Hi all,
Hopefully this is the right place for my question. I am new to programming for android and I am trying to find a copy of the source code for the google search widget or a way of unpacking the apk. I need this in order to see how some of the items in my first app will need to be written. I plan on building a more versatile search type widget.

Hey guys, I'm making myself an app where I can use the camera to look at a magic the gathering card, and it will tell me what the card is based on the name at the top.
I'm not asking on how to do it, but I'm trying to find another app's source code I can look at where I can learn from and see how it is implemented. Anyone think they could help me out a bit with that?
Thanks.
Hey guys,
I'm really new to this app development and would like to ask one of you experienced developers a question.
Basically I have recently been creating mobile websites from a set of css files which are just a basic template. The template files have individual files for some of the most common pages that a small business would need, google map, contact us with form, menu, opening hours and so on.
What happens is you simply upload the company logo and such into the images folder, update the css style sheet for colours, then simply edit one of the relevant pages e.g place the food items in the menu page.
When the whole set of files gets uploaded it creates a personalised functional business mobile website.
What I would like to know is, would it be possible to set something like this up for an android app? Whereby the user could simply change the details as above and then compile the apk file which will create the app?
Your input is much appreciated, also have any of you got any idea where I could get someone to code something like this?
Regards,
Stephen
Hello Everyone,
I am currently doing a project about making a To Do List App which has a reminder for example, like setting date/time for the specific task to make a reminder. If would be my pleasure, if anyone can help me provide the source code so that I can learn and make use inside my app.
Thank you.
Hi,
Here is one of many tutorials on creating apps on XDA,

For more, simply search the site on "app making guide tutorial".
Good luck!
I've looked around a few tutorials here and most of them are related to building a ROM from source code. I haven't yet found a tutorial that delves into modification of the source code. I'm not talking about changing the wallpaper, removing system apps and adding a few ringtones. Those are easily available. I am talking about changing default layouts or adding options to settings and customizing it to your own need.
I have looked through the source code, and the only ones I found that was easily modifiable are the strings.xml where I could change the messages and captions to my heart's content. Layout files are easy to edit as well, but the ones set programmatically are the problem. It is quite difficult to change them without understanding the dependency.
Is there any documentation or tutorial that explains and delineates the files in the source code and their dependencies? Also, an IDE for editing the source code would be really helpful.

I am what you call a beginner of what you had just said.First there isn't a "tutorial" of or for what you said The commits and changes are the tutorials.You can easily change the stuff you want using a theme engine and modifying the system settings apk to add options.And also the best ide is the android studio or Eclipse.Both work perfectly but I prefer eclipse Because I've been using it since I graduated.
for starters the system ui handles the layout.Settings apk carries the settings toggles.But considering this will make missing links you go to the source.There are a few articles on xda regarding this but they are ancient.

I'm currently developing an app for iOS and Android that include a function that show a map of the inside of a building and give you directions on how to get to a location inside the building. It's like a Google Map but for inside a building.
The problem for me is that I'm not sure on how to implement this. I tried this. I made de 3d model of the map in Blender and use it in Unity3d and there I created a script to find a path. All good so far. Then a wanted to export that project to Xamarin, so I can use it in the app, but I didn't find a way to do it, and now I don't know if it's possible, or if there is some other method to do it.
I was wondering if someone can help me with this on ideas, advice or just what you think about it.
PD: I know this isn't properly drafted, sorry for my bad english.
