I want to create an app for a forum that I visit a lot, problem is I don't know where to start. I want it to kinda do what the app for this site does, Pulls new threads, news topics so on... Thanks in advance for the directions.
There is an app called Tapatalk for that. Just check whether the forum is supported or not. If not just ask the forum's owner to apply the plugin. You don't need to go all the way to app dev for that.

EDIT: app thread linked in following post
The thread is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841646

Thanks

I tried searching for 'XDA app,' but I guess thats too frequently used to find a thread dedicated to the app, so I thought I would start one in order to address certain issues with the XDA app.
Here are some complaints I have with the app:
1. It won't save my favorite threads. If I navigate to the thread, the menu tells me it is a favorite, yet the thread doesn't show up in my favorites tab.
2. Kind of minor, but I think adding a 'search this thread' option would be nice a well.
Can anyone else confirm these issues?

1. It will show in the favorite tab if you refresh the app. But I personnally prefer to mark it with the star so it is immediately displayed in my favorite threads.
2. I agree. The search function isn't very useful on the application as you get results from all the forum threads which makes it hard to find posts related to your question.

Pleas I'll like to know how to block or auto click a dialog box in an application. A specific app wants me to update each time I get into it and I really don't want to. I know it's on iOS as "automa" but would love if u can help
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You might try tasker. I don't use it so can't help much but here's a thread to tasker, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110775 Read through that and if you have questions you can ask in that thread.
Thread closed.
Good Day guys
How do I get notified as soon as any new posts appear in a forum I am interested in ?, that being "Huawei MediaPad X2" forum.
I have the XDA android app, can it be done using that? or by using some automation app such as IFTTT?
Would be great to know as soon as some new content is posted automatically instead of manually checking through all the threads in the forum.
Many thanks

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
You can be automatically notified of new activity in the forum(s) of your choice by using the "subscribe" feature. You can do so from the XDA App's menu or by clicking on the "subscribe forum" link from your browser while viewing the forum. You can manage your subscribed threads from your User Control Panel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php.
For matters dealing with how best to use the XDA Developers site, you may want to browse the "About xda-developers.com" forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda.
I hope this was helpful.
Hi,
I am looking for the right place to get support for the official XDA developer app on android.
I could not identify where I can get this here on the site.
I looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps
and here: http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-android-app/
but neither provided a clear location where to ask questions about the app.
My question is how to add favorite forums/threads in the app (or on the web for that matter). There is a heart symbol on top the the app screen and I have no idea how to use that.
thanks!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
You can subscribe to any forum or thread. To do that from the mobile app, simply click on the start (or heart) symbol that appears on the status bar while you're viewing that forum or thread, or long-press on the thread/forum name and select "subscribe" from the menu.. To view your subscribed threads from a browser, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php. For each subscription, you can select various options such as whether you want to be informed of new post by email weekly, daily, immediately or not at all. If you select not to be notified, the subscribed threads/forums become a list of "favorites" to which you can refer quickly. For matters dealing with the xda-developers.com site or any of it components and tools, visit the "About xda-developers.com" forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda. If you have specific questions about the XDA Android Apps, ask in the "XDA Android App - Problems / Bugs / Feature Requests etc." thread there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841646.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply & help! I was not aware that "favorites" = "subscriptions". I was looking for another button to make a forum a favorite. It's clear now.
