I am a student and working on a school project. At the moment I am in the research phase. Part of the idea I came up with is to run an app on the phone to hide some of the other icons such as phone call icon, message icon, camera icon and ect. I wanted to know if this idea is feasible. I was wondering if you could give me some tips or point me to a website so that I could post such questions.
Quite simply,
you cannot do this on iPhone.
Hope that helps!
Maybe someone else will tell you the Android case. Good luck in your studies.

In an Android alarm clock app that I want to develop, I want to allow people to have a custom image as the app's background when it goes off, rather than having the device's stock background, but I don't know how to go about it. It might actually be really simple but I am still a beginner (a shocker I know) so yeah does anyone have any ideas??
Just in case people are getting confused, I DON'T want the app to change the person home screen wallpaper, just the alarms background
I haven't started the app yet because as I said I need to know this one thing before i spend a few weeks developing
Kind Regards
Ryan
I believe this question has been asked multiple times before. Did you try searching the site prior to asking? It is a pretty basic question if you are just trying to change the background wallpaper on Android.
Edit based on your comment: See here.
I need to implement Fragmentation concept in my android sample app. If the device is smart phone then when i click on buton it should display the result in another window else if it is tablet then it should display the result in same window. But i don't know how to do it. I got some references code but it works for tablet not for smart phone. when i try to run that same project then it's giving the force close error. So any one have an idea please help me.
Any advise is accepted.
Would highly recommend this tutorial, it describes the concept perfectly and provides a very clear and simple example of implementing Fragments in your application. Hope this helps you.
I need to build an accordion lie animation and I have no clue where to start.
Can you please address me to resources and sample codes so I can better understand how to do that?
The closest thing I saw on Android is the cord animation in Go Launcher, so I don't know if it is possible, anyway I'd glad to even be able to create something like Go's animation.
Thank you
You can see an example in this screenshot from the iPhone app 'task'

I want to develop an android application that will be an alternative lockscreen.
I searched a lot and i couldn't found an explanation about how to make an app to work like a lockscreen. I understand that there is no official android API for lockscreens, but there must be way, because there are a lot of alternative lockscreens applications in the market.
Does someone know how could i make my app work like a lockscreen? Or if there is a basic code out there of lockscreen app that i can learn from it how to do it?
Thanks a lot (:
The way this is usually accomplished is creating an app that becomes the home application and then when the screen is turned on display your custom lockscreen and hide it when the user successfully unlocks it so they can use the device.
Make sure to take a look at the numerous questions on SO that are very similar to this.
I am very new to android development. I wanna create a app thats like a ticker on android tablet. But when the user clicks on any other application, i still want my ticker to be visible and the other app to resize and occupy rest of the screen only.
Somebody told me that this is not possible. Is it the case ? Anyone know of any similar app ? or somehow plz get me started with this ?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
It is not a good idea steal screen space from other applications. If your ticker is floating above like modal window, it would probably block some views for the user.
If your app is competing for the screen space, the other app would probably look ugly.
My suggestion is that you rethink your application, and follow the user interface guidelines.
Good luck!
I believe this isn't possible. Even if, it isn't a good idea. If you want something like that consider creating a widget or some kind of notification. That would be the best and a lot of applications use notifications like that.
what you want to do is creating a system type of window,such as PHONE_WINDOW,make your app flowing on the up-layer of other normal window.
