There is an API of OpenDrive. You can use that. They also provide example code, that is in PHP though.
Dropbox, Google Drive, SpiderOak, Ubuntu One and SkyDrive include many other similar options you have in case you want better and more tested API.
[EDIT] Ubuntu One Comes with documentation for Android too https://one.ubuntu.com/developer/ . If that can serve your purpose, go ahead use it.

I am not able to device a way to upload images to any of the cloud services from an app Inventor project. My use case is to take snap from one install of the app and should be accessible to other install of the app [on a different phone with a different user].
Until now I have looked into : http://puravidaapps.com/drive.php
But this tutorial only explains to access gDrive of the user which would be separate account.
I have also looked into imgur APIs but they need the image to be converted in base64 format.
In short, any of following answers should solve my purpose.
1) Getting gDrive to work without user asking to do the authentication to the app's service account
--> Any link to achieve this would be very helpful as I am lost in documentation and somewhere it clearly says that it only supports OAuth 2 authentication, which I understand that the user will have to use their own account information
2) The APIs from imgur and other such image hosting services needs the image to be converted to base64
--> Is making a separate procedure using the file component following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 is only option or I can get it converted using some other service too.
EDIT : I see that it is not possible to parse the image contents using any of the components in app inventor
3) I also think that it easy to get and upload images to an ftp server. I am yet to see a free ftp service.
4) Is there any other way I can do it.
I am emphasizing on free services because my app is free and for a social cause.
Any inputs and suggestions are welcome!
You can use my Google Drive interface also without login, in this case the images will be uploaded to your Google Drive, see my example app, which is available in the Download section there
There is currently no block, which converts an image into base64, but you could write your own extension and create a block yourself. More information about how to create an extension see the announcement,
however that will be more advanced and will require some Java skills...
I can offer my App Inventor FTP extension
Other ways to upload images (there might be more):
a) uploading to your web server, see my postfile example
b) uploading to Dropbox, see my Dropbox example
I am emphasizing on free services because my app is free and for a

I know this has been asked before but i couldnt find any links here or in web.
I need to open .pdf, .doc, .ppt, .xls document types from our server within my android application without saving the files to device or using options like google viewer because of security reasons.
I know that android does not have built in support for this but i looking for any third party options paid or free for my app
One solution i read about is to package another app (like smart office) with in my app and open the docs using that. Can someone post me more information regarding that (packing apps with in app and opening using intent).
Thanks
I dont know what you've been reading.. But, Android does have support for this, its all about mimeTypes and how you handle those mimeTypes (Intent) in your app. Look at #
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/data-element.html
That should get your started.
I am trying to (roughly) replicate the Sony Xperia "Live on Youtube" app. Since it is exclusive to the Xperia line, I am trying to build an app out of the Youtube WatchMe source code.
All I need is an app that can live stream video from the phone's camera to Youtube, as both of the apps mentioned above do. I know that WatchMe is meant to be nothing more than a reference for developers wanting to make apps that utilize this, but how possible would it be to modify the example code? I don't need a necessarily stable application, but something is better than nothing.
It would help even more if anyone knew of an app that already contained this functionality.
Due to sharing and open-source limitations of ffmpeg I wasn't able to distribute the built.
There were few people built successfully in here. They use ffmpeg + libx264 v2.3.
You'll also use Android.mk and ffmpeg-jni.c from the repo to build.
Take a look at TubeStreamer, now on Google Play. This is a work in progress but is currently working for streaming live video to YouTube.
I'm also trying to make this app worked.
I made it run on my phone, but with the wrong build method.
Here's my progress, just for reference.
I compiled the app on Eclipse except the libffmpeg.so.
Then, I got the lib file from someone provided on https://github.com/youtube/yt-watchme/issues/16
Finally, I push the file into the phone's directory "/data/app-lib/com.google.android.apps.watchme-1/libffmpeg.so"
After these steps and configure on Google develope console and Youtube, this app could run correctly.
I would like to include a menu item in my Android app (built using Cordova/PhoneGap) that provides users with the ability to invite their friends to download the app from Google Play.
Does anyone know of an existing solution for this? I have not had much luck finding one.
On BlackBerry10, this is extremely easy to do (literally 1 line of code). It leverages the OS and BBM to share the download URL of your app with your closest friends:
blackberry.bbm.platform.users.inviteToDownload();

Please tell me something similar like this exists for Android (iOS?) ? Thank you.
I use this plugin and works perfectly: https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin
It's a sharing plugin that allows a lot of configuration options. You could configure it so users share a link to your app on Google Play. The documentation explains how to set everything up.
For our company internal use, we would like to create create a website for downloading android apps. Anyone has some insight about this? Can a traditional file-serving server work?
Thanks.
When clicking on a Android Apk file on the web it will automaticlly downlaod and ask the user to install it, this will also show any permissions that are required too. So any type of file-serving server will work just fine for this.
