Hey Friends..
We have made a guardian app called mSaver.
Description:-
mSaver is a guardian application.It tracks your current location and pass the information to your friends instantly as a text message, when you tap a single button. The application plays a vital role when an individual is in any dangerous situation and wish to pass the information about his current location to his friends or relatives without giving any indication to the persons nearby.It also have an option for sending periodic alerts,which updates your friends or relatives with your changing location(if you are moving) information in a periodic manner. When periodic alert is turned on,the application will run in background and sends messages to your friends even if the application is closed by the user. It also provides an option to update the location when you are safe.
The application lets you to configure social medias like Facebook and Twitter and so that you can update your current location information and hence ask for help from your friends there.
The application is built with simple UIs so that it can easily be operated in seconds when you are in danger. All the messages and durations are customizable.
Note:This application is strictly rely on the network availability of your device.
Please give your valuable feedback. Its really important for us.
You should have posted it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games . But that's ok maybe a moderator will move it there. Your app looks pretty cool. You should post a link to google play or something. One thing though, when travelling I never have a good connection. The google maps api lets you reverse GPS location into a city/country name. You usually have to wait a bit for that information to load after the GPS signal has been acquired for that info to not return null. So like while on wifi on a pit stop is a good time to report "made it to country/city" to recipients.

Dear Members,
I am working on an application in C# for WM which connects to saynoto0870.com website and fetches the alternative geographical No. to 0845,0870,0844 etc.
How this application works is as follows:
When user dials an 0844 or 0871 No. this application intercepts and provides with options to either go ahead or check for an alternative geographical (landline or 0800) No. from saynoto0870 website. (this option disappears after 5 second if no input is provided by user and tries to reach the dialled No.)
If user allows the application to connect and search for alternative No. it fetches the company's name, alternative No. and description of alternative No.
It then lets the user call the alternative No. by clicking on it
It also keeps track of retrieved numbers in history(application specific) and provides option to add the No. to contact List.
What I would require from respected members is to provide their comments and suggestions. I will be much obliged to receive suggestions to improve the application. I will soon post the screen shots. but first I need to make sure there are enough users to utilize this application. and no doubt this application will be free to use and redistribute.
Thanking you,
Ittar
P.S. Please do not forget to write down your suggestions.
Did you get anywhere with this ? i use the service all the time, would save loading up a browser and messing about.
I second that! I hadn't even noticed the first post!!
Definately a great idea!
Hi everybody! I have a request for an sms app to fulfil my daily needs! Here is what I would wish for:
1) Config and save the following parameters: phone number, sms text, start time, interval (in minutes), end time and/or number of iterations.
2) Start the app, change/confirm settings and then let it automatically and repeatedly send sms to the predefined number with the predefined text and timing.
What is this good for? Well, my personal scope of application would be the sms parking service that is available in my hometown (Austria/Vienna)... You just send a text e.g. "10 *w47559e" and you're good to park your car for the stated number of minutes and car sign. However, if for some reason one needs more time, it is troublesome to constantly extend that sms ticket manually.
Maybe you guys can point me to an already existing tool that does the job. Or perhaps one hell of a coder here can give it a try! Wouldn’t normally make such a request but considering some of the great apps appearing on this board I thought it could be worth asking.
Thanks!

PowerSMS (Freeware) will do all that for you.

While I am not new in any way to Java programming, I am still quite a novice at Android development. Regardless of this, I took it upon myself to mobile-ify a custom chat applet for a website I frequent. The question here is, what would be the best way of going about this?
The application needs to be able to store login info on the device for ease of use. Every time the user joins the chat, it will send a POST request to the website's login.php with the stored username and password, to get an SID back which will be used to login to the chat. For this I plan on using a simple SQLite database.
After it has the SID, the phone will establish a connection with the server and, once connected, send it a message containing "/login [sid]". From then on, the user is connected to the chat and will receive messages and be able to send them. How I'm currently going about this is to use a background Service which will actually handle the connection, so the user can put the chat on hold while they do something else, and when they return will still be connected and receiving messages.
This second part is what I'm not sure about: since the Service handles the connection, the Activity which handles the UI needs to be aware of it. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this aspect of Activity-Service communication. Would a BroadcastReceiver or some other class be more suited for this purpose? It's hard to decide when the examples provided in the Android Dev Guide don't quite match up.
Any helpful tips or suggestions are always appreciated.
Activity-Service interaction is tricky, hope this helps:

Hello XDA,
Well I am just a Beginner in android development, basically I am a student and a task is given to me to make an simple application don't need to have great UI etc, but it should perform functionality as directed below or give and explain your reason weather it could be implemented or not.
Well i think it could be implemented but i need guidance about how to do that,
1) Built an app which can triggered by text message (could be any type of)
2) application need to have some code for gps which can be triggered by sending a simple message from my other android phone(how and on which activity)
3) than that phone have to return its location by sending coordinate or map link with its location to me (Email or just a simple text message or other messaging services like whatsapp viber etc)
4) that message should not be received by any other messaging app (how can i Limitize the broadcast receiver etc)
5) if GPS is off text message should turn it on first
