I am looking into developing an app that would allow you to sort sms by time. Say if you wanted to find all the texts you sent yesterday, etc. Can someone help me out and get me started on how to search through the sms's by time and then maybe show ones that meet the criteria. I have done some developing, just nothing with the sms.
TIA
The answer to this post should give you all you need. There are lots of good resources already online for stuff like this - you just have to search for them.

I just want to start by saying I am doing this for a friend as a general information app and I am receiving no money for doing this. He would like an app to help inform his clients of different treatments as well as adding in daily memos etc. I can create an app no problem and have only created apps for general use and for my University assignments (I will also add that this is not a university project but just more to improve my own abilities). I am hoping someone may have a suggestion for how I can allow my friend to update the apps information easily. For example, I will be creating a general app that will display information (contact information, advice, guidelines, exercises etc) most of which will need updated every so often. He has also said he would like to add a daily update (almost like a daily tip or piece of advice). What I would really like help with, is for guidance on how I can have my friend maintain the app after I have done the project. I want an easy way for him to add/remove/edit memos or information. I haven't come across anything like this so I don't know if it is possible or if it is possible but complex etc. I hope I have explained the scenario well enough. Only looking guidelines of things I can research and do on my own, I just don't know where to start looking.
I want to develop an app which I stream basic text information about sports. First of all I believe I need a server which my users connect to see my stream as soon as something new is published. But I don't have an idea about how to build something like that. I did some search on web to find lessons or answers but I wasn't able to find anything useful. If it's true that I need a server, is Java language good to code server's program? Because I only know a little bit of Java.
And I want my app to have a monthly fee. I'm completely new to programming but I guess I need a database to keep track of my user information. Do I have to build my own user membership system - which people register with their e-mails etc- for all this? Is it hard to do that? And again I don't have any source of information about this one too.
I'm lost at this point. I don't know what to search to get some answers. So I'm asking you guys. What do I need to build an app with monthly fee that streams live information? I'm not expecting a full answer here but at least I believe you guys can tell me where to look for answers. Thanks.
While I agree the question is very vague and open (we could write a thesis on the topic in question and everyone will have their own way to complete) my suggestion would be to research the following:
Java - read as much as you can about the language and ensure that you are happy with (or know where you can get access to good helpers) the syntax (you mention that you know a little about Java so that is a good start).
Android programming in general. Look up the Activity lifecycle (The Android documentation is good, read as much as you can, follow the examples and try out the tutorials! https://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/index.html)
Read up on Firebase; this should make the server side a little simpler (although I have only a parsing knowledge (i.e., none) of Firebase, it looks like it will be a good start). Again walk through the examples / tutorials; do the Hello World and then pull it apart to see if you can figure out how it is holding together.
Then when you have questions (which you will, we all do!) come back and I know that you will get some great help!
Once you have a few applications under your belt (personal 'play' apps) then and only then would I consider looking at the Google Play API (https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/).
Hope this gets you on the starting grid at least! Good luck!

I know this has been asked before (did not find a straight forward answer) but can I (Or how can I) create and Android App using CSS/HTML/Jquery ?
I will not need to hook into native functions, such as the accelerometer, camera, or even the Toast Messages...I only need to create an app to show a list of names and some details when name is selected, therefore I don't know if it's worth learning to make my life more complicated for something like this.
PS: I need the app to work offline, otherwise I would have just made it with jQuery Mobile and uploaded it on a server.
UPDATE AFTER GETTING DOWNVOTED
Ok, so I get downvotes for this question, probably because it's been asked before, or maybe not, since he/she didn't take the time to write a reason...
Anyway, my point is: I did googled it and searched, but at this moment there are a lot of ads of websites and web apps that will help you do this BUT are they reliable, safe..do they really do the trick or it comes with bugs? That is why I asked the question, to see who used what and what was their experience with it. So yeah, you can downvote me for not trusting every ad and not taking the time to try out everything out there!
Well you can use https://software.intel.com/en-us/html5/tools to develop cross-platform apps. I used it to develop too. It is quite good but it only has one major issue: you can't use php. It also enables you to do on-device testing.
So wasn't sure how to title this one but I'm hoping someone with Android experience can answer this for me.
I'm trying to turn Android code into App Inventor 2 code. I need to start a new activity and have the relevant Action, ActivityPackage, ActivityClass, DataType, ExtraKey, ExtraValue (whether all of these are needed for this specific situation I'm not sure) to input into an ActivityStarter that views the locally stored phone contacts.
I am sure there is a way, there is in just Android app making with Java but I need help translating that code across. I'm pretty sure I want an android.intent.action.VIEW and contactsContract.CommonDataKindsPhone I'm just not sure in which parts in should go and what else I need to than be able to add that information to a list.
This is what I have so far:
I'm sure others would appreciate this information, as well as how to get other related data to contacts into App Inventor 2.
Also I know about ContactPicker.PhoneNumberList and PhoneNumberPicker.PhoneNumberList neither of which are able to find any contacts on my phone which is why I'm trying to work out a work-around.
Anyway any help is appreciated,
Thanks.
Unfortunately it's not possible to get a list of locally stored phone contacts with App Inventor. See also issue 734 in the Issues List. I suggest you to star this issue, so probably one day we get this feature into App Inventor.
The ContactPicker.PhoneNumberList or PhoneNumberPicker.PhoneNumberList only give you all phone numbers of a contact after picking a contact.
App Inventor has its limitations and unfortunately you can't do something like this as described in this Stackoverflow answer. The only thing you can do is to access the Google Contacts API with the web component to get a list of contacts, but precondition is, your contacts are synchronized with Google, but this is not what you want. An example to do that you can find here.
I want to know how to control system resources and services like bluetooth, SMS, phone contacts etc.
Honestly, i want to know how or what to do to control sms usage based on user behavior, block incoming call or change it to auto vibrate mode without user noticed like that.
Actually, I want it for my assignment about context aware access control paper.
I choose Android for implementation but i am afraid i
couldn't submit my paper in time if i study android from the beginning and all by myself.
No offense but I want to avoid errors.
I feel my head becomes swollen whenever "force close error" show as I need it urgent.
As Willytete said developer site is the best one for you
There you can find
Application Fundamentals
Download the Android SDK and start programing
The first program tutorial where you can start Hello World
Notepad Tutorial where it give you a lot of ideas
List of Sample Apps, where there is a lot of codes
Getting the Samples, it explain how to use this.
You will get all the information from developer site that you needed, while move from beginner to an expert
