Flash SMS

Flash SMS is the first app that I have created for the Android.

I wrote the FLASH SMS app for use by volunteer firefighters in the Ballarat Fire Brigade. It is a partner application to a turnout avaiability app that I have created for our brigade. The turnout avaiability application receives SMS messages from volunteers. The vols send either Yes, No, or Call to the app and it changes a flag next to their name to show if they are avaiable or not. See Below:

The Flash SMS app makes this process much faster.

My Java programming skills are very limited at the moment but I am happy to share the code for this app as it may be of use.

Please note that my Java coding style is very rough at the moment as I have lots to learn about good code style.
