Danbooru

Danbooru Gallery - new version

Posted under General

Hello all booru lovers over the world!

A little history first...
Back in the 2011 I wrote an Android booru cliend - danbooru-gallery-android.
http://code.google.com/p/danbooru-gallery-android/
and since then I didn't have the time to really maintain it.

But now I'm back with a new version!

Some unique features (distinct from other android booru clients) of the new version including:
- multiple boorus support (yup, joins all boorus together into a huge list)
- caching of posts (so you can at least view the informations and cahced preview thumbnails when you're offline)
- configurable grid size
- filters (maybe you're at office and want to filter out all explicit images?)

Project page is the same:
http://code.google.com/p/danbooru-gallery-android/
moved to github:
https://github.com/Palatis/danbooru-gallery-android

Files moved to google drive:

moved to github:
https://github.com/Palatis/danbooru-gallery-android/releases
(the files on google drive will still be there, tho)

Updated

emm I got 3 devices, 1 Jelly Bean (API 18), 2 Kitkat (API 19).
so I have problem making it lower-version compatible (cuz I got no lower version devices).

But I guess you at least need a Honeycomb (API 13).

I just made a screencast for it...

btw, I found some stupid thing while playing with the danbooru api...

  • you need to authenticate in order to be able to use the API, but the authentication doesn't have to success... that is, you can just put in whatever username and password, and the server will feed you the data...... i think this is totally ridiculous, whats the point for an authentication then......??
  • hmm... this one is insane too, and i think i should just PM the admin instead of posting here...

Anonymous users can use the API. There's no need to authenticate. However, authenticating will grant you the abilities of that account - for example, an anonymous user can only search for 2 tags, but a Gold user can search for 6.

If you've found a bug, you should post it on the issue tracker, or alternatively on the Danbooru forums.

well I dunno if this should be considered a "bug" or not, because it doesn't affect site's functionality, just restriction to anonymous and normal users.
that is, some functions should be restricted to users below certain level are actually exposed to them via the API.

edit:
i think i have an idea what you are talking about. something similar was reported way back in danbooru 1 if i'm right. anyway, i tried to report this issue if i got what you are thinking.

If you're talking about just reading things from API - you don't. You can list posts, etc. without any authentication at all - there's just lower queries/time limit than for basic registered users.

Hi, I am interested in your application, but I have a problem:
When I add a server to the application crashes and I can not re-enter until I delete the data ... I'm using android 4.2
Thanks for your attention
