[Q] App Dev - How to pin capability within code? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i am new to app development and my google searches have been fruitless, unfortunately...
how can i add pinning capability into my application?
i know i can just press and hold app on start menu to pin to start screen, but would like to have app installed in settings, therefore that wouldn't be possible. i have seen this pinning capability in other apps, so i know it is possible, just unsure how to implement.
regards,

Passcode protect apps

I have been searching for a way to passcode/password protect apps on my Nexus One since I got it. Is there a way to restrict access to apps such as SMS, Gmail or email? I have this on my iphone but have yet to see this for the N1.
Another thought: Is there a way to create a folder and password protect the folder?
Just enable the pattern locking in the security settings. Android does not permit a numeric passcode, but instead relies on a drawn pattern. However, it limits access to the entire system. You cannot limit access to specific apps.
This is the one and only feature i do miss by Windows.
This android app offers (basic) support for such things:

You can individually PIN code each app. of your choice.
ok thanks..i downloaded filemagic but how do i install?
Its not filemagic, its Tasker. AFAIK since its still in beta, the author puts the download link until there is some bug found. So you would need to follow the site. Here it describes how to do what you want in Tasker:

EDIT:
Oh I found a link, you can download it here:

+1 to protector, its a great app

[APP][2.2+] Quick Keyboard Switch - The most efficient way to toggle keyboards!

When SwiftKey Flow's first beta came out, I discovered that SwiftKey did not leverage the existing dictionary and predictions which I'd spent months teaching SwiftKey 3.
This posed a problem to me, as it reduced my typing speed a lot, and made it difficult to efficiently talk to many people at once. To fix this problem, I created a simple app that allowed me to change keyboards much faster than manually going into settings and doing it. I then uploaded the app to Google Play, in the hope that it will help others.
Now with the coming of so many keyboards that people are trying out and using (Kii, SwiftKey Flow, SwiftKey, Skype, Thumb just to name a few), I thought I'd make a thread here as well to share that app and take suggestions.
The app is free, with just one advertisement in the settings screen (which isn't as bad as it sounds, as you can get away with visiting the settings screen just once for the entire time you use the app).
Update #1:
I've added Danish and Chinese Translations to the app
There is now an option to start at boot
FAQ
Q: Why can't the app switch keyboards automatically, instead of showing a dialog with a list?
A: The Android SDK does not allow third party apps to change the selected keyboard without user intervention, as this could result in a malicious app replacing your keyboard with its own (and perhaps log everything you type with it) without your permission. This would be a serious security problem, and is hence not allowed.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there anything I miss ? what is the different between this app in the notification bar then the Android's system "Choose input method" ?
When my I am in input mode, the "Choose input method" becomes available in the notification area. I click it and a list of keyboard appears which is the same as this app ?
Like you said in FAQ... if it can switch between two pre defined keyboard.. that would be great.. instead of looking at the list and involve more steps before it can switch KB quickly..

[Q]Is this possible? App To Floating app?

I know you may think "Asked before, we can make floating apps via injecting code to the app....".
Well It's hard for people to do that just for a floating app.
I was wondering if it is possible to make an app that injects that code into the app you select.
Thanks in advance!

[APP] Tasker app - S Planner entry type Event --> type Task

Hello everybody!
I am new to XDA Developers and to the Android Tasker app and I need some guidance, please.
I would like to know how I could use the Tasker application to automatically change the type of an S Planner entry from Event to Task, after I click on the "+" button for adding a new entry. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone with Android 5.0.
I tried different settings, and also downloading the AutoInput app, activated the accessibility feature, but I haven't managed to get it working - I just don't know how to tackle this.
Thank you in advance!
P.S.: I see that I cannot post outside links so I cannot post links to the Tasker app and an image of the select list in question, unfortunately.
