Hello,

I own a responsive website that I want to convert into an android mobile app.
Had previous experience with wrappers but it was not so good and no so cheap!

I've just discovered nativator.io which looks great and offers most of features a 13 bucks per conversion. Anyone tried it before?

Thanks!
Mat

Hi I've read about Apps that can track a person's location without them knowing
What id like to know is can this be done or is it a scam

Well your carrier has records of your location simply by triangulating your phone via the cell towers it automatically connects to as you travel around, so as far as that aspect it's not an app installed on your phone, nor is Google involved at all. It's just a basic function your phone provides you that the carriers take advantage of. Turn on Airplane mode and that should disable WiFi, cellular, and Bluetooth connectivity if you really want your phone to be invisible. Remove your SIM card too if you want to go to extremes. Of course that takes away a lot of benefits of even having a smartphone so there is that to consider.

But if you're thinking just anyone can track you just because they feel like it, than no. That's just melodrama from TV and movies. If someone is actually targeting you specifically however, that is a different situation. But they can't just magically install some kind of spyware app on your phone remotely, that's something that needs to be done when they have actual physical possession of your phone without any supervision -- they need to a) crack the lock screen (in a way you don't later notice), b) manually install some kind of spyware app, and c) set it up properly (so it's not obviously detectable) and configured properly (set to communicate with whatever remote tracking source). So it's not a trivial thing to do. Basically, make sure you have a lock screen enabled and don't let other people just borrow your phone unless you can keep an eye on it.

Thank you very much for James. He did a great job of rooting my phone.

Photos I upload to google drive (as a bunch ) are not uploaded in correct order.

Well, today it is a brisket in brine. Check back in after two weeks to see how it comes out, but it is normally pretty good.

Have you made sure you have enough battery life?

Gotcha, @NightAngel79, and it sounds very cool. But it's strictly by using AF's app, right?, not a browser on a device.

So Jane Doe visits via the app, and if her device's forum already exists, nothing happens? Or is she taken to its forum? Probably not the latter--if she arrived by searching for help with Twitter, she'd want to see threads about Twitter, not just in her device's forum. [I'm basically thinking out loud.]

I like what I'm seeing...well, except for...you know... I think the links on device boards, like to Amazon to buy the device, are good, and should help in a number of ways. It's fun watching things appear.

So yea, only from app. If they land here from twitter (and have the app installed) they would be directed to the thread they were linked to. But part of 'their' channels would be a section for their phone.

Liking the new layout, just need more and more threads posted!!

Yeah, my library contains apps that are no longer available in the Play Store. And this isn't the sort of app that Google are likely to have deleted from the store themselves (those are usually games that infringe copyright or malware apps, which tend to disguise themselves as "beauty camera filters" these days, though dodgy flashlights remain a hardy perennial).

I'm with Hadron on this one...
No apps require any activation code, unless it is a paid, premium app.
If you pirated them you will not get any help here

Have you read the replies?
It's not your isp, it's your old old device

Hold volume down with it disconnected. Then while doing that connect it to the USB cable that's connected to the PC. It'll boot download mode. From there you need to follow directions to a T to unroot

Can anyone tell me what version of android this screenshot is from? I believe it's an LG from around 2016 but don't have any more information.

In particular, I'm wondering why there aren't any timestamps, and what the conversation length is referring to? (see "Conversation with" and "24 min.")




Sorry about redactions

Except food of course. @NightAngel79.

I've finally reached the alpha testing phase of my first Android project and what a rollercoaster ride it has been getting this far! But I'm now experiencing a few difficulties with the billing aspect.

My project is a database records app and the plan is to offer the app for free, but with access to only a small number of records so that people can try before they buy. If they like the app, there is an in-app purchase for unlimited records (or Go Pro).

I've set it up in the Play console with a closed track test using a list of approved testers (currently me with a couple of Google accounts) and this allows me to test the following:

• Test card, always approves
• Test card, always declines
• Slow test card, eventually approves
• Slow test card, eventually declines

And this is where I'm having a problem.

The first two options are OK. I'm able to capture the event correctly and the app behaves as it should.
But the slow test cards are causing me a headache and I'm looking for any help or advice that's on offer.
What happens is that the purchase gets flagged as 'PENDING', and although I've triggered the acknowledge function, when checking the purchase status, 'acknowledged' remains false.

According to Google, purchases will remain as 'PENDING' unless they are acknowledged within 3 days. The implication being purchases that fail late will be locked out for 3 days or more! As a user (and a developer) that would infuriate me and I would turn to another app.

I have been able to cancel the payment with 'ConsumeAsync' when I've detected that it is in a PENDING state, but this is not consistently successful.

If the payment is eventually successful, the app automatically picks this up through the Billing API 'queryPurchases' method, so although there is a delay, the user is not significantly inconvenienced.

However, as far as I can tell, if the payment fails, the purchaseState remains at 2 (PENDING) and unless I can find a way to establish that the payment has failed, the user will have a long wait before they can try again. As you likely know, trying the purchase again while the state is pending results in an 'item already owned' error.

So finally to my questions:

1. In the real world, do failed payments often get reported late in this way and if so, how often (how big a problem is it likely to be)?
2. What is the best way to handle the 'Slow test card, eventually declines' scenario

Any suggestions, solutions or help of any kind will be very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Sounds like the default SSIDs for a certain type of WiFi router, like could be from a local cable company or telco in your area?

Hi,

I have never used android studio before but I have been asked to build an app from source code provided on github (https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STBlueMS_Android), for my university project. I have opened this code in android studio but am getting error messages so it will not build. The error codes are:

ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ':BlueMSCloud@debug/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :BlueSTSDK.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Yeah, I've personally always thought that I would not want root without a custom recovery. My rule was always "take a nandroid before modifying anything in the system", because without that your only way back if something goes wrong is to reflash the device.

okay guys thank you for your help! i give up! because every solution i found online there are sub-problems appear there is no complete solution online.... photos are gone!.

What is EXIF data?
EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, ... is a set of metadata attached to photo or video files. This metadata is a list of information, bellow is some kind of popular data.
- Make: Which camera is taken these photos.
- Model: Which model of camera.
- GPS Latitude, GPS LongItude: a set of GPS coordinates of a photo attached when taking a photo by the camera.
- ISO, Flash, Exposure, White Balance, Color Space, ...: parameter set of a photo after taking.
- Shutter Count: current number of photos taken by that camera.
... you can take a look at some documents on the internet to explore more metadata as on.

I am working with Android 9.0 AOSP, but it doesn't have treble support. Is it possible for me to bring Treble support to the AOSP? If yes, please tell me the steps to do it.

Hmm, that will be tricky to stop as the app is already open. I doubt it's possible without modifying the dialer app itself (which isn't a realistic option).

So I have read a couple articles about Huawei alternative play store App Gallery and it being the 3rd biggest market place behind Google and Apple. Does anyone have any experience with this

Click to expand...

I have experience of Huawei's App Gallery.

Many of the apps in there are only really relevant to China.

About it been the third biggest app market place after Google and Apple? It probably is, given that Google is blocked in the country that has probably the world's largest number of Android devices by far, and Huawei is the most popular phone brand in the PRC.

I have android system application which need to support multi user (i.e single device having different user profile). My application shows notification to user. I want notification should be seen all users along with with user 0. But only USER 0 is showing the notification. Other users not showing notification.

I am expecting notification to be shown in other user when it is ACTIVE. I am not seeing that notification when it is ACTIVE

I added below permission in my code.

<permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS"
androidrotectionLevel="signatureOrSystem"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions"/>

<permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL"
androidrotectionLevel="signature"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions"/>

Also added
android:singleUser="true" for all the receivers and services. Still not able to see notification on other users other than USER 0.

adb command used to switch users : am switch-user USER_ID. when i run this command i am seeing my other user is also running
Example:
$ adb shell pm list users
Users:
UserInfo{0:Owner:13} running
UserInfo{10:New User:10} running
UserInfo{12:Guest:14}

I added multiple user by using System->multiple users -> add user settings

What could be the reason?. I kindly request you to help me to resolve this issue

Thank you so much for the reply guys. Much appreciated
