I have a simple 2 page phonegap application where the users can discuss and review about a particular game.
It has ajax calls and stores everything in a common database table on server.
So i can create say 5-6 apps for different games the app code would be almost exactly be the same just the game type string would have a different value.
Creating such type of apps, does it voilate google plays repititve content policy.
Does google come to know about this as the apps are not native ones, do they scan the html javascript code as well to check if all the code is same?
please help i dont want to get banned from google play

I want to do something, but I don't know how doing it.
I can't even figure out which keyword to search on Google, so I ask the following questions:
I'm not good at English, so this question was written in my native language and translated into Google Translator. My sentence may be awkward, so please understand.

Currently, I have developed an Android application and placed it on the Play Store.
It's hard to say what my app is doing specifically, and let's assume it's an app that sells apples.
I'm making money by selling apples directly from my app, but I want to get some advertising revenue from Google and other advertising companies.
I could place an ad directly in my application, but I want to:
You'll find ads appearing on Google or third-party billboards on various web pages, such as articles on journalist web pages or personal blogs. There will be ads from apple sellers, too.
When a user uses a phone which my app is installed accesses a web page with a billboard like this, I want to increase the number of advertisements about apple sellers.
It doesn't matter whether it's our company or another company's ad.
And because of my application, for consumers who need an apple, ads from apple sellers are more likely to appear, so I'd like to get a portion of the advertising fees paid by apple sellers to advertisers.
However, I am not sure if there is an internet advertising company that runs such an advertising system, so I would like to know if there is such a company and system.
And I want to know the technical details of changing the display of my ads, too,
Long answers are also welcome, but if you simply throw a keyword or link, I'll look for it and study it. :)
What you want to do is not that easy, but here is how you can do it:
Since you are using WebView you must interrupt the html before the browser can parse it. You have to manipulate the html and replace it with your ads. Lets say you do this with Admob or Adsense , then you have to replace the ID's(pub and block). You can also run javascript to do this on the webview once the webpage is fully loaded.
But beware what you are going to do is not compliant to the policy of play store and it will get you banned.
My question is how to keep common leader board. Whether Google Play Game Services is way to keep it for both iOs and Android?
Yes, as long as the app ID, bundle name, leaderboards keys are same, common leaderboards should work just fine.
There is a problem in that iOS does not default to allow for the publically sharing of activity. This means that even though you may have requested the appropriate scopes in the platform definition for sharing of info, iOS will not publically be doing that.
Also - the leaderboard to be used through Google Play Games must have its Enable tamper protection set to OFF in order for the leaderboard to be shareable outside of the Android world (e.g.; Apple, web). If this property is set to off, the All setting for the leaderboard UI will show all users' high scores, except for the iPhone users which have not permitted their activity to be displayed publically.
Yes and no. It is technically feasible to implement the leaderboard however there is a massive caveat being that a gmail account that has not previously registered a Gamer Id will not be able to sign in. This is not mentioned in the docs. This issue is particularly insidious in that many people, myself included, used the same account for testing on android and ios. As long as you signed in on android first will then be successful on iOS as well. Which is great if your game targets people who use android and iOS simultaneously lol.
Currently, I'm looking to see if there is a way to sync the information we've obtained through an online site with the information we use on a phone application.
All I need to know is that the user that visited our site is the same user that is using our phone application, No stats and preferably no one needs to enter a thing.
You won't get that from Apple, because of their history with privacy concerns, but you could do something like generate an identifying number in your app, that your web site asks for, that would tie the two together. Of course, you'd have to make allowances if your app is deleted from the device, then re-installed, to either make sure you're generating the same number, or other such solution as befits your requirements.
The first thing that would come to my mind is Google Analytics, available for different platforms and services (i.e. Youtube, etc). You would have to go through Google Analytics API to figure out a way on how to track a particular customer visit across several location/platforms.
See Hello Analytics example of Google Analytics API

Ok, so far I've answered my own question for androids. Apparently you can pass a referrer param through google play which actually allows your app to receive the parameter and they even have an app that test this functionality.

now I have yet to test this, nor is it a possible solution for iOS.
Long story short: I created a mobile webapp a while ago and it seems fairly popular, especially on Android. Today I discovered someone created an Android App and listed it in Google's Play Store that just wraps my website.
My plan is now to create an Android Application myself, then show a message to users using this app that there is "a new version" of the app they can "upgrade" to in order to keep using my webapp.
I already know how to identify the set of users who are using this app from within JavaScript land, however I want to make transition as smooth as possible (ideally having the users click a button and be in the Play Store's page where there is a [Install] button). I've been reading lots of answers on this topic here but they all assume that one is in control of the android code, which I'm not:
Is there a way to break out of an WebView to a specific page in Google's Play Store ?
If all else fails, the message can say "please search for 'name of the new app' in play store", however that seems not ideal from a UX point of view.
I am developing an android application that searches for various places. The app needs to have a review system where users write reviews about the places they've visited as well as view the reviews submitted by other users. It'd also be necessary to only show a few reviews in the activity and load more once button,say is pressed.I dont know where to start. Any help'd be appreciated.
Try to start with a project ;) You see its a classic client-server app so you gonna need a server with own server-API or REST API. That's for uploading/downloading reviews. For all other just try to do something then you'll be more certain with your questions
