I have done some basic Android dev by creating a simple app that is basically like a website.
Enter some data on a "form", button does some logic based on the form data, and displays output in a ListView or RecyclerView.
This is basically a "website" that happens to be implemented as an Android app.
I would like to do a tutorial that showcases mobile specific features like touch screen, accelerator, etc.
Anyone have any ideas?
Also, is this the right forum to ask coding specific questions?

First post, but I did my research and couldn't find anything similar.
I'm wondering what the feasible limits are of editing Android. Here's the situation:
I'm thinking of buying the Sony Walkman Z, but would want to create a new interface to make it more music-centric. Would it be possible to create a rom/skin/theme which would act almost nothing like android, but still run android apps?
something like this:
homescreen is fairly normal, clock+link to internet.
swipe left launches music/video app(which I'd like to make custom too, just a pipe dream)
swipe right is list of selected apps (not anticipating having more than the 16 one page could display)
swipe up displays full list of apps (like normal)
shortcut keys work as normal.
don't really need notifications(no texts/calls, don't tweet) so top bar can go away. really that's it. minimalist so as to keep the music the main focus.
A: is it possible?
B: is the skill level required ridiculous high?
C: are there any developers out there willing to take on a challenge?
Thanks so much,

Before coming to Android, I had a Nokia N900 running Maemo 5 operating system, which, like Android, was partly open source and based on the Linux kernel. While there are certainly lots more apps on Android, there is one app from Maemo that I really do miss and cannot find a replacement for. The app I am talking about, goes by the name of Queen Beecon Widget and in the words of the dev, it is "A super powerful and customizable widget generation engine" http://wiki.maemo.org/Queen_BeeCon_Widget
It is a really versatile tool. Here are a couple of screenshots of my previous setups to show what sort of thing I am after. Most of the items you see on all three screenshots are created by using this app, as you can input any image that you want to be displayed along with the result, as long as it is a.Png
So, sure, I know about widgets that can cater for certain parts of this app eg. Widgetsoid, Minimalistic Text, Meta Widget etc. but what I am really after, is an on-device widget creator that can export terminal commands, as a result and directly onto the desktop. I have had a look at script manager and sm widget, but that doesn't seem to display the result directly onto the desktop (when I tap on the widget I have made, it opens up terminal, which defeats the object for me). Does anyone know of a tool, app or widget or even a combination of apps that I can use to achieve this?
Hopefully I have been clear enough.
I also wanted to post a very brief and simple way to explain what I am looking for. In basic terms, I need a (terminal) command execution widget that will display the result directly on the desktop.
The widget that accompanies Script Manager is sort-of on its way to what I need. Perhaps someone knows of an app like this, that is a bit more advanced, flexible and customizable. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Anyone got any ideas?
hi I am new in programming for android but I have experience with .NET programming so I would like to use Xamarin.
I am trying to find some example of DataGridView (something like Excel table). Fixed header and ability to move data horizontally and vertically.
I am googleing few days and I found just java code or just ListView not like table grid.
I am realy new in it. I am working on my first app for android but I am able to use some working code in my app but I am not able to create my own DataGridView.
So if somebody know some opensource project with DataGridView (like Excel table) written in C# for android let my please know.
Thank you
I wish to create a NavBar replacement sort of like a floater and need pointers on where to start......
Sort of like Pie Controls and a Toucher combined in some sort of idea I'm having.
I want to know where and how I can start.....
I think maybe I'll need xposed and standout libraries.
But just some pointers in general on where to start coding from and how to do it
coz I believe this project will need root capabilities and I have only developed a basic textbox and spinner database projects uptil now.
Hello XDA Forum.
Im about as novice as it gets with coding/scripting/application development so I'm looking for some help with a phone application I want to develop.
First, any tips on a free/cheap program to get started using? I dont need anything flashy. Just a good starting point.
Then, does anyone have an example program/script outline, advice or tips that get me to close to this desired outcome:
I want to generate an image, based on a given set of icons/images/text. It would incorporate individual pieces into a final product image.
I want to do this by allowing a user to select options, and those options should reference the corresponding image/icon/text.
Preferably I would use buttons or a drop-down menu or spinner per category of options since there would be a lot of options to choose from. Basically, a giant wall of option checkboxes would be overwhelming.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I looked into the MIT app, and it seems like I can make this happen with it, but the Block builder section was overwhelming for me lol
I feel like I need to have a list of the applicable images, which populate to a new list based on user selections, then they all populate to a results screen, but I'm too novice to figure it out.
