[Q] Time estimate for iOS app port - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My company is looking to port our recently created iOS app to android. The app is basically a simple pdf viewer with a search feature.
Here is the app store link
itunes.apple.com/us/app/drager-gas-detection/id470558281?mt=8
The current developer has been a little slow while creating the iOS app, so we are considering looking at another developer. The estimated hours they quoted also seems a little long to me, but I'm not sure if that is the case.
Approximately how long would it take a developer to create an Android version of this app?

Creating an app similar to "CramFighter"

Hey all, I'm looking for an app similar to CramFighter (iPhone app) for android. It's an algorithmic app that takes the books you have to study for the NCLEX and the time you have before the test and populates a calendar with the amount of chapters per book to study per day.
If someone can port this app over or just create a really basic one (Like it asks for the title of the book and the amount of chapters and just populates) I'd be willing to pay for it and so will a million other nursing students who are looking for something similar since CramFighter shows NO android love at all!
If you know of an app similar or some key words to search on the play store that would also help a TON!
Thank you!

[Q] Any App developers care to shed some light on this?

I'm new to the Android app development world, and have only completed the various tutorials in the first few stages of training with eclipse. I'm learning a lot, but a recent project has fallen on my lap and I'm wondering how to go about this if I were to do it.
Basically the project is for a website that already has a very fluid mobile website, and I'm wondering what I can search or where I can look to focus on building an app that is essentially a 'frame' that hosts the mobile site. Not an app that literally launches the browser, but an app that will open and display the mobile site within app. Is this even possible?
I've done massive amounts of Google searches and no matter how I type the question or keywords I'm looking for its always just a bunch of 'We'll build your app in three easy steps!' sites, so please know that I didn't come straight here to dish out my question.

I guess the concept of WebView is used for displaying web contents inside an app.

Of course you cannot compare Ubuntu with Android
Ubuntu is on early stage of development
and also Google Play Service is Only for Android Devices (However some android not supprt it like Amazon Phones)
If you want Stable Apps for your Ubuntu phone search and look for Developer name that include canonical or Ubuntu Core App
There is Calendar App By Ubuntu Core App Developers
:good:
yeah i fully understand that no prob but i ve seen image of ubuntu touch goin on for long time now, i thought these basics were more achieved.
no prob, i am patient, i am more interested in the terminal function anyway, i d like to get native classic linux app like nmap and other working
There is actually a Google calendar sync.

[EARN] Want an Android Developer for my app

Hello,
I am looking for an Android developer for my app. It is a very simple app. Just a bunch of Info. and videos. I already have my app which I developed but I want to take it one step ahead. The name of my app is Cricket Bowling, It is available on Play Store.
I will require Blogger RSS integration, Youtube/Dailymotion video feed, AdMob.
No complex stuff, want to make it as nice as possible. Willing to pay 15$-20$, pricing can be discussed. No rush, work in your free time.
I am serious about the app.
CR Suthar
I really hope you mean 15-20$ an hour? if not you have no clue how long it takes to program an app. Sorry for being harsdh, just being honest.

How to Convert Website into Android App

Is there any way to convert website into android app? I have a website carpet cleaner picks and I want to make an app as well. What I want is complete website must be converted into android app? This is something called webview or something like that if I am not wrong.
There have been dedicated apps for that, which in time lost functionality.
You can fiddle with the Sketchware app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.besome.sketch which is a very simple visual programming app for Android, and put together an app which opens a webview of your site. You can build anything on that even without being a programmer.
See what I did with the website of our scientific society (and I'm no programmer at all): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.debernardis.SITD_in_tasca
EDIT: unfortunately Sketchware, last version, has new problems with showing webviews. Until they fix that, my solution is unfeasible. Already built apps are still working.
