Quick app update

So I live over here in Taiwan and the if you've seen the news you probably knew we are getting battered by a slow moving heavy rain typhoon. Well before it came I was looking for a flashlight app, well the ones on the app store were so bloated and filled with "fun" features that it drove me nuts, I just wanted a simple flashlight app.

Well after all that stuff, I decided to create my own. It's nothing fancy just an off and on button, I plan on adding a few updates in the coming weeks, what update do you might wonder? Well I would like to add a widget to put on the home screen so that you can turn on the light without launching the app.

This app was written in pure android, it was a different experience working with native android and it has a lot of cool features but some quirks, It's pretty cool though but dealing in XML is one of those quirks.

You can check it out below.

On a side note I am working on my opengl tutorials, I have a lot of code already up at the google code page; the code is also documented in the source but, I just need to write the tutorials. I'll get them up soon.
