After having my application on the market for some time now, I was wondering if you can get the Stats of the total downloads. Android does provide a nice graph with the active installs but I'm interested in the delta (Downloads vs active installs).
Does someone knows if this is provided somewhere or how do you guys keep track of your downloads?
Thanks for your help!
An app on the market called analystics is the closest you'll probably get to this with out entering it manually into a spread sheet.
I added Flurry in my app. You have plenty of statistics, a great package. Check it. It's really simple to integrate in your app and you'll follow anything about it.
Thanks a lot this looks very promising and about what I was looking for!

I've got a simple question that perhaps somebody could answer. I know that there are some alternative markets available on the net...some of which look exactly like the android market. I was curious to know if there is some kinda open source project (or the like) for a custom alternative market.
The reason I ask is because it would come in great handy for my business. We have a few in-house apps that are currently distributed to managers as APKs via email. It would be great if we could have a central market for which managers can update our apps from as opposed to manually sending them out, at which point they must be installed manually.
I thought I saw something a while back about some type of market framework, but now I can't find any reference to it.
Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure that I've understood completely what you meant, but you can check out Handster or the new Facebook-based Market - ESDN.
I think he is thinking of an app that would allow him to distribute apks to "in-house" business phones.
There are lots of "market-like" apps out there - SlideME, Amazon Appstore, Handster, etc. I haven't seen or heard of any market software that is open-source, however.
Alrighty...I guess it was worth a shot. Though it would be pretty cool if something like that existed. Thanks for the replies guys.

While that is an alternative market, it's not exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking for an open source alternative which would enable me to use my own repository.
I think my search has ended though...I came across an open source project call aptoide:aptoide.com
It does enable me to setup my own repository, and I think that's what I'll be going with.
Interesting... looks like I'll be adding a new element to my primary source server as well.
An alternative would be to use dropbox and allow your people to sideload the apps. The phones would have to be provisioned to do so, however.
AppBrain is real good.
Aptoid and apktor - google for them.
Aptoid.com have a php script to generate xml file for android clients, but somehow it did not work for me.
See aptoid.com server section.
Im thinking about python script, but i dont have any programming skills
Dude just go to blapkmarket.com
Thats it. Your problems are solved

Moving to Q&A
I recently discovered (and published an app on) moborobo market. It looks interesting.
Another recent market I tried is opera market.
Hi,
I doubt that I'm the first one to think about this but I couldn't find anything useful trying to search for it, so here is what I'm looking for:
Is there an app that I can use to share a number of apps I installed on a webpage including QR-codes, GPlay-links, short descriptions etc.? The apps I know of mostly share text only and/or links but none I found allow me to generate a webpage (or use a site for this) which has all the info in a neat, organized way so that my friends can read the descriptions and decide which apps to download from there.
AppBrain's API has an app widget that would be somewhat fitting but 1) there is no app to automatically create those based on a list of apps on your phone and 2) it requires people to use AppBrain, which some people don't like.
Basically, I'd like to have it created automatically and look like the ones used by Android Police (but with links to Play-Store only and no need for ratings)
Anyone know an app like that?
TIA
SoWhy
Since I got no replies, I went ahead and put together a crude PHP script to convert a list containing Market/Play-links to a webpage and to host that list on PasteHTML.com in case you want to share it with someone (since I don't have the hosting for that). If you are interested, you can check it out here (sorry if it's slow, it's running on my home server). I'm still looking for an app that could do this though but for now this is better than nothing
Does anyone know of someone to sign up for Free Online App Development classes? I want to learn how to develop/code/design apps (nothing big or spectacular) to expand my knowledge. I'm more of a "hands on" & "visual" learning; which I'm sure many people are. I'm just having trouble finding the right place to start from. I've browsed through the Google provided training, but still having trouble getting started. The training pages Google provides doesn't go into much, if any, detail about how to start with the IDE (I downloaded the new Android Studio). Google pretty much throws some sample code at you; without really explain how to start your "own" project.
So if you could post some links to videos, online classes (free [preferably] or really really cheap) I would greatly appreciate it.
(not sure if this was the right place to post this question, so if the MOD could move it to where more appropriate)
Hello,
I offer you to discover that article about how to monetize your Android application. The article describes 4 main business models for mobile application with a focus on Android.
Article can be found here : http://www.ssaurel.com/blog/how-to-monetize-an-android-application/
A video comes with that article and is available here :
And you, what is your preferred way to monetize Android applications ?

Push & Location
Great article.
I used to monetize my ski & weather apps by selling push notifications, but parse.com was not really a good way to segment.
Started using Urban Airship, but though the tool is great, it is really fantastic. Now I am trying out matchinguu and though their tools are still pretty basic, I have earned a decent four digit amount in the last two months. Had about 3% of push permission & 8% in location permission lost, but stabilized now. Hope it grows further.
Disclaimer: Friend of mine works there, but they delivered so far.
Thanks. that is useful. Our 'BuyAi' App just has launch on google play.
I noticed that since 5.1.1 or (sometime around it's release) when I download an apk or an update from playstore, I am shown a list of service, broadcast receiver, activities, etc. with toggles. I am not sure if this is a result of one of the apps I have installed (like cm security, my android tools, amplify) or if it is just a new policy on google play. Anyone else see this? Is there a guideline as to what if any can be toggled and why I should/ should not mess with it. I've been reluctant to mess with anything up until now b/c I am not sure what this is. Can anyone direct me to a guideline thread or shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.
I've included some pictures of what I'm describing from a recent Dolphin upgrade from playstore.

someone can correct me if im wrong, but i believe i read somewhere thats some new features to help make users more aware of the permissions they agree to in more detail.
i dont recall it mentioning as in depth as the receivers, but it may have. for the most part, you really dont want to mess with those, otherwise the app could partially or completely stop working properly.
what you can and cant turn off is really going to be a case by case basis. i have tried doing some of that before, and tbh, its generally not worth the effort it takes to figure it all out. the battery gains are usually minimal to non existent. only thing some what useful is disabling the ad servers.
your really better off not touching any of those, unless you have a rogue issue you are trying to rectify.

Why not sending your screenshots to [email protected] for help? Seeking support from Dolphin is much more time saving.

That was just an example, it does that for all apps downloaded from Google play. Apparently, it is to disclose permissions required by apps more thoroughly. At the time that it I posted, it was a relatively new feature and I was wondering about it.
