Tutorial

The Converter is a simple unit converter. It's available on the android market. The main view looks like this:

It's a list of all the fields that are available. Tap on one to start converting. Tapping on an item will take you to the conversion screen.

The spinners just above the clear button show the units. Both text boxes above them can be used to enter values. If you start entering a value on either text box, that value will be converted from the value shown on the spinner below it to the value shown on the opposite spinner, and the converted value will show up on the other text box. The values are being converted as you type.

How to convert values:

For example, if you want to convert a Celsius value to a Fahrenheit value. Tap on "Temperature" from the main screen.

It will take you to the temperature conversion screen.

Since you want to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, and they are already chosen, you can type in your value in the right text box. Just tap on the text box above Celsius.

Now as you type in the Celsius value, the Fahrenheit value will immediately appear on it's text box.

Let's say you want to convert the same Celsius value to Kelvin. All you have to do is tap on the spinner that says Fahrenheit, and choose Kelvin from the list that pops up.

The value for that text box will then be converted to Kelvin.

Note that you can use the green clear button to clear all the values shown on the two text boxes. And you can press the menu button from your device and then tap on "preferences" to choose preferences. You can set the clear button to be invisible from there.

You can change the decimal accuracy of the converted values. This can also be found under preferences.
