Monodroid Stock Portfolio

Updates
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
3/15/2011 - I'm no longer using FileHelpers, since I can't get it to work with MonoDroid anymore (even with compiling it myself)
|
|
so I switched to LumenWorks.Framework.IO.Csv because writing CSV parsing is a hard problem that I don't need to solve again
|
|
|
|
What...? Why...?
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This is a rewriting of a Windows Mobile project I wrote for my own personal use, since I have
|
|
recently switched from Windows Mobile to Android.
|
|
|
|
I am using Monodroid since I'm not good at Java, and I couldn't get PhoneGap to work right.
|
|
Also, I can (partly) reuse the libraries I created for the Windows Mobile app.
|
|
|
|
By hosting this project on github, I will be providing this app as an open-source app for other
|
|
Monodroid devs to learn from, as well as help myself learn how to use git.

Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
I originally used db4o for the persistence of this app, but since the Mono version of db4o seems to
|
|
be a bit behind, and it also seems a little silly to run a conversion of a conversion on top of
|
|
another conversion, so I just switched it over to using Sqlite, since it's not that complex of a
|
|
domain anyway.
|
|
|
|
To get stock quotes, I'm using a Yahoo API coupled with the FileHelpers library
|
|
(since the Yahoo API outputs a CSV)
