i am hoping to develop some android apps very soon.
so if anybody has any ideas, i'd like to hear them.
My biggest disappointment with the Droid is its terrible reminders system. When I finally gave up the Palm Tungsten I'd relied on for years, I was surprised to find it harder to keep up with appointments and other reminders on the whiz-bang new technology.
MissedCall helps a bit, but its developer hasn't finished the job. I want reminders to give me these simple choices:
- Cancel the reminder
- Ask to be reminded again, with two ways to set the new reminder
- In X minutes/hours/days
- X minutes/hours/days before the event
- Go to the event that triggered the reminder so I can edit it as I like
By "event", I don't mean only a calendar entry. That may be the big challenge in this project: any app can trigger a reminder, so somehow a reminder-trapper has to be able to determine which app did so and launch that app with the trigger event selected. But the most common events come from the calendar, which hopefully has the API to make all this possible.
