Hello,
I am new in this fora so I hope that this post is placed in the correct discussion.
These last couple of days my mind began wondering around a certain idea for a app, but one of the main things I need in order to ever could think is possible, would be a way to digitize text from a image or scanned document for example, but to this even exist?
This is a new playing field for me, but something I wanna do, so hope that you can give me some input or point me in the right directions.
Cheers

Okay, right now im in this club, i really dont want to explain much about it as i try not to reveal my personal info to the internet but there are ranks and stuff (similar to Boys Scout), so far, im managing alot of things but one of the most tiring and annoying things are forwarding any reminders/events/etc.... You see, our teacher sends me a text message about an event/reminder/etc... and i must forward it to others. The fact I got to keep clicking through each person annoys me since the list gets bigger and bigger
Im creating a blank app right now, just to make it run 24 hours in the background (Im very new to this and im trying to make it work).
If anyone can make me a source that whenever i receive a text message from my teacher, it automatically forwards it to others. Now, im looking for the source only, I can add the numbers and rest later, im trying to play and test as much as I can and this can be a good start
ONE THING THOUGH! If my teacher sends me a text message, i want it to forward AND appear to me also but i dont think thats a problem right?
If anyone can whip up a source for me to add to my app, that would be really helpful. If this works out well, i can probably make a good app out of it and give it out to others who come across my position.
Thanks!
Hello. I recently got into making themes a little bit, and wanted to begin making them myself, I was wondering if someone could point me to a guide or shoot me some advice about a few things: first, obviously, the programs I would need and how to set them up. A good place to learn about theming sold, and how to sign them if need be. Also if anyone out there has any information on boot animations, specifically regarding limitations (ie length, fps, amount of jpg files). I'm looking for information on modifying status bar icons and notification icons. I have found that the programs/files I use now are very disorganized and sometimes hard to find. I was hoping another themer out there could help me organize, maybe send screens of how your files are setup. If it matters I was hoping to start device specific (HTC ReZound) for now and once I got the hang of things move in up. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, Ive gotten my feet wet but I'm still a noob. Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I have a few questions. I looked around a bit before posting this, but I may have missed some stuff so if I need to remove this thread just let me know that I should have looked harder(and kindly provide a link please).
First I would like to know how to get into "Themeing". I want to know how to change the colors mostly. I can usually find the file I need to edit in order to change the icon shape, but If I'm not mistaken, the colors are probably controlled in an xml file. They may all look for a "central file" that contains the colors, or I may need to change each one individually. If there is a central file could someone help me find out what it is.
I have only found how to edit apps, so here's where I get a major case of the noobs. Are the system colors controlled by the launcher or the theme or is there a UI that can be edited what do I need to do. I want to be able to change the number styles, the fonts of the keyboard, and all that jazz. The most important thing, though; is that I need to be able to change the colors. I really don't have an issue with the current fonts and don't have a good idea what to replace them with anyway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that the above train wreck is over I have some harder questions.
I also want to get into developing. I will probably start by modifying someone else's. (side question, could I re-release theirs with my changes just so that people could test it provided I ask and give them credit. I know this depends on the person, but is it taboo, or just a no for some people) I already read through and followed shrike1978's. It was possibly the best thing that could have happened to me. It showed me that it was actually possible to do for someone with less android experience. (link)
But after I have built it what do I need to do to get started modifying it? I'm not even sure what all I want to do, but is there any suggestions of a starter project, as well as a how to do it?(maybe changing the launcher, or something like that)
Also I have been using xfce linux mint on a second hard drive of 75 gigs. Will this be an ok setup? Should I switch to ubuntu although I don't really like it as much?
Should I be s-off or on (maybe on so that I know that they will be supported)? Also is there any good vm's that run in linux and will run android?
I probably missed a few questions that I intended to ask, so I will edit them in when needed.
I plan to make a how to thread on my findings(hopefully good enough shrike gives me a :highfive: for doing a good job) so everyone who helps (provided I actually learn how and am capable of making the how to) will be thanked in my future famous thread
Also I apologize for any miss-types. I will do my best to correct them, but my keyboard is pretty broken (it took a tumble when I moved home for winter break)
I figured out the fonts(at least for the few roms I checked). They are easy to change and add. They are controlled in a system_fonts.xml in the "\system\etc" folder of the rom. The files that they represent are in the "\system\fonts" folder of the rom. The xml file has a pretty good explanation of how it is read, so adding your own should be pretty easy.
If anyone here has any suggestions even if you dont know for sure let me know please.;

You are my hero.
I'm trying to work with a custom build of Android based on KitKat to incorporate a stylus, copying some of the functionality (though not code) from Samsung which sells Android-with-stylus builds for e.g. the Note 3. I'm not including details of the specific device because right now I am working on a custom dev device and my aim is to write code which is generic enough to be usable from any Android (based on KitKat). The build (written by others) already incorporates drivers and sends stylus events correctly as motion events etc. Programming at the app level I can receive onHover, ontouch, onClick etc
The specific functionality I am trying to achieve is to pick up a stylus-button-click while hovering. It's perfectly possible to do this in any app, using an onGenericMotion Listener.
However, I want to make my "stylus-action" have system-wide effect - so that anywhere (in any other app, or in the launcher or whatever) I will pick up the event (prior to any other app) and bring up my custom menu. (just like AirCommand in Samsung Note 3) I guess in my custom Android this would then make that particular action somewhat protected or unusable for other users, but I'm ok with that.
In older Android (prior to ICS) you could try something by putting up a System Overlay (i.e in regular app code, without hacking the ROM at all), but this is no longer possible.
This is not an attempt to tapjack or whatever, I understand why this functionality has been removed from the domain of the regular programmer, and I don't want to regress my ROM back to pre-ICS behaviour by allowing the System Overlay hack. Now I am programming the system (if my change is good enough I'd like to submit it back to AOSP) so I would like to know the best method to address this. Since Samsung have already done this, it must be legal (using legal in the terms of "Android will allow it"), and I want to do it right.
Is it possible to write something similar to the System Overlay when you are running from a system service? Or is there a good choke-point to capture events before they are broadcast to the current running apps?
I was looking at (sorry, not allowed to post links) AndroidXRef /frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/View.java specifically in the function dispatchHoverEvent() which looks like a promising place. My naive idea is that I would place code here checking the MotionEvent to see if the button is pressed and if it is, don't call any listeners and instead call my little menu app (or broadcast a custom message, or something anyway). However, I've never written code on the ROM level before (LOTS of experience writing app code) so I don't know if this is a really bad point or a good point to add in code. Should I be putting things at a higher level or a lower one? Will this capture all events or not? Is it all just trial and error?
If this is the wrong place to ask questions like this, please tell me where on XDA I should be asking it. If it's the right place - please answer

The guy above me is a ****. I stumbled across this post looking for something completely unrelated (title interested me). Five words in I knew this was something completely out of my league, but I still read the entire post. If I may offer you some probably useless advice, I would talk to the devs in the note forums. The only problem I could see is that the AOSP guys don't have this function in their roms because it's locked up Samsung code and the guys modding the stock roms leave it alone for the same reason. I could also be completely wrong. Like I said completely out of my league.
Hi guys! :victory:
I'm new around here, nice to meet you all. This is my first post and I wasn't exactly sure where to ask this so feel free to point me in the right direction if you have a better place.
I'm sure this question has been asked time and time again, so I understand if this comes off as annoying or redundant, but I need some serious help here.
I'd like to start off by saying that I have no knowledge of Android development further than installing ROMs and working with Xposed framework, so please bear with me here.
I need to disguise an app. I have an APK file, and I would like to change the name and the icon, and if possible, somehow lock it. I tried using Hide it Pro, but it refused to actually lock the app. I need this done ASAP, and I'm willing to do all the research and work on my own, I just need pointed in the right direction. I made it so far as changing the icon and name using an APK editor, however I could not log into the app afterwards, and the icon changed itself back to the original.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Quick edit here: This APK isn't for me, it is for my boyfriend, so I would need to test it and send it to him, and see if it works on his side.
