[Q] Looking for receipt app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask.
I'm looking for a simple app with very specific functionality: I should be able to take a picture of a receipt, tag it with an amount and a date. It will then store it on the phone or "in the cloud" (cringe). I should be able to generate reports by date range that give me the sum of amounts between those dates. Ideally it would also be able to generate a PDF document with a list of receipts including all images, amounts, and dates for a given date range.
I'm capable of writing this myself but I'd rather just grab something off the play store if someone knows what to look for!

[HOW TO] Trick WebStorage for *nearly* Unlimited Storage

So.
I can only hope that posting this here doesn't somehow ruin it down the road, but everyone here has a Gmail account corresponding with their devices, and most likely WebStorage (if you use it) as well, so I've been thinking for a while that this "exploit" may be possible: AND IT IS!
Is everyone familiar with a feature of Gmail and Google's infinite wisdom that allows you to make any number of "fake" accounts that tie in to your actual, single account? Of course most use it to register for and subsequently filter out Spam.
However, it's Google's servers which account for this ability, and so the (and really most/all) WebStorage app will accept any dotted (and dashed? don't remember what all you can do) form of your Gmail account name as a new account. So although it will be 8GB segments you could have any number of them with organized info distributed per "account."
I believe this could most likely also be done with an OG Transformer to activate* the one year of "unlimited" storage, and you could upload massive amounts of info in a relatively short amount of time across a few "accounts" and have just about any of your stuff up. I don't have an OG so someone will need to check it out.
*EDIT:
Let me also state I only did this to begin with because ASUS or whoever manages WebStorage said they couldn't update my initial account to correspond to my ownership of the Prime. They told me to do this.
Code:
ASUS bundles of ASUS Webstorage could only be activated within new accounts. Therefore, you won't be able to expand your subscription of current existing account, but you're definitely welcome to register a new ASUS WebStorage user ID to retrieve your term of Transformer.
Please follow the steps below to access complementary ASUS WebStorage Service:
1. Logout from current ASUS WebStorage ID.
2. Register a new account from Mycloud

[Q] Google Play Merchant account and developer privacy

Hi
I'm developing an application and wondering about putting it on the Google Play store, more out of interest to see if I can make a little bit of cash, I'm not expecting riches, but some cash flow would help serve to encourage me to do more Android development.
On going through the registration I need to set up a Google Merchant account, no problems with that, however I need to provide a public business address and website address, and like I suspect is the case with the vast majority of app developers with it being more a hobby from a back bedroom, I don't have a business address or business website, so it will default to my home address. The terms also suggest that if I don't supply a URL my account might be suspended.
I'm also a little nervous about about my home address in case it is made public, and wondering if it is worth going to trouble of getting a domain name for the URL.
What have other people done? I notice some paid apps have a broken website URL, and I can't recall making a purchase on the Play store where I have seen the developers or business address displayed to me.
Any info gratefully received.
Regards
Phil

A hosted website with a custom domain costs nothing nowdays. You'll need it anyway for marketing, etc.

Bump. I'm in a similar situation. Wondering what you did about the address? I don't want to give people my home address just because they buy my app.
For the domain I just created a weebly website for free. Super easy and it doesn't have to be high quality. How many people actuality visit your website?
I have my home address. When I start my company that's where I will be based from anyway.

I am in the same situation, a private person releasing an paid app. The deal with the public adress just got to me.
I read somewhere about a guy who entered fake information as the "public" adress, this isn't appealing to me though.
If i buy an apple at the local supermarket it's not like the name and homeadress of the apple grocist is on the store recipe.
Is there any way around this since I'm not really that keen on showing my home adress public..
Or is it "just" the other way around? That I can see the users information but the user cannot actually see the developers information..?
Just give them something.
Just give them any address. It's no big deal. give them the address of a highway rest area. As for the website, you'll make more money than it costs you per year to own a domain just by having a domain. Just use a blogger website etc.. and then hook it up with a domain. Just having the website to support your game/app whatever is very important. :fingers-crossed:

Help trying to find an app capable of this

Hi everyone. I have a problem trying to figure out a sort of cloud solution for my small business. I am not sure if there is a service like the one I am looking for. I am after a service that will allow my small business to:
- Allow employees to load pictures to a common cloud services and possibly some data.
- Have the supervisors as administrators and receive alerts any time a customer has a repair need.
- Create folders with date so files can be stored chronologically.
- Allow a feature like (write only) for employees so they can upload the data but can not modify it.
- It needs to be compatible with iOS and Android.
Hope there is something like this available. I will appreciate any input.
Thanks to everyone, best regards, Frank.

[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!

For Android SyncAdapter, how much of the database should I synchronize?

I have a web based quoting system my sales team uses and the database has 70,000 rows in the quotes table, each one a different quote. I'm using Android's SyncAdapter classes to make it so the application synchronizes with the remote database when a connection becomes available but will use the local NoSQL database when getting pricing. Now one of the sales guys might want to go back and look at quote number 50231 from a few years ago when in a remote area without service so I'm wondering if there are any issues with synchronizing all 70,000 rows from this table to the local database on the phone or if there's a different accepted way of doing this.
The entire database is 1 gibibyte in size and contains all customers, quotes, pricing and a bill of materials for each job. I'm just trying to find best practice here.
