New version of URLCheck (V 3.4)

V 3.4
- Improve: Rewritten VirusTotal integration: use api v3 and show more details (vote third place)
- Improve: Allow app component and/or package in the open automation
- Improve: Allow list of strings on 'regex' and 'excludeRegex' for patterns
- Improve: $REFERRER$ for the webhook body
- Improve: Close url editText on enter
- New: excludeRegex on automations
- New: Toast automation sample
- Fix: bold host display not working with host-only urls
- Fix: non-clickable links on json editor


This time, I didn't forgot!

This includes the third, and last, voted feature. The VirusTotal v3 integration. Probably not very user-visible, unless you want to check the result of a scan, but still something that had to be done.

The other 'notable' feature is the ability to include arguments on automations. Currently just the package/component for open (plus the toast debug sample), but I want to add some more to others.

Other minor features and a couple fixes...and that's it!

 

I know I've been more absent lately, and probably I'll be even more in the future, but I still love doing this and will continue while I can, whenever I can.

New version of URLCheck (V 3.2)

V 3.2
- Improve: enhanced JSON editor (vote second place)
- New: upper-case-in-domain default pattern (thanks Bakr-Ali!)
- Fix: 'rejected' urls hide the opened app



This version includes the second voted feature: an enhanced JSON editor!
It replaces the old dialog-popup with a new full activity, where you can check the documentation while editing (or hide it completely) as well better restore/clear checks.

It contains also a new pattern (which you may need to import manually if you have edited them, sorry) and a fix for rejected urls, which was mostly present when trying to download files from github releases.

Additionally, although not present in the changelog itself, the app is now available on IzzyOnDroid! You can also import it with Obtainium (instruction on github) since the apks are also published on github itself (not sure if I mentioned that in the past... well I'm mentioning it now!). Thanks to PabloOQ for those!

New version of URLCheck (V 3.1)

V 3.1
- New module: Webhook. Thanks to anoop-b!
- New automations: clear and close
- Improve: Allow multiple regex on automations
- Improve: Tweaked style of history module
- Fix: Disable auto-updates after using the Input module



And...I forgot to create this post...oops!

Anyway, this was a version released at the middle of january. Included one new module originally created by anoop-b (thanks!) as well as some improvements to the automations. A couple fixes too.

URLCheck has now over 1000 stars on Github

Just as the title says, the URLCheck repository on Github had surpassed the 1000 stars limit!

It may or may not be a big achievement, but still I think it's something worth publishing. At least for me it's incredible!

Unfortunately, right now I don't have any new big update planned for the app. But the previous one introduced automations, which I think classifies for it (even if probably that feature helped getting those extra final stars :P ).
In any case, there are still new versions planned, that I'll continue to release from time to time, with new features and improvements.

Thanks to all of you!

New version of URLCheck (V 3.0)

V 3.0
- New: Automation (vote winner)
- Change: Text input edit mode is now a popup
- Fix: Uri parser should no longer decode twice
- Improve: Updated main screen icons


 

Version 3.0...this is in fact a big update, even if the main feature it adds is still very basic.

Presenting: Automation!

This new feature will allow you to perform actions automatically based on predefined inputs. As a first version only basic triggers will be available (when an url matches a regex) and basic actions (basically pressing the ui buttons) but I plan to add more complex triggers and actions in the future (someday!).

With the basic current version you can now, for example, react to urls that match a given regex, and then open automatically the preferred app, or trigger a virus total analysis, or enable incognito, among a few others. Think of this like the regex setting in the status check module (which will be automatically migrated to an automation entry).


This feature was the vote winner, a vote that I setup on Github a couple weeks ago...and I didn't totally forgot to publish here on the blog until writing this...oops (sorry!)


Hopefully this will make some people very happy, even if the setup is a bit complex (requires json).

There are also a couple other improvements, but the only noticeable one is the new popup for the text module edit mode, as with the automation it was very difficult to either trigger everything while writing, after a couple seconds of pause, when losing focus, magically adding an 'apply' button... The popup allows to better edit the url on my opinion anyway (less crowded).
