Yep that’s right. I’ve had a few requests to open source Easy Inventory (the first Android app I ever wrote) since I released it back at the beginning of June. As I’ve been insanely busy at my new job (converting iPad apps to Android apps), I’ve not had much time for feature improvements or bug fixes. Seeing how Easy Inventory is currently making me about 3 bucks a month in Adsense revenue, I see no financial harm in converting it to an open source project. It also jives rather well with my socialist tendencies. Plus it’s been a while since I threw a project up on SourceForge, and I’d like to see what folks can come up with.

You can download or checkout the source for the project from https://sourceforge.net/p/easyinventory

If you’d like source code write access to the project (please do contribute :) ), just request it and it shall be granted by a project administrator (currently only me but hopefully more in the future)

Android Apps – Easy Inventory

As some of you probably know, I’ve done quite a bit of mobile and embedded development. I like the fast turnaround and on-the-go nature of embedded systems, and that’s where my interests have been wandering to lately. I think that the ease of entry for publishing Android apps is a terrific thing, and I feel quite a bit better not supporting the great red fruit in Cupertino. While I plan to release a great deal of research projects as stripped-down android apps, my first one is a simple inventory tracker app. My good friend spends his off time as a snake breeder and needed a fast way to keep track of inventory. As snakes are bred for their heterozygous traits, it made sense to base the activity on a visual selection process. It should also be useful for garage sales, swap meets, lemonade stands, bingo tournaments, or even as a handy accessory to keep track of your in-game inventory for games like dope wars and space trader.
