Hey guys,

I managed to convert the demo calculator on the Polymer Project website into an .apk so we can use the material design calculator on our phone.

Let me know what you guys think.

Here are some screenshots:

What the hell is 50+10%? 10% of what? That doesn't make any sense.

I was just testing the calculator.

This is the first thing came to my head. Calculation makes perfect sense,

10% of 50 is 5

So it’s 50 + 5 + 10

Don’t think this calculator can handle percentage.

go back to school sonny :p

Your comment has no value what so ever. Waste of digital space. Don’t think it’s me who needs to go back to school.

Actually they're right. Regardless of some calculators spitting back a result, that expression is mathematically meaningless.

ATZ is right. His math is a bit strange. However, a calculator should correct this and change 10% to 5. Try the math with most calculator and it will give you 65. More advanced ones will change 10% to 0.10 which would give you 60.1.

You have a point, the correct answer to that should be 60.1, but in any case is a bad mathematical expression and shouldn't be used.

Hell I never use the % symbol when doing math in the first place, but that's another matter.

I agree 100% ;) . I just don't understand the attacks on someone trying point out a potential problem and try trying to help in a forum. Thank you ATZ!

So back to the app. Any number longer than 7 digits will be cut off. Font size does not change to accommodate for large numerical values. And no, this mathematical expression does not make sense. It's only to show an issue with font size adjustment.

Sorry guys, my math may seem strange but I do use % at work and sometimes I use my phone to do it. This calculator can't calculate % so that I'd point it out.

The point we're making is that it's not that the calculator doesn't handle %, but that your way of writing it is wrong.

50+10% doesn't mean 50+ (10% of 50). In principle, as I said, I'd call that wrong because is not clear what you want. Or in any case it would mean 50 + 10*1/100, that is, 50 + 0.1

    Results seems incorrect.

    50+10%+10 shows 50

    Correct answer is 65

    The reason it lags is because of this (possible) assumption. The application needs full network access in order to work. Which means the dev probably just created a linked web app.

    How this works? You create an app with no actionbar and remove the controls. In the code direct the app to a URL with WebView and give it internet permissions in your Manifest.

    Outcome - You get an app the automatically redirects to a URL that was in the code, in other means. The URL for the Polymer Calculator example.

    Anyways, its still nice though.
