Market Description:

This simple application helps you convert between beer units, such as Bottles, Pints, Cans, etc. It also lets to know how much alcohol you're drinking (the amount of ethanol contained in your beer/drink).

Beer Converter has been updated to Version 3!

With this version comes some exciting new features and bug fixes.

Beer Converter is great for converting the amounts of alcohol in any alcoholic drink, not just beer! Simply select the unit size (volume) from the dropdown (or make a custom unit), then input the alcohol content of your beverage (usually listed on the container). Finally, input the quantity.

Simple example:

If I have 2 cans of beer that contain 5% alcohol. I'd like to know how many shots of vodka (40%) that would equal in terms of alcohol content.

I can select “Can” from the first dropdown, ensure that my “Alcohol Content” field has 5, then input 2 for “Quantity.”

I can then set my “Unit to convert into” to “Shot” with an alcohol content of “40.”

Another usage scenario: How much alcohol is in 4 cans of beer at 5%?

One can simply select “Can” from the dropdown menu. Ensure that “Alcohol content” is properly set to 5% (default). Then input “4” for the quantity.

The output will tell you how much ethanol you’re consuming, which is how much pure alcohol you’re drinking.

Permissions:

Internet/Billing - For in-app billing. In an effort to keep multiple apps out of the Play store, users can purchase the Premium Version from within that app, which implements in-app billing requiring the Internet permission. This is optional and only at your explicit request.

This app is open source, so go customize it!

Full changelog:

3.0.7:

Users who are not able to access the Play store will have premium features activated anyway (because I’m nice).

Updated app_name with new name (Alcohol & Beer Converter).

3.0.6:
Users may now upgrade to “Premium” from within the app. This unlocks additional conversion fields.

Interface now displays units in a single row for simplification.

Switched order of alcohol content and quantity number.

Better rounding.

Fields turn red when they’re not filled in completely.

Added more colour to the interface.

Updated market description

Complete overhaul of the code, version upgraded to 3.0.

Premium/donate users now have the ability to add up to 8 additional fields.

2.0.8 (not yet published to Play Store):

New Feature: Ability to add more conversion fields for users who have donated/upgraded.

Changed Actionbar item order.

2.0.7:

In-app Billing fix (now when the service destroys, people who aren’t able to use in-app Billing shouldn’t get an error).

2.0.6:

Donate feature has been renamed to “Background Colours” as you can now change the background colour with a donation.

Bug fixes.

Changed the order of the icons in the menu to flow easier with an odd number of selections.

2.0.5:

Added the ability to donate. Select “Donate” from the menu if you like this app.

Changed order of hard-coded units.

Made units more specific. (This helps with large conversions.)

Added “Litre” as a hard-coded unit.

Prevent custom units with a blank name.

Removed a lot of comments that were no longer relevant.

Change the way that the explanation works. For users it should pretty much the same.

Added a bunch of new classes for in-app Billing. This will eventually allow for purchased upgrades or themes in the future.

Application is now available on over 552 devices.

2.0.4:

Now works on over 499 Android devices. API min level changed to 4

User unit preference is now saved and will default to the last selected (metric or imperial).

Bug fixes. Math works better.

Tons of comments added within the code.

Changes AlertDialog.Builder to AlertDialogs with a reference to an XML file. This allows a customisation of the popup, and ultimately allowed for the specification of edittext input type, along with allowing request to open the soft keyboard (if there is no hard keyboard open).

Ethynol is not ethanol. Corrected explanations and changed them to ethanol. (Thanks Ricky Lincoln).
