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!

I am an aspiring android developer trying to teach myself the language. I would like to find a project, maybe open source, that I can get involved in as a real world experience with android programming.
I am wondering if there are people here that are either working on, or who could recommend, a project that I could join? I think that working on a modern app would be a great way for me to continue my learning. I have been working with books, but I worry that the information might not be completely up to date.
I am excited to get involved with real world app programming. I hope to be helpful to any project that I join Thanks to everyone in advance!
Hi MastrFett,
It is great to see how exiciting a person could be when learning. I do not have a project but I recommend you to do one for your own.
When doing something that you are going to release you do the best of yourself and you learn much more. Facing real problems is very exciting. There are lot of things that a book wouldn't explain you; you will discover them when you know that not only you is going to use your app.
Try something and upload it on Google Play. Don't get bored reading questions/answers on StackOverflow -it will be your best friend :laugh:-
Patedit,
Thanks. My only problem is I don't feel like I have many good ideas of my own right now. I think the few I have would require algorithms more advanced than my level of skill. I'll have to keep thinking.
I was just hoping to find something that would give me the chance to just jump in head first on a project right away. I do eventually want to do something on my own when I come up with the right idea.
You need a good idea if you want to become rich
If you want to learn, you don't need great ideas I know it could be frustrating at first... Imagine something you need or that will help you in your daily use of your smartphone.
For example, yesterday I made for me a widget in which I could see the next alarm time. With pressing on the widget, the Alarm Clock app is launched. That could sound 'easy' but it took me several hours. I did it because I wanted a nice widget to do so and a shortcut to the Alarm Clock app which I didn't have.
Good luck!
There is an app idea I had, but I found out there are a lot that already do what I want on google play. Should I still make the app for experience? I don't know if it is worth it if the app already exists.

Definitely.
There are already three apps like mine (see my signature)
But I still made it and posted it. Result : 110,000 downloads and #11 in the Top New Paid category last week
About a month ago I started learning Android development (long time web developer). The first thing I wanted to make was a todo app that approached things in my own way which is a bit different from what's out there already. Basically, focus on time (specifically right now, this next hour for example) rather than a bunch of lists, categories, tags, future future planning, etc.
I still have a few more things I want to add but I think it works well now and I'm looking for some alpha testers. If you'd like an invite please PM your address and I'll add you to the G+ tester group so you can access the app in the play store or search for "do.now" community.
Thank you.
I have also attached an APK and some screenshots.

Hi there. I'm not interested in testing (no offense, I'm just lazy and I don't use To Do lists so wouldn't even know what was special about it), but I might suggest you post in the the http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games . It might be an amazing app, but people aren't in this particular forum looking for new apps to try so much. Just don't want you to get discouraged. Thanks for helping add to the community!
Introduction:
XDictionary adds a quick dictionary search popup button to text you select. The popup is extremely non-intrusive (similar to iOS), and appears next to the Paste/Replace buttons. It then opens the definition of the selected word.
Now, you don't need to bother with opening your dictionary app, typing in the whole word and hitting search - it's essentially just a one-click procedure.
IMPORTANT: after installing, run the app, and allow it to copy dictionary data to external memory. If the app force closes, delete the folder /xdictionary, and reboot. For a proper install, there should be nine files in /xdictionary/dict - the folder will be around 33 megabytes. If all else fails, you can manually make the folders, and download the files from here.
Limitations:
Currently only works in text input fields where Paste/Replace do show up. Making it global for all text is high priority.
Supports only English. Support for other languages may or may not happen, depends on the response.
Bugs:
May break for certain OEM skins or ROMs with heavily modified UIs.
Occasional force closes when you try to copy dictionary data
Source:
https://github.com/vinit-ivar/XDictionary
Future:
Module has been abandoned, as of now; support for custom UIs and ROMs that modify standard AOSP is unlikely. When and if Xposed is ported to Lollipop, I shall start working on porting the module.
Donate:
If you liked the app, and you're feeling generous, do buy the Google Play version! Developing while going through college can be pretty tiring work, and I like the way this app is going.
Download:
The APK is attached; knock yourselves out!
Changelog:
Code:
1.1.0 - dictionary is now offline.
1.0.0 - added support for Toast (donate) and popup windows.
0.9.0 - initial version.
Great idea man will def try and let you know.

Awesome idea. Support for the dictionary.com app would be the best place to start, IMO (it's the most popular, and their widget is great). Merriam-Webster and Oxford English also have apps. If you figure this out, you could also extend it to search Wikipedia, which would be a fantastic idea too.
I don't know nothin 'bout programming or porting, but something similar to the way those Words with Friends cheat apps have a built-in dictionary search might be something to look in to.
Looks like a great app. Just took the leap and purchased through Google Play because of all the potential features mentioned in the reddit thread.
Upon installation though it does not appear to work?
Perhaps I misunderstood the functionality of this module so could you give me a scenario to try to test? I'm not given the option to define when selecting text in Chrome(address bar), or Hangouts (text input field).
I'm running SlimKat ROM with their gapps.
Not working here either on 4.0.4 stock S3. tested many apps.
Lol. Very nice. And useful. Thank you.

Is it possible for the "define" button to not show up next to paste when pasting something that is more than one word?

I'm sorry to hear that; maybe SlimKat have modified their code.
Give me a day, I'll get back to you ASAP. Meanwhile, could you take a screenshot of the Paste/Replace thing?

Is this the same problem RedBeardT was facing? If so, could you perhaps take a screenshot? It'll help.

@perseus0807
Thx for the speedy reply.
Probably no need for screen shot. I simply don't get any extra button or text when highlighting text anywhere whether in a input box or on a page etc. But I get my usual copy/paste etc. Let me know how else I can help.
Cheers
@RedBeardT:
Give me 'til tonight, maybe tomorrow, I'll do my best to have a solution or a fix up.
@themadproducer: okay, scratch what I said earlier; that was for another ROM. Can I have a screenshot anyway? Some manufacturers skin the buttons, which may lead to the problems.
Good, will wait for installed dicts support, Thanks!

Great work!
Would like to see a german version or support for german dictionaries at some time
Love this, Dutch addition would be great!

This isn't working but i really hope it does asap. I'm on xperia u AOSX 4.4.3 pure aosp.
I'm using this module on rooted Stock LG E970. The define button does appear in text selection menu but it's overlapping with the other button (select all) in that menu.
This is not dev's fault at all. LG has modified the system heavily like other OEMs. I'm attaching the screenshot, but if dev needs any other device/ROM specific information like systemui.apk etc, I'll happily provide that.

Thank you for understanding! Actually, there is something ROM specific I do need - the frameworks/base/core/java/android/widget/Editor.java file. I'm not sure if it'll be present in all ROMs, but I'd love it if you had a look.

Does this imply that an update of the module will be required with each update of the ROM?
Hello everyone.
I hope someone knows the Iyan 3D App for Android and iOS.
Now, I'm calling for developers to make some variations on it.
Please, see: https://sites.google.com/view/iyan3d to know what I would like.
I know this page misses details, just ask and I'll update it.
Now the Iyan 3D App is OpenSource and so doing modifications is 100% fair and legal.
Let me know.
