I would like to create an Android app that can view the stream from an IP camera. Basically all it will need is a settings screen where you can set the IP address for the stream that you'd like to view and another screen that shows the camera stream. I won't need to worry about any pan/tilt/zoom functionality.
I'm quite new to all this and I was just wondering what resources I'd need to look for? I've had a play with the App Inventor tutorial but I'm not sure if I can get it to do what I want without further knowledge.
Is there anyone that could give me a nudge in the right direction?
Thanks in advance for your help.

personally i use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rcreations.ipcamviewer&feature=search_result for all my cameras at my house. not sure if this is what you were looking for or if you wanted to have an app built that does the same thing?

It's for the company I work for, we'd want an app that would show the stream from our camera. I said I'd look into creating a simple app that would have the company logo and info in it. I've looked at IP Cam Viewer and other apps for an idea of what you can get done.
I don't suppose anyone is able to help me with this? I thought it might be a long shot!

Upon finding out that I can't upload my programs made in app inventor to the market (currently google restricts this), I decided to help some other AI developers out and allow them to post their apps for download on my website: www.xxthe3dmanxx.com
Curently I am only accepting apps that fall under these requirements.
1) The app must be useful to the android community (no fart or porn type apps)
2) The app must be free (currently I have no way to accept paid apps)
3) OpenSource is recommended but not required.
4) The app must have been made by you.
5) Only app inventor made apps will be accepted.
If you are interested send me a pm with a description of your app and your name for (application credit), if your app is a beta please list known issues with it. If I approve your app I will send you info on where you can send your app. Also if you would like, once your app gets approved you can also send me an icon for your app and I will replace the stock app inventor icon for you (currently there is no way to do this inside app inventor).
Please allow 2 days for a response from me.
Thats a great offer,
OK well I'm trying to make a simple app that lets people record voice messages, like " there is ice on the road here" and allow other users to be able to see such warnings before they get to the point in question. I thought it could be used with a compass to determin the direction of travel.
With out building a whole navigation system, do you thinkthis could be achieved ?

I like the idea. Sounds difficult but just about anything is possible. Its gonna require a nice database. Let me know how it goes.
a friend of mine had the idea of making an app and thought that id bring it to life, well the idea is that it lets u choose which keyboard u want to use in landscape mode and portrait mode, example being swype in portrait and stock keyboard in landscape... can this be done?

Possibly the app would have to recognize which way the phone is and auto switch the default keyboard for you.

Except that Andriod security stuff restricts that. You can't auto-change the keyboard, you can pop up the dialog to select one, but you can't change it without user intervention.
It makes sense, as keyboards can steal passwords and such, so you don't want to allow a trojan to install a keylogger AND enable it. It would be nice if they would let you pick keyboards to enable switching between though.
This could be bypassed, but it would require a full custom ROM built from source.

My real estate business software that I have use was specifically designed to ONLY work on I.E. How, how can I get it to work on my Galaxy Tab 10.1. ? I am very concerned it wont work. Thanks
Lol.. you should just slap the developer of that software for using Internet Explorer.
It's very hard to tell you how to fix something until you've tried it and know for sure it doesn't work, and why. If it's a matter of crappy code that browsers besides IE barf on, then you may be able to work around it somehow. If it's using ActiveX or some IE-only feature, you're out of luck.
The best workaround to use a windows only application is to run it on your desktop at your work or home and then connect to it using a service like VNC.
A very good and easy to set up solution is to use Splashtop Remote HD (9.99 in the Market) and run the streamer on your host PC. http://www.splashtop.com/remote
This will allow you to use any windows application on your tablet.

why not just spoof the browser user agent to that of IE. see if that works?

Not that it's necessarily the case here, but UA spoofing is probably not going to be the issue.
Most websites that are "For IE ONLY" either are written to conform to the arcane and stupid rendering of Internet explorer (pre version 8), or use ActiveX, neither of which can be spoofed with a UA string change.

ahh that explains it !! I'd punch the dev for making something IE specific only !!

It's time to upgrade your archaic broken software. IE6 went EOL more than a year ago. Good riddens.
Now that I am here with all my knowledge I will provide the correct answer.
Splashtop Remote Browser
This app will allow you to use any browser remotely as if it were a real app installed on your tablet. Its 100 times better than trying to remote in with ultra slow laggy vnc or other crude remote desktop apps and running a browser that way.

I am hoping to find a Scanner app that will let me scan a page by literally *scanning* it with my camera, slowly sweeping the page. Similar to how you can take panoramic photos, and it stitches the images together behind the scenes. I want to use OCR to scan a page into text, but the I find the quality usually isn't good enough for accurate OCR.
Does anyone know of one? Thanks
Don't know about panorama but but did you try Camscanner? It works like a charm. Download it from the market:

Yeah, actually that's what I have now.
Tried emailing a scan to my laptop and my ocr program got nearly anything right, lots of random symbols.
I will try again with better lighting but, surely, there must at least be some app to stitch photos together? Where you take 3 or 4 pics and it fits them to make a seamless high quality image?

I am still missing this app ...
id like to intergrate yatse voice control with tasker and autovoice. id like to be able to say "xbmc" and then have the yatse voice control pop up to open up.
taking it a step further, id like to be able to control xbmc using autovoice itself, for example, open the autovoice popup and say "i want to watch (movie)" and then the system does the rest.
simple in essence, however i cannot find the correct way to do it.
According to the developers if Yatse themselves you should be able to accomplish this with the API.
http://yatse.leetzone.org/redmine/projects/androidwidget/wiki/Api
Not sure but you could try to send an intent with Tasker. Try this for playing a movie:
Profile:
Autovoice recognize:"xbmc"
Task:
Send intent
Action: org.leetzone.android.yatsewidget.ACTION_APP_VOICECOMMAND_PARSER
Extra: org.leetzone.android.yatsewidget.EXTRA_STRING_PARAMS:%avcommnofilter
Target: Service
The %avcommnofilter contains whatever you said after the trigger. Which is 'xbmc' in this case. So the command "xbmc play <movie>" would send org.leetzone.android.yatsewidget.EXTRA_STRING_PARAMS: play <movie> to yatse.
As for play, pause or stop you would use the MEDIA_COMMAND instead of the PARSER.
Let me know if it works. If not, maybe someone else can shed some light. I quite like the idea you've got there.
I don't know what i might be doing wrong, but i tried doing this and i'm not able to get this to work. Is there some special settings i need to have setup on xbmc/yatse?
Update: I got it figured out. Was doing something wrong, but all is good now.

You need to take the spaces out of the action and extra lines. For some reason xda adds them, They aren't needed and are what's screwing it up if you do a direct 1:1 copy of the lines.

Control XBMC from Tasker & AutoVoice
You know, you can take this one step further and actually control XBMC directly from an AutoVoice command just as you were seeking.

Hi.
I'm new here, so apologies in advance if i ask a question that was handled in a previous thread.
I'm looking for a decent app that will allow me to control an android device from a pc. I have a tablet that is being used as a kiosk device and i would like to connect remotely and check the status of apps, run scripts, generally just troubleshoot issues that might pop up from time to time. I would like screen sharing also, that would make things a lot easier. I've tried webkey, teamviewer, airdroid but none of them give me the kind of functionality I need
At the moment I'm using a Nexus 7, but I'd like the app to work on any device. In future we might start using generic android devices, nothing brand-specific.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated

Hey,
once there was ShareKM the dev kinda dropped the projekt. I found some Guides for it because the old version stopped working.
Here is the original thread ShareKM on XDA
If you read it a bit they start to talk about the workarounds.
Hope that helps you I'm also very interested in this.
i found app that will help you to remotely control your tablet

Thanks. But as far as I can see, this only works if the pc and android device are on the same network. My kiosk devices are hundreds of kilometers away, so I need something that works over the internet
