I've fixed the force close issue that most users were seeing upon trying to view a searched tab.
The problem was with a connection to the guitar tabs database.

I've now released an update for it and republished the app. So you should see this come through the andoid market shortly.

Here is the direct link if you cannot see the app in the android market yet.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

I've managed to fix a particularly annoying bug in Tabapp Pro today.

What made it quite confusing was that where users were reporting that it would simply force close when searching for guitar tabs, it seems it was something completely different.

When searching for a song, tabapp launches a dialog box with an animation to let you know that it is searching.
If nothing is found, that dialog box closes and another one opens letting you know that there were "no results".

The problem with this, is that if you navigate away from that search screen, whether your internet is slow and you do not allow it to finish, the process is still running in the background and eventually will still attempt to launch the dialog box, when the screen is no longer in the forefront.

Hence the force closing.

Ive now put a check in so that the dialog box does not show unless you are still on the search screen.

Problem fixed.!

Go on over and get the update!

TabApp PRO is our latest Android App release.

TabApp PRO is the successor to our FREE app TabApp FREE, and adds extra functionality, making searching and adding guitar tabs to the app that much easier!

Here is the description from Android Market...

Tabapp Pro is the new and improved version of Tabapp FREE.
This version has additional functionality to make searching and viewing your guitar tabs easier.

- Search for guitar tabs online
- View retrieved guitar tabs
- Save online guitar tabs to phone
- Sort tabs by band or song
- Add your own guitar tabs with copy/paste
- Pinch and zoom tab view
- Phone stays awake in tab view so that it doesn't sleep when viewing and playing
- You can also copy tab files from your pc to sd card and use in Tabapp Pro
       
Storage:
This version no longer stores tabs in a database, it stores them in files so you can connect your phone to your pc, and copy your favourite tab files over to use in Tabapp Pro.

When started for the first time, Tabapp Pro creates a file in the root of your SD card named 'tabapp' where it saves your tabs.
Simply paste your tab files (.txt) into this folder with the filenames formatted like this ('bandname_song-name.txt').
Please make sure that you replace the spaces with (-) dashes and seperate the band from the song with an (_) underscore.
       
Using Tabapp FREE tabs:
If you were using Tabapp FREE before, you can choose to export your tabs first, this creates the 'tabapp' folder and creates the tab files to use in Tabapp Pro automatically.
       
Errors/Bugs:
Please email spresser@gmail.com to report bugs or errors so that I may fix and update as soon as possible.
       
I hope you enjoy using this app!
