Reverse engineering market apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I want to reverse engineer n7player, change its UI add features, ect. and republish it to the play store. I was wondering how much I would have to change it to republish it. Also if you're interested in developing with me send me a PM (I will pay),
Thanks ahead of time.

Assuming you mean the free version, you can repost it here after changing anything I think. There is no set amount you have to change before doing so, but most people won't want a very slightly changed version. There is also no amount of changes you can make that will make it OK for you to release it as your own app, you will ALWAYS have to make it very clear that it is "a modification of n7player".
If you mean the paid version, you cannot directly redistribute your modified version. You can possibly distribute the changed files from within the APK, but you cannot distribute the full APK.
Also, I don't think modified apps are allowed on the Play Store, you can only really post them places like here on XDA.

Ok. Then can you point me in the right direction for creating a player I know Java, just not the android development process

Moving to Q&A

Check the Android Developers website for tutorials and information about Android Development. It'll have all the information you need.
I believe the SDK Samples also includes a simple sample of MediaPlayers.
Get started on learning Android Development. You won't really get anywhere with Android if you only know Java.
Also, you should do this to create your own special and unique media player and not try to reverse engineer another developer's app to release it as your own. Give yourself some confidence and come up with a better idea.

Build own App

Hee,
I was wondering what is the best program or site to build your own android apps?
Jay448
google
you are long way from home, my friend. there is GOOGLE and your going to spend a day on reading its not like posting on this forum.
the web site "Stack Overflow" helps me a lot!
and if i had problem,i google it.
If you have to ask, app developing probably isn't for you...
The official Android Developer's Guide has a pretty good intro to Android app development. However, you need to know how to program in Java before you start with this guide.
If you know C++ you could make it without Java, since you can build apps using C++ if your target platform runs Android version 2.3 or higher. I would however recommend learning how to develop apps in Java first.
Sorry, I can't link to the developers guide because this is my second post in this forum and outside links are not allowed, but you could search for "android developer guide" on google and you should find it.
Happy deving, wish you best of luck
In my experiment, best way to learn new tech is try to make something with it rather than read document and tutorial.
There are many open source android on code.google.com, choose one of theme then try to custom it by adding feature, improve user experiment...
anddev and stackoverflow is good place to solver issue.

I actually just started learning Java and it's quite difficult for a beginner to learn all this stuff in short amount of time. It will probably take years to fully understand this sort of stuff.
Sites to learn Android App Development from
Lars Vogel Android Tutorial
Official Android Developer Site
TheNewBoston Video Tutorial on YouTube
The best software to develop Android Apps would be
Eclipse - Juno - Either the Java or the JEE version (I personally use the Java x64 version)
Photoshop - for image editing
Illustrator - for SVG based image editing
There are instructions on the Android Dev Site on setting up Eclipse for App Dev

How to develop an application for Android?

I want to develop a new sms application for Android that suits my needs without all the extra stuff I don't need..
But where do I start, and is it difficult to get it done?
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

As a concept it shouldn't be ultra hard to develop, but it all depends how complex you want this sms application to be. As far as how hard it would be to develop such a application depends on your programming expertise. If you have never programmed anything before it's still manageable but it would take a lot of time and effort. Still take a look at some of these links that can hopefully get you started.

Good luck
Tasker (when run on GB or later) now comes with App factory, which allows you to conver tasker projects to Apps (no copyright problems... tasker allows you to do whatever you want with those created Apps, just mention tasker in your credits).
Seems like one of the easier options to me for developing simple applications for someone starting completely from scratch.
(I'm not a developer, take it fwiw).

[Q] Where/How to start devoleping?

For awhile now I've wanted to start getting into coding/development.. I want to make apps for Android, but I don't know where to start, or how I would go about learning. I currently use Code Academy to get the basics down, but I was wondering if anyone could actually help me get going?
(Also sorry if I posted in the wrong area. I'm kinda new to the whole forum thing)

In order to develop apps for Android you will need a good understanding of Java. Since it sounds like you have some previous programming experience from Code Academy (I used there Python track as a basis for learning Python and it was great), I would recommend checking out this great free course from Udemy, (Free and material is self paced) on the basics of Java development. To move on to Android then I would recommend checking out the official Android developer training and documentation. Also XDA's app development forum section has a wealth of information for Android app development. Let me know if you still have questions.

How to make theme/launcher app in App Inventor 2?

Actually I wish I could be able to use my App Inventor programming skills to develop a fully or partially functional launcher apps. But there's no functionality present over that platform. I Googled every bit of information available over the Internet but alas i didn't find anything useful and additionally I didn't want my hands to get dirty on programming complex codes to create such app. So I arrived to this forum and finally decided to ask advanced members of XDA-DEVELOPERS forum to find solutions for my query.
Okay, now I realised after much experimenting with AI2 that so isn't possible at all!
Lol, just mess it up and use other tools.
For those who want to create their own theme can visit redraw.io by T-me/Timmy Studios.

You are new to Android development? Consider reading this post!

Hi everyone. I want to share some resources that may helpful for anyone who still don't know where to start.
If you don't have any background, consider learning programming using Scratch or Alice. It seems just suitable for kids but actually for everyone who want to think logically.
If you have some basic background and want to have solid Java background (which I recommend) before moving to Android development, you should start with "Head First Java". They also have "Head First Android", but personally I don't like it so much.
After you have a solid Java background, you can start learning Android using this free course on Udacity. It has 5 parts that cover everything that you need to make literally any app on Play Store.
After you completed the above course, let's make your own project. You don't have to learn other courses or textbooks in order to make an app. You should try to make your own app using what you have learned with the above course. When you making your project, you will encounter real-life problems. By solving it (using Google, StackOverflow, XDA, other tech forums, ...), you will learn more than any course or textbook can help you.
I hope you will find this post helpful for you. If anyone has a question, please leave your question below
Hi, new user here. Thanks for the read
Hi,
I just signed up on this forum and came across this thread and so decided to post a question. First, i have been a full-stack developer and now working on Cloud, AI/ML but android mobile app development is new to me and i am pursuing a self-paced training. My intention is to start off by learning the basics of android and the ide, the various elements and work my way up to the advanced level. Then start learning and work on flutter. I have a fair bit of experience on Java as i have developed java enterprise and web application (JSP, applet based) in the past.
Right now, i am looking at the Android Basics to Advanced nanodegree program offered by Google on the android site, udemy, udacity, etc and lots others on the internet. just wanted your opinion which course would be a good place to start.
Thanks.
