New notes can be added at the top of the main screen or use your phones menu to Add a new note, Search previous notes, add a labels and establish your settings.
In Settings you can change things like the color of the notepad, font, font size, set up reminders, export and import notes to/from your SD card and more.

I'm considering getting a new mobile device, and this will definitely influence my decision about whether to go Android or Windows 7 (mobile).
I really like onenote because I can handwrite my notes- and so i remember them better than when I type them. I can also select my text with the lasso (or even individual strokes with a click!) and move it around, in case I don't leave enough room or something.
Anyway, I'm looking for an app for android that lets me take advantage of a stylus and take notes in multiple colors, and be able to select and move/resize my text. I'd LIKE (but could do without) to be able to sync to my desktop and add pictures or text or whatever- basically what i can do with onenote. However, I haven't found a comprehensive application for android, and I may go with the windows device, just so that I can use onenote (but the performance scares me a bit- android is really snappy!). I wouldn't mind paying for the app. <$100-150
I already checked out the web apps version of onenote, but it doesn't do handwriting.
Anyone know if an app like this exists, or is in development?

There are many note taking apps but I am looking for one that e-mails me the note to my own gmail account as soon as the note is created.
Some note taking apps have this feature. For example, AK Notepad has a "share" button that allows you to open up gmail and e-mail the contents of the note to anyone. This is pretty much what I want but the problem with AK Notepad is that to send myself the note I need to do the following:
1. Create the note
2. Select menu
3. Select "Share"
4. Scroll to "gmail"
5. Gmail pops open - enter in contact information (in my case it would be username+notes@gmail.com)
6. Send e-mail.
I want an app that essentially skips steps 2-6. I want it so that AS SOON as a note is written it is automatically sent to my gmail as an email.

This is not meant to be specifically about particular apps for Android, but the state of note-taking & Android in general (though I suppose I do hope to get some guidance in finding just the right app), so if a Mod feels this should be in the Apps forum instead, I understand.
There are lots of note-taking apps in the Market, and I imagine we are all familiar with the most popular (NoteEverything, Ak Notepad, Springpad, Evernote, 3banana/Catch) and a search for "note" on AppBrain finds almost 3000 results.
I myself have been looking for the "holy grail" of note taking & syncing between Android and my PC, and unless I've missed something we seem to not yet have one best note "ecosystem" for Android.
To be clear, this is what I personally consider the perfect note ecosystem. Others may disagree.
1. Create and Edit text notes on the Android device. (capturing photo notes, QR codes, and voice notes are not necessary, but certainly awesome-sauce on top).
2. Arrange notes in separate "notebooks" (or folders) within the app.
3. Easily sync the notes to my PC so that they remain in their separate notebooks (folders), and so that I can edit them easily on my PC either in a different program, or a program specific to the Android app. This syncing does not need to have a step in the "cloud" (I prefer keeping things on my PC anyway) but it wouldn't hurt.
So far on my phone I've been using NoteEverything and Catch (formerly 3Banana).
NoteEverything (NE) lets me organize my notes in folders and sub-folders (notebooks) but does not sync to the cloud or a PC. NE does let you import and export, but when you export it does not export the notes in their folders, but rather one entire batch of .txt files. Then you have to copy those files to your PC (I have been using my USB cable, and MS SyncToy). I have considered using the DropBox app to keep NE notes synced to my PC, but it still requires me to export and import manually. Not the same as syncing. (For the record, I am using the FREE version of NE).
Catch/3Banana lets me sync my notes, but only to the web/cloud. There is no desktop client from Catch to sync to my PC. I want to be able to access those notes when offline (with my laptop). Also, Catch does not use folders/notebooks, but # hash tags instead (which i don't care for. Not the way my brain organizes).
The official Evernote app in the Market does NOT allow offline access to notes, and there is a whole snafu where notes created using Rich text (or other formatting) elsewhere and then synced to EN can only be appended not edited. EN does have notebooks however, and i can sync it to my desktop EN client. EN does have a new Beta that was just released through their web site that allows offline notes, but I haven't tried it yet, and it has its own problems so far (as it's still in Beta).
Springpad is more like Catch, you can sync it online, but has no desktop PC client for offline use.
GDocs is an app that will let you open and edit your Google Docs files, but when I used it it seemed kind of buggy and hard to use well.
Docs 2 Go is great if you want to pay for it (i have) but again the problem is syncing with the desktop. I suppose this could be done with DropBox. Not sure how well this satisfies my requirement of notebooks/folders, nor how "slick" an implementation this would be.
Those are the only note apps I've tried so far, so it's entirely likely I've missed one that will do what I want, but the trick seems to be getting it on to the PC.
Evernote would be the best option so far if it had offline notes on the phone. Perhaps when the new version is out of Beta that will be the best bet, however when it comes to a desktop client, while I do use EN at work (and a portable version on my USB stick) on my PC I use (and swear by, not at) MS OneNote.
MS OneNote is amazing. I wish the Evernote desktop client had the options and tools of OneNote, but it doesn't. OneNote, can sync (or import/export) with the new online version of OneNote, but there is currently no Android app for OneNote.
So there's the whole thing, and now I'd like to know what others think of the Android/PC Note-taking ecosystem. Is a unified system with all the bells and whistles possible? Does it already exist and I've missed it?
What are your methods for keeping notes synced not just with the cloud, but to your PC?

I have tried a lot of notes apps, but all of the widgets are just single icon space widgets. I would like a full screen widget for simple notes. Anyone know of a good one? This is not for taking notes at like school, but for quick reminders, etc.

When you first tell google now to take a "note to self", it prompts you if you want to use google keep or evernote. How can I change the voice app which is used? I initially choose google keep, but I want to try evernote.

Looking for a notepad, which displays notes on the home screen one by one. So instead having when tiny little sticky note icon, you have one big stick note and flick left or right to scroll back on forth through your notepad. Imagine the HTC SMS Widget but instead of flicking through your text messages you are flicking thorough Notes.Does such a app/widget exist?

Are there any apps that would allow me to write a message, convert it to a QR code, then save that graphic to the phone, or even share it via email? Bar scanner is great for sharing links as QR codes, but a notepad I could type in would be cooler.

I'm looking for a notepad app that, well, looks like an actual notepad. I'm currently using AK Notepad cu z I like how the notes are written on note looking paper, but when you open up the application, all the titles of your notes are just displayed in a black screen. I'm kinda looking for an app, like let's say I put: "stuff to buy," I want the title to also be written on notepad paper, and then when I click on it, the info of my notes will also be written on notepad paper.

I recently started working at a used video game store and have been noticing a bunch of games that I'd like to buy down the road. The only problem is, I see so many that they're easy to forget. I don't really want to pull my phone out and have to scroll through my apps to find Ever note or something to be able to take a name down during work, so I'm looking for something a little specific. If I could have an app that allows a widget on one of my home screens that displays my text and a quick tap of it would allow me to edit it, that would be great. Same goes for looking at the hours that I work and taking them down. It would all be quick and sloppy (like grabbing a piece of scrap paper and noting something) but I could have it cluttering my home screen so I would remember to sort it all out when I get home. Does such an app exist?

I used to love my Palm software, the memo pad /notepad application because I could password protect memos and then they wouldn't even be visible if someone else got my phone. Anyone know of a good notepad/memo app that has the same? Not one that needs internet connection to use, but one that can be easily synced to my computer?

I have an activity that calls the
CODE:.........
I would like to add a button to the notes_row.xml that displays at the bottom of the screen "on top of" the actual notes_row allowing the user to still scroll through the list but hit the button if they want. Every time I try to change the layout of notes_row, I get the button on each item in the list. I am pretty new to Android and I think I need to inflate the button somehow so that it is layered in front of the list but doesn't impede the list, how do I go about doing that?

For sometime, I've been using GDocs Notepad. The good thing about GDocs is it sync's with a designated folder Google Docs.
Lately, I've been having the following problems with this: Getting "Error - Couldn't Sync" upload errors
After numerous problems of creating and editing my notes on the computer to try to resolve the issues, I get HTML gobbledygook each time I sync back to the phone.
Here's a picture of the HTML gobbledygook that's ruining my notes: http://i.imgur.com/M9yGN.jpg
I get the same code both on my phone in my GDocs App. The above picture is when I then sync'd it back into Google Docs. This HTML gobbledygook comes after a "successful sync" message.
I'm using the HTC Hero - CDMA - Sprint - Android 2.1. Although I'm not sure if it's the phone or the App.

In windows text files are displayed with notepad icon. When we double click the particular file it opens the notepad and displays the file. Like that I need to open the file from the download folder in android. I have used the intent-filter for register my ics files mime type. When I select the file in the download folder it just opens my application only. At that time I need to open / read the selected file. How to do this?

Something where I can physically write things out with my finger and erase them? Maybe a widget that is something like a big sticky note that you can just write on? Does such a thing exist?

I'm really hoping someone here has seen something like this. I'm essentially looking for a notepad app for the Android. But there is a trick to this. I want the notes to be saved and synced as accessible documents on GoogleDocs so that I can edit them on my Mac. On the Android, this should be a simple notebook / notepad app.

I'm looking for a good notepad/memo application that a) can sync between Hero and computer (i.e. doesn't have to sync to the internet, although if that's an option too that's OK) b) I can somehow get all my notes from Outlook in there (so I guess it should be .csv compatible?) and c) privacy option (password protection) - like the good old Palm Treo - you can mark it private, and it gets hidden, and only shows up if you type in the password. Palm users will know what I mean. Is there such an app out there?

I'm trying to run the Android Notepadv3 app on the Motorola Droid. When I am creating a new note, if I rotate my phone so that the view should switch to horizontal, or if I open it up so the keyboard is exposed, the app freezes and crashes.
I haven't modified the program in anyway from Exercise 3 solution (http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html). Any ideas why this is happening?
