I'm looking for something that I can copy/paste notes from a computer into a website, and then view them as flashcards on my phone.
Features I'm looking for:
* Copy/paste into website and download to view in phone
If above is not possible, a way to import a Q/A file into the phone
* Randomization of cards
* Optional view definition or term side of card
* Timed mode
* Ability to skip to next card which randomizes it back into remaining pool
* Answering a question wrong would cause you to start the entire stack over again
Is anyone aware of such an app, or something similiar?
I would be happy to pay for an app that does this - I think it would really help me study better for my classes if I could use this instead of checking Facebook in between classes.
Any suggestions?
I use gFlash+
Sounds close to what you want. You put the content into a Google Docs spreadsheet and import it into the app.

After trying out most of the note-taking applications and not finding something that suits my needs, I'm submitting my wishlist here to get the expert opinions available in this forum (this forum is a major reason I bought another HTC phone!)
Ok, I'm not after many bells and whistles, but the below are what I'd like my Note Taking app to be able to do:
Offline usage must (so current Evernote offering doesn't serve). Not everyone is online with fast enough internet access, all the time.
Save notes (not just backup) to a SDCard folder - so that I can sync that folder myself to my desktop PC if the app doesn't have that, using wifi+ftp.
Save notes in a Desktop editable format (but not in a browser window - I am still not very much a webapp person, and I need offline access to my notes). Rather a much desired setup would be a Desktop counterpart of the same app with sync (like is the case with many WM apps).
Notes on this - Can we only have Text-only notes? I don't think rich text editing is too much to ask, but does Android support that? I've not seen any note taking app do that (but then how do the word file editors work?).
A well-implemented search function that covers all notes... incremental search too much to ask?
Either tree-like or long scroll like (a-la evernote) structure to organise notes, instead of a simple list.
Tags.
That's what I can think of at the moment. Am I asking for the moon here, or is this available somewhere I didn't look?
Any help would me most appreciated.
Thank you
I agree with you on these. Everynote can be used offline, though, it just won't sync, of course.
Something I've been looking for, and hopefully someone knows of an option, is an app that does speech to text, but also records the voice memo, so you can correct any mistakes the voice recognition made, and things like that. Sort of a dictation and speech to text mash up?
Hi,
A year ago I developed an app as part of a group project at uni. Due to the limitations set by the project rules the app isn't properly designed for Android. The app is a tour guide, in 2 parts. The guide itself is an XML file which has all the content on it. The other part is the player, which is an Android app. The player parses the XML and forms Java Classes to store the data and then play it. The content is saved in the form of Slides in a Slideshow (part of the requirements of the project, not our choice). So for instance 1 slide will be the main menu, then clicking a button will take you to another slide which will be a sub menu and so on.
Now a year later I've come to update this app, originally I was just intending to change the AbsoluteLayouts we used to Relative/Linear/List/whatever works best for that particular slide and also to put the layouts into XML rather keep them in the Java. However I was wondering what would be the best Android practice for an app such as this?
The advantage of using XML for the guide is that say if we had a guide to a different city we could just upload that new XML to a server (the player can download remotely) and then download it to get a new tour guide. However would it be best for me to strip away all of this and start afresh, with Android in mind? I.E. by removing the need to parse an XML file at the start and just have a new app for each city.
I've been thinking about a complete overhaul as changing AbsoluteLayout will be a pain. At the moment each component is given X and Y coordinates in the main XML file, so changing that to relative commands, changing the parser to read that will be hard. Also it's best practice to store the layouts in R.layout but it would be hard to convert the layout from the main Tour Guide XML to a layout XML... if that makes sense :/
If I were to remove the main XML, how would I handle each menu or content page? Would they be given their own activity?
Sorry for the long post, I just want to be clear on what the best way to update this app would be and am just learning how to properly design Android apps. I really appreciate any advice and for taking the time to read this post!
If I've put this in the wrong forum then let me know and I'll move it

i created my first app using it
and its on the market with around 2k downloads
it has its issues and bugs but it was my first real coding experience.
its worth checking out
and its free
Hi all,
i just release the Free version of my app called "Lends Manager (Free)".
"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calsoft.LendsManagerFree&hl=en"
Here a short description:
Never forget the products you lended!!!
This application allows you to manage your products library (Movies, Pc & Console Games, Books,...) and to lend to a person in your contacts list, keeping trace of all active lends.
A Barcode reader (using your device's camera) can be used to insert and in future research of your products. If you add a product using the barcode reader, the application tries to find the product name automatically on internet (if an internet connection is active).
The lend and return process can be done using the barcode reader too, to simplify the product research in the library.
The free version allows you to manage 10 products
Let me know what do you think about it
The video review has a terrible video quality and has an amaturish feel, I would go without it.
I haven't tried the actual app though.

I am new to Android App development. I need some simple application ideas to practice. please give me some ideas. I just made Rock, Paper, Scissor game. So easy games like this will be fine(I think )
Build a notepad app that lets you write and save notes. Build it steps where you increase the difficulty as you go on:
Make an app with a textbox that lets you enter text
Add a save button and learn how to execute code when the button is hit. Whenever you encounter any problems or don't know what to do, use Google! There are a lot of other running the same path as you and me who have encountered problems. The solution is almost always a search away!
Implement a save function that saves the content when the button is hit. When the user reopens the app load the text file and put the content in the textbox. Tip: Use SharedPreferences
Time to add support for multiple notes! Start off by learning how to move between activities (windows), in your notepad app add a button labeled "All notes" that sends you to another activity when clicked. Use Google to finds articles on how to do this.
Once you've figured out how to move between windows, it's time to create a list with all the notes. To display a list you use ListViews, before jumping in to showing the actual notes create a mock list containing your favorite cars, cats, Justin Bieber songs, whatever! Once you get a hang of it, move on to the next step
Learn how to store multiple strings instead of just one. Check out JSON, it's a simple data structure that lets you store.. data. Tip: store the notes in JSONObjects in a JSONArray. The final JSON-string can be stored in SharedPreferences.
Once you get a grip of JSON, add an add button, preferably in the ActionBar, that lets you add notes. Save the new note in the JSONArray.
Replace the cars or cats that are currently shown by the created lists.
Voilà, you have a fully functional notepad app and you've learned how to: move between activities, store data, ListViews, find solutions with Google etc. Good luck!
What are you aiming for, eventually ? Do you want to be a game developer, utility developer, are you aiming for a job developing apps ?
That might help you decide what kind of test apps to make.
If you go for a game you could spend a fair bit of time dealing with the graphical elements and gameplay without understanding the basics... so before you do that I'd suggest getting familiar with the building blocks (Activity, Intent, Service, Handler, Looper and so on) first.

Hi,
Is there an app that will manage the library on the nook glow/simple touch better than the standard shelves? Adding a new book to a shelf is painful when you have to scroll through all the books already on the card! What I'd like is something like calibre where I can tag books and then create folders by tags.
I've found thread on fixed shelving but that app seems to be complex to use and maybe not finished.
I've also found this library thread but that too seems to be unfinished. V1.1 is the latest on the web site which doesn't look at the SD card.
Is there a free app in google play that works? I've failed to find one, most seem to want a later OS version.
Thanks
Renate's Library.apk 1.10 is the best I've found. Get it here : http://www.temblast.com/download/Library-1.10.apk
That said, you can search only authors and titles. You can't label your books like the B&N shelf function, as poorly executed as it is . I think the lack of a good retrieval system is a major problem with ebook readers. I have more than 1,000 books and sorting by subject would be very useful.
