Q&A for [Q] AndroidMagnet
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Has anyone ever come across this site or used their product?
Looks like a well put together site, but the download forces you to take surveys and other menial tasks to get your information.
My first thought is spam.

I was searching on google about this product called Android Magnet i got here on this post written by "BKCOKE". I want to tell you that first I was also sure that this is a scam, but I thought I should give it a try maybe it works, so I clicked on download button and there was a survey to complete, I did it it took me 1 minute and I downloaded the software and installed and GUESS WHAT i connect my Galaxy S3 running jellybean, it got updated to KITKAT and its not a SPAM, give it a try, do a survey put in fake information just like i did

Can you post the executable? This way we can all test it!
After JohnnyParker1's response I decided to dig a little deeper. The site has various "certifications" from BBB, Verisign, Truste, and Scan Alert Hacker safe. None of these could be verified by the respective services.
Their "About Us" page shows 3 photos of "employees," with photos. When doing a Google Image search on each photo the Asian woman came up with a LinkedIn profile under a different name.
Also, they are citing various numbers that can't be verified. One statistic is 10,000 users and another states only 9,872. I also could not find their support forum.:laugh:

That was quite a good research "BKCOKE". But my point is that who cares if they are fake or real, I did a fake survey on their download link, I got the file and I got my Samsung S3 updated
So I don't care if they are fake or real, their software worked for me CHEERS

I am in process of developing an application and I was wondering if there is a way to capture users information automatically. I am drawing up a spec of application functions that I am going to have a dev team produce so I do not have app dev skillsets. That being said...
My idea was that if an user downloads an application, starts it, and the app is automatically populated with the users' phone number, name, etc any basic information automatically. Google pairs the phone with specific accounts that store such information so the data is there. I am looking for a less intrusive way and more user friendly way of creating accounts rather than direct social media login integration.
Is this something that is viable? or is it against data laws? or not possible?
Please let me know if you know of any existing methods, or if you think it is even impossible.
THANKS! :highfive:

Thanks a lot! Now I will definitely not receive any feedback... How is this not a dev question... :silly:
Hi folks,
Will try and keep this short.
I am at the moment having an Android app and an IOS app made by a professional company. It has cost me £10,000.00 for both apps.
It is a map based app with markers. When clicked on a marker an info box pops up witha Facebook icon linked to page, Twitter etc
I desperately want to add Instagram icon that links to that persons page.
I am being told that at the moment this is not possible and that the only thing that can be linked to via the icon is images.
I am after just clicking the Instagram icon and that takes you to the whole Instagram page of that person.
They are using the native Android APK and the same for IOS.
Are they correct in saying that Instagram has not yet released a SDK/API yet.
Quoted for the company email to me,
On your request to also integrate Instagram to the app, we will be unable to assist due AT THIS STAGE simply due to the fact that Instagram to date does not provide android and ios sdk/api so we cannot integrate instagram directly in any android or ios apps at present. We can still design the user interfaces and integrate the app with Facebook.
Thanks for any help folks

Hi folks,
Is there any reason why no one can answer this please?
Have I not followed rules or something? I just assumed this was the best forum on the planet to ask such a question and I am surprised no one has answered?
Can you recommend somewhere else I could possibly get answers for my question please?
Cheers!
Hi, I'm having a hard time working within Eclipse and getting started. I'm used to Visual Studio and thought I could start writing code, debug and go.
What I've done so far is downloaded Eclipse for android developer tools, and started downloading a bunch of plug ins for different versions under the Android SDK. I have downloaded many sdk build-tools, but I'm unsure how to compile and debug (the equivalent of hitting F5 in VS) so I can see what my application previews as and test it.
Can someone help me get to the point where I can write code and test/debug it visually? I've installed API's 14-20.
Thanks for reading.
I watched the video here
http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-t...-1-setting-up-eclipse-and-android-sdk-xda-tv/
trying to resolve this on my own, still no luck. Is there anyone who can get my setup, so I can stat building Hello World projects?
Here is what I am seeing with the most basic application for "my first app"
I can't post a screen capture because of lack of number of posts, but here is the link with some spaces

What an extremely helpful forum. I wanted to commend everyone that read this thread for your untiring help and responses with this basic newb question of setting up the IDE software to write the most basic app.
Excellent forum, excellent job everyone!

You most likely never got an answer as you provided no real troubleshooting info like IS version, how you installed it and where. Also there are many tut know the site about setting up eclipse. Best bet might be looking in the theme threads as that is what it is used for primarily. Also might check the google developers page. You have to remember this is not a support forum. Basic questions like this most of the time will go unanswered
I am going straight to the point. We are not helping the devs. We only have very few devs compared to other phones.
Whenever a dev come online, people starts to eta and starts to blame them of not keeping up to date and sticking with deadlines. They are not robots. They also have a personal life.
Don't say that without X feature the ROM is not good. If so just use stock touchwiz OS which can't even keep my whatsapp app not killed due to no free ram
And please use dedicated question and answer post to solve any problem that you are facing. And only post on the official thread to report problems that are unknown to the the dev. Check by searching. Confirm that the problem is not sure to something you had done like installing unofficial packages,etc
And don't post like "my music player force closes" or my video is not recording". Post with logcat pinpointing to the exact location of bug. If you don't know how to take a log. Just search in Google or XDA, there's like a thousand tutorial.
Overall don't irritate our devs without them our grand 2 will be nothing but a piece of ****
And I am going to create a new whatsapp group. I will help users to my max extent. And all users in the group will be group admin. So don't worry. If you want to join this group please leave your numbers this thread. I will create it tomorrow including numbers in the other whatsapp thread whose admin is nowhere to be found.
So please, behave well to our devs and love them. They are doing this for us without expecting nothing in return

Some of us do not install G**gle apps (incl Play). We use instead F-Droid and APKPure.
But some apps insist that they require Play... it's not a technical requirement, just one they throw in there, but it's a real problem as I am not going to install Play just for that.
Does anyone know of a Play 'placeholder' or 'simulator' which will satisfy this specious requirement? Or has anyone decompiled an app to remove this requirement?
Recommendations?

Apparently you haven't actually tried this. There is very little depth of knowledge about things Android, in general. We are fortunate here to have a competent dev and some competent users. This is rare.
It is unusual to not be at all dependent on G**gle, and I am happy to help with what I know about freeing yourself completely. But there are some catches, and the question I'm asking is the last one for me.
I can probably figure it out for myself, but when forced to do that I am not as inclined to share if sharing (or even trying) is not part of the ethos..
So can we can, or can we can't? :cyclops:

Try MicroG. Your purpose will be solved without installing any GAPPS.

Always share helpful info.
I believe the response the person made was a legit argument basically being made to help direct you to find a better place with much higher odds of getting an answer (looks like you got it tho).
But that doesn't mean you can't ask or can't share. It's all up to you. Sharing knowledge is the foundation this forum has thrived in. Personally I hope nothing defers anyone to question that regardless of any responses made or not made.
And yes, this is an excellent dev. But he's here to help primarily with his area of expertise, which according to the thread title is with Havoc issues. He can't be relied upon to answer non ROM questions (yet he probably would if he knew).
@Quantumstate,
I had to move your question and the corresponding answers to a specific thread (your thread now) to "Android Development and Hacking Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" because the thread where you posted initially was not the best place to ask.
I have named the thread "How to get rid of Playstore requirement for some apps?" because I had to fill a subject (is mandatory) but feel free to edit the title yourself if it's not OK for you.
Also, I suggest you to read THIS THREAD by @Oswald Boelcke, you could eventually find some clues there. If not maybe Oswald Boelcke or any other members (developers or not) here should be able to help you in this new Q&A thread
Thanks for understanding

@Quantumstate I just realised that @Wood Man pinged me and pointed you to my thread. Feel free to ask me in my thread or certainly here whatever you want to know. But I assume you first have a lot of reading ahead.
Additionally to my thread, I'd like to drag your attention to some more XDA threads in this context. In these threads are also links to Github/Gitlab including excellent tutorials. If you want you'll be able to leave Google services or requirements in many although not all cases behind; however, it also depends of the ROM(s) you use. This means if you commence a discussion please also provide insight into details of your device, system and configuration.

Last remark: On none of our devices, any Google service or application is installed. But all of our application run fine without and by the use of µG instead. The very few application, from which I expect push notifications, do receive them on time via GCM/FCM.
The one and only Google application, which I've installed, is the Google Play Store modified by Setalphia, the developer of above linked NanoDroid. It allows me easy access and updates of my applications purchased on Google PS respectively to conduct in-app purchases that I mainly do in order to support a good development and developer unless the developer offers different means of donation.
I knew we could count on you Oswald :highfive:
