[TOOL][WEB]Android Strings Translation Web Application - Miscellaneous Android Development

Hey,
I've written a tiny web application (still in its rudimentary stages) for translating strings.xml files as is, i.e. the structure of the file is preserved as it is using Regex and Bing API Translate.
Unlike other tools used for Android application translation this one is completely free. It only requires you to create a Microsoft Account to get yourself a Translate API Client ID and Client Secret to use the API.
You can find the application here.
You can find the source code here.
The UI of the application is quite bad, any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!

App Request [zotero browse]

I have a request for an Android developer. I use Zotero for references, and would like to read my journals on my nook color.
Zotero uses an sqlite database to store all the information within zotero. Additionally it attaches pdf's and other documents to the citations in individual directories defined by a unique hashtag for each entry.
I am thinking about copying the entire reference directory, including all the pdf's and sqlite database from my computer to sdcard. Once there we could parse through the database, find articles with search based on the author name, publication year, and journal title. The file path location can be parsed directly from the database information and if integrated properly, should allow you to open the pdf with quick office or any other app just by clicking on it.
I would be able to willing to pay $10-20 for this kind of functionality depending on how difficult it would be to set up. Currently, I am setting up syncs with Evernote and Dropbox, but it just isn't the same.
Someone has already made clients for linux and windows which does basically what I mentioned previously, however it is designed in python. I know python, and would be able to integrate that with android if android-scripting had more advanced functionality, but I don't know java at all.
The linux / windows python based client : http://www.cogsci.nl/gnotero
Am also pretty interested in this. Seems odd to do it in python though, considering that zotero itself is written in java. But you can run python on android, you know. Check out http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/

Google API for Java

I'm relatively new to programming and am currently learning Java.
Google provides their API in Java for their various products. I downloaded it, followed the instructions to use ANT to get it all ready to go, but I'm stuck on how to actually start using it. I can't get their libraries to import into my programs using the JVM compiler. It just says a bunch of, "that package doesn't exist", and things of that nature. I can't even get Google's sample code to load any of the API packages.
How does one actually use the API once it's all extracted and in the C:\Program Files\Java\gdata folder? Can I not use the JVM compiler? I had to use ANT to set it all up... does that mean I have to somehow use ANT to use the API? I'm a little confused.
If somebody could write up a step-by-step on how to start using the API, that would be so awesome.

Judging from your post, you seem to be referring to the GData APIs. It's worth noting that Google is pushing Google APIs Client Library for Java for all new Google JSON APIs.
These APIs + samples are built with Maven2 and are pretty easy to setup.
Also judging from your post, you might want to get up to speed with basic java stuff like project setup in your IDE (Eclipse / IntelliJ ?), Build tools (Maven / ANT). Learn those things first before getting into the Google APIs. Go to the maven site and see how you can build a simple project. See how to import that project in Eclipse, and checkout the Maven plugin for Eclipse.
Most of the samples for Google APIs Client Library for Java (ex: The Books API Sample) provide step by step instructions on how to get things up and running (starting with checking out the code from the google versioning control to building it and running the sample on your environment).
Hijacking this threat a bit, but I'm also learning about APIs, Facebook and Twitter in particular.
With regard to android and java, I've done the tutorial for logging into facebook and posting basic status update but don't really understand the code; which parts are the API?
Really appreciate it if you could point me to another thread or site that explains how to use the API. I'm stuck on how to create a method that does event creation for facebook.
Thanks in advance!

app development for LAN and internet

I am new to today's device apps. However have taken a big project which I am not sure is deliverable!! I want to develop two cross-platform application (desktop-windows/mac/android, mobile-windows,iOS/iPAD/IPOD etc), lets call them site-access and remote-access.
LAN(Option1, site-access) Front end: HTML/CSS/JavaScript Database:H2 Database access language:GO programming language webserver/web application server: Go programming language server running on a pc in company (company server). I am hoping that I could use JavaScript to trigger some functions/libraries in GO to query H2 database? Will it really work like that?
LAN(Option2) Front end:HTML/CSS/JavaScript Database:H2 webserver/application server:Apoche Tomcat database access language: Java servlet/Node.js
In this case, I am hoping that I would use javascript to communicate with node.js running in back end that will then communicate with Apoche Tomcat over servlet. Will it work?
remote-access (hosted on google app engine) Front-end:HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript Employee seamlessly easily use remote-access icon on devices to connect to company server- backend running under architecture 1/2 above- and access files off company server? I am hoping that I could use some additional database access conditions for remote-access app using GO programming language to design simple login features? I am sorry about my naivety in web-development. But your input will surely put me in the right direction. Thank you

Android - Web Automation Bot Creator

I create ScrapperMin a Bot Creator for Windows and Android (Can compile your script into APK)
Download in Play Store : ScrapperMin in Play Store
Documentation : ScrapperMin
Whats for?
1. Auto Login/Auto Posting/Auto Scraping/Auto Download File/Auto Upload File (All you need is to write a script for your task)
2. Automate your daily task or your clients task, just write a script compile to APK and give it to them, or even uploaded to play store
Pro
1. Easy to learn C like language with lots of ready made method for doing communication with website using HTTP Protocol, String Operations such as search between two words (TagMatch), File Operations.
2. Can Compile your script into APK and distribute it in Play Store complete with keystore generated for your keep safe
3. Can Run the script inside the App for testing and later deploy it as APK
4. Have documentation of what Libraries it has offer (see the website)
5. Have Windows and Android version where your script can be run in both platform (most features are compatible, some has not been implemented in Android version like OAuth libraries)
6. Any website accept HTTP protocol can be automated not only just the one offering API.
7. ITS FREE!!
Cons
1. You need to have basic programming skill
2. You need to know what parameter the website you want to automate accept, use Fiddler or browser (F12 developer console) or similar software to capture the package and analyze the input/output
Learn scrappermin syntax is easy, read the docs here : PDF Guide

Android application vs Html 5 pages

I have some requirements for an android application, Since java development will take time, I am trying to figure out if I should code the application using Html5)
1. It should submit some fields from the mobile device to a web application
2. It should be able to capture pictures using camera/gallery and submit to the server/web application
3. It should retrieve some info from the web application and display it (I know that write JavaScript to fetch info from the web application using Ajax)
Can I achieve this using a bunch of Html page running on the mobile phone, or I need to write a designated android/Java application?
Thank you for your help.

You'll have to use Android SDK to build an app, that requires at least Java and C++.

Not only ^^, but you'll also have to learn php if you want it to be purely html, since html can't do all that.
Server side I'm ok, I know java, I am asking about client side
Seems like camera interaction is possible with html 5

Submission to the server is just simple form submit,
And reading from server is possible with Ajax,
