I have a Android phone without service. (no phone company I am using with it) Am I able to test my Android app with this phone? If yes what step I should go? I am using Eclipse using HTML5 and phoneGap to develop app.
Should work fine.
Just remember to connect to wifi if your app requires the internet in order to work.

I have created an Android app, in that I want to disable internet access of another installed apps in device from my app.
Is it possible?
Have a look at this thread from the Android Stackexchange: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/40924/block-apps-from-accessing-the-internet-on-android-device.
Many methods are suggested there, with some that might work for non-rooted phones
I am trying to develop a Windows Desktop app similar to Task Manager which can monitor my PC with Visual Studio Express. Now I want to develop one app for my Android phone with which I can connect to this Windows App from anywhere and see some of the graphs and little info (light weight) on my phone in a secure way.
What tools do I need on my desktop and Android phone to develop the app. How can I develop and connect it? If you can help me it will be great.
Thanks.
Probably the easier way for you to do this is to create a server application which both your apps connect to which will need to be on the internet or on a network where both have access to it. The desktop app would be sending its' information and the phone application would be requesting that information. As for what the server needs to be, that is agnostic, however using REST or Websockets (More ideal but a bit harder to work with) for communication would probably be ideal.
To get started I would suggest looking up a tutorial where you do API requests to a server (On either Android or Windows Store Apps). Then look at building your own server application to distribute your own API.
I hope this helps.
Is is possible to directly deploy apps on ios or android devices just for testing?
My Background:
I am currently developing iOS and Android apps but using only emulators.
Maybe you can consider me as an intermediate mobile developer but newbie in direct installation of application created.
Also, I'm afraid my iPhone or my android devices get destroyed if I will try some of the blogs tutorials found on the net.
You can try your application on actual mobile devices on both platforms.
With Android is pretty straightforward: just plugin your device to your computer's USB port. If you happen to have proper drivers for it, whenever you run your application from Eclipse IDE, you will be asked if you want to run your application directly on the device. Make sure you enable debugging on your device.
With iOS, it's also fairly easy. Just plug your iPhone/iPad/iPodTouch to your Mac, launch XCode and select device before pressing run. You might need to create a provisioning profile for it (you will need a Apple iOS Developer Account for this).
I don't think you will ruin any device just by following (and installing) tutorials from the net.
For Android: Yes, you can run the apps directly from Eclipse or Netbeans on your device, works exactly as with the emulator. To make real apps you have to test them on real devices!
You wont destroy your device. Read the Android SDK "getting started" stuff.
Can't really say about iOS though.
You can always buy a second hand cheap phone and use it.
I started developing apps in the Android emulator and I was surprised about the big difference between the emulator en a real device, which really made it worth to buy one of these terminals.
We are trying to access the GPS of the Android Tablet from the web application opened in the Android browser.
We are not developing Android application. All we want to do is, just browse the web application from the Android browser and in that we would like to access the in-built GPS in the Android device.
Right now, we are using HTML 5 geolocation API, but those values are approximate.
We would like to have more accurate values, so we want to access GPS in the Android device from the web application.
We are not going with Android app because the user may use this application in iOS too.
Appreciate the help
Thanks
HTML5 geolocation API is the best you'll be able to do, at least in a crossplatform way. But it shouldn't be particularly inaccurate, since the browser geolocates with the GPS too.
