I mentioned here<\/a> that a new app has been released by Toodledo for use on Android devices. Well, I recently installed it and, after making a few set-up steps, confirmed it works very well with 1MTD and MYN. Obviously it syncs with your Internet-based Toodledo account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this article I describe the app briefly, and show you how to configure it for 1MTD and MYN.<\/p>\n

Even though the app works great, the Toodledo folks plan to improve this app even more, primarily so that it better matches their iOS app, so keep an eye on rapid updates.<\/p>\n

Android Install<\/b><\/p>\n

Find the app on Google Play Store. Here is a direct link<\/a>. All the images in this article are from an 8-inch Android 4.2.2 tablet, but the app works on nearly all Android 2.3 and later devices. That said, note that it will not<\/em> show up yet in a Kindle Fire store (not yet ready for that\u2014check with the Toodledo folks on timing). It does<\/i> show up in the Play Store on newer Nooks, but it wouldn\u2019t let me install it\u2014again, check with the Toodledo folks on timing for that.<\/p>\n

After installing and launching the app, and then logging in using your existing Toodledo login information, your tasks will sync automatically and you should see your tasks appear in the task list. But they are in the standard Toodledo view, not ready yet for 1MTD or MYN. Before I show you the configuration steps for 1MTD and MYN, let\u2019s first see how to use some of the view menus; those menu controls may not be so obvious to you.<\/p>\n

View Menus in Toodledo Android<\/b><\/p>\n

The app should start out with the label All Tasks in upper left corner\u2014this is the name of the main view we use for 1MTD and MYN. If you don\u2019t<\/i> see that label (or if you want to play with the other views), click the tiny three horizontal line button in upper left as I show here (see red square to left):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll then see this menu appear on the left:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From that menu you can try out various views. This is actually a 2-part menu. Once you choose something from the left, then look for the small triangle arrow about one inch from upper left (see red box on right in second figure above) and click above it. So for example choose Main on the left and the click above the small triangle and you\u2019ll then see this dropdown menu:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From that menu choose the sub view you want.<\/p>\n

When done exploring views, be sure to return to the Main, All Tasks view by choosing Main, and then All Tasks.<\/p>\n

In the All Tasks view, you\u2019ll initially see the tasks list in its regular Toodledo format (not ready for 1MTD or MYN yet) as I show here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Entering the 1MTD and MYN Settings<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s enter the 1MTD or MYN settings; you only need to do this once.<\/p>\n

For both 1MTD and MYN, start by clicking the three dots in upper right as I show here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From that menu choose Settings and then choose Fields\/Functions Used.<\/p>\n

In the window that opens, clear and activate check boxes so you end up as follows:<\/p>\n
