A new app already, wowzers.
The other day I was writing using my Android device and wanted to check the current word count of my paper. I found to my dismay, that there was no quick and easy way to do this already, and that many solutions on the Play Store required me to copy and paste my text into a special application, causing me to leave my paper and thus lose my train of thought (and my immersion!)
I thought to myself, there has to be a better way, and there was. Enter WordWiz.
WordWiz is a very, very simple application. It places an additional entry into the system Text Selection overlay on Marshmallow and up, the Word Count option.
Selecting that option will take a word count of your text selection and then return you that value in a little Toast message.
An um.
That's it.
Programmed in just under 2 hours, the application is currently very basic. I hope to further extend it with commands to count the occurrences of a given token in selections as well as any other useful tidbits I can think of.

PadLock updated
An update to PadLock has just been released which brings it to version 1.6.0.
This new version is minimum supported on API level 19 and up. The new version brings support for Activity whitelisting, which allows you to exclude an activity from being locked. This is usually wanted when a user does not specifically lock any activities, and rather just locks the package, but still wants a couple of screens to not get locked.
If that sounded confusing, just try using it, it shouldn't be all that tricky.

KitKats
With the ever changing Android ecosystem, old things come and go.
Minimum SDK 19 is now a thing for all modern pyamsoft applications.
PadLock, Power Manager, ZapTorch, and Pasterino will all require at least Android KitKat going forward. This means you must be running on a system which uses an Android version that is at least 2 years old.
This will allow these applications to take advantage of newer Android technologies. Please upgrade if you are not already on at least Android KitKat.
