I recently found the photobucket mobile http://m.photobucket.com and thought it would be nice to have a shortcut or an app that makes it quick to send a photo to my account.
So far I created a shortcut on start menu that leads to ":MSINBOX -service "Gmail" -to "myaccountaddress" -subject "New Pictures"". I would like to find the right parameters to lead to "Menu,Insert,Picture". So it takes me straight to choosing my photos. Is this possible with a command line? Or do I need something like mortscript to get to that point?
EDIT:I tried these commmands so far plus some others(just added to end of above): -insert; -attach; -picture
Any help would be appreciated. I did search (which is how I got to this point), but couln't find what I needed. THANKS in advance. I will share what I come up, as I would like to also link to a photobucket icon to make it look like an app.
I see that there is an uploading app for Verizon and some other carriers. This is not what I'm interested in. I dont use data, and dont want to pay an extra 2.99 a month for the uploading service. I would like to either select my shortcut and select photos, or somehow add send to...photobucket to the default Pictures & Videos app(pimg.exe).

This will probably be better answered in the Q&A section (and it should probably be there as it's a question), so that's where it's going!

Thats a no then
Anyway did you ever get anywhere with this?
Hi ,
I Have a very good idea for an app that is rather simple but very useful. It involves simply a Specific picture which you can zoom and pan around then there are a few text boxes I want included in the app to search.
For example , A route finder that is already on the internet. You enter the details on the box on the computer then the results come up. But i want the boxes off the website and instead linked to my app , then the results appear on my app. So a search function is possible via the application.
The problem is I am a total newbie to codes etc and haven't got a clue where to start in the least. The app is very simple and an experienced person could create it in know time but I am a newbie and willing to learn to create some useful apps to put on the market free for all to share.
Thanks

Have a look at the Android Developers website
Hi ,
Thanks for that , I've had a look but it is so so confusing :S
Oh yes , and if it counts I'm going to be using windows vista to create the app?? Is there possibly a beginners guide to creating these apps or what??
Oh yes and I have now got one part sorted (sort of) , I will use the image viewer already on the phone to allow the scrolling and zoom of the image.
Anyone got an idea how long it would approximately take to create such an app??
im not sure if it is available to do yet but i am currently running 2.1 Eclair Hero Rom (Eugene373)
as currently with any ROM for example browser icon would show the 'browser' title. is there anyway that we can removing titling for the application shortcuts on the homescreen without using different UI (home replacements)?

I don't know if you can ... I know that when developing the app for example in eclipse, that is the first thing you do. you set the title of the app.
You like many other people are still posting these questions in development. I kindly ask if you can please read the first post in development. It explains where this post should be posted.
have a good day!
I don't know the answer I'm afraid but this would be better placed in the developers thread or even in Q&A.
Please take the time to read the stickied threads on the forum, the last one in particular.
Hope you find what your looking for.

Both me and Rooktard said we did not know the answer and was merely trying to move him to the appropriate place to post.
If people didn't understand where to post then we would never be able to find any roms or mods due to the amount of junk being posted anywhere. That is why the site managers wwent to the trouble of providing a structured format for each differing section.
The only true way to help them is by steering them onto the correct path making it a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Its just that this place is getting kinda miserable with all the "WRONG FORUM" replies. It's just a simple mistake, it doesn't need to be repeated by several people in the same thread.

Well the repeat was due to both repling at the same time as this is not live I cannot see what's replied to whilst I type.
And we had a thread last night that got silly because rather than help I posted something that got some upset.
Seems being nice gets you the same amount of people unhappy as just being straight to the point.
Guess we just can't win with some .....
oohhh! i am very sorry i totally forgot to put it in the right section.
thanks for help also, ill be happy with what i have but it seems it could be a possibility at some time.
technically it could be in this section because it could be developed but im no expert at doing so..>.<
but yeah thanks for the heads up.
i always visit the dream development because i always do tweakings to my phone and it was 1st instincts as soon as i loaded xda
any moderator able to transfer it to Q&A G1?
thanks for the answers xda's
I have a question but I'm to lazy to think or search.....ill make a new thread in dev section n mu question is Have u seen my brain?
Here are a couple of things to try, not sure if any or all will work or not.
1. Use Bettercut or Anycut, choose edit an existing, then for your first icon that you want to remove the name for, replace it with one space (hit the spacebar once). For the second one, replace the name with two spaces. For the third, three spaces. And so on. I'm almost positive this one will work.
2. If #1 doesn't work, I'm not sure whether or not the homescreen recognizes HTML code or not. If it does, instead of using spaces, type the following instead of a space. You'll need to do this for each space you are trying to type (and do not type the quotation marks): " "
3. If #1 and #2 don't work, then hold down ALT and press the spacebar once. That should create a ANSI space. You'll want to do that for each space you're wanting to create.
Since I believe each icon on the homescreen has to have a different name (Don't have my phone right now to test it), that's why you'll need a different number of spaces for each name. In other words, the 1st icon would need 1 space, the 2nd icon would need 2 spaces, the 3rd icon would need four spaces, etc. That may not be entirely necessary, but it won't hurt anything either.
Please let me know which, if any, of these tricks work.
Wish I could test this and give you the exact answer. But I believe the first example works. Grab Anycut off the Market and give it a try.

+1. I was going to suggest the same thing.

I used betterCut and I used one space for a shortcut. Well... It works if you don't mind that text background still there. So its not really great.
I am just after a widget that lets me enter my own text, maybe select some basic formatting options and that's it. I want to have some little headings on my different home screens.
nice idea. something that looks like stock froyo would be great. something skinnable would be better.
Banner or TextWidget
Did either of you think to search the Market before posting here?

Not sure if you'll be able to hear me up there on your high horse, but for your information I searched for 'text widget' on AppBrain (cos I have very poor connection on my phone at work) and nothing relevant came up.
Sorry to waste your time and thanks for your help

I can hear an irritating squeak.
"text widget" was the exact search string I used to return the results... perhaps it's a different market?

I think so, see for yourself http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=text+widget
Pwnd, thread lock in 5..4..3....jk but try searching on cyrket next time I find it to be more accurate
Cyrket/androlib are market front ends, appbrain is not. Appbrain filters out the junk..
So if looking for a real market then appbrain is indeed not what your looking for
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
While Appbrain does filter it doesn't completely remove apps from view it just makes them much less prominent if they are assesed to be junk. Have a look at this search http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=woman
You can see how most of these results have been filtered, doesn't stop them being viewable or installable if you really want to.
Indeed if you search for textwidget as one word http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=textwidget you do get the app suggested above, so it's not filtered out
Im wondering if there is a place to submit ideas on widgets/apps. There's not many people with the talent/skills to create programs but its sometimes the ones that know less that can think out the box.
Does anyone know of such a place?
I have this idea for an Instant Messenger widget. Since im very fond of widgets (because to me its a huge difference between our apps and iOS apps) I would love to be able to go through my AIM/Yahoo Buddy list on screen and send a message to someone that way without having to open up the specific app.
If something like this already exists id love to know about it. Even if its just a widget showing you who's online and when tapping sends you to an IM box (Kinda like the FB widget that shows you recent status updates/news posts.) If not id love to spread the idea and see if anyone can create such a thing.
Post this in the general android forums under the proper section rather than a device-specific forum under Development (where it should not be). Someone there might have some ideas.

I was thinking that but I've seen many other IM apps that weren't made by AOL or Yahoo so I figured a 3rd party would be more interested then the main source. Especially after seeing AOL ruin their AIM app with their recent upgrade.
Is there a way a Mod can redirect this thread to the proper place or should I just create a new one?

I promise you that none of the developers in this forum would be willing to spend time on an AOL widget I didn't know anyone still used that.

Yeah Im sure its a dying program but I figured it would bring it back a bit if it was always on =P like BBM ... when I had a bb i hated bbm but i used it cuz it was just ALWAYS on. If I had a widget I would always be on lol if i had the time I would love to learn how these things work and just make one.
