Ever since I began adapting myself to the "Android ways" on a Samsung 10.1 2014 tablet, I've been striving to do whatever it takes for a snappy print functionality as well.
One particular problem is on printing custom stickers/labels without being wasteful on paper.....
Basically I "Google image" search some terms, save 10s of images etc and want that printed as a sticker on my home printer.
All is well but in fact most of the images are small enough to fit a good number of them on a single A4 page.
What I am looking for is an app that I can do multiple image selection on and have those images spread on the A4 ready for rescaling and eventually printing.
Best of all if I can get the images to dynamically reallocate themselves based on me rescalling them inside the A4 page preview e
If the description in any way resembles an app you know of or you know a semiautomatic method I could use to produce the above outcomes please share!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Please note that XDA Assist isn't a general helpdesk area, or purpose is to point people who don't know where to post in the right direction. You should be able top find such an app on the Play Store, or you could even check XDA's own apps section here:

I am looking for a very specific app to assist me with interviews. What I need is an app that can open a Word or Excel style template page. The page will have a list of questions and the space to fill in answers just like any normal paper application form.
Name:.........................................................................
Address :.....................................................................
..................................................................................
..................................................................................
Tel:................................................
Etc.
Now this bit is easy I have seen many app's that can do this, the next is the difficult bit,. I need the app to allow me to use a stylus to handwrite the answers in the fields. It does not need to recognise what I have written just save the page as I have annotated it with the handwritten answers. I can then open the template again and conduct the next interview.
Is there such an app out there? If not would anyone be interested in creating one? If this is a new idea then whoever wants it can use it. Thanks all.
Sounds like a good idea that can easily be accomplished using the Google App Inventor.
If I have a few spare cycles I'll see if I can throw it together.
Nice idea, would be a handy little app for many i'm sure.
Would be nice for it to have a "done and save" button so it auto went to the next form, and have an edit mode to edit the forms themselves (making it applicable for any survey, data collect use).
I'll have a look at the app maker today and see if a noob like me could knock something up (allthough its probably best left to those with experience).
Definately a good idea though ^^
EDIT: Oeer, think i may need to readup on the Appmaker for a week before i start ...Spose have to start somewhere. Consider me outof the dev picture for a mo ...allthough need any art/buttons i can help anytime xD
Greetings to all XDA people. I am new to XDA, don't have the permission to ask at Android Software Dev. So, I will ask my question here.
I am reading Android books and trying out tools to develop apps on Android. No problem using the SDK and TextView, Grid, IMF, etc.
I am trying to develop a sheet music/score viewer. I am targeting API level 11 which is Honeycomb. So that musician can read sheet music with their 10.1" device. It should actually look like we are viewing a pdf. Vector base staff.
Before diving into implementation. I need design the structure first. The first question is, what file format should I use? Famous sheet music software like finale and overture, rosegarden, etc. Seems like they are all using their own format. Is there a open standard for storing staff or sheet music? Or should I go for MIDI (I don't think this is an appropriate format for viewing)? How about this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUIDO_music_notation?
I won't go right the way for a generic staff viewer, instead I will develop specifically for drumming first, and let the viewer highlight the bar which you are playing with tempo which you specified. Such that you don't have to worry about turning page or putting all stuff into one staff page (A4).
Please give me advice on the file format, or if there is a framework doing something just like that, please tell me.
Sorry that I had to post here, but I don't have enough posts to post on the other boards.
I was trying to basically get specific links to developing apps for Android, Windows Mobile 7 Live, and iPhone and links for the image requirements
I have two apps that I am interested in developing. One if pretty similar to direct uses to a website to sign in. However I would like to know if it is possibly to have some real estate (preferably at the top) to add a link to my website.
The other, is basically an app to build for my RSS feed to my blog. I would also like to maybe have some real estate at the top to promote my URL. Both apps are free.
From what I have been trying to read, some marketplaces do not charge anything for free apps and some charge something. I was wondering if it might be easier to get a developer that has an account and can develop the app / submit it as well?
Thank you!
I have a batch of image files and am trying to find a fluent way to move them across apps in Android.
1.Multiple selection in android file explorers such as Astro, ES File explorer apps does exist and is still new to me. I am able to select one by one(would prefer to filter the directory first date , time, name) or in some cases "select all" (118 items for example) of image files in a directory. Now I would like to simply import all of these images in one go to other apps.
Easy share action seems different depending on the apps I use.
Some apps disappear from the sharing option when I multi select .
My question is how to get around this single file share action?
It occurs to me that a simple reiteration through the multiple selection in the file explorer app would appear as a single file to the app I am sharing the selection with...
Heavy searched play store online etc for a solution ...nothing as of yet.
Any file explorers in android capable of doing this?? How about custom easy share action app( lollipop able)??
Shame some developers are not exposing the easy share multi file capabilities to the end user interface .
My end goal is to find an app to easily populate A4(or other sizes) pages ready for printing. File images are cut and with irregular shapes. Ideally the app would figure out how to place the images to minimize gaps and waste no paper(minimal waste that is).
At the moment I know of an app called PicCollage. It fits the bill in many places but fails due to all 118 images being dumped on a single page. Any other well known possibilities?? I wish an app with endless canvas existed . I would just dump all images first...move them about and print the whole thing tiled on A4 pages...
Hi there
Please note the following sticky from the top of the Assist section and note that here on assist we are help new users to navigate thru the site.
> General discussion > XDA Assist > The Purpose of XDA Assist [Please Read]
As a old member of XDA forum, I am quite confident that you know where your device section is (you already asked something there) and where to ask for help because this is 4 thread opened here.
Thanks for understanding
Good luck
My problem is that I have no way of pasting text in this specific app which I use constantly because it won't allow you to tap & hold to paste and the keyboard I use doesn't allow for an easy, consistent, error free way of pasting (e.g: a simple clipboard button...).
My question: Is there a way to extend the length of the entry for a personal dictionary shortcut on Android 4.4. I am using a custom ROM (CM11) and am therefor on Android 4.4 with a Samsung Galaxy S4 when I could be at the most recent update. There are so many apps that boast about power to the user over literally every aspect of your device and that boast about being able to DO and SCRIPT literally ANYTHING so long as you have a rooted device, which I do have, but none that I have tried can fix my simple issue.
If there is no way I can modify the allowed text length for a personal dictionary shortcut, is there any way I could add a simple clipboard button to my current keyboard (Google Keyboard) or relatively easily create my own keyboard with similar aesthetics to the one I currently use and similar functionality while adding a simple clipboard button?
Can I create a script on my phone (rooted) that works like the personal dictionary shortcut of Android 4.4 in the sense that typing a shortcut (brb) will produce a chunk of text (longer than be right back) but that has more flexibility (is not limited to a mere ~50 characters)?
Is there any answer that would maybe possible be sufficient for anything along these lines of the questions above?
Also, this isn't very important, by why in the world does Google think that a simple, minimalistic, clipboard button is too much to add to their keyboard. Some dev made a blanket statement that whenever and wherever you want to paste text, you can always use the simple tap & hold feature. However, there are SEVERAL instances where this is NOT the case, one of which being my situation.
Finally, I realize this is XDA assist and I'm probably not posting this where I can get a sufficient answer but I have no idea where to post this on this forum. I don't want to post it in four different places because that tends to be frowned upon...

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Yeah, it's rather a missed opportunity not to have clipboard functioned built into the AOSP keyboard, or even Google Keyboard. Although, there are keyboards out there that do. TouchPal comes to mind (as my phone is currently using it), and the Hackers Keyboard has a CTRL key, which leads me to believe that CTRL + V will work (but my tablet is upstairs at the moment).
If alternative keyboards are not your thing, the first place to ask for options would be with your device experts (in spite of the custom ROM). So I will leave this thread here:
