I am relatively new to Android, via a Dell Streak.
I have just bought an Advent Vega, and I am trying (without any success!) to understand how app licencing works when I have 2 or more devices.
It's obviously not a problem for free apps, but what is the position for the apps that I have paid for (e.g., NDrive, VCOrganizer Pro, Bloat Freezer)? Can I run these on multiple devices, or do I need to buy a separate licence for each device? If it's the latter, how do I do this, given that they are all tied into one Google account, so whichever device I use to connect to the Android Market, Google always thinks that the app has been paid for.
Or does it depend on the application (in which case, how do I find out what the position is for each app? The web sites don't tell me).
Confused!
You can use the softwares on more than one device as long as you have the same google account on them. I have a Desire and considering this fact buying this tablet was a better deal than an Ipad.

Any app you download in the android market, paid or not can be run on any android device linked to the same google account.
If you buy apps from alternative sources e.g. gameloft then they usually link the apps to your specific device
Hey!
We know, that we can't run Android apps on Ubuntu Touch. The UT is a great operating system, but it has a big problem. It doesn't have any "neccessary" or "must have" applications NOW. These apps are the following by the community's opinion: FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Google Maps, a browser (like Chrome, Opera mini or Firefox), instagram, etc.
So, I want to know, that we are possible to port these (or any other) Android apps to UT, or not? If the answer is yes, i want to create a team. In this team i want to port Android apps, or create this apps alternatives.
Guess not much up in the forums
Request: Simyo Call Status App [Netherlands]
Hi there,
I haven't been on the xda forums a lot since the end of 2009 I believe but, since Canonical announced Ubuntu Touch this year, I have my reasons to pick up browsing the forums again. The Ubuntu Touch region, specifically.
Now, you were asking if there's any Android Apps to port to Ubuntu Touch.
I have a request that might not be of interest to a lot of people but will get pretty important to me once a 'user version' of Ubuntu Touch is released:
Simyo Netherlands provides an App to check your current "Belstatus" or call status.
This app provides me (on my iPhone) with the current remaining minutes/sms messages and remaining data (megabyte) for the current month within the contract.
Below the link to the Android equivalent in the Play Store, which might be portable to an Ubuntu Touch app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.simyo.mijnsimyo
Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing.
I might be of some help being a C# programmer, but I still need to check out the Ubuntu Touch SDK (my HTML5 and QML knowledge is poor) and that's something I won't be able to very soon....

I have a little bit of C# knowledge, but i'm good in HTML5, so this is a good beginning i think.

You can port any already existing apps that are found on Android, you just need the API from the app developers.

No, there's no tool like that for Ubuntu Touch (yet?).
I'd be willing to port my Android apps to Ubuntu touch. Does the work need to be done from scratch? Is there a simpler way to port a java, native, android app to Ubuntu?
I can't contribute anything app-wise, but this sounds like a really good idea; best of luck!
Ubuntu-Touch must LIVE! I have use it and it is cool system. Some problems with applications time to time appeares. And it is very hard find developers for apps. But I think if required apps appeares -- more people move to UT. And first of all that system must use NOT for games.

Till last some years UT has some changes. For example appears OpenVPN network manager in a base apps. But unfortunately that feature with unresolved bugs. Also I didn't find any browsers like QupZilla/Mozilla FireFox or Lynx. So As for me we required updated OS for first. And normal browser. Current versions of browsers are unusable. That i big part of work. For that required powerful developers group. I try to compile and run some examples to UT but unfortunately unsuccessful. But I try. Who also try do something but with successful result?
I'm not saying Java apps are going to die but I feel that in the majority of cases, they are just not necessary anymore.
With responsive design, cloud computing and browser based push notifications, are we moving towards an era where mobile apps are going to reside in the browser?
This is already the case with desktops and laptops - heck, the only thing I don't do inside the browser, on my laptop, is code.

According to their information about the app,
"+Requirements
This app is compatible ONLY with DIVUS TOUCHZONE devices, since it accesses a series of hardware features only present on this kind of devices. Therefore this app is in fact installable on common smartphones / tablets, but you can't use it there. If you are interested in using the DIVUS LAUNCHER also on your smartphones / tablets, please get in contact with us!"
thank you for your reply but I did not need the specific functions I just want to make use of the home page to limit the choice of app for my son

Oh, I see. I suggest maybe looking into an app lock application. You can make it so opening certain apps or settings would require a passcode / pin / pattern type thing before access is granted.
Hello Everyone,
I am in charge of a development team that is working with a suite of internal applications that run on android tablets. They have an implementation that requires a complete ROM customization, however our project's goal is to remove that dependency. The devices that we will be using are Samsung Tablet E 8" and also Samsung Knox and the Samsung Knox Customization Configurator. We do also have access to the Samsung Knox SDK. One problem is that there is a top and bottom overlay, which we need to be displayed 100% of the time, regardless of what application is open, including the launcher. We can get it to work without obscuring our internal applications but the 3rd party apps that are running on the tablet remain obscured. The question is this: Is there a way, utilizing widgets or otherwise, WITHOUT customizing the ROM, to redefine the usable area of the screen for a third party application? I am suspecting that there is not, but I wanted some input from the hive mind. Thank you very much for your input.
