UnitBullet Converter

This is my unit converter app which I've recently developed for Android systems. It supports a wide varietyof measurements with many units. The design is elegant and the results can be spoken out by manually clicking a "speak" button or automatically when the result changes! This is a feature that adds value and significance to this app as it relieves the burden of frequently looking at the screen to write down the results.

This page is a documentation of this app and the way how you may use it. You may download the app from here.

User Interface Details

The first screen that shows up when you start the app is:

This window contains the following:
  1. A list of measurement categories: which is a list of all of the supported measurement types like angle, area and distance measurements.
  2. A list of units from which conversion is to be performed like centimeters, feet and inches in the distance and length category.
  3. A list of units to which conversion is to be made and this list is same as the one from which conversion is to be made.
  4. A swap button: it is used to exchange between the units to and from which conversion is made. If the current unit from which you need to convert is Celsius and to which you want the result is Fahrenheit, then, after pressing this swap button, the "from" unit becomes Fahrenheit and the "To" unit becomes Celsius.
  5. An input text box where the input measurement is entered for conversion.
  6. A result text box, highlighted in yellow, which is the result obtained after the conversion is performed.
  7. Play button: used to listen to the result value.
  8. SI Prefixes button: pressing this button will show a list of all the 20 SI prefixes and the multipliers associate with them.
  9. Keypad: this contains the keys that are imported for you to enter the desired values in the input text box.

The following window appears when the user clicks on this preferences option:
Here, you can select the number of decimal places with which the result conversion is displayed. There are 16 decimal places supported. The default option is the auto one. You can also turn the auto speaking on and off. When auto narration is on, the result is spoken out each time the result changes. The narration is very important to easily write down results without looking at the screen so frequently!

I hope you spend your time on this app with fun.
I'm looking forward to adding many more units,  custom themes and extra features.
I would love it to have your feedback by sending me an email at moa29000@gmail.com
