Blogaway 5.3 available on the Play store

Blogaway for Android 5.3 is a minor update with a few bug fixes. We have fixed a few crashes, which could have probably frustrated you a bit a few times.

Release notes:

1. Now supports browser based OAuth2
2. Composing a post is now supported in any orientation. This is a step forward towards full-tablet support.
3. We are working on full tablet support. But thought to first fix it for the compose screen. It might take a few weeks more for reaching there.

Blogaway 5.1 is now on Google Play Store

Blogaway 5.1 is a substantial update. Please check it out and send in your feedback. But, before upgrading, there's just one word of caution.

This is a completely re-written codebase, and thus, this update will not use the old data that you have with the existing version. You will need to setup your accounts and reading lists again.

Also, all your drafts, if any would not be imported into the new drafts system. If you want to preserve your drafts, please publish them, or save them as online drafts, and then proceed with the update.

Migration old the old data was a lot of work. And I don't really think it's worth. If and only if you have a lot of phone drafts, it's a real problem for the users. But other than the drafts, setting up everything else shouldn't take much time.

We hope you will love the new UI and everything else that will follow. If not, do send in your problems and concerns, and we would try our best to sort it out.

The new Home Screen

Manage multiple images

A new Reader UI

An Alpha build up for testing

An Alpha build for Blogaway is available on the Play store now. This is a completely re-written codebase, and thus, this update will not use the old data that you have with the existing version. You will need to setup your accounts and reading lists again.

Also, all your drafts, if any would not be imported into the new drafts system. If you want to preserve your drafts, please publish them, or save them as online drafts, and then proceed with the update.

Migration old the old data was a lot of work. And I don't really think it's worth. If and only if you have a lot of phone drafts, it's a real problem for the users. But other than the drafts, setting up everything else shouldn't take much time.

Do let us know if you run into any problems with this alpha release.

Do join this Google Community to get early access to alpha and beta builds, and if you wish to help testing the builds.

Using your Google account on Blogaway

The current version of Blogaway doesn't yet support using the Account Manager on Android to setup your blogs. From the feedback that we have received, this is not really a good idea. Users obviously don't want to provide their Google credentials to a third-party app, which is a good thing.

To solve this problem with Blogaway, soon, we would be releasing a version that changes how Blogaway works. And we hope that would remove all doubts about how Blogaway uses or stores your Google credentials.

From the next update, you would be able to setup your blog by using one of the two options.

Adding your blog

1. Using a Google account: This is the preferred way to setup an account on Blogaway. By choosing this, Blogaway doesn't get to know your password for your Google account.
2. Manual Setup: There might be a few situations where people still might want to add an account manually by providing their Google credentials within the app. Although the information you provide is safe, and Blogaway in no way trasmits/uses any of your credentials in a way that poses privacy issues, you should still be careful about lending your devices or, when you misplace them.

That's one thing that we would be changing.

Some of the other changes that would be a part of the next big update are:

• Multiple image support
• Multiple videos support
• Bookmarking posts that you would like to read later
• Proper geo-tagging of posts
• A better post reader

Update - Blogaway

This version is a minor update with mostly bug fixes.

People have been asking for delete functionality in the drafts/accounts/posts.

So, currently, I have enabled the deletetion of drafts and blog-roll.

Blogaway - Now supports adding links

Hi People,
I know it's an important feature. But in the hurry, I forgot to include this in the initial releases. Now you can add links to your posts.

In the create post screen, you will see a new menu item called "Add Link". Clicking on it, you will see a dialog which has 2 text boxes. The first one is for the URL. (Please don't append http://, since blogaway will do it for you). In the label text box, enter a label for the link. This is optional. It no label is provided, the URL itself will be the label.

Apart from this feature, I have also enable auto-cap sentences in the Post Title, Post itself and in the Comments box, in the Create Comment screen.

Important Update

The last update has a problem with the text box for the Post and the Comment areas. Due to this problem, the text is not getting wrapped into multiple lines. Now the bug has been fixed and the new update is available on the Market.

I request you to please apply the update to remove this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update - Blogaway 2.0

Blog-Away now uses the latest build of gData 1.39
