[Q] n00b wanting to make a XMAS gift/app for my GF - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So it's the holidays and I'm very very poor right now. I've trying to think of things to make for my lady, and one thing that came to mind was an app! lol, she's on her phone a lot and she knows i love messing with my phone so I thought it'd be a cool idea to make her a custom app, something simple, maybe with a splash screen that shows a pic of us, and then into a love note, followed by some pics of us.
So that's my idea, I've tried making this on one app maker, the crappy conduit one, but every time i installed the APK on my phone (nexus5) it never showed any of the stuff i made on their site.
So here's the thing, does anyone know of a good and easy app maker I could use that would allow me to basically design it, and have it make the code for me, and the APK? I have eclipse setup on my system so i may be able to any editing and whatnot...but, seeing as time is a factor (i only have a few days) id love to get it done in a matter of a day at least.
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated, im no coding genius but i can follow directions quite well lol. Thanks!

oh nah man, i dont need it on the play store. this is just a personal thing for her. I would send her the apk to install on her phone (i'll probably be right next to her to show her how) and then she would just open it, read the note and swype through some pics of us. I just think it'd be cool for her to have an entire custom app that's her and I, instead of just some slideshow online that anyone can do these days.

heard about texting on iphone with camera running as the background

which is sooo cool, i mean im always texting while walking, and i dont get very far constantly looking up and down!
i thought this was the coolest idea ever
anyone heard of this for android?
or anyone smart enough to add it to handcent!?
all i know is that this phone should be able to handle it
Here's a walk and text app for android
Edit: There's also a free alternative in market called "typo and walk for android)
thanks!
il give the free one a try
No problem! Hope it works for you
yes it doess, but maybe il try the paid one..
after you type using the free one you click send, then you have to click what program to use to send the text... once you get in your program of choice, you no longer have the video background and you still have to go through and choose a contact and stuff...
so the free ones pretty pointless but thanks again

Hehehe... S**t happens. I'm not much of a walk and text at the same time guy myself. I'm going for safety first. Walk - Stop - Text aka WST!
truue, cool idea though

Yeah! But I'm so absent-minded that I can only focus on one task at the time. Not even a small possibility that I could be able to look at the camera view and text at the same time. *LOL*
when i tried it out, thats exactly what i noticed lmao, i was busy making sure i didnt make a mistake, and wasnt looking at the background aahah
Yeah! The idea of the app sounds really smart, but the app it self; A NO-GO!
Had to try it myself, just out of curiosity
hahaha yepp

This version of Movie Studio is 1.1 in the link above...it WILL NOT run on my machine. FORCE CLOSE every time. Cannot get it to open
I have only been able to get 1.0 to run and even then it's not right.
The editing screen is all screwd up, not in color and you cant export your work.
Any other ideas guys?

I cannot even get it to install.

Jestream Support/Movie studio
I hate to say it BUT the complete lack of support on this tablet really shows me how few people have bought this thing.
I love it....I have a rooted inspire and it is like an extension of my phone BUT getting any questions answered from the 3 other people that bought one is beyond slow....LOL
I'ts like no one has this thing.
ROOT? Would love it but dont see it happening any time soon....Since there are only 3 of us that own a Jetstream.....
Really weird that I cant find ANYTHING out about Movie Studio that is not 9 months old. I'ts like they announced it and released it to a few tablets and that's it? Is there no support for this?
Tracy
Agree, the silence is deafening

Call of Duty ELITE (apk) updated 2/11/12

DOWNLOAD
saw it in market and DL'd/installed fine for me on CM7 ba2tf. pretty poor port though.
Oh okay cool. Well damn I don't know why it says incompatible for me on Weekly 4..? I guess If somebody else is having the same prob as me the apk is now easy to find.
Is it full screen for you? Toggling compatability mode in Spare Parts didnt seam to work for me on this app.

nope, it's a crappy WVGA port with no button functionality, just the stupid iphone style interface.

So the CoD ELITE app was released on Android today! But NOT on (my) Atrix! But I transfered the APK from my Captivate and it works just fine!
The resolution is off, it does not take up the full screen. Maybe one of you mad scientist can dissect it for us?
It is just a port of the iOS version so it leaves a little to be desired, but at least it does work even though the Market says its not compatible..

Thank you WiredPirate for posting the apk. Surprisingly, this app is not available in certain countries like mine. And you just helped me (and probably others) a lot by doing this.
You are welcome!
YEAH, thanks a lot WiredPirate, it's not available in Panama either...
Sure, no problem. If they ever update it to fix the resolution problem I will post that apk for yall!
cod elite
it's on the market for atrix now. terribly made app. just ported from iphone. doesn't fill up full screen or have any button functionality. actually, doesn't have much functionality at all. basically check stats and that's it. stupid iphone ports
=)
Thank You very much
Yea, I wish they would fix the resolution. I keep seeing resolution fixes in the updates but still no luck
Hey WiredPirate, do you care to post the updated .apk? I would greatly appreciate it.
[EDIT] I mean, I greatly appreciate the effort thus far, but when I load up the app, it won't show the login form. Just the background with a banner at the top with the logo on it. :/

Beginner looking for android app project to join.

I am an aspiring android developer trying to teach myself the language. I would like to find a project, maybe open source, that I can get involved in as a real world experience with android programming.
I am wondering if there are people here that are either working on, or who could recommend, a project that I could join? I think that working on a modern app would be a great way for me to continue my learning. I have been working with books, but I worry that the information might not be completely up to date.
I am excited to get involved with real world app programming. I hope to be helpful to any project that I join Thanks to everyone in advance!
Hi MastrFett,
It is great to see how exiciting a person could be when learning. I do not have a project but I recommend you to do one for your own.
When doing something that you are going to release you do the best of yourself and you learn much more. Facing real problems is very exciting. There are lot of things that a book wouldn't explain you; you will discover them when you know that not only you is going to use your app.
Try something and upload it on Google Play. Don't get bored reading questions/answers on StackOverflow -it will be your best friend :laugh:-
Patedit,
Thanks. My only problem is I don't feel like I have many good ideas of my own right now. I think the few I have would require algorithms more advanced than my level of skill. I'll have to keep thinking.
I was just hoping to find something that would give me the chance to just jump in head first on a project right away. I do eventually want to do something on my own when I come up with the right idea.
You need a good idea if you want to become rich
If you want to learn, you don't need great ideas I know it could be frustrating at first... Imagine something you need or that will help you in your daily use of your smartphone.
For example, yesterday I made for me a widget in which I could see the next alarm time. With pressing on the widget, the Alarm Clock app is launched. That could sound 'easy' but it took me several hours. I did it because I wanted a nice widget to do so and a shortcut to the Alarm Clock app which I didn't have.
Good luck!
There is an app idea I had, but I found out there are a lot that already do what I want on google play. Should I still make the app for experience? I don't know if it is worth it if the app already exists.

Definitely.
There are already three apps like mine (see my signature)
But I still made it and posted it. Result : 110,000 downloads and #11 in the Top New Paid category last week

help with colouring app for my daugter

Hi and hello to all, sorry if I posted in wrong section but I guess its the right one.
I am rather clever person so I should cope, but need guide and help to do so.
I have daughter and wish to create colouring app without buttons like share or any adverts (basically anything that will make her get out of application and start to call foreign country and make my bill horrendously big etc.)
so for start I downloaded all android SDK and Studio.
My idea is to have menu with pictures (ill make those out of disney cartoons in photoshop)
once clicked it will enlarge and show colour pallet (preferably 256 colours, tiny boxes) that she could touch at top of screen,
and enlarged picture at bottom where she could fill empty spaces with desired colours.
device im intend to use is Samsung s4 or s5 my wifes or note 4 which im willing to get soon
I know I might ask for quite a lot but honestly its beyond me. I have tried to google some libs but after 6h I failed miserably.

Perhaps you wish for a child's mode or guest mode in which only certain apps can be accessed? Because what you are suggesting is making an app that you can enter, but can't leave. How will you get out of it when you need to?
Try an applocker that can be disabled/reenabled via a password... This way you can only make a coloring app (and other games) available to her unless she has a special password. Apps like this should block the phone, gallery, messaging, or anything else you wish for her not to access.
Try something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker , but if you don't like this then there are a plethora of other alternatives.
Now you should be able to allow her to access several apps and games that you deem to be appropriate for her, then, when you need your phone you can exit it and use it however you please.
thanks that will solve a lot of my problems :good: but yet all this children apps have adverts that i dont want her to click and still i would like to create colouring app just for her.

Posting a new thread in a section dedicated to app development might attract individuals into trying to make the app for you.
