[APP][2.1+] Trust - Event Logger

Dark3n · Jun 10, 2012

Hi XDA,

i want to introduce my newest app called "Trust".

An image says more than 1000 words, so have some screenshots first:

View attachment 2653772 View attachment 2653773

It currently logs the following events:

Foreground apps
Installed/deleted/replaced/restartet/cleared apps
Power connect/disconnect
Shutdowns/Boots
Screen on/off events
Lockscreen events
Loss of wifi/cell connectivity
Removed media
Calls

I'm open for suggestions if you have ideas for features.

There is a free and a pro version.
The free version shows the last 24 hours while the pro shows unlimited events.

Thats a great idea! Too bad I don't got any use for this but best of luck with sales!

This is brilliant! -- I've been wanting an app that would track my app installs/uninstalls/updates for quite a while. I bought the Pro version because, well, aside from the fact that I like having this kind of data, I've been a supporter of yours for a while, dark3n

One thing I'd like to see is the ability to export the data into a CSV and maybe also the ability to schedule an export.

I also notice that I can't install it on my XOOM. Do you have plans to support tablets?

CSV export is definitely possibly, i have not worked with it yet, so i will read up on that.

Regarding your XOOM, i have not knowingly put restrictions on it aside from android 2.1+. Is it possible that your XOOM runs a custom density? The market doesn't like custom densities ;-), send me an email and i will send you the files until we find a solution if it is not the density.

Thanks for supporting my work.

I run a Team EOS ICS ROM so I doubt it. I certainly don't change the resolution. I'll send you an email shortly.

Edit: I copied the APK over to my XOOM and it works just fine.

The problem was the telephony requirement, which is now optional.

CSV export is 90% done.

Dark3n · Jun 15, 2012

Just pushed v1.2.0 to the market
How long events are kept is now variable from 1 day to forever (see settings).

The menu offers an export function, which writes all database entries into a .csv file, with the following syntax:

Code:

time;ID;type;extra;description
1339799055212;180;24;"";"Restored wifi connection"

The CSV update works great, thank you! And adding unlimited storage is a nice benefit. I like to track things that happen on my phone and this gives me the opportunity to track pretty much everything in one place.

I think maybe the epoch on the date stamp doesn't match what Excel and the other spreadsheet programs use (including Google' spreadsheet format). I"m not sure what your time base is but would it be possible to export it as something that the spreadsheets recognize?

I'm using http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System.html#currentTimeMillis()

Just uploaded an update to the market, fixing a crash when setting a lockpattern.

Excel date/time is (currentTimeMillis() / 86400000) + 25569. I can always apply that correction myself but for an export to CSV, IMHO, it makes sense for you to convert to that format before writing the data.

EDIT: Excel uses a format called a "serial date" -- ddd.ttt where ddd is the number of days since January 0, 1900 (yes, January ZERO -- ddd = 1 is January 1, 1900) and ttt is the percentage of a day that has passed. Since the Android base is UTC, one must adjust for your local timezone

In California we're on DST right now so we're -7 hours from UTC which means we subtract 7/24 from that value or approximately -0.29166667.

An update is going up in a few minutes.
I fixed the notification not being removed when the service is stopped and added another column to the exported file containing the fully formatted date.

Looks something like this:

Code:

time;ID;type;extra;description;formateddate
1340110467055;1;1;"1.2.1(6)";"Log recording started.";"19.Jun.2012 14:54:27"

Uhhh ... ahhh .... ahem, I appreciate the update but is there any chance you could replace the formatted date with the serial date? I REALLY don't wanna be a pain about this but, see, I'd like to be able to sort in various ways and if the date is already formatted, it's not so easy to use as a sort column in Excel and various other spreadsheets. I suppose I should've been more direct and succinct in what I was asking for and I apologize for that. The Excel serial date format is really what I'd prefer. With the two date fields as they are I have to manipulate one or the other of them to make it usable for me. I can understand if you don't want to replace the current formatted date field and I certainly don't want you to add another date field.

If, by chance, you decide to make a change, since most spreadsheets will display the full text of the last column without requiring any interaction from the user, I'd suggest putting the two date fields together at the beginning of the exported data and leave the description as the last field.

Dark3n · Jun 19, 2012

Haha, well maybe in the next update

Can you post me a link of your desired conversion?
I have googled a bit, but could not find something i liked.

Edit:

I published 1.2.3 just now, as there was a bug i wanted fixed.

Changelog:

Code:

v1.2.3
- Fixed possibly FC on DetailsDialog when resuming app
- Changed export format once more (date;time;timestamp;ID;type;extra;description)

Thanks for the update! Sorry I missed your earlier message. The formula is listed in my post but I'll see if I can find the web page I got it from. Really, all that needs to be done is to take the value returned from currentTimeMillis(), divide it by 86,400,000 and add 25,569 to get UTC. In other words

Code:

(currentTimeMillis() / 86400000) + 25569

Ah, found it! Here's the URL. Note that I applied the formula to your column labelled "timestamp" and it converts it to a date/time value that Excel recognizes. I guess you don't do much with spreadsheets, huh?

Edit: forgot to include the URL http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datetime.htm

Thanks to a very helpful user, i just uploaded 1.2.4 containing an italian translation.

any chance for an option to toggle between showing 'hours ago' and a time stamp right in the app?

thanks!
