Is it mandatory to have EULA for free android applications on Android Market. I 'm going to upload a free android application on Android Market. Since I 'm new to the process to uploading application to android market could anyone tell me why EULA is needed ?
I don't think it says anywhere that a EULA is needed, but rather that they just recommend using one. That said, I'm distributing two apps on the Market and don't have a EULA for either. I'm pretty sure that Android users have to agree to a general EULA about the market before being able to download anything, and this EULA contains the general statements about not stealing and "It's not our fault if something bad happens".
Here is an example: https://web.archive.org/web/20130205134238/http://www.developer-resource.com/sample-eula.htm

I know, it's silly, but a client was telling us that having required input fields on an app will result in the app being rejected for approval on both Android and iOS app stores.
Besides the fact that there are tons of apps that require user account registration and stuff, I figured it'd be silly to even verify it by research but of course, to be sure, I did research about it, but as I expected, I was not able to find even one relevant result.
Since it will cause problems with app development, I decided to ask here to confirm.
Does anybody know of such rule when submitting apps to the Google Play Store or App Store?
I apologize in advance for what I know is a very silly question, but I humbly ask for confirmation.
Thank you very much in advance!
No, in Android we don't have this rule, so you can use input fields in your application without worrying.

I have uploaded an Android App on Google Play Store and with a search today i can see this: http://www.androidappsgame.com/library-quiz/el
How come that my android app is uploaded to androidappsgame.com without my permission?
Any ideas?
This may or may not help, but make sure to check that first box in your console
The app is NOT on that store. That store is an aggregate site that grabs info from Google Play and makes it searchable. And it's not a very good one at that.
For the record, all of my apps are there too. I just looked. Even my newest ones are there.
You don't need to worry about anyone taking your app from Play and making it available elsewhere. It's just not gonna happen. And even if it did, 99% of devices out there have the system secured so you can't install stuff like that anyway.

I'm developing an Android app and publishing it in Google Market. The problem is that the difference between v1.x and v2.x is huge, and like most products I wouldn't like to automatically provide Major upgrade for free for user of v1.
Is there any way to "separate" the payment for v1 and v2, and provide "upgrade license" for users of v1?
I must say admins on this forum are idiots, closed for a reason: "Questions on Stack Overflow are expected to generally relate to programming or software development in some way". How is it not related to software development? :)
Upgrades nope; kind of irritating that the market has no option for coupon codes or developer discounts etc. but that's the way it currently is.
Kind of a hack, but you could leave the name the same and add Pro or Plus and change your package name so for instance
com.myapplication.v1
becomes
com.myapplication.v2
Then to promote it you can use admobs inhouse promotion facility (assuming you have put admob v1) it's not perfect but it would work, then just turn on the add when you are ready with a new version.
An alternative is to structure the newer application so that the new features are in app payments, that would probably be the most user friendly approach, let them use them for N days then shut them down and offer the users the ability to pay for the newer features
I have also not looked at their licensing service much, it might be possible to do something with that I suppose but I suspect not.

please anyone guide me for the steps to consider to avoid rejection of android applications at app store
Assuming that you mean Android Market and not Apple's app store (where I imagine every Android app would be rejected), then you simply need to conform to the Developer Program Policies and Developer Distribution Agreement.
Android apps don't go through an approval process, first thing.
Secondly, there are some things your app shouldn't be doing to avoid being killed by Google. For example, your app shouldn't contain the following things:
Explicit(Vulgar) content
Violence
Hate Speech
Impersonation
Stealing personal information
Gambling
UPDATE
Ohh, Ted has already posted a nice answer. please follow those links.

How do you improve the position of an app in Android Market search results? The apps don't seem to be sorted on downloads.
Edit: The scope of this question is limited to working with the Android Market search engine, of which there's little or no information. I changed the title to make it clearer.
:-)
Make an app everyone wants, that gets high user ratings and lots of downloads
Update your app frequently, since it shows up at the top in the "Just in"-tab on every update
Use your Social Media Network (Create Facebook groups, start promoting smart on Twitter). Set up a user wiki where everyone can add content, discuss your app and get a real buzz around it.
Buy Google listings
Create a Blog discussing the app and its outstanding performance
EDIT: Almost forgot: Your app should be free, with a possibility to go pro (= paid).
I would add to the answers:
make your app in a way that can be extended with plugins by 3rd party coders, that means they create and submit their apps to the Market as extensions to your app, and that will raise the results
