    I'm going to add PMs but i'm scrambling regarding how to implement them. (current android app: channels, watching battles and battling in CC/BF)

    I have several ideas:

    1) Bolden player names that we have pms with. When simple clicking on the player name, switch to the PM window. Add a notification for new PMs
    2) Add an action bar (for 4.0+ android, menu option otherwise) icon with a mail icon, clicking it switches to a list of player with which we have pms. Clicking on a player opens a pm window in SMS style, the back button goes back to the list.

    I really don't really know how to tackle this.

    #1 seems better to me personally

    Small icons are ugly and hard to click!

    um does this app work with the pc version? Whenever i try to import a tp file it says "No team found. Loaded system default" and "Team from sdcard.... could not be parsed successfully. Is the file a valid team?". It crashes when i import from by QR code too...Currently i can only play challenge cup..

    it's normal. This is not a release, this is just a question about how PMs should be.
