Hi, I don't use the forums regularly anymore. I just tried to download the encounter counter APK from the Mega link I provided whilst logged out of my account, and it works just fine. Not sure what the issue is but I won't update the link unless I know it's not working.
 
I have been using this app called Floating Counter as I was having an issue with my own app relating to it forgetting the count that I couldn't resolve. Here's a link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.niklaskellner.floatingcounter
 
The main feature this lacks which mine has is the ability to modify the counting increment; this one only counts one at a time. Other than that it's quite good though, and allows for multiple counters.

Hi everyone!
 
I was reading the thread for the desktop version of the automatic encounter counter and there was some demand for an Android version, so I took it upon myself to learn enough Android development to build a companion app for that purpose!
 
Feature list:
Supports counting from within the app and from a launchable floating widget Count persists between app and widget Widget can be moved to a custom screen location Widget floats above PokeMMO while in use Increment and decrement supported from app and widget, zero and custom value entry supported from app Custom increment/decrement value supported from app options menu (eg 1 for single encounters, 5 for horde) Counter label can be renamed  
See some screenshots and usage instructions here:
Here is the link to download the APK. Install instructions are as follows:
 
Unfortunately due to limitations of the Android operating system, I currently can't find a way to have the tool update automatically without an extension to the PokeMMO app to support public logging etc. Unlike on PC, Android isolates each application from each other application, so there's no way to view the output of other apps to watch for the start of a battle, nor can you pass through an action to another app without root permission and the app being signed with a cert from the same developer as that of the OS.
In essence, as far as I can tell, it's impossible to automate the updating of the counter. If anyone out there knows enough about Android to prove me wrong, please do and I'll happily extend the tool to support it!
 
If you think of a feature you'd really like me to add, please let me know and I'll do my best to add it! Similarly, if you encounter a bug, please provide steps for replication and I can fix it as long as I can reproduce it reliably.
 
I'd love to hear that this tool has been useful for you as well! If you decide to use it and find a shiny, please post a screenshot or DM it to me or mention me in the shiny thread so I can feel like I have caught the shiny vicariously through you :^)
 
If you feel especially generous, tips can be sent to @DamianTe, my IGN.
 
Thanks all! :)
