Monodroid Stock Portfolio

=========================

Updates
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
4/2/2011 - MVP refactor complete. I'm pretty happy with it, though I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement. I call this release 0.9 to indicated that I'm just about ready to go into production when MonoDroid is finally released
|
|
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 I had trouble getting that to work
|
|
with MonoDroid, 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)
