Microsoft on{x} help, recipes & discussion - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

This thread is a place to discuss the new Microsoft on{x} app. Main goal is to share recipes and help each other learn how to use and create scripts.
Microsoft has released a new app for Android (only) that allows us to set triggers to initiate actions. The app seems very similar to Tasker (http://goo.gl/38haC), which has been around for a while, but takes a different approach.
On{x} utilizes Java scripts to control your device and trigger actions based on a wide variety of variables, including time, location, movement/speed, weather conditions, and much more. The app requires you to use your Facebook login, but has only 1 allowance which can be changed to private. Looks like a great tool that has pretty endless possibilities, let's see what we can do!
Resources:
Play Store App Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.onx.app
On{x} Homepage (create recipes, documentation & more): https://www.onx.ms/#!landingPage
How on{x} works (video):http://youtu.be/qfLMTsIJsoo
Let's get started coming up with some cool & useful recipes. Hopefully we can get a good balance of people who understand Java to help others learn to create their own recipes, and maybe even start taking requests and having them created.
I'll keep this post updated with helpful tips as we go.
Thanks everyone! Looking forward to what we can put together.
BTW, we all understand the facebook login thing is not ideal. Let's keep discussion here related to the app itself and actually using it. If you don't use it, please don't bother posting that you refuse to use it because of Microsoft choosing facebook login. We get it
Thread Updates
- Attached on{x} apk to this thread for direct download
- Posted the first script from a contributor to this thread. Post #2 will list details & scripts that we come up with here.

Codes developed in this thread:
Launch app on power disconnect
This script launches an app when you disconnect your phone from AC/power. Currently, this is set to launch a dutch weather app (Weer). To modify, simply change the word "Weer" to the name of the app you would like to launch. You can also change "Weather app started" to say whatever you like upon action.
Thanks to DJPBX for the script!
device.battery.on("stoppedCharging", function(){
var apps = device.applications;
apps.launch('Weer');
console.info('Weather app started');
});

One more for safe keeping...

Actually really like it i actually do not know any javascript, but i'm already writing some small rules; like launch the weather app when i disconnect my phone from the charger (i always charge overnight next to my bed), or launch Spotify on unlock.
I wanted to create a rule, where my phone would go silent when leaving my home wifi network, only there is no API yet for putting the phone silent
Also, i experience a much worse battery life. normally i unplug my phone on 6.35AM, and around 10 PM the battery is totally empty. now it already was empty on 3PM.
It has big potential, but it's API list and battery life really need to be made better

Good to know, I was wondering what effect this would have on battery. I wonder if it is trigger dependent or the general monitor service itself that's draining.

on{X} apk
I was wondering whether someone can upload the .APK of this app, because I'd like to try it on my device. Thanks.

Hmm i now only used a wifi recognition rule, but I think rules that use GPS will be real battery-eaters

I couldn't find it in the play store app, but used the website instead and it downloaded instantly (ICS)

Here ya go..I will update op with apk

Cheers for setting up this thread- on{x} looks like it could turn into something really interesting once they iron the kinks out and sort out activation sans Facebook!
I was wondering if anyone had any pointers (noob level I'm afraid) for adding a time condition to the recipes? I was hoping to modify one of the existing recipes so that it will remind me something when I pass a location while on the train- that bit is easy- but I only want it to work on the outward journey and not the way home.
Likewise the 'text someone when I leave work' rule could really use this functionality. It sort of falls down for anyone who has to pop out (i.e. for lunch)!

Wrap the entire rule in something like
Code:
if(time > START_TIME && time < END_TIME){
....
}
I just don't know the exact API call to get the current device time, and if it returns seconds-since-epoch or human-readable time. Hopefully that points ya in the right direction.

Would you mind sharing your launch weather app rule?

Microsoft + FaceBook + Android = DOES NOT COMPUTE!
Im sorry but Microsoft getting involved isnt a good thing! and using FB as the launcher , whats the reason for this? We all use Android which is Google which FB and Microsoft hate! Nothing can come of this , however because the Android community has so many talented devs ,once they copy this and use it for Android users ,it might be worth a look , not now, I dont use FB or twitter or any of those social media (advertising outlets)!

Here you go. Change 'weer' in apps.launch('...'); to the name of your weather app.
Now you know what the dutch word for Weather is too

sorry about this. subscribing to this thread. will post scripts later.

Any good scripts you can share with us?
I'm still learning some of the coding to put together some good scripts, have to go back to my high school programming days to remember!

Would be very intrested in those recipies! My javascript knowledge isnt that awsome :\ working on it though!

I created a rule for my personal usage, not too complex, as I don't know fairly anything about JS but here it is in the case someone finds it useful. It starts an app (in my case a weather app called Weatherwise) the first time the phone gets unlocked after 10:00 AM. It's easy to change the app or trigger time to fit your wishes.
Code:
//Variables
var time = "10:00 AM";
var app = 'Weatherwise';
device.screen.on("unlock", function(){
var lastDateScreenUnlocked = device.localStorage.getItem('lastDateScreenUnlocked');
var today = new Date().toDateString();
var dailyTime = new Date(today + ' ' + time);
var now = new Date();
var apps = device.applications;
if (now > dailyTime) {
// if it is the first time the device was unlocked today
if (!lastDateScreenUnlocked || lastDateScreenUnlocked !== today) {
apps.launch(app);
console.info(app + 'started');
device.localStorage.setItem('lastDateScreenUnlocked', today); // update the last time the screen was unlocked
}
}
});
The app and time can be changed in the first two lines of codes, changing the content after "var time" and "var app".
Hope someone finds it useful.

Same on my HTC One S.. Just the white screen, and then it crashes..
Thank you for your feedback. I don't have any problems on my 4.1 Galaxy Nexus.
The good news: I also have that issue when running the app in an 4.0.x emulator
The bad news: I don't know, what's wrong there
I'll do some research on that and post here if I can adress the issue!

Thanks. Works fine now

I have a few requests for your app.
First, I want to edit something I have created. Errors happen, and have to write it again is tedious.
Second, a resume of how much you have. If you got 20 dollars, it would say a 20 down there. If you add a 5 dollars expense, it would show 15 down there.
Third, It would be nice if you could separate the incomes and expenses in categories created by user. For example, I have R$ 27,90 to spend on calls for carries except mine (for my carrier is free of charge). Then I could create a category called: Phone. I would set this 27,90 and, using the last mentioned feature, I would have a control of how much I still can call. Another category would be for SMS + Data usage. It costs for me R$ 0,50 for each day you use each, and I have a R$ 10 limit per month. Then I would have a third category. I would like to keep control on how much i spend at my school to eat.
I think it's pretty good, the explanation, but if you need something else tp understand, let me know.
What could be nice is a use of barcode scaner, you scan some product and you put a price, then every time you scan it, you will have an expense of it
I don't know if i have explained well ...
Another feature that could be great is to have diferents accounts One for register the bank movements and another to our home money xP

1. yes, definitely essential
2. I also had that idea, maybe the app can display a notification if you've exceeded your limit
3. I think this is very special...maybe later

1. sounds like an idea, but the problem is the information gathering, what you really paid for the product, because it won't be the same amount in every store, you know?
2. This is already a bit implemented, when adding an entry you can choose wether it's cash or credit card for example
Ok thanks, sounds great, hmm ohh but it can ask you if the prize is correct no? For example, you go to the shop, for buy, the first time you scan everithin you buy with the prize and the next time you go, if you scan the chips, the cocacola..., the app suggest you to put it as expenses
Like if the app reemember recurring expenditures from the past
I just re-downloaded it, and it looks great. I love the style and how it feels, but I do have some suggestions for you, if you get to develop it more.
1) Have accounts - I would love to be able to put my different bank accounts, gift cards, etc. on this, and track how much money I have left in each. Make it so I can put a starting amount on each account, and then subtract from there. Also to make special note of: transferring money between accounts. This was something I ran into with my project a while back.
2) Receipts - It has always been a goal of mine to be a better record keeper. As such, I would love to be able to take pictures of receipts and either upload them to a service for cloud storage or have them linked to from my SD card. This way I can back them up to my computer at home every once in a while and make sure I have everything when tax time comes.
3) While I'm at it, making it so that two users can share the same account... that would be amazing. Joint checking accounts are awesome for couples, but not if they don't both know what's going on.
4) Backups - I don't want to college months of data simply to have it wiped out if my phone goes south. Allow me to backup to my SD card, or, better yet, sending the data in an email so it can be backed up on any computer I have access from.
5) Statistics - We can track our money, and where it goes, but unless we can analyze our spending patterns, we can't see where we need to go in the future. Having graphs and charts would make this really nice to have. You already have the categories all set up, so getting the statistics (and statistics per account) setup shouldn't be too much more.
I have been trying to develop a reliable solution like this using PHP, MySQL, and jQuery for about a year now. The sad part is that I can't interact with the phone's camera like I want to, to allow me to capture receipts. I guess what I'm saying is, I'd love to help you out on the back-end stuff if you ever need it. I'd love to get this kind of project up and running, as I think it can help a lot of people in a lot of ways. Oh, and have you thought about uploading this to Google Play? Are there any limitations holding you back from doing that? I admire what you're doing, and think it's great that you are putting your talents to such a great use. We all need to be more financially savvy, and this is a great tool to help that.
Thank you for your hard work.

Hi m.ark,
thank you for your nice feedback!
Except your thrid point I think everything would be implementable - I also updated the "features-to-come" in first post (thanks to all the others for the great ideas!!)
Your third point is very hard to implement, but I keep an eye on that topic!
A vision is, that one is able to completely manage that stuff via a web interface, if the data is uploaded to google drive for example. Maybe in a late state we can think about collaborating on this thing?!
Regarding the Google Play thing: At the moment I'm not willing to spend the 20$ for the developer license if the app has not even a minimum of possible features implemented - a long-term-goal is definitely publishing this app to Play Store.
BETA 3
Just released and uploaded BETA3 - check the changelog and have fun
Beta 3 looks good, and runs smooth. I love the backup and restore option. It will be a real saver.
One thing I noticed: if you are at the home page, the only drop down from the menu is for backup and restore, but if you are in the backup and restore tool, the drop down menu lists only "Settings" but doesn't do anything. Just a small bug. Maybe have it go back home since there's no way to do that right now other than hitting back?
Once again, thank you for the awesome app. Keep us up to date on how you're doing, it'd be fun to see the progress you're making. Don't make it a chore, though, that's for sure.
How do you change the currency for this?

[Free]CardCloud Flashcards Study App

Hi, I recently took an Android Development at my school where I made this Flashcards Study App.
There's still a lot of work I want to complete before I call it finished, but it's a good start I think. I still want to add more quizlet functionality to it (since quizlet.com doesn't seem to have an android app yet.)
Download the App!
Some features:
* Offline Mode to study on the go without an internet connection.
* Adjust card flip speeds in the settings menu
* Long press on a deck to view options
* Shuffle your flashcards
* Search Quizlet to access millions of flashcard sets.
* Edit, Delete, and Create new flashcards with a breeze
* Text-to-speech integration
* Multi-language support
* Identify your strengths and weaknesses by keeping track of how well you know a card.
* Reverse Question and Answer sides on cards
* Improved UI
EDIT:
I attached an apk that you guys can use since I can't seem to post a link to the play store.
Or alternatively, You can search for "CardCloud FlashCards" in the play store to get the official app.
I'd recommend it since I'm planning on pushing a lot of new features in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks!

Hey. Sorry. It doesn't seem to let me post links since I'm a new member.
Here's an uploaded APK file you can use in the meantime
Or you can search for "CardCloud Flashcards" in the play store if you want the official version.
Thanks for trying it out!
Definitely let me know if you run into any problems.
So far nice ui
Works good. Is it possible to share own decks with friends? It would be amazing, also an option for read only and read write permissions for shared decks.

Thanks for the compliments!
Sharing is definitely a feature i'm going to be adding in the feature. Right now i'm torn between integrating some sort of facebook social network to allow for easier sharing. I've been busy trying to learn Ruby on Rails Development and Android Dev at the same time, so the cardcloud website is a bit lacking at the moment. But Sharing is definitely a big feature I want to implement.
Currently I'm in the middle of adding an ability for users to mark each card as easy/hard and then creating an infinite shuffle that will have a smart algorithm to show difficult cards more often.
That should be about two weeks out, and then I'll start working on the Deck sharing.
Great suggestion on the Read/Write permissions too! I think that would be an awesome feature, I've written it down on my notepad, so definitely stay tuned to this thread for any updates I make!
Thanks for trying out my app!
Redesign Icon
Hey buddy I think this app is great for studying and for group activities. Love what you have done. I also like the UI I made this icon for you just cuz i like messing around with Photoshop haha hope you like it
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvTWhEWnlrbFBna2M
Full icon without background or text: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvOEV2U1FEWkVfWXM
Hi. Great app. Is it possible to manually edit or create a set on a PC and transfer / open / import into the application?
A quick way of implementing this might be to add CSV or XML export and import?
Perhaps a link up to Google docs for cloud storage and on line editing?
Also, would you consider the addition of images on the flip cards? Perhaps a HTML format would make this easy to implement? A picture paints a thousand words and all...
Keep up the good work and I hope its a great success.
Steve.
**************************** [Edit] ****************************
Opening a quizlet with images renders nothing visible on the card
Steps to reproduce...
1. Search 2010 Honda Cars
2. Select any of the results
3. See the text (e.g. "2010 Honda civic") but on clicking the card to see the flip side - there is nothing.
Here is what is should look like... http://quizlet.com/1935486/2010-honda-cars-flash-cards/

CardCloud - Flash Cards
CardCloud,
Great effort thus far ... you've added the ability to create card sets! This is HUGE.
Some tips I hope you're able to fix in the coming updates, please.
1. Settings - there should really only be on 'settings' button for the app (the vertical elipses button; top right/bottom right corners).
2. Logon - should be a little more clear "what" service the logon pertains to.
- I thought the ability to logon to Quizlet would work with this ?? I'm an Android newb and I've already realized things are "assumed/presumed" to be known to new users, which its not clear on many applications or the OS itself.
3. KEEP the "skip logon" this is critical and I've come across many notes type apps that I cannot even create a note when in the subway because they require a persistent internet connection = total pain in the ass and useless! You've got a good thing going with this "skip logon" ability please KEEP IT Much appreciated.

Thanks! I'm planning on adding that feature pretty soon. Right now I'm on the verge of adding support for marking cards as either correct or incorrect. Also I'm adding in an in-app purchase to remove ads. I've also been working on the website portion of my app (cardcloud.net) which will allow you to upload your local decks onto a website (once you create an account) once it's uploaded, you'll be able to export from the site.
That's still a work in progress, hopefully in a week or two, I'll have that ready for you.
In the meantime, you can expect an update for marking the correctness of each card in the next day or two!
Thanks for the compliments, and thanks for trying out my app!

Hey! Supa_Fly, thanks for the kind words.
I really like the idea of the skip button for logins. The reason the login is there is to allow users to sync their decks with the website portion of the app. (CardCloud.net) But I've been busy working on the app and haven't had a chance to get the webapplication completed yet. Hopefully in the next week or two You'll be able to backup your local decks/cards onto a website, where you can save them on a computer.
The settings functionality is a bit confusing, so I've done a bit of tinkering with it to make it more intuitive to use. Thanks for the suggestions though! I really appreciate the feedback.
In the meantime, I'm working on a v1.2 release which will allow users to mark cards as either correct/incorrect/half-correct/etc, to help with remembering your learning progression. Keep an eye out for that. Hopefully I'll be able to push that up to the google store by tomorrow. I'll also update this thread once that's complete!
Thanks again for trying my app!
Hey. Just uploaded an update to the current App on the Appstore.
Some New features:
* Identify your strengths and weaknesses by keeping track of how well you know a card. Mark a card as Correct/Incorrect/etc
* Reverse Question and Answer sides on cards
* Improved UI

Hi, my girlfriend wrote out 20 sets as study for her exam on Wednesday. Her phone updated your app and it seems her card sets have been deleted (or lost). :crying:
Is your new updated version deleting user inputted card sets?
I'd greatly appreciate a quick response if you have a way to retrieve them.
PS, where are the card sets saved? In files (what location in phone)? Perhaps we can retrieve them manually?
Thanks, Steve.
Hey sd00, I'm really really really sorry that happened.
I found a bug in my code that was clearing the sqlite DB on updates.
I fixed the bug, but unfortunately it looks like her cards have been wiped.
This is embarrassing, I'm a noob and didn't realize that would happen.
There's nothing I can do, but promise it won't happen again.
For what it's worth, If I sent you guys an ad free version of that app, would that help?
Again, I'm really sorry, let me know what I can do to try to make it better.
I'm working on the ability to create decks online and then sync them to your phone, so hopefully that'll make it easier in the future to recreate the decks.
(If you'd like, you can even send me the questions/answers and I'll type them back up for her myself.
if you pm me an email address, I can send you an apk for the free version too.
Again, I apologize for my noobness.
For such a new app - this was an unforeseen mistake by the developer. The fact that he's VERY apologetic and this app does offer some great features over the competition I'll still support this app!
As experience is gained and more testing directly by the developer we'll this app continually excel and grow in feature sets and less bugs. Not many people appreciate developers' hard work and even less developers are as humble as this one.

Hey Supa_Fly, thanks for the kind words and support! It's been a lot of fun working on this app and I've learned a lot from the experience. Hopefully as I improve, so will the app. Sorry again to sd00 for the bug. I spent a few days testing and retesting to make sure it wouldn't happen again before I pushed up the newest update this afternoon.
I've been working on the syncing functionality the last week or so and I got it finally working the way I wanted. Not 100% yet, but allowing users to create their decks online I think is a necessary feature, since writing out individual cards on a phone is a pain. I'd like to tweak it a bit to make syncs work faster/better, but I'm slightly limited by my web server since it's a bit slow. Hopefully if I can generate any revenue through the app, I'll be able to put it towards faster servers. I'll keep an eye on the bug log to make sure nothing goes awry though.
I've pushed the new features up onto CardCloud.net allowing users to login to their accounts and create their cards online. Also, I uploaded the app updates to the google play store so users should be able to get the updated app with fixed functionality. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up this time .
In the meantime, I have a couple new features in the pipes that I'm working on that I think should improve the app. Hopefully I'll be able to get these pushed out in the upcoming weeks:
- Image support for flashcards. Definitely a top priority feature, should have an update for this within the next few weeks.
- Rich Text Editing. Another top level feature I want for the app.
- Better Quizlet integration. Search for usernames, and returning public decks, recently studied, etc
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text. When I get new features implemented for this app, I will post them here.
Development stops?

[APP][4.0.3+] pypmin web monitor

Hey all,
pypmin is a web monitoring application for administrators, it helps you keep track of the availability and response time of your website applications on the go using your phones internet connection.
You simply build a list of websites and pypmin will poll them in the background. When a website is unreachable pypmin alerts you with the http status code, you can also opt in to receive alerts whenever the content of the website changes.
You can configure the poll interval, and also the threshold of consecutive failures before an alert is made, in order to account for occasional problems with your phones connectivity.
I made this app a few weeks ago as a private tool for monitoring the websites that I host, I figured it was ready to dish out to people. Please tell me what you think, if you end up using it and want new features then please let me know.
You can find the app at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creepy.pyp
Edit: New features including content change alerts have been added to version 1.0.6, there is now also a pro version with extras on the play store. Some advanced settings have been made pro exclusive, so if you rely on those settings you'll have to stick with 1.0.5, which will remain attached to this thread.
For those interested, I've added an APK file.
Has anyone had a chance to try this out? I'd be interested to know of any opinions/issues you've come across. So far I've only managed to test it on the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5 and Galaxy Note.

Will test a bit later today, could be very useful. Maybe add a feature that counts how many visitors / hits your page as had that day?

Funnily enough I'm actually in the process of making a version of this for myself. Stats such as visitor counts and server CPU and memory usage would have to come via the server itself, or an analytics platform, so to add this in I'd have to dish out some scripts and a tutorial for setting this up on your own server.
I'm definitely willing to do that as an open source project, since I'm making it anyway, but I'll want some time to finish it and test it thoroughly. If anyone else is interested in this then let me know which analytics platform you use, if any, and I'll see what I can do.

That won't be problem, for me at least. Will test if needed.
Thats come in Handy for System Admin because i'm also one...:highfive:
Thanks for making this app..:good:
Awesome little app :thumbup:
One suggestion, if the option of persistent mode was available I/we could set the polling time to hourly and we would be notified if issues occurred.

Would you be able to add a feature where it tells you if changes have been made/site was updated since the last poll?
For example, I randomly check http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC/ for new builds of firmware (DDWRT) for my router. This app is very light weight and it would be great if it would respond back and say "Hey, the site I've been randomly checking for you to make sure it's up has also been updated with new content."
This would be valuable to myself and I am willing to throw you 5 bucks if you can add it.
Thanks!
Very helpful, thx for this app.

I seriously like this idea, thanks for the suggestion! I'll try and get this done soon, it'll be part of the free app since it's a core feature.

For example, I am admin on 2 wordpress-homepages with low traffic hosted on cheap web-hotels. Those web-hotel-provideres run badly designed robots, that looks for suspicius code on all their sites, and changes my .htaccess if the robot thinks, it has found something (without warning me).
This feature could help find a changed .htaccess file faster than I can do it today.

I think this is a great idea.
Especially since its open source. Even if its noob friendly would be even better.

Awesome thanks, no rush
Adding an option to run nrpe/nagios checks remotely on Windows boxes would be most useful. I monitor with nagios, and use nrpe for all of windows vm's. Health, mem, cpu, etc. Open source so can likely make use of nrpe in this handy little app.

Hey all! I've just uploaded pypmin version 1.0.6 to this thread as well as the play store.
Version 1.0.6 has the following extras:
- Optional alerts for content changes (configured per website)
- Export your pyp items (for importing into the new pro version)
I have also released pypmin pro to the play store. It's a paid version that has a new benchmarking utility for testing the performance of your server. Some of the advanced settings in 1.0.5 have been made exclusive to the pro version, so if you rely on those settings you might want to stick to version 1.0.5 if you're unwilling to buy the pro version.
I'm currently working on having server side statistics integrated into pypmin, but I haven't got a full plan for this yet so I can't say if or when it will be ready. Please let me know if there are any extra features you'd like and thanks for giving pypmin a try!
Hey all, pypmin was recently updated to version 1.1.2, this adds the ability to specify the exact response code expected for each individual website. This allows you to monitor websites where a '200 OK' response is not actually expected.
For example, you could be monitoring a website that requires authentication, and so you would specify the code 401 to be expected. With that option set pypmin will not only alert you when an error is returned, but also when a 200 response is recieved which indicates that you have accidentally opened up the site to unauthorized clients.
Enjoy.

[APP]NeverForget Reminder - A New Revolutionary Location Reminder

Hey guys,
We are a small team of android developers that had a cool idea of a reminder app which we have released to the market some time ago.
The app called 'NeverForget Reminder' and the idea is simple: A solution to forgetting stuff when you leave your home(or your current location). There are tons of situations when this app may be useful. A classic example is when you leave your home at the morning to your job, you surely need to take with you some stuff such as your bag, wallet, keys, etc.. NeverForget's Reminder purpose is to make sure you won't forget any of it again. Another example is when you visit your friends house and you brought with you some stuff, when leaving it, the last thing you want is to forget that stuff at your friends home. NeverForget will remind you to take it when you leave that place.
One of our main goals was to make the app as simple as possible, so there is one main button. Click it to start the reminder. And when you will leave your current place, the app will start a loud alarm. There are additional options available such as setting the alarm name or taking a photo of the stuff you need to take.
After thinking of this idea, we have searched a lot and could not find any solutions to that common problem. After deeper search we understood why is that. There is NO way to determine device's location inside a building, for these days. GPS does not working inside closed places, and that was our biggest issue that we successfully overcame with NeverForget.
Basically what we do is rely on WiFi networks around you. Then we make calculations to determine when you getting away from that network and when you do, a load alarm starts with a reminder. If no WiFi networks around you, GPS service is required.
The app is FREE to use and available at Google Play.
We would appreciate your feedback and hope you will try out our app - NeverForget Reminder.
For any questions you can send us an email to: [email protected]

Thanks.

Hello there,
im new to programming. Did some HTML back in 2000, but its not worth to mention.
Well, i want to do some app programming and i dont know where and how to start.
Got an Idea in Mind and i need an independent valuation if its doable for a Newbie.
General thoughts are: What do i need, how long would it take? Meaning, what language should i learn to get this done
and how long would it take to programm for me. Since you Guys here got serious skills id like to here an opinion on this.
------------------------------
App should run on ios,android.
A Database is needed.
App needs to go online to access it.
No GPS needed.
It basically is an App that provides just Information from the DB.
First Screen are a Searchbar and 2 Dropdown Menus.
Second Screen you can specify further, there are some Categories to choose from.
Third Screen presents your Information.
Some fancy Graphics/Pictures and a Menu Sidebar on the left Side.
I hope to get this done in maby 6-7 Month working 1 hour per day?
Am i to optimistic or is it such a simple thing to programm =)
