About Utopian Stats
Utopian Stats is a Native Android app, using the Utopian.rocks API to get the currently unreviewed and pending upvote Utopian Contributions. The App was developed with B4A using the following libraries:
- Core
- JSON
- OkHttpUtils2
- Reflection
- Picasso
All libraries, minus Picasso, are included in the B4A installation. Picasso can be downloaded from the B4A forums for free, if you have a valid B4A license (the only requirement for accessing the libraries in the B4A forum is an account and a valid B4A license [expired or not])
While I've put Aristotle App on hold for the time being (I'm thinking how to make some stuff work and in the process a lot of non-Steemit work came along), I decided to create an app using the Utopian.rocks API. There already is a Chrome Extension using it, so why not create an Android App too?
Although not directly related to the contribution post, the App should run in all Android v4.4+ versions, and most Android v2+ versions. If you encounter any errors feel free to let me know!
Overview
I haven't marked any commits in this post, on purpose. This is the first contribution post to this project. The App was submitted to Google Play Store, and will be available here, soon (after it passes Google's checks). Release codename: autoconf 😉
The App is pretty simple. You can see pending for review and upvote contributions in 2 tabs. Future app versions will include more stuff, like Utopian VP %, moderator comments, limit by category, user history and more.
There are a couple of commits in the repository, so I'm going to say a few words about them:
Initial Code Commit
The initial commit [a999084] had a few lines of code, that were mostly parsing the contributions waiting for a review. My initial display method was a ListView, but it was very restricting, so I decided to replace the ListView with a ScrollView [e8d57eb].
ScrollView!
In the ScrollView commit, I was able to add more more than 2 lines and an image, so I decided to add a Green or Red bar for the status of the contributions in the review/upvote queue. Following @amosbastian's https://utopian.rocks/ color scheme, I decided to use Red for "not under review/will not be voted in the next batch" and Green for "under review/will be voted in the next batch".
In the same commit, I also changed the package name, a think I forgot to do earlier!
Tap to show contribution post
The last commit I made so far [e70e693], includes the ability to open the Steemit contribution post in the default browser of the user's device. A future version will include a whole lot of info, like: current upvotes, current payout value, total comments etc.

Looks good.
This is the first time I heard about B4A. Interesting approach. It reminds me 90s with that Visual Basic syntax, though. :)
However, it's also fascinating to create a native Android app with only 300 lines of code.
A README about the project and running/compiling it locally would be better.

That was the reasoning behind B4A, to create a very simple language in order to be able to develop apps lightning-fast!
Oh, I forgot to create the README file, huh? Typical of me, these days! I'll do it in the next few days.
Thank you for your review :)
