I want to make a make a simple app

Hi ,
I Have a very good idea for an app that is rather simple but very useful. It involves simply a Specific picture which you can zoom and pan around then there are a few text boxes I want included in the app to search.
For example , A route finder that is already on the internet. You enter the details on the box on the computer then the results come up. But i want the boxes off the website and instead linked to my app , then the results appear on my app. So a search function is possible via the application.
The problem is I am a total newbie to codes etc and haven't got a clue where to start in the least. The app is very simple and an experienced person could create it in know time but I am a newbie and willing to learn to create some useful apps to put on the market free for all to share.
Thanks

Have a look at the Android Developers website
Hi ,
Thanks for that , I've had a look but it is so so confusing :S
Oh yes , and if it counts I'm going to be using windows vista to create the app?? Is there possibly a beginners guide to creating these apps or what??
Oh yes and I have now got one part sorted (sort of) , I will use the image viewer already on the phone to allow the scrolling and zoom of the image.
Anyone got an idea how long it would approximately take to create such an app??

SMS in Diamond2

Do you see graphic smileys in your Diamond2 SMS tab? I only see textual smileys, and HTC support said the only solution is to install a 3rd party program.
If none of you can see graphic smileys, what are you using to see them?
This post is not related with graphic smiles but as it is related with sms i will post it here and avoid several threads.
It happens frequently that when I switch on the display I receive de alert sound of a new sms. The sms was received before, sometimes a long time before but the alert sound only sounds when the display is switched on.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks

You mean the "flip album" interface in the "people" tab? Post a link to what you're referring to.
If that is what you mean, then just tap on the + button and add a favorite contact. This is a place you can store favorite contacts, ones that already exist in your contact list. Once you tap the + button, you can select a picture, etc.

x[1].Xhtml in Internet Explorer

I am currently testing a ROM and it works fine. The only problem is that very often in IE when I click a link to open it opens me another link in another tab named x [1]. Xhtml where the photos are not displayed and are not downloadable. In addition to the link macro does not work for example at the bottom of the page if I click "next page" it does not work.
Can a kind soul can tell me what is due to this problem that I can settle once and for all?
Thank you in advance.
It's not only on custom roms, i've got this one too on original ROM with all links from Google Search.
sepplac colonies,
Sucks big time. Is google trying to make the WP experience as poor as possible or is this MS promoting Bing? Either way, this should be fixed.

Current Bugs:
Takes about 2 and half minutes for it to add the website you choose to the list, not that big of a deal. However Iā€™m working on fixing it.
Please report any bugs I will attempt to resolve them ASAP.
Thank you guys for all your support, I will update this thread as soon as the new release is available

Nice work
Btw I read on neowin about this tool deleting logins etc.
I think it has to delete browsing history or clear the cache in order to work. I dont think it will work without deleting one of those.
Let me know if you find a method to make it work without the need to delete browsing history and then ill add it to the other thread.

Yeah it will delete your stored login information.
I think i can get it to work without deleting the saved password information. I will be working on that this weekend along with a few more tweaks. I really just wanted to get it out there and have more people testing it.
If someone can confirm exactly what needs to be cleared I can adjust the settings in the script. Otherwise I will do my testing and find out.

Hey so I looked into it for you. I got it to work it wasn't to hard. So what is happening is the acutal video is hosted on another site so not only will you need to add slipstreamtv.com you will need to add the site that hosts the actual live TV. Now to find out the website that is hosting it all you have to do on a regular computer that has flash enabled you will need to right click where the video box is and click "settings" then click the little folder icon and it will show you the website where it is getting the stream from. I have posted pictures on how to do it.
However in this case it looks like slipstreamtv.com uses udemy.com but a lot one more website that I found by going through the HTML source of the website. I added the following site and it worked without an issue.
slipstreamtv.com
udemy.com
sawlive.tv

Remember sometimes you may need to look at the HTML code on the source page.
I have a question. Not to complain or anything. Why don't we set the required domain as "debug domain" in registry instead of messing with the white list? In my experience, using debug domain trick is much cleaner and it still allow the while list to get updated by Microsoft.

Hey, I choose to do it this way because I did not want to add a ton of strings into the Registry. I'd rather play around with the white list then with the registry. I will be updating the custom white list thats within the tool often so that it will be very much up to date as Microsoft and contain custom ones as well.

[TOOL][2.3+] Share files over wifi

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!ā€‹
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app
Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why
http 192.168.1.133:4321/shbx_uri/ictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_2014-10-27-14-17-01.png
'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*
The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!
Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...
