Hello everyone!
I recently got myself an Android phone and decided to dive into development. This app is what I came up with after a few days of work. It's very rough, but it appears to work.
The app lets you browse through a database of other peoples' quizzes and challenge yourself with them. If you get tired of answering trivia questions, you can make your own and upload them for others to try.
Obviously this is nowhere near finished. There are still a bunch of features I have to add (like being able to edit your quizzes once uploaded, heh) and heaps of polishing to be done. In the meantime, I would really appreciate any feedback I can get .
A couple of notes for anyone who's brave enough to give it a whirl: it currently requires Android 2.1+, to be able to upload a quiz you must have registered and/or logged in before going into the create quiz section, and there are no actual quizzes in the database at the time of this post (except for a test one) so whoever goes first, please be creative .

Hello everyone,
I released my first Android game a week ago - Connect Five. I've always been an aspiring programmer (still only 17 and I'm propably going to study it). It's a simple Gomoku game - nothing too fancy, I made it because I wanted to learn the ins and outs of Android. It's free and it's fun to play with a friend if you're in a queue and have a couple of minutes.
I've released three updates since then (mostly bug fixes but some features were improved aswell). If anything is wrong then please reply and I'd like to hear everyone's general opinion about it so I have some things to keep in mind (design flaws and so on) for my next project.
Just search the market for Connect Five (since I'm a new user, I can't post a link to the qr code or screenshots, sorry).
Hope you like it
That's a good start! Keep it up, I wish I had applied my programming knowledge at that age... now I've forgotten it all..
Hi
A bit about me:
I've just started uni to do software engineering and after the first week of "bonding" and stuff, we've been put into groups of 6 to develop an android app and market it. We're students of the Preston campus of the university of central Lancashire aged 18. My group has next to no programming experience, with only me having done anything before although it's mostly been python, I also did some C++.
I've been on XDA for a few years, since I got my first android (a HTC Desire HD, now on a galaxy note) and have mostly been a lurker, not really saying a huge amount because I don't want to get in the way of developers and annoy people, but also because I don't know a huge amount about android, although I have provided some logcats and advice where I knew the answer and could help. I often also use alpha or beta releases as a daily driver as I just text a little and love fiddling with the android operating system.
Our task:
Our first task as a group is to create a android based quiz-type app that will eventually double up as a GPS located treasure hunt app. We have to build this in appinventor as few of us know a programming language and it's a good introduction in how a program is built up and the logic behind it. The app is built up over a few weeks, as we learn how to do different things. It starts as a quiz app with hard coded questions, then we have to develop it into a quiz app that uses a server to get questions and finally into a treasure hunt that uses GPS locations and questions to lead us around the city of Preston to get points.
All throughout the 4 weeks we have to do it, we gain points which transfer into the grade we will get for this module of the course.
The catch:
During these 4 weeks, we have to market our app and our brand, to try "sell" our app and get it out there. As I'm the programmer of the group, mainly building the app, I'm not so involved in this process but I thought I'd ask on here for feedback and to ask you to help us out.
What I'm asking:
So, please will you go follow us on twitter and retweet us, spread the word on facebook about us and our app and (when it finally gets put up) view our "viral" YouTube video.
Go to our website if you want to download our app and have a look, any feedback would be fantastic, thanks. It won't be up for a few days, but if you can please follow us on twitter and facebook for now and when it's uploaded we'll update everyone.

Hey Guys,
We're a new startup - WriggleApps.com - and we're getting ready to release our very first app... "What's This?"
We've tried to take the usefulness of photo sharing and combine it with the popularity of social turn-based games. The idea is simple: take photos, edit them using fun filters (such as blur, spin, pixellate etc.) and send them to a friend to guess "What's This?". You can earn coins by guessing photos correctly and use these coins to unlock new camera effects in the game.
We're hoping that this app will appeal to existing mobile photography fans and gamers, but we also believe that it might open up photo sharing to a younger audience who are looking for something a bit more fun.
Anyway, description finished. We're weeks away from launch on Android and are really looking to get some people playing now so we can receive feedback. We'd appreciate any help you can give! If you're interested and want to get your hands on a free copy before everyone else, sign up here: WhatsThisGame.com and we'll send you a copy.
Stay cool!
Ross & Ed, Wriggle
Hello XDA Community!
As this is my first post here - first, some information about me.
My name is Tomasz (Tom / Thomas). I am a programmer in medium-sized company located in Torun, Poland. I've started my adventure with Android few months ago, when I have bought my first smartphone with green robot OS.
I wanted to introduce to all of you my first Android game - Color Mania. The rules of this game are quite simple: you have to click on the brighter shade of the same color. Everytime you choose correct, you gain some additional time. Every fifty correct choices you gain another extra time but you have to be careful - one mistake and game is over.
From the technical side - it is an effect of my four hours work with LibGDX and still needs some work. All graphics was made by me with Inkscape. It is inspired by two, currently popular games - Flappy Bird and Timberman. Something like "Hello World".
As I am used to iteration-based work, I wanted to publish this game as soon as possible, counting on some feedback from users. I hope that, you - as more experiences Android programmers will write some advices, tips (maybe about app promotion or UX?).
I have no right to post outside URL-s, so you have to remove all spaces from below link and add 'h' letter to the prefix. Sorry!
Google Play store: ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.to_dev.color_mania.android
Screens are available at the Google Play store (and project site to which link you can find at Google Play).
Please, do not hesitate to comment, rate and post advices!
Thank in advance,
Tommus
Good idea but it's not very addictive... It's just plain and quite frankly... Boring and I'd advise you to find a better name since there are popular apps with the same name
New to the forums (and to Android for the most part) with my first non-classmade app. I made a soundboard for the game The Last of Us. Trying to get some android exposure for resume building and to continue development for apps. Link for the app. You can just search for southardsoftware to find the app (it won't let me post yet). Sorry I am a complete newb to the forum here.
What it does - pretty obvious for the most part - a user can set a ringtone, notification, or alarm to the various quotes from the game I included in the app, or just play them. I did it as a project inbetween classes to learn more about android, and pay homage to one of my favorite video games of all time. Please feel free to let me know what you think!
