Allows you to follow smartphone news. As well as searches the web for news based on any keywords of your choice and pushes news to you as it comes out.
You can also add URL's from any site for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?forumids=260 would subscribe you to pushed updates from this forum.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?forumids=260

Thanks much
I have it installed. I cannot add anything to the feeds like blogs or anything like that. It is very nice to look at but it is not finger friendly. Could you please tell me how to add blogs and or rss feeds or is that the part that isn't live. Is there anything specific that you want feedback on?
Thanks

Just purchased the domain, I have a host.
just got my confirmation from google, app inventor is up and running! i think it would be a good idea to maybe get a thread goin for everything app inventor/a help page for using it. just a thought
Dear Google,
GIVE ME MY CONFIRMATION EMAIL!!!
I'll give you a cookie.

I go one, I tried it, turns out I still fail :')
I got mine a couple of weeks ago. It will definitely take some learning on my part. Fun though. It would be nice to have a thread for tips and tricks. I wrote a little about it on my blog, link below in my signature.
I signed up for it a couple weeks ago. Do I have to be a registered developer in order to receive the invitation?
Got my invite too.
I didn't get my invite but I am able to get in and create projects.

Wrong... but nice try.
I simply was logged into my Google account and went to the app inventor page there was a my projects link on the top. I clicked it, I was able to access app inventor. As a word of caution make sure you have the app inventor extras installed prior to trying to use the blocks, it can / will be kind of screwy if you don't.
Now we'll need a new section on XDA..

lolz. has anyone actually successfully made an app using this?
Made the tutorial hellopurr app in about 5 minutes...the install was about 4mb though
I'm able to log in with out an invite too. Cool!
I've made some little things with it.
I need it to be able to parse RSS, or at least XML, before I'm able to implement any of my actual wanted-app ideas with it, though.
Hi All,
We just enabled another batch of accounts for access to App Inventor.

I don't know, I think it does have SOME potential. Believe it or not, there are people like me out there with VERY limited java experience that have some neat app ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the inventor.
I do agree that everybody and their mother will probably be making the stupid "click the cat to hear a purr" app knockoff .
There should be a marketplace filter for app inventor apps so you know what you're signing up for haha

So what I just read: Google can't send emails.

Hi!
A friend of mine lent me X10 so I can experience (huh) all the beauty of Android. To make it short I was actually disappointed to find, that al least on X10 you have to be connected to the internet and create an account to use a simple calendar. I have never found anything like this on other phones. Also applications can only be installed on-line, no downloading for later installation :-/
So I'd like to ask if there are any other surprises like these of which I should be aware of in case I decide to switch to Android.
Thanks
I can use my calendar without internet connection.
And ''off-line downloading''? i really do not understand.
If you want to download something you have to be online.
@berbecverde : i think he meant offline installation...!!
That's exactly what I meant

You're going to find plenty I guess as you know clearly know very little about it, so instead of posting your false assumptions here, do some reading first.
Some sites offer apps that can be downloaded to the PC/smartphone and then you can transfer and install/just install them.
Give him a break! In time he will learn how great Android is. He just opend his mouth too soon...
well cut him some slack... he's new to Android....!!
let him us the device for a few days... he might like it as well...!!
To OP:
I see from the bottom of your post you are/were using WinMo 6.1. Unlike WinMo 6.1 Android does not have offline syncing of your data, in that way they are the same as the IPhone. I think everyone is moving in this direction including Windows Phone 7 so you better get use to it .
Sorry if you felt I was harsh, but still recommend you do some reading.
They say two things in life are certain: Death and Taxes.
On this forum two things are certain. Users will ask questions without reading the forums, and XperiaX10iUser will point out that you should read the forums before asking questions.

Yep, and if I was mod I'd happily enforce the rules that state that's what you should actually do in the first place. You can count on one hand the amount of threads I've started to ask questions.
+1 on that xperiax10user... Too much crap on here now to find the useful stuff.. it's a right royal pain in the ass..
But back to the OP's question.. Android is going to be different to anything you've used before.. somethings will be better, something will be worse (but mostly you'll find an app that does exactly what you want.. so there really won't be many of these!).
Android operates through google.. in a similar way to the way iphone needs an itunes account.

Except there are a few offline syncing programs out there - missing sync is one, and it's not bad.

Well i have no data plan yet xD and it was so confusing, annoyinng,etc to found out that all my prepaid credit were spent cause of the phone, took me 1 month to find it out and fic it
Does the Google Market allow you to download apps but not install them with any other Android phone?
The Apple AppStore doesnt let you do this unless you buy/download stuff through itunes on your computer first?
What a stupid question...
People who has downloaded the app used it have given good rating and feedback. But still downloads are not at all increasing.
All my request to app info sites for review has not been replied or they will ask for money
Looks like there is no scope for good developers with no budget

That's not true: if the app is worth it will be reviewed by some important site such as xda portal (for free) and will start getting a good amount of downloads. Of course you need to keep on promoting on the forums etc.
By the way, what's your application?

I can't find it. Maybe there is a problem with the distribution settings in the developer console?

I've had more success sharing my app on Reddit and tweaking the keywords in the description than with review sites myself.
I have also added a review prompt in the latest version which seems to be helping so far, fingers crossed.

Google Play has some free channel to help developers promote their apps, but that requires some downloads in some days or something like that.
So, you can try make cooperation with someone, and recommand your app via partner channel.
then you may have the chance of listing in Top New Free to Google Play. :laugh:

I think here XDA forum is also a place for hunting partners :lol
Getting some websites to review your app sure can be challenging. Those websites get hundreds of emails a day and it is hard to scan through all of them, but some of them might pick you up on the offer.
I personally posted on Reddit and it didn't get much attention...I might need to try it again, but maybe people didn't like the app...

Sorry, what do you mean with "some downloads"? 10k? 100k? Thank you..
I believe that the best always rises to the top.You do not even need to market your app.It only takes a man to download your app and get the ball rolling.If your blog is interesting and useful,you don’t need to do much else.Example of this is the popularity of Instagram.

This only works for some very special cases; for the others, a bit of "push" is necessary.
To my mind, the quality of the app does evrything by itself.
We had the same problem after we have launched (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-weather/id601784766).
We found out that the best way is to approach our users who were engaged with the app.
We thought of a compelling way to ask them to rate us at the store /share the app with a friend/ tweet etc and it worked beyond our expectations...
Bottom line - when you ask someone who likes you nicely at the right time you are much more likely get respond.
We have since decided to develop it to a product which other developers can use - www.kudos-kit.com
Right now Reddit is a good way to promote your app, but best way is here in XDA.
Also, post it on forums allways can help a lot, since most of review sites are not free....
