I just published my first app to the Play store. A watch face. I would really like to add the ability to allow the user to customize the layout (color/pics) of the watch face from the phone. I've tried every tutorial, example, and info from Google's dev page that I could find online. I either get errors that don't allow me to build my project or it'll build but force closes when selecting the watch face.
Sorry I don't have any logs or anything. I kept getting frustrated with not being able to get it work and started focusing on getting the app somewhat finished to publish.
If this helps, here's my project in my dropbox:

Here's the app so far:

[App] Destiny Watchface
Also, what about copyright? As long as I keep this free I shouldn't have to worry about that right?

Just wondering if anyone has thought of or better still started to build an XDA App Store.
I am thinking of an app we can all download to our phones, it will auto see what phone you have and only show those apps from XDA users, auto download updates of installed apps, auto download dependancies etc.
I have used an iphone hacked with cydia and such and it is much easier for downloading programs in this manner.
Just my 2 cents guys, I do hope we see something someday.
I know that you said that it should be XDA-specific, but another option is called App2Date.
Take a look here:

I was thinking of making one myself, but I definitely do not have time to even start such a project. I'm fairly busy with other ones.
Its not quite what I imagined.
That program does the updates, but like cydia for a hacked iphone you should be able to download new programs as well.
I honestly don't think it would be too hard or dificult to make.
All we really need is an app to list the programs based on the device and wm version your currently running.
The only problem will be to find somewhere to store the apps. A solution could be a simple databased maintaned and hosted by XDA, that will list the program name, details, OS and device information (so you can get the correct version for your phone) and a direct download link to the cab file. This way the apps can be hosted anywhere and we can avoid having to run and pay for a huge data transfer of programs.
I can possibly help with the database if anyones interested in helping to write the actuall app. Then the listings can be maintaned by xda registered users.
Hi,
i am one of the developers of mobile2day.com an we have the possibility to provide a big database with applications mapped to several devices. So we can show only applications for a specific device.
We have allready a mobile solution running on http://mobile2day.mobi/en/usd/index.html where you can buy and download applications. Maybe we can think about to add beta software, too.
Please, if you are interested feel free to contact me.
I was owner of an iPhone before I bought my Touch Pro and besides the fact that the iPhone is not that good it has one big advantage: The AppStore
I would love that kind of store for WM Apps
Is anyone else unable to get certain apps from the Android Market on their Vibrant?
Search www dot cyrket dot com for anifree (the author of a Live wall paper I want). See all the apps/wallpapers? Now take your Vibrant to the market and search for the same thing (anifree). You'll find their Agenda and their Funny Pic apps. Not a single wall paper.
Shooting the barcode in Google Goggles or Barcode Scanner returns the same result. App not found.
Anyone have any advice?
I have experienced this issue as well, not sure how to fix it or what it's caused by. Let me guess your looking for the koi pond wallpaper? In the theme section there's a thread titled live wallpapers, and you'll find it in there.

I'm having this issue with my new vibrant also. My phone is rooted and I thought that might have something to do with it, but I checked on a family member's new vibrant and the anipet live wallpapers also don't show for them with a market search or using the qr code on cryket. I installed the koi wallpaper on my phone from the live wallpapers thread, and the atrackdog app showed it has an update available, but it's link can't access the app from the market either. There were a few other live wallpapers I've been unable to access thru the market or cryket, starfield and panoplanet are a couple that come to mind.
I'm unable to some apps in the market either... I haven't rooted or anything yet. Anyone figure out how to fix this phone so that we can see all apps in the market?
Apparently there are different versions of the market, I only got mine to work after applying metamorphs that had the adverse effect of changing the version I had.

What happens is this, as I've read from another thread: when a company launches a new phone, they tell google about it. Google then updates the market so that if your phone's specs (what version of android it is running, mainly) are capable of running the app you're trying to find, it shows it to you. If Google knows your phone can't run it, it won't let you see the app in the market to avoid you downloading something that you cannot run.
Sometimes Google updates their market database quickly, or sometimes it takes them a long time.... like it apparently is taking for the Vibrant. So it currently doesn't know that the Vibrant is an Eclair 2.1 phone, which supports live wallpapers (some phones running 2.1 don't). It thinks the Vibrant can't use them, so it blocks them.
If there are apps you want, I would suggest getting the APK from a reliable source elsewhere and installing it. For example, last I checked Angry Birds wasn't available on the market, but someone posted a link so that you may download it from elsewhere.
It is kind of strange though because some live wallpapers do show up, and some don't. Apparently though it is all up to Google. There might be a way to modify the identity of your phone to the market so it thinks it is one of the phones that is currently recognized as a phone that can run anything, but I don't know of it, I'm new to the whole mod/root scene.
The application manifest file for an android app can specify all of the supported hardware combinations.
Generally android will refuse to load an app if it can't find a hardware configuration that matches the device.
For example: if all of the configurations listed in the applications manifest file require a d-pad, android will refuse to install it on any device lacking that feature.

Good Afternoon,
I am in need of some support or help if possible please,
i am trying to create an application using the new android studio(this is my 1st time trying to make an app)
i have managed to get my logo as the app icon
got a contact icon /name/tel number and the app to load on my nexus 4 ok and i can change the details on the app from my phone,
i am now truly stuck. i require photo albums to be in the app with tabs,
the app is for my small business
i ideally need 2 tabs at the bottom (about us/photos)
the photo tab to load all the albums of photos i need to be viewed by people 20 albums about 200 photos in total.
i have tried and tried to follow guides but they seem to be all for eclipse and eclipse wont let me create a new app at all(all updated just wont show the next button after package name ect...
this is the only app i need to make, i would love to try and make myself but this is proving either to hard for myself or im missing something very basic....
are there devs on here that create small apps like this at a cost ?
are there any better tutorials for the new studio builder?
any feedback welcome.
regards
XDA is not a place where you can hire devs as far as photo album are concerned I recently worked with one They're quite simple to build but rendering Images on them is a pain but once you get the algorithm right it's all good take a look at a very scratch version of what I made If its something you'd want I can help you with it

Hope this is the right place.
Bought a Kindle Fire 10 for use with an app called OBDEleven, which allows you to scan your car and make changes to some settings. To use the app to make changes, the user requires credits, that they can earn each day by watching an in app add. After installing Google Play by following the directions provided, and installing the app, all had been working fine. For 14 days or so I had been earning credits.
6 days ago something changed and I am not able to see the in-app ads.
I'm hoping that someone might know of something that might help me overcome this. I installed youtube to force location services, and when I start OBDEleven I see that pops up and disappears, but I don't know if it should stay.
@jester7677 - wrong forum ! https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general
In all ads for speedtest aren't working either.
Any ideas on what I can try to force ads in non amazon apps?
Hello.
Our Wear OS application, which is not a standalone application (it is a companion app of our smartphone app, it cannot be used without the smartphone app) keeps getting rejected by Google Play Policy team for the following reason : "Your application requires phone interaction for the watch version to function." even if we have clearly explained in our Play Store description that it is not a standalone application and cannot work when the smartphone app is not available.
Our application was previously accepted and published on the Play Store but we suspect a Google policy change even if we haven't found it clearly anywhere (we have only found recommendations which encourage standalone apps).
=> Are not-standalone Wear OS apps still allowed for Play Store submission or must our Wear OS app include at least a standalone feature ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
I am not sure, but I know there are some apps that are embedded in the phone app to deploy to a WearOS watch (like the Hyundai Blue Link App and the Genesis Intelligent Connect App). If your phone is paired with a WearOS watch, it loads the app onto the phone. Maybe you can try something like that.
Funny thing is the apps right now do not load the app to the Watch4. I think it is because the Watch4 is on WearOS4. I had a different watch at one time that was plain Jane WearOS and the app loaded just fine. I am looking for Hyundai/Genesis to correct this issue. I hope.
I also got a wear os companion app update reject on 6.Jul. My last update was successful on 30.May.2022. Did not see any policy regarding to the companion app issue. It is just weird and I have also appealed to get more info. Did you appeal the reject?
