Android development tools

I created a bitbucket repository containing some unix scripts and groovy scripts I use when developing android applications. I will continue adding things as I need them. I hope somebody else gains time using these.
Let me know if you use them and feel free to add things in the bitbucket repository.

Currently it contains a conversion script from svg to png's in the different sizes needed and conversion from strings.xml location files to a csv and the other way round to ease collaboration with another team doing the translation. The wiki should explain more.

Photo frame preferences

I updated the preferences page of digital photo frame to the android standard for options. I'm still learning the android platform and finding nice features. Thanks to google for a great SDK.

A user wanted to see pictures he adds to a network folder while the app is running. You can find a setting to configure an update interval in which the app should look for new photos. By default this is set to off because I'm unsure of the performance impact of this feature. Seemed to work very well on my tablet but how will it run on a phone?

Next I continue to improve the single photo view with sharing to other apps and view next and previously displayed photos.
