Can I create an apk file dynamically & brand a generic android application for specific companies / groups ?
I want to create a website where users put their company logo & some other detail & get an android app (link to play store or apk file directly??) that is branded specifically for them.
afaik, the easiest way would be several eclipse projects, having their own manifest/res folder, but pointing on the same src folder

I have an app which contains 3rd party apk's for users to download and install on their Android phones. But I would like to have a mechanism through which my users can open those apk's inside my app itself without the need to download them separately on their phones. Is it possible?
That will not be a good choice as keeping those apk files inside your application will increase size of your own application. One good approach to put those apk files on your own server and give a download link in the application for each apk.
Am making an android application using react-native. The application is supposed to have its own separate folder in the phone to help save all the books and content that the user bought from the application. i also need to hide the folder or kind of encrypt it so the user doesn't share his own books or content he bought with any other person.
your application folder already define at context.getFilesDir().getPath() path application install time and one more thing this folder is hide default. only your application is access
These are the two most popular file system management and download libraries for react-native:
react-native-fetch-blob
react-native-fs
I use react-native-fetch-blob because it has better support for opening downloaded files and download manager for android. There is also friendly dir API with easy access to commonly used folders.
Is it possible to create an .apk file that only update an image in the existing app? my app is an in-house app for corporation, not in the play store, mainly contain of images (in the resource folder), and i just want to create a patch (an apk that is significant smaller size) that only update one of the images in the existing version.
If you want your app change image in the res folder of another app it may be possible(not sure it can be impossible at all) for rooted devices.Because all app folders created by the android system for the installed application are protected and can not be accessible for another processes.
But if the image was created on SD-card or on the shared device memory it is not a problem.
I'm very new to android development and to the mobile programming world (now experimenting with Eclipse), and I would like to access other apps folder assets for educational purposes.
e.g. to learn how a specific app is arranging it's resources; is it a native java app or is it based on WebView with HTML5; etc...
Should I need to root my device? is this can be done without rooting?
I have downloaded SD Maid (on my non-rooted device) and I can't find anything "useful" on my device becouse I suspect I have no access to the apps folders.
Download an Apk and copy it to windows, with winrar extract the .apk file. With this you can only get assets folder items and drawable items, no coding files. Without Rooting you can't view data of other apps.
if you are interested in the layouts, there is a useful option in the Developer options (at least on the Nexus 4, android 4.4) - Show layout bounds - then you can see the bounds of every layout that is used.
We can do this for android using apk file manager or just renaming it to zip file and changing the zip file.
But How to do it for IOS file?
I heard apple store allows us to change it but again we are targetting ad-hoc as well. How to do that...?
actually we have created 100 iOS ipa and android apk files for many clients and we want them to change there icons & name of application by themselves.
Each apk and ipa is assigned an ID which retrieves the data from internet upon installation and works accordingly.
You Can't with iOS.
You must change the name and icon in your project again and have to create new IPA files.
As Per apple documentation of itunes connect we can only change large icon for the application which is ratina icon and is 1024*1024 px size. I guess we can NOT change the name of app and icon while submitting to itunes store
