[BOUNTY 20$] - Dev needed for warranty tracker

"Warranty Expiry Tracker"
Hi, I pretty much like the idea of this app (market) but the UI could really need some love.
It's also just availabe in English which makes it hard for some to understand.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Android development to code this.
Are there any wizards out there interested in making such an app? I'd volunteer to translate to German...

Hmm, that looks like a very simple app. You could probably learn how to do it in a month if you have some basic programming background. I'd do it but I have some projects I'm working on currently.
I'll keep this in the back of my head though.
Btw, I wonder if App Inventor could handle this, just a thought.

Bounty: 20$
Re-tested the Miritech App mentioned above but sadly it doesn't work on my German i9000, I can reproduce FCs and the programmer doesn't care to fix them.
I have gotten my AppInventor account lately, but don't have time left as I'm leaving my job to do something else. So I can't do this myself and I'd pay someone to do it.
Basically, this app can just consist of a couple of buttons:
- Add item to list*
- Search for item in list
- show list of items with warranty expired
* Item might contain item's name, its details, date of purchase, name of store, duration of warranty in month, picture of invoice / recipt
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hii marty,
thanks for your comments... but can you please specify the FC's you are getting on our application so that we can fix it right way and also we will take care of your needs if any in this application.
And this application is standardised app in english. If you want us to translate it in german then we can do it exclusively for you.. For this please contact us
Thanks..

I already emailed twice to [email protected], the address displayed on the Android Market, but I didn't get a response.
Anyway, here are my suggestions:
- Larger buttons on all screens (theres lot's of empty space left on my screen)
- Service contact details should not be mandatory
- Service contact mobile phone number doesn't accept arbitrary numbers
I will send you a logfile when it FCs again, please PM me an email adress.
An added bonus would be the possibility to localize the app. Are the strings hardcoded, or perhaps pulled from a file or database? If you send me a file, I'll translate all strings to German...

Hii marty,
We have uploaded updated version.Please Check it and let us know about FC.
Thanks

Ready Made Andriod Apps

Hi Everyone,
Im new so go easy lol
Im wanting your help with regards to my thesis im doing at University. Im conducting an experiment with regards to people interacting with my andriod application. Its going to be the most simplistic application and probably only needs 1 button ie 'enter' and Im wanting to find out if there are any ready made andriod apps out there, fully sourced etc for editing and publishing... Or starter kits that input the code for you. I have no software dev experience and could use some help, as I say im just looking for a smal app with just one button that says "enter" really, but allows me to put a logo on... quite basic
If anyone can help with this, that would be greatly appreciated.
Craig

Welcome to XDA
In the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) There are usually about 5-10 example apps for each version of Android (such as Android 2.2 or Android 3.0)
They are very simple, such as a notepad app, or a business card manager. And they are great ways to learn if you dissect them and poke around.
Have a look here to get started:
http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html
Good luck!

Thanks very much, thats really much appreciated

If your app is indeed that simple, private message me if you need something coded.

[Solved] Setup Captive Portal

Today I want to share everyone here. I have come to my conclusion that captive portal is good for some people out there who's trying to get business running by creating a wifi hotspot service to customer... But unfortunately... "I don't find a good way to do it"<<< that's inside your brain huh? Pretty Hopeless.
I don't find a good way to do it
If you have a better way to set it up, post it here....

Hi , I had similar idea.
I made a simple app for this purpose. If you are a developer, I need your help to improve the app. For downloading the app and source code check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-setup-fake-captive-portal-android-t4011689

[Q] App question

Hello Community,
I am extremely new to creating Android Apps. I was curious how difficult is it to create an app that has 4 buttons. 2 of the buttons will take you to parts of my company's website, 1 will call our support and 1 will open the email client to email our support address. I am going over the tutorials that are free for android and just want to make sure that this is possible. Please let me know.
Thank You,
Zack

Hey Zack,
Yes your idea is possible and I think it isn't very difficulty.
What you need are intents. Here is a link about this topic. It was very helpful for me.
ww.vogella.com/articles/AndroidIntent/article.html
I hope my first post was helpful.
PS: if you want contact me and I will write you an example app with the 4 buttons and the corresponding functions. Sry for my english I'm from Germany

[Q] Android App: create twitter feed platform

I am interested in creating and android based app where short posts like twitter can be shared with a group of people who has that app. So for example if 10 people have this app and one of them decided to create a post and share it then all the other 9 people should be able to see it in there feed. I am new to app development and was hoping I can get some kind of guidance from here as to where to start. I am not sure what kind of platform or technology is used in facebook and twitter for this specific purpose but I would like a similar setup. I really appreciate any help or guidance to help me get started and thanks in advance.

Google Cloud Messaging might be helpful in that case: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html
I'd, however, suggest to create some easier apps first, just for learning. Keep in mind, a twitter clone is a big and difficult project.

Smaller project
I would like to start from a smaller project but not sure about this area at all. I was thinking to just create a small app first where I create a post and it appears on the other end. Any ideas as how to go about it? thank you for your help.

I don't know how to do that as I've never really been interested in networking. I'd suggest to do something without networking as your first application to get used to Android's UI elements and to Android code in general.
As soon as you understood that you can do as much networking as you want but I would start with something that is easier. (A calculator is a typical beginner project. )

i ll give the example of Facebook
there
newsfeeds run on Hadoop
messages are on nosql not sure about this
all the searches you perform on the new graph interface (exculding those on messages) are through FQL
its a language of their own Facebook Query Language
Python is the backbone of it all, chief scripting language on thier server
of course the webinterface you see is php and javascript
........ this much only i know
but there are a few more
as u can see there's more to it than it seems to be so starting with such a thing won't be a wise decision !
"no hill too high to climb" - proceed this project if you really want to !
