We are very excited to announce new feature of our beloved job searching app: it now adds Home screen widget. This widget can be placed anywhere on the desktop of your device by doing a “long click”. Basically – make sure that you are not running any apps (including Hire*A*Droid) and then tap and hold your finger anywhere on your desktop where you have enough space. This will bring a list of choices – select “Widgets” and then select Hire*A*Droid from the list.

Once placed and properly set – widget will display the top entry from the search the widget is set up with. The search is re-run every hour however between runs it stays dormant and does not consume any battery power. Brand new entries are marked with a star icon which goes away after next refresh or when user clicks on the job description to view a list of all current results.

You can have as many widgets as your screen will accommodate

The feature is very new so if you have any problem with it please report it to us.

Pre-loading Jobs

This release adds pre-caching of job summary. When user looks at the job details in the returned results list the final summary content is immediately requested on the background. Then, when user goes to see job summary – the cached content is served.
There’s no need to wait until job is pre-loaded, user can click to see job details at any time
It’s possible but not recommended to pre-cache more than 5 jobs since it will slow overall content capturing.
