Video Demo – remote logging
DroidDrop Remote logging gives Android Developers the ability to log data from their applications to a drop on drop.io.
How to:
Download DroidDropNotes.jar
Include the jar in your Android project. It will add 16K to your APK.
Get a developer API Key from drop.io (free, painless, takes 2 minutes)
http://dev.drop.io/
Review the source code and example on GitHub.
DropioLogDemo.java shows the first screen for the app
UpdateLog.java has sample usage to show logging an exception and saving user input.
Declare a DroidDropNote Client:
DroidDropNoteClient dropClient= new DroidDropNoteClient(“–YOUR API Key”);
dropClient.setToken(“–drop password or token”);
Write out a Note/Text contents:
results = dropClient.createNote( “DROPNAME”, “Note title”, “Message”);

Launching DroidDrop, the Android drop.io client
September 18, 2009 by carmendelessio
Use drop.io to privately share your files & notes in drops.
Use DroidDrop to:
- Create & View Drops
- Add Notes, Links, and Photos
- It’s easy to start with the demo drop
- View & update in the demo and then create your own drops
I submitted DroidDrop to ADC2 (Android Developer’s Challengge 2) on 8/31. I expected to add a few more features before publishing it to the market. I was able to add some polish and 1 new feature (uploading photos directly from the gallery.)
I was starting to work on adding even more features when I realized it was a good time to stop and get some feedback. So, please try out DroidDrop and let me know what you think. Some of my ideas for new features are at the end of this post.
These 2 tweets were timely in helping me think about the release date.
- RT @albertwenger Making Versus Planning … http://tumblr.com/xbk34pkz3
- RT @ericries IFTF: don’t pave until you see where people walk; needs to apply to IT and internal tools #workunbound
Feedback and ideas wanted! Error reports, too.
Contact via email or twitter

You can see a previous video demo here.

I would expect to add:

- audio upload
- showing drops in reverse chronological order
- performance improvements

BFF Photo for Facebook on Android Market
August 19, 2009 by carmendelessio
Photos are one of the most used features on Facebook.
BFF Photo is an application to:
- View your Facebook Photos on your Phone
- View your friend’s photos
- Take pictures and videos using the app and upload to Facebook
Find it by searching for “bff” on the Android Market.
Like any other Facebook Application, BFF Photo needs to be authorized. Login to Facebook from the app to do that.
To upload videos and photos, set the Facebook Publish permission. That is done in the app after Login and from the Android Menu. You can set a permission to stay connected to Facebook. That means you will not need to login again.
To Login and retrieve or upload photos, you will need an Internet connection.
Next: A video showing taking a picture and shooting a video. Stay tuned.
Developing Facebook Apps for Android
August 19, 2009 by carmendelessio“BFF Photo for Facebook” is now on the Android Market.
It is an Android app for viewing the photos you and your friends have posted to Facebook. You can also upload new photos and videos.
Please give it a try. Find it in the market by searching “bff”. If you like it, rate it and comment on the Android market. Post technical questions here.
To interact with Facebook, I am using their new “Simplified Desktop Authorization Flow.“
For API calls, I am using a Java Facebook Client library I developed for talking to the Facebook REST server. I’ll be writing more about it. I intend to clean up the library and ultimately make it open source.
I am using Android Intents to take a photo and capture a video.
Video Demo Coming Soon!
