I'm looking for a way to give mobile users the ability to share an Android App along with an ID.
Now I know how to share an App and customize a text for that, but is there any way we can have query strings (or similar) in the Android Market which will be passed to our Apps when installing from there?
Basically what I'd like to do is to have someone's ID to be sent with the App whenever they share it, and once the other user clicks the link with the ID parameter from the market, to download the App and have the ID of the person who shared embedded within the App for marketing purposes.
HeyTell App has this sort of feature but they share the name of the user who shared the App instead of an ID.

Can I have multiple apps in AppStore and PlayStore use single Facebook App? For example I own a brand and launch 3 or 4 or 5 apps under the same app on the both platforms. I want to have shared friends list between them and maybe some other things.
Yes. You can. See here
You can use one Facebook app ID in multiple Android apps. Just use the
same app ID in another app for login, sharing, and so on.
For deep linking and opening your app through notifications and other
means, we only support a single package name/class name combination.
I'm currently building an app (android and ios) for which I now need users to be able to login. It must be possible to both sign up regularly (entering username, password, name, mail etc.) and to login through various not yet determined social media such as facebook, twitter, gmail, hotmail.
Now my questions are as follows:
1. Are there any framework's supporting this kind of in-app+social media login scenario ? (I know there is stuff like auth0 but it seems that you don't have that much control with this. As I'm going to save statistics about user navigation and such I think it would be preferable to store all my users in my own db, regardless of their way of logging in. Thus to me it seems like what I need is just an easy way of getting information from these social media and then register users as if they had just signed up regularly am I right ?
2. Anything obvious I'm missing ?
All of these social media sites have their own sdk's that allow you to login users and get certain information from them. So using a website like facebook's sdk you request certain information about the user logging in such as email and first/last name, then save this information in your database including it came from facebook. You will need to also create/encrypt a password for someone coming from a site like this. This is very important, obviously they won't give you access to a user's password but you don't want the user's account on your website to be vulnerable. I would limit the number of ways to login because you will have to program and work with each websites sdk in order to do this. Probably just use your own login and a facebook login to start
Here is a link to facebooks website for developers which gives you access to their sdk's for different platforms https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apis-and-sdks
I am just curious to know the possibility of the below scenario,
I have a MailChimp URL with the product page,( Say http://www.androidapp.com/productpage?product_id=10 ) Now this url is sent to user email. Whenever user clicks on the url, the android app should gets open the particular product screen in the installed app. Is this achievable?
I had analyzed with these references and yet to find the possibility of achieving it.

I searched SharedPreferences and tried my project but i think something is wrong.
My project is about a company's extranet. Each employee has an android based phone.
The company wants simple android app which use very easily by employees.
The app is used so that an employee can access extranet easily outside the company.
The app has two screens - Login and Register.
Each employee need to have account for example. "someone#company.com" and password then register.
If the user has already registered, there is no need to login again.
I need a mail server name and some attributes such as this.
So all user's domain name and password in the company need to record such as
SQLite or SharedPreferences and each one logs to their own account on android phone.
According to project can you tell me which one is right for this app?
I have two apps which have same name and same functions. One in android market and one in app store. Currently only with iphone app you can post your score on your facebook wall using the facebook app i created. My question is can i use same app for android also to post the score on user's wall? Will it create any problems if i do that?
Yes, you can use the same application ID. You should, in fact, as it'll prevent you from having analytics and user permissions split between the two.
On the facebook developer page you can set how you will use the login account. Than you can select mobile application and set Android and iOS.
whatever you use for creating app either iPhone, android, blackbarry etc. same app id used in all mobile application.
