Hello everyone,
I didn't ever code anything, but I feel now it's my time to do so. I have one idea, and it's based about interactive map app. My plan is to do map of my city, and to offer any company, object, etc. their location in that map. My city is largely visited by tourists around the world, and I think everyone who owns business would be interesed to find their spot on that map (I wouldn't ask them for big payment). So, as I am rookie in coding, can you recommend me how to start. What map should I use (I need one that I can change and adjust as I wish), how much time I'll need.
If anyone here had to deal with something like this, any suggestion, tip and help would be welcomed.
Regards,
Adin

Hello, This is my first post on XDA and I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for posting this question.
I am a computer engineering student and I willing to make an augmented reality browser for android as a graduation project(something like Layar and Wikitude); however, I want to make it from scratch(without using any Augmented Reality API like the ones Layar provide), I want the application to be smart and to be able to detect stuff through image recognition and back it up with locations provided through GPS and I am willing to use Google Maps API for fetching Points of interest and other APIs for different uses...
I have very basic android programming experience and average java programming experience. I am going to work in a group of two and I have a 10 month period to make the app.
The question I hope any of XDA developers would help me answer is :
Can it be done or do I have to look for another graduation project? If yes, what materials(books, tutorials,...) should I start searching for if I want to make this project better?
I appreciate any help regarding this question...
Sorry for my bad English...
Sounds good.
Yes, I do think it is possible. And by the way, great Idea for a project. I know someone in my university that did something similar. And seeing as google provides image search, you could borrow google's service for that image thing you mentioned.
Augmented reality is becoming a massive business and it will be interesting to see what you come up with.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted but this is all my experience in augmented stuff combined to answer your question. But nothing is impossible. As a heads up This project may be a lot of work.
What computer languages do you know?

Thank you so much for your assistance. I have an average knowledge in Java and C languages.If it is not much trouble, can you ask the person who did it in your university about the best resources to start with in order to achieve a good application.
Also, Thanks a lot for the great tip about using Google image search.
Will do when he gets back from China . Haven't seen him for nearly a year. Apparently he is doing some sort of martial arts course.
You finished the work or you chose other subject for the degree project?

Hello everyone. I have a quick question...
I currently own and operate a valet parking company and I am looking to have an app created that will give our guests the ability to either scan, using QR scanner, or send a text to a dedicated device so that we can have their vehicle up front and ready for them, 15-20 minutes before they walk out the door.
That is the basics of it, and I know there are other apps in the playstore which do this sort of operation, but I want to create my own.
So my question is, and I have done some research on it within XDA, but wanted to seek the guidance of someone who has done this sort of work. What are my best options for creating and getting this app developed, running, and installed within android and iOS?
Hopefully I am asking this in the correct forum location, if not, please advise me where to post.
Thank You very much!

You can post your requirement on freelancer dot com and set your price. many freelancers are available to do the work.
Once the app is developed, you can publish your app in google play.

Great, thank you!
Good morning,
Apologies in advance - newbie here with some great ideas that I'd like to put to use in an app but a bit clueless whereto begin. I'm looking at creating an app that will let users create events at pre-defined locations (i.e nightclubs which will contain a bio/info) which will be displayed in a list as well as on a map (ideally google maps which everyone is familiar with). Users should also be able to RSVP to the event.
Any idea what kind of framework/tools i will require for this project?
Any help is appreciated
Kind regards,
Erik

Hi all,
Firstly I'm sorry for posting a question here for what might seemingly be a simple task, however despite googling and researching for about 2 weeks I'm no closer to my goal.
I'm building a car dash using a nexus 7, and using kustom live wallpaper to create a unique frontend. Everything is going well however I am struggling with one thing...
I want to keep GPS on (no problem) which constantly grabs my location (no problem). I then want to set my location to a variable which is then pushed via tasker to KLWP (again, no problem!). My problem is that it outputs the WHOLE address. This is a problem. I've managed to get it down to displaying just the house number and the street name, however I want JUST the street name, eg King Street or Queens Avenue.
The idea is that while I'm driving along the road name is automatically displayed.
How on earth can I do this? My knowledge of tasker and variables is very limited and I've only been able to get this far by messing about with various settings but doing this for 2 weeks and not getting any closer is beyond frustrating. I know what I'm trying to achieve is not impossible which frustrates me more.
Guys and girls, I'm extremely grateful for any help or guidance.
Lastly, sorry for the whole 'new account 1 post which is a question' vibe. I've been coming here for years with a different account but I couldn't remember the password, and password reset returned a 404 page :/
Thanks again
Antony
