So for my class I need to make a mobile app about the arctic fox. I no absolutely no coding at all and have been scouring the web for programs that will work. I've tried MIT/Google App creator but didn't have much luck with it. I'd like it so that when you press any one of the 5 images of the fox a text box will pop out with additional information. For the title page, I just want it to simply show it as a splash screen. If anyone can recommend a suitable program that would be amazing!
Umm seems that since I don't have 10 posts kindly look at this thread for the images: overclock.net/t/1347502/making-an-android-app-help/0_30
Warm regards

Surely your class wouldnt give you work to do that wasnt something you had already learnt or was meant to learn?
To answer your question there are a number of sites that offer this but most that I know of are paid for
i can help you with coding if you want... just write me a pn...
i not the best with the android sdk because i only developed some games with other engines for android but i think i can help you
Sorry for my bad englisch

lol you'd think so right? Funny thing is this is a science course and all she did was link some free app builder (they are terrible btw). I have no idea why this assignment is here. I found MobinCube which has everything I need except the fact that it just smacks an ad right on the bottom of it and paying for an ad free one is 150$.

Thanks! I'll keep this in mind and if I can't find any other solution I'll definitely turn to you for help. Cheers.

Okay, I started this project about a month ago and I never really got into it. Now that I have some spare time I decided to continue.
I'm writing a program to download the latest CyanogenMod or TheOfficial Nexus ROM. After that you will choose what you want in the ROM (eg. wifi tether, Amazon MP3, Spare Parts)
Once you decide what you want in the ROM the program will remove whatever you do not want and rebuild it for you. After you rebuild it, it will give you the option allow the program to move it to your sdcard and even reboot your phone into recovery where you can perform a Nandroid and apply the ROM yourself (I will not write the program to apply the ROM because it's not really a good idea).
The program will be free of charge and you can download it and install it directly on your computer. (Windows only, sorry)
Now this sounds a LOT easier than it really is so if anybody has any experience with C# let me know if you want to help. Send me an email at [myscreenname] gmail com. Please do not email or chat me unless you're wanting to help develop the code. When I need testers I will let you know.

Q & A
Q: How is this different than Modaco's ROM kitchen?
A: Mine is software, installs on your computer with updates, and it will be free.
It's not exactly the same thing but close.
No hard feelings Modaco, don't take it personal.
Q: When will it release?
A: I can't tell you a date or a specific time but I'm working on it and I will post it the minute I think it's stable enough to pass out.
Q: Will it work on Linux or Mac?
A: Originally no, but I've had some ideas come in about Mac so I'll let you know

"The program will be free of charge and you can download it and install it directly on your computer."
Free (no need to be a paid member of somewhere) and it's not a web app.
AWESOME!!!! I have always wanted something like this... and its free!!!
it will run on linux ?
I'd love to test it for you when your looking for some beta testers

Okay, thanks. I'll let you know when I get to that point.
Thanks for you efforts. I Don agree with modaco charging for something that has been free to access. What if xda forum started charging to access this site? It would kill the spirit of what most Tom chefs do here. Smh.
Sheesh, you guys don't read, or something.
He doesnt charge for access to his ROMs. But he offers his subscribers the benefit of being able to customize their ROMs to their liking, pre-flash. The "base" install without customizations are, and always have been, available for free.
Wow!
Any idea of a release date?
I can see a new section of the cm website coming soon ..............
Will you already need to be rooted for this program to work or will this be a graphical program that will also root the phone? Thanks
Looking forward to this, i will definitely contribute to your cause.
I will also volunteer to beta test for you, as well as donate for a copy of the final product. I think its awesome you're doing this.
And, as a guy who tri-boots Fedora, OSX and Win7, I feel you on the "I only write Windows stuff".
However, you should check into this tool, to make what you're writing at least cross-platform for Mac. And, its totally free (and no, I don't work for them).

You don't need a Mac to deploy to one. This is basically an IDE with a Cocoa compiler as well as a .NET compiler.
Kind of similar to how Visual Studio translates whatever language you're writing in to MSIL before compiling, but on a broader scale.
Here's a question I've not seen asked yet....
I've just started using Google's appinventor and I'm wondering if there is any way of loading an ".apk" file into it. If not, how can I convert an .apk file into an appinventor project file?
Guess I must be posting in the wrong place!

no idea, sorry
Also, I tried app inventor for a bit... I guess it does what it says it will do, ie cater to the needs of non-dev people who want to make apps
But coming from a dev background, I don't see myself working with it too long, just to get familiar with the android OS. Once I do that, its back to good old Eclipse

Where would I start learning about programming for Android? I'm a total beginner, but I learn quickly
Well, is not difficult as long as you have some programming knowledge.
It won't make a big difference if is Android or other platform
Specifically for android:
http://developer.android.com/index.html
And google search

JQ,
If you mean uploading an app to the Market, then you need to sign-up to be an Android developer (25 bucks).
Some useful links:
http://developer.android.com/index.html
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html
http://market.android.com/publish
Didn't see your thread until after I got home from work...
Cheers!
if you just want to post comments, you first need to download the app, then you get the option to rate and comment. Download app, then hit Post a Comment
thanks you very much. Sorry I had to delete because no one would help me out. Just one person but didn't understand.
I paid the fee and got an account. I'm just not sure about those "manifest, xml, and other files" to put in my app. I'm not a developer, I just create images on my photoshop cs5. I do a good job and wouldn't post junk. I just don't know the lingo that goes with the app. I create good quality, very detailed icons, clocks, docks would love to create a theme but its the files that I don't know.
I was looking for help on this.

There's tons of great web sites with simple tutorials and apps--a great way to get started and dip your toe in the pool, so-to-speak. I've found that by searching and trying stuff out, you'll learn a lot in a short time. Don't try to absorb and understand it all at once--there's just too much. Take small bites of the Android pie and it'll digest much easier
There's a few good books out there too, but I would advise searching for helpful sites that lead you through some simple apps first. This will teach you about Eclipse and the basic things that you can do for building said apps.
Good luck and cheers!
Guys, I've been working on building this site for the last month or so:
http://www.websitetoapp.net
To summarize what my website does: This is a simple Andoroid App Builder from any content, in literally 1 click.
You don't have to know a single line of coding.
It's enough that you have some content to share. For example your website, or your blog or your twitter account ( twitter com/ your user name) or Facebook pages are good examples.
Trick: Even your favorite website is a good idea to make an app!
I hear you're asking "Ok but how do I monetize it?"
Monetizing you apps are as easy as one click. (You will only enter your AdMob ID while building your app.. As easy as copy and pasting). So that you can get 100% of the ad revenue.
So please check it your self!
Would be glad if you could leave your feedbacks.
Thanks

hello,
am on miui 11.0.5.0 global and was able to remove the stock mi browser(v10.....etc).
am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?
I know I'm not answering your question.
But why exactly do you prefer to use a browser filled with ads and junk?

Poco launcher gives you a neat way of hiding those bits of xiaomi scurf that you can't uninstall - why not just do that and browse with Iron or something better?

I never said i cant uninstall it.....read reply #4
Regardless of ads or not, why do you still insist on using a inferior browser when there are so many others out there that do a better job.

i already mentioned the cause above!......the old version am talking about has a certain feature that isnt working anymore in new versions!.
All you mention is "the feature I'm looking for" or the "cause I'm looking for"
There's no direct mention or explanation of what you're looking for. Maybe more people will help you if you choose to explain a bit more rather than shut down every comment that's trying to help you.

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.
