Description- Looking at something worth taking a picture of? Use PhotoSwap and send your picture immediately to another randomly selected PhotoSwap user. In exchange, you'll get a picture from him. You can reply to each picture you receive with another picture. PhotoSwap lets you engage in a real photo-based conversation.
Each picture taken has one and only one recipient. Be surprised by a unique glimpse into someone elses life.
Any thing like this for Windows Mobile??
Could something like this be made?
I like this but dont want to get an iphone to use this app,
i'd put money on it that people would start sending 18+ images. Problem with that is that kids will start to use the service so they can get dirty images.
Haha they have u get like banned for like a week on the version from the iphone. E-mailed the Maker of the App. Says there considering it but no plan of action yet..
Sounds like MMS......
I would love for an Android PhotoSwap clone. That would be awesome.
is there now an app like photoswap?
greetings from Ger
there is always pic swap, but needs updating badly.
(not so) long time reader, first time poster
Ive been working on a Photoswap clone for Android recently after being annoyed at how much Picswap crashes. While not 100% complete, the only real issue so far is that it relies upon a php/mysql web host for hosting the images during transit, which I don't have the funds for. Im going to look at free php/mysql hosts, however I don't know how far they can be trusted. The app so far works better than Picswap, as it offers (without force closing) the following:
- Take a photo and swap it with someone elses
- Send a reply photo back to the person who you last received a photo from, and receive reply photos from others
- Press the 'search' button to autofocus the camera
- All commands available by pressing the menu button, they do not take up screen real estate
The app still needs some polishing, as do the PHP scripts that run on a web server to handle the transfer of files, but otherwise its ready to go (if/when I can afford/find a suitable host for it)
On another note:
I ran wireshark and figured out how picswap operates and could easily make a copy of my app that interfaces with picswaps server, although it would lose out on photo replies. When picswap seems to say the image is corrupt, it looks like the image is not actually corrupt, it is just picswap not able to process it. Ive been able to access the picswap network via a php script to upload an image to it, and receive an image from it, and all images that I have received from it load fine (although some are very high resolution, while others are much smaller in size)
wow this will be really cool, i hope it is just as good as on the iPhone, and "your" programm also receive pictures of iphones!

It won't send/receive photos with iPhone users as I don't have details of how the iPhone app communicates If you have an iPhone (or have access to one) and you are able to run a packet sniffer on the app, Id be happy to look at modifying my app to interface with the iPhone photoswap server
I have uploaded the neccessary scripts to run from a free web host for now, however I cannot post a link to the APK here yet as a new forum user. As there are (obviously) no users of it yet, there arent many images available (Im seeding some into it myself), but with enough users I don't foresee any issues with a lack of photos being seeded into it.
The apps also not complete, and given that its running off a free web host I don't know how long it will currently run before they shut-off the hosting In which case I would need to recompile it with a new host setup. I have developed the app using the Android 2.1 SDK and tested only on a HTC Legend (unrooted). I don't believe there is anything present that would stop it working on other Android handsets/versions, but as I have not tested on anything else I cannot guarantee compatibility.
As Im a new user, Im not able to post links to outside sites until I have been verified by a moderator, however if you PM me your email address I'll be happy to email you APK file (not sure if Im able to PM links to outside sites?)
This sounds great! I'm excited to see how it turns out. Especially if you can get it to interface with the iPhone users as well. If you could send me the APK file, Ciela, that would be really awesome. I have a Droid, so Ill definitely let you know how well it works with that. Ill PM you my email address now. Looking forward to seeing it in its completed form as well.
Ive sent it across to you now
Apparently the app does not run well on the Samsung Galaxy S, whether or not it is related to the lag issues that SGS has is unknown though. It runs fine on my HTC Legend, and I assume it will run fine on other HTC devices as well. Hopefully works well on other non-HTC devices
If I can get access to an iPhone to run a packet sniffer on Photoswap, I don't imagine it would be difficult to integrate with that.
Hi Ciela,
I've got access to an iPhone with Photoswap, and all the tools I require to dump all the packets you'd ever need from Photoswap's transactions. I've also got access to a Galaxy S and a HTC Desire to use for testing.
If you need a hand, give me a shout and I'll devote a fair chuck of my time to helping you get this off the ground, be it by cloning Photoshop or starting something new from the ground up.
It may be wise that if you decide to clone Photoswap, that you get in touch with the developers and see if they're happy for you to go ahead. It'd sure give the Android Photoswap community a great head-start, being merged with the iPhone community. You never know, they may be happy to divulge the API data to you if they like the idea. Without yet dumping any packets, I'd imagine it's all done over HTTPS though, so Padadaz's co-operation would probably be a good thing.
If you decide to go your own way, I've got about 750GB HDD space free on my Xen node, so could spin you up a Debian VM if you need one.
Shout me if you need anything,
Chris
I too would like a copy to test, I have a rooted Desire and Galaxy Tab
I used to use PhotoSwap when I had an iPhone
Hello all, I'm looking to hire an expert Android programmer to design a real estate app for me. Any interested expert Android programmer out there, please email me or post your quick resume on this thread.
Thanks,

Hey frank,
check out an app called "Zillow." I need something like that. Please let me know if it could be done.
That app can certainly be done, the question is where does the data come from? Zillow has a well defined web services interface that lets the app get access to all the stored real estate data.
Are you a real estate agent with some kind of access to a data base? Do you need the webservices and database done as well?

I was really disappointed with all Android PDF readers & unwilling to sell my iPod touch just for apps like GoodReader! A couple of weeks ago I found this great app called "ezPDF Reader" by accident in market & gave it a try & it's just impressive!
Unlike Repligo, QuickOffice, DocumentsToGo &.... it renders everything really fast, renders huge PDF files without any problems & here's the list of some of it's features:
It's super fast & reliable, not a single FC on documents larger tha 40 MBs!
Renders pages & pictures in a blink! It really shames Adobe Reader & similar apps...
Supports auto zooming feature for all columns & pictures.
Supports Night Mode & text reflow the way it should!
Shows thumbnails of all pages while reading in a very pleasant way!
Gets updated at least once a week! (Have had it for about 2 months)
Developers will actually implement your request, just tweet them or email them & in next version it's there!
You can add bookmarks to your documents.
Fully supports password-protected files.
Supports Wake-Lock.
Supports multi-touch up to 3 fingers.
Plays the multimedia content in PDFs.
Comes with free PDF printer for PC!
Supports Copy/Paste!
Supports pinch to zoom, horizontal lock, remembers your zoom level & position when you navigate.
Great animations!
It's just 0.99$!!!!!
& much more...
I really think developers deserve being supported, it's 5-star-rated in Market but it's been stuck in 1000-5000 downloads range for a very long time! Just give it a try, you'll love it! I just don't want developers abandon it coz there's nothing like it in Android Market! I don't know why it hasn't got enough attention though!
Appbrain Link
If you have already tried it, you can post your idea about it here!
They just released another update today which improves the rendering speed much more! I just hope they release a trial version or something to get more attention! Nobody has used the app here?
I have this on a Nook Color and I can't seem to get the menu to redisplay once the overlay controls minimize. How do you do it?
It really is the BEST PDF reader on Android!

C'mon why can you advertise an app, while we developers aren't allowed to advertise our apps here on xda-dev.
I think (it may be) that some developers use very sneaky ways to advertise their products here on xda.
I think this thread should be closed!
It is the best one among those pdf reader I have used.
If you search the threads started by me, you realize I was desperately looking for a PDF reader with ezPDF features couple of months ago!
Android Market PDF readers are nothing good compared to this & they all carry price tags like 10$!!!
There's no benefit behind this topic for me, just want to make the project popular so it continues the way it is going now! It's been always updated at least twice a week... If you haven't tried it yet, use the 24 hours refund policy to check it, however I don't think you will ever ask for refund!

Does this annotate pdf? I'm trying to figure out why apple has 10,001 apps that markup pdf and Droid has none (that I found)

I just stumbled upon this app today. I was looking for a reasonably priced reader that had bookmarks so I can resume reading of large docs. This fits it to a "T". All the others I looked at were in the $7-10 price range. The UI is taking some getting used to, I would like to see a help or manual as there are almost too many options.

I still consider it as spam. Simple as that. You don't give a review. You just sum up the things it can do, you give a price and that's it.
And now you are talking about a 24 hours refund policy? Man... this is just spam.
I don't know what to tell you buddy! Whatever you wish to call it, I listed the features I think no other Droid PDF reader has, I can't figure out your problem!! Developers are Korean, I am by the way Iranian/Persian so ...!
It doesn't need a detailed review since there's no competition in PDF readers field on Android Market...! I think it is 5/5 rated!
As for manual, I found it a bit confusing too! Actually developers have an odd way of describing the features & how-to-dos! Read their tweets from following URL, somehow it works as their manual!!!
twitter.com/ezpdf
I have this app also, it really is the best. I was ready to buy BeamReader then I found ezPdf

Don't you get it? We are also developers but we respect the forum rules and try not to sell our apps here in such a explicit way.
But just go on with your pushy, disrespectful monologue.

ADW was developed & advertised hereon XDA. Dialer one was advertised here on XDA. Mort player was both advertised during it's Winmo days & now in Android too.
If a mod closed your thread, talk to another mod about it.
Spamming your app however is different.
Oh btw, he isn't pushy. You are pushy with you personal vendetta. If you have a problem with this thread, report it man. Easy as that.

This is not a personal vendetta. I encourage all developers to promote their apps. I have no problem with that. The problem is that I think it's rather inappropriate to promote apps in a forum where developers are discouraged to promote their own paid apps. Isn't really motivating. Don't you see that?
And I didn't have had any problems with any moderator. So no, that isn't my motive also.
And of course I have contacted xda developers, but with a constructive request if it is possible to look for a way how developers can promote their own apps without undermining the philosophy of xda developers.
Btw ADW, dialer one and mort are free programs/apps as far as I know.
appelflap,
Before you complain about commercialization and self-promotion why not remove the "Donate To Me" link that shows up on all of your posts?
I do not see a violation of the forum rules here.
Thanks to the OP for pointing out a viable alternative PDF viewer.

Hello folks,
since all other threads concerning this topic are either outdated or are about trying to fix this problem by themselves I've decided to open a new one.
The problem mentioned above should be well known to almost any android user who uses Gmail to manage and sync their contacts.
Because Google ignored earlier requests I'm trying to spread this one single request as far as possible. If enough Gmail users read and star this thread Google has to react in any way.
Link to Google-Discussion
Link to direct suggestion of features for Gmail<-- German, but don't hesitate to like the feature suggestion there too!
If you are registered in another major forum please share the link so we reach as many frustrated users as possible.
Regards,
rabbit
Voted.
In fact i've added my support to many threads like this on the Google Forums over the last year, as have hundreds of other users. I find it utterly baffling how after all this time, Google still haven't addressed this issue.
If Google were to increase the contact picture size even by merely 10 pixels, they would need massive amount of additional server space.
I'm not saying it's not doable, just not as simple as we'd like to think.
iR¡[email protected]!* via Tapatalk
Actually I thought of that point too, but I made a quick calculation.
I am able to get a decent picture quality (JPEG,256x256px,8bit,quality 65) at under 15kb per picture.
Now imagine you are having 1000 contacts, it would be around 15MB of data just for the pictures. And now take into consideration that any Gmail user already has over 7,6GB(!) of free storage. Would anybody miss 15 or even 50MB?
But all this has already been written in the request thread
