[Q] Refresh pdf from password protected website - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I started learning android development not so long ago, and have an idea for small app which would be very useful for me and college.
The idea is simple, there is a pdf file with timetable on the website, in order to access it you just need enter the password and it starts dowloading.
So app should do these things:
Check if timetable is updated every morning or so
If it was updated, download it and delete the old one
Show notification that timetable has changed
Also it would be great to open that pdf file in the same app
And if it is possible make the widget with timetable
I'm already quite confident in android studio so all I am looking for is an advice were to look or read and maybe examples of something similar.
Thank you,
Tom

[APP] Fill out PDF Froms BETA

Finally, after several requests from android developers, there is an app that will let you fill out forms and view PDFs in ICC Colors. This is the first app that will let you fill out forms that companies or people made using Acrobat. This was what I was missing on my xoom and why I had to get an Ipad for business.
This App is in its 2nd stage beta release and is not out for public. Below I have copied the changelog and the link to the apk, which has to be installed manually.
P.S More changes and updates are still coming and this IS a beta release.
New features in this release:
· Text markup tools – Highlight, underline and cross out
· Fill and save PDF forms
· PDF file association – qPDF Notes should now work with your file
manager
· Free text annotation tool to add text boxes
· Support for documents that use ICC colors spaces
· Added stability and better performance
To download and install, you will first need to enable the installation of "non-Market" applications by going to Settings -> Applications and then choosing the Unknown Sources entry. After you've changed this setting, you can download qPDF Notes from:
http://www.qoppa.com/android/demo/qpdfnotes.apk
I've been wanting the ability to do this forever.

Are You Sure . Even Computer You Need To Download Another Software .
Fab! Just what I needed
Hi
Been looking round for an app like this for a while. This seems to do exactly what I want it to (thanks!)
Do you know when it is due for public release? Would love to start using it but without the "demo version" watermark!
Kim
Does it handle JavaScripts within PDFs, or only allow filling out of form fields?
I'm curious because most (even desktop) third-party PDF apps only allow form filling (if at all) and very few can run the javascripts embedded in more complex PDF forms.
I got "java.lang.NullPointerException" on Xoom wifi 32gb. I attempted to pull from a stored file located in my download folder through the software's interface. I then attempted through dropbox. When I pulled it through dropbox it gave me an option to open with different software I have on my XOOM. I select Qpdf and got the save fail code. The file that I used is the same that I utilize via pdfexpert on my ipad.
I hope this helps.
Thank You
On the HTC EVO is doesn't show when choosing on a drop down list.
It does show the list though.
Great work.
I had PDF Expert before I sold the ipad and I've been missing this.
For an alternative, you can check the application called 'Fill and Sign PDF Forms' that is free and available on Android Market.
Will it work on the Xoom ? i need an app like this for model releases
Nice work. Good to see someone working on a viable PDF solution.
Any plans to implement the ability for digital signatures (either via using finger on screen, or stylus)
Keep up the good work.
NIce! I'll give this a try!
xoom not loading files
I tried opening a password protected PDF from school didn't work does the application have that ability
14.99? a little steep eh? appreciate the work and i think you have a great product here but thats excessive

[app requests]

I've seen a few App Requests posted as threads here, and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to act as a catchall for App Requests. I gather that we have Dev Dudes from major tech corps roaming around these halls, so why not have a list of apps we want as consumers easily available to them!
I'll kick things off with these requests:
-A good, integrated guitar/bass tuner with metronome and practice timer(s)
-Adobe Camera RAW interface
-Adobe Bridge for tablets
-VLC Player for tablets
-DJ mixing software that can use headphone output and HDMI [audio] separately for cue/mix output
Feel free to point us to apps that fill requests as they are developed or if they have existed before the request

I'd like an app that you can instantly take a snapshot of the screen or take a camera snapshot and start to annotate on it right away, e.g you were browsing and came across something of interest and you want to add your own comments and underline or mark a specific area.
I know this can be done using repligo or ezpdf however it will involve a few steps to achieve using the Asus's in built snapshot feature and then converting the document to pdf in order to annotate but I want something instant without having to convert the file first, similar to htc flyers note taking app.
Can't you do this with Evernote? I just downloaded this last night but it seems really slick.

Unfortunately, you cannot annotate using evernote although it is fantastic for taking notes, i use it at work at meetings. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the meeting agenda which is usually printed and then start to add notes against agenda items.
I'm just going to make a list of the things I think will make this brilliant - I'm a very small time developer, and don't have the skills to do these, unfortunately:
Something similar to Microsoft Onenote - Drawing/notes/annotations all in one
"Phone Sync" where you pick up your tablet, and it also becomes your phone for SMS, MMS, Calls, and you can share clipboards between the two - This would be brilliant!
Decent Twitter and Facebook widgets
Modified Launcher with resizable widgets, folders - ideally, LauncherPro optimised for Honeycomb.
I'd like to see the Monkey Island games and some of the old Cinemaware titles such as Defender Of The Crown on Android.

I designed an Android app for tablet which I think would be pretty easy to make, UI, name, logo and all, but... I'm not a programmer. Also I believe this will be an app which would be handy for a lot of people.
Since I designed, thought of and branded the app I really don't just want to give the idea away to anyone, but if any app developer is interested feel free to contact me and I could explain the concept to them.
PS: I don't want a share of the profits or to get paid for it or anything like that, all I would want is to find a developer who could do justice to not only the concept but also to the design since there are so many well functioning but terrible looking android apps.
Excellent posts!
Thanks for the interest and the activity on the thread!
I'm watching a thread where a couple Asus dev dudes have actually weighed in on an issue users are having, so I'm gonna see if I can't point them to this one so we'll have some ears that can make a difference. Hopefully some [all?] of the ideas here will filter thru and become reality!
Kudos to everyone!
I'd like an app that can sync via bluetooth (not via the web/cloud), incoming sms messages/caller id/missed call info, from an android phone directly to the transformer with notifications.
I know there are lots which do it via the web, but this isn't an option for me (pre-pay sim not contract).
EDIT:
Another idea for an app, don't know if possible to implement or not. When browsing google search results it would be nice to have an app that lets you see how many kilobytes or megabytes a website requires you to download, before you accessed the page. So that mobile users can see how much data is required and can manage their free allowance better, or not be charged a fortune.
A media player app that can
1. have gesture controls like moboplayer
2. have good codec support like moboplayer
3. can stream from server
4. and can hide the honeycomb taskbar!!!!
Settlers of Catan map generator
Would be cool to see a Settlers of Catan map generator with support for Seafarers, Cities and Knights, Harbours and a roll counter.
did it ever occur to anyone that now that there is a keyboard and mouse capabilities that someone should port an fps to the transformer?
I would love an app/widget that monitored the battery of both the Transformer and the keyboard dock. It's almost impossible to tell how much juice is left in the keyboard. If someone knows of an app/widget or a built-in way to do that, please let me know.
Edit: I would also love to see a folder app that integrates data from the Market, so if I download a game, it automatically adds it to the Games folder, etc.

still hunting for the torrent app to work with private torrents
alternate keyboard
since the dock is still in short supply it would be nice to have the ability to use my android phone as a keyboard/trackpad for my transformer through bluetooth or something. the entire screen could be a landscape keyboard that you could swipe down to access trackpad.

[2.2+] AutoNotes - Automated note taking tool [Two major updates!]

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.houzuo.android.autonotes
Tired of taking notes manually? This app makes life easier for you!
Set some keywords, and AutoNotes will automatically take text notes of interested information from your clipboard, typed sentences and things that appear on your screen!
E.g. Set "appointment" as a keyword, when "appointment" appears in a Gmail, the Email content will be saved into a note.
Due to Android's limitation, AutoNotes cannot process everything that ever appears on your screen. So please copy very important information into clipboard in order to make sure that AutoNotes has saved it for you.
This is my second Android app, your suggestions and feedbacks are very appreciated
Changelog
========
2.0
- Regular expression support
- Option to be notified when a note is created
- Minor performance improvements
3.0
- Ability to export notes to SD card
- Ability to search past notes by regex or keyword
- Settings are now saved upon app restart
- Minor user interface improvements
This is a fantastic idea. I had no clue this was possible without root. Nice work.
Oh, and look what we have here...
pretty nice app, thanks a lot
Gonna give this a try
This is a free app... why don't allow it to "sell" in China? Its bad enough that all us China Android fans can only get apps on dodgy alernative markets even if we have valid credit cards and/or paypal. But this is a free app. Please make it available world wide. Limiting market availability does not prevent piracy... it encourages it.

The app is on its first release. I can only speak English and Chinese and I know the way AutoNotes identifies and counting words does not apply to Chinese language. Better support for the languages other than English is a WIP feature.

No problem. I have enabled the app in all countries.
Here I also attached the APK file if you would like to install it straight away.
I already rated AutoNotes on the market, but I figured to make my suggestions (sent to Guo in PM) public here for review:
Question: are keywords searched for regarding case or case insensitively?
I'd like to have two options next to each keyword: "case insensitive" and "pattern", maybe off by default. The "pattern" knob should interpret a keyword as a regular expression or perhaps as a glob pattern like in Unix filenames.
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Just one other thing: keywords should also have a "negate" or "not" flag: if keywords with such a flag are encountered, AutoNotes should ignore the text. In case one needs to email passwords or other credentials. While such an email would be sent encrypted (of course!), AutoNotes sees the cleartext, so this is kinda important ...
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Got another one: every note has the valuable button "copy to clipboard". When I use it, the note goes to the clipboard, but then I need to use the back button several times to exit Autonotes.
How about a configuration option "exit after clipboard copy" that will immediately exit Autonotes and thereby return to the app where I want to paste the note?
Major update pushed to Android Market

Thanks houzuoguo! I already got it from market. The regular expressions are a good idea. I hope you stay with this project.
I love this app. It solves my biggest frustration with Android. This app is absolutely effective.
I want to export all the notes although TB does restore everything. I can't find the data file...although I haven't really put an all out effort to find it... are the notes encrypted or in a basic text file?
EDIT -- found it. data/data/net.houzuo.android.autonotes/autonotes.db
and then squlited my way into a text doc.

[Free]CardCloud Flashcards Study App

Hi, I recently took an Android Development at my school where I made this Flashcards Study App.
There's still a lot of work I want to complete before I call it finished, but it's a good start I think. I still want to add more quizlet functionality to it (since quizlet.com doesn't seem to have an android app yet.)
Download the App!
Some features:
* Offline Mode to study on the go without an internet connection.
* Adjust card flip speeds in the settings menu
* Long press on a deck to view options
* Shuffle your flashcards
* Search Quizlet to access millions of flashcard sets.
* Edit, Delete, and Create new flashcards with a breeze
* Text-to-speech integration
* Multi-language support
* Identify your strengths and weaknesses by keeping track of how well you know a card.
* Reverse Question and Answer sides on cards
* Improved UI
EDIT:
I attached an apk that you guys can use since I can't seem to post a link to the play store.
Or alternatively, You can search for "CardCloud FlashCards" in the play store to get the official app.
I'd recommend it since I'm planning on pushing a lot of new features in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks!

Hey. Sorry. It doesn't seem to let me post links since I'm a new member.
Here's an uploaded APK file you can use in the meantime
Or you can search for "CardCloud Flashcards" in the play store if you want the official version.
Thanks for trying it out!
Definitely let me know if you run into any problems.
So far nice ui
Works good. Is it possible to share own decks with friends? It would be amazing, also an option for read only and read write permissions for shared decks.

Thanks for the compliments!
Sharing is definitely a feature i'm going to be adding in the feature. Right now i'm torn between integrating some sort of facebook social network to allow for easier sharing. I've been busy trying to learn Ruby on Rails Development and Android Dev at the same time, so the cardcloud website is a bit lacking at the moment. But Sharing is definitely a big feature I want to implement.
Currently I'm in the middle of adding an ability for users to mark each card as easy/hard and then creating an infinite shuffle that will have a smart algorithm to show difficult cards more often.
That should be about two weeks out, and then I'll start working on the Deck sharing.
Great suggestion on the Read/Write permissions too! I think that would be an awesome feature, I've written it down on my notepad, so definitely stay tuned to this thread for any updates I make!
Thanks for trying out my app!
Redesign Icon
Hey buddy I think this app is great for studying and for group activities. Love what you have done. I also like the UI I made this icon for you just cuz i like messing around with Photoshop haha hope you like it

Full icon without background or text: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvOEV2U1FEWkVfWXM
Hi. Great app. Is it possible to manually edit or create a set on a PC and transfer / open / import into the application?
A quick way of implementing this might be to add CSV or XML export and import?
Perhaps a link up to Google docs for cloud storage and on line editing?
Also, would you consider the addition of images on the flip cards? Perhaps a HTML format would make this easy to implement? A picture paints a thousand words and all...
Keep up the good work and I hope its a great success.
Steve.
**************************** [Edit] ****************************
Opening a quizlet with images renders nothing visible on the card
Steps to reproduce...
1. Search 2010 Honda Cars
2. Select any of the results
3. See the text (e.g. "2010 Honda civic") but on clicking the card to see the flip side - there is nothing.
Here is what is should look like... http://quizlet.com/1935486/2010-honda-cars-flash-cards/
**************************** [/Edit] ***************************
CardCloud - Flash Cards
CardCloud,
Great effort thus far ... you've added the ability to create card sets! This is HUGE.
Some tips I hope you're able to fix in the coming updates, please.
1. Settings - there should really only be on 'settings' button for the app (the vertical elipses button; top right/bottom right corners).
2. Logon - should be a little more clear "what" service the logon pertains to.
- I thought the ability to logon to Quizlet would work with this ?? I'm an Android newb and I've already realized things are "assumed/presumed" to be known to new users, which its not clear on many applications or the OS itself.
3. KEEP the "skip logon" this is critical and I've come across many notes type apps that I cannot even create a note when in the subway because they require a persistent internet connection = total pain in the ass and useless! You've got a good thing going with this "skip logon" ability please KEEP IT Much appreciated.

Thanks! I'm planning on adding that feature pretty soon. Right now I'm on the verge of adding support for marking cards as either correct or incorrect. Also I'm adding in an in-app purchase to remove ads. I've also been working on the website portion of my app (cardcloud.net) which will allow you to upload your local decks onto a website (once you create an account) once it's uploaded, you'll be able to export from the site.
That's still a work in progress, hopefully in a week or two, I'll have that ready for you.
In the meantime, you can expect an update for marking the correctness of each card in the next day or two!
Thanks for the compliments, and thanks for trying out my app!

Hey! Supa_Fly, thanks for the kind words.
I really like the idea of the skip button for logins. The reason the login is there is to allow users to sync their decks with the website portion of the app. (CardCloud.net) But I've been busy working on the app and haven't had a chance to get the webapplication completed yet. Hopefully in the next week or two You'll be able to backup your local decks/cards onto a website, where you can save them on a computer.
The settings functionality is a bit confusing, so I've done a bit of tinkering with it to make it more intuitive to use. Thanks for the suggestions though! I really appreciate the feedback.
In the meantime, I'm working on a v1.2 release which will allow users to mark cards as either correct/incorrect/half-correct/etc, to help with remembering your learning progression. Keep an eye out for that. Hopefully I'll be able to push that up to the google store by tomorrow. I'll also update this thread once that's complete!
Thanks again for trying my app!
Hey. Just uploaded an update to the current App on the Appstore.
Some New features:
* Identify your strengths and weaknesses by keeping track of how well you know a card. Mark a card as Correct/Incorrect/etc
* Reverse Question and Answer sides on cards
* Improved UI
* Settings AutoSave when changed, rather than having to hit a save button
* When Viewing a Deck from Quizlet, download the deck directly from the cardview for your convenience.
* Change your settings (flipspeed and question/answer reversal) from the cardview.

Hi, my girlfriend wrote out 20 sets as study for her exam on Wednesday. Her phone updated your app and it seems her card sets have been deleted (or lost). :crying:
Is your new updated version deleting user inputted card sets?
I'd greatly appreciate a quick response if you have a way to retrieve them.
PS, where are the card sets saved? In files (what location in phone)? Perhaps we can retrieve them manually?
Thanks, Steve.
Hey sd00, I'm really really really sorry that happened.
I found a bug in my code that was clearing the sqlite DB on updates.
I fixed the bug, but unfortunately it looks like her cards have been wiped.
This is embarrassing, I'm a noob and didn't realize that would happen.
There's nothing I can do, but promise it won't happen again.
For what it's worth, If I sent you guys an ad free version of that app, would that help?
Again, I'm really sorry, let me know what I can do to try to make it better.
I'm working on the ability to create decks online and then sync them to your phone, so hopefully that'll make it easier in the future to recreate the decks.
(If you'd like, you can even send me the questions/answers and I'll type them back up for her myself.
if you pm me an email address, I can send you an apk for the free version too.
Again, I apologize for my noobness.
For such a new app - this was an unforeseen mistake by the developer. The fact that he's VERY apologetic and this app does offer some great features over the competition I'll still support this app!
As experience is gained and more testing directly by the developer we'll this app continually excel and grow in feature sets and less bugs. Not many people appreciate developers' hard work and even less developers are as humble as this one.

Hey Supa_Fly, thanks for the kind words and support! It's been a lot of fun working on this app and I've learned a lot from the experience. Hopefully as I improve, so will the app. Sorry again to sd00 for the bug. I spent a few days testing and retesting to make sure it wouldn't happen again before I pushed up the newest update this afternoon.
I've been working on the syncing functionality the last week or so and I got it finally working the way I wanted. Not 100% yet, but allowing users to create their decks online I think is a necessary feature, since writing out individual cards on a phone is a pain. I'd like to tweak it a bit to make syncs work faster/better, but I'm slightly limited by my web server since it's a bit slow. Hopefully if I can generate any revenue through the app, I'll be able to put it towards faster servers. I'll keep an eye on the bug log to make sure nothing goes awry though.
I've pushed the new features up onto CardCloud.net allowing users to login to their accounts and create their cards online. Also, I uploaded the app updates to the google play store so users should be able to get the updated app with fixed functionality. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up this time .
In the meantime, I have a couple new features in the pipes that I'm working on that I think should improve the app. Hopefully I'll be able to get these pushed out in the upcoming weeks:
- Image support for flashcards. Definitely a top priority feature, should have an update for this within the next few weeks.
- Rich Text Editing. Another top level feature I want for the app.
- Better Quizlet integration. Search for usernames, and returning public decks, recently studied, etc
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text. When I get new features implemented for this app, I will post them here.
Development stops?

[Q] Refreshing pdf from password protected website

Hi,
I started learning android development not so long ago, and have an idea for small app which would be very useful for me and college.
The idea is simple, there is a pdf file with timetable on the website, in order to access it you just need enter the password and it starts dowloading.
So app should do these things:
Check if timetable is updated every morning or so
If it was updated, download it and delete the old one
Show notification that timetable has changed
Also it would be great to open that pdf file in the same app
And if it is possible make the widget with timetable
I'm already quite confident in android studio so all I am looking for is an advice were to look or read and maybe examples of something similar.
Thank you,
Tom
