Hi,

thanks for this app, the first android crond that works for me.

However it reports a lot of "Invalid cron expression" if crontab contains:

  • commented lines, starting with #
  • empty lines
  • lines with fields separated by Tabs instead of spaces

Also, it would be nice to have crontab and log in (larger) separate windows and buttons and checkboxes in a settings page or menu.

Glad, you like it.
About "Invalid cron expression":
To be quite honest: This doesn't bother me too much. Also it's technically correct ;)
Recognizing all the different kinds of none cron expression and deciding what an invalid cron expression is and what is something completely different, can get complex and error prone really fast.
And what do you gain? A somewhat nicer error message?
You're welcome to take a shot at it yourself :)

About the UI design:
I actually quite like everything beeing on one screen. and not having to search through several pages. It's on the edge of beeing too much stuff on the screen at the same time, but I don't think it has crossed it. Especially with such large screen today.
