Well, there are already several shopping list app, but I didn't find one that do what I want, so I wrote this one.
Main features:
How to add a translation
In the install folder you can find the lang folder, inside it copy the file language.ini into another file, you should name it language.<your local>.ini for example, for French the local is fr, thus the French translation file should be named language.fr.ini (for complete list of locals see here)
Edit the entries in the file.
Dont forget to fill the translatedBy so you'll get the proper credit for your work. If you'll send me your translation, I'll add it to the next release.
If you use notepad to edit the file, when you save it, make sure the encoding is UTF-8, so you wont lose the special characters.
The application normally will load automatically your translation, if your phone local is set to be the same, however, you can also manually select the language from the main screen menu.
Import
Import file should be a text format preferably with the extension .txt
The file format should be as follows:
For example:
Note, to facilitate import from "Handy Shopper", if a line starts with "• " those characters are trimmed from the line.
Export
Export file is done by default into the application install folder, with the file name export.txt

...

How to add a skin
- All skins are in a folder called Skins under the install folder of the application.
- Each skin is in its own sub-folder
- The names of the files in the skin folder must start with the folder name followed by dash '-', for example, if the folder name is Blue, than all file names in it must start with "Blue-"
- Button width shouldn't exceed 400 pixels, and its maximal height should be 78 pixels
- You should also have an ini file named <skin folder name>-skin.ini (e.g. Blue-skin.ini).
- The colors inside are in hex format as 0xRRGGBB, e.g., if you want deep green color (Red=0, Green=FF (255 dec), Blue=0) the value will be 0x00FF00
- As of V3.50 you can skin the whole application. As an example, I expanded the Dusk skin (the buttons for the main screen were made by redd214) so that it's style will be reflected to the whole app. You can see the skin files under the <APP Install Dir>/skins/Dusk
Things left to do
- Move action buttons (Add, Delete, Copy) to the bottom of the screen
- Check if possible to use long press on item of Manila SDK to start item menu
- Capitalized every first word option (will prob add it to the language ini file, as not all languages support it)
- Barcode support (??? not sure about that)
- User guide/help
- Import from SMS (correctly formatted).
- Let user change items positions
- Item cost and list cost (user option).
- Ability to sync between several devices
- Save state of all collapsed groups
- Ability to select different than the main email/phone info from the phone book
- Have more than 2 lines in text edit boxes
I'll be very happy to get your feedback.
