WP7/Zune Style Android Music Player (Proof of Concept) - AppInventor - Android Software Development

This is my first app showing a proof of concept WP7/Zune themed music player app for android built using AppInventor. I've heard there is a better one being made not on AppInventor (TheRedDrake), but it was just a proof of concept, and i wanted to experiment on AppInventor.
Also, can you do much more on AppInventor? Because i'm not sure if you can access files or not at the moment, and do much else - the music files are embedded in the app at the moment. Anyways, tell me what you think of the app, and if appinventor can access files or not, and if it is worth to keep trying things in appinventor. Thanks!
(App works fine on Samsung Galaxy S i9000) (Both music tracks in the app work)

Appinventor is limited because there is no Java coding support. Yes you can make a music app but that's all. No zune software compability. Yes you can try going on but I suggest going to Java development.

So there is no real way of automatically creating a list of music files from a phone and putting them into the app through app inventor?
Also what would be the best way to start going into java development? Im relatively New to it, but i do know about eclipse and such, just not java or actual coding and development. Thanks.

P.s. has anyone tried the app yet?
Also im thinking of maybe adding internet radio functionality to it (to see just if it would work), and with album art etc, if AppInventor would permit it...

The link doesn't work
Xda app

download link fixed

Tried your app and again I got assured of the limitations of appinventor. Go to the official android developer page. Everything you need is there. There is another dev wanting to develop a zune player contact him and work together, he has a post on my thread. If you both agree you can take part in my project.

Work in progress. Video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0MqPMMBUqQ
The application mockup is done in JavaME. The UI engine powering all the animation is from UK's Tricastmedia - TWUIK
Not enough? Lots' more videos showing prolished GUI created with TWUIK here -> TWUIK UI midlet demos. See Nokia Widsets and Yahoo! GO UI mockup developed using TWUIK.
Wow...that GUI looks nice. Very interesting. Does anyone think something similair can be created for the java machine on our PPCs?
where do u download it
that looks pretty cool... as ive read you not going to be publishing this? am i correct? would really like to try it out on my TyTN
If they're not gonna release that, then why show it off?
On J2ME? But why? A bigger memory hog?
I dont think this can be used on a pocket pc, since it's not java oriented.
S60 will work.
J2ME to make it work with most MObile (ppc included)
hamoda-t: notice that you need a touchscreen, which not all mobiles have, in fact only few do.
I don't remember Nokia being tactile? (but I don't follow Nokia scene development).
And Windows Mobile has a built in Java virtual machine....
Hi,
Tricastmedia has WM5/6 compatibility for TWUIK, so... It can run without problems since TWUIK is cross platform, using Java or native PPC code or any other supported platform. Read @ Tricastmedia page.

Taguapire.

I found this while faffing around finding tools for themes...

download droid explorer from http://de.codeplex.com/ it gives full root access to your streak like using root explorer. Seems to only be for windows 32 & 64bit but they may have other versions. It also has options to reboot, flash recovery, backup, install (with icons etc..), desktop sms, logcat console, screencast (live screenshot view, im watching myself type on streak from desktop! Which has options for call, home, infact everything.... it fully emulates my streak allowing full control via desktop..very cool), has a colour coded console shell, package signer, sqlite explorer.... list is enless and i havent even looked through tools yet! Has anyone else tried using it?
I saw this on the other post and downloaded it. It rocks. The screencast isn't remarkably fast, but it is the best around.
Thanks
You do have to be rooted, but that isn't a big deal.
Nice find tina thanks will have a play with this
Yeah you need to be rooted but most of the functions are only useful for rooted phones so its fair enough, i enitially posted it in response to a thread where someone needed to flash without fastboot, he was struggling so when I stumbled on this I thought it was a perfect solution... then I realised how cool it is and started a thread to share with everyone
hmmm cud prove useful....nice..
Nice find tina!!!
Though I'd wish the guys that made the screencast app would continue working on it as I've been using the app for a while now and I've posted a few comments/issues about how the screen appears upside down and that all they need to do is allow the user to continue rotating the image around as is just visually upside down and not physically (as in the actual touch area). So for example even though the notification bar appears along the bottom of the screen, you still need to click and drag down from the top, so if the devs just allowed the user to cycle through all 4 orientations then this would be awesome. As well as making the ' and left key work.
As for the rest of the program, I love that I don't have to mount/unmount the SD card no more
Been using that with my hd2 for a while now. You can even sideload apps with it. I had to learn that when messing with my daughters captivate

Fancy a new start screen? Try this!

Lets just make this a general thread, because I've put some work in to this for a couple months and I wasn't too sure what to do with it over in /w/, but here it will get a good following and might be able to do the same at WPCentral.
Feel free to post yours, as I've not done this yet, but it's on my to-do list!
Anyways, I'll start by linking my pastebin and attaching a picture that sums everything else up.
Please note this also includes WP7 for people who might have gotten one as a hand-me-down/free phone.

Also If you have an ATIV S, ATIV S NEO, or an ATIV Odyssey, you can set your own custom accent colors by using SamWP8 Tools and flipping over to the tweak tab. (You must be InteropUnlocked for this to work!)

on my 928. The browser is fully functional and when downloading a .xap file instead of the enterprise apps error I get the trust UCBrowser in WP7 RootTools. No interop cap in the WMAppManifest (not my doing, downloaded this way)yet there is a separate InteropManifest. If only we could put to use the ComXapHandler and WP7RootToolsSDK .dll's contained in the app in the manner they were created for... Any ideas?

[Q] How to apply trasparency to status and navigation bar?

Hi guys!
We are planning to release a new application for Android; we already design the app mockup and developed a solid base (and something more).
Now we are trying to give the app an aspect like that

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is a new app from Play Store called Wally.
As you see the status bar and the navigation bar are both translucent, so that it is possible to see the app in background; I thought that this was related to the new ImmersiveMode Google introduced on Android 4.4, but looking at the examples and demos given by Google itself in developer.android.com I start to wondering where these effects really come from!
Do you guys know to achieve that? We designed the app in that way and we would be so sad to change direction now!
Tanks a lot for paying attentions, see ya!

Well that is enirely possible and as you say was introduced in KitKat you just have to draw behind the nav and status bar and use a TranslucentDecor theme.
