Coming improvements for Net Ping

I have two things in mind that I want to change about Net Ping:
  1. On the keyboard, let the return key start the ping.
  2. Add an informative message if Net Ping can't perform the ping.
I was using the touch keyboard mostly for testing of the app, and I chose the IME (Input Method Editor) option to display a "Done" button instead of a return key. Kudos to my buddy Mitch noticed my mistake on his Droid, because he's used to the slide out keyboard.

After seeing the "no workee" comment on the app, I've been trying to imagine what didn't work about the app. I think there is code path where ping may not work, but no output is generated. I'll add a message in that path.

I appreciate all comments. If my app isn't working as you expect, I want to get your feedback so that I can make it right. It's more helpful if the comment has information on what went wrong.

If the comment doesn't have enough space, comment on this blog or send an email through the Android Market.

Big thanks to everyone who took the time to install the app, and those those rated and commented!
