I started developing in early 80's... With a Vic20, at first, then with a c64 (and Amiga, and PC and so on...). At the beginning I neither had a casset driver, nor a disk driver. I used to copy code from magazines, debug it, play for a few minutes and... turn off my computer (just like a...

I just want to propose my brand new free app, Ascii Art Revolution, for Android. You can use it to convert your gallery images into ascii art, and share the created image over the social networks. If you are interested... just give it a look... Thank you! Here is the link...

Re: App development app crashing Have you tried with adb shell/logcat while running your app? Maybe it can be useful.

Hi, I would like to share my first Android App. It's name is *Toonifier*; it let you take a photo and apply it a cortoon fx, choosing between three different filter (so far): standard, b&w and ink. You can also try settings/tunings in order to achieve a better result. And, if you like your...

So far I'm using the standard AdMob, without Mediation. But my app is really too young, and I have too few downloads and impressions. I received a mail from AdBuddiz, which promised really good opportunities. But I think I'll wait. Just in case one day an app of mine will have enough downloads...

Well... you have to consider that building an app similar to Twitter can be a relatively simple task... but just from the point of view of code writing. The real challenge is to think about an infrastructure that can easily scale as the number of users grows, keeping the app fast enough. I still...

I'm trying to write my first apps using Cordova and, more specifically, IonicFramework. My former experiences are most based on web applications development (also if I did, in the past, some little works with ObjectiveC). So i feel more comfortable with HTML5/Javascript (AngularJS). And, when I...

Re: Help with application editing Two things: be sure that you renamed the file in the right way. I had a look at the wiki page about translation, and it said that the filename must be translation_<lang>_override.txt, where <lang> is the ISO 639-1 code (the one using two letters): then, i.e...

You said you and your friend are developers. Probably you already have built something for desktop, or web applications. There are some ideas/projects you already made that can be "translated" in a mobile app? This can help you to make less work in finding new ideas and during the planning tasks.

Re: I'm an Aspiring Android Developer and have I have a question! I believe the real question is: do I want to create a really killing app with hundred of thousands of downloads, or I just want to test, improve and show my skills? It is not sure that you will reach both goals in the same way...

Just downloaded and tried it! It's really an amazing app. I'm experimenting myself in development of images manipulation apps, and, have to say it, the transformation in low poly patterns gives really a nice result. Great!

Background services (but also foreground services) can be killed by Android when it is running with poor memory. Some services can even be restarted automatically, depending on how they have been written. Some more restrictive differences on services and memory management have been introduced...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I'm an Android & IOS dev. Nice to meet you here.

You can always build an hybrid app (a web app with a native webview and that can use, through plugins, some native functions of your device). If you are skilled in web development (HTML/Javascript), it will be quite easy. An example of frameworks you can use is Cordova, or IonicFramework (which...

You can use WebSockets. In this way you can send messages from a server. When the device/s receive it, it will perform the actions provided in your code.
