I want to make an app that uses the internal GPS built into most phones, but I can't find a sdk example or anything like it that uses it. I'm not really sure how phone GPSes work.
I didn't find any sdk examples, but you can learn it from books. Hello Android isn't too expensive and it's a really good for developers who are learning android programming

I've read a lot of books and have made quite a few apps, I just don't know how a phone GPS actually works. I've never seen anything in a book talk about using the internal GPS either.

Hello XDA,
I have been programming for well over six years in various languages. I am currently 17, and I want to get something done for even more experience...I have never released an application, which is why I am looking for work. I will help on any application, or I can take some application requests...
Thank you for reading!!

Hope you can make this app, connects an Android to the internet through Bluetooth.

I'm looking for a software that will take a picture with both my cameras at the same moment. I use a galaxy tab and i was quite disappointed when i noticed that it's not able to do so!
I thouhgt this would be the first idea someone would implement, i was convinced it would be in the stock samsung firmware.
So what i think of:
Preview for both cameras
possibility to take a few pics in a row
geotagging
So i can take pics of my family AND the landscape on my vacation.
Feel free to take this idea; i would be happy to find such an app!
And there's still no working flashlight (camera flash!) on the market that works for my galaxy tab.

Got any examples of your work? Do you do games? Are you looking for free work or paid work?

I'm looking for paid work, but might consider free. I don't really have any examples...but I will do games as well.

It's gotten a little.... green.
Welcome to about last week.
... and the market still sucks. No way to sort by popularity or # of downloads, search results usually yield Asian crap unrelated to your query, and its slow.
I love Android, I love tinkering with it, but they really need to fix the market. When I search for "xda developer" I shouldn't get pages upon pages of garbage in a language I can't speak. I should also be able to filter searches by free, paid, rating, downloads, etc.
</rant>
Very much a mess still... Oh well

I knew it was out but i dont have it still!
New market doesn't show my downloaded free apps! Anyone got the same problem? If so, how is it solveable? BTW, if I search for those apps, then they show as installed - but not in my apps. Go figure.

I don't like the barf green at all. Other than that it seems to work fine so far, I haven't had an stuck in authorizing/installing issues like I had before yet. But I have had it lag a bit several times.
I do wonder if this is partially my SD card failing or something.
I have to admit being an app designer myself. It looks ****ty and amateur. However the usability fells much better.
Google pretty much build solid apps but design sucks. Just imagine I'd they invested in good designers, they would kick ass.

Clear market cache and something from the settings. Restart after clearing cache.
My old market didn't show downloaded free apps any more. What I did was go to preferences - applications. Then to market and erase its data.
After starting market I had the new market! And all installed apps were visible again.
I prefer not to have an option to sort by ratings/download number. If available, people would search for something, sort the list by ratings and download the top one or the second.
Not being able to sort by ratings gives less known applications the opportunity to shine in the market.
Well i put a app on the marketplace and its been a week google accepted it but i never get to see it on the market anyone knows why??

This is not the place for this topic
Try contacting the people on the Market where you placed your app.
Good luck,

If you mean the Android Market there are a few reasons why it would not show up. I still have problems with this on few devices actually.
Possible reasons...
Screen Resolution not supported. In you android Manifest you must specify which res are supported.
Device does not support one of the required features, bluetooth, compass ect...
Device is below minimum sdk version.
Sorry im on my phone and i dint know were to post it..

Its not a matter of working, its a matter of the market filters excluding it.
If it's been out for a week, it should at least show on Appbrain or androlib. I'd start there, just to check if it's actually in the market at all.
If a search brings it up there it means you messed up with the filters. If it doesn't show up even there, it means the app is not on the market at all, and you should probably contact Google support...
Post your AndroidManifest.xml file and what phone you are using.
Hello.
i want to start a development project for bus alert.
the idea is quite simple.
any how,i need some help with coding as there are some things i don't have the experience in.
do you have some manual on how to get the device location using the GPS, how to use information from known web pages on the internet?
thank you!
I don't remember any online resources about it, but http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+get+gps+data. If you can't find anything you have to buy one of the books about Android programming (I learnt from Hello Android)

ok devs or people who know how to build apps.
i would like to become a dev by building apps but iv searched google and xda and i cant find the right answers so i wandered if anybody knows how to build an app for our x8.
if you could give me maybe a step step tutorial on how to build them? sorry if im asking to much but im keen
cheers.
That kind of thread would be pointless cuz there are many types of app eg. Pulse with a clock widget have an entirely different code. Some apps do some things, other apps do other things. It's impossible to have a general or global tutorial of how to make an app.

Well I know for one that you build clock Widgets howdya do that?

I've learnt java from tutorials on YouTube and with the right means (Eclipse, SDK and some other stuff) I was able to do it.

Oh right thanks mate. I will see if I casandra llearn more from youtube

Easy way out:
Google App Inventor
AppsGeyser
AndroMo
Conduit Mobile
wix.com ( creates mobile sites)
I know more, but can't think of them.
And I guess you probably want the coding tutorial but I don't know either so.....
Leave a thanks if I helped!
