Making your Own Android Apps

February 4th, 2010 Admin No Comments »

Making your own apps for a mobile phone is a very appealing concept. Of course, not all platforms allow this type of thing, which is why when Google released the Android operating system and platform, third party app creators threw happy fits of hysteria! Google Android certainly does deliver all of the goodies that one would expect on a platform that allows the creation of apps but I believe that Google has even taken it a step further by allowing users access to key Google libraries, such as Google maps.

If you do not fully understand the power behind what Google has given us as mobile phone users and app creators, then let me just expand upon this point for a moment. By giving us access to programs like Google maps, Android can allow us to create amazing apps that are geographically accurate and up to date! Gone are the days where addresses and places were exactly that - addresses and so called places. With Google maps, you can bring up a location right on the map, click on them, and gather all kinds of information for them. It is also through maps like this that you are able to scan items and find them in stores and then find the location of the stores right on Google maps in your phone!

The possibilities here are endless, which is why Android needs to be praised for giving us such flexibility to be creative. It is all a part of open-sourcing, and it is still open ground! Who knows how far it will go, and how much better it will get. There are so many good ideas right now floating around, that is it hard for everyone to follow them all. But just wait, in time, open source programs like Android won’t be so rare, and we will wonder why someone had not thought of it before and it will all be thanks to a little program we call Google Android.

New Google Android App - CompareEverywhere

December 21st, 2009 Admin No Comments »

This is an app for your Google Android phone that will no doubt come in handy for those of you who enjoy shopping. The developer of the app, whose name is Jeffrey Sharkey, says that he got the idea for the app when he saw store employees scanning items on the shelves for inventory. With a simple scan, their handsets would bring up all kinds of information - from prices, to how many of the items they had, to what the prices have been for quite some time now. It was then that he asked himself - why can’t Android users have the same power on their mobile phones? So, he went to work and soon CompareEverywhere, also known as AndroidScan, became a reality.

With this app, you simply use the camera on the phone to scan barcodes of pretty much any product that has a barcode. The app will then show you an entire host of facts about the item, including local stores that carry the item, a map of how to get to those stores, and by clicking on the stores, it will show you individual product information as shown by that store. You can also get driving directions, or even the telephone number of the store so that you can make sure that they have it before driving to get it!

Android applications you must have while traveling

December 10th, 2009 Admin 1 Comment »

Android is an operating system or an OS, that is owned by Google, a consumer favorite, and used to operate phones.  It’s every other phone service’s answer to Apple’s operating system and the ever popular iPhone.  Google has an agreement with Verizon to enable new Verizon phones to run on this network but Verizon is not the only phone company to use this operating system.  Sprint also uses Android in conjunction with its Now Network and T-moblie as well as AT&T have phones out that are using this system, too.  Kyocera is coming out with a phone on the Adroid operating system next year.

As with many other operating systems, whether on phones or on computers, one of the must-haves for the system is the ability to play games.  Since Android is the answer to the iPhone, the ability to use applications, or apps, is very important. Apps can be anything from something very useful in a person’s every day life - like the ability to turn the phone into a giant alarm clock to something that is played with just for fun - like the Android application Mahjong Solitare, which is in 3-D and is a calming puzzle game that is a classic computer game.  Due to the great difference in types; there is a very large selection of applications.  Listed below are some of the best according to users of the Android operating system.

The Best and Worst Free Android Games

November 9th, 2009 Admin No Comments »

The users of HTC Magic, T-Mobile G1, and other Android phones will be happy to know that are many Android Market games to download, and they are all free.  So, the following will tell you which games to play and which games are just a waste of time.

Mahjong.  This Japanese matching game stays true to the original.  However, the only device compatible with Mahjong is the touchscreen.  Because the images are so small, it is unfortunately too difficult to use, unless you have small, thin fingers.

Mem.  This memory game is much like Simon Says.  You must choose the correct icons displayed as fast as you can.  Unlike Mahjong, it works great with touchscreens, and Mem makes some cool, crazy sounds.  But, as far as long-term playability goes, this game does not have that appeal. (more…)

With the new Android out, apps are one thing that is on everybody’s mind. How will they work? Will there be some good ones? Will they make my phone better, or will they be cheesy?
