I am compiling a wishlist here for future features of the app. Feel free to post your ideas here.
1) Add fields for color, weight, size of lure.
2) Ability to customize content of drop down choices.
3) Add field to specify people (who caught the fish).
4) Add ability to display current location on map with nearby catches shown.
5) Facebook sharing of photos and details.

3) Open up "My Computer" or Explorer and browse to the drive that Windows assigns to your device.

Adding a Primary Key Column in SQLite
The Android platform utilizes the functionality of SQLite databases. This is extremely useful for data driven apps. There is one problem that I came across in developing apps, and that is that SQLite does not allow you to add a primary key column to an existing table.
After looking at this tutorial, I derived a way for adding a primary key column to an existing table by creating two temporary tables, and joining the data back together into the final table.
CREATE TABLE KEYTEMP (ID INTEGER PRI...

Overview and Features – My Fishing Journal Widget
As an avid fisherman, I have tried a number of apps for logging my catches. Some of them are good; however, I have found that all of them had at least one major shortcoming that doesn't work well with the process of fishing. That is, they require too many clicks and take too much time to log a catch! I want to quickly log a fish, take a picture, and get back to fishing. Who wants to spend a lot of time messing with the phone when the fish are biting? Not me, and I doubt you do either. (Get ...

Installation – My Fishing Journal Widget
After downloading the app, installing the widget on your home screen is a simple process. First, you need to find a home screen with enough space to install the widget. The widget will need 3/4 of the space available on a home screen to install. This means that you can have one row on the screen with icons in it, but the rest of the screen needs to be blank. Or, if you are installing the 1x1 widget, you'll need the space that a single icon takes up.
After downloading the app, you will get th...

Adding a Fish – My Fishing Journal Widget
There are a number of apps for logging your fishing adventures. There is one non-widget app that is pretty good for Android called My Fishing Companion. What I wanted to do with My Live Well Fishing Widget is to minimize the amount of time interacting with the app while you are fishing. This means that I carefully thought out the screens to require a minimal amount of clicking. When I'm fishing, I want to log a fish very quickly, and get back to fishing as quickly as possible! I don't want ...
