greetings, i'm student who has recently started to develop android applications on Eclipse, first that nothing i want to ask everyone ,
where do you think is better to develop appilications on eclipse or android estudio? ,
i want to know if there is a recommendation for book's about android develop ,
is there a page, video or a book who explain about how to use social networks as facebook in an android app
the last question is about , i recently finish a certified on movil applications, but my school does not offer a good one so, mine knowledge is short, to short i would said, so i start this project on my school about an app who tell the students all the events or notifications about school, but, i want to know if i can download that information from the oficial page on facebook
you may think why i want a application if facebook do the work? well not all stuents like facebook and not all of them check it often so with a special app it would be a better wait to communicate the information in my school
i would appreciate any kind of help, thanks.
ps. i from mexico , so if my grammar have error i would appreciate if you can correct them.
Yep........

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.
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 to everyone!
I've been learning to code for a while so to create my own application/software idea but the problem is that I found out that it isn't really my "area". The thing is I still got this awesome idea that I really want to be developed. It's pretty obvious that I'm not just yelling out what the idea specifically is...but... I need someone that:
1- Knows how to develop an app and release to it in "play store".
2- Good all-round(by this I mean can easily jump from one problem to a completely different problem)(I don't need a "programmer or nothing")
3- Well motivated and friendly.
4- This idea obviously needs some funding. I can do that on my own if you don't want to. Without a doubt the profits will be split between us (This will be later accorded when we meet up)
The idea basically is: Develpment of an alternative market. Come on read on... By market I don't mean Aptoid,Snappzmarket where people can steal software...It's a different market.
The idea won't make you a billionare! But it has an incredible amount of potential if done correctly...and that's where I need you.
I currently live in Italy but can travel anywhere in Europe without any problem.
If anyone is interested in this please contact me via PM. I'm relitively new to xda developers but I have been reading loads of great stuff on it so THUMBS UP XDA! I'm not posting my email address for SPAM reasons.
Hi all,
My name is Fabian, and I have a strong background in C. (Done a CS course in C).
I want to do an Android app for my final project(nothing too fancy or complicated but I have to at least have some interface ) and I'm a little stuck with how to proceed from here.
I watched the Java essential course on Lynda and I did understand a little the difference between C in Java, however I don't know how to proceed from here to actual Android development.
If anyone can recommend me finding a crash course, a book or any other resource that could get me up and running as soon as possible, I would really appreciate it.
I don't mind spending money on it.
Thanks in advance.
Fabian

A great resource for Android development is the official Android training documentation from Google, as well as these tutorials. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help.
thanks little question regrading databases

Hi,
Thanks for your help I learned a lot and I'm already planning my app
I just have one question that could really help.
I want to make an app where people on different devices can interact and send each other tasks. I guess I need a kind of SQL server that supports Android, right? Is there a better or at least more economic way to do it if I will have around 1000 users where each one can add people to send tasks to?
Many thanks,
Fabian
And one more question
Is there any way to do a phone number authentication (like Whatsapp) instead of user name and password which I think is a little to tedious for my planned app ?
Thanks in advance
Hola, for the task sending. Would you like to make all task public? Or should you send it like a message?
But when i need access to a server, i use php scripts. But we can take that later, when you have answered my last question
For the phone number authentication, you have to have a online database, with all phone numbers. User inserts their phone number, the first time they starts the app. Then you can retrieve it from the database. But we can also take that later.
I´m glad if i helped.
(Sorry for my bad english.. )
Hola
Well I want it to be like a manager that gives a task to his employee. I want the task to be between them and only they can close it.
Likewise, it would be a problem if I make a simple phone number insertion if there's no validation. I was thinking about a number verification (like whatsapp) to prevent other people from accessing the tasks.
Do you think it's possible or should I go with username and password?
Thanks

I am using OpenShift - https://www.openshift.com/developers - which is a open source cloud architecture in that they offer packages like NodeJS and DB's. They allow you to have 'gears' which I guess is their name for services running on their cloud. The free account has 3 gears.
I currently only have a NodeJS server running to deliver files however (as far as I understand it) you can have MySQL and others as a backend. I would think that whatever devices you develop on would simply log into the DB and look up messages/tasks etc. I would also think that your app could insert those things. The best part is it is free until you reach Enterprise level or so. I would check it out since free is good. Offhand, I do not know what DB's Android supports via java but MySQL is probably one of them.
Just some info for you to examine.
Good luck
Hola, of course its possible! But maybe Username and Password is easiest.
You can use e-mail validation.
I actually worked on a application, there store products in databases. So i have tried it before. Ask if you are confused
And Sum1nil, sqlite is implemented in android, so for local database, use sqlite.
But for online database access, i use php
Hi everyone i am new to android and i want to learn how to make android apps and games, is their a official link to a tutorial or pdf for the android studio that i could use to learn and master android studio, or if there is a respected community developer who has made a set of videos to teach and explain android studio to novices i would much appreciate a link to that youtube channel.
some background on me.
I have no programming experience at all.
i dont know any of them programming terms
my best skill would be inspecting a webpage and removing any line of code that gets in my way such as an addvert or popup etc but thats as far as it goes.
i should start with this .
I had tried becoming a game creator some years back but i was a complete novice i couldn't even find how to download and install the studio program so i gave up but the ideas for games with either an amazing storyline or funny storyline would always come to me but i would always shrug it off.
now with covid-19 ruining everything im jobless and i also have a lot of free time. i believe it would be very advantageous to learn something amazing during this time, i could wish i came here this time last year but regardless im here now
i decided to post this in xda forums as anytime in the past when i had a problem on my phone and id ask google for a solution i'd always get a link to some article or an xda-forum page which would explain and help how to fix said problem while i was their i could see that this website was really interested in android apps games etc
thank you in advance
