Proof-of-concept Android app
Kuang Eleven.9781:
I hacked up a quick Android app that uses the Dynamic Events API to give you a list of Active events in the zone you choose. It’s missing a lot of features and polish, but I wanted to get out some basic code and some actually useful functionality!
Android Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=k11.guildwars2eventviewer
(Although as of the posting of this, it has not made it way through Android Play publishing, give it a couple hours)
GitHub: https://github.com/KuangEleven/GuildWars2EventViewer
(Released under the GPLv3!)
The app really is barebones for now, but I already have plans to flesh it out. None the less, please use it and let me know what you would find useful in an Android app.

This sounds awesome, but I don’t have android anymore
Is there any way to make it work in Google Chrome?
If this would be map-based it could finally be the second map screen I’ve been waiting for.
Kuang Eleven.9781:
Sadly, it won’t work in Google Chrome, despite both being from Google, they do not use the same programming language. It looks like there is going to be several new websites using the new APIs though, those will work fine with Google Chrome.
There is nothing map-based in my app currently, and I don’t have any plans for the immediate future, but it would be nice to get those in eventually. The touch interface of a phone is fantastic for navigating around a map.

Sounds promising.. Ill make sure to check it out when its available!
Kuang Eleven.9781:
And it’s live on Android Play!

Downloaded. So far so good.. Currently the “options” menu doesn’t work. Also the “major events” one that’s on the screen shot page does not show up..
DrFutzLoop.5316:
Also, to add another note.. The “major event” screen should list the events like “The Maw”, “Shadow Behemoth” etc and then once clicked on that should show all events leading up to the main event..
Ayusaki.6739:
YAY! GitHub source! If time permits, I might contribute some code (if allowed)
Kuang Eleven.9781:
Yup, Options doesn’t work because I haven’t coded in any options yet!
And the Major Events will be there to show events that give chests, I just wanted to get some sleep last night. It’s not hard to add, I imagine I’ll get another release out soon
Kuang Eleven.9781:
And yes, please contribute code! It might take me a little while to deal with it because I’m not too used to being on the project owner side of GitHub, but I imagine the community does not have a shortage of ideas.
