I'm trying to create a custom lockscreen. I'm not interested in widgets, themes, or hacking and existing one, I'm trying to make an all new lockscreen. I have been coding in Java for years and have read the Android development documentation so I'm looking for something technical. I have been looking for info on how to make one from the ground up for weeks but since they changed the home button permission in 4.0 all the information I can find is out of date.
Could someone point me at currently working source code to study or some kind of documentation on the subject? I would be grateful for any resources so I can start working on this project.

I'm currently looking into learning about android development. I know i have a lot to learn. I've just been applying mods/roms/kernels to my Samsung Fascinate, but now i want to start to develop apps, and possibly in the long run help the DEV's out in fixing bugs or whatever.
so far I've read some of the stuff on the android development page. i have Eclipse installed on my Arch box. currently at work i use C++, Perl, PHP. So now I'm guessing i should pick up some books on how to program in Java. does anyone have an recommendations on some books specific to android that are very helpful, or should i just rely more on Google search? Basically, in addition to learning java, what are some specific topics that i should be looking into. i figured as my first project i'm going to create an app, so maybe i should concentrate on that aspect?
any help to point me in the right direction would be great.
thanks
I am graphic designer/UI/UX designer and have sort of a strange question. I am aware that launcher/lock screen replacements exist but I am wondering if it is possible to change the entirety of Androids user interface?
From what I understand the launcher and lockscreen are apps that can be replaced by alternate ones, but taking this idea to its logical extreme could someone essentially create an entire new UI, similar to HTC's Sense, but one that changes the way that the phone deals with homescreens/multitasking etc? I understand that this would be a very large project but I am looking for a basic understanding of whether or not this is possible, how it would work, and what would be required in terms of programming and resources. I am a pretty new programmer but have access to some resources to at least get this started. Any help or pointing me to another forum/resource would be great.
Thanks.
I am looking to create a calendar app which would operate similar to the Google Calendar aside from some unique features I plan to put in. After some initial prototyping of a few of the layouts and research. I can't help but think the scope and time required for initially cloning the GC will significant.
This would be my first android application, am I approaching this correctly. Is this actually a one man project? Thanks in advance
[Just note, this is a question so it should've been posted in the Q&A section]
Yes this is a one man project, adding people to the project will just speed things up.
Firstly you'll need to run yourself through the Android Development section for critical info when creating applications.
If this is your first time working with Java then you're going to need some knowledge with quite a bit of statements.
Creating a calendar similar to GC isn't too hard and can be done quite well. In fact its a great "first" project.
Also I would suggest you create layouts first before you actually go into coding as that will build up a platform to work on.
You will be working with intents and Uri's allot as you would want your users to be able to set their own events.
Here is an official doc on Calendar Provider - http://goo.gl/8f1v3J Loads of great info on creating calendar.
All the best with your project, if you feel you are in a loop and need some help finding out errors and fixing them. Go to stackoverflow. The guys and gals there are very nice and respond quickly with fantastic answers.
Thanks
Thanks for the quick response, didn't realise I posted in the wrong area. Will have a look at the android dev section .
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.
Hello everyone.
I have some time since I started creating and I understand a little about the creation of EMUI themes and the integration of xml code (manifest) through the ThemeStudio tool. I have searched multiple times for attributes, variants, etc. to place on the lock screen, a small simple music player, widget type; that is visible. But the few codes that I have come across, have not been successful, as I have tried to create the code based on the codes that I have found in my search, together with a little knowledge that I have learned; but they have also been failed attempts.
So I finally decided to seek help. Could someone help me with the proper code and if it's not too much to ask for the different parameters and specifications?
Thanks you all.
