For All You Chemistry Students

[Vistz 1]

So I was bored the other day and I decided to make an Android application. It's basically an element converter. So you choose an element (say Oxygen) and you choose what format you want to convert from (grams/moles/atoms). Say you put in 2 moles of Oxygen. When you hit convert, you'll get 2 moles of Oxygen converted into grams and atoms.

 

The name is "Element Converter" and it has the Gold symbol(Au) as an icon. It's free to download on the Android Market. I would love it if you guys could download it and give me some feedback. Here's a screenshot of my application:

 

 

Thanks again.

I love small and useful applications like this although I don't own an Android phone. Would you mind telling us a little bit more about the app? Like which programming language you used and which framework (I guess it's some Android SDK?).Anyway, I know Python (well, a little bit), and I own a Nokia N900, on which I can run python scripts. I was thinking of doing this for its Maemo 5 operating system as well (in Python), because I wouldn't need 1337 programming skills anyway and it might be useful for my future chemistry lessons (you know, instead of using the calculator). So can I have your permission? obviously I can't steal your code anyway since the program just contains some simple calculations, but I was thinking of stealing the idea.

Well the application is programmed in Java. As for the framework, I did in fact use the Android SDK. Since this was my first app, it took a little while getting used to the style of coding but I was able to finish this application in a little over a week.
