Oh, I just saw that you did not apply a license to it. :eek:

I recommend doing that very quickly. You should determine how others might use your app.

Examples would be the GPL, BSD or Apache 2.0 licenses.

I'm praying so hard and wishing so bad that somebody here could help me re-create or develop an existing app. The developer of the app and/or company behind it seems to have no plans to update it while it does need some fixing. If anybody here is interested please let me know. The app is related to a gmate device which I successfully was able to install in my Nexus 7 running JB 4.3 stock ROM. I'm thinking of no real major change, some GUI improvements if possible, and some bug fixes.

I wanted to do this myself and contribute it to every android forum especially here but after more than 30 mins of trying to learn app developing, I know in my heart that I'm not one with the gift.

So again, please help me.

Thanks and more power!
[Your Portfolio] nikwen:
Well, app development cannot be learned within 30 minutes. It takes some more time. ;)

Don't give up. It's fun. ;)
[Your Portfolio] choybel:
While I definitely agree with this, I also believe that my limitations is what really halts me to succeed. Nonetheless, your words has inspire me and I shall give it a little more push. Thanks!

P.S.

I would still be grateful for any developers willing to grant my request.

...and also anybody willing to teach me the basics or at least point me to the right direction...
[Your Portfolio] nikwen:
Great. :)

Btw, which limitations do you talk about? Why should they stop you?

I started on a very old computer, too. I didn't have much programming experience, too. So that shouldn't stop you.

You've got to invest some time though. (Maybe more than just some time. Let's be realistic. ;))

Conditional Live Wallpapers

I've been working on trying to make conditional wallpapers. The apps cannot generate profit as they must be system applications...

basically the LG intuition came out with "Charge Wallpapers(live wallpaper switcher that switches live wallpapers while the phone is charging, then back to original when phone is not charging" and I've been trying to rewrite the source to make 2 other styles of conditional wallpapers

Example of the charge walls hahaha

[YOUTUBE]A1SEHdCYCK0[/YOUTUBE]

-Music Wallpapers(The Live wallpaper switches to a music visualization style live wallpaper while AudioManager.IsPlayingMusic, then returns to the previous default static or live wallpaper you have set once the music stops)

-Weather Live Wallpapers, Linked to the Alarm with a conditional delay so that once your wake up alarm goes off you can have a "Live weather wallpaper" instead of a widget for a certain period of time after your wakeup alarm goes off. Once the set period has passed the live wallpaper switches back to default.

Both of these require a full Internal SDK and specific permissions..anyway Its been giving me a headache..so if anyone would like to help or has a better idea than I on how to accomplish this shoot me a PM and I can share what recreated source I do have so far.
[Your Portfolio] nikwen:
That's looking cool. :good:

[MENTION=4986903]Deckoz2302[/MENTION]

What you are trying to do is not too hard actually. All you have to do is monitor the Battery Status for your Wallpaper Service. You can use the isCharging boolean to do so. You can even monitor and change wallpaper based on whether the battery is charging via USB, AC, etc using BATTERY_PLUGGED_AC, etc.
[Your Portfolio] Deckoz2302:
Yes I know this.

The problem isn't so much the variables. It's writing a Live wallpaper picker. No one seems to have done so....

With the music its easy as I rely on audio manager and the alarm is relatively the same basing the switch off of alarm trigger.

But Google it and you will only find static wallpaper switchers. Because to change a live wallpaper requires 4 permissions with root access....

I'm using the LG charge walls as an example. As there is a separate live wallpaper picker for that entirely....

Like I said no one seems to have done this before.

Here's a link to the charge walls and picker so you can see what I'm trying to accomplish with music and weather/alarm

http://db.tt/78TIN0Wk

Install them in system/app

Long press on home to pick a wallpaper and you'll see battery charging. Make sure the check box is enabled then pick a wallpaper and plug in your phone. I have yet to see anything remotely similar to this anywhere

So far from what I've gathered for an independent live wallpaper picker like the charged picker apk posted above. I need

-boot receiver

-static system listener service

-modified preview live wallpaper . Java

-modified wallpaper picker.java with white listed live walls to show as well as a check box preference

-the manifest providing the 4 permissions to pull system properties as well as invoke setting the live wall, pulling the intent of the previous live wall.
[Your Portfolio] EatHeat:
It would be nice if you post some screenshots. I currently do not have my phone, but I would like to help you out. Post a few images and I'll see where I can help. :)

[YOUTUBE]Sc3mIvr6YWI[/YOUTUBE]

Like I said [MENTION=5048563]EatHeat[/MENTION] it requires a full internal sdk so you can call on hidden/internal API'S so I spent the past 2 days compiling from source to get a functioning android.jar anyway..I can share the eclipse project if you want when in get off as I've been trying to rebuild the broken dex2jar decompile of the charge picker and re manipulate it
[Your Portfolio] EatHeat:
Ah. Thanks for the video. Now I get what you mean.

Basically LG created the separate picker as they wanted to keep it separate, which you can exclude. That is same like a developer adding 5 wallpapers in a single app and letting the user choose from any of them.

Now on to the main part, just use the BATTERY_STATUS_CHARGING to change the wallpaper same way the battery level rises in the status bar. Take a look BatteryManager in the Official Documentation for a better idea.

Hope it helps.

Edit: You might want to take a look at this. This lets you call on internal and hidden apis. ;)

[Your Portfolio] Deckoz2302:
Ugh

I don't need battery, or the audio manager lines. Or the alarm trigger.

Yes all silicon manufacturer make separate "static" wallpapers

Making a static wallpaper container like OEMS is easy

Making a live wallpaper is easy

Making the switch statement for charging or music is playing or alarm triggered is easy

Invoking a static wallpaper is easy and can either be done with reflection in a user app/service or with tasker

I'm curious about WallpaperPicker.java, WallpaperPreview.java. to create a stand alone live wallpaper picker (not a static image picker). The live wallpaper picker APIs are hidden internal and are not documented very well and normally only accessed via reflection when people call on the IWallPaperManager.mEngine to create an instance of the wall for preview. anyway

As stated previously no one has done this before with LIVE WALLPAPERS only static as static wallpapers are invoked via the launcher where live wallpapers are invoked via framework . jar in the iWallpaperManager which can only be accessed with permission as well as being a root system app.
[Your Portfolio] EatHeat:
You missed the link I posted where it shows how to mod your Eclipse to use the hidden and internal apis. Also there's a guide around here on xda on how to do the same.

Greetings everyone,

I have a offer and a challenge for anyone willing to accept and is qualified to achieve.

There "WAS" a game that was pulled from market due to poor management and content as well as the name of app (Developer banned) from market also.

What I would to do is re-create this game and content completely since I loved to play it myself as well as others.

Brief description of game includes...

Live chat room, real-time score board and basic buying and selling (repeatedly). So webserver interrogation knowledge is needed.

I will supply all needed to achieve the above. What I need from you is your experience level and Most important a way to contact each other when needed other than PM here.

If you are willing to take this challenge please PM me. If you have any questions as I'm sure you will please PM me as well.

Just to be clear, I do NOT want this app COPIED from the original whatsoever!

Funds are limited but available, I will not allow the project to be Free based.

P.s Great thread to start off developers and entrepreneurs!!!!

Android UI developer needed

Adroid UI Developer needed

I think that it is not getting off-topic. We talked about software licenses for the open source software someone published because he was/is looking for people participating in the project.
[Your Portfolio] MattMatt0240:
Hello all! I am a smalltime Android developer writing in java. I have been learning on my own (YouTube videos, stack overflow, etc...) for ~2+ years now. I absolutely love coding (the wife, not so much) and am very interested in learning as much as possible.

What I'm getting at is:

1) I don't know if I would be considered an actual dev, but my work can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=High+Caliber+Productions under "High Caliber Productions". If I fit the description, albeit with plain apps, feel free to add me to the list. I've learned much more since I've released those apps, and am currently working on making an RPG game, which brings me to

2) I started developing almost 3 years ago, and had absolutely no prior knowledge in any programming language. As a dedicated gamer, I am looking to make one myself. This is becoming difficult to do by myself, so if anyone wants to chip-in a little bit, or partner up with the intention of teaching/learning from each other(sorry, I have a fairly poor background), PM me :) I'd really be grateful for a partner/tutor, but I know that's like asking a homeless person for a place to stay. I'm an honest person, and easy to work with.

3) Kind of off-topic, I don't know the 1st thing about team-projects (git repo, etc...). Can someone explain the basics of how it works?

4) Lastly, on the topic of open-source. Does open source mean the final published work must be free? Not that it bothers me, just simply a curious mind looking for all the answers :p

Great thread, if this is the wrong place for this post please let me know. Thank you all :good:

Im too a teenager. That not a matter here ;) anyway, if its going to be unpaid, I gonna put in some conditions. You don't get source, you are not allowed to share the app/publish it in play store or other places. It can only be used for your personal use. This applies after hearing the required features. If the features look complex, I will not take up the project which I will notify you before hand and promise not to copy your idea ;)

I have started with making small apps, then my last app was daydream for pre jellybean devices and now I have a project in work-something like su.

1) Of course, you are one. You can program and want to work together with others or for others. I'll add you. ;)

2) You could get involved into open-source projects (or make your projects open source and hope that someone will join you). It's fun, really. ;)

3) I think that the git tutorial by Vogella is really good.

4) Which definition of free do you mean? Do you mean free as in freedom or free as in beer?

If you're talking about freedom to do everything with the code, it's nearly unavoidable.

If you talk about not charging for it, then the answer is no. You can charge for it. But be aware that everybody can compile it and upload it free of charge. If you add advertisements, everyone can remove them.

Open-source is great if you code for pleasure. If you want to make money, it's probably the wrong way.
[Your Portfolio] nikwen:
I think that this is really hard.

And do you really think that somebody will do the hard coding part for 50 % of the money.

Don't want to offend you, but many people think that their idea is great and in fact he/she would be the only person who would use it.

If the idea is really great, I can understand that you want money, but the developer does the hard job. I hope that you can understand that. ;)

And something else: In Germany you aren't allowed to sell apps without being 18. You can do it, but you have to do something which is almost the same as founding a company. Are you allowed to do that in your country?

Well, you can place them on the Playstore. If it's for free, it's no problem. But uploading an app and charging a fee for it might be illegal in your country if you're under-age.

You should ask [MENTION=4311415]vijai2011[/MENTION] whether he would be able to do that but it would be possible and it shouldn't be too hard. Maybe he can also do the 3d thing. ;)

Searching for game developer

Hello, everybody. So, probably there are many different developers of games and apps. I'm interested in games, games with something that can enchant you. This is one of those games: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radiangames.bombcats. Sadly, Radiangames now has another big project, so he hasn't any time developing Bombcats. So maybe there are other game developers with such as interesting game ideas? If you are one of them - write me :).

How could I help your project? I am journalist, so I know marketing, public relations and articles writing really well. Also, I know how to use photoshop, so I could help with game design a bit. And if I will really love your game - my head is full of great ideas.

And for the last thing - I'm here not only for the money. It's not about the money, it's about making something special.

So, developers, I'm waiting for your messages with links to your games. I hope I will find that one special game :).

I have recently been playing around with a game idea, a turn-based RPG. I have been getting pretty decent at drawing out sprites for characters, scenery, etc...

I have also gotten familiar with saving persistent data in sqlit3 and simple sharedPreferences.

Is there anyone free that would like to team up and collaberate on ideas/programming of a handy application or entertaining game? This could be a learning experience for anyone involved. I would like to learn from each other, and have fun with it.
