I couldn't find it when I searched the other day.
Thanks. I know it is out there, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
I wasn't aware of a beta, I'd love to have it as well!

AFAIK, there isn't a netflix beta app for android. Netflix said the other day:
The same security issues that have led to piracy concerns on the Android platform have made it difficult for us to secure a common Digital Rights Management (DRM) system on these devices.

But then they do go on to say:
We live to get Netflix on new devices, so the current lack of an Android-generic approach to quickly get to all Android devices is frustrating. But I’m happy to announce we’ll launch select Android devices that will instantly stream from Netflix early next year. We will also continue to work with the Android community, handset manufacturers, carriers, and other service providers to develop a standard, platform-wide solution that allows content providers to deliver their services to all Android-based devices.

So if there is actually a beta app out there, it is news to me and I would love to have it as well
please post!
If there is such a thing, could someone please post it?
Well if they are planning on having netflix capable phones early next year that means they must be working on it which means there must be atleast an alpha out there. It may not be available outside netflix itself but it probably does exist which means someone outside the company will probably get their hands on it soon enough and try to make it available and usable for the masses.

DRM? How much DRM is baked into my MacBook and PC that has been stopping me from ripping Netflix movies all these year? None! And they are still profitable and growing every day.
DRM is just a lame excuse for them to sign exclusive deals with manufactures and carriers.

Actually they do have drm. The end user doesn't see it because it downloads automatically when silverlight does. Anyone with linux will tell you, because that drm is what is making it impossible for them to stream netflix.

Luckily I don't stream on my laptop, just from my bluray player.
If someone can get that apk to simply allow for managing instant and mail queu that would be awesome

That apk doesnt actually include anything but resources like images, and layouts. The actual netflix app has to be part of the google tv system apps or something.

It is almost certain that we will never see true Silverlight on Android. It's proprietary closed-source nature means Microsoft would have to be heavily involved, which they are unlikely to do.
The alternative is Moonlight, a free software version of Silverlight, developed by Novell, and released on Linux systems. An Android port of this is technically possible, but no easy feat.
It is also worth noting that this won't allow you to view Sky Go (or Netflix) content on Android, since that service uses Silverlight's built-in DRM, a function that Microsoft will not allow the Moonlight team or any third-party to see or implement outside of their control.
Well thats a bummer ...But thanks for your reply
Maby the same reason why Windows and Android are two totally different softwares.

There you go, problem solved. (I'm from Aus, so we don't have Netflix, I just know the Web interface for Netflix apparently uses Silverlight)
There is a version of the skygo app that has been modded to run on any device. It works on my se Arc s,Archos gen 8 and galaxy tab 7 plus. It even runs with the devices rooted, although it may need to be installed before root is aquired.
Yeah as acg93 said problem with Moonlight, the open source version, is that it doesn't support Silvrrlight's DRM and therefore won't work for Lovefilm, Netflix or Sky. Best bet for these is native apps or waiting until HTML 5 video has a decent DRM solution and they adopt that.

Ok, I am looking at an online Android/iPhone app builder. They either offer the option to build one for free with unlimited downloads or you can pay yearly with different tiers for different download limits. The difference being that the free one has ads.
Anyways, when asked about just creating the app with their site, then hosting it on your own server and having everyone download it from there instead of paying the yearly fees, the site owner made this statement.
" my personal opinion in the long run you will pay more in this case because every time when apple releaes new iOS (like 6 now) or android has new phone (like samsung galaxy S 3 now) you will have to purchase new binary code from us that supports the latest updates/fixes."
Is this true? I don't see how each new device that comes out will require an update in your app.
Also, as stated, if you pay the yearly fee for the lowest amount of downloads, I assume they can only track downloads from Google Play or the Apple app store. I don't see any way they can track downloads from my own server hosting the .apk file. Anyone have any insight on this to correct me if I'm wrong?
For the record, I'm just looking to develop an app to play my Shoutcast Streaming audio station. I make no profit on the station, so have no capital to spend over $1K a year to have an Android and iPhone app. I mainly want to give it to my friends, and make it available to anyone who visits my Website. I really like the design that I did with this site, and am willing to pay something for it, just not worth $1K./year....
Anybody?
Have you tried installing the official Android Software Development Kit on your computer, and making the app yourself? You don't need to use an online service, and you choose exactly what gets compiled into the apk (ads, Google analytics, etc.).

I actually do have the SDK installed, and am looking into what it takes to make my own app. But, don't I have to know xml and Java to create apps using the SDK?

Yes, it's kind of like Appinventor, all visual, just assemble the parts and stuff.
It's nice, just kinda pricey. I once posted the job on freelancer.com and got offers for about as much as this company is asking, and with freelancer I would have owned the app afterwards.
But, again, it's kinda hard to foot the bill when it's a non profit app.
Ok, I'm off to learn XML and Java.......
Oh, almost forgot.... the original questions...

any ideas anyone?
I think he means every time Google releases an update to Android (updated OS, not new device). So, for example, you build your app to run on Jelly Bean. But when Key Lime Pie comes out, your app may not work as expected on those devices running KLP. Then, you'd have to pay them to recompile your app with updated binaries, or risk losing market share.
If your app is really simple and would run fine on Android 2.2 and up, then that "purchase new binary" thing is not applicable.
But, hell, if you're willing to learn XML & Java... go for it!
Hi everyone
Just wanted to ask, what are your must have apps?
I need some ideas for new apps. The only apps (except the XKCD viewer) I could think of are listed in the core apps and I don't feel like joining these projects just yet.
So if you have any ideas or if you know some Android or iOS apps which could be ported leave a comment.
1. An IM client like Empathy
2. A Wallbase application/or anything that fetches nice HD wallpapers.
3. An application to watch anime
I had a similar question earlier, you might be able to mine something from those that answered
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105374
The main app most people wanted was What's App, but I saw that some one else has been developing a client for it.

It is my firm belief that we should have an APP INSTALL client that seamlessly installs apps FIRST! Then let the DEVS roll out the suggestions. What's the format anyway? not APK I would guess. I think a nice APK converter would work nicely then.

- What the heck is an APK? (That's only for Android and has nothing todo with linux, yes I said it android has nothing todo with linux )
- There are many ways to install an app.
-> you can install a .deb file
-> add a ppa our use the official repos and install via consol
-> build the binarys from source....
Currently someone is working on an "app store" but this is not a priority since ubuntu touch is still in pre alpha.
P.S. I am a DEV and I need some Ideas that's why I started the thread.
Some way to access Pandora One. I listen to some 300 hours a month, so it's definitely a requirement, not a 'want'.
Statement form pandoras website
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative. ....

A Pandora client sounded like a good idea but "this" makes it rather impossible
Hope you'll find some dev's located in the us that can help you with that.
I'm personally worried about not having an app to track and control my phone in the event it's lost or stolen. An Ubuntu touch UI for Prey or something to that effect would be awesome.

Do you think it would be realistic for someone to create a computer application that would do most of the app-porting work for the developer?

My take on this is that first off by the time we implement this is in everyone will be mostly using ART. The application can work by emulating a specific Android device with all it's hardware features.
Although we should support both ART and Dalvik for legacy reasons. Not all applications/games I have bought have been from Google Play, Humble Bundle for example allows you to download .APK files direct. I was thinking that we could implement a loading system where you could load the .APK files directly into the application for Dalvik/ART to run it. Also at some stage it should be able to emulate different processor architectures including Tegra and Snapdragon as some games are exclusive to these architectures.
Since the emulator would be set on hardware we could probably trick Google Play into thinking it was a specific and allow us to downloads apps and games direct without question. As well as sideloading.
For me I do want this because I have a feeling that I do still want to play my Android games and run my Android applications even when I am fully into Android. Most of the Android technologies are open, so I can't see any huge reason why this can't work out technically.
Sorry my ideas are all over the place, new things kept popping into my mind of how to do this. I don't feel confident about coding this, but I have a rough idea of how all the pieces would connect together.
I'd love to see this, but it sounds very complex to implement. I know I'd move to Ubuntu ridonkulously fast.
Hello there, I'm new here, I have a question.
When will the old Google Finance app for Android will be revived?
Because I wanna try that app to see if it works. It installs on Android 13, I opened the app and selected my account to sign in. And it said Network connection unavailable, even though I'm connected. Connected to my 5G network.
Then I explored the app, nothing works.
I tried accessing a stock, but it said Unable to load quote details from the network.
So, nothing works for now. Now, when will the old Google Finance app for Android will be revived? (I said).
The revived APK with fixed servers, improved support and support for newer versions of Android.
Thank you so much.

Google has killed many projects over the years. There will be no "reviving" of Google Finance - Google determined it simply wasn't in their business interest to continue the project.

I understand, but there isn't much you can do about proprietary projects that have been killed by the parent company, especially when they still own the intellectual property and are unlikely to sell it.
I'm sure there are open source options out there.
