After inserting a method step, the next time one is inserted the default 
text and step number is that of the last step entered - so it has to be 
cleared before entering. 

Need to:
Clear the text in the method insert dialog box on opening. 
Insert the next available method step number.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I usually start running into this problem after having inserted a few
recipes or a few ingredients:

1. Add name of recipe or ingredient
2. Pop-up box will show name of last recipe or ingredient I had entered in
the "recipe name" or "insert ingredient" box.  This box should normally be
empty.  For example, let's say I have just added "1 tsp salt" to a recipe.
 Then, I add another ingredient.  The box that pops up, which should
normally be empty, instead says "1 tsp salt."
3. I delete the previous entry and enter the new one.  The result is an
empty field.  Using my example above, I delete "1 tsp salt" and enter my
next ingredient, "2 tsp sugar" and click OK.  The resulting field in the
ingredients list is blank.  If I try again, the same thing happens.
4. This probably usually resolves itself if I close out of Bites and just
wait a few minutes.  In other words, if I waited a few minutes and go back
to Bites to add an ingredient, the normal output is produced.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In Step 2 above, when I add an ingredient/recipe, the box for the input
should be blank.  Once I enter the name of the ingredient/recipe, the name
(not blank space) should appear in the ingredient/recipe list.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.3, on T-Mobile G1 (Cupcake).

Please provide any additional information below.

This has happened every time I have used Bites.

Decrease the number of clicks needed to add an ingredient/method/recipe by 
adding a footer view containing an "Insert ingredient" button

Tidy up the provider code by moving strings created in code for table
creation etc. into string resources.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose a recipe and then select an item from the ingredients/step list
2. Wait till screen fades off or turn screen off or open new application
3. Return to bites.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The selected item should be still selected or, at least, the screen should 
show the same portion of the list as when you left. Instead of that, it 
shows the top of the list.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Bites 1.2

The interface is a little flat. Need to add some animations and backround 
images. Different background images for each activity will improve visual 
distinction.

Add the option to send recipe files via email attachment.

Use sqlite built in functionality to provide transaction rollback.
Probably need to add a new content type to Provider..

------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL:

BEGIN
insert/update etc.
ROLLBACK/COMMIT
------------------------------------------------------------------

This would allow all changes made by an activity to be reversed, this is
useful for multiple table activities like Recipe Edit.

The bottom lines drop off, rows have fixed height.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Before I go grocery shopping, I input recipes into Bites and then send the
ingredients from each recipe to Trolly to create a combined shopping list.
 Usually with the 3rd or 4th recipe I send to Trolly, all the ingredients
from that recipe appear twice in Trolly.  This has happened to me every
single time I have used Bites/Trolly, so I know the issue isn't me
accidentally hitting the wrong button.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see only one entry per ingredient.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using version 1.3 on the T-Mobile G1 (Cupcake).

Please provide any additional information below.

Use intent filters (type attribute?) and mime types on an xml file to 
allow downloading recipes from websites.

Possibly use something like the following on a recipe.xml file on the 
server:

<head>
...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/recipe; charset=UTF-8" >
...
</head>

From Peli:

If I go to ingredients and press "Edit" without any existing item, the app 
crashes

Allow nudging items up or down a position in the ingredient list. This 
will need arrow drawables 1 up, 1 down that inc/decrement the ordinal 
field of the ingredient.

A future release should have the ability to share recipes peer-to-peer and 
download recipes from a central recipe repository.
To facilitate this a recipe xml schema should be developed and recipes 
validated against it.

Give recipes a rating out of 5 stars and display rating in the recipe list 
view.

Allow filtering by recipes with x starts and above

When P2P api has been sorted out add recipe transfer without using sms. 

Probably use Bluetooth or XMPP.

Geotagged shops will cause an alert when you are close by if there are 
items on the shopping list that need to be purchased from them.

Ingredients could be tagged with a "bought from" location when they are 
marked as in the trolley on the shopping list, thus allowing bites to 
remember where to get them from next time.

Shops could be added optionally on a "finish shopping" event

Android has launcher icon style guidelines.

Create a 3D looking launcher icon to fit the guidelines

Need a preference page for the ticked/unticked option for adding 
ingredients to the shopping list or sending a shopping list sms.

When a recipe is short clicked change to the ingredients tab. This may 
cause problems but could definitely improve user experience.

Allow attaching a picture to a recipe

from char m:

You're having an error handling problem in your methods section. If the user 
does not add a step number the program crashes.

When the user tries to send ingredients without ticking any pop up a toast 
and abort the send.

Give recipes a category e.g. Seafood, Pasta, Alcoholic Beverages.

Change the xml file e.g. <recipe name="Martini" category="Alcoholic 
Beverage" />

Allow filtering by category on recipes tab.

As per Jeff's request on bites google group 
http://groups.google.com/group/bites/browse_thread/thread/04b790b960b7c011?
pli=1

Add headings for sub categories of ingredients.

A new menu option "Share Recipe" will upload the recipe to a public 
database.

*PHP MySQL host
*use url encoding (UTF-8?) and ?recipe= to create a php variable 
containing recipe string
*Set the value of a form to the recipe variable then post

What has to be done to enable touch keyboard? 
Recipe list filtering in particular could benefit from this.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a recipe with at least 2 methods
2. Send recipe via email (gmail)
3. open xml file and note the final method is not included

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
All methods should be included in the XML file

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 4 running on Android 2.0 (eclair on Motorola Droid)

Please provide any additional information below.

A new menu option "Get New Recipes" would show a list of sites to visit to 
download recipes. 

Possibly grab data from an xml file on caldwellcode/ for a dynamic list of 
sites to avoid hard coding urls into Bites and allow some monetizing.
e.g.
<recipesites>
<site title="Sams Seafood" url="www.sams.com" category="Seafood" />
<site title="Shaken not stirred" url="www.shaker.com" category="Alcoholic 
Beverages" />
</recipesites>

From Peli:

If I insert a new recipe menu > insert, the new name is empty. I have to 
press "Edit" again to change the name to something non-empty

Include a default list of ingredients so the user doesn't have to enter
common items.

Add an "author" field to recipes - both in sqlite and xml file.

e.g.

<recipe name="" author=""
...

Allow recipes to determine an order for ingredients other than 
alphabetical.

Add capability to import mastercook text file formatted recipes.

Create a shopping list from unticked items in the Ingredients tab. This can 
be either sent as a text message to someone on the way home, or added to a 
shopping list activity e.g. if openintents shoppinglist is installed add 
this to context menu.

Use the search function to search for local (and online) recipes for:

1. Recipes that include an ingredient
2. Recipes submitted by a favourite author

Use the android preference system to make for a more intuitive and less 
"forgetful" user experience.

e.g. remember whether the user wants ticked or unticked ingredients to be 
added to the shopping list

Downloading a recipe is not intuitive enough. 
Keep an eye on the SDK for ways to directly handle new mime/file types.

Try and get the browser to open text/xml files directly with Bites rather 
than downloading first.

Maybe submit a request for this to the android team?

Since it is Open Source, it can be posted to F-Droid repository. More people 
(like me) would intall it from there.

Use dropdown/filter to allow the user to type in the first few letters of a 
recipe to select it quickly.

*Pie in the sky?*

Use zxing library to scan a barcode on an ingredient and search for 
recipes containing that ingredient.

Or collaborate with manufacturers to provide recipes in QR codes fixed to 
ingredients?

We want to add it to the FOSS-Market F-Droid. Unfortunately it  fails to build 
with package org.openintents.intents does not exist. 

P.S.: It is also possible to include a donation button there, see:
http://f-droid.org/forums/topic/about-this-forum/ 

hi,

I really like Bites. I think it would be even better if you would add
multiple language support for the recipes, ingredients and methods. So that
when you choose your language(e.g. german) and add for example a recipe
with the english names for the ingredient, it would simply translate them.

I would offer my help for german and french language support.

Add a menu option on the recipes tab to archive the complete recipe book 
to an xml file on the sd card.

file format:
<recipebook>
  <recipe name="" >
  ...
  </recipe>
  ...
</recipebook>

If a recipe can't be created from the xml file show a toast, don't just do 
nothing.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Write a lond description for a method.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The visible height should be adjusted in order to one be able to read it
all. What I see instead is that the visible area is not enougth to show all
the text in the description.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I don't know, but I guess it is the latest version, I have just installed
from Android Market.
