I'm looking to create my own app using App Inventor. Its best described as a location finder that stores use to help someone find their nearest store.
I'm new to the development side so I'm looking for source code to an existing app so I can compare and sorta base off of. Something to give me a little direction.
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

I want to check if a specific app has some open source codes. Is there a tool for that?
You could ask the dev or look at the description posted with it. Another option is to just Google something and see what comes up.
As far as I know, you can't just see it without researching it.
The best you can do is to google or search the GitHub for the app package name.
Searching for package name is more reliable than app name as package name is part of the source code (present in Manifest.xml etc.) but the name visible in Play Store can be changed without touching sources.
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.
I'm studying for software engineering, and I wish to take on a small project involving making an android app.
The app is expected to involve GPS/google maps, the camera and requires object recognition.
Before starting to actually develop the app, I wish to make a proper sketch for how I'm going to do it. I was wondering if the following already exist as freeware and are possible:
GPS- does it return a X/Y coordinates only, or X/Y/Z (meaning, does it tell the phone how high it is above sea level?)
Google maps/Google earth- is it possible to get the app to take information such as a city layout from it? Also, does it include height information for the ground?
Camera and object recognition- the app is expected to "look" using the camera, and needs to recognize objects. The level of object details is not very important, but it should be able to recognize certain things such as roads, buildings, men and such.
Thanks for the assistance,
Raledon

I know about an android open source app called GPS share, which will give us a link of our current location, and allow to send that location as a SMS or any message(WhatsApp,BBM,etc).
If you want i could give you the link to the app page(if i can find it).

After talking with a few people, I've come to realize how much of a problem object recognition is for computers, and that even simple tasks like recognizing roads, people and buildings can be a problem. Until I can solve this issue in a decent fashion, I'll have to put the project on hold.
Thanks for the help, though. I'll look the app up if/when I can continue the project.
Hello,
I need a parental control app like '1Mole' from 'bosspy'. This specific app got all features I am looking for except one thing: it sends and stores all information from the smartphone on their website at bosspy.
Now, is it possible somehow to use such a service, but sending the gathered information of the smartphone to my own server?
How can I solve this?
This is my first post. Hope I'm not wrong here.
Thanks.
I don't know your app, but I think it'd be more easy and quicker if you tell the original developer your idea. I think they could implement it fast.
Hello everyone,
I just joined and I am not sure if this is the correct section to ask this. If its not I really apologize
I created a Google App Script that generates a form with check boxes and text-boxes for our monthly equipment checks. A technician would walk around and check off any damaged equipment that we have. This data is recorded in a Google drive spreadsheet which then generates a report.
I would like to create an App which basically does the same thing. But I am not sure where to start. I tried researching the Google APIs but it is way beyond me.
My question is has anyone attempted or done something similar in the past and if so how easy is it to manage? I would host a simple database on our network for this but there is no way that our systems department would grant us the permissions.
Also are there (free) different or easier alternatives out there. My data would be True or False or Yes or No answers also text-boxes would store around 50-100 characters a very basic description of the problem.
I would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
You should probably have a look at the GData api for java its simple fast and free
I am currently working on a project using this
I will be right here for any assistance
