[App][2.2+] Periodic Table of the Elements

sylsau · Jan 27, 2014

Hello,

I make this thread to present you my free application Periodic Table of the Elements available now on Google Play Store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssaurel.ptable

Like its name indicates it, it brings you Periodic Table of the Element on your smartphone. It's ideal for students or to discover more informations about Elements

.

A QR code to download more easily the app :

Features provided by Period Table :

1/ 118 elements of Mendeleiv classification
2/ Table view or list view of elements
3/ Arrange element colors by blocks or categories
4/ Search elements by symbol or name
5/ Atomic, thermodynamic, material, electromagnetic, nuclear properties and reactivity for each element
6/ Electron shell diagram for each element
7/ Holo interface
8/ Wikipedia details for each element
9/ Video details for each element

Some screenshots :

* 118 Elements in table view with zoom and pan feature

* Elements arranged by blocks

* List view of Elements

* Details of Elements

* Atomic Structure diagram

* Wikipedia details for Elements

* Prefs to configure app with arrangements or temperatures

The app comes with a little site to display changelog : http://www.ssaurel.com/periodictable/

The APK of app is also available from my server : http://www.ssaurel.com/periodictable/PeriodicTable.apk

Don't hesitate to give me your feedbacks or ideas to improve the app

.

Thanks for your help.

Some initial thoughts on the app.
The acceleration on zooming is too high(not a big deal since most screens are big/high resolution enough to not need zooming.)
A landscape element view would help a lot(currently every time you select an element it goes from landscape to portrait.)

Thanks for your message.

Actually, only the Table view of Periodic Table is only in landscape.
So, when you select an element in Table View, the application stays in landscape mode if you are in landscape mode.

Perhaps, you man when you are on detail of element and you return to table view and in this case the apps change from portrait (if you are in portrait) to landscape.

Turns out my auto rotate was off so when I selected an element it went back to portrait.

Hello I am a beta tester from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927116
I would like to share my opinion
Pro's - The table is very good with the index.
The video and wiki link is very innovative.
And the features of the elements is perfect.

Con's - The only con I could come up with is that you can add the crystal structure, atomic radius, oxidation number, Ionisation enthalpy of every element to it. And you can even add the isotopes of the elements (if any) with their type of disintegration.

Source : I like chemistry.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback. I'm going to think about your idea to add these data.

Yes, it was a bug

.

You have downloaded the apk from my server I guess ?
I have forgotten to update the APK on my server. I just fixed the bug on Google Play Store.

Can you try again ? (I'm going to update the APK on my server so now, the app must work well).

Thanks for your help.

good!

@this is for you bro! :good:

I noticed something the app author absolutely needs to fix.

This app appears virtually identical to Elementary, which was released on Google Play on November 12th, 2013. The only differences between this app and Elementary are the title bar with its menu items and the addition of a "Fit To Screen" option. Elementary is open source software released under the MIT license, and by that license the OP is permitted to make whatever changes he wishes, without having to share the changes with everyone else. The fact the OP has made the changes he did is not an issue here. The issue is that the author of the source code isn't credited here at all. Under the terms of the MIT license for Elementary posted on Github, the copyright and permissions notices must be present, which I interpret to mean being visible to the end user.

Adding the copyright and permissions notices should be a trivial change for the OP.

Cool!

this is for me!

Hello,

I know that app and effectively, I used some part and added several features like zoom, categories selection, fit to screen option, wikipedia in app details, structure diagram of the elements, etc ... that missed me.

The license included in Elementary is classic MIT (http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) that tells the following :

The MIT License (MIT)

Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal
in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights
to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell
copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is
furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER
LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM,
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN
THE SOFTWARE.

The part in bold tells that all copies of Periodic Table must contain the License. It's the case actually in each APK.
So, I think I respect the MIT License because it's not written that end user must see some informations. It's just your interpretation but it's not a problem for me to add a link on Play Store page of Periodic Table even if it's not an obligation for me.
