okay, hey guys, so i have my own website and i have developed a mobile version of my site but wanted to import this into a actual .APK file? how do I do this? instead of creating one from scratch as there is no need, i already have the mobile version programmed.
You will need to make an android app that is built around your site.

Not without some app wrapped around it. Depending on the type of site you could use some of the apps already out there for things like forums.

Oh i see, last question, as my site has now become literally like an application for mobile/tablet users, could I take the mobile url for my site and paste it into an application so my website loads it in a webrowser almost? if that makes sense, so your actually suffering the web in my application but its in a actual APK file.

I'm site you could use a web browser hook but it would open what ever browser the user uses. Unless you build your own web browser app

PrinterShare ( mobile Dynamix) finds and prints to the available wifi / lan printers. Works on mine. They have drivers for most printers, and a bunch of generic drivers. The evaluation copy is free, but only prints a test page, which lets you verfiy that it can print.

My Fault, didn't have it in front of me.
how difficult would it be for the community to come together an develop an open source app to print? i haven't played with android development at all yet, but this seems like a pretty important function to make android more useful
i wonder if bits of other open source printing projects might carry over and cross compile? not really familiar with the sdk yet

tbh you could probably just set up and ftp server on ur computer and make a folder called "printme" or something and then make an app that will act whenever that folders contents change and will print the file and then remove the file from the folder and you have a makeshift ftp print server lol then just use any of the many FTP programs for android to throw files on there
found this:
http://www.technospot.net/blogs/how-to-continuously-auto-print-files-in-a-directory/
maybe that will help, just use that app to make it print anything in your "printme" directory and then also make it an ftp folder so that when you throw something into it over FTP it will print it...ill try it when i get home
I remember seeing that with FROYO we could link to Google Chrome and auto transfer files from the PC to our phone wireless over WIFI. Has anyone got this to work?

I didn't find the directions too difficult to follow...though they didn't really make it very clear that the apk needs to be registered first.
However, even though I register the app on my phone with my email address, my computer still says unregistered. Any ideas? I'm using google apps with a custom domain. It took my login, it just said it was unregistered...
Good guide EkostonS. I got it working. But uhm what's the purpose for this chrome-phone extension? It just opens up the link on the phone? Perhaps I am missing the bigger picture, haha.

you must login to that for this to recognize to send.
and the point is to send things from your comp to your phone.
such as, MAPS, LINKS, VIDEOS
watching youtube video and ur leaving? send to your phone.
want to bookmark a site on your phone ur viewing on ur pc? send to your phone
and one of my fav's
want to download a cd torrent on your phone? download a torrent app on your phone, send the link from pc to phone and download !
works great with maps

Is there any Lynx-like browser for Android? I don't mind if it runs in the terminal or whatever, but I reckon it would do my limited data quota a massive favour.

Have you tried Opera Mini? If you are worried about your data usage, I think you'll love its server-side compression technology. Well, depending in what are your feelings about your browsing privacy.
I know I can disable images, and yes, I tried a couple of browsers with server-side compression, but I was really hoping for the plain simplicity of a Lynx-like app. Thanks for the replies so far!

The other thing you might consider is RSS. I read a lot of websites like this. Most major news websites now support RSS. Good luck. Lynx is hard to read and manage as it was designed for an earlier implementation of the web.
I wonder if it isn't easy to do since 1) it's all open source and 2) it should be a textbook JNI port...

There are some instructions here, in chinese. If anyone does get a working binary, let us know;
http://www.embedu.org/Column/Column294.htm
Update: I followed the instructions, and it works. Here are the results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16050683
I read through the instructions... Very nice and detailed directions there! However, they're not even using the NDK, they're compiling an ARM executable for Lynx (so if we go that route, the result would be a binary that has to be run from terminal emulator).
Food for thought...
Binary compiled successfully!
Done it!
I just followed the instruction from the chinese professor, and it works fine for me. I have created a tread for it at:

TextOnly browser for android which displays only content from the article by stripping ads,scripts and images
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spacenext.textonly
There was something i used to do when i was browsing using an old Nokia dumbphone that might help.
Type the following into your address bar:
http://www.google.com/xhtml
Now search for the site you want to visit, i.e xda-developers, and click on the link. You should now be seeing it in a low data format. It's not pretty but it works pretty well on a mobile browser.
If you want you can then bookmark the site as it is, so that it will still have that formatting when you return to it next. Obviously, for every site you want to visit you have to go through the above, but if you also bookmark the xhtml version of google you can always start your browsing session from there and just bookmark all your reformatted favourites as you go.
For that mobile view you can just use the "mobile view (GWT)" option in Dolphin Browser HD

Little Web Browser is pretty similar to Lynx. Free, but a HUGE fee if you want to get rid of the ads.
It is amazing how you'll always have at least one idiot in almost every forum who has no clue to what the correct answer might be but instead of shutting his ugly mug he tries to be a smart-ass and suggest a retarded "solution" that the OP had already discarded even before he asked. "Eh, why don't you disable images on Opera? (monkey squeaks)" ... well no ****tard, that's not a solution not even a proper answer to the question.
Hi All,
Microsoft is launched an application called on{X}.
This application is like tasker but it can do much more for novice users as it worked on Javascript and You will get the javascript code from any website so easily.
Installation Link
Type in google play : on{X}
Video Link
Type this on you Tube : on{X} - automate your life
Sorry for the links, as I'm not eligible to paste outside links in this forum.
Please comment and make me eligible

I would assume that with a larger user base (android), it'll give a nice boost to on{X}'s "recipes" which is always a great thing as it will serve as references to other platforms running on{x} in near future
Yield is everything when it comes to such approach (on{X})
Can someone tell me the huge different to tasker oder automateit? It looks like that its the same with programming instead of klicking?
There is just one thing I don't like on this app:
Facebook login and using my private data
Why such app need to do this, and why can't I use other login possibilities?(windows live, google etc?)

you cannot do as much with one ex as with tasker. also you need to do the recepies on your pc and then push to your phone and as retsam88 said, you have to log in via facebook. so, tasker is the better solution for me.

Hi,
There is a browser extension for PC like this one:
Autofill
The most popular autofill extension, boosting productivity since 2010.
chrome.google.com
That can auto fill text fields of your choosing and not just addresses or payments info. I am looking for a way to do that but on Android.
I'm not really too sure, but I know when I lightly searched running "browser extensions" on Android OS, while mobile Chrome won't run them, there are other browsers (don't ask me, I meant to research further which ones) that do implement extensions -- maybe you'll have some luck using those browsers that might have a similar/same extension....just an idea...
