I know it sounds and actually is stupid. I am trying to promote my app with AdMob. In the promotion form there, I put
URL: market://details?id=com.xxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx
DisplayUrl: ????
Whatever I enter for DisplayUrl, system is giving me invalid format error.
I have read the guidelines http://helpcenter.admob.com/content/content-guidelines#displayURL but it does not help at all. Can someone help me?
UPDATE: I fed up with that option Text & Tile and went with image option with which I can upload my own image and be done with it. So much for 1 cent/click saved.
I don't know if this helps you, but I was having the exact same problem, which I might add, was very frustrating! :-P
I believe what they're looking for, for that field (which they should really explain BETTER), is they want a url to a website, that a desktop browser can go to. Like for example...
URL: market://details?id=com.xxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx
DisplayUrl: play.google.com/store
Now please keep in mind, I tried adding both http:// and https:// and got the same
There were problems with your submission. and Invalid Display URL format. error
I know that fixed my problem! :-)
Honestly, since I'm sure at least 60% of ads are to the Google Play Store, I think they should really suggest that, or maybe give an alternative suggestion. Since they are such sticklers on the format, they should give us more guidance, and maybe an example? :-P
I hope that fixes your problem :-)
From the documentation, it would appear that the DisplayUrl is specifying the location of a html document that is to be retrieved and displayed in the ad box. Do you get a webpage at the url that you are putting in this option if you view it in a normal web browser? Also, have you given your app permission to the internet?

It's late and my brain can't even think of the proper things to search for to find the help I need.
Here's what I'm aiming for:
My app takes in a bunch of data from the user. Specifically sizes for windows and doors around a house. My app takes all that data and determines how much material is required, etc.
Here's where I'm stuck:
What I'd like to do is turn that all into a fancy looking report and offer the user the ability to print it. I figured the easiest way to do that would be to generate a report using HTML (or PDF) and have it open up in a web browser, which already has print capabilities.
Can anyone tell me if this seems like a good strategy for what I'm trying accomplish? And if so, point me in the right direction (or to the exact same questions that's already been answered somewhere on this forum).
Thanks.
I am trying to create an application that would connect itself to Line and allow it to post messages and stamps to the user's account.
I tried searching and I did see a library from Naver itself but all the documentations are either blank or in Korean. Thus, I don't know where to start. There are also scant examples on the net.
Have anybody here tried doing the same thing as I am? I would be really grateful and thankful if you would shed some light on this! :)

You can basically share text or images to someone in your contacts or post it in your home.
I have googled the heck out of this but I could not find any pointers. So any help would be great.
I am trying to implement a link preview for my users in a feed stream like Facebook on an Android native app as below!!
I am looking for solutions which require least amount of data usage by the user and hence reducing loading time so that this ca be accomplished cleanly.
Do I have to store the image, title and description data on my own server??
Please HELP!
I think I have found a solution in a blog. It stores the image thumbnails in the cache. However I am worried about the memory leaks.

Please check this out and tell me how we can tackle memory leaks.
You could use a third-party service like ThumbnailApp, which I wrote about here for a similar question, except you would need to use the HTTP API and not the JavaScript SDK. There are also other services like ShrinkTheWeb but I'm not sure they give you the title / description.
I'm developing an android app and am not sure if something like this exists or how to even approach it. I would appreciate any advice.
In this app I would like to have a screen that displays only local news for a certain zip code. I would of course type in the zip code but after I do this once it would take it from there.
What is the best way to do this?
I've read a bit about RSS feeds. Is this the way to go? Is there a particular RSS feel that will let me type in a zip code...and if so, how do I display this content inside a page of my app?
Maybe there is a website that specifically does this for android apps and I just need to set a url to this web page to consume the information?
Sorry if I'm not very informed about this. This is my first app and I would really appreciate knowing how best to approach this problem.
Thanks
Google News gives "information near you". It uses geolocation to know where you are and shows the news that happen in your area, maybe you can use that.
You can also use the RSS they provide for a certain area, for example, California:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&gl=us&as_occt=any&as_qdr=a&as_nloc=california&authuser=0&q=location:california&um=1&ie=UTF-8&output=rss
This one is puzzling me...
For my Android application I want to be able to return the current time in any location the user requests (right down to city level). The request itself comes from a voice command, so I cannot use alternative methods.
The most obvious way (so I thought) was to query Google, but I need your brains to help me solve how to extract the data I want please!
In Google, query:
"What's the time in China"
You should see a 'widget' at the top displaying the answer nicely. View the page source and search on 'China' and it's there - I thought great, this is going to be easy!
But...
"What's the time in London"
Although the display in Google appears the same, there is no result for 'London' when searching the source HTML...?
Using Google Chrome, I inspect the element of the 'widget' and can then view the contents I wish to extract in all cases.
So, my questions is firstly, am I missing something obvious (Google don't want us to be able to do this for example)? Or is there a way to 'force' the result to be in the HTML by structuring the query perhaps?
Secondly, is there a way to access the specific 'element container' and return the results to my Android Application?
I thank you in advance...
You should really use an API instead of parsing html.
I guess there are many many API which will give you the time in a given city.
http://www.worldweatheronline.com/time-zone-api.aspx for example (havnt tried it myself)
If you still want to extract data from the google result (which is html), check for html parsers like in this post : Parse HTML in Android
