Social App data access using SDK or without SDK/API :
I have found many android Apps, those are tracking message and all detail from the social app like Whats App, BBm, Viber chat etc.
I search over googled as well as the developer site of all social apps. No one is provide any SDK or any API from you can track other user message . {like : stealing}
Than I found on the Rooted device , you can do this, I searched but didn't get anything. If many apps tracking the other user detail i.e. this thing will happen.
So, If those social App does not provide anything to do this than HOW IT CAN BE POSSIBLE ?
Can Someone correct me IF I wrote something worng ?
or
If this thing is possible, than please give some suggestion or way, How it can be possible?
Thanks
If this is possible, it is most likely only possible if you're coding with C and using the NDK, since it gives low level access, and kind of bypasses the basic Java coding restrictions. Like turning on settings without any user interaction. I hope this helps in any way.
You need to look at them individually. E.g there is a good research on whatsapp. .
You just need to get the access to their database, if they are using sqlite, you can directly get their database and run queries on them. Sqlite Browser or other GUI sqlite tools will be helpful in checking their db schema.

sending live location via whatsapp to a particular contact(or default contact) especially while driving would be a great way to ensure safety during night time or in bad weather.
The possibilities for such applications are endless but it could simplify our lives for the better in more ways than we can imagine.
Let me know what you think and ideas for implementing the same are also welcome.
I've tried to creat 'flows' through android automation apps but my knowledge is limited at this point and i'm looking for guidance
My friends and I are developing a rails app (ruby), iOS app (swift), and android app (java). We are trying to figure out the best way to connect them all.
From our current research, we are under the impression that an API will need to be created with rails and the mobile apps will then have to communicate with that. Is this the only solution? I am also understand that apps can "pull" data from an api, but what about the other way around? We would like each application to be congruent with each other... for example, a record is created in the iOS app. As soon as this happens, the record should also be able to found on the rails app.
When thinking about it, it seems like all we would need is one database, and then have all of the apps connected to it. Would something like this work?
Having trouble finding solid information regarding this. If you know of any documentation, please pass it my way.
The best way is to host database in cloud and access to that common database from all applications. If you host your database with any hosting provider, they will give you a connection string using which you can access from any application. See Amazon AWS for example.
As I understand it, the popular way to interface with your database would be to expose it through a REST framework. Doing this, it doesn't matter how many apps you want to be able to interact with the data, or what platform they are on.
Also, check out Kivy as an option for your mobile implementation, as it allows you to deploy to iOS and Android from a single code base. Of course, you may need to account for differences in hardware APIs, etc... But that would be easier, IMO, than maintaining multiple code bases.
Never built an app before.
Downloaded & installed SDK & Eclipse.
For my 'learning experience' I would like to build an app for my Galaxy S II (4.0.4) that will take me to a web site and then log me in, eg: my Gmail Account or my Voip.ms Account
Can someone point me to a tutorial or suggest how I should start such an app?
Is this too complicated to begin with?
Personally, I think this is way too complicated to start as a learner. You may end up spending a lot more time in debugging some code which does not work because of some silly stuff rather than "learning" how to code Android.
I started with a simple app that has few screens, stores some info in local SQLite DB and sends some across to an remote SQL Server over internet. I managed to complete this in 2 weeks and got quite a good hold on Android basics. Now I am working on a much complex app and am not getting stuck in fundamental issues.
Developer.android.com offers some good app examples and tutorials and is the first go-to location when you want to see how to do something Android-related.
As for what you want to do, it will really depend on the website. Going to the website in question, searching for a developer section is the way to go.
There they will explain which API they offer to devs. OAuth + REST are widely adopted but there is no universal solution, it really depends on the website.
A final note : embedding a webpage in an Android app is a very bad idea from an user-experience perspective, Using an API to offer a native app will always result in a better experience.
I'm developing an app for a company that will include profiles of some clients. The company wants the clients to be able to update information on their profile from the company's website through a secure log-in. I want to do this in a way that the content could be updated without the application users needing to update the .APK.
I'm relatively new to Android development and I'm not quite sure how to do this. Would love the simplest way of doing this. If simple isn't the best way to go about it, I'm open to other suggestions.
Thank you.
The website should have a webservice backend.
Your Android app needs to implement the protocol for that
webservice.
See for example this link http://fahmirahman.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/connection-between-php-server-and-android-client-using-http-and-json/ for a tutorial or search for others.
I like to make an android app which helps the user to share and send data from application to pc. How i can start doing this. Please help

Everything is possible, but wouldn't this be re-inventing the wheel a bit ?
Unless your use-case is really specific to your domain, I would consider something like Astro or Dropbox (that has a very nice Android app) that lets user share whatever data is stored on their phone with their desktop and vice versa.
Doing custom development for this involves proper user authentication & authorization (both on phone and one backend website), user management, sharing capabilities (if required), file syncup, ....
Depending on your needs, a lot of third party apps already offer these kinds of services.
Instead of developing this yourself, I would suggest checking out third party apps that might offer you the ability to integrate with them from your own custom app.
