Functions needed:
-read out hardware Specs
-read out installed Software
-read out User Name
-send this Information over Port 80 to a Server
-nice to have: run as Service and auto send this information to the Server
Tools I've got:
-Visual Studio 2008
Skills I've got:
-writing c++ console apps
What I need:
-a Tip which programming-language I shoul use
-Some links where i can find the the functions in this language which I need
What I've done:
-search in xda-developers.com
-search in MSDN(but I don't know which language i should use)
-wrote small (stupid) apps like an calculator for ppc in visual basic as little test
-I tried to do the same in visual c++ -> without any good product, i don't know how to make a gui for the functions.
I hope you can help me, espacially in the language thing.
Thanks,
Flo

Thanks a lot!
I think I'll try to use Visual Basic.
One Question further: where I can find the Commands I need to read out the Information out of the Device.

Hi,
VB was good for the first steps, but after reading in msdn i decided to use Visual c#(a can use c++ although but i think c# is better for this!?) instead.
So, registry Values i can read out. But all the other stuff....I don't know how to get this out. "You should use the API functions" i read every where, but that helps no step. I don't know which API and i don't know how to speak with it.
I hope you can give me some Tips or links.
Thanks

thanks for your help so far *:-/
IMEI,Owner,Hardware(bluetooth,Phone,Wifi,Camera) is detected....
My Problem now is: CPU Speed
I didn't found a registry entry with the Speed in it, so i need another function. Some ideas?
Im using C#...

One more Question:
Where the "Settings->System->Deviceinformation->Hardware"-Window gets its Information from?
Hope someone will answer.
Thanks.

Programming

I am looking to learn how to program simple things for windows mobile 5 and 6. I already have all the tools i can create a blank program. I need to learn how to do simple things such as display values to the screen. I do have a working knowledge of C++ I have created many console apps that do random things even a simple game. I have never created anything other then console apps in C++. I need to learn some windows mobile API i guess i just need to be pointed in the right direction, I have tried the MSDN library and didn't get much help there. If any one knows a great place to learn the basics on windows mobile programming that would be great.

I would suggest you look at C# and the .net framework. Working in C++ with the API's is not an easy task. If you have Visual Studio, get the Windows Mobile SDK, then look at www.codeproject.com for some samples. Good Luck!!

programming win32 from windows mobile is pretty much the same as on a pc
and programming c++ up agenst win32 is much much faster then .net
codeguru website got some guides for how to get started also with things like today screen items

Create Panels using c++ help

Hey,
Anyone got any links to some code samples for creating a panel using c++.
I have VS2008 and the SE SDK but the panel there only shows how to put some text on the panel and no more without a good explanation how to extend this to add images etc.
The html panel is limiting so rather not build a pabel with that.
So hope there is someone here who could contribute some source code / vs project so i could get on my way creating one, just not alot of information on the net about this that i can find, really wish SE would help us all out with better examples and a full list of pseudo codes for html panels, you think think they would given that this is the unique point to the xperia.
My wee x1 needs some love!!
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Try looking for help on MSDN. Try searching for "Directdraw" or "GDI". Haven't found any better tutorial yet :S

[Q] How to develop an Android Math Game (New to Android)

Hi,
I am new to the Android development scene and I need to pull off a math game project in less then a week. I am using Eclipse to do this, but is there any other easier way such as Visual basic GUI way that you can pull off 100% raw code from it?
Can someone help me through this? . I need basic knowledge on text label, input box, button, perform math operation , if statement, loops, and method. If anyone can quickly guide me through this would be great.
Basically I am programming a math game with subtraction and division. I need to have difficulty mode easy medium hard which is basically randomized numbers in bigger range. Then there is level from 1-4 which is increasement of number of questions. And there are lives also.
Thanks In advance if someone can help me

This sounds like a class
Have you tried to even do the layout in eclipse yet? That is a pretty simple step that shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes.

It will be really simple to make.. I can code it if you want.. but I am really bad in making the GUI.

Thanks for offering to help but i would like to understand the fundemental of coding in this android field. I have indeed done Java before, and i made the exact math game that i am attempting to do on this project, my java game was consisting with loops/if/while statements (for # of questions), randomizing numbers, menu options. I do know that android uses java language but when i went through the official guide on the developer website, it seems a bit too challenging to follow.
it would be great if someone could guide me with an example statements of using methods, loops such as if and while/for how to interpret info from input box and or interpret from user click button and such.
If it would be any help, i can post my original java math game

Android app development help?

Hello, I am a computer science student and i need some help getting into android programming, i know a bit, but frankly it aint much.
I know C++, C#,Visual Basic,(I know C++ the most) and i am currently taking a class on Java, but I want to get into android programming too!(I made a game for android a while back using unity.)
I don't need a tutorial from the ground up.
I know how setup the environment, sdk, run, etc.
I want to learn how to work with layouts and make them look cool,
basic app functionality, work my way to internet connected apps, databases, apps with root, gestures, all that fun stuff.
I am just wondering if anyone would share any info or site that helped them.
I am not that much of a noob to programming but i am to the android sdk and a rookie with java.
if any mentor would step up or something i would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
btw if you're feeling bored check out my game!

Yes, i know its hard, i have a better version, i just haven't compiled and uploaded, i will soon.

I think best Website is always developer.android.com.
It hasn't only the API reference, but also Training section and much more.
Whenever I don't know sth I first visit this.
Regards

According to me you should go step wise step...Watch video tutorials on YT.
You can ping me for help.
Thanks

then go to java website and start learning java. Loads of tutorial stuff is on their website
java.com
then go and download the Android SDK in about 2-3 months when you've completed the above.
