Hi, I'm really new to android developing, i want to make a very simple app, you open it and you get the other people using the app position, in a range of 50 meters from you. Maybe everyone could update a picture of himself that will be displayed where he is, so like a marker to indicate his position. Then if you click on one of this marker/photos you can see some details that the user put in when he registered. Is it possible for a newbie to do it? I think I obviously will need a server and help. Can you please tell me what sould i do, how much will I spend, etc, and like a to-do list?
thanks in advance.

Student of android dev here!
What your asking for is pretty complex. If you dont have much experience coding or creating apps, i would suggest practicing by making other smaller apps and then building up to then.
You can also hire somebody else to do it, how much it would be would depend of their skill and exactly what features you want on it.

Ok, but is it possible to create an app like that with the right amount of skill? Will I, after plenty of tutorials be able to do it?
Anything is possible. Practice makes perfect! Or near perfect

hi all...
i'm looking for someone to build a clone of the word-game boggle. I'd like to work with a developer to create this app. I' am happy to fund this project and work out any arrangement which would be in the developers best interest.
in the iphone it is called wurddle (http://semisecretsoftware.com/wurdle/), it is probably the best boggle clone out currently. there are several apps out for winmo (Wordly, Scramble, etc) but they are all rubbish; actually, Wordly is very good except that the developer didnt pay attention to several important factors( the algorithim for letter distribution is not thought out, so you can never make any real words due to the consonant-vowel distribution).
i am an avid word game enthusiast and would like to build this to proper specs (most updated dictionary, various dictionary options, 5x5 and 4x4 optionality, proper letter algorithim, i could go on....)
please note i am not looking to steal anyones work nor am i requesting warez. i would like to build this from the ground up and incur whatever costs are necessary to do so.
i am not super rich but i can afford to fund this to a degree, perhaps fully. mostly because it is killing me that the iphone has this app and my awesome hd2 has junk. i've attached a few pictures of wurdle, wordly, and actual boggle to give you an idea of what im looking for.
let's create something great!
thanks all,
jason
fyi: i posted an almost identical thread in htc hd2 q and a. im not trying to be a spammer-doubleposter, so please let me know if im breaking any rules and ill gladly have the other one deleted.
Fellow Mods,
Jason has spoken to me regarding this request, so please dont move to general Q&A.
Cheers.
Tim.

Jason, i have deleted the post in QnA so you dont get spread out replys, cheers.
Hmm...This seems like a rather interesting project. I could take this on! I'm not the best dev out there, but this would def. serve as a great learning block for me, and I could definitely get it done. I just need the ideas and how you want it to look/work, and I can do the rest
PM me or email me at [email protected]

i love this site. love it.
Yes, like the idea of the program, You need a dictionairy for every language you create it in.
This will be one of the best game with a very good learning effect for mom and da for her childs . And for the game freaks under us ...
I can help you with the development if needed but actually I would like a program like this:
- http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cijfers_en_Letters
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_(game_show)
Does it already exist too?
i would play this game all day, looking forward to it.

@the0ne:
that's a good sample, but there is no trail version. So it is not the solution to see how it works or do some tests before pay. I think in this case we must find out the wheel a second time .

actually that game sucks. i bought it, like many others. they all suck. there is at least one inherintly wrong thing in every single one of these boggle clones that make it nauseating for me to play. it has the right idea but clearly no developer understands how to create a great, realistic boggle app; which is why i have decided to step in and do this myself.
that game show thing looks pretty cool actually.

Yes, it does.
Could you make a little storyboard what functions, actions, options this program should have. I'm interested in the development but don't know for sure what should be in or out.
Hi guys,
(you can skip the blablabla to the fat letters )
it's been a while i'm registered and totally stunned of the work which the devs do @ this Forum. For years i think about the possibilities with coding stuff. But always thought it's to hard and take years.
But now with android i will give it a try. Because it would be awesome to write stuff by myself or solve problems with apps cause i understand the code or log output.
The best thing i invented was a Premium account Alarm for Rapidshare. It was just a tiny little script which checks for certain words/banner on the site and will popup the Firefox with an alarmfile i set. And i was proud that i managed that the process was in the background. Acessable through the taskbar... Easy as hell. You see i got no clue but understand a little bit of html. I can search the code of sites for certain stuff i want...No skill at all but reading...
My goal is it to archieve an app which can transform not tapatalk supportetd Forums in a better format. Because i couldn't find anything. And it's annoying for me...
Would it be possible? I don't care if it's not compatible to google play or anyone. I want this because i "need" it. And i guess it's fun for me to develop. If it becomes an high recomended app. Awesome but my goal is to get it to work and have fun.
For now i'm on the Hello World app...
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards,
Sam
First row is the Limit...
oh my god. This guy's such a noob
Well you got your foot in the door,but the HTML script on a web page is much different than linux code,this will take alot of researching and then alot more research and time.Im not a coder,but i am also learning and have been for a year now and i just barely scrapped the surface.Soo dont expect to develope an app by tomorrow.Expect alot of trial and error.
I guess it's possible but as mentioned above it takes time to learn to code from scratch. However there are a lot of good tutorials on the net which u can use to learn.
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda premium
I applaud your goal and hope you can come up with something.
I have no idea what's involved.
Just wanted to mention, there is discussion of some ways to view sites in a more mobile-friendly manner (mostly GWT) here:

Good job, now just a few years and you're ready... Jokes aside, it seems to be very complicated to combine html and linux code so it might be a harsh experience for someone like you.
My teacher gave me assignment to learn all about android OS and make presentation. I just need concept, how to start, finish, what is important to mention, etc. It would be nice if you give me thesis. I hope it is not much to ask
P.S. It is most important to concentrate on operatyng system aspects, "stories" are not so important.
Thanks, and sorry for bad english

Learning would require you to do the research, not having someone tell you all about it and provide you a thesis.

I know almost everything I should for presentation, i just asked for concept, you misunderstood what i asked for :/ I don't ask someone to tell me all about it, just shortest possible answer on how to organise presentation.

If I was doing a presentation on Android focusing on the operating system aspects I might structure it something like this:
1. Title Slide
2. What is Android? (A brief overview of what the Android is, include a little bit of history and background on what Android is here as well).
3. Overview of the Android platform Architecture (Here is a good starting point)
4-7. In-depth of Various Android platform components (Here is a great reference source)
8. Android Software and Design Overview (Starting point for this topic, divide into multiple slides):
9. Overview of Custom Software (XDA is a perfect reference point for finding things for discussing briefly about this topic).
10. Conclusion (Connect all your points in a conclusion)
11. Slide asking audience if they have any questions
Overall this is a rough overview of a concept for laying things out but hopefully this gets you in the right direction. Let me know what you think of my suggestions and hope it goes well for you.

Ah, gotcha. I just misinterpreted your post. My apologies. :good:
Maybe you guys can help me out here; my research is pulling up nothing.
As the title states, I'm looking for an Android to Android VPN? I've always been able to check on my kids computer activity when needed with PhoneMyPC (and mitigate a few bad situations), but with tablets being used there's no way to see what they do. Overly cautious parent comments and anti-spy hate aside, this is something I feel is extremely beneficial.
Anyone know of one that's good? Is there one out there that's useable? Gurus, is it even possible?
I greatly appreciate any help on this topic.

Ok so i used to be a very experienced actionscript user. But i recently wanted to get back into programming so im learning java now or rather trying to.
So im trying to understand the xml side of this so far and have some questions im hoping u guys can answer.
activities
So as i understand it an activity is a screen in an app. So for example the standard launcher on my phone has pages of apps on my main screens. Each one of those would be an activity? And then another activity for when i press the button to display all installed apps?
Have i understood that properly?
intent filters
This is where im getting confused. Ive googled it and read as much as i can find. As i read it, feel like someones explaining rocket science to a 5 year old.
The words component and instances is being thrown around enough that i got no clue whats even being said. What i have understood is it gives data to the activity.
So a best guess from my partwould be its telling it how the screens going to work or maybe like if theres going to be a button on it maybe. Or perhaps it means something different like just the properties sort of stuff like screen size or stuff of that nature.
As u guys can probably tell im confused beyond comprehension. I got no idea how good my grasp is of any of this. But if theres someone out there kind enough to dumb it down a bit so normal people can understand it. Id be very gratefull
Can nobody help me?
Hmm this is pretty basic i would of thought. Surprised its so hard to find anyone who can help answer my question
