[Q] How to make apps?? - General Questions and Answers

I want to start making apps and maybe push them to the market. I dont know where to begin. I understand rooting a phone and pushing a Rom to it but I just dont understand how to make apps or where to start at can anyone please help me understand and learn.
Thanks

Hackaday has a tutorial on how to make android apps, it goes through setting up the environment as well as getting you into the java programming. By the way there's a $25 fee to be able to publish apps to the android market, it's one-time-only but it's there.

Ok great thank you

Usenet Setup On Android

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

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

Asking guidance to make an app from scratch -will donate

I want to make an Android App and publish it to the market.
The project is very simple but since I've never made an app from scratch I am asking for tutorial/guidance from any experienced developer who has already published an app to the android market.
Of course I am willing to make a donation for your time and help
Anybody wants to please help me out ??
anybody with some experience?
"up"
PS: The app I want to create is very simple
Hey this is gonna be an annoying answer but try to google it. I'm sure you will get a bunch of links.
Good luck

I know, I've been reading a lot
I just want some guidance, someone to ask in case of need
Maybe I just need to get rid of my fears and go on and publish it anyway
I have no experience whatsoever but the best I can offer is try with something extremely simple, maybe like a NotePad or something similar
It might help if you explain what you want your app to do.

Have you tried reading through a decent android book? They generally walk you through making a basic app.
http://commonsware.com/Android/
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Android-Games-Mario-Zechner/dp/1430230428/
Neither is a replacement for knowing Java fairly decent beforehand (which is kind of a requirement to creatively develop on android), but it will give you an idea of how an app works on android.
I would also reccomend checking out youtube or google videos in general for app walkthroughs.
Having someone screencast and walk you through making an app even as basic as notepad (if they're doing it awfully verbose and depending on how quickly you pick up on things) would still take some considerable hours.

Thank you for the links.
I know nothing about Java. Since the app inventor is dead, I was thinking of using some online app-making websites like buzztouch

[Q] cracked by ChelpuS

Hi guys, noob here. I have an awkard situation and dont know how to go about it. I keep getting a "cracked by ChelpuS" message on the bottom of my Tab (Samsung) constantly and i cant find a program running in the background that i dont know about that could cause this. Ive had superuser installed for quite a while and have never had this message before. Im starting to worry that i might have downloaded some type of spyware or that my phone is being monitored by this chelpus guy or his app. First time for me and dont know what to do.
Thnx in advance
ivput this in general hacking section since i dont know where to begin with this type of question. I have searched and have found no one with the same situation. Agian thnx in
advance.
chelpus is a hacker that hack paid apps from market and make it usable for free,maybe some of your apps are paid app that cracked by him

remove lucky patcher or do the hard reset for your tab
Or basically uninstall any app you have downloaded somewhere else than market.

It means you are running pirated software, potentially with malware.
You know some of us feed our families 99cents at a time right?

Relax. Before you try to make him feel guilty, he may not have known it was a paid app and just dl'd the apk. Maybe the app was incompatible or not showing in the market so he couldn't dl it legitimately.

lucky patcher, titanium backup activator, or even a hacked titanium backup that is a pro version is causing the prompt.
chelpus is a cracker from Russia, who cracks apps, and i dont think its a spyware,
if u r rooted, use rom toolbox to find startup apps, then dissable any market/3rd party apps from startup.
well, i am not 100%sure, but it may due to cracked tb.( tb usually runs in bootup, or else any activator like lucky patcher/ tb activator etc. they run in startup, jus uninstall or remove from startup. u will be ok.

Help.

Ok, I'm a beginner at developing. I have no clue what to do. O have adk and jdk and sdk.
I am making a launcher. What do i need and need to do. Step by step. Only button will be app drawer. The rest is home screen.

What experience do you have developing for android?
What programming experience do you have?
Have you done the hello world tutorial on the Android Developer site.
There really isn't a step by step way to code a launcher.
No xp ay all.

A launcher is not a simple thing to make. You need to start small and work your way up to things like that. Try something like a text editor as that will give you experience designing an interface, controls, reading and writing files, reading and writing data and more.
Like I said, start small and work your way up. Someone posted earlier a link to 200 android development tutorials. Have a search for that. If I see it again I'll come back and post the link.
Edit: Here you go...

[Q] Locally-Stored Android App

I am new to the app scene. I was curious if there was a way to store apps locally, without the need of sales/Play Store/Amazon Store/etc.
I am just looking at storing it locally on a phone, or possibly a tablet, to show to potential clients. And also for portfolio purposes, down the road.
Again, I am a self-professed "noob", so all help is appreciated.
Thank you.

unless it is your personal app, you will need to get it from one of the stores at some point.
some apps can be downloaded by other means, but that is highly frowned upon, and against the rules to even discuss here (so please dont comment back on it).
if your device is rooted, you could use an app like titanium to make a backup of all the apps. then they would be saved locally, but i dont know how compatible that backup would be if you tried to restore it on other devices.
i would think if its a paid app, there is likely some entitlement verification coded into the app. so if it cant verify through one of the stores, it likely wont work properly if at all.
It would be apps that I build. So it would be for my own personal use. Like I said, it's to show potential clients. I would be using it to show how an app works, as a display to the client.
It will be my work. And it will be strictly for my clients.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

once you install an app on any device, from any source, you can use
1.apk extractor
2.es file explorer
to have the apk file, which can then be run on other devices as an installer.
or, you could dowbnload the apk straight from google play, search how with the search button.
Ok help me understand this.
It will be your app. One you make for your clients. which would mean your doing all the coding and building of the app, But you dont know how to store a simple apk on your device?

Yea, that was kind of confusing me too.
If you build the app, you can store and show it on any device its compatible.
I must be missing the issue here.

Yeah, like I said, I am completely new to this. I haven't even developed an app yet. I just wanted to visually, in my head, figure out how to display it to clients. I have clients. It's just a matter of developing apps, as far as coding.
I'm sorry if my questions are either dumb or easily answered. Thanks for all the help, though.
Regards.

OK man then you are getting way ahead of yourself. First your gonna need to learn a few programing languages. Like Java and C+. Hell I would even start by reading these forums for a while as you seem like you really have no idea what your getting into.
