Presenting "agrep" an app to search text within multiple files any possible extension or no extension. Please find it playstore. Small cute app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.sblo.pandora.aGrep
Its not my app. It is product of jota open source text editor creator.
agrep app is similar to grep command in unix. Those who know the command line is extremely app powerful and fast while gui is limited in options like you cannot pipe multiple command in gui it but supports regular expressions.
If anybody finds please share it with me in this thread.
Windows search nowhere near grep and zgrep in speed in my personal opinion. Unfortunately you need to index in windows.
I know one more command "zgrep" to search compressed files without extracting. No gui app for android in playstore.
I stumbled upon this utility to search huge 8 mb hosts file of "mother of all ad blocking thread". You will be surprised when none of apps were able to open due to memory issues in my S5360. Jota, 920 text editor, ES file text viewer, king soft office word all failed. They do not cache huge files design flaw.
I used agrep to search specific host.
Pressing THANKS easier than typing.

Hey I want to be able to edit an ini file on my phone. As a standard microsoft operating system, Pocket PC's don't come with basic functionality built in and you have to hunt around for some obscure program every time you need to perform some simple task.
So I downloaded a text editor called writepad which should be able to do the trick, unfortunately writepad's (and the default windows mobile) file chooser dialog is completely worthless and allows you to select from a small number of arbitrary files. It shows directories but you can't even navigate into them (wow. Really?).
So here is the question - is there a simple free text editor out there that allows you to perform super advanced futuristic tasks like editing a plaintext file?
I withdraw my question. I found that total commander did the trick nicely.
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.

I'm developing this kind of application, but i'v just started on it
Here it is
SQLator beta 0.1
Hope that give me more feedbacks
HouWWari.
This is probably a noob question, but how can you view the coding of an android application? I just had a small test app developed for me and I would like to look at the "guts" of it.
I downloaded the emulator but I haven't been able to figure out how to see my app's code using it. Maybe there is another way that's easier? You know, something akin to the "view page source" tab enabled in many browsers that allows you to see an html page's code?
I tried opening it with TextEdit on my Mac but it says its not readable.
What's an easy way to take a look at/edit the code?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Android-apktool
Android-apktool - A tool for reengineering Android apk files ...
http: / / code.google.com/p/android-apktool
It is a tool for reengineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.
It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with authors of an app, that you use and probably like.

Thank guys, however it says it can't be found - see this screencast I recorded: screencast.com/t/kII8UcBqE1RQ
Any ideas?
I feel like it can't be that complicated, but there is almost no info about in on Google...
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.
The native text editor on CyanogenMod 12 is launched by selecting a file using the File Manager app. It might be the same app, I don't know.
I would like to make it use Windows line-endings (CR+LF) rather than Unix line endings (LF).
Furthermore, it when I export files from the handset to Windows, all bullet characters (ASCII decimal #149) show up as 3 characters (�, image attached). This is regardless of whether I drag it over using the Windows Explorer interface (MTB USB) or adb pull. Obviously, I want the bullet symbol rather than 3 unrelated characters.
Is there any way to customize the native text editor to behave like Windows text editors?
For context, I just use text files for notes without having to install a non-native app e.g. Notes & Tasks for Microsoft Exchange. If possible, I'm also trying to avoid external text editor apps (basically, apps in general). The reason why I seek compatibility with vim/Windows is because I use vim and Cygwin's diff to sync the files between the handset and the laptop.
Since my text editing needs on the handset are so minimal, I don't need powerful editor that supports code development. I was hoping that there would user settings on the phone for things like line endings and proper interpretation of bullets. I wasn't sure whether those settings would be specific to the editor or OS.
In fact, I wasn't sure that the editor was a separate app (from the file manager or the OS). Using adb to issue a "ps" in the handset did not show any difference in processes between when I was editing a file vs when I was not (at least in the process names, though the process numbers did change), so I haven't been able to identify a separate editor app.
This might be an inaccurate way to suss out the app, since I hear that unless more memory is needed by active apps, smart phone OSs tend to keep apps in memory rather than actually terminatimg the processes. Not something I'm familiar with.

Better you can use POSIX based text editors in Windows, so that you can retain the collation and formatting.
Otherwise, you can try text converters like dos2unix ( it's available online I guess) to get it work in your phone
I use cygwin & vim. I still have the issue with corrupted bullet characters.
There is an advantage to defaulting to DOS type text files. Vim can handle DOS text files, although it is a paim to search & replace the odd character corruptions. In contrast, DOS text editors can't handle Unix text files. So you can be stuck if your text files are unix by default.
As for dos2unix, I sometimes pipe all vim buffer content through that rather than searching & replacing. I still need to fix the corrupt bullet characters. I don't want to do that for all text files when syncing between handset and laptop. To me, the most efficient solution seems to be to maintain vim/dos style text files on the handset.
