Hi mtrax. Thanks for time and effort, and foresight I think, to create the polished looking GA Cacher app for Android.

Just an observation: On my phone (Motorola Flipout. Thanks PBL for the tip here.), the GA Cacher Settings page doesn't scroll up-down. Caused some grief with the little tacker screen showing the page to a bit below User ID text box level. (Auto-) Rotating 90 degrees showed the whole Settings page. Haven't seen this mentioned before so it mustn't be a major problem. Cheers. :)

Market, Search, ga cacher finds the app for me.

Thanks for the feedback , I will see if I can fix the Settings for smaller screens,

OK guys, thanks for letting me know the search does work - just not on my Android. A recent search worked fine so I'm at a loss to explain it. Will have to wait til I get to that page in the phone guide - only up to p32 of 243.

Kenny :-"

You read the manual? What are you? Weirdo.

We know that web developers have difficulty with this concept, but it's a sort of book that came with the phone which
tries to identify features and enables them to be differentiated from bugs.

Oi =;
I was a programmer way before I was a web developer.
I always subscribed to the theory that "if it was difficult to write, it should be difficult to understand".
Manuals are for wimps :mrgreen:

Tell me more of these "books" of which you speak. Are they ancient things, like printed with ink on papyrus? Are they available online? Can I read them on the device I am trying to understand? I do not understand this book concept.

I've made the setting screen scrollable and removed the ok/cancel button , you can update to version 0.11 and tell me how you go?

I couldn't find this forum's Like button so until I read that page of the forum guide cum manual
(which unlike printed guides keeps changing;
so I restart on page 1 each day;
but I'm sure there is a way of finding out what has changed recently;
it's just that I haven't managed;
to get past the first few pages to find out)

[is that haiku?],
I'll have to make do with saying LIKE gmj3191. More than like, it does have a semblance of truth.

Work a treat :)
Now just have to get out there looking for a few more GCA caches. Thanks.

Yep... thanx!
This is the thing I needed to make me do GCA more, the only problem now is there are none near me!
