The icons I'm using for my app are free to use with attribution, but I'm confused by the wording they use in their instructions: "Place the attribution on the credits/description page of the application."
Does this mean I need to create a separate page in my actual mobile app where I just make a text with the attribution or just place the attribution in the credits page of the app store?
I can't seem to find an answer online.
Bonus question, I just want to make sure, I used a couple of free icons and edited them together to create the actual launcher icon of my app, is that okay to do?
Thanks!

I want to launch playstore from my application with different parameter.
Below are the list of things which I want to do from my application.
Show top free Games in playstore
Show Playstore categories
Show top paid apps in playstore ... etc etc
Is there a way I can do this? I have tried looking for it but found nothing.
There are many unofficial api's to retrieve playstore data.
First one This you can use in server side also
Another for searching top apps

I've already added my app to google play, I used the android develop console and everything is right.
But right now you only can access to my app using the name, but I would like to add some keywords, and my app apears easily.
how can I do that?
Thank you in advance
Google automatically picks up keyword from your title and app description. However, adding something like Keywords: keyword1, keyword2, keyword3 to your description is considered keyword spamming by Google, especially if you add the title, or the developer name of a competing app. Instead, try to include your keywords in the description in a natural manner.
I suggest you choose the right category for your app forexample if it is a riddles app, it would be best to choose the trivia category where users will easily access yo product. i also do agree with user1256477 that choosing the right keywords forexample words like brain teaser will some how help.
Here is a link that may be of help.
Feel free to check out the description on my app

I do not see a means to put key words or meta tags on an app when publishing it to the android market. Is there a way to do this? Such that if one builds an app for the physical therapy industry a PT an search PT. The current search only seems to search the app title.
I put meta keywords in application description in Play Console. The search searches app title and description.
Example:
i added a keyword portion as krtek suggests. I hope this is okay to do and not frowned upon like putting keywords at the bottom of a web page for search engines to "find".

They do not write anything about licenses at http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html#menuapx (Menu Icons)
I guess they want to have standard icons look the same in all apps, so users dont get confused. Right?
Now I would love to use the Menu-Icon "see map" (a folded map) from the Google Places App. Where can I get it for a commercial project? (Its not in here)
Places is a proprietary app by Google, just like Gmail, Maps, or Voice. These apps are not open-source, so you won't be able to go and find their icons in the git hub.
BAD IDEA:
You could always take a screen shot of the app using DDMS and create your own icon from that, but you might be running some legal risks (since the app isn't open-source). It'd be like using the Photoshop icon for your app.
I've just uploaded my first app on the market. It all went and looks well. I tried a few keywords to search for it, words that I also have in my description AND promo text, but some words don't find my app, some do.
How does the keyword strategy work for an app on the market, I couldn't find no documentation on it.
I think the only place this is documented is the Publishing Your Applications page in the Dev Guide. At the bottom of this page you'll find the meaning of various Market URLs, including:
market://search?q=<substring>
Searches all public fields (application title, developer name, and application description) for all applications. Returns exact and partial matches.
Since that URL brings up the Market's "Search" activity with the substring/query in the search field, I think it's a reasonable assumption that the behaviour is intended to be the same when a user initiates a search manually.
I note that promo text is not mentioned as a searchable field, but why a search would not find something that's in the description, I don't know.
