[Q] Business App Template - Is it possible? - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
I'm really new to this app development and would like to ask one of you experienced developers a question.
Basically I have recently been creating mobile websites from a set of css files which are just a basic template. The template files have individual files for some of the most common pages that a small business would need, google map, contact us with form, menu, opening hours and so on.
What happens is you simply upload the company logo and such into the images folder, update the css style sheet for colours, then simply edit one of the relevant pages e.g place the food items in the menu page.
When the whole set of files gets uploaded it creates a personalised functional business mobile website.
What I would like to know is, would it be possible to set something like this up for an android app? Whereby the user could simply change the details as above and then compile the apk file which will create the app?
Your input is much appreciated, also have any of you got any idea where I could get someone to code something like this?
Regards,
Stephen

need help with very small program for myself.. plz help

im trying to get a very very small program runnint, however im very lost when it comes to programming windows mobile device, i have a database online, and i want a small dialog box to show up on my wm device and alow me to type something in , then it search the online database.. and return the information, or even just take me to where the online listing is, that's all no bells or whistles.. could someone help me with this please?
i have even added a search feature to my database, soo i just basically want this little program to relay text to that search feature, then take me to it.. so i don't have to go to all these links and whatnot
Well,
it is quite hard to advice you anything without actually knowing about the file structure / database format. Maybe the easiest way would be to simply set up a search option online as a WAP2.0 page - if you don't want others to access this section, simply password protect it.
If you really have a need to generate the 'search string' offline (which I just can't understand since you want to be taken to your DB online) then simply use something which generates the search string for you.
For example you could have a "results.php" online which simply needs the search terms 'attached' in order to list you all relevant records. Now, the question remains how the database is structured. If you have 2 fields in your database, containing firstname and lastname, then it would be simple. You would need only something that adds your search terms to the string and then navigates to your server. For example you search for SMITH as lastname, it would have to transfer the string as followed:
www.mysite.com/results.php?lastname=smith
For sure your results.php needs to be programmed first!
However,
this has nothing to do with your device, you better join a programmer forum - in this case I would suggest you look for web development forums since this can be done entirely on the server side!

[Q] webkit app?

Hello good people of xda.
i have a question i‘ve been thinking about for a year now..
Is there an app-framework for android where i can put a folder with html files and/or an url
in, then set an icon, and it will make an webkit-type-of app?
I know there are alot of mobile frameworks, but i hate the fact that the url bar shows and that
the menu pops up. it makes it feel less appish...

[Q] Need advice on developing a sheet music viewer.

Greetings to all XDA people. I am new to XDA, don't have the permission to ask at Android Software Dev. So, I will ask my question here.
I am reading Android books and trying out tools to develop apps on Android. No problem using the SDK and TextView, Grid, IMF, etc.
I am trying to develop a sheet music/score viewer. I am targeting API level 11 which is Honeycomb. So that musician can read sheet music with their 10.1" device. It should actually look like we are viewing a pdf. Vector base staff.
Before diving into implementation. I need design the structure first. The first question is, what file format should I use? Famous sheet music software like finale and overture, rosegarden, etc. Seems like they are all using their own format. Is there a open standard for storing staff or sheet music? Or should I go for MIDI (I don't think this is an appropriate format for viewing)? How about this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUIDO_music_notation?
I won't go right the way for a generic staff viewer, instead I will develop specifically for drumming first, and let the viewer highlight the bar which you are playing with tempo which you specified. Such that you don't have to worry about turning page or putting all stuff into one staff page (A4).
Please give me advice on the file format, or if there is a framework doing something just like that, please tell me.

[Q] Create TV Guide app

Hi,
Does anyone know how to create a TV Guide app and give me some help/"how to" guide?
Thanks!
Look at xmltv for a standard option. Trywiki.xmltv.org/index.php/Main_Page for info.
Sorry, rated as new user and can't hotlink
Me again. . I've just done a little research and can only find one app that implements the xmltv standard (tvonhand). This app doesnt allow the loading of a personalised menu and is only for Vietnam at present. An idea would be to allow the user to point to a (number of) website(s) to get the schedules they need. There are already many providers on the xml files necessary.

Hi! I'm the developer and the artist of the images in Material islands and it makes me glad that you are interested in the app. The images are my own art, it takes me time to create them and I have not allowed you to take them. What is your purpose with the images? Maybe I can develop for another platform if that is your problem. Or is there an issue you have with the app? You could send me an email to (hanell.jenny (at) gmail (dot) com) for further discussion regarding this. Regards Jenny
Sorry, I don't know the answer......

Hello,
The problem is that I found beautiful wallpapers but did not want to use them the way it was proposed, would save them and use on my phone without the need for them to be automatically exchanged as it consumes a lot of battery of my mobile phone.
Forgive me, just wish I could save them on my phone without any intent to distribute them, if necessary I even paid for it.
It would not be possible to make them as simple wallpapers so I can choose what I want to use the phone? without them change automatically?
I found them very beautiful and I think a shame you can not choose which put on one of the screens ... I have more of a Home on my phone so I would be able to choose wallpapers, but this is not possible because they automatically change as the time of day, I know some people like that but the problem is that consumes a lot of phone memory apart from that, I'd like a particular wallpaper was fixed.
It has some way to achieve this?
You faira that for me?

Could you generate a version for dekstop windows. I'd be very appreciated...
Well done Jenny. Your a legend for creating the app and sticking up for yourself. We need more creative and innovative artists like you that aren't chasing a buck but just want to simply be recognised for their work. I love your stuff. Keep it up!
Why are these 320x320 absolutely worthless you may have well not even posted them!!! At this size they are worthless to anyone that has a device that isn't 10 years old actually even the original androids like the hero or others had a screen resolution that was much larger than that! So where are the wallpapers that we can use???
