Invites

Next step in the development of the application are invites. Invites will give you a chance to send, for instance, a drink invite to all nearby users on your screen.
There will be more types of invites of course than just one. You will most likely be able to send a picture along with the invite, and some short message. Invites will be optional to all users though. Users will be able to exclude themselves from receiving invites with a settings option.
I'm thinking of also adding an option to enable receiving invites from your friends only.

Update to version 1.2

Update posted on the market.

Changelog:
- stabilized a lot of the areas of the app (thanks to Kage's log; think I got that bug fixed)
- speed issues improved
- less bandwith used
- search option added in the menu (lets you search for users by username, age, sex in a user submitted radius (if left empty the main radius is used))
- clear search button next to radius spinner; lets you clear search results and restore original state
- you can long click a notification now and add a user to your friends or show him on the map (show location is a bit buggy, since if you then return to the original map it won't redraw...you have to exit and reenter app)

You will need to relog (not register, just login) though since the DB was altered a bit.
