Play Store hijacking focus after dialog - bug? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone know what could be done about this?
basically if the Play Store app is still running in the background - which is going to be the case for most users once they first download and install the app - after interaction with any in-app purchase-related dialog box the Play Store is brought back into focus and users must make there way back to the app to complete tasks. how can this be prevented?
reported this a s a bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=32878
it has been noticed that a similar app does not launch Google Play as a separate process at the point of sale, but ours does. could this be a factor and/or is Google Play being launched an undesired action, result of a coding error?

[Q] Child lock all apps but whats on homescreen(s) ?

Didn't find anything like what i need at this moment.
My galaxy Tab gets abused by my daughter messing with non-game apps and settings, very recently to the point of factory reset...
So my question: how do i lock out everything except for whats on desktop/homescreen... preferably without changing launcher/theme.
(Block use of 16-square icon/button, which takes you to app list/folder)
Currently my Tab is on Overcome Kratos 3.1.0.
Help ???
try an app on the marketplace called Kid Mode. I use it for my nephew and neices with my nexus s. It has some games it comes with but you can add any otherones you want to it as well. they can only run what you specify and and can't leave the app without a pin/password. Works pretty well.

I use CleverLock - Free at Google Playstore
You can create your child his/her own home screen. I use CleverLock at Google PlayStore. It is free and simple way to choose the apps that my child can only access. I can also set the number of minutes that my daughter can play before my Samsung Galaxy S2 automatically locks. This is to limit her play time in my device.
Child Proof Gadget-Child Lock
A new app is there in google play store. It is also useful if your kid is playing with your android phone. It has all required features, with this its size is very small and it is harmless for your phone. It locks phones homescreen, calls, sms, settings everything which you don't want to allow the kid. it has a facility to create separate 'kid area', where kid can access only allowed apps.
App name : Child Proof Gadget-Child Lock

Request Words With Help For Friends

Words With Help For Friends recently updated and the new version is not compatible with the Nook Tablet. In search of the APK for version 2.9.0.
This is a paid app that you are requesting here. Please read the rules about posting and asking for warez.
As such, it shows my NT as an available device from the market.
Yes, I own the legit version of the app and it worked fine till recent updates caused the keyboard to get cropped. The developer does not support the Nook because it's not suppose to have market access.
I found the older version was still posted at the Amazon App store and was able to secure a copy before it was updated.
Thanks for the input.
Why don't you use free online tools by simply opening chrome app and opening the url rather than installing apps for a simple work like this and eating enough memory of the android phone. I generally seek help from https://wordmaker.info/words-with-friends-finder.php for solving riddles

can someone help me by telling me how to overcome a problem downloading apps?

whenever I try to download an app I get this message "your device isn't compatible with this version"
please take into consideration that this is my first android tablet
and I have very little technical expertise
also I don't know the technical jargon or terms used on this site
when I posted my Problem before I was shut down and redirected to another forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398788
which I gathered from the thread that apps in google playstore are not always accessible due to various countries terms and laws
I have used the search engine extensively, read every thread related to my issue and it confused me even more
the apps I need are vital it is life are death
they are Vlingo and Robin
how do I Work around this issue?
Maybe the message is true and the apps are really not compatible with your device
Anyway, there is a plugin for google chrome called apk downloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100617 I'm not sure whether it allows you to download apk files that aren't compatible with your device but it may be worth a try. But if the apps crash or just don't work, don't be surprised!

[Q] App Store Optimisation for a game

Hi everbody,
I released my first game on Android recently, but I have no idea how Google Play organises its search results.
The game is called 'Get to Zero' by Will Wu and it doesn't show up as the first result when you type it in Google Play search.
Like wth? I've read up on it and it seems that Google Play also includes the app description as part of the search. That's not really fair is it considering the thing I'm searching for perfectly matches the title of the app.
The only way to search for my game seems to be adding my name at the end of the search i.e. 'get to zero will wu'. I imagine what could be the case is the name of my game includes very common words 'get' and 'to' which Google Play might filter as part of the search .
So I'd like to ask, how does one increase ASO for something like this?
Any help is much appreciated!
I also have a thread on XDA for the game here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/game-to-zero-youve-played-puzzle-game-t3108522 if you want to give feedback

Creat an app that crawl websites in background task (Android App of course)

Hello
I'm not a developer but I'm in the process of creating specifications to find a freelance developer to create an app that will be on the Play Store. =)
I'd like to have your insight to see if my application is "possible" regarding the compatibility of various smartphones under Android BUT ALSO regarding the rules imposed by Google for an application to be available on the Play Store.
I want to make an app where you enter the URL of a website, the app will crawl (background task) the site that can have 10,000 pages for example. And the app checks if there are dead links on the site (404 pages, sites that are no longer available etc.).
The app must therefore visit all the pages of the site entered by the app user, with his IP and from his device. It must make all these requests in the background throughout the day.
Does this seem possible ?
Does this sound acceptable to the Play Store rules ?
Do you think it's feasible on the vast majority of Android smartphone models in the world (Nokia, Oppo, Samsung...) ?
Thanks a lot for your help anyway
