Looking For Beta Testers

I have built an app that simulates a high school student's "planner". A planner is normally a small book in which students record their homework, timetable and merits (e.g. stickers / points that they can cash in for items they may need e.g. pens, pencils etc.). Currently the app functions on android (the UI is still under development) and I am looking for beta testers for the app. No requirements to be a tester you just need an android device. Just comment and I'll post a link to the apk. I am also looking for a developer with experience on kindle fire development as I have issues. Finally if an iOS or Windows phone developers are willing to help me with porting to other OS.

Hi Charlie,

I found a crash while testing your app! Here are the steps to produce the crash:

Tested device: Nexus 4 OS: 4.4.4

Steps: 1- Click on “Merits” button on the main screen 2- Click on “Spend merits” button 3- Without giving any input to the “Amount” EditText, you click on “Submit” button and the app will crash.

Solution: Try to do some validation when the user want to insert something to EditText, and if the user clicks on the button without inserting any value, you show toast message to the user.

For example: here is some code

EditText amount = (EditText) findViewById(R.Id.edittext1);

if(amount.getText().toString().equals(“”))
{
    Toast.makeText(ActivityName.this, “Please insert amount”, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Hope this helps and good luck.
