[Q] Hello! I need a book on Home replacements! - Android Software Development

Hey everyone. Im willing to pay for a book on how to develop home replacement apps step by step. Please anyone. I have all the developer tools and am experienced in coding but not in this subject. i will also gladly donate to anyone who can help me.

I'm in the same boat. Lol. The only source for an example is the sample home app in the sdk. I have made a gridView with the apps so far. But I am inexperienced (only developing since August last year), so I look for all the help I can get.

Yeah the sample app isn't the best. i was hoping i can find the adw home source to look at

I need to hire a developer!

Howdy, the name's Mike. I've got an idea for a comics app that I think has legs. I want to release it for the Android Market, but I'm a graphic designer and I'm absolutely useless when it comes to code. The App Inventor isn't robust enough for my needs. So, I need to hire someone who can take my graphics, concepts and instructions and make it into a real app.
I'm planning this as a commercial application (~1.99/free with ads), so you will be paid well for your work. Preference will be given to developers who can code for multiple platforms (Android/iOS/WP7), have proven development and Android Market experience, enjoy internet comics, and who can meet in person in north Texas.
I've been lurking on XDA since I got my HTC Touch three years ago, and I can't think of anywhere else I'd like to start looking for talented developers. I supply the ideas, the capital and the interface. You supply the rest. Let's make an app. Email me at aggie20x at gmail dot com to get the ball rolling.
[Mods: If this post violates XDA rules, please take it down and email me to let me seek alternatives. I don't want to make any trouble.]
I was wondering a similar thing, but a search doesn't give much.
I didn't want to make a new post, I'm surprised there wasn't a long list of devs for hire already
Please post here if you might be available. I have a rather simple app request.

Let's hear it.
Basically I just want an app for my site (see sig below) which will give the posts in a list, have a tab for comments and a tab for videos (from our YouTube channel).
My idea was it would be a way for people to say thanks (I would charge 99p for it) and it would maybe help fund further progress of the site...

[Dev] Are You Ready For A C.H.A.N.G.E.?

I am still mostly new to developing (since august and only released 1 app in the market) and I have an idea for a home-replacement. I only have sketches of what I would like it to look like. Since I have already posted the pictures and the descriptions of the functions of the UI on my website, I will just give you the name of the website to go to. I am asking for collaboration in making this a reality. Credit will be given to all of those who help, even if it is to tweak the icon. If there are any questions, please ask. You can either PM, email, or post a comment here or on the blog to reach me. Thanks in advance

Brilliant idea. I was searching for slide-out dock or something like "fan". I would like to help you, but i know only BASICS of C++.
If I understand you right, you have in mind sth. like this:
-Objectdock
-"fan" like menu
-Circle dock
P.S.:
I found side-bar like app and it's called Smart taskbar (sidebar). It's good but i don't like full screen look. It would better looking sth. like Objectdock.
I can try to help, I am currently in school for software engineering. My Java skills are decent, but I'm really not familiar with the Android API's so I'm not sure how much help I can offer with my busy schedule. Regardless, send me a PM if you want help.
this looks really nice...I like the fan like menu alot
Try talk to the people/person behind slick ui.
Sent from my Dell Streak
Love the idea! I think it looks like a home replacement that i would actually use and as long as it's stable it would rival launcherpro
I am willing to do some very basic development (i am currently learning java) but I cannot code very well but I can deffinatley give some tips and do LOTS of beta testing.
please PM me when you start the development for this app or sooner.
thanks,
ljbaumer
EDIT: I probably won't be able to help that much with the deving because I haven't worked with the andorid APIs yet because I am still learning but I know all about the SDK and how to use it completely. I also know a lot of overall android info.
Thank you all for replying. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I just recently got the XDA app and I could load up all of my threads. I have made some progress on the home replacement app. My first problem was to get the app to be accepted by the phone as a home replacement. I got that figured out. Then I placed a simple grid view in the app containing all of the application icons from the phone. My current problem is that I don't know how to make each icon launch the application. If anyone knows how to do that, it would help tremendously. Once again, thank you so much for hearing me out

need help to build app

Hey there. I need help to make an app for tablets. Its not going to be exciting, its for productivity. I need to make an app for estimations for inslation companies. I already have the layout and what needs to go into it in a PDF file but do not have the experience to create the app. I need help and will make it worth while. Pm me if you can help. Peace
I suggest starting with an online introductory course in Java programming.
simple app?
Google has a app creation program.I think its called app inventor.its in Google mobile.in the labs area.good luck
Google app inventor doesn't allow tablet apk formation at the moment. At least not that I could work out. Stretching the screen view via a tool method is innefficeint at best and I need a stand alone product for a tablet. Learning Java at the moment is a time consuming effort and I am looking for someone to aid me in my endevour. I will make it worth their time but I need someone who is interested. Maybe I should post this request in the general android forums. Not so much love here yet but thanks for the advice so far.

Money talks.
Try "I'm willing to pay $$$ for a developer to make this app for my company".
State Your requirements:
- Needs to take user input and (do what)
- Needs to output to .PDF format
- ???
You will get much more tailored responses.
get it to me i will do it for you as cheap as possible

[Q] I've Put My App On Kickstarter... Need Genius Marketing Ideas, Help Please!!

Hey guys, long time lurker here...
So basically I'm building a new Android launcher that's designed to make Android more productive and more capable of multitasking... and I decided to do something different and try putting it on Kickstarter to raise some funds! I thought that basically this would prove there was a market for the app, it would build some interest and it would help me to afford to work with other designers and developers. I want to add support for MSOffice file formats but that's something I'm going to have to outsource...
The link to the Kickstarter project can be found here: kickstarter.com/projects/983549908/mulit-window-desktop-launcher-for-android - sorry it's not a live link, I'm new see
So far it's not going well, I asked for £8,000 (it's too much in retrospect, but after tax and Kickstarter/Amazon take their cut it will be a lot less) and so far I have £138 pledged with 23 days to go.
I've sent out countless press releases - even to editors who know me have published things of mine in the past - and had no response. I've tried paying for AdSense and that was a waste of money, and I've posted through every social media outlet I can find... About to try Instagram :-/
My best success so far was posting in the Basic4Android forum where I'm an active member - that's the secret I think, knowing lots of people online and being active. That's my advice to anyone else thinking of doing this! Get active on forums and get known, wish I'd done that more!
Now obviously I'd appreciate any helps with pledges but what I really want is your ideas for marketing and a critique of my video and project page (I think there are areas for improvement). I think that if I could get just one article onto a well-read site then it could potentially snowball... but how can I get noticed?
Has anyone else tried using Kickstarter for an app?
Thanks a lot for your help in advice guys, and I hope you find this useful too. Maybe we can work out what I'm doing wrong and then we've learned how not to raise money for an Android app... :laugh:
I've attached a picture of the app by the way for those interested...
