Is there a easy way to create an Android and/or/both IPhone app that lunches any or specific browser and goes to specified URL ?
I want to make it, so it look like an app ..i.e. installed as widget or app ..
Any pointers to documentation are welcome too ?
I would prefer if no coding is necessary :), but is OK if it is needed.
thank you.
Yup http://cordova.apache.org
Refer to the link and follow the hello world tutorials... Very useful for your purpose.

I have a little knowledge in developing web application.
but I need to explore something like application which works in web browser and android app.I have idea that how both works separately.
1. Web application
2. Android App
but i don't have an idea how to code for application which works in web browser and android app.
Whether I need to code for both separately or there is any method or technology to work with it.
If so help me out with a simple Example .. or reference.
The concept you're looking for is called "Progressive Web App". I can't tell you how it works becase it would be a full tutorial. However, I can point you in the right direction.
Take a look at:

Good luck on your learning jurney.
Let me know if this was what you were looking for.
I've developed different personal apps for android and now i'm interested in google cardboard project
So, would be possible to create an application for android to implement the same system of this project : http://www.vrdesktop.net ( windows only ). In few words mirroring the android screen inside another app that will split everything ..
actually i don't know if there are some usefull api/ways to accomplish the job.
EDIT1: i've prepared a draw to better show the idea: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/15AYvjesIhZDTe5mfOmm5TzhRkyxmDA6L0jI9MzdKbB4/edit
After long researches i've found an open source project that is doing exactly what i was looking for:

P.S. Thank you for useless downvoting
Is it possible to develop an application that can be accessed from infront of the lock screen for either iOS or Android?
If so please provide links to relevant documentation?
Not for IOS or maybe with a jailbreak but even like this I don't think so.
I want to create my custom android launcher but not with java code. I want to create it with HTML5 code. I've seen some launchers with HTML5 but not the documentation. Does anyone can give me some links or some tutorials/documentation to start? Thanks.

You could define much of the UI as HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Via PhoneGap, you could deploy this as an app. However, you will still need Java code -- or perhaps a PhoneGap plugin, if someone has written one -- to be able to access information about the installed apps, in order to populate your launcher.
I want to add Pattern 6: QuickActions from android's blog to my app.
Any code snippet?
Anyone try to do it already?
Should this work on android 1.5?
I just found this question right after I posted my own question/answer. Here's the code I developed for this. http://code.google.com/p/simple-quickactions/
I also have been searching for this and found someone through the wave of the Google IO session who has implemented such thing.
He posted the code on GitHub. I just tested it, and it works just great!
You'll also need some ressources from the project (drawables, styles..).
Look at line 1310 of ContactsListActivity.java from the Contacts application. It's the code that creates the intent for the contact shortcuts on the home screen that launch the quick actions intent for a contact.
This won't work before eclair.
Until the official Twitter app is open sourced by Google, you may want to take a look at this implementation:
It's really easy to use and works great.
That app is going to be open sourced at some point so you may want to wait until then. But it could be done with a Dialog with a custom background drawable, and using Window.LayoutParams to position the dialog.
