As a quick summary, I work for public safety in Indianapolis, IN and have need to develop an app that will monitor SMS/email messages on an Android tablet or phone sent from our dispatch center that will automatically route to an address via Google Maps at the touch of a button.
That's the basic gist of it. The potential in making such an app is ridiculously marketable with the right direction (mine).
If you have the skill and/or are interested in helping me with this project, I would love to talk with you.
Thanks

Hi,
I am a student studying in software engineering course in Malaysia. This semester I am required to develop an application for mobile device for my final year project. What I need to do is only to be able to locate the user location in a building, show the route that can be taken, and optionally download the building's map, and use the turn-by turn navigation without any internet/GPS access after that.
My main questions are;
1) How do I get a building's map? For example I wanted to have a map of my university campus, where do I get the map from? Google Map?
2) How to implement the turn-by-turn navigation without any internet/GPS? Only the graphical is enough, no need for sound support.
3) How do i obtain user's location using Wi-Fi connection instead of GPS?
Thank you and I hope any developers won't mind sharing some of the knowledge for a learning student.
I am not hoping for source codes, I just need guidance and directions on where should I look, and what I need to study.

Hi folks,
I have had this idea in my mind for a couple of years now and would like to get on with it and stop dreaming about it and just jump in and do it already!
My experience during the past 20 years has been working as a programmer on MSSQL and VB and VB.net with good working knowledge of C, HTML5, Javascript, VB, VC, Access, MSSQL, MySQL, PHP, CSS, some Java, etc...
I don't mind learning new skills and actually looking forward to getting started, but I need to know that I am not barking up the wrong tree.
I intend to make this an open source project and not as a commercial product.
My dream is to make my phone, my voice-driven computer. Where the phone might not have enough resources, I need to use my main computer as top tier and act as server.
I know ubuntu touch might be a contender but it lacks many drivers for GPS, Propriety drivers, etc...
Let me tell you about my idea first as a high level plan due to my ignorance of the details of this implementation.
I want to make my phone (Nexus 4) be able to listen to my commands via a Bluetooth headset (Through a speech recognition engine), and tell me in in natural speech, things that I need to know or care about. For example: "You have a new email from David. Do you want me to read it or display it?" Sort of like what is now a movie called "Her" without the science fiction and the lovey dovey story part .
I want to write an internet agent that would search the net (from a list of sites) for what I am interested (through an AI program like freehal.net), and keep them for display in the order of relevance when I query it.
I also need to take over the telephony hardware when needed. For example: A call comes in, I want to be able to look-up their number in my database of contacts, if an entry is found, to tell me "Sam is calling. Do you want to answer it?"
I also want to keep a black list table where I know they are trying to sell me something and answer the phone (without me pushing any buttons) and tell them that I am not interested in answering their calls and that they are on my black list. Then hangup. Without sending them to voice mail.
I tried asking the android community on Google 2 years ago to ask why the SDK doesn't provide telephony API front end to answer the call without user interaction, but got no replies.
I've installed ubuntu on my laptop to learn Linux and got it working properly after a couple of days and have downloaded and installed all the programs and sdks I think I'd need. There are a lot of interesting projects in AI and user agents going on and I like to participate in them once I am up to par with the linux environment.
Can anyone give me some guidance, pointers or what to look for. If there are any project in development that I could join, would be much appreciated.
I tried to explain my interest as best as I could. If you need more info, please let me know.
Thanks for all your help guys.
Im looking to hire a developer for an android application. The application is not terribly complicated, and we need it for our internal use primarly. We need to have the application check the location of a device and create tickets in our PSA when a tech goes on location then close a ticket when they leave. We also need the application to log phone calls (and text messages) as tickets when "clients" call/text someone.
I have a complete flow chart how the application should work. I am currently using 3 applications to accomplish the same thing, i would really like to build our own and have one app to run, as well as refine it a little.
Please contact me if you have the experience necessary to complete this and are interested int he work. I fully expect to pay for this development and am willing to pay accordingly.

Hello all,
I am low vision legally blind and I am looking for a programmer to create an application. Basically a camera application that can be controlled via the devices hardware buttons, Bluetooth mouse and voice command.
Basically this NuEyes running as an application on the ODG R7 Smartglasses rather than the OS overlay (i think that's the term) that is currently used.
EDIT 20150627: I thought I would add a little more information in here to try and make my stumbling rambles clear. What I am basically looking for is something with the features of Visor that can be controlled using the unused option buttons on the R7's finger mouse and optimally respond to basic voice commands such as "change filter" to rotate through the 3 visual settigns as well as "increase" and "decrease" for magnification. I really love the A Better Camera style interface and would love to include a night vision setting like the one it has as this would be very useful in low light situations to help my night blindness. Please let me know if this is possible, I really need the help coming up with an alternate solution to the extremely expensive NuEyes software package. /EDIT
Being a complete novice I would like to know what would be involved in this application. What would the programmer require from ODG, framework, sample code, ext, and what kind of costs would I be looking at for the initial application and maintenance.
The reason I am asking is though I believe companies have a right to make profits and recoup R&D costs is that the NuEyes system costs about $6000, that works about to about $2K wholesale for the glasses and $4K for the software. I"m just so frustrated by how much every piece of adaptive tech for the blind costs. Every time one of us needs a piece of tech we have to sell our souls to the devil to get it.
If this isn't the correct forum to post this request in please let me know of a more appropriate location. Thank you.
Updated with clarification of project goal.
Hi! I'm a high school student and part of a team entering a competition where you have to pitch an app idea. For our idea we were thinking of helping people keep track of the foods in their kitchen and sending notifications to them when their foods are soon to be expired. Obviously there would be a lot of data involved in this (how long each food lasts) and we would need to keep the information of many foods to make an effective app.
Our competition was more about the idea side of things than the actual development, and I know nothing about app development, so I was wondering If anyone could explain how this information of mine could be stored (Through cloud i think) and link me to somewhere the could highlight the costs involved.
Anything would be appreciated, and also just general feedback of any difficulties or problems that this app idea could face as well.
Thanks so much!
You would need to either A. Keep the info on a private server that the app can tap into. This would be the fastest and most accurate method. Or B. You can have it pull from pre-defined websites. This will make it drag and unstable should the sites changes anything.
