Description- Looking at something worth taking a picture of? Use PhotoSwap and send your picture immediately to another randomly selected PhotoSwap user. In exchange, you'll get a picture from him. You can reply to each picture you receive with another picture. PhotoSwap lets you engage in a real photo-based conversation.
Each picture taken has one and only one recipient. Be surprised by a unique glimpse into someone elses life.
Any thing like this for Windows Mobile??
Could something like this be made?
I like this but dont want to get an iphone to use this app,
i'd put money on it that people would start sending 18+ images. Problem with that is that kids will start to use the service so they can get dirty images.
Haha they have u get like banned for like a week on the version from the iphone. E-mailed the Maker of the App. Says there considering it but no plan of action yet..
Sounds like MMS......
I would love for an Android PhotoSwap clone. That would be awesome.
is there now an app like photoswap?
greetings from Ger
there is always pic swap, but needs updating badly.
(not so) long time reader, first time poster
Ive been working on a Photoswap clone for Android recently after being annoyed at how much Picswap crashes. While not 100% complete, the only real issue so far is that it relies upon a php/mysql web host for hosting the images during transit, which I don't have the funds for. Im going to look at free php/mysql hosts, however I don't know how far they can be trusted. The app so far works better than Picswap, as it offers (without force closing) the following:
- Take a photo and swap it with someone elses
- Send a reply photo back to the person who you last received a photo from, and receive reply photos from others
- Press the 'search' button to autofocus the camera
- All commands available by pressing the menu button, they do not take up screen real estate
The app still needs some polishing, as do the PHP scripts that run on a web server to handle the transfer of files, but otherwise its ready to go (if/when I can afford/find a suitable host for it)
On another note:
I ran wireshark and figured out how picswap operates and could easily make a copy of my app that interfaces with picswaps server, although it would lose out on photo replies. When picswap seems to say the image is corrupt, it looks like the image is not actually corrupt, it is just picswap not able to process it. Ive been able to access the picswap network via a php script to upload an image to it, and receive an image from it, and all images that I have received from it load fine (although some are very high resolution, while others are much smaller in size)
wow this will be really cool, i hope it is just as good as on the iPhone, and "your" programm also receive pictures of iphones!
sry 4 my english !

It won't send/receive photos with iPhone users as I don't have details of how the iPhone app communicates If you have an iPhone (or have access to one) and you are able to run a packet sniffer on the app, Id be happy to look at modifying my app to interface with the iPhone photoswap server
I have uploaded the neccessary scripts to run from a free web host for now, however I cannot post a link to the APK here yet as a new forum user. As there are (obviously) no users of it yet, there arent many images available (Im seeding some into it myself), but with enough users I don't foresee any issues with a lack of photos being seeded into it.
The apps also not complete, and given that its running off a free web host I don't know how long it will currently run before they shut-off the hosting In which case I would need to recompile it with a new host setup. I have developed the app using the Android 2.1 SDK and tested only on a HTC Legend (unrooted). I don't believe there is anything present that would stop it working on other Android handsets/versions, but as I have not tested on anything else I cannot guarantee compatibility.
As Im a new user, Im not able to post links to outside sites until I have been verified by a moderator, however if you PM me your email address I'll be happy to email you APK file (not sure if Im able to PM links to outside sites?)
This sounds great! I'm excited to see how it turns out. Especially if you can get it to interface with the iPhone users as well. If you could send me the APK file, Ciela, that would be really awesome. I have a Droid, so Ill definitely let you know how well it works with that. Ill PM you my email address now. Looking forward to seeing it in its completed form as well.
Ive sent it across to you now
Apparently the app does not run well on the Samsung Galaxy S, whether or not it is related to the lag issues that SGS has is unknown though. It runs fine on my HTC Legend, and I assume it will run fine on other HTC devices as well. Hopefully works well on other non-HTC devices
If I can get access to an iPhone to run a packet sniffer on Photoswap, I don't imagine it would be difficult to integrate with that.
Hi Ciela,
I've got access to an iPhone with Photoswap, and all the tools I require to dump all the packets you'd ever need from Photoswap's transactions. I've also got access to a Galaxy S and a HTC Desire to use for testing.
If you need a hand, give me a shout and I'll devote a fair chuck of my time to helping you get this off the ground, be it by cloning Photoshop or starting something new from the ground up.
It may be wise that if you decide to clone Photoswap, that you get in touch with the developers and see if they're happy for you to go ahead. It'd sure give the Android Photoswap community a great head-start, being merged with the iPhone community. You never know, they may be happy to divulge the API data to you if they like the idea. Without yet dumping any packets, I'd imagine it's all done over HTTPS though, so Padadaz's co-operation would probably be a good thing.
If you decide to go your own way, I've got about 750GB HDD space free on my Xen node, so could spin you up a Debian VM if you need one.
Shout me if you need anything,
Chris
I too would like a copy to test, I have a rooted Desire and Galaxy Tab
I used to use PhotoSwap when I had an iPhone
Hi,
I put this question up at android.net but that doesn’t seem to be a developer forum, one of the guys said I should try here.
I’ve built an icon and I want people to be able to download onto their mobile phone that then sits in the applications, right next to angry birds metaphorically, that is then a simple a link to my mobile website. Is there a tutorial for that anywhere?
I will want to be able to do that for at least iPhone and Andrioid.
Cheers,
Mike.
Anyone have any ideas, I don’t want to have to try another forum!
Thanks for your help XDA Developer…lol.

I got to the bottom of the icon thing, that’s the easy part, in fact when it comes to programming the app part is the easiest part.
I now have a working model with a PC based administration section linked to a database communicating via a web service to iPhone, Windows Phone and Android. I can CRUD from both the phones and PC. It’s a beautiful package if I may say so myself. Now its built world is my oyster.
You may as well delete me from this forum, as you people don’t seem to share I’m not going to either and I won’t be coming back!
Good luck and good bye!
Mike.
Hey Guys,
One of my favorite apps was recently pulled from Google Play. I contacted the developer asking if I could modify some of the source code for my own personal use and he consented. The problem is I am in over my head and can't really figure out how to do what I want to do. I want to add in functionality that the app at one time had (so I'm sure the code is still in there somewhere just disabled.)
It is an app for viewing comic strips. Since I agreed not to distribute I am hoping there is ONE other person who would also like a comic strip viewer and would be willing to help me work on it so they could make use of it too.
If anyone is interested, I would really appreciate it, it would be a great learning experience for me as I am just now getting into coding/development. All I ask is that you do not distribute the app, post it anywhere online, etc and that you are patient enough to work with a beginner.
Thanks.
Hey guys,
Forgive me if this is not the proper forum location to post this.
I have a question about an android system information app. My company is looking at using a very locked down smartphone in the retail stores as a SIP phone over WiFi. Essentially these phones would only be good for wifi calling through our network. I have been able to lock the phone down pretty good but I am having a little bit of trouble finding an app that will monitor the phone and report statistics back to us (through a web browser or email). Basically we would need to remotely check the usage/stats but we don't really want to use something like airdroid or teamviewer as this would disrupt the users usage. Any ideas on a good app? I haven't been able to find anything and I know you guys are digital wizards..
Thanks in advance guys!
Hi all
I've got a little food truck coming together and was looking at installing an ePoS.
There are many companies out there offering hardware and apps but not quite what im looking for.
I'd like to use an Android as a waiter/ cashier device and then send the order to the kitchen's Android device. Currently looking at using 2 Samsung S2 9.7 devices. The normal setup for all ePoS apps that I've found is that you can have a cashier/ waiter android but the order is sent to a BT printer or through a server to a standard EPSON (or similar) thermal paper printer.
i'm pretty sure that what i'm looking for is readily available but i'm not "feeling lucky" in my Google searches.
I don't want the added hardware like barcode scanners and card swipers. Just a couple of food orders from one tablet to the next.
If anyone can lead me in the right direction, I'd be truly grateful.
