Hello, I'm looking for a simple To Do List type app that you can list tasks/reminders and cross them off or delete them when completed.
I've managed to find a lot of to do list apps in the marketplace but I have yet to find one that lets me rearrange tasks in the list, they all only allow me to sort by name, creation date, etc. while I want to arrange them how I want.
Another plus would be able to have subtasks. If anyone know of an app like this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Is there a website where you post what you want and developers bid to do the work? I've used similar services before for html / php / java and was wondering if it was available for android apps???
sites like guru.com and rentacoder.com you may be able to find people.
Do you mind explaining the project"s" your looking at having done. Might find some people here who will be able to help and assist
I thought i saw something similar on www.anddev.org

Here is my thought (remember, I'm not a developer):
A super basic app: a single icon (like wifi tether) that opens a predefined url that has users info appended to the end as arguments, see example below:
Code:
mydomain,com/page.php?name=mike&id=1234&color=blue
Users info are just text fields with no validation and are setup from the menu button.
This would be a customizable app. A person could modify the app by adding (changing) three files
icon image
url.xml - contains the base url and perhaps the app name
user.xml - contains the users data fields
above example users.xml would add 3 setup fields for name, id, color
by changing the url xml file, you could setup app to piont to any domain
by changing the users.xml, you could setup any number of arguments
by changing icon, app image would match users preference
Ideally it would be best if it could have multiple occurances of the app (maybe just app name being different would work) because I may want it for mydomain.com any you may want to use it for yourdomain.com
Hope this makes sense.
Hi everyone,
I'm searching for an efficient, fast, and well designed google reader application but have not come across one that is really good.
What I'm looking for area these:
- the first level should show the folders, such as Android folder, economy folder, technology folder, etc.
- When I click on the folder, I do not wish to see the feeds such as CNN, engadget, but to the items list. I want the option to say how many items I want to show, and whether to show only new (unread) or all item.
- I want to be able to mark the items as starred item with merel one swipe, or to unmarked it.
- I want a to with one button indicate all e item on the screen as read, and fetch the nest batch of unread items. I want another button to mark all items in that folder as read although they have not been listed on the screen yet.
- when I click on the item, I want to read part of the news. Then I want to be able to swipe to the next item or go to previous item. I also want to be able to share that item to facebook, to mail to friend, etc. And I want to be able to bring up my default web brewer to go the the original web page.
More importantly, I want all these operations to be instant, without lag.
For those of you coming from iPhone background, you will recognize this as the RSS g Flash application.
I love that design very much and hope to get something like this from the market place, or as close as possible.
Could anyone help? TIA.
I use Feedr its simple yet powerful can sync folders structure. Try it
Try Newsrob.
You want NewsRoom. I found it does everything I wanted from an rss reader... it's now on my first homepage.
Thanks guys. Keep the suggestions coming. I'll try everyone before deciding which one will stay on my desktop.
Cheers.

I've tried a lot of the client apps but they all take too long to sync (and I don't like things like that happening in the background).
I've yet to find anything as good all-round as the mobile webclient from the browser.
Is there a trial version of feedr? I would like to try first before I buy.
I love the interface and response time of newsroom. It's just a pity that I can't view it by the google reader folders. I would also love to be able to see the item list first before going down to the article itself. On my iphone and iPad, I usually skim through a couple of thousand articles each day, some are repeats, or articles that don't interest me. I've also no time to read all of them. So the item list view is useful.
The news-rob is so slow I don't think it's useable for me. Too much waiting at the black screen and syncing takes too long to complete.
I've also tried out gReader which is also incredibly slow.
News reader, together with browser, music players, picture viewers, and YouTube, are among the extremely high usage application, and I don't mind paying good money of it if it is really good. But I must be assured that it meets my expectation first.
Any other recommendation?
Here is a list of the new stock application/settings GUIDS that I have found so far:

I am sure there are more and there are ones with sub pages as well. I can't verify the sub pages until I find a way to launch an application from within a native app. If someone provides me a new way to execute native apps I will update My Supreme Shortcuts app for WP8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343993 .

You can launch apps by GUID with NFC tags. You can optionally supply parameters. Maybe there's some parameter that let's you specify a sub page.
Search for Mifare on Amazon. I grabbed a few of the 1k tags. Install an app called NFC Interactor to write them. I just tested with the Wallet app. When I tap the tag (after writing it), it says "Someone wants to use wallet with you. [Open App] [Ignore]". When I hit [Open App], it prompts me for my pin. Let me know if there are any other interesting ones worth trying (i.e., ones not available from the start menu) and I'll give it a shot.

Same here, wrote a few with these GUIDs and it was awesome.
How are you locating these GUIDs? I'm curious, since having a complete list would make NFC tag writing awesome. For example, having a tag launch internet sharing would be the most useful for me, while others would likely benefit from a music app, etc.

jaxbot has an app called Folders. If you run the desktop version, you can look up apps in the Marketplace by name. Search results yield not only icons, but GUIDS as well.
I'm trying to build an app for a school project that will locate items in a grocery store. For example, if I type in "orange juice" into the app, it will create a marker on a floorplan of the store. In this way I want to be able to populate a map with markers that correspond to items in a grocery list. Users can then walk around the store and swipe off markers as they pick up the items.
Does anyone know how I could do this? Are there any open source Android apps currently out there I could look at?
I feel like this would be a fairly simple project involving just uploading a .jpeg into an app and assigning coordinates to classes of items, like "juice" to {20,30} or something like that, but I have very little programming experience and am lost as to how to start.

Well, people normally do not get an answer if they ask how to do the whole app.
So try to find the solution yourself and ask the community if you've got more specific questions/problems.

Yeah I realize that I'm not going to get a step by step process... but I was just asking for general advice. Somebody suggested I use a .shp file and use an overlay with all the markers corresponding to the items, then create a pop up marker event for every time the user selects an item, which was helpful.
I'm looking for general ideas on implementation, that's all.

You could save the name and the coordinates to files using JSON which can easily be written manually.
Have a look at Google's gson library.
So I have found myself adding a lot of stuff to the included scrapbook app, seems like it could be very useful. My issue is, when viewing the things I have added, I want to be able to arrange them in a different order, and there seems to be no way to do this? You can add categories, and move things into different categories, but not the order of things within one category. Anybody have any ideas?
