FOSS(Free/Libre) Software Repository

For anyone who likes to use/support FOSS and have access to the source code for what they install, f-droid.org has a handy app that lets you see only FOSS apps(you can loosen the restriction in the settings somewhat if need be).
http://f-droid.org/repository/
I've found the two pane file explorer and SSH ConnectBot and the IRC client to be excellent for my purposes. Anyone else using any of it?
Yes I use those apps (ghost commander you are talking about) as well as k9mail, osmand and about 10 more. Actually I've stopped using Google Play altogether. The problem I have is that many open source apps are getting released all the time and a lot of them dont get into f-droid , for various reasons, the main one being there is not enough developers to put together the recipes. You can suggest an app on the f-droid forums but you might have to wait a while until a developer gets around to collecting the metadata, inspecting the source code for dodgy bits, and merging it. This post http://f-droid.org/forums/topic/adding-apps-with-git/#post-587 explains the process and it doesn't look that hard. I think if more developers were aware of its existence and submitted their own apps the repo would be a lot healthier.
thanks

[APP] Paste It, pastebin alternative

You probably know pastebin already. It’s a free service to paste logs, code and other texts easily.
We as Team BlueRidge wanted something similar which runs on our own server.
Thats why we’re now running Stikked on the paste.teamblueridge.org subdomain.
To make it easier for Android users to paste text, we created Paste It. For now you can set your name and the domain, but we will add more features in future.
Of course this project is open source, so check the code here. If you got anything to contribute (like translations), please use gerrit code review.
Want to report a bug or feature, please fill in all details here. Thanks in advance.
Don't worry if you don't trust our server. The app allows you to change domains, so any site with Stikked installed can be used.
May I recreate a new icon re-design for you? Let me know
Works fine btw ^_^
New Play Store URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.teamblueridge.pasteitapp
We had an issue with our app that caused us to need to completely republish. We apologize for any inconvenience. I hope my resurrecting a dead thread is forgivable, as we are re-announcing our "new" app. The same links apply for viewing the code or contributing to the code.
Features:
Paste to any Stikked site from your phone
Select a file to upload from your device
Material-inspired design
Select a language for code-highlighting once it reaches the server (including Logcat if the server supports it)
Coming Soon:

Can I find our if an app has open code?

I want to check if a specific app has some open source codes. Is there a tool for that?
You could ask the dev or look at the description posted with it. Another option is to just Google something and see what comes up.
As far as I know, you can't just see it without researching it.
The best you can do is to google or search the GitHub for the app package name.
Searching for package name is more reliable than app name as package name is part of the source code (present in Manifest.xml etc.) but the name visible in Play Store can be changed without touching sources.

Android: Unlock application's additional features with Facebook share or tweet

I have a free application published on Google Play. I want to add some new features and ask users to 'pay' for them with Facebook shares or tweets.
Scenario:
1. User updates application
2. New features are available in settings but they are not active
3. To activate feature user has to share information about my application on FB or on Tweeter
4. Only if sharing was successful feature will be available to the user.
For me it seems like a good idea to spread information about application in social media... however I can't find any 'out of the box' solution (library or code). Is there any?
Has anybody tried this approach and was it successful?
Also I'm trying to find out if this method is compliant with Google Play policy. I've read play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html with great care but I didn't find any clues. Has anyone got any policy violations emails from Google after implementing this method?
Maybe you can find something in the Facebook API.

What do you use to code? There's tons of assets for Unity that'd do what you're trying to do.

I'm not using Unity but develop my app in 'pure' Android SDK.
Just found this library: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/457153/How-to-integrate-Facebook-Twitter-Linkedin-in-Andr
It looks promising so I'll give it a try.
You mean reward users for posting on Facebook or any social share, sure I dont think its that hard,
just everytime a user presses on the Share button add some coins to him ingame, you can also make
alot of money if you reward useres for watching a video ad in your game like a Vungle ad.

json2view - Update native Android UI on the fly

Hey guys,
today we are releasing an internal tool called json2view as open-source and we'd love to hear your thoughts or see your contributions.
Basically, json2view is a simple library that can convert a compatible JSON file into an Android view so you can load dynamically the view in your Android app without the need to update the APK.
This removes the hassle of updating, re-compiling and uploading the APK to Google Play everytime you want to make small or big changes in the UI.
You can check the Github repo:
https://github.com/Avocarrot/json2view
Cheers,
George
That is so damn cool!
