[Q] Amateur develop. Please Help - General Questions and Answers

Hey, I was planning on developing an app for the android phone (or maybe iPhone too). Does anyone know if there is anyway that I can develop an application that allows me to send a notification to the smart phone user when a screenshot has been taken. Kind of like it is in snapchat. Or would this kind of application have to be built into the back of the phone.
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Noob needs help to create event calendar app

Hi all,
I'm a noob app developer trying to do it for the first time. I'm trying to create an event calendar app for company's internal purposes. So that everyone in the company (which uses a lot of android phones) can be updated on company events that are coming up.
My approach is to create a database with MySQL for events input, and to use PHP to connect the database which is in a server and to push it to the android devices that are used in the office as that's how I found it in a tutorial from HelloAndroid.
My questions are:
1. is this the best approach to create such app?
2. Can I use Android's default calendar to input these events? if not is there some kind of calendar template that I can use to display the information to the users.
Probably will have more questions as I progress, but please help if anyone is more experienced in these matters than I am.
Thank you very much, and really appreciate the inputs that I'm gonna get
A simple solution would be to use Google Calendar.
By using GC you can add/edit events either from a PC (work or home) or your Mobile anywhere in the World.
All that is required is for someone to first set up the calendar on Google and push it out to all those who you want to see it.
This way you are not isolating anyone who does not have an Android Phone.
that's a really good point. Especially in a closed environment like an office. I didn't think of that before. THank you very much.
However, if let's say I want to try to build an app for that for public use, not just confined to limited numbers of people in a company.
Would that be the best approach or if there's any better way to approach it. I may decide to build the app after all just to learn and gain experience in app development.
thanks again for the feedback, really appreciate it.
I can't really give you advice on developing an App sorry.
All I can say is the method I mention is the one which I use to keep all my Operational Team (Surgeons/Doctors/Nurses/Admin/etc) updated and advised.
There's nothing short in you developing your own Calendar App but you would have to ensure it would be available to all and that includes anyone anywhere regardless of the fact they are at work, home, holiday, with Android or not, have a Phone, PC, Mac, etc... etc...
For that there's already a stable tool by the name of Google Calendar.
If you do develop one I'd still be interested in seeing what ideas you could bring into practice that would have a benefit over GC.
I understand your point of view, and actually you got me thinking, maybe if I really want to do the apps, I can create an app that calls the Gcalendar events, and display it from the app. I can find out the API to do that, and that would be much simpler.
Thank you again for your input, really appreciate i

No problem.... I wish you well on your venture.
Do please let us all know how you get on.. You never know, if it becomes that good I may even use it myself over the stock calendar App or any of the other's that already link to GC.

Privacy Ace App: Is it any good?

Hello Friends,
My name is Ivaylo and I am new to the forum. I decided to make a registration, because I wanted to ask for some help from you guys. For the past few weeks, I have been looking for an app that can help me protect my personal information (Facebook, Phone gallery, Call logs, etc.) on my smartphone (currently using Samsung Galaxy S5). I have tried quite a few free apps from Google Play such as AppLock, Smart AppLock and the like. Among those, I came across this app called Privacy Ace. To be honest, I liked the design and interface of Privacy Ace. Both very pretty simple and user friendly. On the other hand the other apps I tried (i.e. Smart AppLock) offer more features (i.e. 'Observer' feature; if someone tries to access your phone and enters the wrong password a few times, the app takes a picture of that person and later on you can see who has tried to break into your phone). However Smart AppLock, for example, has kind of a clustered interface. It was really difficult for me to find out how to use the various features of the app. I really got frustrated while trying to figure out how to use it. I am not the most intelligent person, but I know how to use smartphones, if you know what I mean. Still I am looking for something that is simple to use and can get the job done.
So my question basically is: has anyone else tried Privacy Ace and is it any good? How is the app performance-wise? Should I give it a try? Feel free to suggest other apps of the same type too.
Thanks for the help in advance
Cheers
Ivaylo

Whatsapp - Profile visitor

Hello, I have been researching a little about an application which notifies the user when someone has visited your profile in whatsapp. I saw that there was an app called "wrevealer" for iphone(cydia) that did just this. My question is, are there any apps that currently do this for Android devices? If not, how hard would it be to make such an application? I know that there would be a huge demand for it, seeing as the majority would really like to see who and how many times someone visits your profile.
It would be appreciated if someone could answer even if such an app does not exist to just tell me if it is possible and how much of a challenge it would be building such an application.

URGENT HELP: Samsung S7 edge: small change in firmware/custom rom required. (Payable)

HELP REQUIRE
I have installed Airdroid app on my kids Samsung s7 edge in order to use Airdroid Mirror feature to monitor activity. It was working very well. Since my child is tech savey and this discover the software and uninstalled from the phone. Now I don't have access to his phone anymore. Child is using Instagram Direct messaging service for chatting or doing annoying photos exchange. As child is tech savy they chat on instagram and delete chat messages immediately.
REQUIREMENT: I WANT TO MIRROR MY CHILD PHONE SCREEN WITH MY LAPTOP/MOBILE WITHOUT DISCOVERING THE APP (totally hidden)
Somebody suggest that a good android expert can modify firmware so that Airdriod icon will not be visible and this will also not shown under application list. Totally hidden or stealth.
Is any body can help to to develop this or alternately suggest any other solution to replicate kid mobile screen remotely to laptop/mobile. The phone is rooted and I can flush the stock firmware

There's probably a better way to educate your child to be safe and responsible on the internet than to spy on him/her without his/her knowledge. He/she has a right to privacy. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone constantly spied on you without your knowledge. And your child wouldn't like it either.
i understand the message but its a need for specific purpose
I could be wrong, but I doubt any of the dev's here would do anything like this. There are far too many risks associated with supporting such a request.
