Idea: gTalk widget - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Sorry for the double post. I had posted this in the vibrant section by accident. I think it would be best placed here. Anyway. A gtalk widget, One that shows the last 2 or 3 messages and has the ability to answer back. It could look like a twitter widget in all actuality.
Anyone know of one or have the knowledge to make one? I would pay and im sure others would too.

This is a great idea. I know I would use it as I mainly GTalk, not text.

Yeah, I never use texts. All of my contacts and I use gtalk. Is there anyone out there with enough coding knowledge to do it? I'm sure it would be profitable. Gtalk is built into almost every Android device that I've seen and having a widget would be awesome.

Bump!!! I'd love a widget!! I pretty much only use gtalk

There is a demand for it. I'm sure of it. I am not a coder and I wish I was. Argh.

Final bump. I guess this is just not meant to be. Imagine a widget like this with gtalk, aim, facebook, msn, etc. A dev could charge 99 cents and make thousands.
Oh well.

BUMP: Seriously, why isn't there a Gtalk widget of any sort? I primarily only use Gtalk instead of texting and I would love to reply without going into the app.
Money can be made here people! If I was a developer, I would be all over this. We have billions of battery/calendar/clock apps but the one thing that hasn't been touched is something as common as Gtalk. I would definitely pay for something like this.

Also bump. This is a great idea.

bump. a gtalk widget would be great!

Love this idea!

I think without hacking the google talk apk the only way to do this would be to write a independent app with the google talk api.
So you would have to use that app instead of gtalk and maybe not have it integrated into android as well.

Buba BUMP. Please someone create this app, I am really surprised there is nothing out there. Come on Google get your finger out ya @#*

I knew there would be a market for this!
I really wish I knew how to code, this would be the first thing I would make.
Any takers? I don't know how hard it would be to make, but there are people willing to pay.

One last bump for bumps sake.

Google App Inventor

Has anyone else been invited to use this software here in Incredible section? I got my invite the other day and FORGOT! that I had it till today. I am going to check out the app inventor section here in XDA but wanted to know if there was anyone closer to home with it?
I played with it a little, went through a couple tutorials. It works as advertised. When I get some free time I'll dig in deeper

Can you upload the software? Is there any way its locked down to only the people who got invites?
The software works in 2 parts - a web app that handles the gui, and a java app that handles functionality and talks to the phone.
The java app is launched by the web interface, which you sign into with your gmail account. So, unless you have an invite, no go.

I signed up, hell, long time ago and never got an invite. Oh I wish for it though.
I signed up when I heard about it, I got my invite like two weeks ago... but, I have no idea what to try and make.

I had a GREAT idea for an app and signed up. It's been weeks with no response and now I've forgotten what I was going to do.

I always get my beta invites quick from Google. I think it has to do with the fact that I have been with them since 2004 with gmail. I got a Google Voice invote one day after a request last year, and a Google Wave invite within a few days last year. Or I'm just lucky.
Anyways, anybody have any good app ideas they want to see? I really want to get to know this software and have a few good ideas so far like a copy/paste section implemented in the drop down notifier. Where you can paste text or pictures for easy access to copy to another program, you wouldn't have to copy/paste one big section you could copy and paste to the notifications bar what you want and then paste them later. I also want to get a good Google Voice Text app that looks a little better than stock. What do you think?

All of you that have signed up but got no notice will want to try to login anyways as that is what I did. I signed up as soon as the announced it and tried yesterday even though I did not get a response saying I was invited and was able to login and play around for a bit.
I got my invite the other day and have already created an app for my Church. We stream our service live. We have a iphone app for it and now we have a android app for it
So I was playing around with three tutorials and figured out the sms party I just need to figure out how to have it call google voice not the phones standard sms. Any ideas?

I had a good idea for an app on BB when I was using it and I would still like it on android.... It is an alarm where to make it snooze you have to draw a pattern or put together a small puzzle to either turn off you're alarm or snooze.. I even had a good name that a dev from BB gave me "Snooze control" Feel free to make it if you want all I want is a free copy.
I got an invite when they first went out (I signed up the day they announced it.) I roll my own short URLs (similar to bit.ly but with my own 3 letter domain.)
With little coding experience to draw upon, I created a fully skinned app that connects to my API and shortens any URL I submit via the app. Pretty fantastic functionality and I only see it getting better as they get feedback on it and continue to refine the process.
It's very liky to do with this. I'll still waiting for an invite, maybe very long...

Interesting Apps

If anyone comes across any interesting apps, let's share here xD
Couple apps I'd like to share is:
Sony panorama camera... Works pretty decently on our phone you need to install the sony propriety files first xD
Text notify.... Kinda replaces the purpose of the ticker.... :/ if you trade the continuum in for the fascinate, that app would be a god send.. Basically it makes toasts for your messages xD

The Amazon App Store is a great app to have. Why? Amazon features a paid app each day they let you download for free.
To get it, go to Amazon's website and download the .apk.

wifi chat?

First off thanks for any help...
I would like some help with something I think would be great for my droid. I am not sure if it is out as an app or not, but if it is not I think someone could make some cash.
Here is what I am looking for...
I would like to have my droid as a wifi hotspot ( yes easy ), but on top of That I would like a hands free chat program. I ride with my brothers on our motorcycles all the time. We keep wondering if there is an easy way to chat back and forth. I thought if there was a program out to do that I would check it out. Well so far I have not found one. All chat programs I found are not for just local chat. They all seem to use the net. We would just like it to be only on wifi between us....we would use our blue tooth head sets to hear and talk..
Anyone know of a program we can use? Could any of you programers write an app?
Hope I can find help..... Thanks

Vehicle inspection app needed

I am looking for an app that i can use to do vehicle inspections, i am in charge of inspecting all the used cars that my dealer group buys and right now i am just doing it the old fashioned way i would like it to be a full blown software that will allow me to input pictures and then make a final report that i can email to the next person.
i have found a few things but no luck
i like this but the company has yet to get back to me
www.inspect2go.com/inspection/vehicle/
how hard would this be?
can anyone help?
thanks
matt
can anyone help out or direct me in a way?
I don't think you will find such an app in the market at the moment i'd suggest to use oldschool methods but i do know there is a few app to test torque and such

I think this is a great idea more generally. If there's a developer out there I think automotive support apps would be tremendously useful for a lot of people. I would pay for something that let me keep track of what maintenance I need to do and how to do it.
I was considering developing on MiUI styled messaging application for non MiUI roms. But at heart I am a data driven developer. If you want, contact me by inbox and we can see if this is possible and how easy it would be to implement. Obviously the clearer the specs, the easier it is to get started on a project like this
Perhaps something like evernote or extensive notes might work for you.

Video chat on Google Talk?

Has anyone figured out a way to get video chat on Gingerbread? A lot of my friends can do it on google talk from their phones. I can't from my droid charge.
Sent from my SCH-I510
Theoretically you could use Google Talk, although I haven't tried it. Do some research and see what you can come up with.
