Hello everyone! We have two Android applications published in the market. Both are fully functional, though fairly small. Neither are particularly beautiful, and we're looking to hire an Android user interface consultant on a short term basis to beautify them. We would give you access to our subversion repository, or send you a .zip file of the source code, and you would send us back any changes to layouts and/or Java code.
If interested, please email me at acunningham (at) integrics (dot) com with examples of your past work (screenshots preferred) and details of your hourly rate. I can then send you details of the apps and we can discuss timeframes.

I realize the laughs, smirks, and shuns that the title of this thread may cause.
However, as the founder and community manager for bnxtreme.com, please hear me out.
I am posting this to clear up/clarify some misunderstanding regarding Android on the Blackberry Playbook.
NOTE: This thread is NOT about rooting the Playbook or completely replacing the QNX OS with Android or dual-booting. I will be creating separate threads for those, and hopefully, with enough traction, it could develop into its own section.

After DevCon 2011 in October, RIM released their BETA OS2.0 for the playbook.
Included in this release were several new tools for the SDK/NDK, support for additional programming languages, and of course, the reason I'm posting here, a native Android 2.3.3 run-time. Now developers have both on and offline conversion tools to recompile almost any Android APK for use in the BlackBerry PlayBook in BAR format using only a few clicks as shown on the following page:
http s://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/tool/
Shortly thereafter, the various Blackberry forums throughout the web were abuzz about what could be done with this new BETA, how to get Android apps install, etc...
Within less than a day, the post appeared with very quick and simple directions for users to easily convert Android APK files to Playbook BAR files. Suddenly, the flood gates were now open and the list of applications being converted started to flood in, as did requests for those who 'got it' to do it for them. Less than 12 hours later, the list became too much for one person to manage alone, so a Google Doc was created based on a Google Form where visitors could submit their requests and updates. The list had taken on a life of it's own:
h ttp://bnxtreme.com/drupal/content/apk2bar-list
As you can see from this list, individual PlayBook users have been actively collaborating and converting various applications to demonstrate just how easy the process is. It is hoped that this list of converted applications will help encourage developers to re-release their respective application on the BlackBerry Playbook.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your application has been added to this list, it was done so because it was believed to be a free application on the Android Market, available as a free trial online, or offered for free through the Amazon Marketplace. If this is not the case, or for any reason you wish to have your application removed from the apk2bar list, please e-mail us at [email protected] and we will have your application permanently removed.

Now, within the last few weeks, ported Android applications have already started to appear in the Blackberry AppWorld, being made available to anyone running the OS2.0 BETA

The purpose for this post is to call upon Android developers to start porting their applications and submitting them to the Blackberry AppWorld. Again, the process is extremely simple and will open your applications up to a whole new audience.
Additionally, I am also posting to offer our services. Our team is both willing to help test any early BETA builds or to continue any abandoned development projects on their port to the BlackBerry PlayBook operating system; all you have to do is ask.
For more information on how easy it is to develop your existing application for the Blackberry PlayBook, please visit:

Why can't it be the other way? Blackberry Apps to Android? That seems to be better
What is Kaqaz?
Kaqaz is a modern note manager published by Sialan Lab.
It's using C++, Qt5 framework and Qml technology. It's open source and released under the GPLv3 License.
Kaqaz designed for tablets and large phones (>5 inch). But it works on other devices.
This is important for us to know your feedbacks. If it's good or not good, please tell us why?
The focus of Kaqaz is on a better user interface so that the user can feel a different experience with it. Kaqaz has tried to provide faster access bars and present a convenient interface for the users to have an enjoyable time while working on it. Kaqaz is a free and open source software written under GPLv3 license.
Note: To synchronize your notes with your other devices such as your laptop, you can download the desktop version. This application supports Windows, Linux, Mac and Android at the moment. iOS , ubuntu touch and Windows phone versions of this application will be published soon.
Kaqaz Theory
Kaqaz is not just an application. It is more like a theory; a theory on which much time has been spent in Sialan Lab to be designed and implemented.
Theory of Kaqaz states that imagine you have a lot of blank papers before you. You can write anything on them you would like without any concerns about how it is going to be kept or what will happen to them. You stick a label on them and then attach as many files as you’d like to them.
Do not worry about where or how it is going to be put and kept and clear your mind from all such concerns. Turn over the present paper and go to next one and only think about writing. Write on and on and fill in thousands of papers with a distress-free mind. A thousand is a small number for Kaqaz.
During all this time Kaqaz saves and keeps all your writings in its storage (cache).
Say goodbye to crowded lists of hundreds of writings. You can read and edit your writings whenever you want. Just ask Kaqaz what you want.
If you are looking for a specific word, say it to Kaqaz via the search tool. If you are looking for a specific label, choose the label from the sidebar and if you are looking for some writings modified on a specific date, type the date on the history tool.
Surely many more new, smart and advanced tools will be published for expressing your demands to Kaqaz. But for now we are at the beginning and only these tools are presented.
Kaqaz tries to sugar-coat writing for you through its simple theory and simplicity of user interface. It tries to make you concentrate only on writing so as to motivate you to write more.
The goal of Kaqaz is to inspire people to write diaries, short stories, daily notes, purchase lists, information, etc. as easily and best as possible and more importantly to enjoy writing.
Kaqaz attempts to support the habit of writing and motivate the users to write in today’s mechanized world.
We hope to develop and strengthen the theory of Kaqaz by relying on your support in order to satisfy you even more, leading to a development in the field of Note Manager Applications.
Features:
Notes management by means of labels and categories
Sorting notes by day
A user-interface different from other applications
Advance and Smart searching in notes
To-Do papers
Backing up notes
Encrypted synchronization via Dropbox among all your devices
Supporting left-to-right and right-to-left languages
Sharing papers with other applications
Assigning password for protecting notes
Attach map and weather to note informations automatically
Attaching photos, audio files and folders to any note
Search on papers by location
Capability of running and sync data on all operating systems (Android, Windows, Linux, Mac and soon other operating systems)
Kaqaz is a free software.
You can find kaqaz source code on Github
I appologize if this is a dumb question, but I am new to app development, altough some experienced in php/html.
I want to create an app where user fills in forms. The app development is easy to find info about, but i also want a back end plattform where I read the submitted forms and organize users.
So, my question. Is there a sort of ready wordpress like plattform to customize, or should this be built from scratch? If so, which platform is the best?
One note I should add about Buddy (full disclosure: I work there) is that we maintain independent instances of the platform in different locations around the world. If you need to host your backend in Europe (for response time or data sovereignty reasons, for example), you can choose your app backend to be sandboxed in the EU. Likewise the US and likewise China (with Brazil, Singapore and Australia coming soon).
he best way to develop mobile apps is to use REST services. So now you can choose any thing.
Any language that can used for server side programming can be used.
Now it is up to you choose the language.
If you familiar with JavaScript then you can try nodejs. You can make small app server in it.
But if your server software design is very complex (containing threads and synchronisation) then java can be handy.
But there is no restriction of language.
Firebase should be also a way to go for this.
The best android back end services include, Parse, Kumulos, Kinvey, backendless, QuickBlox.
Concerning the forms where users can fill up information, would something like help out?

On Apple's platform you might need an iPhone developer - it is quite possible to create and publish an iPhone app using your form.
I did take the help of mobile apps development service in toronto to know the process which is described here: http://support.brightcove.com/en/app-cloud/docs/step-step-guide-publishing-apple-app-store-using-mac
Thanks Carol for sharing such a wonderful article.

I have heard good things about Hasura (Not affiliated in anyway). And I think parse - mentioned above - is no longer available.
I'm wondering why nobody mentioned Google CLoud or AWS. They are most mobile friendly for a good price
Hi, if you will decide to build from scratch, there are different options/frameworks. But If you use kotlin you should look to Ktor.
Backend options for an Android app
Here, The list of good backend options for an Android app:
1. Parse.
2. Back4app.
3. Firebase.
4. Kinvey.
5. Appcelerator.
In developing countries one of the main problems aspiring web developers might face is the high cost of purchasing a laptop and getting a stable internet connection also in developed countries, lack of cell signals in the subway can pose a problem when you want to quickly edit a website(as a freelancer) as most website builders are online (wix, boomer, wordpress etc).
With OVO Web this can now be done offline and in the palm of your hands. This app attempts to edit website templates in a process I call "touch and edit" where HTML elements are clicked (on the rendered template) and their css properties/HTML contents are edited. Edited template can be published to local drive folder, ftp server or github pages .The app also comes bundled with free responsive template to get you started.
Do share your thoughts, complaints, bugs, and ways to make the app better

Thanks MrRiko, we are a team of android developers, currently focused on improving the app(fixing bugs) and adding more features so we can't give SEO tips. If you however wanna convert your website to an android native mobile app then we can help you
True GlenCurtis, that is why we wanna make it simpler with this app, it may not be perfect but we are getting there
