First of all, sorry if I have not asked this in the right place, but couldn't see a section better suited to post this.
I am currently designing some packaging for a new budget 7" Android tablet that will be released soon.
Does anybody know if there is any legal problem with using app icons from well known apps on packaging design?
I wanted to use a large image of the front of the device on the box front and feature a screen showing Mail, Angry Birds, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and Android Market. However I am not sure if this will cause legal problems with these companies and am guessing that trying to contact them direct to ask will not be a quick option (if they indeed answer at all).
Hope somebody can help.

Hi everyone
I'm very new here and new to the world of developing. I've recently used Buzztouch to make my first simple Android app for my rugby team. It's made up generally of RSS feeds from a wordpress blog that show our results and match reports.
The problem I'm having is this: When I used the app on my wife's HTC desire, it works perfectly, with the display just right. When I used my Galaxy Nexus, the text from the RSS feed is tiny and only uses half the screen. (happy to send some screenshots but won't let me as I'm new here)
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is this a case that I have to simply change a setting on my display or is it something a bit larger (please use n00b language as much as possible for my simple ears! )

I am super new to development but really enjoying it and would like some assistance porting a yahoo widget. (Mostly javascript it seems) to function inside my android app. I personally dont have the knowledge for this but learn quickly and would like some help if anyone can spare a little time to show me the basic's of this particular action. The Widget seems pretty simple. It has really one main function. It logs a player in, checks to see if he's currently in a race and if not begins one for him, then repeats the check and start periodically.
Thanks for reading.

I am in need of a app to help with presentations during youth meetings in my church. I need something along the lines of ipad's keynote + airplay so that powerpoint presentations with notes can be stored and displayed via upnp/dlna from my tablet on our presentation screen- I dont always have time to load the powerpoints to the pc and make the small format changes that always seem to be required when you copy a ppt file to another computer and since the pc has both xbmc and windows media center and the screen has a apple tv something should be doable. If this already exsists please link it 'cuz I have been wearing out search xda and google. In review I need to see thumbnails of my slides and see my notes on the tablet and wirelessly display my slides on the screen.
Not sure what the best option for this is. I will also be looking into this. Right now I just use Evernote on my Android for Wednesday night youth lessons. But I can definitely see the benefit to having something that can give me a presenter view for a slide show... Not sure if there is anything but it would be nice if we could find something or if someone could develop something...

I thank you for enforcing the rules (even hit the thanks buton) but do need to say that you did so in a very rude way.
[begin rant]
I posted in the SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT forum because I was trying to kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes by asking if such software had been developed and if not to maybe give a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER an idea for a SOFTWARE to DEVELOP. Therefore I thought to be encouraging development. I understand that you did not see it this way and respect the rule of the mod - I understand the need for "mod word is law" policy and " iron fist " - I just wish you had done so in a less rude way - maybe explain your reasoning - basicly I'm saying follow the rule that says respect other members- would help keep noobs around so they can learn more and one day contribute back to this community.
[/end rant]
This thread should now go back on topic and stay there please.
Anybody have any solutions?
one final bump before i let this thread die.
Bump!
Sorry in advance if this has specifically been addressed. Doing a quick search didn't seem to cover it.
And I started an exact thread over in the Inspire 4G General forum, not knowing where to post it. As I understand, this would be a better place to post this question.
Is it possible for the experts here in XDA to write something into Android's code to allow for a Reply All feature in SMS, like in iPhone's SMS? I'm thinking the Reply All feature must be unfixable because there is conversations all over the internet for people requesting Google to fix it. Some have even stayed with Apple because they would miss that feature too much.

There are 3rd party apps working on this. Only google will be able to add the function to the default and to be honest it doesn't seem high on the list
Scroll to the bottom - some hope it seems..

Thanks for the link. Hopefully this gets put into Google's basic code and baked into Android.

Indeed this supposedly is put into AOSP JB 4.2 ROM's natively now. I just hope I can get a ROM for my Inspire, but if not, at least it'll be there for future and some present phones.
Hi folks,
Will try and keep this short.
I am at the moment having an Android app and an IOS app made by a professional company. It has cost me £10,000.00 for both apps.
It is a map based app with markers. When clicked on a marker an info box pops up witha Facebook icon linked to page, Twitter etc
I desperately want to add Instagram icon that links to that persons page.
I am being told that at the moment this is not possible and that the only thing that can be linked to via the icon is images.
I am after just clicking the Instagram icon and that takes you to the whole Instagram page of that person.
They are using the native Android APK and the same for IOS.
Are they correct in saying that Instagram has not yet released a SDK/API yet.
Quoted for the company email to me,
On your request to also integrate Instagram to the app, we will be unable to assist due AT THIS STAGE simply due to the fact that Instagram to date does not provide android and ios sdk/api so we cannot integrate instagram directly in any android or ios apps at present. We can still design the user interfaces and integrate the app with Facebook.
Thanks for any help folks

Hi folks,
Is there any reason why no one can answer this please?
Have I not followed rules or something? I just assumed this was the best forum on the planet to ask such a question and I am surprised no one has answered?
Can you recommend somewhere else I could possibly get answers for my question please?
Cheers!
