Android : Need Good Sources For Icons - Artwork Used In Application?
Mar 6, 2010
Has anyone got a good source for icons that can be used in an application?
I'm thinking of things like pushpins, scope sights, house, car, shop, and other small graphics you might overlay on a map or picture.
Most people just rip them off from the web, but I'm looking for an honest source.
A while ago, I found a website marketplace where you could commission stuff from graphic artists. Does anyone have any links for these? The sort of thing I mean is like this: http://www.graphicster.com/Default.aspx (But those guys haven't got critical mass yet). Or these guys http://www.crowdspring.com/how-it-works/ (but they seem a bit high end).

Where do people obtain or buy all the apps that are supposed to be out for these phones? I did some Google searches & more & am still a bit puzzled. Those of us past 30 and don't spend half our lives on line can get a little puzzled.
What are some good and reliable sources for apps? I can't see wanting more than a few as I view it as a phone & occasional internet tool. A few games, widgets and the like might be good, too.

Is there anyway to bypass 'Unknown sources' setting without having the application actually downloadable in the market? Signing up for the market is fine but I do not want the application actually available via the market due to partner restrictions. However, installation should be smooth without requiring the user to allow installation of application from non-market applications.

Is there a way to manage the audio levels through an app? Or is it more dependent on the phone's built in capabilities? Right now at work I listen to a skype audio call from my house (for security) at a very low volume and then at a higher level I listen to music or podcasts, both sources going at the same time. When my dog goes nuts, the door is knocked on, or (in theory) if someone busted down my door, I notice the change in volume and sound, turn off my local media, and focus on what I'm hearing until the drama passes.
I ask because I would like to continue this setup when not at work, like say while running, where I again have earphones in and am normally listening to audio content. I would like to be able to have two pieces of audio: music combined with a skype stream or normal phone call, going at the same time like at work. So is there a way to have two sources going at the same time, with the volume of each independently adjustable? Is this an app thing or a phone thing? Phone will be Sprint Hero.

I know that this is probably somewhere else but I am unable to find it. But I am looking for an App that will give me a todo list on a daily basis. What I would like to do is add to-do's several days in advance, and each day have it compounded and then as I complete tasks I can remove them from the list and from day to day it would keep adding to the uncompleted tasks from the day before.

Many of us have expressed a desire for a proper Memo application on Android, similar in functionality to the Palm OS. Necessary features include: support for multiple memos, quick access to view and edit multiple memos, ability to organize memos into categories or with tags, ability to search through all memos at once, ability to synchronize memos with desktop and/or the cloud. This poll is designed to show potential developers that there is a market for such an app.

Can anyone recommend a good footy app, aimed specifically at the English premier league? I already have FotMob 4.0 but the interface is a little awkward in that there is not enough room to view the RSS feed, the menu part of the screen takes up too much real estate and there doesn't appear to be any way to get rid of it.

Looking for a good email app for my Samsung Epic (Galaxy S). It is essential that I not have to have a Gmail account to download it as I have problems once I setup Gmail. I need POP3 and IMAP, and I have multiple accounts. The only thing I see by searching is K-9. I would appreciate any user experiences with the app, and I am open to other alternatives.

I don't like the stock calender for the Droid 2 and am wondering if anyone can recommend a good calender app. I have an iPod touch and I like the calender on there (bright, bubbly, and easier to see from the monthly view when you have an event on a specific day).

I'm a new Android developer and I just released a free, open source tipping calculator app called Tippy Tipper.I created this app to get myself familiar with Android and to hopefully provide a good example app for other new developers to look at.Now that I've overcome the challenges of learning how to program, test and release my Android app, I've come across a new challenge: marketing!What are some good ways to promote my app to the Android community? Can anyone with some experience talk about how they did this successfully with their own app?

Does anyone know of a good science/space news application (with widget would be great)?
I figured I would have plenty to pick from but haven't found anything good. I've found some good general news applications but the science sections have been rather slim on articles.
I love hearing the latest science and space news and just want something that will give me plenty to look at in a nice and pleasant way. Something similar that works similar to the Tech Buzz widget would be great.

We have a web application and we've built phone applications (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry) to be companions to the site. The usual workflow is that an existing user of the site gets a phone app and then plugs their existing credentials into the phone app and they are off and running, but more often now we are seeing folks who are downloading the app and then (and this should not surprise anyone) don't read the help screen that explains they need to go and get credentials at the web site and therefore cannot connect to the application which does require registration to manage their content. This is a giant usability fail condition.
So we know that we need to put user registration workflows on the phone app. Other than the obvious solution of duplicating our registration page on the mobile, does anyone know of a better identity solution for the phone? For example, on the desktop we also use Facebook Connect as an identity server and the users love it. I'm looking for something that simple that we can implement across the major smartphone platforms.
Clarifying note: I should add here that this registration mechanism is likely to; and it would be desirable if it did, go hand in hand with a general identity/authorization mechanism such as the Facebook mechanism mentioned below. One other place I'm poking around is to see whether there's an openId solution that does not require a browser to pop up.

I'm making an ecommerce application on Android and, as it is my first serious project, I'm trying to figure out beforehand the best approach to do this.The application talks to a web service (magento api, meaning soap or xml rpc unfortunately) and gets all the content on the phone (product categories, product details, user credentials etc.). I think it should do lazy loading or something like that.
So, I was thinking to keep the user credentials in a custom Object which will be kept in a SharedPreferences so that every Activity cand easily access it. I'll use a couple of ListViews to show the content and AsyncTask to fetch the data needed. Should I keep all the data in memory in objects or should I use some sort of cache or a local database? Also, I'm planning to use a HashMap with SoftReferences to hold the bitmaps I am downloading. But wouldn't this eat a lot of memory?How cand all the activities have access to all these objects (ecommerce basket etc.)? I'm thinking of passing them using Intents but this doesn't seem right to me. Can SharedPreferences be used for a lot of objects and are there any concurrency issues?
Any pointers would be really appreciated. What are some good guidelines? What classes should I look into? Do you know of any resources on the Internet for me to check out?

Does anyone know if there is a way to rename the icons/shortcuts for apps? Do these icons reside in a folder within root somewhere? I wonder if renaming the icons/shortcuts would allow us to reorganize the way they are sorted in the app tray (since it is alphabetic).

I have an application with two activities and I'd like to be able to have two icons appear in the launcher, each launching the respective activity within the app.Specifically, I want one icon to launch my main app, and another icon to launch my settings activity. Is this possible?This creates two launcher icons, but they both run my main app instead of the second icon running my settings app. I've tried just having the launcher category but then I don't get an icon so it looks like I need the main action as well.Is this the right approach or should I be declaring two applications in the manifest instead?
