At the moment the wrapper uploaded does not work with the sdk 0.9.3
I will find the time to update and upload it.

The attached app is a "B4A Recent Posts Reader", nothing fancy, just a little taste to showcase the library's features.

A big scoop of thanks to TDS for creating the wrapper.

can you send the project B4a (in zip??))

You need to register with Tooleap in order to get the SDK, after that, get the library made by @thedesolatesoul, on the first post you will find all the necessary steps to create a mini app, after all that is done you can create your own apps, there's no mystery or secret.

You can find an RSS Reader HERE

I have updated the first post.
I updated the TooleapWrapper to work with 0.9.3 of the sdk jar. There is no functional change, only changes the DependsOn attribute. I left the old library attached just in case, but try to use the 0.9.3 one if that is the sdk you have.
I updated the tutorials in particular this one: http://habeebq.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/b4a-introduction-to-tooleap/
This deals with the API Key.
I have not updated the sample, because I believe it should still work the same way without modification if you sign it with a debug key.

Hi Everyone,
We've just uploaded a new SDK version 0.9.4.

Now everyone can download and experiment with the Tooleap SDK. The SDK will fully work on debug mode (while you develop your application). If you want to release apps that uses Tooleap, you will need an API key. Currently, only members of our beta group / early access program can login to our site and generate API keys using the following link:
http://developer.tooleap.com/api-keys-management/

New users can apply for our early access program here:

Sounds great, BUT, you shoul give more info, I think a loto of people will not spend their time trying something that the cant afford.

Could you tell us something about the licencing, and costs of the fineal release of Tooleap SDK?

The app made whit the beta can be published on the Android Market?

Thanks

 

[tuhatinhvn]

It is not free and without demo project working

I think it is only advertising to sell it

Dont try it

Hi @ivan.tellez,
Sure, I'll be happy to tell you.
All current features will remain free for our early access group. There will be no hidden additional costs for current features.
You won't wake up one day, and discover your app stopped working

You can publish apps with the current Tooleap SDK to the Android Market (providing you applied and accepted into our early access program and have an api key).

Updates:
- New Library wrapper, includes the sdk jar this time for 0.9.4
- Updated tutorials Part2 (includes information how to sign up to the early access program) and Part4 (with bug fix)

A new manifest declaration is required:

SetActivityAttribute(test, android:taskAffinity, ".tooleap")

- The current featureset is free. (if you get into the early access program)
- The Demo project worked for many other people (I know atleast 5).
- This is not an advertising thread and I am very disappointed you say that.
I am not affiliated with either Tooleap and Anywhere Software. I wrote this wrapper in my own free time (which I dont have a lot), and my own motivation. If I can get it to work, you can get it to work. There is nothing special about it.
Anyway, I have updated the tutorials, the sample and the libraries. They contain all the files you need. Compile them, make sure you use the debug key. If it still doesnt work open a new thread, and I will try to help you.

Please refrain to make blanket statements, and telling people to 'Dont try it' just because you are frustrated you could not get it to work. It de-motivates me.

Hi @Douglas Farias,
Actually this feature is on top of our top priority list.
We hope to release it on the next version.

I applied 5 days ago and got approval today. I'm excited to start playing around with this one!

 

[Tooleap]

Note that you can start playing around with Tooleap even without applying to our early access program.
Early access program is required only for getting an api key needed to release your app.

Pardon my ignorance, does this library feature the same functionality as the StandOut library? Can someone point out the diference/s if any?

 

[bluedude]

Hi,

I have it running but I think the Tooleap guys don't realize that we need to switch between debug and release keys all the time which is very inconvenient.

If i change my IDE to debug keys that is set for all my projects then because it is bound to the IDE. That means that wen I want to release one of my other projects and need to set all back to my original key again, pretty inconvenient in B4A.

Cheers.

 

[NJDude]

If you have created a private key, there's no need to switch back and forth.
