Hello. I am looking for android software that will allow me to attribute multiple tags to individual folders and files. By doing this I can organize them into as many virtual folders as I like according to their tags. I currently use Evernote which does exactly this but all files have to be converted into Evernote format and synced using their cloud server. If I could apply my own tags using the native android file structure I could simplify my organization and not have to use Evernote.
I found software that I think does this for windows (Tabbles.net) but it is not developed for android.
I seached for alternatives for Tabbles for android on alternativeto.net but had no luck.
Anyone know of software like this for android? Or could suggest another place to search for it?
Thanks.
I think this is what you are looking for, i'm not sure because i haven't understood you so much (bad english )
Not really understood what you're talking about
Okay, I'll try to explain it better. Android (and most other platforms have a tree-like file structure. Files are stored in folders and subfolders. To find a specific file or folder, you find a parent folder and work your way down to the folder/file you want. The "Folder Tag" application recommended above (thanks xacobe97) allows you to bookmark a folder so that you can find it easily later. I want to add multiple tags to a file so that I can organize it under multiple headings.
For example, the word file "LG G2X Screen Protector" could have the tag "Phone reference" so that I have the information on hand, and the tag "Errands" so that when I look under that tag I see that I need to go out and buy one. This is exactly what Evernote and many other productivity software titles do, but you have to convert all the files you want organized to their file format. I would like some kind of file manager that can tag any type of file, and make these programs unnecessary. It would also allow me to use my preferred office app to edit files, not whatever editor comes with Evernote or whatever else.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I currently use a WinMo phone but might move over to Android. I have several large databases (1200+ records) so I use Handbase. I was wondering what database apps exist for Android. From what I'm told the iPhone version of Handbase is rubbish, is the Android version any good?
I've had a quick google search and didn't find anything and it looks like I can only search Android market via an Android phone which I don't own yet.
What I need from a database is to be able to import my existing databases (probably as a .cvs file) then easily filter the records. The simplest and best database program I've ever used was on my Psion 5, handbase (winMo) is a close second. Other than Handbase are there any other decent database apps out there and is Android Handbase any good?
I don't know of a good database app, but you can browse the market with Cyrket:
http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=database&market=android&sort=
There you also see HanDBase and others
Or search with Appbrain's website.. http://www.appbrain.com/
That was quick, I'm at work and a bit busy to have a proper look at the links, I'll look later.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Just to be clear, are you looking for an app that can read your current database files? Or just any database application (do you have any requirements E.G. GUI, Sql console, RDBMS transactionality?) For example, are you looking for "A database" in the same way that MS Access is "a database" (Hint: it isn't it's just a GUI) or "a database" in the way MySQL is.
Android has binaries for SQLite built in and searching for sqlite in appbrain should give you a number of front-ends for that.

Help, I'm a lawyer who uses wordperfect (I know not many of us out there) and can't seem to find a tablet that will let me create, edit, convert back and forth from word to wordperfect, etc. Does anyone know if I can edit wordperfect files on an android tablet? On an I-Pad tablet? Or on a Windows based or Windows Based/ Android tablet like the ASUS EEETransformer? Any suggestions?

Also a lawyer and would love to see this happen. Corel should make an Android app.
Currently I use a txt based program. Which is fine you just copy and paste all the text and format later. But it would be nice to be able to finish the job on the Android app.
woops I shouldve searched google first....
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.corel.wordperfectviewer&hl=en
Its just a viewer though and 6.99 for just a viewer. weak.

WordPerfect viewer/editor on Android? For long-time WordPerfect users, it has been virtually impossible to read or write WPD files on an Android device. The only official option, thus far, has been the official and commercial Corel WPD viewer, but the user reviews have been mixed, to say the least.
This problem has prompted me to research and experiment, based on the fact that a free Windows MS Office-compatible suite like Libre Office [or Open Office, or Apache Office] has, for some time, had the ability to open WordPerfect files seamlessly [and save them, sometimes]. I formatted and saved a few basic WPD files, simply renamed the file extension to .ODT, and opened them in Libre Office – virtually perfectly [only experiencing importing issues with some complex tables]. Apart from that, formatting features like different fonts, graphics boxes, numbered outlining? No problem.
Then I proceeded to Android: I copied these test WPD files [simply renamed as ODT files, not exported as Open Office files, remember] to my device/cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive. I installed a number of Open Office/ODT compatible office apps, and tried to open the "new" ODT files.
The best result so far [only been testing for the last 2 days] has come from OOReader [free via the Google Play store]. Opening a disguised WPD file as an ODT file takes a few seconds to convert, and – success! Almost every file I've tossed at OOReader has imported successfully, with WP formatting and graphics intact.
Interestingly, the official Libre Office viewer app [also the beta one] chokes on these FrankenFiles, as well as most other allegedly ODT-compatible office viewers and editors.
And so my 48-hour conclusion and advice are this: If you're a die-hard WPD user and would like to access your files on an Android device, follow these kludgy and hack-ey steps: (1) upload your WPD file AS IS to your device or the cloud; (2) install OOReader on your device; (3) when you need to do so, simply rename the WPD file to an ODT extension, and import into OOReader.
Savvy users might even write a batch script or CMD file beforehand which automatically renames or mirrors important WPD files as ODT files in one's PC Dropbox folder, which will save precious seconds when accessing that beautiful WPD data...
When (if) I find an app which can then also correctly and perfectly edit and save these hacked WPD-as-ODT files, a follow-up report will, well, follow.

There are several videos and instructions by LectureNotes' users concerning different aspects of the app (besides the searchable help page that comes with the app, select `Help´ in any of the main menus), so I thought that it might be helpful to collect links to them here in a single thread. Please feel invited to post additional ones!

I havent figured out how to set custom page when creating a notebook. The presets are A4 and Letter, but what would be setting for A5 and B5 portrait on Note 1 (800 x 1280 I think)?
@nbog: What should be the difference between A4 and A5? Both formats have the same aspect ratio.

Cutter non-standard clipboard
I was wondering if there was a way to set the nonstandard clip board to just hold a couple of .png files. I want to put circuit elements to use when doing circuit analysis so I don't have to keep drawing them.
@caffeinatedinsanity: The non-standard clipboard displays material from numerous sources, including recent imports, the standard Android clipboard and various non-standard clipboards, and content located in the `DCIM´, `Download´, and `Pictures´ directories. If you place your content in any of the latter directories (for instance in a subdirectory in the `Pictures´ directory), it will appear in the non-standard clipboard overview.

Thank you so much for such quick and helpful responses. I was wondering if there was a way to move the menu so that it is on the left side of the screen instead of the top. That would just personally make it easier for me to use the different options with my off-hand so I can streamline my use of different features.
@caffeinatedinsanity: The so-called action bar is at the top in Android standard UI.
Would it be possible to
Would it be possible to set a default option for the fill function of the cutter? it seems like a small thing but would make the fill function much more useful and streamlined at least in my opinion because I only ever find myself using one so being able to set a default would make it much quicker.
I have a question about the extensions.
Does Lecturevideos only take a video recording of your screen? or could it be used with a webcam to record a professor's lecture and have that included in your notebook beside the notes? becasue i would love to get that be able to have a video along with my notes of the lecture.
@acadoid Is it possible to export a few pages to pdf from a notebook? Like I know I can do either the entire notebook or one page, but I can't seem to find a way to do it for a number of pages between 1 and the total number.
@caffeinatedinsanity: You can export a subset of pages to PDF by opening the notebook in notebook overview (either directly from the notebooks board by long-clicking on the notebook and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the popup menu, or by opening the notebook normally and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the main menu), click on the `tag´ icon to active tag mode, click on the pages to tag them, and select `Export tagged pages to PDF´ in the main menu.
Is there a way to save an item to the special clipboard permanently? like just pinning it there somehow? or even just being able to use an image as a drawing tool would work even better.
@caffeinatedinsanity: LectureNotes looks in several directories for content, including ‘Download’ and ‘Pictures’ (Android access restrictions apply).
Hi there! Is there any plan to port LN to ChromeOS? I'm a paid user of LN and I'm using LN on my Chromebook tablet (hp x2 11). However, the copy/paste is tedious without being able to copy/paste everything between ChromeOS apps like Google Keep. Thanks.
@testrider: I do not understand. What exactly is ‘tedious’? What did you do? What happened? Was there an error message?
@acadoid What I meant was, I could easily copy text & images from a web site and paste them into Keep when doing research. That's not easy or possible to do with LectureNotes. For ex, to transfer an image from a web page to LectureNotes I had to save the image as a file, then go to LectureNotes and import it. Many more steps than doing Ctrl-C, then Ctrl-V to Keep without having to save into a file.
@testrider: This is not LectureNotes' fault, images copied in Chrome for Android can be pasted in LectureNotes.
Text copied in Chrome for ChromeOS appears in Android's clipboard (as it should) and you can paste it in LectureNotes, while images copied in Chrome for ChromeOS do not (which is weird). I found this behavior on all Chromebooks that I tested. I doubt whether this is intentionally, it rather seems like a bug in Chrome for ChromeOS or ChromeOS itself.
Did something change recently because I can no longer import pdfs to my lectureNotes that section of the settings is greyed out.
Please help because this takes LectureNotes from my all in 1 solution for notes to basically useless for my class notes
@caffeinatedinsanity: Did you uninstall PDFView?
If PDFView is still installed, then Android probably put PDFView 'on ice'. Newer versions of Android put apps 'on ice' if they were not launched by the user for some time. Simply launch PDFView (it will display a dialog box), that will 'de-ice' PDFView.
Restart LectureNotes after (re)installing/'de-icing' PDFView, then the menu entries and the settings for PDF import will be accessible again.
Ok so in a nutshell, I am a college student with dozens of sets of imported PDF files of PowerPoints. I take notes using S Note on the PDF versions of the PowerPoints and it is incredibly functional and nice. However, I need to print these files and in order to do that, I have to open each individual file within S Note, export to PDF then print using HP ePrint. I want to be able to use Google Drive or my SD Card to access the .snb files on my computer, use a program to EFFICIENTLY convert them into PDF so I can print them with ease from my computer and store them there to avoid cluttering my device. As I said, I have dozens of sets of notes and I really do not want to export each of them one at a time. Is there any application for Android that can accomplish or, better yet, a program available that I can install on my laptop to convert the files efficiently? If not, is there a more functional way to take notes on PDF exported PowerPoints using my S Pen? I can't imagine that Samsung would be that ridiculous about making things hard for someone who wants to simply print some files on a non-Samsung printer directly from the device...
snb to pdf effeciently
I second that request - passionately. I take half a dozen multipage notes a day at work and I need to be able to archive them and access them, print them from computer (rather than a tablet). I have looked and have found no good way to process and convert snb's in mass.
Has anyone sorted out the fix for this yet? Surely it is something Samsung would be well served to address; and horrendously negligent if they do not.
SNB reader, converter...Did you find the answer?
Jkeeling43: Did you ever find the fix for this? I am still searching and I am certain lots of folks are grappling with the same problem.

Hello My names Rodger and I work for a small plastics company in Alabama. we would like to use NFC tags on are molds to track setup sheet and part information. we would like to load all this information onto a android table in PDF format and use NFC tags to open the specific file for the given tool. I have look at NFC Smart Q, NFC Tagwriter and a hole bunch of other NFC writer in the Play store. BUT none of them well open a PDF file. it just opens the adobe viewer but not the PDF file. they will open a audio file, a picture file, and even a movie file but not a PDF file, Word document, or a Excel spreadsheet. Now I have look at a windows tablet and it appears to work on windows, but I would much prefer android to windows mainly because I can get a android tablet with NFC for half the cost that a windows one cost. it seams like there should be a simple way to do this.
Is there a simple way to write a URI that will open a PDF or is there an app that will do this. any help would be appreciated.
