API to URLy the URL shortener

Hello
I just released v0.9.2 of URLy and it now comes with a simple API that can be used by other app developers to shorten a long URL via URLy.
So, if you are a developer and want to shorten a URL in your own app, but don’t want to go through all the hassle of writing the necessary code yourself, you can just pass the URL to URLy via an intent. URLy will shorten it with the service that you passed along and your app will receive a boolean to indicate whether the shortening process was successful or not, the short URL and, if any errors occurred, a detailed error message about what went wrong.
Why would anyone integrate URLy in his own app? Well, there are several situations in which this makes sense. For example, imagine you write a Twitter app and want to allow your users to shorten URLs. You could write the code to shorten the URL by yourself, or you could just pass the long URL to URLy. You can pass along the service you want to use (you can use about 20 services via URLy, like bit.ly, goo.gl or TinyURL), so you could even give your users the choice to use any service they prefer or provide a custom URL and / or user credentials so that they can keep track of their shortened URLs. And: The integration into your app is pretty much seamless. After calling the intent, a nice and small progress window is shown which disappears automatically after shortening. So, no annoying new window that the users will have to close – they never leave your app.
Take the following screenshot as example. The app in the background is supposed to be your app, the progress window is what URLy shows while shortening:
(sorry, I'm not allowed to post any images, yet, will update as soon as I can)
More information and a detailed code example of how to start the intent and receive the shortened URL are available on my blog in the API section. It's really simple and integrated in a few minutes.
General information about URLy is available in this forum or on my blog. Unfortunately, I still can't post any outside links, so please write me a personal message and I send you the links.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

App Developer Bidding

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.

No. Not until google implements that feature.

Fragment Tab-Pager

I am having trouble implementing the Pager and TabsPager from the examples into my apps. Has anyone successfully (besides the Google Devs) implemented these into their apps? I'm also wanting to know how to make fragments (necessary for the ViewPager). Every attempt I've done ends in force closes. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Android: Unlock application's additional features with Facebook share or tweet

I have a free application published on Google Play. I want to add some new features and ask users to 'pay' for them with Facebook shares or tweets.
Scenario:
1. User updates application
2. New features are available in settings but they are not active
3. To activate feature user has to share information about my application on FB or on Tweeter
4. Only if sharing was successful feature will be available to the user.
For me it seems like a good idea to spread information about application in social media... however I can't find any 'out of the box' solution (library or code). Is there any?
Has anybody tried this approach and was it successful?
Also I'm trying to find out if this method is compliant with Google Play policy. I've read play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html with great care but I didn't find any clues. Has anyone got any policy violations emails from Google after implementing this method?
Maybe you can find something in the Facebook API.

What do you use to code? There's tons of assets for Unity that'd do what you're trying to do.

I'm not using Unity but develop my app in 'pure' Android SDK.
Just found this library: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/457153/How-to-integrate-Facebook-Twitter-Linkedin-in-Andr
It looks promising so I'll give it a try.
You mean reward users for posting on Facebook or any social share, sure I dont think its that hard,
just everytime a user presses on the Share button add some coins to him ingame, you can also make
alot of money if you reward useres for watching a video ad in your game like a Vungle ad.
