I have an Android App and I would like to start putting non-intrusive advert into the app. However, I have the benefit of knowing exactly what products I would like to put in these adverts (which will basically be amazon "similar products" type things and a few other suppliers). Is there any ad-engine out there that will allow me to do this? The ones I see already just put what they think are suitable.
I have scoured and I can't find an example of this... Any ideas? Should I just bite the bullet and write my own classes to do this ?
Heh - I always seem to be answering my own questions- I don't do that deliberately but I figured if anybody else has the same Q then I might as well put it here.... Anyway, I've found an open source library called "AdWhirl" ( www.adwhirl.com ) which enables you to plug in your own adserver etc etc. I will be using / adapting this for my purposes... (or at least trying to).

I'm struggling to understand how am I meant to interact with the "graph" and "calculator" stuff from the mediapipe library. More specifically, I'd like to write some Android code that uses landmarks from the holistic (pose + hands in my case) solution, with the final goal of writing a flutter application that compiles both for Android and iOS.
I've managed to build a few of the sample apps (thanks to docker), and I think I roughly understand what the graphs do. However, I don't understand how to interact with them from within the code. The Hello World! for Android tutorial doesn't really explain this. There are examples that include this type of behaviour (e.g. here), but I don't really know where is all the required information coming from (e.g. how would I find out the right functions and string constants to get holistic landmarks?)
For example, in Python I could get data via something like holistic.process(image).pose_landmarks, and then compute e.g. position or angle of hips. And as far as I can see there are some similar Android API-s available, although not for all solutions - including holistic. So what if I don't want to wait for the API-s development, and want to use the graphs instead? That part is not so clear.
As a bonus, please do feel free to drop any links which further explain/document the "graph" and "calculator" stuff I've mentioned earlier, as I've not used anything like this before and find it a little difficult to google.
Thanks.
I've realised there are docs available: https://google.github.io/mediapipe/framework_concepts/framework_concepts.html
Not sure how I've missed this...
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.
Currently involved in a University project and could use any help from members regarding rootkits designed for Android.
I have little knowledge of Android malware and the project so far has got us decompiling apks to view the java class files (if readable) and the AndroidManfiest.xml file. I have also managed to root a phone in the uni lab using various adb commands and pushing files over to it.
What I would like to know is if it's relatively easy to spot malicious rootkit code within a class file? Is there something I can look out for? Is it a case of getting su status or does it involve adding users? Assume to next stage would be to then contact a server so the developer has remote access..
Also, is there a system or service that can process an apk to spot if it contains a rootkit (not just malicious)?
reply:
hi sorry about late reply - tried responding immediately but wasn't allowed as I'm new, but then forgot!
Thanks for the info! I appreciate that I may sound naive, but I guess I have to be seeing as I don't know anything about rootkits or the way they work..
You're right, they are not asking about 3rd party scanners, that was just my interest. So on that topic, are you saying there are scanners out there that specifically look for rootkits in a sample? Or is this detection all part of the overall AV service they offer.. If specific to rootkits alone, then I would really like to know which ones, so i can research them..
Also, with regards to exploitation of a bug - I assume you mean a bug within the Android OS? Would this mean that when patch updates are pushed out from Google then the rootkit is unable to function?
Thanks
A mallicious rootkit tries its best to get certain access, secretly. So any generalisations you make about how it does its business will probably be already worked around by any good rootkit.
"setting su status" is hardly worthy of being called a 'rootkit', that's just 'using root permissions' that you seem to have given the app. A rootkit would look for a way to actually get this without permission, by exploiting some sort of bug.
Systems of services that spot those things are commonly called virus and/or mallware scanners. Yes they exist.
Not to be negative, but this seems like a naive post about the subject, and probably not a good start for a project: I'd say using a 3rd party malware scanner is probably not wat is asked?
You could, for instance, look for known exploit-methods. One that for some reason comes to mind is the overflow, but that's just a random thing. Read up on rootkits, their methods, heuristics to find them etc.
I'm looking for something similar to the OS X / iOS NSOutlineView, basically a class which encapsulates something like a table which is also hierarchical and allows opening and closing of subordinate parts of the outline. So far I have been unsuccessful in my search, even on developer.android.com, which leads me to believe that maybe Android does not have such a thing. However, this seems hard to believe, given how ubiquitous outlines and hierarchical structures are. Am I missing something, or how is something like this generally done on the Android platform? How would one port code relying on such a construct to Android?
Hi Michael have a look on my implementation an android counterpart of the NSOutlineView based on the RecyclerViewAdapter.

Peace up
Ok so I am starting off with android development and I have found a bunch of useful tutorials so I am set there. What I am looking for is a resource that provides homework style problems to do and has the answers downloadable so I can check my solution against the "official" solution.
So for example instead of the notepad tutorial it would be: "Build an application that you can create, edit, delete notes, ...etc.". Ideally the "official" solution would have some explanation as to why they built it the way they did. (so a tutorial at the tail end)
Anyone know of any resources that provide their tutorials in this format?
Thanks.
Okay, here's one: build me an app that allows the user to make, modify, and store notes. The 'official' answer is the Notepad app in the 9th level of the api. (Note that this is different from the notepad tutorial).
The point is that asking questions is easy, the harder part is actually making a program that does the job. And #Roflecoptr is right, at this level it can be implemented very differently. But if you want that mindset, you can write your own 'homework' easily. Just think up a few things you want that are simple, build it, does it do what you want well? Then you pass.
Despite for very trivial problems I dont think this is possible, because there are way to much possible implementation possibilites so that you can't compare your solution to the "official" solution.
But why do you need something like that? If you want to learn to program on Android, you can just follow some tutorials you've already found and then modify them, adapt them to your needs. When you get more used to the development of Android apps you can just get some ideas on tutorials/android development sites and then implement your own solution. There is plenty of help available here on SO and on other development sites, which will help you if you really get stuck.
You could always go to the Android Samples page, and without looking at their implementations, do your own and compare. The samples page is here:
