I recently uploaded a small app called BusyNote on PlayStore. So, in this post I am going to talk about what it is, what it does, and also share some useful resources that I used to make the app.
BusyNote is basically an app to let people know that you are currently busy and you are not currently available for cellular contact. So, when activated this app just detects missed calls and sends pre-defined notification to callers letting them know you are in a "situation" and can't answer the phone. The need to the app was initially personal. When I was on my bike, I couldn't answer my calls (obviously) and this was a problem when I was travelling during late hours and the caller was generally my parents worried and trying to reach me. So, I thought why not make an app to help my situation. And here-we-are!
The app is available on PlayStore and you can find it from this link: BusyNote
Please let me know what you thought of it or if you have any such feedbacks. Thanks!

Useful resources
Here are some resources that I used to build this app.- OrmliteObject Relational Mapping Lite (ORM Lite) provides some lightweight functionality for persisting Java objects to SQL databases while avoiding the complexity and overhead of more standard ORM packages. It supports a number of SQL databases using JDBC and also supports Sqlite with native calls to Android OS database APIs. It is very handy and very easy to use.
- Android Circle Button
Android Circle Button is a widget for android, easily available via gradle. The widget is very stylish and looks good on mobile phones. I used a modified version of the widget to support "Texts" and also added small extra features. - Android Sliding Up Panel
Android Sliding Up Panel is a widget by Umano Team, and I loved it. It is available on github and you can easily import it to your project via Gradle. It provides simple way to add a draggable sliding up panel to your Android application.
Hope you find these resources useful. Also, don't forget to try the app (follow this link) and give it some love ;)
