Hi!
Well, I just had an idea for a very useful app for android that might be shared on the marketplace as well!
There's this website called webehigh . com ... it's like the travel encyclopedia of marijuana/cannabis/hash around the globe! I often read through various placemarks on that website, mostly for knowledge and sometimes for need... it's quite fun to know about *legality, *where to buy, *prices and brands etc of cannabis. The site's not been updated since 2008, but the info's quite relevant. I just wanted to make an app out of the content on there...
for the app I was hoping to create a database kind of app where a user could search countrywise/citywise through the information and display the appropriate page for each town. For this purpose, I'm not sure whether the format of each page including the front page along with links and advertisement would allow a suitable apk to be made... So I thought of creating new html / php / text files, whatever suitable, and links them all in the database as seperate towns... but I don't know how an app is made for android and what kind of town's page format would suffice in generating the required result...
So I thought I'd ask you for this.... any online tool or offline program that could let me create this app without any programming code knowledge, or if you could create this app, then it would be great! I'm currently downloading the whole site with "httrack" - an offline website downloader. And then as per your reply, I'll change all the pages to a apk friendly format.
Basically, this is supposed to be an offline reference app for people who read webehigh. Since the website is not being updated.. I was thinking of making an offline app for this... There are many marijuana related apps on the android market... so I'm sure publishing this app won't be a big hassle!!
Thanks for any help.

Hey DEVs,
I've been a power user for almost a year now. I really really dig Android and I feel its about time that I should start developing for this awesome platform too.
I've previously worked in Java and MySQL but I'm completely new to Android Development. Noob is another word to sum it all up. I've tried few video tutorials by setting up SDK and Eclipse. So far that has worked pretty fine for me. I'm now planning to work on a GIS app that could at least incorporate local POIs of where I live.
Its just that I don't really know where to start things from. I've already spent few days looking for appropriate stuff but whatever I came across, was more like scattered pieces of a Jigsaw puzzle. Google Map APIs is another thing that I need alot to learn about ! so Kindly guide me through and give me something to start with ....... I'l be very very grateful !!
regards,
an aspiring dev !
I wrote a custom GIS android app in flash builder 4.5.1, the code base is flex and actionscript using ESRI's arcserver flex api and uses adobe air for native integration on a mobile device. The web service is a local service I am serving up through the town I work for, it is using ArcServer to serve the data. You can check out the app in the android market its called Vernon GIS Fire. ESRI also has an app in the market, it allows you to search their resource center for different web services, you could upload your own data in the resource center and serve it up using their resoucres

Hi,
I would like to automate the following task on my Android 2.1 device (Nook Simple Touch):
1. Once a week go a website (in an invisible browser in the background)
2. Type user name and password in a form on that site
3. Wait until you get forwarded by the website
4. Click on a download link and save the file to a certain location on the sdcard.
Is there any easy way to do this without having to write a full application?
I tried googling but it is one of those cases where it is not really clear what to search for. I found the Android scripting engine, but this seems as complicated as making a full app.
If any of you have an idea I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
rhhd
EDIT: In case anyone is interested: A newspaper I have a subscription to is publishing an epub version of their newspaper every week. I would like to automatically save this epub file to my Nook Simple Touch.
i tried to look for an answer for you.
I dont think this is possible, without writing a special app for that.
please tell us (if you can), the name of the magazine, maybe it can help!
I suggest you look into Tasker. It can automate a lot of stuff... and, just maybe, do what you want. I don't know enough to say it can or not.
I would get information from the gurus, first. You can find discussion groups through the developer's site. If it sounds possible (and/or someone provides you with a template), then you can try the trial version to see if it works.
Hi,
I doubt that I'm the first one to think about this but I couldn't find anything useful trying to search for it, so here is what I'm looking for:
Is there an app that I can use to share a number of apps I installed on a webpage including QR-codes, GPlay-links, short descriptions etc.? The apps I know of mostly share text only and/or links but none I found allow me to generate a webpage (or use a site for this) which has all the info in a neat, organized way so that my friends can read the descriptions and decide which apps to download from there.
AppBrain's API has an app widget that would be somewhat fitting but 1) there is no app to automatically create those based on a list of apps on your phone and 2) it requires people to use AppBrain, which some people don't like.
Basically, I'd like to have it created automatically and look like the ones used by Android Police (but with links to Play-Store only and no need for ratings)
Anyone know an app like that?
TIA

Since I got no replies, I went ahead and put together a crude PHP script to convert a list containing Market/Play-links to a webpage and to host that list on PasteHTML.com in case you want to share it with someone (since I don't have the hosting for that). If you are interested, you can check it out here (sorry if it's slow, it's running on my home server). I'm still looking for an app that could do this though but for now this is better than nothing
Hi,
I am freelancer and WP developer myself. I have several clients who want to have own WP app (because I told them that Windows Phone is a cool platform which it really is). But I do not have time on these projects because I am currently working upon other projects. It is simpler for me to buy already existing app, white label it, add new features if required, etc and sell to my clients.
That’s why I want to buy source code of already existing Windows Phone app. If you already own Windows Phone app with source codes and rights on it then I am ready to buy this app with all rights.
It does not manner what kind your app is.
If you are interested then please send me following stuff (optional):
1. Screenshots of app
2. Links to WP Store if exists
3. What is your price for this app
4. How many downloads per month this app generates (or any another rough info about downloads stat)
I will analyze this info and will probably buy your app.
Many thanks!
P.S. Sorry if I posted in wrong thread. I wanted to post this message in more specific subforum (for Windows Phone developers) but rules of this forums does not allows me to do this because I am noob.

Well, there are many free app generators out there... you may want to try FollowMyFeed
Microsoft already has uploaded many source codes for apps, f.e. Weather forecast.

Hello
I'm not a developer but I'm in the process of creating specifications to find a freelance developer to create an app that will be on the Play Store. =)
I'd like to have your insight to see if my application is "possible" regarding the compatibility of various smartphones under Android BUT ALSO regarding the rules imposed by Google for an application to be available on the Play Store.
I want to make an app where you enter the URL of a website, the app will crawl (background task) the site that can have 10,000 pages for example. And the app checks if there are dead links on the site (404 pages, sites that are no longer available etc.).
The app must therefore visit all the pages of the site entered by the app user, with his IP and from his device. It must make all these requests in the background throughout the day.
Does this seem possible ?
Does this sound acceptable to the Play Store rules ?
Do you think it's feasible on the vast majority of Android smartphone models in the world (Nokia, Oppo, Samsung...) ?
Thanks a lot for your help anyway
