does this help speed up getting andoid on our nice lil phones? discuss
its always been open source bud (or atleast planned).... that was what was the big deal with it
Yes, but I believe the buzz is that the actual code is available for us to edit, today. And yes, this means better drivers for getting our devices to work with android.

the site is new yes but android was always open source.... google just finally released the code for it... the development kit has always been out there and android and the open handset alliance has known its been ported (or atleast mostly) to some phones already.... So to make myself more clearly it has always been open source, but with the release of the code it will be easier on developers

that guy phrased it right
Yay... the source to an open source os... big news
Hey lovely community !:laugh:
so guys after the "fight" in the [DEV] thread about developing CM 10.x ...
The thread got closed ! So whats now ?
Will shaaaaan or any other DEV's going on working on this or not ?
I hope you get the the things in the right way ... :highfive:
LOVE YOU <3
Let's forget about CM for a while. Shaan from the first time is speaking for his Samsung Galaxy S Advance and he's got some problem too. Even if he success build the CM for his device, we need someone to port it into GS 3 Mini, so we're far from fully workng CM. So let's wait oliver and the other who really concern about our device GS 3 Mini.
Hey!
Sincerly from my opinion that "fight" was really child`ish. I didnt make a backgroung check on Mac and i dont care what he did in the past as long as he can make something viable for our phones. We can all be "condemned" for not folowing the GNU licence agrement at some point. Anyway its bad that we lost a DEV because some ppl have pride. Afaik the licence doesnt obligate anyone to share, it give you the right to share.
PS: English is not my native language so dont flame about my speling mistake.
PS2: This is just my opinion so take it as is.
Really upset to see that the devellopers where almost done with the first operationnelle version and now everything is gone due to personal ego's!
Unfortunatly I do not have developer skills

I'm very unhappy to hear this but ok ...so we have to wait now
But I'm also an owner of the Galaxy Ace device and if I remember rightly there were a lot of Problems too with Maclaw ... but in anyways he is a good Dev.
Enjoy your week!
And sorry for my english ...

As a matter of fact he did on his webpage, but he removed it because the thread got closed meaning he's stopped the development.
Yes he had pictures with S3 mini booting CM 10 on his website.
Regarding the GNU-GPL licence...well after taking a closer look and reading carefuly i can say I was wrong and u was right. My appologies.
Anyway we could of given him some time .... maibe he whould of shared it. IDK.
Here is the passage from the GNU-GPL licence to make everything clear to everyone :
"When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

Well. He isn't new to xda. He should have followed the rules.
As i already said in the thread, i had no problems if he shared the source when he released the rom. But then, there was no use ot the thread!
If he didn't want to share the source before releasing the rom, he shouldn't have had made that thread in the first place. If he did create the thread, it means he was seeking attention.
Also, did he or did he not ask for donation, before even releasing a single build?
I have seen his ways. That's why i resented.
Also, if he is a real dev, such petty things shouldn't stop him from contributing to the community!

hi shaaan....i saw that you are from galaxy s advance (same hardware of galaxy s3 mini).....in this evening i will re-start develop from cm10 and stop kernel develop.....(hope that i don't must work)...tomorrow i have 4 days free and i will spend to develop cm10. As i can see Oliver did a great work so i will start from that sources and every change i will publish on his repository. anyway....can you start doing some modifies with your work? The point is this: maclaw after a first compilation had various things working SO he must did something really simple.....such as changing something in BoardConfig.mk. After searching some i founded that we are missing something in this file for RIL problems that can work for our devices (start from there it is the main problem for now). add these in your boardconfig and see if work ( i am at work now and i can't test )

Introduction
Hey guys. I'm working on an Android application for XDATV. We've never really featured a fully functional application on XDATV before. I thought it was high time we did that.
Noter is a note taking application. It is a good representation of several basic Anrdoid APIs.
source & download
Subversion Repository: http://xda-adk.googlecode.com
Project Checkout: svn checkout http://xda-adk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/EclipseProjects/xdatv-noter
Image of app: http://i50.tinypic.com/qs8ro8.png
App download: https://code.google.com/p/xda-adk/downloads/detail?name=XDATVNoter.apk
goals
Demonstrate proper coding style and development.
Introduce n00bs to app development.
Make an expandable single-class app which will have the ability to integrate into future projects.
Questions and Contributions
If you have a question, please ask. I am in no way, shape, or form an Android app development expert. I do java more than anything else, not so much with Android. If you've got something to contribute, please do! If you spot a problem in the code, then let me know and I'll give you credit on the SVN Commit.
I think this is an awesome idea. Many of the developers here don't know the Android framework but have worked with lots of C based languages, so picking up Java (if we need to) is not that big a deal. Hopefully this will be the kind of thing that we can follow and learn the OS and framework as we go along. I know it's ideal for me, being a 20 years Windows developer.

Yeah! That's the idea. Once the video is released I will publish it in the OP as well. I hope its understandable. If not, that's why we have this thread available.
The onclick view thing is handy:good:
hi adam! In the title of the video you mentioned testing, which i missed a little in the video. what methods or tools do you use for unit testing and stuff?
I'm sorry to clog up this thread with a post about help, but I couldn't find a thread for the series for tutorials Adam released about a year ago.
At around 8:34 in part one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=P...=31cxmLN09ss&feature=player_detailpage#t=513s), Adam adds a button to his test-app thing. It will not let me do this. It shows a no symbol over my cursor when I drag it over the display. I selected the .xml through res and layout just like he did. Only different thing I can tell I am doing is using 4.0 API instead of 2.3.
I have no experience with coding or doing work with Android so I apologize for any common mistakes.

Don't forget to close your output stream; probably more dangerous than forgetting to close an input stream if anything's buffered. Also it's maybe stylistic, but I much prefer Reader/Writer for textual data. If you like System.out style, you can do:
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_APPEND)));
Really great job Adam. I'm going to watch a second time tint and build the app along with the video, you have some points that are helpful that I hadn't thought of before.
Edit:
Adam, I just watched and built along with the video. What action did you do at 15:24, I can see you did something called Refactor, but I'm not familiar with it. Can you explain what it does and why you did it? Thank you!!!

I just moved some code into methods and changed some names. Refactoring means renaming or moving or a number of other operations. Basically, you clean things up with a refactoring. Refactoring is an operation the IDE does safely so when methods or variables move, all the calls point at the newly refactored method or variable.

Sweet tutorial! Will be using this as starting point for the app I want to develop. Quick issue though. When I first implement the OnClickListener, it has an error with 56 fixes available, the top two being imports. Which one of these do I pick? I see you chose something from a dropdown, but the video sped up and I can't see which one it was.

There are 2 common OnClickListener classes like you say, one of them is probably View.OnClickListener and the other DialogInterface.OnClickListener. Use the View.OnClickListener any time that you are attaching it to a widget in your normal layout. Use the DialogInterface.OnClickListnener any time you have created an AlertDialog and are listening to one of its buttons.
Sweet, thank you! :good:

Hello all,
During my studies I am designing a project involving a LEGO Mindstorms "Robot" and an accompanying Android app. I would like to send commands to the Mindstorms unit using Bluetooth. I know this is possible as while trialing some ideas in the MIT App Inventor I discovered Mindstorms command blocks.
I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. I did do some searching around Google for a way to do this, yet I found nothing as of yet. I do not need a full script, just a link to the API/API Commands.
Many Thanks,
-James
You could have a look at the Catroid project. It's an open-source Scratch port for Android which allows you to enable NXT support in the settings.
Maybe you can find some useful information in its code.
Github: https://github.com/catrobat/catroid
Especially this part of the repo might be interesting: https://github.com/Catrobat/Catroid/tree/master/catroid/src/org/catrobat/catroid/legonxt

Welcome and thanks.
Hi,
I really enjoy playing flappy birds but I wanted to tweak it a little bit for my own use. Does anyone have or know where I can get the source code from? I'd be very grateful if someone could help me as I'd like to play around with it.
Thank you,
Daniel
I highly doubt anyone besides the developer has Flappy Bird source code... That game was taken off the market by the developer, so even he might not have it anymore. But back to the question, no one is going to give you source code to a game that makes somewhere around $5,000 daily.

First of all, of course the developer has the source code.. why would he delete it? That's irrelevant though.
Second of all, there have been countless clones made so people have already developed it (I've found plenty javascript, coco2ds etc. versions of the game on github - just none on java). Not only that but people are able to decompile the APK to obtain the source code, although it would still need cleaning up.
Third of all, the market is already saturated with clones (and still the original on many phones) so that amount of money won't be made from it any more.
I just want to play around with it and customise it to my liking.
I'm sure plenty of people have the source code or a recreation of it. If someone doesn't decided to share it I'll suppose I'll have to make my own version.

According to an article on The Verge he made $50,000 daily. :silly:
His comment on the removal was this (quote from Forbes):
“Flappy Bird was designed to play in a few minutes when you are relaxed,” says Dong Nguyen, in an exclusive interview, his first since he pulled the plug on the app. “But it happened to become an addictive product. I think it has become a problem. To solve that problem, it’s best to take down Flappy Bird. It’s gone forever.”

He also said this (Forbes again):
“I also don’t sell ‘Flappy Bird’, please don’t ask.”

So he won't give away his source code.
use showjava or dex2jar
to see inside but dont use it for selling or such but for personal only

As others have said, you're not going to just get a copy of the source code from the developer. He'll likely keep it in his git repo for a while, and that's as simple as it is.
As for extracting the source code from the APK - that's an option, but it'll require deobfuscation and a lot of immorality. To be honest, it's probably faster (and more morally correct) to create your own clone of it. I understand that you just want to tweak some things, but he likely used ProGuard to obfuscate it, and it'll take a while to completely understand the code.
[Q] Flappy Bird modding
GUYS I have a similar question... just for fun I wanted to mod this app and I thought it was pretty easy as when I opened the APK with 7zip it showed the assets folder with the audio and graphics...
so I copied the graphics to a folder, edited them and put them back in the APK in their place with 7zip, sounded simple enough
but it fails to install, why? and how can I do it right?
edit: yes I'm a total noob ahah

The game was never open source, so you're not going to get the source code by asking here.
