Hi there,
i got a little problem:
I got a Loxon (loxone.com) home automation system.
In there, there's a function to open app from URLs, as far as i understood it works through the intent service, for example i tested with success the yatse xbmc remote.
I launched the app through yatse:// as defined on the yatse developers web page.
So and now my problem:
as far as i understand the apps developer needs to define a custom intent sheeme in the apps manifest.xml
But there aren't many app developers using the custom intents, so i want to add the feature by myself.
I read about it on many websites but never got it to work. i don't need actions defined, such as open sms app and preinsert the number, just open the apps, for example squeezeplayer:// for the squeeze box apk.
Could anyone please give me a before-after example for an app? That would be awesome.
I know about decompiling apks, editing the manifest so no need for an detailed step-by step.
I know about a negative side effect after editing the manifest if an app update is installed the changes go away, but thats sometihing i can live with. (set aut update off):silly:
Thanks in advance
Edit
: i found this on stack overflow for opening apps through url but never got it to work:

Hi
I'm new to android dev and I'm trying to make an application for internal use among people in the company and partners. Its a very simple app, and I think I can cover most of the coding, but what I can't is connection to a remote mysql database. Its used to verify login credentials and edit certain columns (without it, app is useless).
From what I understand, its suppose to work like this: SQL > PHP > APP where the app pulls info from a php script located on the remote server. My issue with this is Java, which I'm very new to. I'm looking for someone to guide me through making that first bridge (I tend to make more, where I can pull sql data from app to show some stats or whatever)
Thank you

If you're into web development and performance is not an issue, then you can try the webview instead of coding natively. At that time, you'll be using more html, javascript, jquery in which you may be more familiar with.

Hi, thank for the swift reply =) I thought about it, but I'd like to make it right the first time. It would be nice to make the data available so I can do whatever with it. I did find a tutorial including examples and code on how to connect to sql and pull information, I'm just having a hard time actually implementing it into eclipse.. No idea where to type it in and stuff lol
Hey guys,
I'm really new to this app development and would like to ask one of you experienced developers a question.
Basically I have recently been creating mobile websites from a set of css files which are just a basic template. The template files have individual files for some of the most common pages that a small business would need, google map, contact us with form, menu, opening hours and so on.
What happens is you simply upload the company logo and such into the images folder, update the css style sheet for colours, then simply edit one of the relevant pages e.g place the food items in the menu page.
When the whole set of files gets uploaded it creates a personalised functional business mobile website.
What I would like to know is, would it be possible to set something like this up for an android app? Whereby the user could simply change the details as above and then compile the apk file which will create the app?
Your input is much appreciated, also have any of you got any idea where I could get someone to code something like this?
Regards,
Stephen
I have an idea to integrate the S-Note app with the rest of my Note 3 (Android 5.0 rooted) file system using its undocumented feature of auto-converting URL-like text into clickable links. In a nutshell, I want to click such a link (it recognizes http:// and ftp://) pointing to a local file on my device and have that file displayed in one of the apps supporting it. The obvious way to do that is installing a local http server.
That worked to some extent as expected. However, the webserver app I've found on the Play is in java, have a lot of advanced features I don't need, and thus consuming too much of resources to keep online 24/7...
My question is: what would be the best modern way to achieve what I want? E.g. a small native code single threaded daemon I can autostart on the system's restart to serve my files?
I saw the Native Android Web Server 1.1 but it's not working anymore (see that thread for details).
Hey all,
There's an app I need help updating to either api 24/26 . The app which is meant to interface with the Joyetech Ocular/Ocular C, which is on Google Play,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zijing.joyetech
The problem is, the devs of the app hasn't updated it since api 22, and after sending emails to the devs on multiple channels, there's no response.
Looking at the logcat of an app's activity, the Android app derives keys using the SHA1PRNG algorithm from the Crypto provider, and as of Android N, apps must start using a real key derivation function.
My issue is that:
1: I'm very mediocre at things like this. (Decompile, import into Eclipse, edit as needed, then recompile.)
2: My laptop doesn't have enough space to install Eclipse.
Would anyone with more knowledge on this subject be willing to update this apk for me?
Hello, I am looking Android App Development help please.
I would like to make an Android TV box app and was wondering if I can get some help creating one with the following requirements;
1) Looking for a Template, for starters, so I don't have to code one from scratch since I have no idea of what I'm doing
2) Configure the app to utilize a Username/Password which verifies the account on a server database that I control.
3) Hopefully it will be easy to include a link within the code that reaches out to an XML file on my server or whatever where I have a list of Video Streams/Feeds that the app reads and you can select what video you want to play.
Thank you
Hi I'm not an android coder but a c# coder in terms of a template project, something like this? https://github.com/hitherejoe/AndroidTvBoilerplate
I just searched android TV boilerplate (a boilerplate is template). Hope it helped.
