So I figured, why do all that effort for nothing a load of hassle from users?<br /><br />Good luck with yours!Chris Brindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15060997991535798622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098314322688642582.post-39055805530819327902010-06-17T11:02:10.281+01:002010-06-17T11:02:10.281+01:00Users can be a bit pants sometimes. Someone commented my app doesn&#39;t work on the HTC Desire but that is the only phone I can be sure it works on since that is what I have.<br /><br />Cineworld have an API now and that is what I&#39;m using. I screen scrape a lot of stuff but it is a real pain when people insist on changing their site and breaking my code. The API is a bit slow but I&#39;m caching everything on the phone so that doesn&#39;t matter too much.Peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00506509063405510556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098314322688642582.post-13300031143978462572010-06-17T09:41:01.869+01:002010-06-17T09:41:01.869+01:00I&#39;m afraid it&#39;s not available now. <br /><br />I was screen-scraping the Cineworld website and it changes often enough to break my app without me noticing and i just get grief about it on the market place, so can&#39;t be bothered. :)<br /><br />Plus their mobile site is pretty good anyway, though of course you need a data connection to use it. The only advantage mine had was that it cached the info offline.<br /><br />But I was getting stupid feedback - for instance, if the app needed to get the latest info and the user didn&#39;t have a data connection, that was my fault for some reason... :)Chris Brindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15060997991535798622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098314322688642582.post-50906598573452249442010-06-17T09:37:02.770+01:002010-06-17T09:37:02.770+01:00Hi,<br /><br />Is your Cineworld application available for direct download anywhere? It is not showing up for me in the market (possibly as I am in Ireland). I have developed my own application but I would like to see if yours has any ideas worth borrowing :)Peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00506509063405510556noreply@blogger.com
