So I've been asked this question by another developer in work and I couldn't figure it out. Now having a Desire myself, how the hell do you edit a text message that you are composing? The same for a URL you may have made a typo in? On the iPhone you would hold down on the area where you want to edit and a little zoom bubble would appear and the cursor would be where you want it allowing you to retype. Can this even be done on Android devices?
One way is to use the trackball. The other way is to just tap your finger on the location in the text you'd like the caret positioned at.
The moving-zoom-bubble thing on iOS is I believe apple patented, so not available for the rest of the world, even though it's pretty obvious IMHO. That's software patents for you though.
On my Motorola Droid, you can tap on the screen in any textbox in order to set the cursor. It's difficult to get the cursor where you want it, but it can be done.

Is there any way where I can inspect that a given device is using screen protector or not. Here the screen protector is generally we use tempered glass on our phone. Thanks in advance
It is impossible to do unless there's a sensor for detecting it integrated in the screen or the body of the phone, since usually screen protectors doesn't affect touch screen, it might be possible with external sensor, but it needs to be very accurate in detecting transparent layers.

Is there any method or way to check that user is writing text whether in whatsapp, or messaging, or any edit text.
No, not supported by Android. It might be possible if you go on a lower level using NDK, but the short answer is, there is no easy way.
The basis of this answer is how Java works, each application runs in a virtual environment and thus they can not interact with each other directly.
If you really want to achieve this (However there will probably be limited usage, such as only rooted devices) I would suggest to start search the web with keylogger android as keywords.

I wonder how google does it?? When you first power your device on, A introduction to apps and features will be shown in green color when user touches it the element will disappear ! I tried searching google but i don't get exact idea of what that layout / element was? Please regret me if this was a duplicate question.
this is definitely what you are looking for
Holo-themed transparent demo overlays
Are you just trying to do something on the first launch and then never again? Or are you looking for that look and feel? If so, it's probably just images and such layed out. If you want to test the first launch, there's a few ways to do it. One of the easiest is to create an empty file in the shared preferences in your onCreate() method, then check to see if it is there. If it's not there, you do your on first launch action and then create the file afterwards.

I was looking for an app for phones (iPhone, Android and SmartPhone - any or all) that would simply run in the background and place any scanned upc code digits into the currently active textbox.
I've Googled for quite a while and only found an Android app that actually replaces the keyboard of the phone.
It seems like it should be easy (I have many for PCs) but I haven't done any handheld programming since Windows CE days so I don't know if this is possible (can apps see other apps controls in these phones).
Has anyone ever come across an app like this?
use the iphone sdk from zbar and you can do it inside your app.
You cannot do this system wide. You can only add this functionality to your apps.

Can I get an app that only can do one thing : dial a specific number?
If it is affirmative, can one make an app that creates and edits plurality of described applications?
When you run it the first time , it will ask for list of names with phone numbers, and then creates a bunch of icons: Mike, Steve etc. Each icon dials one person
Where can I hire a programmer, who is capable of doing this?
Yes. it is possible
You could create an application that makes configurable widgets, so a 1x1 widget that has a preference stored for the number to call.
If you're looking to hire someone then I can't see much point in going into detail as how this would achieved seeing as you'll be paying someone to come here and read this answer.
You could try hiring via a freelance website such as gun.io or any other site that comes up when you search for find freelance android developer
