[Q] open source alternative to airdroid - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I would like to ask if there is some open source alternative to airdroid/3cx droiddesktop? I really like these apps, but they miss some functionality I need.
Thanks

Which functionality are you referring to?
If you provide more specific detail, maybe you can get better help.

To be specific at this moment I need to remote control Google Play Music Application on one android device using some web interface (this is not supported by applications mentioned above, but I think it can be implemented if source codes were provided).
I know there are standalone applications, like Music Remote but none of them works for me at this moment.
I would like to find some open source project which provides functionality similar to airdroid, I mean remote management of android device using web interface, so I could extend it and create support for remote control of google play music app without having to implement whole interface.

Google Gears Beta is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using the following JavaScript APIs:
Local Server Store and serve application resources locally
Database Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database
Workerpool Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness
There is a developers site here:
http://code.google.com/apis/gears/
Am I missing your question? Or are you just trying something on the Internet with other users?
Would it hurt them to put some screenshots on the site??? Idiots

What would they put a screenshot of? Google gears is like an extension that allows online programs to work offline. There is not really any interface or whiz-bang control panel or anything.
As far as I know only buxfer and zoho writer are offering compatibility with it at this point. I signed up for buxfer and I have to say it's pretty slick. It allows you to store your bank credentials *locally* and use them automatically via gears. That's about the only function I would use as I don't see the point of looking at offline snapshots of your bank account.
If you want a screenshot post it yourself..Idiot.
I've developed uTrack, a tool to monitor the location of a WM powered device.

uTrack can be configured to use Google Gears GeoLocation feature if no GPS hardware is available, or the GPS hardware should be assisted.
Greetings,

[Q] WP7 Api Questions

Im new to WP7 and app making, so I want to find some things out about making apps for it before I decide to buy a device, Ive been making some small apps over the past few days using the emulator and found some things that i thought would be useful to make some kick ass apps).
1. Is there such api that will help me with finding locations of stores (example: if i request information on Walmart and my gps coordinates it returns a list of close walmarts and their locations).
2. Anyway to take control of certain system settings with permission from user? (change ringer profile on monday - friday 8 am - 5 pm to vibrate automatically)
3. Say I want to have an app that uses GPS and saves my location during a specific time, does that mean I have to have the app running in the foreground since microsoft does not allow people to have their apps run in the background, is this correct?
Thanks
1.no
2.no
3.no, not possible

1. So any app that has any sort of feature maintains its own database for store locations?
2. How about in the future? I know multi tasking will probably come but what about system settings and what not, do you think they will provide an API to work with if the user gives some sort of permission (like UAC in windows 7).
i think flat out responses that vetvito are more not quite true. my corrections to them would be these answers...
1. if there is a web version of this around or an app you see on iOS/Android which utilises GPS but uses an online database, it's quite easily doable on windows phone provided it uses simple HTTP web requests.
2. at this present, this isn't possible, that is for sure.
3. you are correct in your understanding. it does require being in the forground. if the app is running in the forground, it could easily do as you say provided it doesn't get put into tombstone state. it just requires the write coding done which is quite doable.

how were my answers wrong. You just provided workarounds that makes the app useless. Not worth the time or effort.
3. wouldn't work at all, it would be pointless.
1. may work, but it has to be simple.
1. Nothing like that is built into the platform, but there may be publicly available webservices for that. Here are some options
Yelp (http://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation)
Foursquare (http://developer.foursquare.com/)
Facebook Places (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/)
Google Places (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/#PlaceSearchRequests)
The WP7 API should support communication with these services.

XBMC Remote with Xperia Support

I love using my Xperia play as a remote for XBMC but I was feeling I could do so much more if I could use the physical buttons.
I have added support for most of the basic functionality in the 'remote control' screen, so a user can have a similar experience as controlling netflix from their ps3 controller.
But I need your support for getting this code merged into the mainstream branch. I submitted a pull request but the XBMC devs have not even looked at it.
You can find the code at:
https://github.com/cesarramirez/android-xbmcremote
An APK is also available at:
https://github.com/cesarramirez/android-xbmcremote/blob/master/release/XBMC%20Remote.apk?raw=true
If you guys like it(or maybe you dont like it but have some suggestions), I would like you to go to:
https://github.com/freezy/android-xbmcremote/pull/73
And post some comments so the devs know that people want this feature.
Hope you guys have fun!

[Q] App with Gestures - I need some ideas!

If you could use gestures in your apps: In what app you would use?
I'm working in a project about use gestures in apps (android, ios and web) with a simple-line code. So, i want implement this development in differents areas, but i need some suggestions.
My project is a software development kit to create gesture-driven apps across all platforms using an online editor and a plugin distribution system. Whether it’s a small or big app, whether it’s on iOS, Android or web, it enables developers and designers to effortlessly integrate gesture control into their applications and to create innovative user experience.
I have a music player with this project, if you want to see it, i can give you the link to download it and try!
Well, my question is: Where you think that this project will have potencial? Yes or No? And in which area?
Can you understand me?
Thanks everyone for the help!
Best Regards!

What is the best tool to start developing an app without coding?

Hi
We need to create an app that would basically play some videos and music. So it will have a media player, besides we need some customization for the screen that contains the player and for the player itself. It will also have the user profile screen where it will show some statistics (like, how many videos the user watched, how many days in a row they used the app, etc., and a calendar that displays the user's activity). Thus the app will also have a backend where all the user data will be stored. There will be also some functionality to choose specific videos depending on one's mood. We don't have a budget to order this work to a developer so we are looking for an app development platform. I saw, there are quite a few platforms available out there. But we need something powerful enough on the one hand but easy to learn on the other hand so that we could finish the app as quickly as possible. Can somebody suggest a platform for this task? It should be able to create apps for both Android and iOS.
you dont need to be good at programming but should have basic programming skills if you just want to make an app for you than you can use code from internet
Thank you for sharing with is this is really good for us .
