Hi guys need help deciding on an app idea to create for my Uni project - General Topics

I am a beginner and its the first time I'm actually using android studio. Can anyone think of any simple but complex ideas that I could create for a uni project?
Thank you

Yes. see my post here: I'm looking for an app to backup / restore Email (and other accounts) WITH passwords - from one android to another across platforms and versions.
Backup and Restore ALL Accounts on android
GOAL - a universal backup and restore solution that can take ALL device accounts and ALL their related passwords - back them up - and restore them to ANY version of android - including Phones, Tablets, and Emulators such as bluestacks, memu, nox...
forum.xda-developers.com
Here is a link to the account transfer API info - not sure how accurate it is:
Account Transfer API | Android Developers
developer.android.com

whatever you choose I wish you good luck!

How about an Authentication or Bank app; a lot of experience and respect will come from that.

[CLOSED][APP] ScoreKeeper Plus - a free score keeping app. Could use some feedback!

HI all,
I'm somewhat new here -- been lurking a while, and have recently started posting. Anyways, I recently hit the marketplace with a free app I've developed, ScoreKeeper Plus: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bammsoft.scorekeeper
In a nutshell, it's a score keeping app, tailored towards board games and the likes, with many uses. Additionally, I've included a few useful utilities for such events -- a highly configurable dice roller and a game timer.
So far, I've received perfect reviews from my modest user-base (~20 users), but I'm looking to grow that and get some feedback to further development.
The app is free and has no ads, so please share with all who may find this useful!
All feedback is HIGHLY appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Why does the app need permission to read contact data on the phone?
The description says why internet access is needed, but the combination of that and reading contact data for an app that doesn't seem to obviously need the phonebook could look suspicious.

See screenshot attached.
Hi sorry, I missed this question. Thanks to the poster above, yes it's to pick player names from your contact list.
The network permission is to pull a message of the day when you first launch the app. The MOTD let's me communicate with my users. It pulls from here: http://android.bammsoft.com/ScoreKeeper/MOTD.txt
On a side note, I'm quite pleased because there's been an explosion of new users, a 700% increase in the past 2 days!
Cheers,
Shane
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Just pushed a significant update (1.2.0). I added many translations and completely overhauled the new game screen.
Check it out!
EDIT: It's still propagating through the play store
EDIT 2: Is available now.
I want to reset my Note 3 to factory defaults. But I'm worried that my saved scores are gone after this. So my question is where are the scores saved and can I make a backup of it.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
HS1986
@sjb933 do you have an alternative to your app or are you willing to put the app code in open source so it can be continued by others?

If your phone is rooted yes you can. Contact me by pm if you want more info
the links posted were directing to a paid application which is against the forum rules

[Completed] [Q] Android App transfer of ownership

In regards to app transfer process, has anyone experienced difficulties after a transfer of ownership was done?
We are developing an app for a client, who have an existing app being hosted and managed by a 3rd party vendor. We need to understand the process of helping the client get ownership of the current app and then with the same name of the app, push our (new) binaries as an update to the app. The key thing is that there should not be any disruption to the current service and the transition to the new app is transparent to the users – All reviews, ratings etc. remain the same.
- What are the key information transfers that must happen during transfer of ownership of an app (Keys, version no. etc.)?
- If new update to an app is completely different in architecture, is there an approval process from Google Play to go through? If yes, how long does this usually take?
So to summarize, ‘V’ is the third party vendor hosting the app named ‘X’ for our client ‘C’. We (Dev company ‘D’) want to replace the current app with our implementation, but retaining the existing app name, customer base, reviews, ratings etc. such that existing users just get a notification to upgrade their existing app and it changes to the new app once they download.
Thanks!
Hi,
I can find nothing relevant on XDA about this. I suggest you contact Google...
But you could ask your question here if you wish,

Good luck!

[Completed] Android + Kiosk App

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!

[CLOSED] I'm offering $150 to anyone who can mod AirMessage to run on KitKat

I'm offering $150 to anyone who can modify the app AirMessage to work on Android KitKat.
The app allows users to send/receive iMessage texts on Android and is open source:
• https://github.com/airmessage/airmessage-android (preferred start point)
• https://f-droid.org/packages/me.tagavari.airmessage/ (excludes Google sign-in feature)
Long story but I'm trying to get it working on an LG Wine Smart H486 flip phone from 2015 for a special project. The phone cannot be rooted (I've tried for weeks using every available method). But also I'd prefer not to root really, as by upgrading to a non-standard firmware I'd lose bespoke flip features like flip open/close sounds and many more. So the solution I'd like is to get the app to run on KitKat instead.
It's important that notifications work when the port is done.
User @SoundDrill has tried and received this error, but thinks it possible others may have more luck:
In order to use core library desugaring, please enable multidex.
Regarding payment, we could do it via eBay if you set up a simple listing for "App conversion service". I have been a member there for 22 years and have 100% positive feedback: https://www.ebay.com/usr/tranquilbluetrading I'm open to other safe methods that protect us both.
Many thanks in advance!
@CJSnet Thread closed as you created a subject matter related one already two days ago:
Anyone able to mod this app to run on KitKat?
Basically I want to modify the APK to AirMessage (an iMessage client for Android) so it works on Android version 4+ instead of 6+. I'm reverting to a basic Android LG Wine Smart H486 flip phone (beautiful thing) for a video on my retro tech...
