I'd like some guidance on ways to verify cab or exe files posted here and elsewhere for security purposes. Are they somehow verified by senior members here to ensure they are not malicious?
For example, the Facebook app being developed here obviously requires a username and password. So what is to stop the developer from redirecting that secure information elsewhere to be used for, say, distributing that Facebook virus or other mischief?
The question doesn't just apply to that one app so I'm not singling cornelha out. What is to stop someone from distributing a cab that provides some necessary or useful function, but also has a small hidden exe buried inside it that can intercept text messages or e-mails or record keystrokes in a browser? Does Windows Mobile itself guard against such behavior?
I'm not asking about viruses...I know the virus threat on Windows Mobile is nil. And I know each device owner has to exercise caution when installing anything and should only use trusted sources. I'm just wondering if there is any security beyond that? Thanks.
Any developer that follows up on his app is unlikely to be a fraudster. Having been a member for a while I can now recognise peoples names and I can see that there is a lot of trust in each other, that is what makes this a great and strong community.
Hi! I have two database files I need to make and add to the .apk for quick access. The data will be completely static--I will only read from the database. How would I make this database on my PC, then read from it at runtime?
The SQLite database on Android will be created when you first want to access it. This means you can't simply add the databases to the apk. You should make a web service which helps your app insert the data to the newly created database, or you can hard-code it.
After a little more searching, I found a way! http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/
I'll give it a shot later today; it seems like it'll work.

Hello to all.
I have been developing for windows for a long time but now i want to start at android too but need urgent an apk tool to export records from a database.
This is my cenario:
I have pink messenger installed in a phone that i use to track my childs chats.
Pink messenger has a database named threads_db with a table named nessages that holds the chats.
Every 10 seconds that table is updated from what it finds online at facebook server so even if i go offline i can still see chat history. The only bad think is that if my kid delete a thread from facebook pink messenger auto delete the thread from database also so i am loosing the history.
What i need is a simple tool to keep checking the table for new records and when a new one is found to be added to another database that has the exact same structure with the original. That way tool will add records to the second one that will never loose when deleted from first one.
It would be easy i think for this operation to be performed as the table has a unique key that names msg_id so a select statement can take place and update the second database only with new records.
I am willing to pay something for that tool also.
Thank you.

Have you rooted your device ?
If yes than use titanium backup and schedule automatic backup so that it will take automatically backup and if you lose your data than restore it...
So, this might seem like a very noobish qustion, but it's actually something that's been playing on my mind for a while... Like, since 2010...
I've been using what many of you will probably consider a stone-age way of managing my contacts ever since I got my fist android device, the mighty BLADE!!!
I'm not a fan of "helper apps", like Kies, or iTunes - Nor do I like being tied to a particular piece of software, that might not be present on a public computer if I need to access one in an emergency, or someone else's machine if I'm not at home, etc..
(Hell, I don't even like playlists; All my thousand plus MP3s are kept in a single folder, organised by artist & title in the filename itself, so that any media player I use always organises them properly, without having to maintain separate playlist files....)
So anyway, all this time, my way of maintaining my contacts has been to keep a copy of my contacts list in .CSV format on my SD Card.
When I add a new contact, I simply add a new line to the .CSV, enter the details between the correct commas, upload it to my gmail account & update my contacts there. Finally, I sync my phone's contacts to google to get the new contact on my phone.
This lets me edit my contacts in Notepad (no helper app, it's basically a text file just with a .CSV extension), and gives me a cloud-based backup in case of phone loss...
However, the act of updating the .CSV, upping it to google, and then syncing is quite cumbersome...
So I figured I'd ask if I'm the only one quite so OCD about how they manage their contacts off the device itself, and if so, if there's a more elegant way to do it, while keeping the need of 3rd party software to a minimum?
Something akin to a small standalone contacts manager for windows, that lets me edit my contacts on my PC, save them as a file that can be edited without any special software, and then push them to my device?
(but one that's not bloated and doesn't have a bunch of unnecessary "features", like file/media transfer, music player, etc...)
Hell, typing this out loud, I'm tempted to dust off my old copy of VB 6 & write a single-form, non-install windows program to simplify editing a .CSV file, to break it down into the fields and output to .CSV... The part where it bypasses uploading to google & pushes right to my phone would probably stump me though...
Or maybe there's a better method I've not thought of yet?
Anyway, sorry for the long-ish post! Thanks
I just use the contacts app's import/export feature.
But I don't think windows can open the file without a third-party program.
Hi, is there a way to (batch) convert all conversations on whatsapp to HTML and csv files? Most 3rd party apps online seems to use some way to install an 'old' version of whatsapp to do this and that gets me banned temporarily from Whatsapp.
I basically want to uninstall Whatsapp and not use it anymore. But I have years of important conversations (many of which I may need to refer to for work etc), and I want to keep them all on my computer in a searchable format. HTML is optimum as it would presumably preserve the look and feel of the chats. CSV could also be good in terms of efficiency of searching.
Thanks!
I am having the same issue and it drives me insane! Ideally, I would like my messages and my attachments to be accessible in a convenient format for the future.
All I found is backuptrans, but I haven't tried it. People (on here) say it is legit in terms of "getting the job done" but I am generally suspicious of companies that hide their whois record behind a shell corporation and don't provide business contact details.
Cheers, JD
