I am working on a concept home-replacement app. and would like some help with coding if possible. I am new to development of android apps. and having trouble understanding it. But would love to have some help with this. I have made some concept images on what I am working on. Any help is good help.
Target platform is 2.x+
Here is a link to check it out

First I would like some help working on the basic shell of the home screen.

Hey all, newbie here!
Let me just say that this is a great forum and you guys do wonders to borring phones...
I am interested in learning how to build an app for PPC. I have a program I use for work and would love to try and port it over. Can someone send me links and just basic info on how to get started?
Just a background, I am in IT and have programming so I am not a newbie to that world, just phone apps.
Thanks for any advice and keep up the awesome work. Timmay!!!
Do you have access to the source code of the program you want to port over? What is it written in?

Thanks for the reply. I dont have it but I have worked with the developers and can get it. I will find out and reply tomorrow. Thanks again.
Hi everybody,
I recently completed an extensive guide to the Xperia and Windows Mobile in general. Most of the info might be old news if you're an experienced user, but hopefully there's something in there for everyone. If nothing else, it may be convenient to have all the elemental stuff gathered in one place.
I have tried to compile the best and most common tweaks and customizations, essential software in seven different categories, the many user-interfaces and how to get them, various modifications and some of the highlights from here (XDA Classics), et cetera. I did my best to include as much as possible, and the guide will continue to grow.
Here it is if you want to have a look:
A Guide to Windows Mobile
I put a lot of effort into this and I would really appreciate some feedback, what do you think of it?
I hope you'll find the guide useful.
Thanks --Lars
I am reading it now. You have done an excellent job mate.
This could be the perfect way to beginners to tweak their X1 without doing all the testings we did, with all the hard resets and restore of our backups we did to get all this... If you keep it up to date with all the new software, this could be the ultimate guide to the X1
Great Work!!!
Kudos! Check it out: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/04/he-made-guide-for-xperiawinmo.html
WoW!
This is a great guide
Keep up the good work
Excellent job - clear and comprehensive.
Comforting to note that I have already come across many of the tips and tweaks, but there are still a few new ones, for which I'm grateful to you.
On the profiles issue, my recommendation would be Phone Weaver - it costs a bit of money, but that is money well spent if you ask me. Highly configurable, very stable, and does the job very nicely thank you very much.
I'm going to have to investigate the JBed font size tweak though - I don't have a "Device Info" folder in the registry so there is no Java Font setting to change.
Thanks great job It will be great to create a wiki ! ;D
I would like to second the well done comments posted here and I have some suggestions. The trend in WM is for big one size fits all interfaces like TF3D and Point UI etc. While such interfaces are nice to look at they dont offer much opporutunity for user customisation, you can change a background and thats bout it.
I am a fan of the Previous system used on the today screen where users select plug-ins and configure them to there own tastes. The two I use most are HomeScreen ++ Floyd theme and TodayGif, all of which had there roots on this site.
How about a list of open source freeware Today Screen Plug-ins that users can customise and change, for users like myself who resent being put in a software straight jacket like TF3D. Other manufacturers like Samsung and Nokia and iphone, are going down the plug-in or widget route, increasing user customisation, while WM seems to be moving in the opposite direction, away from the more flexible, more customisable previous plug-in system.
Thats my 2P, once again good job.
i like the site, very useful!
A big THANK YOU for your work!
I just hoped to find such a great summary of profound knowledge here in the Wiki for the X1.
Once more: Great work! Keep it up!
I’m very glad for all the positive feedback, thank you!
I will make a news box at the top of the page with recent updates and additions, since my ambition is to add all things of interest that I come across to the guide.
msalmank: I appreciate the blog post, cheers
Mr Anderson: I installed the trial version of Phone Weaver, seems like a really good utility for profiles (if not the best of the bunch) - I’ll add it to the guide.
Mark A Cilenti: I intentionally left out the minor Today Plug-ins because I thought they would be of less interest, but I agree: there should be such a section as well.
remixtech: Even though you had a little wink smiley after your wiki suggestion, I took it as a dare and I will make a wiki version of the guide as well that anyone can contribute to (even though chance is no one will write in it)
Thanks again, folks. I'm off to bed
wow this is awesome!
Brilliant! Thank you for your hard work, i've found it very useful.
Altough I am already aware of most of the tips and tweaks listed on your guide I must tell you that it is definitely the best compendium on the X1.
Hats off to you!
Thank you very much for all your hard work.
excellent site.. great work..
I thank deeply from my side.
Definitely comprehensive and sufficient source of almost all needed WM/X1 info!
Any example on your WinMo Xperia Guide about Bottom menu of HelloWorldPanel example
Hi
I tried modifying the HelloWorldPanel example that comes with the SDK.
I still have trouble trying to show the custom bottom menus of the Xperia screen.
Could someone share the code snippets on how to get this to work ?
I like to have 2 menu on the left and on the right, and one menu has items to pick from the list when clicked.
Many thanks!n
Thx.. a very nice site with nice info ^.^
Thanks for all the responses! Great feedback.
Hi all,
I'd like to write some apps for mobile but I don't know how to have a "cool" (you know what i mean, iPhone like) interface instead of the flat one offered by .NETCF controls.
Please, help me or give me suggestions about where to find nice controls such as buttons (like the one used in phone dialers etc), scrollers, and so on.
Thanks,
Sergio
so are you asking for help with graphics and layouts? send me a pm. id love to work on some UI stuff.
heres several to choose from.
Free:
Manila Interface SDK:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566188
Silvermoon: http://silvermoon.codeplex.com/
Fluid: http://fluid.codeplex.com/
Commercial:
RescoeMobileforms toolkit: http://www.resco.net/developer/mobileformstoolkit/overview.aspx
Mirabyte Touchcontrols: http://www.mirabyte.com/en/products/windows-mobile/touch-controls-suite-for-netcf/information.html
Hi all and thanks a lot.
@Ren13B : I have just downloaded fluid, but i have serious problem on creating controls at runtime (no designer or my mistake) so if you have experience i'd like to see some rough/basic example code for vb.net
@S.V.I : I'm at office, when I return home I'll send you a P.M., thanks and see you soon!
I could help you with some graphics as well .
If you want, PM me.
I took a peak at the fluid demo application but never really tried using the controls in any of my projects. I think the developer has stopped working on it and is concentrating on silvermoon now. There's a forum section there so you may want to add a post there to see if anyone can help you.
Im waiting and hoping one of these days Microsoft will bless us with some finger friendly mobile controls. Perhaps the next .net compact framework will provide this but they arent releasing any information about it so who knows what it will provide.

Here are a few I came across : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/07/07/how-to-make-professional-looking-user-interface-for-your-next-windows-mobile-app-with-ease.html
@ netking80 : what app are u developing ?
Hi Everyone,
Im new so go easy lol
Im wanting your help with regards to my thesis im doing at University. Im conducting an experiment with regards to people interacting with my andriod application. Its going to be the most simplistic application and probably only needs 1 button ie 'enter' and Im wanting to find out if there are any ready made andriod apps out there, fully sourced etc for editing and publishing... Or starter kits that input the code for you. I have no software dev experience and could use some help, as I say im just looking for a smal app with just one button that says "enter" really, but allows me to put a logo on... quite basic
If anyone can help with this, that would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to XDA
In the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) There are usually about 5-10 example apps for each version of Android (such as Android 2.2 or Android 3.0)
They are very simple, such as a notepad app, or a business card manager. And they are great ways to learn if you dissect them and poke around.
Have a look here to get started:
http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html
Good luck!
Thanks very much, thats really much appreciated
If your app is indeed that simple, private message me if you need something coded.

That great, thanks very much. I have just sent a quick message.
I am interested in creating and android based app where short posts like twitter can be shared with a group of people who has that app. So for example if 10 people have this app and one of them decided to create a post and share it then all the other 9 people should be able to see it in there feed. I am new to app development and was hoping I can get some kind of guidance from here as to where to start. I am not sure what kind of platform or technology is used in facebook and twitter for this specific purpose but I would like a similar setup. I really appreciate any help or guidance to help me get started and thanks in advance.
Google Cloud Messaging might be helpful in that case: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html
I'd, however, suggest to create some easier apps first, just for learning. Keep in mind, a twitter clone is a big and difficult project.
Smaller project
I would like to start from a smaller project but not sure about this area at all. I was thinking to just create a small app first where I create a post and it appears on the other end. Any ideas as how to go about it? thank you for your help.

I don't know how to do that as I've never really been interested in networking. I'd suggest to do something without networking as your first application to get used to Android's UI elements and to Android code in general.
As soon as you understood that you can do as much networking as you want but I would start with something that is easier. (A calculator is a typical beginner project. )

i ll give the example of Facebook
there
newsfeeds run on Hadoop
messages are on nosql not sure about this
all the searches you perform on the new graph interface (exculding those on messages) are through FQL
its a language of their own Facebook Query Language
Python is the backbone of it all, chief scripting language on thier server
of course the webinterface you see is php and javascript
........ this much only i know
but there are a few more
as u can see there's more to it than it seems to be so starting with such a thing won't be a wise decision !
"no hill too high to climb" - proceed this project if you really want to !
