Right step toward the Android application development starts with the selection of best tool. Top criteria that must be reviewed should include easy to use UI that can allow just about anyone to do it with a short training, multi mobile platform and device support issues and the availability of dev + test + packing functions without switching the screens or tools.
There are few tools who claimed to do that. However many fails to meet all criteria.
I have tried mBizmaker recently and found that it was very kind to people like myself with very little technical knowledge. It was easy and simple. It only took me an hour to develop and test simple scheduler for my Samsung phone.
Just wanted to share some of my experience.
*Mods: if this is posted in the wrong place I apologize, couldn't find a more suitable forum.
Hello XDA,
My client, which is a company based in NYC is looking for a serious developer to help create their own "closed OS" (think Amazon.. etc).
Knowing how many insanely amazing devs are on XDA I figured i'll give it a shot
Please see the ad below:
We are looking to design a company only closed system tablet.
The tablet will be used by our employees and should be restricted to company specific apps.
Users will have no access to the full options / settings of the system, will not be able to install anything.. etc.
The system we are looking for:
• Closed OS system that will only run specific apps. Users should have no access to well.. anything but the apps we need on it. (think Amazon tablets).
• Ability to push updates and notifications.
• Ability to remote manage the device.
• Multiple interfaces (2 to start with) – based on the login.
• We are open to device suggestions, whatever will make development easier. 8-10”.
The person we are looking for:
• Local - We are based in NYC (Manhattan) and would like someone that we can work face to face with.
• Professional and knowledgeable – You need to know the Android system inside out, or at least well enough to strip / adjust features as needed.
• Have time – We need someone who can dedicate the time needed, when needed (within reason of course). Would like to have an alpha version ready within 2-3 months (again, if possible).
• Must be allowed to work in the U.S.
You will be required to sign an NDA and non-compete during the first meeting.
Interested ?
Shoot me a PM with a little info about yourself and an email you can be reached.
And please, serious inquires only, this is a paid project which will be on going for a long time if it works out.
Thanks everyone!
I appologize if this is a dumb question, but I am new to app development, altough some experienced in php/html.
I want to create an app where user fills in forms. The app development is easy to find info about, but i also want a back end plattform where I read the submitted forms and organize users.
So, my question. Is there a sort of ready wordpress like plattform to customize, or should this be built from scratch? If so, which platform is the best?
One note I should add about Buddy (full disclosure: I work there) is that we maintain independent instances of the platform in different locations around the world. If you need to host your backend in Europe (for response time or data sovereignty reasons, for example), you can choose your app backend to be sandboxed in the EU. Likewise the US and likewise China (with Brazil, Singapore and Australia coming soon).
he best way to develop mobile apps is to use REST services. So now you can choose any thing.
Any language that can used for server side programming can be used.
Now it is up to you choose the language.
If you familiar with JavaScript then you can try nodejs. You can make small app server in it.
But if your server software design is very complex (containing threads and synchronisation) then java can be handy.
But there is no restriction of language.
Firebase should be also a way to go for this.
The best android back end services include, Parse, Kumulos, Kinvey, backendless, QuickBlox.
Concerning the forms where users can fill up information, would something like help out?

On Apple's platform you might need an iPhone developer - it is quite possible to create and publish an iPhone app using your form.
I did take the help of mobile apps development service in toronto to know the process which is described here: http://support.brightcove.com/en/app-cloud/docs/step-step-guide-publishing-apple-app-store-using-mac
Thanks Carol for sharing such a wonderful article.

I have heard good things about Hasura (Not affiliated in anyway). And I think parse - mentioned above - is no longer available.
I'm wondering why nobody mentioned Google CLoud or AWS. They are most mobile friendly for a good price
Hi, if you will decide to build from scratch, there are different options/frameworks. But If you use kotlin you should look to Ktor.

Here, The list of good backend options for an Android app:
1. Parse.
2. Back4app.
3. Firebase.

5. Appcelerator.
Hi Everyone,
Hopefully this is not considered spamming the community. I'm not selling anything!
I've been working on advanced AI for over a decade and have finally gotten it to a point where I've been able to turn it into a startup. Most experts are skeptical to our claims that we've built the first artificial general intelligence, but we will reveal our algorithms and theory at AI World Conference & Expo this November. You can read more about us here: http://www.techworld.com/big-data/what-is-artificial-general-intelligence-3645268/ and http://www.geekwire.com/2016/kimera-systems-nigel-ai-agi/
Anyway, back to my point. We're looking to bring our AI to the masses. We have no interest in building front-end apps and instead would prefer to work with Android developers who has an existing app with existing users and is interested in adding advanced AI to their app. Like I mentioned, we are not charging developers for adding our tech - 100% free.
To give you an idea what the AI does - Initially it sits in the background and just observes. Eventually it will start doing stuff based on what it learns from observing people. For example, it has learned to silence your phone at the movie theater. Previously (before we launched) the AI had learned enough to go out and find "web apps" - for example at a restaurant the AI would pull up a restaurant menu, personalize the menu and even "reprogram" the app to add functionality unique to that user in that moment. It also was able to auto-respond to text messages.
The Android apps I've envisioning would work great with this are lock screen apps, personal assistants, launchers, automation apps, custom ROMs and other apps that are designed to personalize devices.
If you'd like to chat, pm me.
Cheers,
Mo
how is this work ?
Hi everyone,
Here is a little history first. In 2014 I helped develop a traffic counting app for an engineering buddy. I designed the UI's, the flow charts and wrote the 275-page illustrated, developers manual. The developer had it working in less than 6 weeks, thanks to, as he said, "to the awesome documentation provided". The app has been in use since then and has worked flawlessly on the original 24 tablets I originally purchased for him.
Recently, we have been asked to bring the app to a wider audience so, my question is, "Is there a way to prepare an image of the Android OS containing only the setup we need, and then clone it to the new tablets?" The app is designed as engineering tool and is not listed through Google Play and as such, it does not require most of the bloatware found on the new tablets. The app does require the use of photos, some file management along with network connectivity to send and receive the various data files required and produced by the app.
I have limited experience in rooting, but I have been successful when I done it on my Samsung phones.
As a certified Graphics Designer/Windows and Mac tech/COVID-19 survivor (nearly killed me, literally...LOL), I am aware of the amount of work that goes into aiding people with their "little" projects. Any help or direction in this matter would be deeply appreciated.
