I'm looking to develop an android app for my schools cafeteria.
They want an app that can display our menu choices for the day and can be changed on a day to day basis. I'm looking for any tips, considering I'm a beginner coder and would like to make this happen.
I have already installed the Android Studio and its up and running

Thread closed, thanks.
First of all, i have lurked in several threads but am still a novice in the xda community - so allow me to apologize in advance for posting a question that may very well be asked in the wrong thread. I know this community has an abundance of knowledgeble members, so this was my first destination to find the answer I was looking for.
Q:
Is there a way (without root preferably?) anyone is aware of to create a user defined system for placing newly downloaded app icons on my desktop?
I am very particular about aesthetics when it comes to my phone, and i absolutely hate icons being placed in what seens to be an almost random pattern.
I want to be able to create a user defined placement system that chooses the exact page, column, and row in which the next icon will be automatically placed after it is downloaded. There should be an order of importance that i could set so my device knows that if 'x'spot is taken then the icon instead goes 'y'.
I hope this made sense.
I generally use Nova Prime as my home screen replacement, and my device is running 4.4.2.
I am not currently rooted (but rooting is an option if thats the only way to make it happen).
Thanks in advance for any help i receive.

These line change as move the phone around. And the green lines flicker constantly and the app just simple does not move ahead as there is nothing making sense that is displayed. Mostly unity apps do this sorta malfunction. I use gionee s 5.5. Help me.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for help and this is the last place i'm having hopes for..
I have native android app that was developed by me. and my company wants to put this app in tablet so then the app has true kiosk mode, loading on the start, auto-updating (somehow?? today I'm checking it with api call and forcing users to go to google play)
The current kiosk mode i have - isn't working that well across all the devices, Some tablets like samsung 8 inchers will cause app to crash on requesting device administrator. Some tablets don't allow me to disable turn the screen back on if user clicked on the button.
We would also like to add some AdMob and AdColony SDK's there but now the issue is that if either of this networks has a link to google play or just a web link it fires intent and kicking chrome instead which knocks my app to the background in some devices.
What do we need to do from here? I mean what do we need to find to get it done? We would be buying some specific tablets for that too so I guess we can modify ROM if that is required but I'm really don't have any clue where to start here.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to install an apk to a folder on my SD which will limit the potential size that the apk will grow to. Any advice? Appreciated !
I first thought of creating a separate partition on the SDcard to install the apk to, but I'd like to do that without formatting (wiping the SDcard)?

Thank you, I'm finding my way about the site.
Unrelated: I was in a website the other day and noticed they have some really nice layout buttons for responding. What do you think? (Screenshot attached).
I thought they'd look pretty nifty on XDA.

They look similar to the XDA buttons (I use the 2013 theme). Buttons are buttons to me, as long as they're in the right spot I'm happy.
What do you use the 2013 theme for, do you have a website I can check out?
I just mention the design as I found the buttons on XDA a little confusing at first and some other members, well one, (in particular) said that I had quoted too long or something like that.
So I was just wondering about it and I noticed this little layout when I was on another website. I just thought I'd mention it. It looks quite nice and self explanatory. As a new member I found the respond buttons a little bit confusing. Would you be kind enough to explain to me what the button that looks like a one of a pair of speech marks is for exactly (I say one of a pair, as in the UK we use double quotation marks). When one uses the reply button and the auto quote goes into the field, do you then have to then just delete that each time, or is there a way around that?
I'm just wondering.
I was also wondering, you might be able to give me some advice on the best way to respond on these forums. Is there an app that you can suggest that would be particularly good for responding on XDA and other forums in general?
I tried Tapatalk once before and found it glitchy, like it had its own agenda and wanted to wiz me around all over the net instead of being functional.

If you scroll down to the bottom of any page here you'll find a bar on the left that says "XDA 2015". If you click that there's a drop down menu that brings up all the themes you can use. I use the XDA 2013 beta because I think that has the cleanest layout.
The speech marks always refer to quoting a post which is what I just did now. You can edit what your quoting and delete parts out of it. Just play around with the editor and you'll get it. As for an app, try XDA labs. You can click the banner in my signature to go to that thread.
Great, Thank you Art Vanderlay. Got it!

I've had a look in the "groups" section. There doesn't appear to be all that much activity in there (at least in the groups I looked at).
Can you suggest a good group, or place (area) for hanging out and perhaps learning a bit more about Android, app making and what's going on @ the scene as a whole?
