I want to create an app for a forum that I visit a lot, problem is I don't know where to start. I want it to kinda do what the app for this site does, Pulls new threads, news topics so on... Thanks in advance for the directions.
There is an app called Tapatalk for that. Just check whether the forum is supported or not. If not just ask the forum's owner to apply the plugin. You don't need to go all the way to app dev for that.
Hello,
Is it possible to subscribe to a device forum? Like this one for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-500
Instead of heaving to subscribe to all the separate subforums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-500/general
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-500/development
etc, etc..
Hi there,
On the site, it's not possible.
However, if you're using an app to access XDA then you can simply find the Desire 500 forum and long press it and select the option to subscribe to that forum.
Good luck
OK thanks, it would be a nice feature on the site though. If you have a lot of devices it gets a bit messy in control panel
Hi,
I use Tapatalk on Windows and Android, and get DOZENS of XDA notifications every day from forums I have never visited or subscribed to.
How do I get XDA to stop sending these random notifications?
Thanks,
Mark.
Hi,
Go to the app settings, notifications and unchecked the categories you don't want notification for. Or all of them.
?
Hi
The android one is set as I like it, just subscribed topics and forums. At present just one topic no forums... So I shouldn't be getting all this stuff!
The windows version doesn't seem to have those settings, I'll look again later. Tx.
When subscribed to a forum section and forum section notification is on... You get a notification about every single new thread created.

Hi darth.
I am subscribed only to one thread and no forums... but got 37 notifications in a day, see the jpeg attached...
So frustrating.
Ah! Those are notifications of posts of yours that were quoted. In Tapatalk and xda app you can uncheck notification of quoted posts. Honestly, the notification system can be whacky tho..... See here for where I mean,
Any other app issues can be asked about here...

Thanks Darth,
that pic I attached I guess do not explain why I get notifications for forums I am not subscribed to... and my Tapatalk app is set for getting NO notifications from subscribed forums.
I will check out that other thread you mentioned.
Cheers,
Mark.

Again, those 37 quotes are from your posts that have been quoted by others.
I don't know about your other notifications, but that's what those 37 are. ?
I just quoted so, so there's another. ?
See these images,
Not subscribed to any forums
Subscribed to ONE topic
And see the type of notification I am getting to some new thread in a forum I have never seen...
Not subscribed to any forums:
Subscribed to ONE thread only (this thread!):
Yet I keep on getting these notifications for new threads that I am not interested in receiving... how do I stop these:
I'd love to get to the bottom of this...
Tx
Mark.
I'm Confused.... You Began saying the Apps were sending you notifications, but your screen shots are the browser. Is your issue notifications in general, like in the browser, 9r received ones on your device from the apps... Which I showed you how to turn off.
Well, I showed you where to ask about app issues, and for notification issues in general, Please ask here...

XDA Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support.... So not much more to discuss here.
Good luck! Thread closed.
I've found the mobile site frustrating to view because it jumps around and takes ages to load. All the Android apps I can find for XDA force you to scroll through ten thousand unrelated forums to find the one you need in a seemingly randomly organized list.
Surely there must be some decent way to use a forum dedicated to mobile devices on a mobile device? Just curious how other people are doing it.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. In the mobile app go to forums. Scroll down to the forum(s) you want to subscribe to and long press on it. Then subscribe to it. Then check your favorites in the mobile app. You should find the forums you subscribe to there.

Hi,
I am looking for the right place to get support for the official XDA developer app on android.
I could not identify where I can get this here on the site.
I looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps
and here: http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-android-app/
but neither provided a clear location where to ask questions about the app.
My question is how to add favorite forums/threads in the app (or on the web for that matter). There is a heart symbol on top the the app screen and I have no idea how to use that.
thanks!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
You can subscribe to any forum or thread. To do that from the mobile app, simply click on the start (or heart) symbol that appears on the status bar while you're viewing that forum or thread, or long-press on the thread/forum name and select "subscribe" from the menu.. To view your subscribed threads from a browser, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php. For each subscription, you can select various options such as whether you want to be informed of new post by email weekly, daily, immediately or not at all. If you select not to be notified, the subscribed threads/forums become a list of "favorites" to which you can refer quickly. For matters dealing with the xda-developers.com site or any of it components and tools, visit the "About xda-developers.com" forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda. If you have specific questions about the XDA Android Apps, ask in the "XDA Android App - Problems / Bugs / Feature Requests etc." thread there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841646.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply & help! I was not aware that "favorites" = "subscriptions". I was looking for another button to make a forum a favorite. It's clear now.
