| Posted: 24 May 2016 10:20 AM PDT Hey guys, I'm the author of Redgram, a Reddit client. I posted on here before and got really good response from the community. I was trying to get people aboard and make this app collaborative. I went ahead and created a slack account with dedicated channels for GitHub changes and Travis build messages, and opened issues instead of a to-do list in order to commit code against them. So far we are 3 developers, 2 active and it's still me who can digest major changes or new features since I understand the code the most. The open issues are self-explanatory and can be easily picked. The reason I started this thread before is because I worked on it for a year or so, became slacking and was missing the discussion or support factor from developers/users. I'm asking the same thing again now. FYI, this is going to be the second open source ad-free Reddit client in the market. If anyone is considering to help, then you are either in it for the experience, helping using your expertise or both. Add your email to https://github.com/Redgram/redgram-for-reddit/issues/10 and I will make sure I will add you to both the organization and slack. Thank you! P.S: Also willing to listen to anything negative you have to say! Edit: Some of the Github accounts that are requesting to help had no activity in them at all. You might need the experience but this app assumes you already have some. [link] [comments]  |
| How can I get realtime data stream from Windows PC to Android phone using USB cable? Posted: 24 May 2016 09:33 PM PDT I want to stream real time data from my Windows laptop to my Android phone via my app with USB cable. The case is that I want to make a simple car central computer (Windows) that can stream data wired into a connected Android device. What is the best way to achieve this? [link] [comments]  |

| How much would it cost to get a marketing app? Posted: 24 May 2016 05:26 PM PDT I work for a real-estate investment company that has a large shopping complex (82 stores and 36 dining establishments). How much would an app cost for initial build and maintenance for the complex? Just need it to post updates from individual stores and photos of events. Thanks for the help! [link] [comments]  |

| Need to expose API; new to Android and could use advice! Posted: 24 May 2016 02:13 PM PDT Hi all, I am an intern this summer and it is my job to research how to expose our API so that other devs can use some of app's functionality in their apps. But, I do not know a lick of mobile development. Would bound services extending the Binder class be a good way to implement this? Open to any suggestion/help! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 May 2016 06:47 PM PDT My initial idea is to use either Unity or Ionic for the interface. However, if there are better ways please let me know. And, I still do not know on how to take data from the Linux computer. [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a way to kill the com.android.phone process from code? Posted: 24 May 2016 06:40 PM PDT First of all, you may ask why do I want to kill a system process on my phone. The answer is that I'm using ASUS Fonepad (ME175CG) and after the recent lollipop upgrade (v6.3.9) it has got this pathetic bug in the above process whereby the battery drains continuously and empties in a matter of few hours. I've verified this by checking the battery stats where the Telephony Service app eats the biggest chunk of battery life. Also, when I deactivate the Sim card, the battery drain stops happening, but only when I click yes on a dialog that comes up saying that the com.android.phone process process needs to be killed as it has stopped responding. Now, I'm not inclined to use drastic measures like rooting my tab and installing firmware. Instead, what I want to do is create my own app with a service that listens to this process and if running, just kills it in order to save battery life. My question is how do I do that? I know the basics of Activity, Intent, Service, etc. and I can also handle Android Studio. But I couldn't find any documentation on how to kill a system service from within my App's service. Can you point me to the right direction? edit You may also ask why don't I just disable the Sim card on my tab and keep it that way? The answer is that I don't use the tab for making or receiving calls, but I do use the data plan for Internet. Hence, I just want the phone service to be stopped, but data plan to be active.

| Is it just me or is the udacity "Developing Android Apps" course really hard to follow? Posted: 24 May 2016 02:11 PM PDT Im not a really newbie in Android development. I just wanted to learn more. But the course is going very fast and the teachers are not explaining everything. You often find a Code snippet and ask yourself "where the f*ck is this coming from". No explanation at all... Should I grab a book instead? I know the basics but I maybe want to get a job as an Android dev in the future. [link] [comments]  |
| What is an example of UX you've implemented or seen that stood out to you? Posted: 24 May 2016 02:34 AM PDT Inspired by this post, I'm curious what other little features make a big difference. Things that not enough apps do, or that are easy to skip over. [link] [comments]  |
| Publishing Android App for Someone Else Posted: 24 May 2016 01:43 PM PDT Some of you have more android dev contracts completed than I do. When you upload an android apk for a client no matter if its public on Google play or Private on Google Play via the Biz/GOv/enterprise channels what are some best practices to follow to prevent foul ups?

| [Open Source] MDX - Material Design Explorer Posted: 24 May 2016 01:57 AM PDT Hi everyone. I built an app to explore material design (colors and icons for now) for designers and developers. It is completely open source on https://github.com/erdemorman/mdx You can get it from Google Play Store or you can download the latest APK from Github releases. Here are the screenshots of the app. Libraries used:
Any feedback is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Navigation bar with integrated FAB like button Posted: 24 May 2016 07:02 AM PDT I am curious as to whether or not this is easily implementable. In the linked picture, the right most picture shows the navigation bar with the center button. http://phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Google-Spaces-group-messaging-2.jpg [link] [comments]  |

| Is Eclipse still a viable IDE for building Android apps? Posted: 24 May 2016 10:57 AM PDT I'm well-versed in Java but still have 0 experience with android. I know Android Studio is the best option but it's not available in my region and my slow internet connection hasn't been much help when I tried to find a workaround. Can I still use AS tutorials on Eclipse? One more thing, I had a look at the wiki and it says I need to know XML. Is is enough to know the basics (like syntax and DTD rules) or do I need to go deeper? I'm asking because I was offered a position on a development team based on my coding experience and was given a couple weeks to prepare a simple app as a test/discussion topic for the interview. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
