My EJuice Lab
submitted almost 10 years ago by SJHarrison1992

Hi Everyone

I've created this thread to make you all aware of the Android Application I've created

It's an EJuice calculator with many great features and it's available now on the play store via the two links below

Full Version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sjhdevelopment.shaunharrison.myejuiceapp

Free Limited Version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sjhdevelopment.shaunharrison.myejuiceappfree

The app has many features which I feel makes it unique from other Calculators that are on the market at the moment. It's something that I've created in my spare time after work so trying my best to bring updates out regularly!

I'm always open to suggestions and improvements, so if you like give it a download, give it a rating and feel free to post on here anything you like/dislike about it :)

Thanks all

Just bought the app, looks really promising. For those of us who own a lot of flavors, is there a way to bulk import a list of what we've got?

First note: when adding quantities in new flavors, please denote 'ml' next to amount and 'g' next to weight

2: allow me to switch my currency to USD

3: inventory view is weird. How about showing everything I have collapsed as line items, then tap a flavor to unfold for more detail on that flavor?

4: Inputting flavors, is there a way to say a bottle started at 500ml and now I have 250ml left? Otherwise it will skew price calculations.

5: allow me to craft a recipe with imaginary numbers. Specifically I haven't put any VG/pg/nic in, but why should I just to see the figures on a recipe?

6: flavor categorization? I have 300 flavors and only want to look at ones I have classified as fruits, or savory, or tobaccos. How about custom category attributes added to flavors?

7: idea for flavor company ids, create a table of flavor companies with a full name and ID name (ie: FA = Flavor Art) and I just select from a drop down when adding a flavor, then give me the option to add new ones on top of the pre programmed list (tfa, FA, fw, inw, flv, etc) - expanding on this, you can create a database of known flavors and the appropriate URL so I can click to jump out to a browser to look at the flavor on the company site

8: how about a re-order list - I set thresholds of quantity remaining for flavors so I know when I need to reorder and I can click the "time to reorder" list to see what's on there

I'll buy it, once /u/project-twenty5oh1 gets done beta testing it.

it's a pretty slick app, and with some of these modifications i think it could be really robust. OP has a great app design aesthetic

Hi @project_twenty5oh1

I'm doing a bit of work on categorization, would you rather be able to input manually what category the concentrate belongs to in inventory, or have a setting where you input your categories, and then on inventory you select which one from a combo box?

I bought this app to not only indirectly support the community, but also to hopefully spur forward development of the aforementioned features in this thread. Something like this would be extremely convenient to have, and something that could bring so many to the DIY eJuice scene.

Import/Export is the serious thing that all of the apps are currently lacking.

Let me import flavors from a spreadsheet - CSV is fine. Let me Export to a spreadsheet - again CSV is fine. Let me Export recipes - XML would probably be best here but this is really just needed for backup.

Or Google drive linkup? Some way to cloud my recipes so I don't lose them

Works for me! Just gotta be able to get them off the device. I change phones 2 or 3 times a year so it gets annoying to have to key in all my stuff again!

Hi all, new update has been submitted to google play to allow you to import to the inventory via CSV file, also there is a full database export / import so you can move from device to device

What version of Android are you compiling for? It says its incompatible with all of my devices, any chance of reducing the version requirements a little?

Hi, This is something I'm working on, it's currently made for Android 4.4 and above there was once piece of code I used that made me go from 4.2 - 4.4 so I will soon be looking at a work around so that I can go back to 4.2

Hi, update has gone to google play which has reduced the API to 17 so Android 4.2+ will be able to download :)

Bought it. Please use the feedback from this thread and from the play store. Don't be that guy that puts out something promising then never updates it.

by WhyCantIHaveThatNamealmost 10 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

I would really like to see something that can read the XML file from the Recipe Calculator in the sidebar. I used the portable installation and installed it to my drop box folder so I can use it on whatever computer.

It would be great to be able to do all of my edits on the computer and just have the phone on my desk when I want to mix.

Looks like it has almost the same design as this app.

Not saying anything but maybe it will lead to problems if you leave it like that?

Pretty similar name to this one too. I'm not a lawyer but you want to be careful when money is involved.

It's almost impossible to initiate the keyboard using galaxy s5. I want to see if anything changes before I leave my review.

Hi, An update will be out soon for the paid version where focus will automatically switch to the first EditText and the keyboard will appear

I just bought it. I tried to input my flavours but it won't allow me to. I click on new and when the writing appears (name, brand etc...) there is no way for me to input my text.

The Update got uploaded to google play last night, wouldn't be surprised if it was out by now!

Hi all thanks for the comments / suggestions

Input / Export is the next thing I'm updating

Hoping for it to be able to handle multiple formats and in future sync over google play so that you won't have to import / export yourself

For those who mentioned it's hard to input into the text fields on inventory there is a update I've just released that when you click 'New' or 'Edit' focus is automatically sent to the first edittext and the keyboard will appear for you

For Currency for now I've just removed any currency symbols, in future I may bring in a combo box in settings where you can choose your preferred currency

For inputting flavors for the Amount Started and Amount Left that has been implemented into the Inventory - Essential (Was Other) and will put it into Inventory

For Recipes I will work out a way of letting users input their recipes in the recipe view so that you can save without making a calculation

I will look into some of your other suggestions as I do like the idea of them!

Further updates I have in mind is a Shopping List, where you can manually input what concentrates you want to buy next, and a option in Inventory where if the quantity is below 5 for example it will automatically put it onto your shopping list and it will give you a rough est of how much it's going to cost based on the price value you have inputted

Just a warning to everyone this is something I have created in my spare time outside of work, although I will definitely be bringing out updates (I've done about 4 already) I cannot give a time scale

Also this is my first android app I've created, as time goes on and I learn more it will hopefully get better and better

Another update submitted to play store - Categories

UPDATE FOR EVERYONE

Working hard on import / export

Currently I have a simple import/export working where you export the whole database, and can import the database, working now on making multiple exports and then allowing the user to choose which database to choose to import

This will override any data that is in the database currently so will soon be working on a separate Import button which allows you to add data to the existing database via .CSV for example, keep an eye out all :)
