Any screenshot of your app? Which rights are needed (should be only internet)?

Suggestion :
- Create a first launch screen, where it asks for Iden-key.
- Hide Update and Add Friend in menu.

Update now happens on swiping.
Add friend moved to menu. I guess I won't even try to implement action bar for Android 2.0
New version 1.5!
How do you retrieve data, &action=hosts I presume?

You may consinder using :
http://www.lfsworld.net/athost.vitaly_m
if your only goal is to get server name. It will use much less data, but be aware that update time will increase with the number of buddies (in that case I'd suggest to place requests in separate threads).

Yes, I use pubstats &action=hosts.

I will consider your suggestion. Thanks. But there is a question of how many requests am I allowed to do. Because if buddy list gets to say 50 users it might get kinda strange both for my program (how many time does it take to execute the single request? and how much slower it gets when I do 50 requests at the same time?)and for the lfs servers (anti-ddos etc).

Also with pubstats I do get some more info like track, conns...

Moreover, I plan to add Favorite Hosts feature to the program, so probably I stick to pubstats stuff.

Thanks Smile
New version 1.6

Last 2 times I forgot to actually change the link Big grin Many of you used 1.3 instead of 1.5. Sorry for that.
