UC Browser unveils open add-on platform for Android
UCWeb, a leading provider of mobile internet software and services, has just launched the 9.2 version of UC Browser for Android, unveiling an open add-on platform to achieve an advanced personalized browsing experience. With the announcement the company plans to draw upon its user base of 400 million users and work with app developers to develop this open add-on platform
With this 9.2 version, UC Browser provides an open add-on platform that allows users to customize the functions of their browsers. Add-ons can be added or removed as you please. The first group of individual add-ons can be seen on the panel. Four of them have been made especially to meet the needs of a large amount of users. Their features are as follow:
Facebook photo uploader: This add-on shares your photos to Facebook much more easily, and allows you to upload multiple photos at once. An added benefit to this add-on is that it can turn on the function of Facebook push notifications, so you don’t miss any message from your friends.
Save web pages as PDF: To cater to a growing need for saving high quality mobile web pages, UC Browser has created an add-on that allows you to save webpages as PDF files to better preserve their content and allow for easier file transferring. These files can be quickly accessed through the browser’s Download Management system.
File Unzip: Helps you open RAR or ZIP files on your phone. They can be extracted with the ‘Unzip’ add-on.
Webpage Translator: Taking advantage of the Google Translate and Bing system, this add-on supports more than 70 languages, allowing you to break through almost all the language barriers you need! This add-on supports both whole page translation and individual word translation.
News for developers:
The add-on platform is expected to be officially open to third party developers soon. This opening aims to encourage more third party developers to create a wide array of customized feature add-ons for UC Browser. With a user base of over 400 million users, the add-on platform offers the opportunity for each of these users to enjoy a more personalized mobile browsing experience catering to each of their specific needs.
The add-on platform enables a bi-direction communication between UC Browser and the Android system’s services. In this environment, data sharing is much easier, and the UC Browser API has been standardized, making it more accessible to third party developers via SDK. Programs created by developers can be used in all operating scenarios of UC Browser.
The platform was developed on the basis of feedback of users, and research on users’s favorites. For example, they did a survey to capture users’ favorite behaviors on mobile browser includes SNS and news reading, and that was the insight behind releasing the Facebook Photo Uploader and Webpage Translator. The spokesperson for UC Browser says they get much feedback everyday from Facebook, customer service systems and email. There are periodic surveys also done to know more about users’ favorites from time to time. The browser is currently free and they do not have any plans to charge for the service.

I liked UC Browser when flash was native.

Hello XDA'lers,
I'm proud to present you my latest app, called OpenOffice Document Reader.
Boring part about its history following... Feel free to skip it if you are lazy like me
I've already released it a few months ago out of frustration that there's NO native OpenOffice (LibreOffice) viewer for Android out there. However, first versions contained a lot of bugs, were slow and simply... bad.
Then, I started working together with my colleague Andi and rapidly improved the app a lot (from 3 to 4 stars average rating in Android Market) and seeked some interest from an Australian wine company, the official OpenOffice.org project and others.
However, let's go on with the interesting stuff...
OpenOffice Document Reader, Android's first native OpenDocument viewer, features most of the things you'll demand from a viewer, including zoom, copying, text search and other little gadgets almost none of you will ever use.
Originally it was meant to integrate seamlessly into the Android system (no icon in the launcher, no built-in file chooser), but since I mostly respect my user's opinion I've added both of the features I never planned to add (namely an icon in the launcher and a built-in file chooser - contributed by David).
Otherwise you're still able to open your documents using other apps, like GMail, Dropbox, Box.net, the official stock Android browser and others... (please keep reporting me what apps you're using to open your documents!)
That's it. I can't wait to read how you like it.
If you didn't already download it while reading this: Download at Android Market!
Maybe one thing I should add: Yes, we're working on editting. Hopefully Andi, TomTom and I can get it working soon for you.
Have a nice and open-sourcy day
Tom
PS: Yes, this is - and will be for ever - free open-source software released under GPL or something like that. Feel free to fetch the code at GitHub and don't forget to take a look at the underlying library called JOpenDocument by Andi.
PPS: Sorry for the awful amount of hyperlinks, but they tell you more than thousands of words.
ActionComplete family of productivity applications based on David Allen's GTD methodology just grew larger with the addition of ActionComplete Pro for Android - a commercial version of the popular ActionComplete application for Android phones.
At the same time the free version of ActionComplete for Android has been overhauled and both commercial and free web versions of ActionComplete have received major updates.
At the core of ActionComplete is management of four types of tasks: Actions (next actions in GTD parlance), Waits (Waiting for), Projects, and Ideas (Someday/Maybe).
The tasks can be assigned three types of metadata: tags, people, and places. Together the metadata form a context that can be easily filtered upon.
People are Google Contacts and the contact record linked to a task can be readily accessed right from ActionComplete applications for Android phones.
Places in ActionComplete allow to attach location context to the tasks. Vicinity view available in ActionComplete applications for Android shows the tasks that can be done nearby and suggests geographical features with names similar to ActionComplete place names. E.g. if there are tasks linked to places "WalMart" and "Starbucks" the Vicinity view will show all nearby WalMarts and Starbucks. From there one can view the Google map of a particular location and use a wide array of functions provided by Google Maps such as GPS-based navigation and user reviews.
ActionComplete web apps are rich Internet applications. They provide sophisticated user interface characteristic of desktop applications while being available via a browser from any Internet-connected computer, notebook, netbook, or tablet.
ActionComplete 2 web applications sport a menu-based user interface and add a number of new features such as export/import to/from comma-separated values (CSV) files and export to printer-friendly HTML format that can be used for printing and reports.
The free version of ActionComplete for Web supports the core functionality of ActionComplete. The commercial version of ActionComplete for Web, known as ActionComplete Pro for Web, adds a few essential elements. It's ad-free and all-HTTPS for better web traffic security. The commercial version has the integrated view of Google Calendar for better visibility of the "hard landscape", which is a GTD term for tasks that should be done at a particular day or time of the day. Also specific to the paid version are 2-column dashboard layout and export to printer-friendly HTML. ActionComplete Pro for Web runs $19.99/year.
ActionComplete applications for Android provide ActionComplete functionality on the go. They leverage a number of smartphone hardware features, such as location awareness and voice input, to enrich the users experience and provide unique application features.
The Vicinity view described above is available in both free and paid versions of ActionComplete for Android.
In addition to that ActionComplete Pro for Android supports voice entry for tasks. ActionComplete not only allows one to say the task name. It also understands places, due dates, and reminder times. E.g. saying "paper towels at walmart or target" will produce a task "paper towels" and link it to places "walmart" and "target" creating them as needed. One can also say something like "call john on March 5 at 1430". That will create a task "call john", assign it due date of March 5, and create a reminder on March 5 at 2:30PM.
ActionComplete Pro for Android comes with a configurable widget that can be setup to show Actions, Waits, Projects, or Ideas. The widget allows the same operations as the main application right from the phone home screen.
ActionComplete Pro is ad-free and costs $4.99. It's available at Android Market.
ActionComplete for Android is available at Android Market at no charge.
Both ActionComplete Android applications can seamlessly synchronize with both ActionComplete web applications so a user can choose a combination of free and/or paid application on their phone and the web that works best for him or her.

GTD for Android and Web
I used to be excited about ActionComplete but since the update and the abandonment of 2.1 I'm using SpringPad full time for GTD and it works awesome and looks beautiful.
Thanks for the update

hit thanks if i helped you :good:
In developing countries one of the main problems aspiring web developers might face is the high cost of purchasing a laptop and getting a stable internet connection also in developed countries, lack of cell signals in the subway can pose a problem when you want to quickly edit a website(as a freelancer) as most website builders are online (wix, boomer, wordpress etc).
With OVO Web this can now be done offline and in the palm of your hands. This app attempts to edit website templates in a process I call "touch and edit" where HTML elements are clicked (on the rendered template) and their css properties/HTML contents are edited. Edited template can be published to local drive folder, ftp server or github pages .The app also comes bundled with free responsive template to get you started.
Do share your thoughts, complaints, bugs, and ways to make the app better
