Stoic Quotes API: An API provided by Tek Loon (@tlcheah2). You can find the repository here

Caution

Qwotable cannot use this API currently, as Qwotable needs to implement another way to deal with the result

• James Clear Quotes API: An API provided by Mauricio Robayo (@MauricioRobayo). You can find the repository here

• Quotable API: An API provided by Luke Peavey (@lukePeavey). It is licensed under the MIT License. You can find the repository here

Caution

Qwotable cannot use this API currently, as it seems to be unavailable

• Stoic Quotes API: An API, where I was not able to find the developer for unfortunately. You can visit the website here

Used files:

Programming Quotes: The data comes from Damjan Pavlica (@mudroljub). You can find the repository here

(Planned): A previous version of Qwotable included the data from dwyl. It will be reinserted into the app shortly and used to show more random quotes. You can find their repository here

Important

If you wish for your content to be removed, please create an issue and I will make sure to remove your content.

qwotable's Issues

App-Crash because API is not reachable

Qwotable does not correctly handle non-reachable links and crashes.

Beta update shows up constantly

There is no beta update but the beta version that is the latest has the Version code 3 but the file wants to have 4

Qwotable

“Even if I could redo the past, I must not take back what has already happened, because if I do that, everything would be a lie: those tears, that pain, those memories, that cold reality that hurts my heart, all of it. There were people who died in pain. There were people who risked their lives to save others. There were people who mourned for the deaths. But then, if everything were taken back and it did not happen, where would all of those go? The dead people would not come back. Reality cannot be overturned.”

1. Go to Settings
2. Click on language
3. Click on French and then on okay
4. See the issues

[Enhancement] Clean up code

The code is kind of chaotic. Inconsistency in commenting, useless lines of code, inconsistency in naming. For being able to read the code better, concider to update it to something, that is less chaotic.

Error: Alert-Dialog

Describe the bug

Qwotable crashes, when the dialog is open, another app opens in the foreground and the app gets moved in the background.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior you encountered:

1. Go to 'Settings'
2. Click on any preference that opens a dialog
3. Open another app and wait
4. See app crashing

Expected behavior

The app should open in settings (with the dialog closed)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• App-Version [Any]

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: [Samsung Galaxy A50]
• OS + OS-Version: [Android 12/OneUI 4]

Additional context

The problem might have to do with the memory as it happens when the app gets closed in the background. It does not happen on the tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 lite).
What leads me to this thought is, that the behaviour is similar to what I experience a lot on my A50 when apps gets closed in the background due to low memory.

Does it gets Updates daily ?

Thank you for the app and all the quotes :)
Just wanted to ask that do you update new features in same version of the release ?
For example, i have version 1 installed from obtainium and still it asks me to update the app, i think it will be proper if new features are introduced in subsequent releases i.e 1.1, 1.2 and so on....

Steps to produce the loop :

• Install the qwotable using obtainium
• It shows update, even after updating it shows another update

Maybe there is some error in release numbering ?
