How to make a shortcut to a phone contact with a photo? Maybe known is a widget that supports phone contacts?
You mean you want to make a one touch shortcut on your watch to call someone?
Exactly, but if will be possible to let example for 4 contacts.
its mostly about your general knowledge about the whole android experince. I could do what you ask by using tasker and zoom with tons of other features. it is possible but again it depends on what kind of user you are.
thanks for the great desire. I think with your help I'll be fine. Please try, I'm looking forward.

Hi all!
This is my first post in these forums, even though I've been idling for some time. So, first of all, thank you all for all the contributions these forums have made to the WM scene! Especially to noobs like me.
So - since I'm a former PocketBreeze user I would very much like to integrate tasks into the calendar tab on the today screen. I made a simple sketch below.
The idea is to simply have the tab showing the tasks. "Today" would show all tasks that are active on the present date, together with outdated - unchecked - tasks as well as tasks without due dates. Further down in the agenda, tasks are also shown once on the date they start and once on the date they end. Having the ability to "check" a task once it's finished would certainly be icing on the cake.
I have no idea if this is even possible but it would most definitely make my day (as well as many others', I'm sure).
Thanks for your time!
great idea.. send it to HTC
I think you will find the majority of people on this forum would agree with your request. Adding Tasks to the HTC calendar would be perfect. While I love PocketBreeze, SPB Diary and so forth - I prefer a clean and simple interface. If I don't need an additional piece of software I don't want one.

Even though I don't think they pick ideas like these up from users - can someone give me a hint on where I should sent it? The support line doesn't seem quite right...
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just found this and this idea is awesome!
Maybe now someone can do this someway or another.
Very good mockup, by the way. it would look wonderful.
Hi all,
I'm a noob app developer trying to do it for the first time. I'm trying to create an event calendar app for company's internal purposes. So that everyone in the company (which uses a lot of android phones) can be updated on company events that are coming up.
My approach is to create a database with MySQL for events input, and to use PHP to connect the database which is in a server and to push it to the android devices that are used in the office as that's how I found it in a tutorial from HelloAndroid.
My questions are:
1. is this the best approach to create such app?
2. Can I use Android's default calendar to input these events? if not is there some kind of calendar template that I can use to display the information to the users.
Probably will have more questions as I progress, but please help if anyone is more experienced in these matters than I am.
Thank you very much, and really appreciate the inputs that I'm gonna get
A simple solution would be to use Google Calendar.
By using GC you can add/edit events either from a PC (work or home) or your Mobile anywhere in the World.
All that is required is for someone to first set up the calendar on Google and push it out to all those who you want to see it.
This way you are not isolating anyone who does not have an Android Phone.
that's a really good point. Especially in a closed environment like an office. I didn't think of that before. THank you very much.
However, if let's say I want to try to build an app for that for public use, not just confined to limited numbers of people in a company.
Would that be the best approach or if there's any better way to approach it. I may decide to build the app after all just to learn and gain experience in app development.
thanks again for the feedback, really appreciate it.
I can't really give you advice on developing an App sorry.
All I can say is the method I mention is the one which I use to keep all my Operational Team (Surgeons/Doctors/Nurses/Admin/etc) updated and advised.
There's nothing short in you developing your own Calendar App but you would have to ensure it would be available to all and that includes anyone anywhere regardless of the fact they are at work, home, holiday, with Android or not, have a Phone, PC, Mac, etc... etc...
For that there's already a stable tool by the name of Google Calendar.
If you do develop one I'd still be interested in seeing what ideas you could bring into practice that would have a benefit over GC.
I understand your point of view, and actually you got me thinking, maybe if I really want to do the apps, I can create an app that calls the Gcalendar events, and display it from the app. I can find out the API to do that, and that would be much simpler.
Thank you again for your input, really appreciate i

No problem.... I wish you well on your venture.
Do please let us all know how you get on.. You never know, if it becomes that good I may even use it myself over the stock calendar App or any of the other's that already link to GC.
Hey guys!
Firstly I'd like to say that I have only been working on Android for about a week now, so I guess you can consider me a newb! Therefore I apologise in advance if the solution is overly simple, but I can assure you that I have done my research before posting here, and haven't found an appropriate solution as of yet (or maybe I have and don't fully realise it!). Nonetheless, having lots of fun and just want to solve this problem and learn, so here goes...
The Application
The application I am developing is essentially a reminder service, and I am currently working on the preferences screen.
The Problem
I would like the user to be able to specifiy a time when he/she will be reminded daily. I want this selection to be done via the preferences screen. This is how my preferences screen looks so far...

My Question
Ideally, whenever the user selects the "Alarm Time" preference, I would like the following to appear
[http]://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2366/timepickerwidget.png
My question is, what is the best way to create this? I really want to keep all the visual aspects of the application using only XML, therefore I don't want a Java solution. Is this possible or am I completely off track? Other potential solutions I have heard of are using themes, alert dialogs and extending preference classes etc. Maybe some of these are correct, but I am unsure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Does anyone know of a Dual PDF viewer for Honeycomb/Android? I am looking for an app that will allow me to launch up two PDFs side-by-side or let me display two images right next to each other on the same screen. The reason being, I am studying for a test right now and would like a way to open the same PDF but right next to each other. One side will have the problems while the other side will display the answers & explanations. Therefore it will make it a lot easier to see the explanation to the answer without having to memorize what the question was. Often times I will read the answer but will totally forget the question (since I am doing like 10 questions at a time). Hope this is making sense. Please let me know if someone knows of a program like this. Couldn't find anything on the market. Thanks.

Would love this too. Should really be implemented in a pdf viewer that one can open several pdfs at the same time and then change the size of the windows.
Yea id love to have an app to do that. Is someone into it?
Love to have one to simply my life
Hi I am a total noob and petrified not to insult anyone after having watched your video!!
Anyway I did search for the solution I am looking for and something called Tasker is the closest I could find(which seems rather involved).
I am wondering if there is an App. for Andoid smartphones which enables you to record a series of actions (like open wifi when activatating an App, do certain things in that App. and Email a file etc.), and then create an icon to go with this (macro of recorded actions).
Hope I did not offend you guys too much.
I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks
