listmyaps's Issues

When apps are not installed from Google Play, do not export links to Google Play

Although the checkbox for "always link to Google play" was not checked, my app list exports links to Google even for my f-droid installed apps.

Soon on Android 14, Apps below sdk23 can't be installed

For new installations only. But if upgrading to Android 14 directly from old system, Apps below sdk23 can still be installed.

Anyone know FOSS alternatives? Either forks or new? Specifically I'd like to retain the [Markdown List] feature, Even so in absence i'll take any other.

Misc. UI Improvements

I feel that the UI, while good overall, could use a little neatening up and perhaps some polish.

• Could the "Copy/Share as" selection be moved to when the user needs it? E.g. have it appear at the top of the selection dialog? The idea here is to de-clutter the main screen. (Maybe this option would also better suit a settings menu but research may have to be done on how often users actually change this option.)
• "Always link to Google Play" seems that it would be better suited to a settings menu. Again, this would help de-clutter the main screen.
• The bottom of the apps list doesn't align with the bottom of the screen and breaks the overall feel of the ListView.
• Find a more appropriate icon for the "Browse" Action Bar item. The two arrows would currently seem to signify "upload and download", which to an extent is accurate, but gives the user fairly mixed messages. Are you browsing, are you uploading/downloading or are you submitting data?
• Reduce Action Bar items to showing icons only, adhering to the "long-press hint" pattern just in case the user isn't sure about what each item does. This would require finding a more appropriate "Browse" icon, as mentioned above.
• Template editing is pretty cumbersome. Who likes typing $, { or } on a phone keyboard? Maybe add some buttons to the editor for common actions, e.g. "Insert app title", "Insert comment", etc. Perhaps even utilise a dropdown menu?
• Add a "preview" button to the template editor so that users can see a demonstration of what their template will look like. Perhaps with sample data randomly selected from the user's installed apps?
• Remove redundant "You can have as many as you like" text from the template editor. Users will not assume that there are any limits to the number of templates.
• The "No apps tagged!" text may be better suited to a toast notification?

I'd be interested to hear responses to any of the points above. I'm fully prepared to submit code for some/all of these points but I'd like to hear some feedback first and discuss how to progress.

Regards,

• Michael.

Create full html page like txt but with working links.

Can the program be made to product a full "myapps.html" webpage which can be viewed locally or shared? Currently it just provided me some garbled links...and the text mode while detailed doesn't provide links to google play etc.

You perhaps could also consider checking the google play links for a bad return code and removing the one's that are not valid when it's turned on for all apps.

Thanks for your app. I find it very useful to pass info along to other of apps I recommend.

Please do target the most new version of the Android Software Development Kit.

Feature request: Search function in app list

I know the repo was last updated in 2014. But, if its taking updates from anyone A basic search function to find you app for quick sharing and selection would be great. This app even after so many years works good even on 10. Props to the dev.

market + html template

It would be nice to have a mix between the Market URL and HTML templates: it could be used to easily publish a list of clickable links to apps that we want to install.

The HTML list links to f-droid directly, which is clunky because it requires an extra click to install. The Market URL list is not clickable...

I made such a list by hand here after modifying the output of Market URL:

Feature request: basic dark mode

A basic dark mode. One targetting follow system settings would be cool.

Add a "Save as" option to just register the file on the smartphone

Hello,
When I began to use "List My Apps", I was surprised not to find how save the txt (or html if it is available in the future) directly on my smartphone (by opening the file explorer) because it was the first option I searched.
Then I saw the "Share" which opened a menu with a long list of applications (and some of them like APG, AnyMemo, Aard... not dedicated to file sharing), finally I tried with Dropbox and it worked very fine. The File Explorer was not on this list.
But I would like to also have an option to save the file on the phone (on intern memory or SD Card) and be able to copy it after when connecting the device on USB to my computer, or just open it on a text editor / browser on the smartphone.
Do you think it would be possible ?
Thanks !
