Recently, I've developed and published an Android game on Google Play with the name of Final Destination. It is a finger-maze-runner game with 2 playing modes. Below is the links for download and Youtube video reference. I hope you guys will like it.
CASUAL mode description
- There are plenty of challenging mazes designed for you.
- What you need to do is to avoid all the obstacles while navigating to the destination in order to pass the maze.
- More requirements or constraints will apply to the mazes behind. Example, collect stars, activate sensor, blackout and so on. You better be careful.
CHALLENGE mode description
- The maze will have infinite length that filled up with a bunch of randomly generated obstacles.
- What you need to do is to keep running and avoid all the obstacles so as to keep yourself survive.
- The speed will get increment slowly from time to time. You better watch out closely.

Cool man! One thing is that you might not want to use copyrighted music for your trailer though...

Limopo is a perfectly-designed smart application for recognizing movies from any media contents, poster, banner, image etc.
Just keep your camera on the poster and that's all, the rest will be handled by Limopo. Limopo not only allows user to browse latest movies from IMDB and also brings information about the movie and even plays the trailer right on the poster. Such an amazing experience, you won't believe to your eyes!
Each time you go to a theater for watching a movie, you make your decision only by the exposures of the posters, ads in news and magazines about that movie. If you are not among those who shot the movie, the only criteria becomes that exposure on your decision. And then perhaps just leave the theater and get disappointed because of the inadequate and misleading exposures of that movie. Similarly, while buying a DVD, the exposures influence your decision on what to watch this night.
Well, you might think of websites that give information about films, such as IMDB and Wikipedia. However, most of them are quite extra informative and distracting.
And exactly at this time, Limopo enters into the stage and amazes people who are fed up with those stuff by what it offers.
Do you want to know what it offers?
Just open your camera and hold it on a poster and then you will see the magic!
Using only the information extracted from the poster image,
- Brief and adequate info about the movie
- Interactive and entertaining trailer-watching experience
- Make you feel like: Wow! My smartphone exceeded its capacity and began making magic! Envy your friends! (Shhhh! Don't tell the secret in behind to your friends... Just kidding, please let them know and help us expend the magic!)
Limopo currently knows movies in theaters and coming soon movies in IMDB, Turkey, UK and Canada.
I'm attempting to create a video overlay on top of Chrome (31.0) in Android (4.2).
I'm building an art installation involving a robot using a Nexus 7 in place of his face. Players will interact with the robot by shoving various cubes inside his head and triggering media and other reactions.
I've created the game within Construct 2 (an HTML5 game making tool) and have it running full screen in Chrome. I've removed and disabled all other UI elements to maintain immersion and prevent players from interfering.
My issue comes from attempting to load video content through the cubes without revealing any of the underlying UI within Chrome. I'm using Tasker in conjunction with NFC tags inside the cubes to trigger the loading of content within the game, since Construct is unable to load video files natively.
I'm able to call and load files with Tasker using any flavor of media player, but leaving Chrome causes it not to exit full screen after the video has ended, and reveals the interface. I've also found there isn't a away to force Chrome into full screen without action on behalf of the user.
I've attempted loading a video through Tasker's webview function, but it can't handle video and I'm unable to get support or find evidence of similar scenarios with it's function elsewhere online.
I've found applications such as YouTube Overlay, but it's very slow and only for Youtube videos. Although, it demonstrated this basic type of function is possible, even if it requires a peculiar circumstance to make use of it.
I'm wondering if I'm missing something or if there is an effective way to create my own Webview without having to write my own custom Android application.

First public beta
This is sort of a research thread and I hope someone here is willing to weigh in with their knowledge.
I'm a Ruby / Java / Python / JS / PHP developer, who did a little bit of Android game development during my studies back in 2012. I assume things have changed since then.
I'm working on a commercial project where we need a network controllable video player for LED TV's and/or video projectors. Currently, we are using a Raspberry Pi 3-based design with the OMX Player, but this board is somewhat weak and the player is cumbersome to interact with and has limitations. Especially when it comes to rendering multiple layers with transparency. I would like to work on a platform where I have a rich multimedia API for rendering sound and video with an object-oriented API.
I have obtained myself an Asus Tinker, which has an official Android distribution. This runs rather smooth and from what I can tell, the API's for Android appear rich and flexible. So my questions are:
1) Is it possible to develop a launcher / kiosk app, that will allow me to boot into a "blank" screen and allow the app to place video surfaces, image surfaces and text layers? I should also be able to interact with the sound card and playback PCM audio. I would like an API that supports audio mixing, amplification, etc... There is no direct user input on the device, so I will need a solution that does not present any status bars, google account wizards, wifi wizards, update prompts, notifications or anything. In fact, when the Tinker is powered on, there should ideally not be anything indicating that it's Android.
I guess what I'm asking for is kind of a console video game engine / SDK, minus game controller support.
2) What kind of libraries or API's would I need to dive into and understand? Where should I start?
3) How complex is it? What is the scope of it? How much development time? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? Would I need more developers with specific skills?
4) Is there any developer here who's interested in participating in such a project as a paid freelance developer?
5) Is there any alternative software/OS platforms I should look into? I want to be able to boot into a custom passive user interface that is remotely controlled over REST by another device. I would like to avoid dealing with low level implementation of video decoding and rendering, but at the same time I would prefer to have control over screen resolution, refresh rate, color depth and I would like to run a ssh server on the client, so it can be serviced. Ideally, the platform should be able to both stream from the internet, but also accept commands to download to local storage and play from there.
6) Is there any alternative hardware platform I should look into?
7) Anything else I should consider? Problems that I'll need to address / prepare for?
Hey guys,
I'm not really sure if this is the right place to post this question but as I don't really know where else in the web I could find help on this I'll give it a try
TL;DR:Do you know any (and I really mean any - including writing an app or other hands on approaches) method to have a permanent (tabbed) navigation at the bottom of the screen to switch between apps or websites/PWAs?
The background of this question:
I'm coming down a long road trying to hack together a DIY - privacy focused - smart speaker - mainly to switch lights and play some music. I started off back in 2018/19 and found snips.ai one of the most promising FOSS smart speaker projects for my plans and so I got me a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and a Matrix Voice board as foundation. Then half a year I later, when I found the time to put those together, I had to find out, that Sonos just bought snips.ai and their services were to be shut down...
Since then I had a long pause on this but always followed the development of FOSS voice projects including Mycroft (to expensive HW, to bloated, to tied to their web services IMHO), Sepia (to complicated to setup) as well as attempts on hacking OTS speakers like Alexa, Google Home, Sonos et al or combinations with web controllable wifi speakers like Teufel 3sixty (which is really a gold speaker but as tons of other radios has a frontier chip set with its awkward web interface) or even the awesome Squeezelite-ESP32 project. Lately I stumbled upon Rhasspy and got myself together to give my project a new try and was even kind of successful (got a self hosted voice assistant doing what I want - even if I had to learn and write some python here and there). But I figured out that 1) a smart speaker without a display is not really what I want and 2) I'm not really that kind of maker guy to 3d-print cases, plan and build circuitry and what not - or it's just missing me the time to do and especially experimenting on this
So I ended up with the idea of the software that I need (Rhasspy server side + a satellite app, Home Assistant, Logitech Media Server, Spotify/Tidal and maybe some others) and was then looking for some hackable device to serve as interface to that (display, speakers, microphone, wifi + maybe bluetooth). The Sonoff NSPanel Pro was a candidate but I didn't trust the quality of its speakers and read some reviews that were claiming a weak performance. Then I found the Lenovo ThinkSmart View that has all this and this XDA thread and immediately got me a new one for 60 bucks. Now I have a quality device better then I could ever make it with a blank(though not rooted) android, a Rhasspy Voice Assistant running on a local server ready to receive and send audio streams, a promising app to act as a Rhasspy satellite and some quality speakers to play music on. The last opponent I'm facing now is a nice UI on android that can bring all the bits together.
What I'm looking for now is a free (and ideally OSS) panel/kiosk solution with that I can seamlessly switch between Home Assistant (web UI), Spotify (web UI or their app) and some others like a self hosted Web music player. In my imagination I could switch between them with a permanent tab bar at the screen bottom but am open to other ideas. I'm not an Android developer but I consider myself a stable Java dev open to write an own app for this - I'd just need a starting point (read of Webviews, Custom Tabs, Trusted Web Activities but found them not really a solution to what I need - maybe is there some browser which's contents I can just include in an app?). Also I can write (progressive) web apps and do stuff with them but then AFAIK the only method to embed remote sites would be iframes which likely won't work with at least spotify).
I really do not want to bloat this forum with all that stuff - I'm just writing this in the hope that 1) someone is interested in this and maybe is on the same journey and 2) to give some context on my actual question above
Thank you very much in advance!
Just came across your post. I’ve been looking for something very similar and have also been considering the NsPanel pro. I don’t have as much concern for audio quality as I’m less likely to use it for playing music, just responses or notifications from Rhasspy. I have just ordered a Lenovo device as I’m sure I’ll have fun with it.
To answer your question above, I just found this in the HA companion app that might work for you: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/integrations/android-webview/#links It’s not perfect but could be used with a button or voice command to launch the app on the device. I’ve also seen other posts about using a key mapping app for using the volume buttons to do other tasks.
I’d be very keen to see what you’ve done for dashboards and how you’re using the Rhasspy app on your device. Has it been as responsive and accurate as you hoped?
