I have spent so much time using tutorials etc trying to create a simple webview app but it seems most code is outdated etc I tried android developers site but tut there did not seem to quite work. I also want it so links clicked stay in webview and do not take you to normal browser. Can anyone help with this at all would be very much appreciated.

Hey guys - I know this has been asked before, but I've been unable to find a decent answer:
Is there any Lynx-like browser for Android? I don't mind if it runs in the terminal or whatever, but I reckon it would do my limited data quota a massive favour.

why don't you just disable the downloading of images?

Have you tried Opera Mini? If you are worried about your data usage, I think you'll love its server-side compression technology. Well, depending in what are your feelings about your browsing privacy.
I know I can disable images, and yes, I tried a couple of browsers with server-side compression, but I was really hoping for the plain simplicity of a Lynx-like app. Thanks for the replies so far!

The other thing you might consider is RSS. I read a lot of websites like this. Most major news websites now support RSS. Good luck. Lynx is hard to read and manage as it was designed for an earlier implementation of the web.
I wonder if it isn't easy to do since 1) it's all open source and 2) it should be a textbook JNI port...

There are some instructions here, in chinese. If anyone does get a working binary, let us know;
http://www.embedu.org/Column/Column294.htm
Update: I followed the instructions, and it works. Here are the results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16050683
I read through the instructions... Very nice and detailed directions there! However, they're not even using the NDK, they're compiling an ARM executable for Lynx (so if we go that route, the result would be a binary that has to be run from terminal emulator).
Food for thought...
Binary compiled successfully!
Done it!
I just followed the instruction from the chinese professor, and it works fine for me. I have created a tread for it at:

The zip file is there, along with the instructions. Enjoy!

TextOnly browser for android which displays only content from the article by stripping ads,scripts and images
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spacenext.textonly
There was something i used to do when i was browsing using an old Nokia dumbphone that might help.
Type the following into your address bar:
http://www.google.com/xhtml
Now search for the site you want to visit, i.e xda-developers, and click on the link. You should now be seeing it in a low data format. It's not pretty but it works pretty well on a mobile browser.
If you want you can then bookmark the site as it is, so that it will still have that formatting when you return to it next. Obviously, for every site you want to visit you have to go through the above, but if you also bookmark the xhtml version of google you can always start your browsing session from there and just bookmark all your reformatted favourites as you go.
For that mobile view you can just use the "mobile view (GWT)" option in Dolphin Browser HD

Little Web Browser is pretty similar to Lynx. Free, but a HUGE fee if you want to get rid of the ads.
It is amazing how you'll always have at least one idiot in almost every forum who has no clue to what the correct answer might be but instead of shutting his ugly mug he tries to be a smart-ass and suggest a retarded "solution" that the OP had already discarded even before he asked. "Eh, why don't you disable images on Opera? (monkey squeaks)" ... well no ****tard, that's not a solution not even a proper answer to the question.
Looking to make an android app... anyone will to help?
I'm interested... just not sure what kinda app and plus on no developer.

So where do we start?
You could start off by using app inventor from google, no coding experience needed.
Hero with Sense 2.3
And then what do I do... I'm clueless....
apps are created in app inventor, by joining pieces of code together, you can then connect your phone to your pc to test the app.
i havent used it much but im sure that for beginners it will be quite useful. just do a google search for "app inventor" and you will get a website where you can download everything you need and watch tutorials on how to create your first app.
i believe there is a guide on here on how to then publish your app inventor app to the market. i'll have a look for you.

Hi
Ive searched this forum from top to bottom and just cant find a right solution.
AdFree is not working fr me what so ever
Ive got ads in Angry Birds Scrabble and quite a lot of other apps
Ive tried Absolute system root
Ive tried some host files (with user R/W Group R Others R) but that did not help either, unless im doing something wrong
Can anyone help ??
Simple guide or even a link to it would do.
Thanks
PS> Sorry if its in the wrong section

Hi,
I think that the best way to stop the adds is manually disable the network before starting the game.
Usually the add-free apps don't work very hell, you try can search for another in the market.
Yeah but disabling data connection is not the point here.
There are games that require internet connection to play and yet have adds..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
From what I've been able to piece together from other threads (here or CM forums, I don't remember which) the source files that Adfree relies on have become much less useful lately. Some users seemed to have some luck manually putting-in an older version of the source files.
I have tried quite a bit of NZB Usenet applications for Android and have not been able to get them to work. I have followed a few tutorials and yet no luck.
Currently using NZBMonster (like the look)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/nzbmonster/org.nzbmonster
Would like to get some expert help with setting this up, I must be doing something wrong somewhere along the way. HELP!
Using the latest Sabnzbd on Windows 7. Not sure if it matters in setting these apps up but running Android 2.3.4 with the FI Gingerbread V3 ROM.
I think I have tried every NZB app on Android now. Still no luck.
BUMP? Anyone....help please!
Try nzbair. It has an easy setup via an online template and has always worked for me
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Well that tutorial for that app would be nice if they second step didn't tell me to input a static IP. I can't get one of those, nor do I want one. I have done many other app setups that needs to use my network and access my system and didn't need to do it.
Any other ideas. I do thank you for the idea though
I am new on xda-dev. I find it very difficult to use this website.
First there were a lot of issues related to registering and login and now after i can login there are so many other prob.
The text jumps and flickers like a monkey for ages, and the page continues to load.
It was even difficult to search for things on the forum or even start a new thread.
Every time i had to keep pressing the browser stop button to stop loading the page.
The image does not loads for image verification and so i can not post any message.
Just for your info i use No script in my browser but even if i allow scripts on this page still i face a lot of trouble.
First you do not let people register, then you do not let them login and then you do not let them search for solutions or start a new thread.
Dont we have a simple version of this site where i could focus just on exactly what i am here for.
I do not need so much of spoon feeding in the name of interactivity and user friendliness.
Please advise.

I can not even use it from my computer.
In some browsers it can not be opened at all.
Too irritating.
Takes ages to post one comment.
Switching over the forum style to classic solved a lot of problem.
But the Captcha image still takes ages to load.
I have to close and reopen the browser many times.
Search still creates a lot of problem.
.
The problem is not why there is Captcha but why is it not opening easily.
Anyway for your info. after a new member posts 10 replies he does not gets captcha
I just wanted suggestion regarding what should be done to be able to easy communicate on this forum. Thanx all of you.
Every time i try to start a new thread, i have to write the title. The system is supposed to search for similar threads. BUT as soon as i do so the entire page refreshes and then there is nothing there on the screen. I have to keep doing that again and again. What a foolish way of making a website. I do not need so much of spoon feeding. Dont we have a simpler interface ?
What you describe never happened to me, even when I was new.
I think you need to focus on troubleshooting your computer/browser instead of complaining about the xda website.

What browsers are you using because I use it with Firefox and Opera without problem on my computer and have even browsed with my phones default browser without issue and am now using the xda app an I have less then 10 posts do you have cookies allowed or JavaScript enabled on your web browsers? That may or may not help

I have tried, Firefox, Midori and Konquror on two different OS, Ubuntu and Mint but every where I faced some problem or the other. As i mentioned earlier, after i changed the website interface to 'classic' the problem reduced but did not end. Now mainly have problem with Capcha not loading at times or with the auto search of the title of a new thread. I feel the site is made more pro-mobile than for computer use. If some one has not faced these problems at any time does not means that there is somthing wrong with my system. The first time when I registered on this forum the entire page was simply flickering every moment, it would have been worth making a video of that I have been using dozens of forums but never had any trouble of this kind. I feel the system could have been made simpler.
With all the people who blatantly ignore the rules and requests, I don't think a ten post limit with CAPTCHA is all that unreasonable.
I like Linux a lot, but I don't think it's out of line to suggest the trouble lies in browser or OS support especially since Linux tends to be more persnickety than Windows due to market share and development, no matter where you want to place the blame for that.
If someone is having these problems outside of Linux, details would help narrow it down.
At any rate, it's not the forum's requests that are at fault, but the integration with something or lack of support.

Seems you did not even understand the question. The question is not WHY there is captcha but why it is creating trouble loading. And if it is bcoz of linux then it is strange as captcha is used in many other websites and no where i face any problem. Moreover there are others too who have faced other problems here. And i am not just facing captcha prob there are a host of other prob that makes using the website very difficult. Also how is it that there is problem some times and not there on other ocations ? If it was due to linux it would have been there always ! I would also like to remind you that Android is also built on Linux kernel. And any website that is highly OS specific is not a well planned website. Anyway it was just a feedback to help the site owners improve it "IF" they wish to. If they dont i can always find my way out
Thanx all of you for your help.
