Well-known member
My Character Sheet viewer App is live on the Google play store and can be found here

due to popular demand I have release another app on Google Play what removes the adds from the viewer it can be found here (please ignore the screen shots, I haven't updated them without the ads)

Change Log:

1.1.1: Fix for spontaneous casters on the dynamic view.

1.1.0: Added Dynamic View for pathfinder

1.0.11: The App will now be set as the default (or as an option to become the default) viewer for hero lab portfolios when opened from other applications (i.e. the Google drive application or file browsers)

1.0.10: Added Swipe left/right to show/hide the character list pane

1.0.9: Fix for the app defaulting the first character when rotating the device

1.0.8: Dropbox added as a storage location

1.0.7: Local Storage added

1.0.6: fixes the issue with missing characters when some characters in the portfolio have minions

1.0.5:

This will allow you to close the application by clicking the back button from viewing a character

1.0.4:
Fixed a bug where you where unable to see minion stat blocks (eidolon's and animals companions etc), these now appear under the character they belong to in the character list.

1.0.3:
Added a menu to allow you to change portfolios while the application is running
Fixed a bug where the progress dialog was not showing while loading a portfolio

1.0.2:
A missing permission was stopping some devices from being able to load Portfolios.

Hmm, all I get is a white screen after selecting a portfolio on the GDrive menu. If I rotate my tablet, I get the GDrive menu again and selecting a portfolio again, just white screen.

Nice! Works with characters created with my Castles & Crusades Hero Lab plugin.
(LOVE that it works with my Google drive right off the bat!)

Just one question, does it allow me to enable things like rage/power attack, and does it allow me to keep track of HP?

Nevermind... figured it out

I look forward to testing it out.
Sadly I need to wait until tonight, my character portfolios are one of the only things NOT on my drive! :(

Click to expand...

make sure you have at least version 1.0.2 as it should be fixed there, if not I will take another look at it. (it can take a few hours from me pushing a fix to it being distributed to all users)

TRO1984: I would love to be able to do that, however at this stage its still a way off on the to do list.

I'm getting the same error on my nexus 7. I choose the portfolio, then it just shows a white screen. Changing the screen orientation makes it ask me to load the portfolio again, then switching it again(portrait to landscape, then back to portrait) made it work.
 
I may sit on a white screen for a moment while the portfolio is downloaded to your device (there is a bug that the progress bar is not showing at the moment)

It sounds like that's what your seeing Tro1984 (and will hopefully be fixed in version 1.0.3)
 
It is not listed as compatible with my Motorola Droid Razr HD.

If you get this up on the Amazon App Store I will gladly test it out on the Kindle HD and HDX and give you feedback. (Or alternately give me a link to an APK and I can sideload it.)

Hrm. I wonder though if the Google Drive won't be a problem on the Kindle. In any case, I want to try this!
 
Let me also add that something like this has been on my mind for awhile... it's been an impetus to learn Android Development, but never enough of one to create the time I needed to get very far.

Which is to say, you're awesome for doing this.
 
I current have it set to only work with android 4.1 or up, I might be able to make it work on earlier versions with out much work, if you can tell me what version it is I can do some testing. (its in my list of supported devices so perhaps you just need to do an update?)

As for the kindle fire, I have no plans at this stage to release it on other market places etc at least until development slows down somewhat so I'm not spending all my time uploading to multiple app stores etc. (sorry about that)
 
Philderbeast, thank you for creating this!

In the interest of making this better:
(using my Note 3)
1) No menu to navigate - am I missing something?
2) Back button to get back to google drive menu only works after device has view mode switched to opposite mode - when I open a character in portrait, I have to switch to landscape to go back. When I open a character in landscape, I have to switch to portrait to go back. Switching mode, and then back to original mode, does not fix this.
3) No exit function (back button just goes back to google drive at best) - unless this is in a missing menu on my device?
4) Screenshot on play store shows what appears to be multiple characters loaded - how? (missing menu again?)
 
1) a menu was added in 1.0.3 (you probably still have 1.0.2)

2) its in the menu in 1.0.3 ;)

3) its not in the new menu ill take a look at it today and add something to the new menu for that)

4) if you have multiple characters in the portfolio it will load them all

let me know if you have any other questions
 
:o

To be honest one was mostly done last night, I just decided to hold it back a little as it was such a small update.

I will attempt to push out fixes as soon as I have them done as there is nothing worse then waiting for a bug fix for an app you use
 
Ok, after some further testing with a current version....

Back button still doesn't work. I can access the google drive menu by loading a new portfolio, but can't back out of a portfolio with the button, unless I switch to the opposite view (landscape vs. portrait). Same issue with using the back button from the google drive view; that could/should exit the app (please).

Shadowrun characters have no stat block separations the way Pathfinder characters do (line, title, line). I know this is an artifact of the way the .por files are formatted, but perhaps this can be added as a future enhancement? Or perhaps Lone Wolf can take this as a future enhancement?

Also, I noticed that some of my .por files, when uploaded to google drive, appear as 'file' vs. 'compressed archive'. The 'compressed archive' portfolios can be read by the app, but the 'file' portfolios cannot. I think this is because these were created by older versions of Hero Lab. I tested this by re-opening one of these in Hero Lab, using 'save as' to re-create the portfolio under a new name, and uploading to Google Drive, where it appeared as a 'compressed archive' and could be opened by the app.
- Moral of this last one - keep your Hero Lab portfolios up to date.
 
OK, latest version fixes the white screen problem, woot!

Although it has limited functionality, I like the speed at which I can view statblocks between characters in the same portfolios...

I'll probably use it as a quick reference of abilities next to maptools as it's quicker and less clicks. :)
