Hello everyone,
I just wanted to announce a work-in-progress that I'm working on to capture information from the forums at xda and tegratabs. I'm trying to get information into an easily searched location so that if anyone needs to find out something, they can do a direct search and locate it quickly. My goal is to go through the monster threads and cull the good info and organize it in a manner that allows for the average user to find what they need quickly.
The url is http://tegratab.wikidot.com. All are welcome to help edit the site although I do ask that you email me for format, template, etc.
I am not trying to take away any discussion from xda or tegratab.com. I just want to develop a place that makes it easy for the newcomer (and vet alike) to find info as quickly as possible.
This will not incur extra work for the awesome mod builders, developers, etc. You guys keep on posting in the forums; we'll capture the info and make it searchable.
I make no money from this nor will I accept money for this. The site is free; no renumeration is necessary.
Thanks,
EJ

http://wiki.tegratab.com was started a week or so ago and needs some input if you want to do it there, or you can take from what is there already and add to yours.
Hello, not sure about the subject nomenclature there but I am requesting for some amazing developers to design a simple widget that will tell the user how many unread google talk messages there are. This would be amazing. If you decide to make this I would certainly donate and I imagine others would too as there is a need for something like this.
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm a noob app developer trying to do it for the first time. I'm trying to create an event calendar app for company's internal purposes. So that everyone in the company (which uses a lot of android phones) can be updated on company events that are coming up.
My approach is to create a database with MySQL for events input, and to use PHP to connect the database which is in a server and to push it to the android devices that are used in the office as that's how I found it in a tutorial from HelloAndroid.
My questions are:
1. is this the best approach to create such app?
2. Can I use Android's default calendar to input these events? if not is there some kind of calendar template that I can use to display the information to the users.
Probably will have more questions as I progress, but please help if anyone is more experienced in these matters than I am.
Thank you very much, and really appreciate the inputs that I'm gonna get
A simple solution would be to use Google Calendar.
By using GC you can add/edit events either from a PC (work or home) or your Mobile anywhere in the World.
All that is required is for someone to first set up the calendar on Google and push it out to all those who you want to see it.
This way you are not isolating anyone who does not have an Android Phone.
that's a really good point. Especially in a closed environment like an office. I didn't think of that before. THank you very much.
However, if let's say I want to try to build an app for that for public use, not just confined to limited numbers of people in a company.
Would that be the best approach or if there's any better way to approach it. I may decide to build the app after all just to learn and gain experience in app development.
thanks again for the feedback, really appreciate it.
I can't really give you advice on developing an App sorry.
All I can say is the method I mention is the one which I use to keep all my Operational Team (Surgeons/Doctors/Nurses/Admin/etc) updated and advised.
There's nothing short in you developing your own Calendar App but you would have to ensure it would be available to all and that includes anyone anywhere regardless of the fact they are at work, home, holiday, with Android or not, have a Phone, PC, Mac, etc... etc...
For that there's already a stable tool by the name of Google Calendar.
If you do develop one I'd still be interested in seeing what ideas you could bring into practice that would have a benefit over GC.
I understand your point of view, and actually you got me thinking, maybe if I really want to do the apps, I can create an app that calls the Gcalendar events, and display it from the app. I can find out the API to do that, and that would be much simpler.
Thank you again for your input, really appreciate i

No problem.... I wish you well on your venture.
Do please let us all know how you get on.. You never know, if it becomes that good I may even use it myself over the stock calendar App or any of the other's that already link to GC.
I know this might be the wrong place to ask (and any suggestions of a better place would be much appreciated), but I was hoping one of you would be able to help me out.
I've been using the official Twitter client because of it's ability to notify me of individual tweets. Like, when I mark someone with the star and when they tweet, I get an individual notification for each person who's marked with a star.
Now, I haven't been able to find any other client that can or will do this. Fenix will give me one notification with multiple tweets listed, but when I touch it, it just takes me to my general Twitter timeline. I couldn't seem to get the Falcon Pro one to work at all. :-/
Does anyone:
a) know what I'm talking about
b) know of an app that does this besides the default client
c) know if it's possible for an app to do this, or if this is one of those features that Twitter makes impossible for devs
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Hey guys.. I have a number of apps on the app store and have worked for a number of startups on their Android applications and something I find a huge pain is managing user submitted bugs, feature request, ideas, feedback etc.. Currently I get all of those via email, facebook, twitter, google plus and they all go into a text file (I know..) which is a pain to manage..
Obviously there are tools like Jira and the like but I was wondering if there are any other tools you guys use for this kind of thing, preferably something I could direct users to so they can see what's in the pipeline, what's being fixed etc.. but if not anything to manage it would be great.
Btw for complete transparency I'm currently looking at building a platform to solve this problem for myself so I'm just looking for feedback from the community if this is actually an issue or if there's some well known tool I've somehow missed which would save me the time.
