Android :: Demand For IPhone App Ported To Android?
Oct 28, 2010
Although not really a programming question I believe many developers would have come across this and therefore give the best answer.Currently I am developing an App for iPhone for the organisation I work for. Its close to release and there is heaps of interest when I present it but the occasional question comes up am I going to port it to Android. My answer is I would like to but according to web stats more than 90% of phones hitting our website are iPhones and the other 10% is declining (probably people migrating away from Blackberry, last count was 98% was iOS)Now if you read the media many people would like you to believe that its a split market between Android and iPhone but this might be just in the U.S where the single carrier for the iPhone has limited its consumer uptake because all the information available to us (at least in my organisation) states otherwise.
I was curious to hear from other people who have looked into these stats both inside and outside the U.S because when I tell the person asking that there is no demand they dismiss it and say its growing, once again contradicting the stats available for our organisation.I am really interested in Android dev so don't really want to hear that I should just make it to give people an alternative, it's hard to justify to management that I should spend their money to deliver content to 5% of our market. Currently it makes more sense to make a cut down web App rather than an Android App.

I'm looking for a way to easily port content driven applications from one mobile platform to another. Currently HTML5+js seems to be the only language that can be easily reused.Can you share your experience? I'm looking for a way to go forward.

There is a really good sticky application out there for the ipod touch called "Stick it". Basically you enter the application and make stickies on a board then save it. It then gets imported as a jpg then you add the jpg to your lockscreen.I was wondering if there is anything like this on the market? I dont wanna go through over 20 sticky apps looking for one. Or if you can port it to the android? I am running a HTC Hero for Sprint.

I live in Europe and I hate that Samsung and Verizon have on-demand TV services and I don't! I have a HTC Hero and I was wondering if there are any on-demand TV &/or Film services to download? Please, I love watching movies and shows on planes or while commuting, even if there was an online APK for the Samsung service.

Do you have to rip DVD's to watch a movie on say, the Droid Eris? Why isn't anyone making the android phones compatible with the Amazon Video On Demand Marketplace where you could rent and purchase movies, then watch just like our own form of iTunes? I'm a newbie, so if this question is out of left field and already easily addressed. Seems kinda crazy they make the phone work with the MP3 section of Amazon and not the video!

For years I was a fan of Pandora but hate not being able to listen to things on demand. I recently subscribed to Rdio.com and thought it was a deal for $10 a month. Now I'm hearing about MOG that has the same monthly fee. Has anyone out there tried both that can give me a review of the differences and which one they think is superior?

In my activities onCreate method I start listening for location updates as follows: locationManager. requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 5000, 0, myLocationListener); Previously I used 60,000 ms instead of 5,000 ms. The problem is that I have trouble getting the first update.public void onLocationChanged(Location location){ if (location != null){ lastlocation = location;

I am building a android aplication which will be consuming a json file from the internet. This json file contains a list of news from a particular website. Each json object contains information such like title, summary, descripition and web links for the news thumbnail and the original image.
I will be displaying in a listview three information: the news thumbnail, the title and the summary. Here resides my problem. I dont want to load all thumbnails from the internet if they wont be displayed. What I am trying to say is that why download a thumbnail from the 30th news if the user wont scroll down the image. So, i will, initially only download the thumnails from those news that are being displayed in the screen and when the user scrolls down to see more news, as soon as the list item appers to the screen i want to download the image and then display.
Is there a way to achieve this? Is it possible to find out if the list item is on the screen? I have been searching all over the internet for a solution for this but i am running out of ideas.

Ever since I got unlimited data plan my battery life reduced by 60%. Before I would charge my phone once in 3-4 days, with 3g on all the time I could barely go through one day.
"Data On Demand allows you to save battery by turning off your (2G/3G-) data connection manually or automatically if your device goes to standby-mode (display turns black)."
The best features of this prog is that when u put it on auto mode it will only disable 3G when ur phone goes to standby mode thus saving u a lot of battery.

I just ported the 2.1 gallery over to my moto droid (which is awesome btw). But now it shows that I have 2 galleries installed when i open my launcher.I just cant figure out how to delete the 2.0.1 version.When I go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, all that is there is the 2.1 version, even after I filter to "all".

No.1) Angry Birds very fun sick ass game. Huge hit on iOS, am pretty sure you heard of it. They said its coming to android but no one knows the date. Hopefully this month.
No.2) Minigore- Another huge hit on iOS, this is my second favorite game. Its super fun, addicting, funny and just pure awesome.
No.3) Plants vs Zombies- This is the most fun and challenging game on iOS in my opinion. Its fun, deep, creative, clever and freakin rocks. The best game on any mobile platform period. don't chew my head off people it's just my opinion.
This game is so fun my buddy had to break up with his long times girlfriend because she didn't cook or clean anymore all she wants to do is play plants vs zombies. Seriously.If these games can be ported over to android it would be sweet. There's just not enough games like these for android their are a few thats great but adding these three i think would make a lot of android phone owners happy, i know i would. I wouldn't need this ipod anymore for sure. Well there you have it people, this is just my opinion let me know what you think?

I have an HP Touchpad and a Galaxy Nexus, both devices with ICS and good quality screens - but I am looking for games and stuff I can play on them.
I am looking for high quality games, that has both good content and good graphics.
I have games such as Anomaly HD, World Of Goo, Edge, Dungeon Defenders, Osmos HD, Backstab HD. I also heard that portal, counter strike and GTA 3 was ported.
Is there any other good ports? Or high quality games.

I'm just getting started with mobile development, and after considerable searching I'm still confused about sending a message from my iPhone to another or an Android.For instance, in building a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game, if I want to notify the other phone of a move, what is the best way to do so? Wifi, bluetooth, 3G? And how? Many methods seem to point to communicating through a web server, but I'd rather send them directly from phone to phone if possible.

It changes to performance. I am not sure if it is changing when I powercycle or if it is just random.

When a group message is sent between my co-workers, who are all iphone users, and myself (Note 3), one person in the exchange does not receive the text. This is not the common iMessage issue that was plaguing me when I made the switch from Apple to Android. This is specifically affecting one iphone user. When I send her a text individually it is not a problem. The other iPhone users don't have a problem receiving or sending to me.

I searched around on xda and this forum today without much luck. 2.2 ported keyboards all seem to require root, which I do not have.Anyone have info or a link for a ported keyboard like the DX multi touch? That's what I was using prior to the update.

Ported over from AT&T on Tuesday and as of today I'm not able to send or receive all texts. I had a friend sit right next to me who has AT&T and we exchanged texts with some coming through on the Evo and some simply never did. Same thing when sending from the Evo. Does anyone know what is causing this? I have had other friends tell me they text and I never got it.

I've always wondered, why hasn't the HTC sense Launcher (Rosie) ever been ported to other devices, from other companies, without means of a ROM port? After all, a vast majority of other launchers have been ported - Touchwiz, Xperia eDream, LG UI, Pantech UI... The list goes on really.
So why no love for Sense? I've never heard of any version of Sense ever being ported. Is the underlying framework stuff too complicated or something?

I've been trying to port a rom ovef to my cdma Xperia play from a gsm Xperia play I cannot find what files need replaced to get service for my cdma port attempt I've swapped out my baseband files the rild file I've switched out the (here's the weird part) baseband files and both framework-res.apk and framework. Jar I get the full working service but I have to litereally tear apart the port rom and basically make it a stock rom so its not really a port rom if I have nothing from the port rom. I'm confused and cant seem to get service or any answer on the files needed to swap I knobthe build.prop is built correctly

I have been trying to port cwm5 to my low-end samsung phone.
After a few days of effort, I managed to compile a half-working cwm:Can be flashed by odin1.85
Boots successfully
All keys work, including volume up/down and power
Adb works, I can now mount /system and root my device
Something wrong with display, screen blurred and messed when boot into cwm
Partitions not correctly auto-mounted,
Code:
adb shell mount -a
said: [code]....
3. Can't reboot to android system
I guess it has something to do with MSC partition not mounted, but not sure.
