The Google I/O app was made by Google to help attendees to the conference track which sessions they want to watch and see the entire schedule. I was wondering if it was available as open source since it has some good UI design and usability patterns.

Today is quite a big day to me. After all the work, studies and sleepless nights that I've been through, I've decided to share all that with the community opening the source of Phonebook Sharing. We have been chosen by the Android powered users as well as by Google as one of the ADC's Top 20 Social Networking applications. This application explores and makes use of many many features available by the platform (Android 1.5 / 1.6) as well as custom components/features that the platform does not provide yet, such as ListView pagination. Not just the Android client but also the J2EE server, I've made available quite a few interessting things such as Video Streaming and EJB3 stuff. I've also built a fake server that responds to all the request events made by the android client therefore you will be able to run client/ server and see how the communication goes. I'm still wrapping up the project building some documentation on our Wiki section.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA lot of open source libraries that aid in Android application development have sprung up with time. IMO looking at source code of good projects helps learn the system better, faster and not to mention reduces development time. Is there a recommended list of such projects or if not, can we build such a list? I think it will really be useful to other developers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android App, and I want to provide a free demo and a paid full-version from the Android Market. However, I also want to provide the source code. I don't mind if people want to play with the code and install modified versions on their own devices. However, I don't want to see any free full-version binaries on the web, and a license like the GPL would allow anyone to offer some, probably even making profit that way.
If some people would rather build and deploy the app themselves instead of paying 1-5$, they can go ahead. But a convenient one-click-download button and other people making money from my efforts is not what I want. Is there any pre-existing license I can use for something like that? Furthermore, if I want to start an app as free and open source, but later decide that I want to make money from selling it, is there a FOSS license that allows me to move to the license I'm asking about above later?
Our open source application is quite popular, and we are many developers. The application uses my Android Market account, and I shared the keys with a developer. But if both of us disappear, the application's Market account will be lost, and all users trapped. Giving the keys to all developers is not a solution either, for security reasons.
Is there a foundation (like in Mozilla Foundation or Apache Foundation) that could accept to hold our Android Market account and release new versions in accordance with their own guidelines and our community consensus? There are quite a lot of Open Source foundations, but I could not find any that tackles this particular aspect of Android applications.

I wanted to run a helloworld application with the AOSP and see it in emulator. [ Not through Android SDK setup] I followed the steps in http://source .android .com/source/download.html and compiled successfully the full code from / directory. I could see contacts.apk, camera.apk all applications apk in ~/mydroid/out/target /product /generic/system/app. tried two things. Went to /package/apps folder. Took a helloworld application( helloworld folder which was created in android-sdk), and copied a 'Android.mk' file from Launcher2 folder, kept my new name for application 'LOCAL_ PACKAGE_NAME := helloworld' and placed the folder in packages/app folder and compiled at /. I couldnt see .apk file created for helloworld in ~/mydroid/out/ target/product/ generic /system/app. 2 - I went to Launcher2 folde /package/apps/Launcher2. I changed the package name for Launcher2 in packages/app folder in 'Android,mk' file and compiled at root. I couldnt see a new apk created on the new packaged name( i gave) under ~/mydroid/out/target/product/generic/system/app. I tried several times with changes in activity names, application names in manifest.xml file. Nothing reflects. But it is sure, both helloworld, and change in package name is getting picked up while compiling. I could see intermediate classes getting created. ~/mydroid/out/target/common/ obj/APPS/manifirst_i ntermediates/src/com/ android/mani --> manifirst is like a helloworld which i created and run. ~/mydroid/out/ target/common/obj /APPS /Launcher2_intermediates /src/com/ android/launcher Could anyone please share the steps of compiling a simple Helloworld program in AOSP

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on an open source collection of Android APIs that will be collected into a toolkit. Essentially, this toolkit is intended to ease coding pains for developers by simplifying things such as network operations, file operations, etc..
I already have a bunch of things planned, such as PHP POST and GET operations, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP operations, File management operations (creating files, downloading files, parsing files, etc...). What other kinds of operations do you all think could be simplified or even just want an alternative to?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAs a thesis for my graduation I'm going to start an open source project: My idea is to port a complete set of mathematical libraries to Android, to perform numeric and symbolic operations, in the form of a programmable calculator like matlab or sage. I want to release this project under GPL, because I believe that ideas need to be free to work, but I also know that i will spend a lot of money to buy multiple device to do debug and fine tuning. I thought about selling the prepacked app on the market for 0.99, while giving the source to compile on the site for free. It would be like a small tax on laziness. What do you think? How do you think I could fund this project?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to use some open source code with GPL3. As usual I don't want to open source code for full application.
Now what I understand is if I make two separate process one with my main application code and other as a service or something with Open source library then in that case I have to open source code only for the other one.
Now the question is what is the best way to do so in Android. Suppose My Main App is A Open Source code is B. So A will give some data to B. B will process this and sends data back to A. B may not need to have any UI.
1. Is it possible to install 2 seperate applications / processes from one APK? 2. What is the best way ?Should B be a service? How will be the communication between A and B ? 3. Is it possible to run/call B from A?
