Im typing this out of curiosity. Wondered if anyone had a similar idea.
would it be possible to create a floating container app that you can then attach an app too. for example. say you wanted to look at your e-mails while surfing the web and not have to close your browser. would it be possible to create an app that you can link your g-mail app too so that you can view it in floating form. perhaps do it with other apps too.

I use NewsRob to read Google Reader Engadget.com articles, but it never downloads the comments and is unable to do so. I have to open each article in the browser in order to read the comments, and use Home Long Press to swap back and forth between the two apps constantly.
Is there any Google Reader app that allows you to see the full webpage within the app? The free-er the better.
I use NewsRoom does the same thing. I can just press back and it goes back to App. Outside of comments its all there though , images etc.
Even the stupid Geniewidget leaves the app now.
I hate it. Should be self contained.
it doesn't allow comment viewing but most dont however I for sure reccommend Pulse, very pretty and intergrates with google reader. I reviewed it here on Droiddog
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/07/app-review-pulse/
Google Reader itself doesn't show comments if they aren't in the RSS feed.
The engadget app does that. Its pretty decent and you can post and reply within the app.
I switched over from an iPhone 4 to an Atrix, and one of the features that I truly miss is that before sending an email with attachments, the iPhone would allow me to select an image size/resolution.
Anyone know of an app/method to do this on Android?
Stock gmail app doesn't seem to resize anything at all, nor do I see an option/preference to do so.
Thanks guys.
Sorry to drag this back from the depths, but did you ever find a practical (ideally free) solution to your problem?
Nope. Google needs to seriously work on this feature.
lol indeed, well thanks for the quick reply.
Np, let us know if you find a feasible solution lol.
This annoys the hell out of me too. It really should be built into the gmail app. I guess there are times when you'd want to send a 2MB image to someone via email but usually you don't.
The intuitive approach for me is to go to the gallery where I can easily browse photos, and then "share" the photo straight to the gmail app. Going to gmail then browsing the filesystem for the image is not as smooth (imho). So some of the resizing apps don't suit me.
Here is my current solution - an app called Image Shrink Lite. It lets you go to the gallery and "share" to Image Shrink Lite, then choose the size, then "share" again to gmail.
It's still clunkier than it should be of course but it is the best option I have found so far.
Seems like a decent solution, it isn't ideal but it works whenever you do need to shrink an image. Thanks for the tip!
My solution is setting up my gmail account in the email app that came with my s3. When I need to send pjotos i attach them and a menu pops ip asking me if I want to resize my photos. Annoying that google doesn't have that as well.

Well ****, so it does.
You can't share TO the email app (which I think would be ideal), but attaching a picture from Email allows you to resize to 70,30 or 10% original size.
Is there any way I can lock some of my apps with another another app? I have many cousins and they like to go threw my phone and I would like to lock just certain apps like my messages and pictures not my whole phone.
Same here

Some launchers let you hide certain apps. For Windows Phone, that's probably not possible. Without some sort of exploit, the design of a Windows Phone app is supposed to be very limited.
On the other hand, you could have an application with a password-protect feature that would store your archived pictures and messages.
I'm afraid that this isn't possible in WP7. You would probably need some kind of replacement launcher to make this happen.
Same problem
SecureIt app for photos
You can always download SecureIt app from the marketplace. You can store private pics there and then delete them from your camera roll, or albums. As for text messages I have no idea.
I wasn't able to find SecureIt app on the Market Place. Has it been removed or non existent anymore?
So I was looking through my gallery today and noticed I have a ton of images downloaded or screen-shoted from Chrome that I used to send in MMS. I'm aware that in iOS you can just copy an image from Safari and paste it into a message without having to download a local copy. I would really like this functionality on my phone so I don't end up with a bunch of silly pics in my gallery.
Anyone know a solution for this?

It depends on the browser. I can do that using puffin browser. Just long-press the image, tap Share, tap SMS app or Hangouts and choose the contact.
I think not possible with Chrome.

That's what I figured. I've read that people with the stock Samsung TouchWiz browser could do this. Guess I need to try some different ones. Anyone have a recommended one that supports this function?

I can recommend you UC browser that is faster and saves more battery than chrome and has that function. Puffin Browser also does it and looks like Chrome PC version (they have a free and paid version which supports flash)
There are many other you can try like the AOSP, Firefox, Opera and Dolphin, but I'm not using them and can't confirm if those have the feature.
You are free to explore.
I was looking around to figure out if there is a way to make app specific default application choices. It somewhat works now but some apps must piggyback off others when you make a choice which I don't want. I want to force each app to have a default application choice. For example, if I choose Chrome as my default app choice when opening a link in Facebook, it automatically chooses to do the same when I open a link in twitter. I want to choose Javalin browser for twitter to allow me to keep browsing my twitter feed while that link loads. Is there anyway to restrict a default application choice to just the app I'm choosing it from and not a blanket choice for when I'm opening a link in an app? Thanks!
