I want to make a make a simple app

Hi ,
I Have a very good idea for an app that is rather simple but very useful. It involves simply a Specific picture which you can zoom and pan around then there are a few text boxes I want included in the app to search.
For example , A route finder that is already on the internet. You enter the details on the box on the computer then the results come up. But i want the boxes off the website and instead linked to my app , then the results appear on my app. So a search function is possible via the application.
The problem is I am a total newbie to codes etc and haven't got a clue where to start in the least. The app is very simple and an experienced person could create it in know time but I am a newbie and willing to learn to create some useful apps to put on the market free for all to share.
Thanks

Have a look at the Android Developers website
Hi ,
Thanks for that , I've had a look but it is so so confusing :S
Oh yes , and if it counts I'm going to be using windows vista to create the app?? Is there possibly a beginners guide to creating these apps or what??
Oh yes and I have now got one part sorted (sort of) , I will use the image viewer already on the phone to allow the scrolling and zoom of the image.
Anyone got an idea how long it would approximately take to create such an app??

[Q] HTTP GET request via Llama w/o opening browser

Hello,
I'd like to figure out a way to use Llama to send an HTTP GET request to my home automation system. In particular I wish to turn the power to the charger on and off based on battery percent as this tablet will be mounted on a wall. Since Llama seems to require opening of the browser to do this, I'm assuming this would require another app. My question is, does one exist? I just want a shortcut that will execute a HTTP request in a completely invisible fasion. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have the same request. Do you find a solution?

Yes. I wrote my own little app that will create shortcuts. It's not in the Play store but I could try to send it to you if you'd like.
I find a solution with the app Tasker. This app could send an Http request but i have other issue. The better way will be to make my own app. If you could send me your version, it will be a great help for starting.

I just sent you an email with the apk attached. I just downloaded the Tasker trial and wasn't super impressed. Perhaps if it were free I would've made use of it but I enjoyed the opportunity to learn a little about Android development. What was your issues with Tasker?
Let me know if my app works for you.
Hello !
I'm also looking for a similar solution.
I use Llama and I need to update my Android GPS location through a HTTP POST.
I really don't want to use tasker... Do you have clues for me ? I'm able if needed to create an APK.
Thanks !

The little app I wrote is only designed to make a static HTTP request. In other words, it won't be able to read any Llama variables or anything like that. However, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to modify the app to support what you're looking to do. I could send you the source code privately if you promise to send me back your changes.
@mrceolla Could you send me the app and source code. I shall send back any changes I do.

Looking for app

Hello people,
I'm looking for a app but can't find it anywhere yet.
The app that was the closest to what i need is SignMyPad.
But this is to difficult.
What it has to do is; Open a (not fillable) PDF - Ask for my Name - Ask for my Signature (handwritten) then it has to put that 2 things on the down-right corner (maybe customable by settings or something (not ever time)) - then it has to put it to my mail program (and if possible fill in the reciever email in mail program, so i only have to click send (email is 1 time setting, not every time)).
Maybe someone here can tell me where i can find this, or if it is even possible to get it created or something.
Thank you very Much.

Screen Capture with Web Address

Hi, I used to be able to capture (Screen Shot) a page I was on, and it also grabbed the Web Site address I got it from and attached it into a Text or Forum Post I would be posting or using. I didn't download any particular app to do this, it was something that was Stock. I can't seem to find this feature anymore for some reason. This feature might not be suitable to most, but for me, at certain times, it was very beneficial. Does anyone know of the setting or app that did this?
I was not rooted when I did this, nor am I now.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ for AT&T
EDIT: I searched for days for my answer, only After I posted this post, I was able to find my answer. It's the Android Operating System Screenshot tool But for anyone else that wants this feature, you need to open up Google Search & go to your Google Settings, Then go to General, then down to Edit & Share Screenshots.

APP that keeps unfocused apps focused

Hello guys, I've accessed this forum for many years now, and always found answers for all my Android related questions. Now the time has come that I have a question that I cannot seem to find a solution to and have decided to create a account and ask the best forum for help.
So what I want to know is if there is an app that can keep my game running on the background just as if it were on the foreground. I know a lot of you have played a game where there is an auto attack option and if you leave it on 24/7 you will get more levels, items and stuff. I've searched a lot and didn't find a good solution what I did find was this floating app that claims to kind of do what I want but I need to connect to a computer with adb everytime I want it to work. The name of the app is floating apps I can't post the link yet because my account is noobish but will update.
So guys is there an app or perhaps some way to edit the .apk so that it works like that?
Anyone? Maybe if I rooted my device?
