Hi Guys,
For the volleyball team i'm playing we are introducing digital game sheets. So basically all the official documentation for a game is done via a website. We want to buy several tablet which are able to do this, basically as it is an HTML5 website a simple android tablet would do the trick.
My question is the following, how can we limit those tablets that only a single website can be displayed or a set of domains and that they are not allowed to switch apps?
Thanks for the help.

Not to sure if anyone has heard of Hexxeh before but here is a short wiki descript regarding Chromium OS builds: "By May 2010, compiled versions of the work-in-progress source code had been downloaded from the Internet more than a million times. The most popular version was created by Liam McLoughlin, a 17-year-old college student in Manchester, England, posting under the name "Hexxeh". McLoughlin's builds boot from a USB memory stick and included features that Google engineers had not yet implemented, such as support for the Java programming language"
Anyhow several Google videos show that he has successfully managed to boot one of his Chromium OS builds called "Flow" on a tablet. And was wondering if anyone has thought about doing this.
His main website: http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/
I've used Flow on a laptop. Not very useful on a tablet - it's basically just a back end for a web browser, with no (well, minimal) apps. Useful for giving to the kids to play web games without breaking your system. However, using the Android OS built for tablets you get access to all the apps.
Looks like someone is working on it!

Hi
First time poster so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this or posted before, as I can't seem to find any info!
I am an an android and c# developer and although possibly not a majorly technical question I am just wondering what the options are:
Can you block or restrict websites on an android mobile?
In windows if I want a simple way to stop someone getting at a website I would just stick it in the hosts file and direct it somewhere else. You can also buy programs that will block certain websites.
What are the options to do something similar on a android mobile? Ideally something that can't be easily detected or uninstalled?
I'm thinking for kids with mobiles.
The home PC would be completely locked down, especially with a developer as a parent, but I don't know how you would lock down the mobiles internet?

Well.. I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I have just discovered Android does have a hosts file!
I shall be testing that out later to see if it works!
I've looked around the forums and the web, but all I've been able to find are apps that allow remote desktop from the android device to a computer.
What I'm wondering, does Android have the ability to support some kind of remote login? through telnet, or rdp, or somesuch.
And if it doesn't support it natively, would it be possible for an app to create a remote session on the device? I spend a good portion of my time at work logged in remotely into other computers, and have been thinking about our society's higher focus on mobile devices, and it seems like it would be fairly useful to be able to remote into a mobile device, like android.
Anywho, I haven't been able to find much on it, so I'll look forward to your responses.
There's an app for that.
Hey Brandon. I don't mean to spam, honestly, but I actually work for a software developer that makes a remote control solution for Android for remotely screen sharing with the device over wi-fi or 3g. It also works for PCs and Macs as well. You can PM me for more details. I don't want to SPAM my company name over the forum.
Btw, the solution doesn't require rooted devices which is another bonus!

I found a solution its called teamviewer quick support. This is recently launched and allows connection into android pho e.
Do not be confused with the team viewer for pc. This is a different application and available to download from Google play store
Make sure you add " quick support" after team viewer to download right app.
Hi friends,
I need advice on a pressing issue I am facing right now about an android app I got developed through a freelancer.
I am webmaster of a website for numerology enthusiasts. On this website, we were offering a numerology calculator (basically a combination of html pages with some javascript embeded - all compiled in an .exe format) Later, on some suggestions, we decided to prepare an Android version of this tiny program by hiring a programmer of South India. It was 2011 and the Gingerbread was the prevalent Android platform. The programmer created the App and we published it on Android Market where it is still available on playstore (search for com.namecalculator.lite on playstore and the first result 'Your Lucky Name' is the app in question.)
The problem is that this was an app which was not compatible with the later version of Android. As such, after sometimes, when the ICS version of Android was launched, the app stopped working for ICS devices. As of now, except for some old Android devices, this App is useless.
When I contacted the guy who originally developed this App, he told that the source file of the Apps were not saved by him and as such, he expressed his inability to do anything about it. He told me that if I again wanted him to develop the app for later versions of Android (like ICS, Jellybean etc), I will have to pay him the full development fee as he will have to start again from scratch.
Since my website is only a hobbyist website with negligible revenue, it was not possible for me to again hire this programmer just to develop an upgraded version of the app.
As of now, a very popular part of my website (the app) has become unavailable for its intended users. In this background, I want guidance on the following:-
(1) If an App is already built for an earlier Android version, does making it compatible with future/latest version of Android require the same amount of energy and effort which was needed when the app was developed the first time?
(2) Since the App in question is basically a compilation of html files with some javascript embeded in some pages, will it be really difficult to reconstruct the app if the source file of earlier app has been lost ?(I still have the raw html pages with me)
(3) I am not a programmer but have experience of web-designing, creating blogs etc. Can I self taught myself to create the above mentioned app by reading and following the online tutorials ? If yes, what in your opinion is the expected time an average learner (with no programming background) can do it? Also kindly point me to some good tutorials.
(4) Any other advice on the above issue some of you might be having ?
Regards
Eklavya
Hi,
I am planning to develop a solution requiring access:
- from a PC, via a website
- and from a smartphone, via an Android/iPhone app
I would like to develop once in html5 and then generate a website and Android/iPhone apps from it. Which development framework can I use for this?
Regards, Chris
