I know this is off-topic, well not totally off topic. The inventor of the cellphone Marty Cooper was on the recent 60 minutes. I thought it was a great story, well put together and talked about CTIA and Android (eventhough he uses a droid). Just thought I'd share.

I want to start making cellphone apps with Android as first choice but not the only one. I have 10 years of experience with Java, C#, C++ in commercial applications and I know that many things and practices for this applications are not valid for cellphones. Where do I start reading? How do I adapt my way of thinking to this new environment as quickly as posible? I plan to make some money with it sometime in the future as an extra income or a career change maybe, who know.

Is there a replacement keyboard program that will let XT9 be disabled, AND that will let me use the cell phone keypad style for input? I do most of my texting with 1 hand and find the cell phone keypad style easier to use.

I am thinking to use AlarmManager to broadcast an Intent and then a receiver will call requestLocationUpdates() on LocationManager. But I am not sure whether it's guaranteed that the GPS location will be updated when the phone is in sleep and an intent will be broadcasted if I registered a PendingIntent when call requestLocationUpdates()?

View 4 Replies View RelatedApp Inventor for Android is an application originally provided by Google, and now maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
It allows anyone familiar with computer programming to create software applications for the Android operating system (OS). It uses a graphical interface, very similar to Scratch and the StarLogo TNG user interface, that allows users to drag-and-drop visual objects to create an application that can run on the Android system, which runs on many mobile devices.
The application was made available through request on July 12, 2010, and released publicly on December 15, 2010. Google terminated App Inventor on December 31, 2011. The MIT Center for Mobile Learning is now supporting it under the name "MIT App Inventor".
For example, I want to parse the string below:
Tue Sep 28 18:02:24 GMT+08:00 2010
And I use the pattern for the SimpleDateFormat:
new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzzzzzzz yyyy");
But I keep getting the ParseException.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created an app in app inventor and it works, but to understand what I have created I want to do code instead...I have there pages.
1. Page one front cover enter app
2. A control page
3. a settings page.
The settings page is what I am working on now, and I have links to all of the three pages.The settings page in here is a list of values, some we add to and can select on another page, others we select from a fixed list based on the items in a list.eg. I have and English list and a Russian list and Danish list. Each list contains 5 pre determined hardcoded values Value1,2 3 4 and 5, these values are populated from the selected list and saved and then can be used elsewhere.
In app inventor, I use a listpicker to select from the list of 3 languages, the index is used to report the 5 corresponding values English, Danish and Russian are items in language_array..The values arent anywhere as yet as dont know where to put them.
In app inventor I have the languages Tag for each language and on for each value.When I select the langiage with the list picker, it gets the values from the stored tags and displays them in a text field for each value.
English -------> Value 1 English
Value 2 English
Value 3 English
Value 4 English
Value 5 English
Russian -------> Value 1 Russian
Value 2 Russian
Value 3 Russian
Value 4 Russian
Value 5 Russian
Danish -------> Value 1 Danish
Value 2 Danish
Value 3 Danish
Value 4 Danish
Value 5 Danish
these values are stored in tinyDB with a tag.I then recall stored tag Value 1 into a command.for now I would be happy if I can create the list in eclipse and recall these value, storing them on and recalling them will come later.I have tried spinner, alert dialog but keep getting various errors.
I'm using App Inventor to develop a small game as Mole Bash.
The tutorial I'm following shows me how to make an Image Sprite appear on random locations given a certain amount of time.
I'd like to give the Image Sprite a list of 9 coordinates where he should position the image after the given amount of time in a random way.
So, I believe it should go something like this:
Procedure - Moveto - x1 OR x2 OR x3 AND y1 OR y2 OR y3
I can't seem to get the logic command OR on this procedure, since it will only let me give a min and max number for both x and y.
