Droid Trivia - Quiz game

Later last year my Google Play account has been suspended (long story short, you can't publish an application that tests if the user's device has a security hole. The application didn't do any harm at all, but it's Google rules so nothing I could do when because of that minor detail they removed my account along with all its associated applications; you can read about the app that caused my expulsion here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/location-security-exploit-on-samsung-devices/ ).
Later, I got in touch with Google which they didn't have much to say but said I could republish the applications I had that had not led to my expulsion back on the Market but I would have to use another account. Not all good, but not entirely bad.
Enough about that, for almost half a year I had the intention of getting some of my content back on Google Play, but I decided early on that if I already had lost all download statistics there was no rush in doing it and I would look at with as an opportunity to make all the stuff that I wanted to do the way I think it should be done, I'm talking about refactoring the code and bugfixes; note that the game was on the Android Market since the days of Android 1.5 and I had learned so much in the meanwhile that when I was looking at the code I wanted to make it all over again but only better. So that's what I did and even if it does not pay back, at least I know I did it my way .
To avoid the confusion with the previous version, and since I rewrote most of the application from scratch, I renamed the game as Droid Trivia.
Without further talk, here's the Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stomachion.droidtrivia
or on Handster: http://www.handster.com/droid_trivia_r788.html?dm=1&multi=1
I really appreciate if all of you reading this would try the game and rate. I'm really proud that I made the game easily playable with up to 4 players and not to repeat questions until it is no longer possible to not repeat. The game is also way more stable and faster than before, and it now bundles 3 languages : English, Italian and Greek.
As any good programmer, I always want to do more and more and end up never thinking it is perfect but at least I think it is ready for deployment and stable enough for the general public. Some things I plan for the future are tablet support and some more eye candy, and of course more questions as that is the game's fuel . That said, I'm open to suggestions and bug reports has I always have been.

[APP][2.2+]Wiki Lecturer Free/Pro

We here at ArcDatum are trying to get some feedback on our new applications Wiki Lecturer Free and Wiki Lecturer Pro. It basically combines Wikipedia and Music player features to create your own personal educational audio book containing all the world's knowledge. Android is supported for now and we need to test its viability as a useful app before porting it to other platforms.
Some features:
Reads your article to you using Text-to-Speech
Lets you build play queues (just like playlists in music players)
Has image zoom capability (something we found that wiki apps don't have; basically it lets you click any image link and it'll grab the full size version for you)
Supports many languages both for reading and in Text-to-Speech
Many more
Do note that some of the greatest features (like playing in the background and the widget) are only available in the Pro version for obvious reasons.
Free version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcdatum.wikilecturer&feature=search_result
Pro version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcdatum.wikilecturerPro&feature=search_result
Note: You can just look up "Wiki Lecturer" in the Play store and you'll find us. In other languages like French it might be "Wiki Professeur" etc. We will update this post with the actual play links when XDA lets us.
You can find our app logo in the attachments.
Please do remember that our app is in it's early stages and that we are looking to improve it according to user concerns. We are not necessarily looking for a full review at this time but if you feel that the app is ready for one, do let us know.
If you have any questions, comments, or ideas as to how we can further our marketing efforts you can contact us at [email protected]
Edit: added the Google Play links

[APP][4.0.3+][1.0][machine learning] Gluru Smart File Manager alpha - feedback needed

Hi all,
We’re a small London based team with a mix of past experience directly at Android, Amazon & Apple and having built successful apps in the past such as utter! We’re creating a smart text based file manager called Gluru - built around the objective of trying to save time & trying to predict what you need (hopefully before you even know) - as a result we’re recruiting early testers and looking to get much needed feedback to improve the app. It’s really early days! The app is free for XDA testers - simply request an invite at: www.gluru.co
OR @ via the Google play link here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gluru.android.core&ah=uGBuHY10kqclbX5pnZdQIWsNjus
Ultimately as we develop this and role out future updates we believe this will supercharge workflow collaboration as a file explorer with a brain that learns from you either individually or as a team. It’s early days but we believe we’re on to something pretty exciting with the machine learning platform & algorithms that have been built and of course the early version of the app available at the link below - which we’re also quickly going to iterate because we know it’s not perfect. This is where you come in! As mentioned the app is free for XDA testers - simply request an invite at: www.gluru.co
Couple of example use cases to get the juices flowing (feature list further down):
- need a file for that call? receive a call and get the files you need immediately for that conversation
- need the slide deck for that meeting? get the files you need for that meeting in the moment.
- looking for that file and can’t remember where it is? search across & view all your connected sources in one simple place.
Gluru learns from you the more you use it. Simply swipe away the less relevant file suggestions and it will optimise itself.
We need your feedback to help tweak our event interaction. What use cases do you think we’ve missed?
You can give us feedback in 3 ways:
- via this forum
- via the specific XDA email address we’ve set-up: [email protected]
- or via the feedback form here: https://gluru.co/feedback/
We really want to understand what’s useful, what works, what doesn’t, suggestions for improvements, ideas for new features and just general feedback if the mood takes you Feedback is super valuable for us at this stage to help us build & iterate quickly.
A ‘highlights list’ of Gluru features is below for more info. We’ll endeavour to get back to all comments as quickly as we can!
Many thanks for all you help & valuable feedback!
Tim & Ben
Gluru - a simple file manager with a brain
Highlights:
- simple local file manager
- connect and manage external sources to consolidate storage in one place: Gdrive, Dropbox, Box, Onedrive, Evernote, Gmail, Gcal, Exchange
- create virtual hierarchy across all sources, simply add files from any source without physically moving them into a ‘virtual’ Gluru folder
- a simple view showing the most recent files sent by your contacts
- via the Gluru Footprint, get a quick understanding of the important stuff about each file - every file is summarised into its most important points, related files are surfaced, anyone who has touched it is surfaced, all links are extracted and any relevant news related to your file is highlighted
- switch smart notifications on or off so that files are sent to you in the moments you need them
- the more you use Gluru, the more it learns from you to enhance your recommendations
Please note - Gluru does not move your files unless you decide to - Gluru is just the connective link between them. They remain in the storage sources you’ve designated.
Gluru is currently in alpha invite stage - so we really value your feedback. As we can’t respond in detail here, please do leave any comments, feedback or bug reports via our feedback form here:
https://gluru.co/feedback/
Known bugs (that are being fixed!):
- Events - fix some swipe actions, fix dismiss/ delete animations
- Lag - occasional lag in some areas as the app is caching
- Visuals - improvements in some areas of design resolution
- Footprint news - related news accuracy not upto scratch - big(!) improvements coming soon
Coming soon:
- Auto-push - designate a cloud source and all email attachments which automatically pushed to a folder in that source
- Multiple user and device support for teams
- Notification learning acceleration
- Projects
- People Improvements
- Events Improvements
Platform & apps:
Gluru works by using its patent pending smart machine learning platform. The platform is accessible through the Gluru android app. There will soon be a website, an iOS app & an api for developers & enterprise to use the platform.
Language support:
Currently Gluru assistant is optimized for English. Other languages are coming soon.

That actually looks sophisticated. Any chance that you'll open the source code so we can be sure you won't do evil things?

Hi Rosa - thanks so much for posting. We're committed to being transparent and open. Security and privacy mean everything to us and as a result we've been careful to build this in a way that maintains that. We've talked about open sourcing this at somepoint in the future but we're not quite ready yet. Very happy to answer any questions that may come up and also keen for people to test the app and give us feedback. You can deauth the app at any time which deletes your account instantly. I hope this helps!

OK, thank you. I filed an invite request. :good:

Thank you all for the fantastic feedback so far via our direct email and feedback forms. Can I encourage direct postings on this thread so that any answers can benefit the community. Many thanks!

Open source app development

Hi guys.. first of all i'm new to android dev and this forum. so excuse me for any mistake.. The reason im posting here is i had an idea for an app i always felt need about and couldnt find on play store. I call it irevise.
Its a simple notes making app for students(yes there are many) but with a change. A homescreen widget with additional features to make it easy and convenient to revise/memorise the study material. am studying myself and so had started this project.. have got it into a decent app as of now for my use but there are many additional features to be added, and due to lack of time/expertise/funds i may never complete them all.. so came up with the idea of opensource. Ive released it under Apache license 2.0 on sourceforge. sourceforge.net/projects/irevise/
Invite you all to come and develop together to make this into a cool app
Am providing brief info below for anyone intrested..
Description
Well we all sweat trying to learn those nasty chemical formulae, or the weird biological names or maybe some antonyms and synonyms.Whatever it is anything which can make us learn our books better is just a boon. And when it happens automatically, its just amazing. This little appdoes exactly that. Now quickly make your own small notes for things you feel are difficult to learn.Save in the tiny I revise app,and add the widget. And it makes the notes available on your home screen so they cross your eyes every time you unlock your phone. And they get changed automatically so you get them all... Simple huh? Yes but very effective!! And with so many exciting features lined up it could end up as a really awesum tool.. So why waiting, lets code it !!
Features
Quick Revision Tool For students
Supports android 2.3+
Homescreen Widget (Auto Updating)
Backup/Restore Notes (to be added )
Share Notes (to be added)
Study Circle (to Be added)
Inviting everyone to work on the features mentioned and any extras which may be useful.. Also haven't been able to publish on play store as my old account was suspended by google(dunno why) and i dont have an additional card.. so apk also available there only...

its a nice oppurtunity especially for newbies like me to improve our sills, work as a team and get a useful app built in the process.. the biggies can always practice and show off their skills too

[App][2.3+] iRevise -- quickly makes notes and revise!

GUYS, here is my first app on xda.. A very simple app in comparison to the biggies here, but couldn't find any app in play store which had this feature.. So here it is.. ANd ive released it on sourceforge under Apache License V2.0, so anyone interested to come forward in building this further is most welcome..
Though there are a lot of notes apps with lots f features none has the ability to revise it them via home screen. And as me and my friends are using it , its definitely very useful for students..
Waiting for your feedback/help/contributions.....
