The first Android Genealogy app

Okay, I have received a donation, which means that at least one person would like me to continue work, so I will have another look at getting AGeneDB up to an acceptable speed.
First thing I will try is to make AGeneDB read in the gedcom file and write it out to a database. then I can use this database to display the people and families. I am hoping that reading the database will be a lot quicker than keeping a lot of data in memory.
I will put issues in Google Code so that people can see the step that I plan on implementing and how much progress I have made.
I have remove this from the android market as I can't get gedcom parsing to an acceptable speed. I will work on this in the background, but until I can get it working fast enough I am going to be working on other projects.
I think I am going to have to learn how to use the NDK to get Gedcom parsing up to scratch. which means using C code to parse the gedcom into an SQLite database and then querying the database from java to display the contents.
This isn't going to be a quick fix though, so I apologise in advance for the delay in updating AGeneDB.
Description
AGeneDB allows you to view the contents of gedcom files. Shows the individuals, families and family tree.
For now it will be a read-only display of information from a gedcom file.
my common library http://code.google.com/p/araccommon/ is required to be able to build this app from source to use this application the OpenIntents File manager and About application need to be installed (You can get these from the market).
future plans:
- add creating individuals and families.
- add multimedia to individuals and families.
