I have an idea to pitch for an Android app.
I am an electrical engineer in profession lacking the ability to write and implement an idea into the Android OS.
Where can I find a software engineer/coder for my purposes?
I would also like to know about any websites which tell you if this app has already been developed.

Is anyone familiar with the SmartTime app for iPhone? http://leftcoastlogic.com/smarttime/
I know that they don't make an actual app for Android, but does anyone know of an Android product that does the same thing? I'm mostly looking for the advanced scheduling aspect.
Hi all,
I want to start android application development. Can you suggest a low budget way of doing that?
Can any android supported cell phone can be used for App development or there are some restrictions in phones for Development? If yes, then i can buy any low series basic used android phone and do App development.
Do i need to root and ROM access any phone to develop, load and test application?
Where can i find Android application framework architecture and basics of application development documents/ articles? I know developer.android.com has it but it is not starting from broader level to micro level. It is just talking about specific issues and directly starting Hello World. But i want to study about android architecture and fundamentals before starting.
Thanks.
The android SDK comes with an emulator, so that will help on the phone aspect. You definitely want to be able to enable sideloading of apps (install non-market apps), I've heard some carriers disable this. Root can be helpful in many situations.
Assuming you know java and are familiar with Eclipse, you mainly need to learn about the Android API.
Hello,
First off, apologies if I have posted this in the incorrect forum.
The company I work for is looking to update one of it's product lines and has been toying with the idea of using Android as a development platform. Up until now the philosophy has always been to develop simple, bespoke embedded software that provides only the functionality that is needed at the time. The device itself will be a medical device, and as such will have no telephony requirements (and associated things like contacts, calander and the large majority of the pre-installed Android apps).
I have read, and understand it is possible to re-compile Android from source and remove all of these non-required functionality. My question is really if that is worth doing? i.e. stripping out all un-needed applications that get build into a stock ROM. Or would it be a more efficient to use some form of OTS embedded Linux platform?
Something in Android 4.0 that does seem to be useful is the support for Bluetooth HDP.
Kind Regards,
Simon
Well there are other devices that aren't phones that use Android. Take the motoactv for example. It's a fitness watch that runs a stripped version of Android, but it's still Android and applications can still be programmed and installed to it.
May be a dumd question, but I'm asking anyway. Why is Android so hardware specific?. or better yet, why can't you install any android system on any phone?
example: you can install windows or linux on any system, you don't have to have a certain set of chips. Is it a propitiatory type thing with these phone makers. is the whole android system so small, that the coding can't be added to make it installable on any phone.
I'm not a coder, or prgrammer, I do understand it enough to read what it is doing, but cannot write anything. Can someone shed some light on this
Thanks in advance
You've got this completely bass ackwards. Android is decidedly not hardware specific. Phones, tablets, computers, car stereos, home heating/AC, watches, TVs, etc. Android is open source, which means anybody can develop it to work on just about any platform they wish. I mean, you can get refrigerators and microwaves that run Android for Pete's sake.
If you're complaining that you can't get Android on an iPhone or a Nokia Lumia, then you're barking up the wrong tree.
To add some more "devices" to the list above on which android can be installed - cars! I'm working in that industry now
And the answer above is right - if your device is totally closed for others, then you will not be able to install anything on it, maybe, without really breaking into it. Android can be put mostly on any hardware - if the hardware manufacturer wants it. The short description is - Android is implemented on top of HALs (Hardware Abstraction Layer) which are then implemented by manufacturers specific to their devices and then Android works "out of the box".
Dear Folks,
I am trying to pentest in my Android device in order to dive into depth of Operating System in order to analyze services. This is for to make sure whether there is any malicious app having access to microphone, camera and other services in my phone. Do you know what is the best way to do that? Can anyone show me an exact guide to it? Or, anyone who knows other methods to detect malicious apps in Android?

A detection method for android application security based on TF-IDF and machine learning
Android is the most widely used mobile operating system (OS). A large number of third-party Android application (app) markets have emerged. The absence of third-party market regulation has prompted research institutions to propose different malware detection techniques. However, due to...
