you could just display that html5 in an webview, but i don't know if there is something that compiles html5 into valid android/java code (i don't think so).
best regards

Is there any way that Android could integrate social networks like Facebook?

Similar to iOS, is there any way that ICS, perhaps to incorporate Facebook or any other social networking sites to its OS?

On my phone I get FB notifications (although I often turn the feature off because it gets on my nerves) and I can sync contacts.
What features are you hoping of having integrated or 'incorporated', exactly, and why?
They could do but we will have top wait and see of they do.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Google +. I wish they could do those cool "Publish to wall" status for Google + directly as an option after taking a picture or something alike.
what do u mean by integraed .its already there in my phone ......the contact pictures are synced with the fb pictures and the notifications r there
Where exactly does iOS have social network integration other than Twitter?

what I meant is, for example, after taking pictures, you have the option to upload the image to twitter (on iOS). I mean, those simple stuff that could be integrated by android by their own ways to avoid copyright problems.

Uhhh, yeah. My phone can do that, automatically with a setting...though it doesn't give the option if set.. Look under sync settings, and in the settings for G+. I'm pretty sure Gingerbread phones could also do that.

You can do that already. Once you sign in to your Facebook/Twitter account on Android, you can share pictures and videos directly to them. Take a picture>Gallery>Share>Facebook/Twitter. It's a much better system than iOS.
In iOS, Apple has to specifically enable sharing, like they did for Twitter. But in Android, the share menu is universally accessible, so any application can integrate into the share menu if it wants to allow stuff to be shared easily to it.
Click thanks if I've helped you.
I suppose I haven't seen the all out potential of android. I apologize for being a newbie...

[Q] APP: Websms connector developer garden

Hi,
This app in the Play Store is not compatible with Android 4 ICS and apparently the developer has abandoned it. (play.google.com/store/search?q=WebSMS+Developergar)
Is there a chance that someone here can continue this project? It is a really great app (sends 10 international sms/day for free) and I don't want to miss it when upgrading.
There is also an api available from developer garden. (w w w.developergarden.com/apis/apis-sdks/send-sms/)
I would be really grateful if someone here were to take over this project!
Cheers!
P.s.: also see this thread for description of the issue: code.google.com/p/websmsdroid/issues/detail?id=635&q=ics&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Product%20Component%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
It's sad that the developer abandoned the project. It used to work great.
However, the developergarden APIs are publicly available. When I have time, I will dig in the code, and attempt to build a little PHP script that can be used to send SMS via a browser. Once that is done, I will port the working prototype to an Android app/fix the connector.
Is there any progress with this? Would still love to use this!

[Q] Android app help!

So for my class I need to make a mobile app about the arctic fox. I no absolutely no coding at all and have been scouring the web for programs that will work. I've tried MIT/Google App creator but didn't have much luck with it. I'd like it so that when you press any one of the 5 images of the fox a text box will pop out with additional information. For the title page, I just want it to simply show it as a splash screen. If anyone can recommend a suitable program that would be amazing!
Umm seems that since I don't have 10 posts kindly look at this thread for the images: overclock.net/t/1347502/making-an-android-app-help/0_30
Warm regards

lol you'd think so right? Funny thing is this is a science course and all she did was link some free app builder (they are terrible btw). I have no idea why this assignment is here. I found MobinCube which has everything I need except the fact that it just smacks an ad right on the bottom of it and paying for an ad free one is 150$.

First off dont bump your thread people will answer in due cause.
The develop programs for android you will need to use Java, you will then need to download the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You will likely also want to use a IDE something like eclipse or intellij
Where to start all depeneds on past knowledge, If you know very little/nothing there is a few good guides on how to get started on here just search for them.
how you get paid via ads depends on the ad company you use, some pay you per install some pay you per click of the ad etc.
Either way a far better way of making money would be to have a free version and paid version of your app (or maybe in app purchases if it is a game)

NEW! 1 click Android app builder = 1 Click to make money

Guys, I've been working on building this site for the last month or so:
http://www.websitetoapp.net
To summarize what my website does: This is a simple Andoroid App Builder from any content, in literally 1 click.
You don't have to know a single line of coding.
It's enough that you have some content to share. For example your website, or your blog or your twitter account ( twitter com/ your user name) or Facebook pages are good examples.
Trick: Even your favorite website is a good idea to make an app!
I hear you're asking "Ok but how do I monetize it?"
Monetizing you apps are as easy as one click. (You will only enter your AdMob ID while building your app.. As easy as copy and pasting). So that you can get 100% of the ad revenue.
So please check it your self!
Would be glad if you could leave your feedbacks.
Thanks
