Do you all share drop box w each other to share apk's and other files? I have shared mine w someone on android central to get some apk's.
I wouldn't share my dropbox account info with anyone. If I need to share files I use the public folder. If I need to get files from someone then they share them with me the same way.
I would definitely make sure you don't have any personal information in any documents that may be in your dropbox account.

If you're talking about sharing paid apps or other warez or copyrighted content, that is strictly prohibited by forum rules. Otherwise, I believe sharing is pretty free around here.
Dropbox has a "public" directory that you can point people to as well as private shared directories that only those you designate via their email addresses can access.

Yesterday I took a picture and wanted to send it to my brother. I wanted to send him a URL to an uploaded file so I could then share that URL with others in the future. I did not want to email a picture because, frankly, it's not as easy as pasting a URL in a GTalk window.
I spent about 10 minutes thinking of all the ways I could do this using Google services and couldn't find any way to do it on my phone. Here are the options I considered:
Option 1) Upload to Google Plus - but viewing the photo in G+ app doesn't provide a public link. SHaring option only presents your standard email, mms, etc. options.
Option 2) Upload to Picasa - but I get the same sharing options as G+ - no option to grab a link.
Option 3) Google Drive. This was the last option, but of course it only presents the same options as before. Now, I can create a public link when I'm at a computer, but not on my Android device.
So I ended up having to upload via the imgur app and just sending that link. I'm okay with that for now, but I'm already uploading to G+ automatically; why can't I just get a public url through the app?
That whole process was very disappointing. I wish Google would give us some way, any way, to share a file via URL through a Google App - specifically, Drive.
Does anyone know how to do it?
Dropbox can generate links, so after you can paste it =)

Thanks. Luckily that would solve it for any file type. I'm still just surprised that no Google apps have a way to do this. At least, none that I know of.
Yep, can generate links for any file. I recommend that put your files into Public directory (Photo directory could work, also).
Sounds like the consensus still is that Google apps have no way to generate a public URL to an image or file from your phone. That's disappointing.
Okay is there an app for this? If both people had the same app and of course had android... Like where I could upload something and they could download it like a mms, or would I have to use cloud sharing? Also which is the best cloud sharing and easiest for both pc and phone? Skybox/Cloud whatever microsoft calls it, dropbox or? I'd like one where I could upload everything from a pc with no transfer/UPLOADING required, just drag ad drop, plus the most storage would help.
Like WhatsApp? But max it allows is 12 MB I believe. For larger sizes I just put it on dropbox and link them to it.
Talking about best cloud service, I don't really know Cuz I don use much of cloud services.
PS - you could just mail em. for larger sizes, Google automatically does it with Google drive.
life!
Yea since posting this, I discovered es file manager has the best cloud storage options, it has 8 cloud services ya can log into (Box, SugarSync, Dropbox, Skydrive, G(oogle)Drive, S3 Amazon, Yandex and Ubunto One) I got WhatsApp so I'll have to try and talk my gf into downloading that for easier file sharing. So far she's just been logging into my cloud's and asking me to load this and that. hahaha
I'm going to add chat functionality to my app. After long searches I came to the conclusion that the best solution would be ejabberd/openfire + smack 4.1 for android, but I have some things that I can't wrap my ahead around. I don't know if I'm supposed to post a question like this here. Just comment if not and I'll delete it, but I don't know of any other place that I can ask.
Now I have a facebook login and some fields that post data to a server and that data is uploaded into mysql tables. I found multiple tutorials on how to make the openfire connection, but once I achieve that am I supposed to forget about my old implementation ? Is openfire just for instant messaging, or does it behave like a server in which I can add tables, query them, add data and etc. ?If so how? I mean in my current configuration I have php which handles all of that, but I couldn't find anything in openfire that would let me do such a thing.
When I configured openfire I saw that a lot of tables are created(ofuser, etc.), and I don't know what any of those are for, but I assume that I'm not supposed to mess with them.
Am I going to implement the auto-registration within the facebook login(user= fb id and password = token)?
Am I going to use openfire just to handle sending the messages, but store them on my current server in a table? It sounds that the phone would have to deal with too much- send the message to my server(to store it) and then to the openfire server?
I would also like to make an website for this app. Should I make it in such a way that when the message is submitted into the php form(to store it) somehow it's going to send it to the openfire to handle the downstream?
How should I implement this?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.:good:
Hi. When I make payments on computer browsers, I can see exactly what URL an app has redirected me to. This helps me ensure that I have not landed on some phishing site. But when I make payments using Android apps, I can't see URL of the landing sites because they don't open in browsers; rather the apps use their own GUI to show everything. Here I can't be sure with whom am I sharing my bank details etc.
So is there a way in which Android addresses this issue or how can I check where my apps are exactly taking me to (URL) for payments etc?
Yes!
You may check the xml files of the app and find the link with the help of an app called XML VIEWER AND EDITOR.

I have a situation involving tinder. I managed to get myself banned through their platform by using sarcastic profile details that was violation of their policy. I kind of was playing with fire here as I had continued to see fake accounts make it onto the platform, and wanted to test their security. I basically ****ed myself.
So I've contacted them and they told me that my phone number and Facebook was banned. I used new phone numbers, Facebook accounts, play store account, a VPN, even a new device to see if they were able to ban based on the MAC address of the device. I still manage to get auto banned. So I think it was because tinder communicates with Facebook automatically. I am unable to use my Facebook on the device I use with a tinder account. My question is this: is there a way to block applications from communicating with each other behind the scenes, as in a way for tinder to not be able to see that Facebook is even installed. I know there has to be a way. I'm actually more interested in learning about this way than I am with using tinder. It's quite funny, actually. :laugh:
Are there any devs that know if there's a way to edit the coding of the program and how to do it? I do recall there being an app that allows you to change the structure of an app by altering it's values such as true to false or 000 to 001 etc.
Feel free to move this post or redirect me. I was gonna post this in the Android mods tab, but it says devs only so I figure I'd respect that fwiw.
