[Q] Creating an App

I want to create an app for a forum that I visit a lot, problem is I don't know where to start. I want it to kinda do what the app for this site does, Pulls new threads, news topics so on... Thanks in advance for the directions.

There is an app called Tapatalk for that. Just check whether the forum is supported or not. If not just ask the forum's owner to apply the plugin. You don't need to go all the way to app dev for that.

[Completed] Few Questions related to this site.

I have installed the XDA aPP to be able to browse this forums quickly on my note 3.
But.. How can i re-arrange the list of visible forums..
there are lot of forums which I do not want to see in the search results as well while browsing.
Is it possible to delete/hide some forums, so those do not come into search results when searching and also not listed.
This option should be better for advanced users. :good:

Hi,
Just subscribe to the sections and threads you do want to follow, and only those will appear in the subscription tab in the app. ?

[Completed] [Q] How are you using XDA on mobile?

I've found the mobile site frustrating to view because it jumps around and takes ages to load. All the Android apps I can find for XDA force you to scroll through ten thousand unrelated forums to find the one you need in a seemingly randomly organized list.
Surely there must be some decent way to use a forum dedicated to mobile devices on a mobile device? Just curious how other people are doing it.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. In the mobile app go to forums. Scroll down to the forum(s) you want to subscribe to and long press on it. Then subscribe to it. Then check your favorites in the mobile app. You should find the forums you subscribe to there.

Good Day guys
How do I get notified as soon as any new posts appear in a forum I am interested in ?, that being "Huawei MediaPad X2" forum.
I have the XDA android app, can it be done using that? or by using some automation app such as IFTTT?
Would be great to know as soon as some new content is posted automatically instead of manually checking through all the threads in the forum.
Many thanks

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
You can be automatically notified of new activity in the forum(s) of your choice by using the "subscribe" feature. You can do so from the XDA App's menu or by clicking on the "subscribe forum" link from your browser while viewing the forum. You can manage your subscribed threads from your User Control Panel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php.
For matters dealing with how best to use the XDA Developers site, you may want to browse the "About xda-developers.com" forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda.
I hope this was helpful.

[Completed] Support for the official XDA forum app?

Hi,
I am looking for the right place to get support for the official XDA developer app on android.
I could not identify where I can get this here on the site.
I looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps
and here: http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-android-app/
but neither provided a clear location where to ask questions about the app.
My question is how to add favorite forums/threads in the app (or on the web for that matter). There is a heart symbol on top the the app screen and I have no idea how to use that.
thanks!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
You can subscribe to any forum or thread. To do that from the mobile app, simply click on the start (or heart) symbol that appears on the status bar while you're viewing that forum or thread, or long-press on the thread/forum name and select "subscribe" from the menu.. To view your subscribed threads from a browser, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php. For each subscription, you can select various options such as whether you want to be informed of new post by email weekly, daily, immediately or not at all. If you select not to be notified, the subscribed threads/forums become a list of "favorites" to which you can refer quickly. For matters dealing with the xda-developers.com site or any of it components and tools, visit the "About xda-developers.com" forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda. If you have specific questions about the XDA Android Apps, ask in the "XDA Android App - Problems / Bugs / Feature Requests etc." thread there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841646.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply & help! I was not aware that "favorites" = "subscriptions". I was looking for another button to make a forum a favorite. It's clear now.
