I currently have a conceptualized android application and am now accepting requests from developers. I cannot discuss to much about the app but it does do some pretty revolutionary things and utilizes parts of the phone that other apps haven't.
What we are looking for:
Someone who is willing to see the project through, and someone who is willing to do this project in a timely concise manner.
Someone who like a challenge.
Someone who is willing to do this for free to gain experience or broaden their portfolio.
If you are interested in learning more about this app or want to start building it please email me
Do you have any technical background at all?
Also, there's a very high chance it has been done already.
so this guy doesn't get smashed with the spam comments? go figure.

I am currently in the R of R&D for a new type of rpg card game I need a programmer to programme the apk as all the info needed will be supplied during the programming stage.
I am new to developing android games.
When the android market opens to canadian sellers I am offering up a permanent cut of the sales to whomever is chosen for the programming as updates will need to be made over time (aside from bug fixes).
anyone interested email me at: [email protected]
Go start reading the Android documentation and learn to do it yourself. Ideas are worth nothing in the game programming world. You can't ask someone to do all the work, and then give you most of the money.

Ditto, if I were experienced enough to do a RPG, then I might be willing to help you. But you can bet that whoever would make it would put it on THEIR dev account & keep the profits to themselves, they did the work anyway.
Just sayin.
man, this thread is brilliant. hey guys ive got a game idea too, i need a dev too to all the coding and programming for me and in return i'll give you a cut. Just do the coding, developing, graphics and leave the rest to me.
I guess I wasn't clear with the request. Not all the programming is to be done by someone else and is not an Action RPG, Its a cardgame related to the CARD RPG genre, the difficulty is my programming is out of date and I am looking more for a mentor to watch over me and someone who is more familiar with the apk architecture. I could have easily taken a Poker game and shredded it for code and exceptions but that is a little more complicated. But I guess its easier to beat a person down verbally then inquire with decency.
Really
I've stop doing these kind of trade out because the person who owns the account will never show you the actual numbers.
There must be a way to work together on app development, even if only one of them has access to the market account. For instance, you could add a certificate mechanism in the program that adds the other party into the application activation process?
Anyway, if you're willing to pay the dev his/her commercial hourly rate I'm sure you can work out a deal.
Such an odd thread - I wonder how many developers working for the big games houses expect to own all the code they are paid to write. Oh, wait... Yeah, fundamental flaw in certain replies here I guess?

I get paid a salary for the code I write for my employer. The OP isn't offering a salary.
Just because he/she lacks the resources to provide a salary (or fixed rate) doesn't really open the doors for such mocking replies though. After all, there are many good/great ideas from people who lack the ability to produce them, the same as there are many great developers who lack the ideas for something to write.
At the end of the day, every project has to start somewhere and this could be with funding in place, developing and idea to obtain funding, or starting something as a team of individuals who agree how to split revenue from a final product.
For example, the comment that 'ideas are worth nothing' implies that every great gaming idea came from a developer. If that were the case, game design positions wouldn't exist.
I have an idea for an application that I (and a few other android friends) believe would be rather popular in the market. Unfortunately, I have no dev skills or even knowledge besides basic introductory in programming. I'm looking to speak with someone who has development skills and might want to help me make an app and also share in the profits (if we made it a paid app). If anyone is interested could you please PM me?
Thanks!
I'm an IT consultant so I'm not a dummie, but I'm not exactly a programmer either.
We need to create an inventory/audit app for an Android tablet. I looked at the Eclipse documentation and I don't think I want to take the time to learn Java well for just this one app. Which leaves me with these options.
Has anybody used Mobiforms to create apps, and would a smart but untrained newbie be able to develop something reasonably quickly? They don't offer a trial version which I find more than annoying.
Should I just outsource the project to somebody in Bangladesh? I have some experience outsourcing.
Any other recommendations on getting an app created relatively quickly?
Thanks!
Or Google App Inventor...
No offense, but the outsource to Bangladesh comment isn't going to win you a lot of friends that aren't in Bangladesh.
I'd say try app inventor and see what you can learn, you'll know in relatively short order if it will do what you need.
Otherwise maybe you're in over your head and someone should outsource you to Bangladesh. ( kidding! ). Seriously though, if you don't find what you need I would hire out at that point.
I don't know much about Mobiforms, but their website looks terrible. Not that a website is the final word on a company but it strikes me as odd at least.
Thanks.
I spent an while with App Inventor. While it is surprisingly useful it lacks one thing that I must have, that being read/write access to the file system.
Today I just discovered Basic4Android and WOW! I haven't coded in basic in many years, but it's still easier to re-learn that than to learn Java from scratch. I'm sure none of the developers here have any interest in it, but for the occasional hobbiest like myself it's a lot easier to start out with. I recommend it for anybody who doesn't plan on making a career of Java programming or who already have a background in BASIC.
I reviewed Mobiforms and not only is their website aweful, but the documentation for it is aweful too. I can't recommend it for anything.
I will probably still outsource this project though.
Hi,
I am creating a core team of three for a concept for which the initial corporate funding of $350000 (not much, I agree) is committed. I (even the investor) strongly believe this concept could make a difference and is inviting two more rockstar android developers to join me..
the location of the startup will be Bangalore, India. Pls ping me on [email protected] if you are interested.. thanks
It would probably help if you said what the project even is
I agree, maybe you dont have to tell us exactly what the concept is but just what skills are required etc.
Thanks for the reply,
The broad concept I was pitching in is on the Mobile protection, but the approach to this is different from the current crop of antiviruses or Data backup solutions.. the funding entity is a leader in providing enterprise security and they will provide the expertise in that field.. The one that I am looking forward would have exceptional android app development experience/skills who could drive the on device app vision. Hope this helps..
I would offer my services up (and actually wouldn't mind working for very little or no money just to get more experience), but I am still learning. I can develop apps on the computer in Java pretty well, so I guess that helps, but I still am getting used to the different style and classes offered by the Android API/SDK. If you need a hand and seriously dont have money to waste, I can try my hand at it, but I would rather practice coding lots of smaller apps first and then maybe offer it again.
Should i PM you if I feel like I've gotten my hand wrapped around this SDK/API?
Thanks Johnson, we could explore your proposition once we have a core team in place

I have an idea for an app that would help my small business immensely. I, however, possess minimal knowledge in Android development. I've rooted, flashed custom ROMs, done a lot of intermediate stuff, but never written my own application.
I have checked out a lot of "Make your own App" websites, all of which are very clunky and not quite what I'm looking for.
So for starters, if you have a site you would recommend, please post a link. I'd like to create it myself, but really don't have time whilst running a business to learn how to code.
The alternative would be paying one of you fine developers to do it for me. We don't have a tech department, and the area I live in isn't full of technologically savvy individuals.
I checked through the forum rules, and although it prohibits the sale of personal products, I couldnt find anywhere it prohibited offering a job. Moderators, if this isnt allowed, I'd be happy to take it down.
I'd be willing to donate many beers to someone that feels confident they could help me out. If so, PM me and I'll give you more details as to what the app requires and what my budget looks like.
Doesn't hurt to ask.
tell me more
