*cough*
Or, at least I returned. I dabbled in a few bug fixes, only to be continually frustrated by my vastly incomplete knowledge of Java and Android programming. Every leak I covered, it seemed, sprung two new ones, plus a mole. As many Moles I A-Whacked and leaks I plugged, new problem seemed to just pop up somewhere else. Thus, my on-and-off dabbling didn't accomplish much.
Finally, I realized I and my application would have to hunker down and duke out our differences in a wee hour death match. I stayed up until 5:30 AM, but I finally worked in the following changes:
- Sound playback is now accomplished through a background service (before it played through the main activity; now it is freed up to handle things in a more ongoing way)
- A settings panel is now in place, with an option for auto shutoff based on an alarm
- A notification appears in the status bar while sound is playing in the background
- Two new sounds: Waterfall and Lapping Waves
I've come a long way; there is still a long way to go. I drew up a list of plans, and it grew much larger than I expected it would. The ultimate goal is to have enough features and sounds to warrant a paid version, accompanied by a Lite version with limitations and sound samples to try out before purchasing the full one.
