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!

Nexus 4 port?

Anyone know if there is one?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I don't know if there is one, but it would be nice if there was a port.

there is only the x86 based sdk which you can download and start develop from sailfishos.org . good luck.

I am more of a electronic person than a software/programmer I know a bit but not enough. I can look into though.
NEXUS 4
ROM: CM 10.1 Nightlies
Kernel: Faux123
Theme: Crystal 2

AW: Nexus 4 port?
There are no ports or images for any devices. There's only one image for the Nokia N950 that you can build yourself from meet source in theory. But afaik you can't get the Jolla UI. You could try to build mer with nemo mobile for a nexus device. That sounds doable to me.

NEXUS 4 is great idea

yeah. wish to see one port for Nexus 4 ...tks

Jolla is a group consisting of mostly ex-Nokia employees. Considering that, if their culture is anything like Nokia, they are more worried about selling hardware. MeeGo/Maemo was open sourced out of their control. I will be interested to see if we ever see their proprietary UI open sourced. The good news is that as was pointed out, all Sailfish apps will be able to run on MeeGo/Maemo derivatives like Mer.

MAYBE only MAYBE i will port it for GT-i9000 and someone can port it for nexus ... Only MAYBE when i got no exams and so on .. Dont make any hopes it is only mabe

Jolla acctually demostrated a Nexus 7 with Sailfish ported during the conference in China, doesn't function 100% well. But you can at least see the possiblity.

They are hardware guys without hardware. I don't think they have ANY hardware partners yet. I have only seen it running on old Nokia hardware, which I guess says something for its speed.
They love showing off that ambiance thing, but you can do the same effect with CSS and JavaScript on a web page, so I question if what they are showing is not just a trick, or if it is REALLY the OS, because the SDK has NONE of the interface they keep showing off.

So their own device doesn't count?
Wanted to post new youtube videos, but as I don't have 10 posts I can't. Open youtube and search for: Jolla Launches First Sailfish OS Smartphone - Hands-On Demo
You can preorder the device already: jolla.com

sound good :laugh:

Double tap to unlock idea is worthless in my opinion. But I'd love to see that OS in Nexus devices.

You can get double tap to unlock with the PGM app. Though that's for specific devices. Trust me, double tap to unlock is awesome!

[Q] Note 10.1 port for Nexus 10?

Has anyone heard any news at all about a possible Note 10.1 port for N10? I'm waiting for some of that MULTI-WINDOW love on this beast of a machine. I've Google searched to no avail and have been scouring the various developer forums over countless websites in search of this white whale. Some has got to be working on this. If I knew how, I would be.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD

The multi windows is so buggy... just by watching some of the reviews it doesn't work half the time, or not in the way that the user wants it to work - switching between the apps is good enough for me.

I only asked asked about it because I am a college student and would love to have my chemical equations pdf open in one window while I'm inputing stats into the calculator side by side.

Plus, I know it won't be as simple as porting the multi-window function. The entire touchwiz sytle rom would have to be ported.

You can give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite
It's not exactly what you want, but close to it. Also a multiwindow browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appestry.split_browser_trial

I saw that... So i guess maybe one day...

Nice. This at least allows me to use the calculator while I'm viewing my PDF. Limited though it may be, it works.

There was a thread somewhere about this, from a guy who was starting to work on it and wanted a hand. I don't have the link for it but I think the development was called Cornerstone, could try googling that?

Firefox OS for iPhone 4

I have this iPhone 4 that I don't use, and I remember from something I read (probably an official Mozilla forum) about the iPhone being supported but I can't find the page again. I was wondering if anyone knew about a port of Firefox OS for the iPhone 4?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app

I really don't see how it would be possible to run Firefox os on an I phone because i believe is based in Linux and would require a Linux kernel. I'm pretty sure that iOS devices are not based in Linux so you would need a new motherboard compatible with the I phone hardware that ran android
sent from my nex7

I think there' s no possibilty to see firefox on iPhone!

It makes sense that it wouldn't work, but I thought iOS was UNIX based?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm really not sure if it is Unix or linux based since I don't really do anything with Firefox os but either way there's no way I would run on an iphone
sent from my nex7

Aside from needing drivers for the hardware (which I imagine isn't completely proprietary to the iOS hardware), FFXOS needs an unlocked bootloader to work.
I'm not entirely sure the bootloader on any iOS device has been successfully replaced yet.

Why dont you sell the iphone and buy a Nexus instead? Fully supported by Mozilla and a Tier 1 device.

it's impossible
