I merged support for using images for annotations in MapViews from @passkey1510 http://twitter.com/passkey1510 into Android. It has been pushed to master and will show up in 1.2.0.

To help identify errors in Titanium javascript source I added a popup dialog that reports the location of the error, the error, and the source of the error. It should make it easier to track down errors that occur in your javascript when you're developing. The iPhone edition has had a similar dialog for a while

I'm trying to track down an issue that's been reported on the HTC Hero. This app works fine for me on my G1 with 1.6. It should be compatible with 1.5, 1.6 or 2.0.

If you have another device and would like to try it, the barcode links to a drop.io page. Click download and it will install.

You should be able to post pics using the camera or photo gallery.

The build is using the twitpic in meetup pack and last night's 0.8 of titanium mobile.

If you do test it, please leave a comment with OS Version (1.5, 1.6, or 2.0), Device, and test results.

Thanks!

Additional fixes since the 19th.

This build corresponds to tag dst_0_7_2_b with bug fixes through 10/27/2009

Fixed Issues [Lighthouse List]

• 191 Android: ScrollableView move methods must execute on UI thread
• 192 Android: setBackgroundImage|Color should work on currentWindow
• 190 Ability to pre-load/pre-create existing sqlite database
• 188 Using mobile projects with source control
• 187 Android: File.getApplicationMassDataDirectory()

Before 10/19/2009 tag dst_0_7_2_a

• 185 Android: needs repaint method
• 183 Android: Response with no content type causes NPE in HTTPClient
• 184 Android: HTTPClient blocks on read after isStreaming is false
• 182 Android: createWindow not handling backgroundImage option
• 172 Android: File.copy() fails to copy from app://
• 173 Android: File.move and File.rename doesn't work
• 171 Android: getFile("appdata://") crashes app
• 174 Android: deleteDirectory not implemented.
• 170 Android: File.isReadonly always returns true

Files for your development OS are available:

• Linux
• OS X
• Window

You'll need to unzip it into your mobile SDK directory and restart developer for it to be available. I also recommend changing the 0.7.2 directory to 0.6.9 (an earlier non-existant version) so you'll still get a download notice if we do release a formal 0.7.2.

Several issues were found and fixed after the 0.7.1 release. Not sure if we'll do an official 0.7.2 release, but if you have an issue with one of the items listed below, contact me for the download password. dm @donthorp or find me on #titanium_app or #titanium_dev.

Wednesday night I attended the Dallas/Fort Worth Wordpress Technical meetup in Richardson. A big thank you to Michael Johnstone (@zelword) for organizing the meeting and locating space. I'm looking forward to having the opportunity for more in depth presentations and discussions on Wordpress, a perfect complement to the monthly DFW WP meetup.

Matthew Simo

The first presentation was by Matthew Simo (@M_A_Simo / http://matt-simo.com/) on the Wordpress Loop and some techniques on filtering posts and templates. Matt's putting together a cheat sheet of WP_query and get_posts. The tweet below was in response to my, have you posted slides question. (I try and get artwork where I can).

Randy Hoyt

The second presentation was by (@randyhoyt / http://randyhoyt.com/ ) on creating content snippets using a WP plugin called ProjectManager. Randy's presentation materials are located here. They include a video walk through.

Titanium

We had mini open session and towards the end Tony Cecala (@tonycecala / http://tonycecala.com/ ) asked to hear more about Titanium, the product I work on at Appcelerator. Hopefully I didn't drone on too long, but I wanted to post links to some of the things I mentioned since I wasn't live tweeting while talking.

• Titanium Download: Mobile 0.7 shipped today, 0.7 Developer and Desktop will ship soon as well.
• Community Page: A good springboard for locating various sections of the site.
• Video: Titanium Mobile 0.7 Our CEO shows off some of the new features in the 0.7 mobilesdk.
• Video: Appcelerator Titanium + Yahoo YQL a quick demo of a mobile application querying for the 7 most recent photos on flickr
• Video: Using Appcelerator Titanium and Social APIs  This is a demo of the new social APIs to connect to Yahoo YQL, Facebook, Twitter and any SOAP-enabled web service.

Since Titanium targets people with web development skillsets: HTML, CSS, and Javascript, I think it makes a perfect tool for independent designer/developers to broaden their product base. One possible product is affinity applications for promotions, one time events, or on the go reference applications with bundled data.
