ADC 2 Round 1 Results for Financisto

Unfortunately Financisto failed to pass the 1st round of ADC2. It was ranked in the top 50% of all applications submitted. Quite a fiasco, but not unexpected. The application was in very early stage when submitted to ADC2. Anyway, I hope that you’ll like it more after all the improvements already done and yet planned.

Database schema evolution

Manage database schema is always a pain in the arse. I’d like to share with you the way I use to do automate schema evolution and make it a bit easier.

The concept is pretty easy – separate SQL from code and create a tool to automatically run all necessary scripts on every database upgrade.

Add a new currency to Financisto

There is no proper currencies list in Financisto(yet), but it was designed this way. There is no need to have all currencies in the world – you can add whatever currency you’d like, even imaginary :)  by yourself.

Tap Menu->Currencies, then Add button:

financisto_currencies financisto_add_currency

Fill the Name, Short name and Symbol. You should use international standard Currency Code as Short Name if you’d like to use automatic rates download available for that currency. Tap on ’Is default’ if it’s the main currency you use.

Catch your Exceptions

What a developer can never do? Test it’s own stuff. I use Financisto on a daily basis and I’ve never seen it force-closes on me. I just know how it works and unconsciously prevent myself from breaking it :) So, the users tend to find the most critical bugs in my applications, but not everyone is willing to report the bug and that’s ok. 

Therefore automatic reporting of the Exceptions plays a vital part in the process. And I found just the right tool to do the job - android-remote-stacktrace. Nice little library which allows you to catch unhandled exceptions and send them to your server on next application restart. One-line-of-code setup and very useful!
