Awesome app, with a simple layout, I work in PC firmware and often need to convert between hex, decimal, and binary so I've been searching for this for a long time.
I've found a bug, though. When I am in hex, 8bit mode, I'm unable to enter values > 0x7F. I get a toast message saying "Value rejected, is bigger than Bit length allows. Same general principle applies to hex, 16bit mode; I can't enter values > 0x7FF.

@jerdog: APK is now in Post 2 attached.

@jjohns63: You are right, in HEX and Bin You should be able to do that. Only in Decimal this should not be allowed if you have a signed value. Will fix this in next release. Happy that you like it :)

Is it possible to get option to display BIN from left to right, this will come in real handy for dip switch addressing hardwares.

@sleepyfu: You mean Little and Big Endian or do you mean completely Reverse?
E.g. Dec 2400 = Bin 0000 1001 0110 0000
What would you display?

Cheers

I'd love to see more bases supported like base 12 or base 20
(or theoretically support for all base systems with brackets for each digit if it is larger than 10)
in a future release

Reverse as 1=1000, 2=0100, 3=1100, 12=0011, Thanks!
Reason being most hardware I have seen with binary address using dip switches has 1 on the far left.

Hi!
Hmm, I can't think of any use for this. Can you give me an example? This change would mean a complete overhaul of my app, so it won't be integrated soon, if ever...

@sleepyfu: I implemented a setting where you can choose between Big Endian, Little Endian and Reverse Little Endian. Last one is your poposal :) Will be included in next Update, pobably next weekend!

@Gemofworld: Tnx :D

Cheers

Super awesome thanks alot!

I noticed for the setting's changes to take effect, you will need to back out of the app and relaunch,
consider auto restart or a pop up note to ask the user to relaunch the app.
Or is it possible to kill the main process when in settings than start it back with new settings values?
Sorry I don't know how to code, just throwing ideas around.

Thanks again, super excited about this app :)

here is an example of the hardware

Thanks, you were the final reason to implement an Endian Functionality. Right now the settings are only there for adjusting the dafaults at App Start. You can switch the Layout easily during runtime under View :) But you are right, settings should response immediately.

Next I am planning a function where you can simulate / display what happens if Data is stored in Big and read in Little Endian, also the other way round. And maybe a paste function. But I am not sure about the second one...

Cheers
