coding app engine through android - IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools

Hi guys,
I am creating an app using AIDE app..
My front end is ready.
I want to use the Google App Engine for my backend..
like AIDE is there any way i can code the app engine side using my phone itself..
I dont have my laptop but i need to finish this soon..
Any ont know a way or work around to achieve this????

Should post in development forum

I'd like an answer too. I've been using the same app but have yet to have sucsess with many of its fetures.
If you've got root you could try jMonkey within a chroot linux enviroment, however, I've yet to find a way to get Android's SDK on ARM processors so that may road block you there.

Help with App Inventor!

I'm a complete noob with this stuff, but I tend to learn quickly, so please bear with me. I have a nice app idea but I need the help of somebody who knows more than me.
I want to make a button in App Inventor that will result in an Ongoing notification when pressed, and another button that will then stop that notification. I need to know how to set the icon for the notification and how to actually MAKE the notification happen when the button is pressed.
PS: If it would be possible to make the notification only have an image, and seem invisible to the actual pulldown bar (no text/image), that would be better. If you don't understand what I mean by this, just let me know.
not familiar with how app inventor handles this, but can you insert code?
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html
look at this link to tell you how to make notifications with java
I looked at that entire site but I have no clue how to insert code anywhere. Maybe this would be easier if I built the app using some other method? What I wanna do isn't the complex. I dunno, I just wanna get to business with this thing haha
Damn, nobody can help?
I have never used app Inventor but a quick search for Notifications in App Inventor found this bit of information
" Take a look at the Notifier component in the "Other stuff" section of the palette in the designer. It has methods for logging, which you can see if you run "adb logcat". It also has methods for showing alert messages on the phone itself."

From something awesome
Don't use App Inventor. It's so limited and does NOT give you access to code or using Java. It is simply a user-friendly interface for developing apps in a much simplified way.
Try going to developer.android.com and reading up on how to get Eclipse SDK going. There is an Android ADT plugin for developing Android apps and that site has plenty of documentation and tutorials to read up on.

I just downloaded all of that SDK stuff and I'm so lost. I'm reading as much as I can understand on that site but I'm getting nowhere. I just wanna make a simple app lol. This is so frustrating.
Trust me, I'm in the same boat. I'm interested in learning how to make simple apps for now. The advantage is that later I'll be able to expand my knowledge base by reading more and more.
My advice is to start with tutorials and simple apps in the resource section to see if you learn enough to make your app.

I'm using eclipse to build temp conversion app. So far I learned how to create splash screens with it. It's cool that I started to learn how to use it. The sdk not too difficult to get it up and running.

Backtrack 5 Running on a Kindle Fire

Hey guys just wanted to show you a new build im working on. Its basically a full touch version of bt5. I want to give credit to zacthespack for actually coming up with the ubuntu/BT5 install method.
What sets my build apart is the fact that It is full touch control. No dragging a mouse or anything like that. The only setback currently is the lack of bluetooth to connect a keyboard.
This isnt really a release or anything just wanted to tell everyone what I am working on. If anyone wants to help, feel free to pm me
Any links? Or do we still have to wait?
Get reaver running with BT5 and crack WPS with it and it will be useful
No links or anything yet. The .img file is publicly released and you can find it on google.
The crappy part is that there isn't an external keyboard for the kindle yet :/ One I can A) figure out how to do it if I can find a pinout guide for the Kindle Fire's serial port, or B) Amazon comes out with one, I think the possibilities are endless with this device. Much easier to carry around then my laptop at work. I do pentesting on the side and I think tablets are the future of info sec professionals.
The what I really want to get working is the full touch interface. I have it at 50% right now. I am thinking that there is a problem with detecting multiple gestures in bt5 itself. I am not sure yet haha.
So if anyone would like a fiddle with the source and come up with some ideas please let me know
How's this going? I'm hoping somebody will be able to enable usb host mode on the KF, I am 99% sure bluetooth is not supported by the WL1270B. Speaking of the which, have you gotten it into monitor mode? Injection would require a patch too I'm sure.

I just read through the ubuntu install guide thread, this method involves vnc'ing into a chrooted .img so to answer my own question, none of the wireless penetration utils are going to work.

VNC and chrooting can still allow for wireless stuff to work, as we have access to the native device's from chroot also.
the only hurdle comes in the form of device drivers for wifi not supporting packet capture and monitor mode.
@nickmc01, once i get my KF i cna also lend you a helping hand.
in the mean time you can discuss about the issues you are facing and i may be able to help you on that.
BTW are you playing with variations in VNC client configurations to get touch screen or you are also looking at customizing the window managers to more touch friendly once like unity or kde netbook etc.
Note : I am waiting to get my kindle fire delivered (might be with me by month end)
Bump
Did anyone succeeded in installing BT5 on KF ?
did this ever happen???
It wouldn't work. Yes, you could boot into Backtrack5 but the kindle fire's WiFi module does not support the modes needed to run Backtrack5. Only one windows phone actually has the proper hard wars to make any effective use of the program.

Android Apps

Was wondering if there is any other way of running Android apps on Windows 8?
I have tried Jar of Beans, and it didn't work at all for me, and I am not willing to install Bluestacks just yet. Bluestack is always on in the background, and eats up resources.
Any other ways then Jar of Beans, Bluestacks, VM and Duel Boot?
Duel Boot is not an option for me, as I want to be able to run both Android and Windows apps side by side.
Ummm... why would you expect there to be other ways of doing this? I'm surprised there are that many! As a general rule, software written for operating system A on architecture X can't be expected to run on OS B / Arch Y...
Even if you stick to pure Dalvik (no native code at all), which makes the architecture thing less of an issue, the Dalvik runtime is not a simple thing, and Windows doesn't ship with anything like it (well, in concept .NET is similar, but in implementation it's completely unrelated).
You could install the Android SDK and Emulator and use that, but it's horribly slow...
Maybe try getting Jar of Beans to work? It works fine for everyone else, so why not try to troubleshoot the problem? Search the thread, or ask for help in the thread?
Dismissing it just because it didn't work out of the box isn't really the way we do things here
Does bluestacks work on windows 8 yet? Try that

Native ubuntu/chroot jail free? no vnc

Hello All,
Another ubuntu project here..
its a chroot jail free looped native framebuffered something?
one folder on sdcard called linux /sdcard/linux with the .img
your mount point..i use /data/local/mnt/linux
the scripts i use /data/local/mnt
simple you will need to edit the scripts if u edit ur paths..
ill share my stuffs if theres any interest in this.
dunno if this has been done on sgs2 using just scripts but yh
ive managed to get ubuntu13.04 running with full multitouch support using mtrack i use lxde/2d-unity
this approach uses android framebuffer instead of using a vncserver.
Concept/Goal: use android hardware to run linux without vnc and full hardware support...its christmas soon!
so we go a safe way and mount a img file and loop and chroot and mount necessary android stuff i.e /dev /proc /tmp-to help speed up system! and mount all sdcards.
then we kill android-the-framebuffer-hog
and start our xsession,
anyone interested in helping me?
i have the scripts and image, just need more nuerons!
to do is (alot)
Working:
Framebuffer >> full gamma and .mhz settings safe
Wifi
Bluetooth
Reboot to andoid and umount rootfs on log out
Mouse
Multitouch tap is click, double tap is ?grab window to move it, two fingers for right click, three to scroll
Screenshots
Charging
Sdcard
MicroSd
Keyboard >> virtual
Theres alot but its hard to summerise lol
Not Working (WIP)
get sound working completely (evrythings working except last output part) alsamixer, pulseaudio all work..just the last bit..so no sound.
figure out why system_bus_socket connection refused?
why dbus isnt being used but starting ok?
Landscape mode mouse axis. (i can rotate the display but the mouse axis are wrong.. up=right down=left) (portrait is fine)
camara
gpio-keys (hardware buttons)
calls
text messaging.
OTG USB (i made one so im assuming its that that doesnt work simply tweak to the xorg.conf to swap from touch to mouse..)
DRI & DRI2
GL_OES_EGL_image for 3d
have to use a virtual keyboard until running android apps in linux is figured out--ahem (i use matchbox-keyboard)
logon screen works but the keyboard is a issue. (virtual keyboard only starts once logged in. so no logon yet just auto logon)
you can still use ssh and vncserver if you wanted to..
any interest ill share my scripts...
as i said im not the only person to chroot imgs, but i havent seen a thread on getting it running natively on sgs2 without uboot or repartioning anything.
unless u completely recompile the linux os whilst inside of it, i.e adding vmlinux.img should be safe enough. works for me
anyway been a busy with this and im not a pro developer just a seasoned addict, thus the call for arms!
peace!
some screenshots
and you expect me to share my work when none of you have any input..phhhhhaaa
EDIT >> i was how you say suffering from a spot of pink eye! Strange strange thought patterns = WEIRD REMARKS lol

Interesting.
May I ask what are you using for? I mean, which killer app in Ubuntu you can't replace with an Android one?
Moreover, I have noticed an X server on the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.darkside.XServer)
Using it, instead of killing Android, may allow some more integration with the Android environment (e.g. you could still receive calls while using your ubuntu stuff).
Another improvement would be to use multiple consoles (you know, Ctrl-Alt-Fx stuff) to have both environments running
Just my 2ç

lol
i mean to free up surfaceflinger and the framebuffer and send android into a slumber?so we can use it for our xsession. not KILL PERMANETLY
its like a chroot jail free no vnc something??
using vnc will allow u to still have android on in the background for calls and what not but thats chrooting a image to a mount point and running a app. awsome but i got bored with that..much perfere native input.
Search for linuxonandroid by zachthespack hes been dealing with chrooting linux for a long time and has a good application and a healthy stock of img files for you to use, plus a good how to. http://www.linuxonandroid.org Download from play store.. search 4 linuxonandroid
...thats not a bad idea zavorrax about the X11 app..
although running a third party app to use the framebuffer seems pointless when u can use the devices one!
wouldnt u rather have a true linux os in your pocket rather then a clever spin off of it, dont get me wrong i love android and its easy moddding.. linux is far better though.. this project im doing is after all, on a android device.
android root is always 0 ... root = / .... android apps are the users...if that makes sense?
linux uses users who log in..so root still has the initial setup of the os incase a user messes up, root can reset it with relative ease.
so in order to use linux for a vnc free linux, (root is in my opinion just like a programme.) needs to also be 0
thus, night night android..
its hard to explain, its linux and android?
basically the only way i can explain this is its the same as a chroot of a distro BUT instead of using vnc/X11 apks as the only way of having a GUI, we can optionally use the android framebuffer..fb0...
this thread wasnt ment to be a how-to just to see if theres any intrerest out here.
ill make a proper how to with all the basics needed.
as i said theres alot of these projects across the android platform, people trying too turn android back to linux/running linux.
u can pretty much use any img used for vnc or create your own for this.
theres a lot ubuntu/arch/debian/kali/backtrack..etc..etc
i initially add a file to my new img and apt-get a few things, run a few commands to change the img for my device then only need to execute my script,on the fly, hello linux desktop why not!
theres alot of debugging thats why im seeing if anyone is interested in this and would like to help/participate
i initially started using vnc years ago but got fed up with having to run a handful of scripts in this app and then find and add my ports and set passwords in another app, all using important cpu and power, so i thought why not make it all into one easy script.sh.......can of worms...
fruition was glimpsed so i continued.
just use it bcos i can
oh yeah and i say kill/sleep android, its all there..just not emulated/running a instance..sort of packed away in a box.(sleeping lol)
until i/someone can debug compatability for things like phone or proximity sensor then inside the linux GUI theres no support because it hasnt been setup/coded
thanks.

Is it possible to convert a .IPA file to a .apk file by hand?

After getting Iron Man 3 on DVD, I saw that there's a JARVIS app for iOS, and I'm desperate to have something cool like that on my phone (you can easily see what phone I have at the bottom). I'm wondering if it's at all possible to turn an IPA file into an apk file NY hand, as in, open the IPA app in some sort of ipa development program on your computer, then recreate it in an apk development program on the same computer. It makes sense, since apps have to be developed (even if I have no idea how it's done... "IF"). If I'm crazy, tell me now and close the thread, but if I'm not, someone give me a little info on the matter so I can commission xboxexpert (I forget if that's how you spell his handle) to convert the IPA for me in his free time.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
No. You cannot just convert ipa into apk. But its more simple for you to get jarvis . Just search "JARVIS" in play store.
Not possible to port ios apps to android
ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO PORT IOS APPS TO ANDROID !!!!!!!!
* First resaon is that mainly android apps are built in java whereas ios apps are built in objective-C.
* Android apps run on DVM (Dalvik Virtual Machine ).
FEW TRICKS TO PORT
* If u have source code of ios app then you can use android ndk to port your ios app.
* Few third party sdk are available that directly ports ios apps to ios and ios to android.
But main pain in the neck is that it makes the app buggy and slow.
THIS is third party sdk to convert ios apps to android.
