Hello,
Put my first android app on play store yesterday.
Its a simple loan calculator. There are many of these already, but as I was doing this as a learning project i put most effort in to focus on UI/UX features that I couldn't find done well (or at all) in existing apps. Namely, custom value entry screens, seekbar data entry, and monthly scheduling via view group allowing modifications to each entry.
Don't think I'll ever be rich off it, but I did learn a lot of about Android UI programming in process of making
What do you think?
Can't post html here as new, but you can find in playstore by searching for --> ginberryfarm loan
Cheers

can you post urls now? i'd love to see it
I think text could be a little bigger besides that good work
Link To App Here
Yeah, was trying to make everything fit on screen without scrolling where possible, but ended up with tiny text. Will try to improve on next update.
Thanks for feedback.
Hi there,
i got a little problem:
I got a Loxon (loxone.com) home automation system.
In there, there's a function to open app from URLs, as far as i understood it works through the intent service, for example i tested with success the yatse xbmc remote.
I launched the app through yatse:// as defined on the yatse developers web page.
So and now my problem:
as far as i understand the apps developer needs to define a custom intent sheeme in the apps manifest.xml
But there aren't many app developers using the custom intents, so i want to add the feature by myself.
I read about it on many websites but never got it to work. i don't need actions defined, such as open sms app and preinsert the number, just open the apps, for example squeezeplayer:// for the squeeze box apk.
Could anyone please give me a before-after example for an app? That would be awesome.
I know about decompiling apks, editing the manifest so no need for an detailed step-by step.
I know about a negative side effect after editing the manifest if an app update is installed the changes go away, but thats sometihing i can live with. (set aut update off):silly:
Thanks in advance
Edit
: i found this on stack overflow for opening apps through url but never got it to work:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2958701/launch-custom-android-application-from-android-browser
So i've gotten te task to do a clickdummy for an android app i designed.
I've got experience with java, but i don't want to digg into the android stuff...
I'm searching for something like code templates of apps like the Playstore or the YouTube app.
Is there a service or something for this kind of thing?
//Edit:
To make it a bit clearer: I'm searching for a raw app without any logic implemented. I just want to have a layout with CardUI like the Playstore or YouTube has it.
I hope you understand what i mean.
Greetings,
Flo
Hello fellow XDA's,
I know it's maybe stupid to ask you for this - but i feel little confused when i am looking for information about "how to build a web browser for windows phone8" so i was thinking if is it possible to share some old code for beginners.
Looking for easy web browser just for training purposes:good:
You might be able to find some old ones floating around, though probably not anything for the new frameworks (WP8.1, etc.).
The usual and easy approach is to start with a simple XAML app that has a WebBrowser control filling most of the layout. Then you add whatever controls you want (URL bar, etc.) around that, wire up the relevant events and any data storage you want to have (bookmarks, data synch, etc.) in the back-end C# or VB pages.
If you want to get Fancy and try implementing a different rendering engine than the built-in IE-based one... well, good luck! You'll need to do quite a lot of work just to port one to Windows Phone, although WebKit minus the JavaScript JIT should be possible (it was ported for RT last year). Then you'd need to create a XAML control to display it, or else use the DirectX APIs to draw it directly in a C++ app.
How do I build a YouTube app for Windows 10 Mobile
I want learn how to build YouTube app
Help plz
Well you need to tell more info than just asking for help. What is the thing you need help with? What YouTube app you are talking about? AFAIK you need a source code for the app if you want to build it with Visual Studio so do you have it?
You need get YouTube API , using Visual Studio dev app.

I have an idea for it. Somebody just need to wrap the m.youtube.com web mobile app to be more like a native app, since it's already almost feature complete, and its Material design already, so you guys won't bother much on design. And just maybe add some little native things there like Native Windows Video Player API and controls, maybe casting too, some CSS modifications on the web app's features and looks too, like making the tabs hide when you're scrolling down, and will show up when you scroll up again (just like the YouTube app) (which is not present on current mobile web app) or some custom animations too, ability to scroll through tabs with swipe (currently not possible on mobile web app's CSS rn), maybe a more native rewrap of dialogs on the mobile web app, native to Windows, I don't care if it's Material design on this aspect as since Windows design APIs is still incomplete btw, as long as it's responsive and interactable than the CSS ones, and also maybe native PiP on the app, ability to collapse the player/video page if you swipe down on it or tap collapse button, the whole video page will collapse and fade and the native player will be small at the side, also ability to dismiss it to end the remove or stop the video too.
The good thing with this is you wont need an access to YouTube API (I think) (which is also very restrictive and limited) since you're just wrapping some parts of the web app instead of remaking it.
This is all theoretical btw, since I know few of programming and developing bc I'm more of a UX designer myself. I hope this is possible. And hope someone brave see this idea and really do this. We'll back you with our support

So what you want to do is create an appx with a webview inside with the uri m.youtube.com basicly, more complex app would be using Youtube API.
Please don't make a web wrapper :crying: . There are enough of those in the Store already and I'm pretty sure the YouTube APIs aren't that restricted, haven't you guys downloaded myTube already?
Instead, search for the YouTube Data API and figure out how to use HTTP requests to send/receive JSON to use data from Google into your app.
This is to want to reivent the wheel, poius ja exixte several clients of Youtube available in the store and for free
