Integration with SilverDict dictionary - Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games

Hi guys,
I hope, this info will be interesting not only for the e-reader apps authors but for all WP app developers who want to add dictionary support to their apps.
Recently I've added ability to call my SilverDict app from any third-party app, by using "silverdict" protocol.
The integration code is very simple:
Code:
await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new System.Uri("silverdict:text=" + (sender as TextBox).SelectedText));
Also, I've added demo project in the post attachment.
You don't need to announce direct link to SilverDict; WP8 will find an app in the store and will offer to install SilverDict automatically.
The first app with SilverDict integration is already available in the store. It's a "Tucan Reader" by Victor Tucan.
WBR, Sergey

Google checkout button in my application

Hi,
I am developing an application and I would like to add a Google checkout button to the applications so users can purchase something.
I can't use inapp as (from what I understand) this is only for payment of digital items from the application.
Can anyone tell me whether I can add this scenario?
1) User visit page on my app
2) chooses some items from drop down menu
3) user clicks checkout button and purchases what he has chosen from drop down menu?
Thanks!

A Social Experiment

I am in the planning stages of creating a social experiment. I am trying to see if it is feasible to develop an app for android to accompany participants using the parameters below. Nothing is set in stone. More could be added as options become available. If you care to know more, just ask. If you can help, that would be a plus.
Android app parameters:
Google Maps Api for proximity alerts to allow a participants to know when a clue is near and for an on-screen visual aid.
Ability to communicate with other app holders whether through text or speech
Integration with G+ - to publicly post what they have found
Ability to track other players real time (ability to disable public player tracking.)
Ability to create a profile to be shared via NFC
Minimize the need for a server to cache information
Minimize graphics
Utilize NFC to collect necessary information at physical locations.
The ability to edit data on a bracelet with an NFC chip embedded within.
The ability to track actions and locations(only when at game designated public locations)
Not sure if I want to embed information in the app or retrieve it on a server. (Information will change on a regular basis.)
Bump. I'm just looking for any kind of feedback on direction

[Looking for] Multi-platform custom dictionary app

Hello dear community,
I am looking for this for quite a while.
Is there an app that will allow me to create my own cloud based dictionary? I want to improve my language skills through creating my own dictionary.
The dictionary database has to be editable online (web based), since I would like to be able copy/paste detailed definitions from different web dicts.
And of course a sync-able android app that will allow me to check some words on the go or learn while in the train
"Now" dictionary is getting pretty closer to what I wish for, but it's only available for smartphones and no browsers.
"Anki cards" is cool too, but they focus on the flip-cards learning feature which I don't frankly need. I will be completely happy with a super simple searchable custom dict.
There are some apps that allow to create custom dict file and then upload it to the SD or whatever and use it. But I want to be able to add words constantly (web or on the go)
I'm thinking - there definitely is such an app, its just me who fail to search of it properly so please help )
cheers,
Kalin
Hi there!
I would like to encourage you to check out the Spreadsheet Memo app: http://spreadsheetmemo.com
Spreadsheet Memo is a flashcard-based learning web application (combined with the power of Google Sheets to store your content) that allows you to quickly memorize things.
Flashcards can bear vocabulary, major historical dates, chemical element names, math/physics equations or even types of dinosaurs
Simply put, any subject matter that can be learned via a question-and-answer format.
You can use it for your study, as a preparation tool, knowledge check for one of your exams or to practice new vocabulary.
Sky is the limit!

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpreadsheetMemo (news, helpful tips and updates notifications)
Twitter: https://twitter.com/SpreadsheetMemo
Example Document (updated with every new release; provides the examples of how to use the new Spreadsheet Memo features)
Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spreadsheet-memo/kkanmehahohgnfcncalgknpbnaiaomeb (you can add the Spreadsheet Memo to your Chrome Apps for quick access - this app is free, no ads and no hidden costs)
The main features and the main goals of the Spreadsheet Memo are:
It helps you to memorize things: and it works! Every lesson is composed with two rounds. The goal of the first (initial round) is to check your brain memory's performance (you reveal the answer and subjectively define its difficulty by choosing one of the following: "I knew it" or "I didn't know"). The second round (final round) is to make sure that you have remembered the new or troubling things. The progress of the current round is presented by the progress bars located near the Question/Answer cards.
Ability to use the Google Sheet documents to store your data: with all the benefits of Google documents like sharing, editing, printing, etc.
Compatible with mobile devices: you can use it on your computer but also on all kinds of your mobile devices. You're not bound to one device. So, whenever you've got some spare time, start the new lesson. You just need a web browser!
Multiple documents: you can use as many different documents as you want. All according to your needs! You can even use the Named Ranges feature offered by Google Sheets. This is a very useful way for slicing your Spreadsheet Memo documents to a smaller parts and describe those parts with friendly names.
Responsive: no unnecessary pages loading - clean, quick and simple.
You can add links and images to your content: sometimes the words are just not enough. You can add an image or a link to the internet resources to enrich your content. It could be especially useful when you prefer some additional visualization for being able to remember things quicker and better.
You can enrich your content by using Wiki Markup - supported types are: Text formatting, Indent text, Lists, Sections, External links, Images and YouTube videos.
You can add mathematical equations or formulas using the TeX or AsciiMath notation.
Your documents stay with you: by using the standard Google Sheet documents you're able to review and edit their content even without the Spreadsheet Memo app.
Secure and safe: all of your documents belongs only to you, no personal info is shared or collected, all connections are made with secure https protocol.
No ads or hidden costs: it's all for free!
Your privacy is very important and you have the right to remain anonymous.
The Spreadsheet Memo was build on the foundations provided by Google (Google Apps Script: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/) and uses all the benefits of this platform, such as:
integration with Google services (e.g. Google Sheets)
single sign-on (you don't need to remember yet another login/password. Let the Google manage and provide access to other apps, like the one to the Spreadsheet Memo app)
built-in security, stability, scalability and efficiency
This app uses the Google Authorization. Thus, when first launched, the Spreadsheet Memo will need your authorization to run. You can read more about it here: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/authorization You don't need to know all about this - the most important info is that your email, login, password or any other personal info will NOT be passed to the Spreadsheet Memo. They will always remain your property.
Your approval of permissions will let the Spreadsheet Memo operate properly and with full capabilities.
And I'm fully aware that all the permissions might look pretty scary at first glance. And that is exactly why I've written all of this - trying my best to make you feel safe and making sure that you are well informed.
So, let me explain those permissions:
View and manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive, View and manage the files in your Google Drive - for being able to find the Spreadsheet Memo documents. This app operates only on Spreadsheet Memo documents, it has no access or even isn't aware of the existence of any other of your Goggle Drive files.
View and manage data associated with the application - for being able to store your preferences using the user properties (those preferences are private and are connected specifically with your Google account)
Allow this application to run when you are not present - for being able to run this app without additional login prompt, when you're already logged into your Goggle account - just to save your time (standard behavior of Google related products)
Know who you are on Google - standard permission to recognize you as a google user (no information is processed or collected)
View your email address, Send email as you: for being able to send you the welcoming mail (with short summary and information about your current Spreadsheet Memo assets). And the best part is that this email will be sent from your account to your account, never leaving your own context. So your email address, as well as your identity, will stay hidden and secure.
And If you don't like this app (something that, I hope, is unlikely going to happen ) you can always revoke its accesses (uninstall it). There are two ways to do this:
Just follow the instruction from https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/authorization#revoking_access_rights
or you can use the Uninstall option provided in the mail that you will receive from Google. It will be sent right after the first launch of the Spreadsheet Memo app. Look for the mail: "More information about Spreadsheet Memo with uninstall instructions." in your inbox. Any documents that you've created will stay in your Google Drive, nothing will be lost.
Wrapping things up: remember that all of your documents belongs only to you, you can uninstall this app any time you want, no personal info is shared or collected, your identity (such as email) is and will remain your own property. From the Spreadsheet Memo point of view, you're anonymous.
You can find some additional info about the Spreadsheet Memo at the https://www.facebook.com/SpreadsheetMemo page - including news, helpful tips and updates notifications.
I've been using flashcard-based apps for quite some time (Super Memo was great!) and I've found them very useful. But every one of them had some things that just doesn't work for me (e.g. troubles with data migration, lack of support for mobile devices, no statistics, etc.) - so I've decided to write my own.
One line of code to another and the idea transforms into something with its own domain name and Facebook/Twitter page.
So, feel free to check it out. And if you have any thoughts about it (like/dislike, opinions, reviews, ideas) please leave a comment. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Google EMM work profile DPC submit

We are developing a EMM for Android. We choose work profile for now and later will implement other methods. We already signed up in EMM community and created the MSA from API console.
We ran through the Google's Test DPC code and developed our app with Google's gudelines. For now we covered the mandatory features.
My question is what Google's expect from us. Do they just need the app to be uploaded in alpha channel or do they need the EMM console to test the app? Because we are still in develop stage and want gooole to whitelist us to make use of EMM API to provision Enterprise sign up. I googled and didn't get clear steps. Also how to communicate to Google regarding our EMM App is published in Store and ready for EMM approval.

Problems about HTML5 quick app

1. How can I implement SSO for an HTML5 app? For example, what can I do if I want to allow a user who has signed in to HTML5 app A using an account to sign in to another HTML5 app automatically using the same account?
HTML5 apps support the SSO capability. You only need to ensure that the app package names of the two HTML5 apps end with h5.generated.
2. Is the running status of an HTML5 quick app on a mobile phone with GMS installed the same as that with HMS Core installed? Do users have different experience?
An HTML5 quick app uses the web component to load an HTML5 URL. The web component is equivalent to the WebView component in Android. Huawei WebView is compatible with Android. Web-related attributes in quick app code are available in Android WebView. Therefore, user experience is the same in theory.
3. Can I open a quick app using a URL? What are the differences between the URL of an HTML5 quick app and a common web page URL?
Yes. You can start a quick app by embedding a deeplink for redirection.
They have no difference. Theoretically, the URL of a common web page can be opened using the quick app web component.
4.Can I remove the lightning icon in the lower right corner of the quick app home screen? Can I display only the icon like a common app?
The lightning icon is fixed in the product design and cannot be removed.
