Let me start off by apologizing if this is in the wrong place. I tried to post in the Software developer forum but got a notice that I cannot as i am new and need to post here, in the general forums.
I have developed an app for the Android that is an Attorney Time Entry application. The purpose of the app is to allow attorneys to enter time entries from their phone and have them automatically show up on their time entry software on their desktop at the office. I have already deployed this to one firm and am looking now to move to making it a general application on the market that anyone can use.
Currently the way the app works is that it goes to the specified server (at the attorney's office) and downloads all the matters from there. The attorney then has a listpick of all of the matters that that specific attorney is working on. He can then enter the number of hours, activity code, task code, description, and date, and submit the information via an email. The email will go to a specified email account that on the server side it receives the comma separated values and uploads them to the internal software.
So what I am looking for is to see if there is interest in a firm, or small group of firms working with me to make this a market product. I would work with you to instruct you how to set up things on your end at the server, and you would in turn test the app on your android phones and report any bugs or feature suggestions.
This is obviously most useful for a firm that supplies its attorneys with android phones.
Bump for myself. Is thread doomed because it is in general instead of in application development? Can a mod please move it there for me?
Reporting -In this section, we rate each time tracking and management software product according to its capabilities to produce various reports. The software should produce valuable reports that aid in business and time management. Additionally, you should be able to print the reports easily, or export them as needed.

AppFeed.net
Coomon problem:
As many of you knows, there is no app or service for Android where users can request notifications of application updates, especially the price changes (mainly price drop), or updates for slow updating apps.
Solution:
My solution was to develop a website where users can add applications to a list, and get a unique RSS/Atom feed that notifies them whenever the apps gets updated (Price, Version, etc).
The feed can be added to any application that support it: Desktop Readers/notifiers (tested with Thunderbirds), Web-based readers (Tested with Google Reader).
I intended to add other forms of notifications, but later found that with the service if this then that I can create tasks that monitor my unique feed that do everything else: Email notifications, Twitter posts, or any other channel provided by the ifttt.com service.
Usage examples:
Some usage examples for such a service:
1) I like a paid app, but its cost is a bit high for me, so I add the app to my watch list to get notified if/when the app gets on sale, instead of having to check frequently or miss an opportunity to get the app during a great sale (happened to me few times already).
2) I like and played a game, and finished all levels, the developer promised extra levels, instead of leaving the game installed on my device and wait for updates, I can uninstall it and add it instead to my list and get notified when it's updated.
3) With Android Play Store auto update feature enabled, I miss most app updates, with notifications on selected apps I can see when those apps gets updated.
4) Other usages...
Status of the project
Currently this project is being developed and tested by just myself, and it seems to be working as expected. But to have a good service, I need some to extra help to test it better, to suggest features, etc.
What is mainly missing is some legal advice, such as a privacy policy and term of service, and on whether I can put up such a service (does Google allow this kind of service? knowing they do not provide API for the Google Play).
What is still missing the some text, I am not a native-English speaker so still trying to put things correctly.
Privacy
I take privacy issues very seriously.
To make this service work, I opted for using 3rd party sign-in (Google and Twitter), what is saved on the DB is a hash of the sso unique token, not even I can get the clear one. User name and email are required, and are saved encrypted in the DB (with AES), and get decrypted only during login to show your name on the top bar, nothing else.

My topic is more development than questions, maybe not an Android App but and Android service
Updated post #1.
project is going well, anybody is interested, please let me know (by leaving a comment), if I get enough feedback, I'll get a domain and host it somewhere, currently it is running on a personal domain.
Update:
Got a domain for my new service, and now it is up and running.
check the first post for link and info
Hi,
while using google for authentication, I am actually notified that your website wants to "manage your contacts".
What is the reason behind that?
Thanks a lot

For the authentication I use the HybridAuth library, and this is the minimum that I can ask for from Google for use the OAuth authentication, if there is anything less, I'll do it, but I can't find how.
Twitter authentication has just Read Only access (Minimum available).
Update:
Found the solution, now it doesn't ask for Manage Contacts...
Hello, everyone. I just finished a small and simple app which called app data tracker. It can help developers to track every single app data they
published on 3 major app stores(Google Play, Itune AppStroe, Amazon AppStore) by providing a unified, clean and simple platform to display
analytic data and show them as line chart graphs. This might help developers to monitor their app development progress and make correct
decision for successful business model. This also could be used as a temporary solution before app annie offical android app comes out.
Installation Requirement:
Android version 3.2 or above
Installation & Usage Instruction
1. You can find this app on Google Play by searching with keyword appdatatracker (I will add the apk file in the bottom of this post too).
2. Log in by using your app annie user name and password, you can use regist button to go to app annie web site to complete the
registration if you do not have one yet.
3. If this is your first time of using app annie service, you probably need to make connections of your development account such like
(Google play development account, Itune development account, Amazon development account) to your new created app annie account.
This step need to be done in app annie account management interface.
4. Linking Google play development account could be a little bit tricky because it requires two step verification to grant third party access to its
financial data. You can try the work around method app annie provided by following this link ttp://support.appannie.com/entries/22927167-My-Google-account-is-setup-with-the-2-step-verification-option-Is-it-supported-by-App-Annie-What-is- (please add h back to the ttp for a completed link address)
5. Once completing those connections between development accounts and app annie account, come back to this app and give a try to test
its features.

Attached Screenshots and File
Note:
1. App Gained Revenue Section hasn't been fully tested because I do not have paid app and paid app included connected account to test, so
there is possibility that it is buggy and might not function as expected.
2. I don't have Itune and Amazon development account so apps on those store, so I am not sure those data are getting displayed correctly or
not.
Hi all, first of all I would like to introduce myself as I am new to this site.
I am studying Mobile Software Development and as part of my Study I do have an project to complete that I am not sure how I should start with.
In project itself shouldn't be a big deal ( I hope), but I am not sure where I should start coding etc.
That app can be as simple as possible as I am not worrying about UI, but functionality.
To the point. I need to write an mobile app that will allow me deposit money from my bank account into the app and withdraw them back successfully.
I have made some project planning and the below are my concerns:
1. Application need to allow user to create Username and password to their account (username cannot be duplicated, e-mail address cannot be duplicated)
2. Which deposit method will be the best (paypal like or debit card based - including card details, owner name, security code and expiry date)
3. What kind of security should I use ( keep in mind that as project purpose this will not be released to the market, but in theory as Windows app this should get some security solutions from Windows Store, is this correct?)
4. Does any database need to be created?
4.1 If so, I believe this will require server solution installed.
I am asking this questions as fully working application even if will handle only myself as user will need to be supported by documentation explaining what, where, why and what for.
I hope that you will be able to give me some advices and this can become quite interesting thread.
I would like to thank you in advance for any help given.
Hello experts!
I am looking for guidelines and where to start in creating a native mobile app that has a collection of questions
Example:
1. Engineer name
Text box:
2. Site name?
Text box
Picture of site access:
Picture ( choice of Galery or Camera)
3. Is site accessible with 2x4 vehicle?
Check box
Yes
No - if no selected then a check box appear and request more information
4. Etc...
5. E-mail to send to engineering?
Text box which will submit the email. Need probably to link to an email server?
I think this explain the project. At the end of the questionnaire the mobile user would have to hit submit and the info will be submitted to a web or cloud server.
I’ve started to install Apache (LAMP) and start something on adobe phonegap but I think I am going all over the place and not on the right direction.
What should I focus on and steps.
1. First step
2. Second step
3. Third ....
4.
Sorry I am a real beginner but I don’t mind to spend countless hours instead to use the ones available like form builder , fastfield, Zoho. Etc... i’d Like to try to host it on my private server at home on private network first, then will try something bigger, but for my personal experience I really want to make it work.
Thanks
Sylvain
