The Story So Far …
If you are unfamiliar with TexLege, it’s more than a mere member and committee directory of the Texas Legislature. TexLege 1.0 introduced basic partisanship scales for legislative voting histories, it provided building maps to help locate offices within the Texas Capitol building, and gave a list of resourceful websites for those interested in legislative affairs. TexLege 1.0 hit the iPhone App Store in the summer of 2009. Yet, Texas political junkies have seen a lot of changes since then. In light of the upcoming elections, the likelihood of another bitter redistricting battle, and a few political scandals, TexLege needs an update, pronto.
TexLege 2
When Apple introduced the iPad, the iPhone 4, and the latest iPod Touch, each brought a whole new sea of possibilities for TexLege. After undergoing active and heavy development for several months, TexLege 2 has everything it’s predecessor had, and a lot more too! You can grab the new TexLege at the App Store. If you already have it and you want more information, or if you’re still debating whether or not to get it, visit the links below, or the menu above for more details, specs, and screenshots to tide you over.
Anything in the works for an Android OS?
Thanks
Hi Chris, at this time no. Frankly, my wife would murder me if I spent more time on the computer trying to learn Java & Android’s NDK. From what I can surmise, only a small portion of the TexLege code base is portable (the data) to Android, the interface and controllers would need to be completely rewritten.
That being said, if you know any good, creative Android developers that would be interested in taking up the task to put TexLege on that platform, I’m happy work with them
