[Q] Need help creating an app.

Hey everyone, I'm new to XDA forums. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me I want to create an android app for a forum site. It would be similar to the app for this site. I know basics but this I think is out of my league. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks alot.

The simple (and easier) way to go about it is to create an app that has one activity with a webview in it that points to your forum site(mobile view).
That way you can have a downloadable app with a nice icon and everything but you don't have to reinvent the wheel of your forum in java.

Gingerbread & HTC search anywhere

Hi guys,
I've got a little problem here. After updating my DHD to 2.3 I have lost the HTC search app and widget which I prefer over Google (its much more customizable). If anyone has to .apk file i would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I bought my desire hd the 5th of may and the same day received the gingerbread OTA update, then I saw on the htc site the description of the search feature, but if I press the search button from the home it always start google search.
It would be nice if someone knows how to restore the default htc search feature.
Unless htc decided to replace it with google search by purpose...

I preferred the HTC search anywhere app as it is much more customizable than the Google search bar. But I've been looking around for ages mate with no luck.
If you find anything give me a shout.

Ive noticed that olny after reading this... If someone coud give a solution that would be nice ..

I know that if you have updated your DHD you should be running Sense UI 2.1+, which means if anyone could get hold of the apk file it would install fine and work.
Just haven't been able to find the file anywhere.

If I start typing in the search box in 2.3, it actually finds stuff from the phone as well, e.g. contacts, music without using Google. From what I recall, it's exactly the same in the Search anywhere app, minus the Google search option.

The search anywhere app allowed us to choose and arrange your searched items as you like. I also find that Google search doesn't search my contacts for some reasons. :S

Current SearchAnywhere sources not compatible with a new Htc Sense 3.x.
This project not even supported for the moment.

how to build an app

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.

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.

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!

How to get my imstagram app up in the rankings

Hi everyone. I have just published an app to the playstore. What it does is that you sign In with you instagram account pick a photo then I put it on a T-shirt and deliver it to the customer.
Problem is that when you type in instagram in the search my app is quite far down the list so therefore quite hard to see.
I've tried different keywords changing the title, description and even category but none of them seem to be moving it further up.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Maybe try uploading to this website in the appropriate section of course. I'd put it on at least a few more websites like App brain. You could also put a video on YouTube on how to use the app even if it's very simple. Things like his could get your app to used by more people. This is just an idea as I've never developed an application but it's worth a try I guess. Good luck!

Manual keyboard??

Hi this is a repost, ( I tried posting this in the general android Q&A, but got no answers ) So here this is again. I tried searching for similar questions to this, but didnt find anything, so thats why i wanted to make a new post. So I was trying to play different kinds of games on the web, for example, flash games, but (maybe as you could have guessed), I couldnt bring up the keyboard for the input box. So, my question was, if there was anyway to bring up the android keyboard manually, (or forcefully) to be able to type in the box?? Oh and Im trying to find a solution for this problem doing all this on my Nexus 4 with jelly bean 4.2.2
