I wonder if anyone can tell me if it is possible to save an android app on a server and use the RSE Eclipse plugin to edit it ?
This has become necessary for me so I don't have to physically be at work to continue work on a project.
Thanks for any input.
Sorry if this seems obvious...but is there no way you can work on the app locally and save your changes to the server using RSE...or even better, commit the changes using some version control system?

In Android Studio I can change the Android API code and save it. I assume this change is not pushed to the emulator?
Do I need to download the whole AOSP and compile a new android.jar or is there an easier way to change for example Editor.java and try out things in Android Studio?
You probably don't want to change an Android api... you wouldn't be able to install the app on anyone's phone.
But yah, Android is open source and you can download AOSP, change an api, and compile a device image.That'd be the only way to do it.
What is your end goal here? There probably is an easier way to accomplish it.
I've ran into a problem with apache cordova background modes. I need to make an application where my battery level is checked from time to time in the background (if the app is in background), and if it is below some level, then the app should notify you about it. Eventually I've managed to run it on android, with katzer's plugin, it does work indeed, but after a while it shuts down completely and on iOS it does not even work. I've tried other plugins but nothing was helpful. Can you please help me find the problem with this? Also it must work on wp8/8.1 that's why katzer's plugin suited me best. (Not to misunderstand me, it is an outstanding plugin, in fact the only that works).
Here is the code on Pastebin
Also I'm linking the plugin which I'm using at the moment
Thanks in advance
is it possible to create an Android 1.5.1 app using Android Studio?
Yes it is old but still used...
It only has to read 3 different txt files which are located on local network, containing 1 line of text each and display it under each other in portrait view.
Refresh ones a minute should be ok.
And it has to have a dropdown menu so you can choose which number of device it is, so from 1-10 is ok and according that read the txt files which belongs to that device nr.
I can't use a webpage because i cannot create a local server for it. So i need a little app.
To create the txt files i use a windows program.
I use Livecode (since short) but it can't create apps below Android froyo 2.2.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated. As i don't know anything about java.
It's only for local use, nothing commercial or anything
Thanks for any help on this!
You should try using PhoneGap (Cordova) http://phonegap.com which is basically a HTML-Webview, wrapped up in an App, so you can code the whole thing using JavaScript, and it is still a real app.
With this it should be very easy to do that, even if you "don't speak Java".
But to answer your initial question, yes it should be possible to create an Android App for 1.5.1 with Android Studio. You just need to install the right SDK/Packages etc with the SDK Manager.
Have fun coding.
I wrote a super simple android app for a conference using phonegap and jquery mobile. At the last minute, there was a room change. At the time, I had all of the info in the html file, so I could only update it by deploying a new version of the app and hoping everyone updated. How can I make this better for next time? I know I could store the info remotely in an xml file and download it, but I don't want to needlessly use up their data if nothing has changed. What is an efficient way to do this?
Thanks
Just have a super simple service which your app contacts every now and then if there are updates available and if so then download the new infos ... I would say ;-) More elaborate would be using some push services like parse.com offers.
You could host the project on a GIT or SVN repository, and then just tell them to check out/clone your project at the beginning of each session.
That way you can confirm and be sure that they are all running what you want them to run.
Okay here's the deal:
I want to download the full source of the MMS/SMS application that ships with Android phones. I want to be able to modify it, and add a little custom functionality to it.
I am developing using Eclipse, and I'm on Windows 7. I have noticed that there is now a Git for Windows, but I am pretty lost in it and not sure how to integrate everything with Eclipse.
Basically, I want to just get it to the point where I have all the source code visible in Eclipse and be able to see the app run JUST like the built-in texting/MMS app that is already on my phone. Then I'll know that I can modify it and proceed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
There's a mirror of the SMS/MMS app on GitHub here. Just import that to Eclipse and customise away.
Unless you want to customize and use it only on your own phone (without publishing), this is not a good idea. This is because it uses classes that are hidden from the sdk. By default you won't even be able to build the apk via eclipse, but there is a way. The reason why this is a bad idea is that the hidden apis are not guaranteed to remain the same through different api-levels and your app can stop working with the next android update, and might also not work on previous api-levels. In-fact your app might not even work on selected phones running the same api-level.
