Title Bar

The title bar has up to three bars on the top left signifying:

  • Orange: Battery life remaining (BlackBerry only)
  • Blue: Volume (PodTrapper specific, BlackBerry only)
  • Green: Free space remaining in podcast storage location

Next to that is the time, followed by the PodTrapper logo and the title of the screen you're viewing.

File Playback / Browse Other Files...

When starting PodTrapper for the first time one of the only visible items in this list will be 'Browse Other Files...'. This allows you to play and bookmark any media file on your device. Clicking this item will allow you to browse your SD card and internal memory, playing back any files or allowing you to add them to the playlist. When viewing folders you can access the menu for that folder to create a link to the folder on this screen.

Podcast List

After you've added a podcast you'll see it here. Podcasts are ordered by name by default, but this can be adjusted via the 'Podcast Settings' context menu and altering the 'View order'. Items with the same view order will sort by name, otherwise view order takes priority.

A podcast entry will show the title, thumbnail if any, and the text displaying how many episodes are downloaded but not finished listening to (Ready), and those that haven't been downloaded (Not Downloaded).

Hitting the menu button on this screen presents these options:

  • Common Menu Items
