[idea] Dj Application

For those experimenting with software like Virtual DJ, I think it would be a cool idea to have a mobile version of a DJ program..
You could load 1 or 2 tracks in it and if possible record your progress
I thought of 2 ways that this could be done..
1. Screen Touch (One touch)
A disk could be shown on the screen and you could scratch the disk by moving your finger up and down on the disk.
IF possible you could have the 2nd song linked to the scrollwheel so that you could scratch 2 songs at the same time
2. The cool & hard way
A while ago i saw a video which showed that the scrollwheel area is capable of multitouch (left and right of the scrollwheel). However there are no applications that allow that yet (as far as i know)..it is possible though so thats what matters..
so the other way would be to use that area to scratch both of the sonds together if needed..
I remember that there is a DJ mixer software for the Nokia N series (symbian)..Hopefully someone can make this with a Diamond twist..
Any thoughts of this?
I somehow sense that people will start bashing about it being useless and posting comments like " Why dont you do it on the computer instead ffs!! )
Anyway, i think it would be a cool piece of software to have if its possible to make it ofcourse

useless, don`t see the point.
do it on youre regular PC, get a nokia N-series.
otherwise it is a great idea of having fun for the dull moments
so good thinking

by the way the nokia series version does not allow you to spin the disks but hopefully a diamond version will

That`s what I use.. sometimes...
Not exactly the app being demanded.. but maybe it will do.

LOTTO for WinMobile (REQ)

Hello Dev`s i have a request and idea about app if anyone like the idea can create app like this:
Im talking about Lotto for Windows Mobile 6.X WVGA VGA etc
One litle application with beautyfull interface
How to work:
By scanning the past draws, this program can detect patterns and calculate probability to predict the next set of numbers. After each draw, new numbers are added and considered for the next draw. The Picks can be exported to a text file.
For example, Lotto649 has 6 balls, 1-49. With 2200 past draws imported into this program, 5 lines were purchased to test the new version,
So i know its hard and i dont ask you to give me the lotto winning numbers but sometimes when you play lotto and you don`t know any numbers and you are pissed of you can try playing with this litle app... also will be easy to be used worldwide i mean for example if the file with all draws is some kind txt file so im in Bulgaria and here we have too 6/49 so i can download all draws in the past 5 years for example and transfer them to the app, everyone will be able to set the application depending of what lotto he wana play..
i found already app like this but is very OLD designed for WM 5 non touch screen and the interface look really bad.. http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?productId=120196&platformId=30
If anyone like the idea is up to you.

probablitity and statistics, and perhaps a tiny bit of chaos theory. In the long run you will probally spend as much on lotto tickets as you win. By developing this program you're stating that lottery numbers can be calculated via an algorithm and thus defeating the purpose of the lottery being random.
I don't think chaos theory is that easy to calculate lol...
i'm not putting you down or something, but i suggest you start on a smaller scale, like the output of sets of numbers followed by an algorithm to predict the next set of numbers and growing from there. try programming in java i suppose GO GO GO! time to go take my engineering final

Like i say i know this already and of course its not easy and i dont think that someone will make a software everytime i play lotto to know all the numbers the point was that this app can be something like fun tool for example of course i dont trust to this apps but sometimes you are going to play numbers and you dont have any numbers in your head then probably you can use app like this and to play lotto with this numbers.
Have few options the one alogithm to calculate the numbers from 1 to 49 how many times they appaear in the draws for example in the last 5 years but this is not working because for example 21 appear alot more times than all other but like you say its a chaos so this time 21 will not appear again because he already did so many times...
I think better variant is algorithm to calculate combinations of 6 numbers NOT only witch numbers appear mostly but Combination for example if appear the number 21 then have big chance to appear in the same draw 27 this is just example.. im talking about a pattern of 6 numbers combination, i think this is more corect calculating because if we chek for the last 10 years the numbers of course we can`t do it without a program but if we have a program like this we can see some pattern im not saying that this patern is 100% sure and you will WIN but its good to have it..
By this pattern i mean for example when appear the number 21 in the draw and the algoruthim to chek this that 70% of the draws for the last 5-10 years when the number 21 appear 70% from the times appear too the number 27 so for this im talking about.
On the final i will say again THIS APP IS FOR FUN when you wana PLAY LOTTO and you dont have in your head any NUMBERS.

Sorry, but your idea of stochastic is wrong. The draws are independant from each other. Impossible to predict.
Dont think, that programmers are as bad in math to waste there time building such an application.
Before answering, please consider to look in some stochastic books

do you name your gadgets?

I ran out of names for gadgets and computers long ago. My first couple of computers had names, so did my laptops .. I named most of my gadgets for the purpose of syncing - I think the last gadget I actually "named" was the Sony UMPC, can't remember the TRUE name for those. They were very small Windows machines, used a sim but never had voice. TOO BAD .. I would have kept mine if it had voice.
I almost named my Dell Streak - but didn't .. Paid a bundle to get an unlocked iphone 4s but didn't give it a name.
But I am thinking, a $1,000 phone deserves a name better than My Samsung Galaxy Note but since I am long out of names, I think I will call this My Samsung Whatever .. "Whatever for short ..

How about Biggie?

Why not Zoidberg?

Had this problem with my cats. Solution is simple: Cat #1, Cat #2 and so on...

I love it !!! That is it's name !! Zoidberg ..

Once I named my dopod u 1000 "kucrut"... and it is all because I installed a voice commad for windows mobile. I must say the name (which i personally record and taged) in order to activate the program. I use it to call (record the name for example "jack" and tag it to the desired contact and activate the call by saying "kucrut..! Jack") or i can use it to open programs etc. Not like android voice recognition.. this app needed you to record and taged your voice to contacts or programs.
I'm still searching for similar app in android since I'm using sgs2... its very convinient for me since I'm not an english speaking person.

The only "gadgets" I've named are my media centre PCs. The first one I assembled from components into a Shuttle chassis so that got christened "Bob", short for "box of bits". It is much easier in conversation to refer to "Bob" than "Media Centre PC" when using phrases like "Can you turn Bob on?"; "Are your pictures on Bob yet?" and so on.
When I upgraded that model with a Dell XPS PC that got the name "Bobby", derived from "Bob B".
I do refer to my Orange San Francisco phone as "Blade", but that's only because that's what it is (ZTE Blade), and again referring to it as "Orange San Francisco" is a bit of a mouthful that I don't want to have to say/write and I'm sure nobody wants to wait for me to finish saying.
Actually I've just remembered that when we had a hire car for three weeks while driving round New Zealand we called it "Colin". That's the first and last time I've named a car and it was in memory of a friend's little car which she called Colin and which was equally underpowered, but a brave little fighter.
My Samsung Galaxy Note (arriving today) will not be named. It will simply be known as "Note" or "Phone".

I used to name my gadgets from a book of "Forgotten English." The last time I used one of those names was maybe a half dozen years ago. My desktop computer was "Gobslotch." Just sort of rolls off the tongue .. From what I remember a Gobslotch was a greedy clownish person likely to gobble his food. One of my favorite words from Forgotten English was 'blowze.' Rough, red-faced wench. I loved all my toys too much to name them Blowze ..
Blowze Zoidberg ?? haha ..

Thanks to inspiration from my wife, I give them girls names.
The Note is called Nessa (ie: That's its Bluetooth name, so it shows up on my parrot in the car).
The Galaxy S2 preceding it was called Sophie.
Lame, I know.

movie game app idea

I have an idea for a game called six 'degrees of separation'
basically you pick 2 actors/actress with a connection of 4 other actors or actresses between them
for example
if the challenge is Tom Cruise to Dan Akroid
(1) Tom Cruise->(2) Morgan Freeman in Oblivion, Morgan Freeman -> (3)Jim Carrey in Bruce Almighty, Jim Carrey -> (4)Cameron Diaz in The Mask
Cameron Diaz->(5) Eddie Murphy in Shrek, Eddie Murphy->(6)Dan Akroid in Trading Places
rules:
not repeating of films or actors and no tv shows JUST FILMS!!, everything else
is this possible to make if so how? I am a completely new to Android App programming.
A way I thought might work if all possible (and let me know if not) was to somehow grab the data from say IMDB picks the (1) and (6) and then the user types in the (2),(3),(4),(6) and the films there in and there is a check to see if its correct and if so great in not guess again.
Pseudo code
if (actor 2 and film 2 = film 1 and actor 1) // or something to that effect.
{
//continue
}
else
{
//try again
}
thanks in advance

Your idea is playing around with Six Degrees of Kevin Baco (see here) -you probably already knew this, this is just for future readers! (hello future readers!-.
There are many services similar to what you offer (example, example 2, example 3, ...) Btw, I just saw that the last example has an Android app as well.
Once said that, your question is kind of vague, isn't it? It is shocking to read "So, guys, I have this idea in mind, how can I do it?". Do what?
The idea is reasonable and you can perfectly implement it. The 'how' is up to you, but that is not part of Android coding.
I'd suggest you to start here, it is an open movie database and they tell you how to gather information from it. Take a look also here and google a little.
You'll learn a lot, good luck :good:

-movie game
I was aware of that game, this is something me and mates play but we have to think of the 6 people
-Basically i want to have 6 image holders (1 and 6) populated with 2 random actors and 2-4 empty and then the user types in answer and then there is a check to see if it is correct.
I am not new to programming just programming for android, I wanted to know the sytanx

Have a look at some tutorials. Those by vogella (Google it) are very good.

connecting to a database
for the purpose of development I downloaded 6 images from IMDB and put them in my 'drawable-hdpi' folder along with a generic place holder image. I want to things to happen. I have 6 ImageView's. 1 and 6 are two actors picked at random and placed the other 4 are the placeholder image how do I:
1. on a button press, change pictures 1 and 6 at random from the 6 six images i uploaded with no repeat error such as will ferrel -> will ferrel. can I create a database with them in?
2. when the user presses the place holder image they can choose or search (from the same database) for an actor and then that image is replaced with the actor picture
thanks in advance

My first app: Celebrity Cleavage Quiz (2 in 1)

Hi all! I have created my first android app. SEARCH "Celebrity Cleavage Quiz" or play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.celebritycleavagequiz (Sorry, I can't post the link)
- Each picture shows a girl and her cleveage in order to make you enjoy as you play.
- There are 204 girls in 17 levels!
- Each girl have 5 clues that will help you to obtain a solution or directly solve it. For each 3 girls that you hit and for each passed level, you will get some money that you will use to get the clues.
- Sexy and farting sounds during the game that will take a smile out of you.
- Store the pictures of the girls that you unlock to see them in a higher resolution and download them.
- Train your mind playing memorizing cleveages (pairs game) selecting between the cleveages of your unlocked girls and have a good time playing on your own or with your friends (2 players). Also, your best times will be recorder so you will be able to see how your mind becomes more agile.
- There are 4 different levels in the cleveage memorizing game, 4x3 (Easy), 5x4 (Normal), 6x5 (Hard) and 7x6 (Expert). Besides, each time you finish a game you will get some money that you will use to get the clues. That way you will unlock every girl for free!
- You will see all your game data in the statistics screen, like unlocked girls, total score, won money, spent moeny, record times in each level and more.
- Also, if you are an eager person, ther is a store where you might find different amounts of money in a more direct way and at very low cost. Or even unlock all the girls at the same time!
- Currently in two languages, english and spanish.
Thanks!
