I am developing a windows phone app. I want same design and structure in all xaml pages of windows phone as they are in an android app. Is there any easiest way of doing this?

There are a special msdn pages for you - Android to Windows Phone API Mapping Tool, Windows Phone 7 for Android Application Developers and Leveraging your Android development Expertise to Build Windows Phone Applications Blog Post.
Direct porting is not possible as far as I know.

You're going to need a cross platform development suite or sdk. There are some out there that target the major platforms like iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8. Some include Appcelerator, Marmalade, and Xamarin. But most of them cost money. Check this link for more.

First of all i have to mention that it is against design guidelines, but you can do as you wish.
Now you have to decide: Hybrid app or native?
If hybryd:
XAMARIN - C# logic and native UI - you have to know something from each platform
PhoneGap - HTML + CSS but you will find many other problems
If native:
Yes, you can do it XAML allows you to build you'r control as complicated as you'r imagination alows you to...
I had an experience in developing native C#+XAML application on windows phone, that should be at least 90% the same design - and all went good.
And the easies way will be to use style resources for your app, you will create/modify control once, and then just add style to same controls, in example:
You want same button color, form, focus state, pressed state as Android.
1) Just modify the default button template
2) Make this style as a global resource
3) Apply to every button you want

I'm new to iOS/Android development so I would like to know what is the usual practice of developing an app for different platforms - is the whole code rewritten or the possibilities are used to choose some language, C or C++ for example, and keep most of the work in this language and then cover it with system specific stuff in corresponding language? I know about Android NDK and having C/C++ code in your iOS app, but the question is - is this usually used in practice - maybe later some other platforms might be added? The classical example would be the Angry Birds, of course, which I have even on my "smart" TV. Would be good to hear guys experienced in this area since I might be in the middle of making a decision. Thanks!

You should go check out the Xamarin studio. It allows you to write code in C# and reuse up to 80% of your code between the platforms. They have some videos and tutorials for how to best write code that can be reused.

You might try Qt framework as it's native to Symbian, officially ported to Android, and unofficially ported to iOS and Blackberry. It's a C++ IDE at http://qt.nokia.com
Better yet, if you're into that kinda thing, try PhoneGap here: http://phonegap.com/ This will allow you to write your "app" code in HTML.... yes, HTML, and port it to just about anything. Things that are normally OS-dependent are basically wrapped in PhoneGap's API including hardware: http://phonegap.com/about/feature/

THe classical example would be angry birds? I've either hit a time warp to 20 years in the future, or you're thinking way too small.
But yes, it is quite common to write the majority of logic in C or C++ and just write system specific stuff and/or UI in the native language.

There are several cross-platform solutions on the market. Some of them use Java and C#, they usually are integrated with the common SDKs (such as Visual Studio, Eclipse). Some of them allow to easily develop and distribute web-apps using HTML5, Css3 and jQuery combination.
You can just surf for them on the net. I suppose it's not allowed to mention them here. If I'm wrong I will post the name of some of the most known solutions that I tried.

Is there any best way for implemeting Object Recognition in android?
I tried to implement object recognition(Face tracking) in my project using OpenCV library, But I have a problem with openCV when I run this application on my device it require to install OpenCV Manager in your device.
I just wanted to know is there any way to do object recognition without install any external application or supporting file in device.

Or you could try the FaceDetector class. Its available since API Level 1.

Try attach native libraries for OpenCV to your project and use OpenCVLoader.initDebug(); to initialization.

I am just starting to develop using Phonegap and Android..
I would like to know,
if I have a button on the HTML page, would that button be able to call a native function?
For instance lets say i want the button to open up the calendar and pass variables from the html form
I am total newbie when it comes to Android native and HTML5
Please help

You basically need to call a javascript code on button click and write your own phonegap plugin to call native functionality.

yes it is possible you can call java codes from java script in phonegap.see here

FTP Client for android? [duplicate]

Can anyone provide me a fully working code for a FTP Client for Android?
After searching I have found that there is no built in library for Android FTP.

I would suggest looking through open source repositories to give you a head start, which I assume you're looking forward.
Here's one I found in about a minute of searching https://github.com/samterer/AndroidFTP. Looking at the implementation it looks like its in working condition but I have no idea really. I'll leave that up to you. Be sure to give credit where credit is due in your work.
