MA & NH Stocking Reports - Android Apps
« on: May 22, 2012, 08:32 PM »
I threw together a couple free android apps to display the MA & NH stocking reports:

Fishing MA - Stocking Report
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.o3tech.fishingMA

Fishing NH - Stocking Report
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.o3tech.fishingNH

They make it much easier to read the state generated stocking reports on mobile devices.  I just released the MA version today, let me know what you think!  If you have any feature requests or suggestions I'll try to roll them in.

Great idea! Is there an easy way to port this to Maine?

Thanks!  Maine is next on the list.  I need to do the parsing a bit differently than I do for NH & MA (Maine uses PDF files for their reports).  It shouldn't be too difficult though, I'll keep you updated!

I started the Maine app last night.  My goal is to have it completed by next weekend (if the PDF parsing doesn't throw me any curve balls).  So far things look good!

That would also be excellent, and an IS companion.
ijmiller, thank you for your coding expertise!

That would be nice.  I'll do some research after I finish up the Fishing Maine app.  I found a way to parse their PDFs so I should have it completed soon.  I didn't realize Maine gives you the species being stocked along with the number and their length.  Pretty cool!

I've got the Maine fishing app up and running on my phone!  I want to run it for a day to make sure there aren't any glaring issues, but I expect to have it on the market in the next day or two (it'll be free like the others).  I'll update this thread and start a new one on the Maine board when I do.

I've released the Maine app!

Fishing ME - Stocking Report
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.o3tech.fishingME

It loads slower than the NH and MA apps due to the PDF Maine releases.  I'm going to try to optimize it a bit more in future updates.
