Hi, I'm not android developer.
I have a magazine website (built with php, mysql), magazine content is delivered using flash.
now I'm planning to change to html5 and css3 and at the same time, I would like to build an android app for the magazine.
I'm thinking I can build a hybrid app with native code then load the magazine content from my website's html5 and css3.
please advise where to start like tutorial page, book, video and etc. I know there are a lot to learn, but I do have some experience with html4, css, and javascript. That should make things a little bit easier.

Hi,
this is my first Android App, so please bear with me if there are still errors. It was a major task to start Android programming with such a tough idea, but well, I did not say I started programming with this app
DroidReader is a PDF Reader Application. It uses native code in the background, to be specific, it uses the MuPDF rendering software/library. I'm aware of existing closed source PDF readers and some approaches to do it all in Java. So this should be different as for now.
DroidReader is Free and Open Source Software (licence is GPL v3).
The App and its sources are available at Google Code:
http : // code.google.com / p / droidreader
The App is now (since v0.3) also available via SlideME.
(I'm sorry, I can't post a full link as of now, as I'm still a "new user" on this forum, despite reading it since years... so please remove the spaces for now, I think I'll get that settled soon.)
Note for users: This application needs a file manager in order to open PDF files. Generally, you should be able to use a file manager of your choice and just click on the PDF. If you want to use the "Open" menu item, then a filemanager that understands the openintent.org's PICK_FILE intent is needed, e.g. the OI File Manager.
This App needs at minimum the Android 1.5 platform.
Changelog:
v0.5: rewiring of code, noticeable to end user: smaller install footprint, better cmap handling, small changes & bug fixes
v0.4: support for automatic tilesize calculation, now it should work on bigger screens, too. Also there is now a configuration dialog that allows to specify the default zoom level.
v0.3: added an "about" dialog
v0.2: lots of improvements, UI slightly modified for easier navigation, zoom&rotation fully implemented, ability to open password-protected PDFs, CJK support, lots of bugfixes
v0.1: initial version, still very rough and not all that shiny and thus not yet in the Market. Download available on the project's homepage.
Please note that any comments are very welcome! You can comment in this thread (and I will try to answer any questions ASAP) or on the mailing list (see the project's home page).
Similar approach in another project
Hi again, I just became aware of a similar project (well, as I said: I did this to learn Android programming as well, so this doesn't mean my time was wasted). I hope that we can combine our efforts soon. It is also at Google Code (and I still cannot post Links) and it is called "Android PDF Viewer", and has a short Acronym which appears as project name in URLs: APV. It also uses the MuPDF library and is also GPLv3. Just for your information.
To have an android PDF reader with the capability to make annotation and highlights is the most important thing. Apple has that software called "iannotate" and it manages it perfect. Android should have one. Is ther any expert working on this?
Best reader for Pandigital Novel
DroidReader is the best PDF reader I've found for use on the Pandigital Novel (hacked). All the others require one to drag your finger to move from page to page. That isn't as handy as the next and previous buttons. Adobe's reader is useless because it doesn't let you jump to a page.
I wish you'd enhance DroidReader to remember the last page in a PDF. I've also found some pdfs it won't open, but Android PDF Viewer will. The problem with Android PDF Viewer is that it is SLOW (unless I'm using a different one than you are referring to). It is so slow that it is unusable on the Novel.
Thank you for the feedback. I think I can manage to finally hack a bit further on this and your suggestion is certainly among the easier things still in the pipeline. I got a bit distracted recently, but I'm still motivated to further improve Droidreader. Being distracted, I am also not very up-to-date as to what's the fastest PDF reader available... I think in about two weeks, some development efforts should been done... I'll update this thread then!
Hello, I am a developer... I have developed apps for android phones, and I simply want to put the same apps in the windows phone market... I successfully built the app in Visual Studio 2010 express for windows phone... I've tested it on the emulator... works same way it works on the android phone... Question: Do I need a windows phone at all in order to publish the app? Really don't see the need to buy one... Thank you for any help... Also if any one develops adult natured apps... Question: Have they had any problems publishing the app to the market as far as MS content guidelines? I've noticed that the majority of the other app markets feel the need to cut the "adult" themes out of their marketplaces... Thanks again...
it is not bad to have a win phone 7...lol...but i have not any problem with this...i can do evry thing with this...
If Its a paid app, im sure the buyers would like to have no problems and would like to know the devlpoers have tried and tested it and therfore you should invest in a phone. However the emulator is usually very accurate anyway.
Thank you for your responses... If I test the app via a xbox 360, do you think that would be good?

You need to register with Microsoft as a developer, pay $99.00 a year membership and then you can submit your apparently to the marketplace. There is no requirement to have the WP7 device.

You don't need a phone, and in my yet limited experience, some things works on the emulator and not in the phone. Is better if you send it to some testers and then publish it.
And you need a developer account that is 99$/y.
And adult apps are not allowed. Here is a extract from "Windows Phone 7 Application Certification Requirements":
3.6 Adult Related Content
Content not allowed:
Sex / Nudity – Images that are sexually suggestive or provocative (e.g. sexually provocative touching, bondage, masturbation); provocative images that reveal nipples, genitals, buttocks, or pubic hair.
Content that a reasonable person would consider to be adult or borderline adult content (images, text, or audio).
Content that generally falls under the category of pornography.
Content that depicts or suggests prostitution.
Content depicting sexual fetishes.
Content of a sexual nature depicting children or animals.
And no, you cannot try the apps on xbox.

No I didn't (Why you ask?) But Im going to do so now! (Curiosity )
EDIT: Ok ok I see, but no, he asked for adult apps on marketplace on #1 so I put that adult information.
I have a WordPress site that I am wanting to enclose in an android app and I wanted to see if there was a way I could use some sort of a wrapper for this? I looked at feed.nu and it is good, but it does not allow me to use all the functionality of my WordPress site.
Thanks,
Adam
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

Thanks MrRiko, we are a team of android developers, currently focused on improving the app(fixing bugs) and adding more features so we can't give SEO tips. If you however wanna convert your website to an android native mobile app then we can help you
True GlenCurtis, that is why we wanna make it simpler with this app, it may not be perfect but we are getting there
