I am writing and publishing my apps on android and would like to provide help document (manual) to users of my apps. I've seen apps open up external web pages as their help, or use html view to open local html documents. Are these the ways we are supposed to deliver manual to our users?
Are these the ways we are supposed to
deliver manual to our users?
You can do whatever you want:
Use WebView directly for local content
Use Browser directly for remote content (e.g., Web site of documentation)
Publish your manual in EPUB and load it into one of the available EPUB readers, if the user has one installed
Publish your manual in PDF and load it into one of the available PDF readers, if the user has one installed
Use VideoView directly for local (or remote) "screencast" style instructions
and so on.
However, there is no built-in dedicated "help framework" in Android. If you wish to make a name for yourself in the world of Android, consider writing one.
Or, consider writing your apps so there is no need for help content. Obviously, not always possible, especially for highly targeted apps, but you can certainly eliminate a lot of help material with a correctly designed application.

I have developed Android application (Application somewhat social media type and this is the first application I have developed) and in that there is a feature to upload images by users.
So my question is if any user uploaded any copyrighted or offensive image then who is responsible for it? User or owner of the application developer (in this case me)?
Is there any 3rd party tools needed to scan or verify the images?
Short Answer: Write "Disclaimer"
If you are developing web application which users can upload photos and share them in anywhere they want, you can take those photos' copyrights with yourself or make your users to take that responsibility.
This is where you have to write "Disclaimer" for your application before you give the users access to use your system let them accept your term and conditions and disclaimer so they should be informed that they have responsibility on what they upload.
Also you can have a reporting option where the victim can report the incident so you can review that and delete the particular content from your site.
Is there any 3rd party tools needed to scan or verify the images?
Yes, there are many but how are you going to ensure that the image has copyrights ?
Better, you should be able to catch any of your users on this case.

I want to implement screen sharing functionality in my app like we use team viewer.
I search a lot for third party tool.
One tool i have worked is opentok(Tolkblox). But it want give exact facility like Team viewer and its sample example is also not work like a screen shring should be.
I don't find any third party tool for this requirement.
If anyone any idea regarding this then please reply for the same.
Screen capturing and sharing in Android 5.0
You have the possibility with Android 5.0 to use the android.media.projection for screen sharing. But I don't know if this fits your needs.
Android 5.0 lets you add screen capturing and screen sharing capabilities to your app with the new android.media.projection APIs. This functionality is useful, for example, if you want to enable screen sharing in a video conferencing app. For more see this.
Team Viewer SDK
You can also use the SDK from TeamViewer. As far as I know, with this you can also remotely control the other device.
I hope I did understand your question right and this helps you a bit.

This might sound like a duplicate question but trust me its not.
I have an Android app. It contains WebView to display webpages. Now I am planning to go live with the app on ios too. Now having two different codes and maintaining them is a difficult task.
Is there a way I can develop app in both the platforms with minimum maintenance issues. With minimum maintenance I mean more reusable code that can be use on both the platforms.
I have heard that it can be done using Chromium Project but am unable to find supporting docs for the same on internet.
Any suggestions?? or reference materials??
For what I know there is no way you could use your Java code and the XML files (including your WebView) in IOS application. the language/platform are different.
What you could do is to develop a web application that looks as a mobile application for example using JQueryMobile and the export it using the already suggested PhoneGap framework to any platform you would like.
You should try one of the several frameworks out there, being PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com) an interesting option.

I have a full collection of many thousand of pdf files on my Nexus 10, and I really would like to be able to search through them: for example looking for all the pdfs that contains the word "stackoverflow" ;) . Many apps in the markets allow to filter the pdf database by date, title etc, and many of them provide a search function... but for a single pdf only. Do you have any idea ? Many thanks
I just found an app that searches within multiple files (I too have hundreds of technical PDFs): Andro Search, finally! I've been looking for years myself.
You could use Evernote, too (some cloud storage providers also have this capability, but it would take me hours to upload all my files and, I don't use them anyway).
There is now a second, possibly better solution: Librera Reader.
Librera Reader PRO does not created a huge cache file and is still very fast (relatively speaking). Look for the search feature in the settings area.
I assume you want to write an app to do this for you then? What you'll need to do is either set the folder to search or recursively search through the file system on your nexus and check for PDF files. You'll then need to use a library like PDFbox to search the text. There's a decent tutorial here
Please note that this will be fairly slow but it is a straightforward solution.

I would like to build an Android app showing a dashboard with many different graphical indicators. Have you already used a library containing these items?
Can anyone help me in this?
Thanks in advance and greetings
c.
One approach you could take is to create your gauges and dashboard using CSS, HTML, and JavaScript which would be stored locally in your application's assets folder. You can then use a WebView to display them.
WebView.addJavaScriptInterface [(link)][1] will allow you to pass data between your Android Java code and the JavaScript dashboard.
The reason I suggest this is that I think you will find more options for the graphical indicators if you look for JavaScript/HTML/CSS based ones. Here are a couple examples:

If this is done well, the user would not be able to tell that your UI is not made with native widgets. If you decide to go down this path, you may also want to consider using a framework like PhoneGap to help with the Java <-> JavaScript communications.

Android has a Widget API allowing developers to create widgets that sit on the home screen and present the user with information. Are you looking for information on how to code a widget or are you looking to just download them?
