Hi all, I am pleased to announce you that I have published my first App on the Google Play Store.
Let me introduce the App
Briefly, it is an utility which let you refuse an incoming call and immediately call your contact back by showing an overlay button over the screen.
From a developer's point of view, the most challenging issue was to be able to show an overlay Android's View over the smartphone's system screen which is able to react to button's events and can be moved by drag&drop in any position of the screen. At the same time, all the widgets under the floating view are able to react to their events as well.
Feel free to ask for coding details if you are interested in this topic.
Your feedbacks and suggestion on how to improove the App are welcome too!
Best Regards
barban

Official Description on Google Play Store
Fast Callback Free - Call your contacts back by just one tap
How many times in a day you refuse an incoming call from your relatives or your friends just to call them back? This is a very common task when you wish to take advantage of a more convenient mobile phone contract or just let your contacts not to pay when they call you.
When you receive a call this App shows an overlay button that let you refuse the call and immediately call your contact back; everything just by tapping one button! You can choose for which contacts the call-back function is available as well as the button's style, size and position in order to let the overlay button fit perfectly with respect to the screen which is shown by your smartphone when you receive a call.
This is the FREE version of the Callback App: it may display Ad at the end of the call started by the call-back function. If you wish, buy the Callback App for avoiding Ads.

Hello world!
As a developer, i know that you have always wanted to see all the comments of your applications.
This is quite difficult with android market, because you can only browse data in the langage of your phone.
With appstats, you will be able to browse all the comments of all langage ( 6 for now) and know what people think of your application.
My application was buggy last month, but now all is OK and you can browse now all the informations you want.
Please consider leaving good comments, because after the problems last month, i see my application loosing it's precious stars.

Hello, i just rewrited the application with an API and I do not depend on other website.
This app is now working alone and pretty fast.
I will continue working on it, feel free to send me feedback!
Note:
I am connecting with a dummy email adress and I don't know how Google will accept that, maybe this account will be blocked soon, I don't know how does Cyrket, androlib and all website make their connection, but I hope I won't have problem.)
So maybe my app won't work in a few days!
No feedback? O know that the app stopped working for month and I lost all my stats in the android market, but I have now 800 active users and still no feedback and my ratings on the market didn't change for month?
Please tell me if something wrong happen while I will be working on the UI.
New update in the Market: allow you to see the total number of rating and some bugs corrected.
Still no feedback
Please tel me something about this app...
It looks nice, how do I add a bookmark? BTW, you have this bug, when loading the comments and changing ur phone orientation to landscape or portrait you get a force close.
The easy solution is to add this to that activity:
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
This happens also when searching for an app.
Hope this helps. Another thing is that the comments loading takes some time, it would be cool if this would be faster if possible.
Nice Tool.
Why is it limited to the last 10 ratings per language?
PS. There is a typo when choosing the language. (it says: Choose your langage)
Please add more languages and make number of comments configurable. Otherwise it's a useful application.
Would be also nice to have optional background periodic updates with notifications. Google translation on comments tap would be cool feature too.
Pity there is no source available, I'd fork it otherwise and add the features I need plus more cleaner UI.

Hi XDA community!
Our first app PhoneLeash is on the Android Market (free).

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I like to call it the "misplaced phone app" since its meant for the more common occurrence of your phone simply not being near you, rather than being stolen.
PhoneLeash has features for finding your lost phone (or at least confirming where you think you left it) while also letting you know who is calling/texting meanwhile. Its not trigger happy (yet!) about wanting to wipe all the data the minute you see your phone isn't with you
We are trying to get the right balance of features, here is what we have now:
GPS locating
SMS/missed call forwarding to email or phone
Reply to SMS
Low battery alert
Remote ring
Privacy (no website tracking your phone)
Battery life -- after all you won't be using these features much of the time, so why have features that constantly drain your battery.
Unique feature - With PhoneLeash you can (remotely) reply to an SMS, and it goes out from your phone - the other side simply cannot tell the difference. While new and unique, we want to make sure we keep it simple to use. Speaking of simplicity, all of PhoneLeash fits in 1-2 spartan screens.
We've tested with Go SMS, Handcent to make sure PhoneLeash works with their default settings. PhoneLeash can also forward to HeyWire SMS numbers as well.
We found out that some tablets (Galaxy 8.9) do SMS but no telephony, so those are supported now as well.
If you can give it a try, we'll be very thankful. And ask for features - maybe they'll happen!
Thanks!
PVS, GearAndroid
www dot gearandroid dot com
Here is a link and some screencaps of the new features in v 1.5
I am not a Twitter-user (tweeter?) but just used PhoneLeash to send in my first tweet from my phone. Sent this SMS from Google Voice to my PhoneLeash-ed phone-- "40404 here's a random tweet"--and by magic it showed up in my Twitter account!
on i 9000?
Is it available on samsung galaxy i 9000?
Very cool. I will test it out soon.

No discouragement intended, but most of the stuff you've written down is possible with Google Assistant; With the exception of adding numbers into the contacts (which is redundant anyway or not entirely useful at all).
So yeah, you're app in fact does try to resemble a voice-triggered assistant. Thing is, you can just call GA and ask it for the same stuff and it'll pop the results instead of first opening your app and then clicking on the specific tile to launch f.e. Google Search.
Again, no discouragement intended, but the app just doesn't seem to have actual productivity value in it.
People can always use the dedicated app for the required service and those usually have Voice Search.
Nice! Working!
Thread cleaned.
