Ok, so my wife works in cardiology, and she was looking for a good medical application to help her through the day. There is a very small Drug Reference App, but not what she's looking for. Epocrates (sp?) is an app built for WM, Palm Pre/Treo, and Blackberry, but no Android support.
My main question is:
Is it possible to port this app to android, or build it?
...BUMP.....
Thread Bump....
It is not really feasible to port the app without the help of the company who created the original application. Your best bet is to contact them and tell them you are looking for an android port. If they see enough demand perhaps they will port it.
I don't believe Epocrates has developed an app, but go to Unbound Medicine and almost their entire suite of apps is available for Android.

Not to mention i'm sure Epocrates, Inc. would not be pleased if you went about porting their applications without their permission. As noted above, best way is probably to demonstrate to Epocrates, Inc. that there is a demand for an Android version.
Right on, thats all I needed to know! Thanks
I surely agree with what JanetPanic and jashsu had to say here. It is really not good to port without their permission, but does Epocrates give this facility is a question when they do not have Android support.

Only seen KeePass Droid so far. It looks like you need to create initial database on a pc and download to device, but should good when its complete. They have versions for winmo, blackberry, symbian so think it wont be long before its fully functional.
I e-mailed Ilium about eWallet, loved that one on WinMo, but they don't really have any plans for android at this point
keepass droid seems nice, getting tan-lists working takes quite a while (tan-wizard in kp2, export to kp1, export to kp droid...) but now everything works great, thanks for the tip
Have anyone tried SplashId for Android?

Hi!
Do you know any PGP/GPG application for android? I would like to read my PGP encrypted emails on Hero.

I've emailed Developer One to see if they have any plans for an Android version of Code Wallet.
Will update with reply.
Edit : email reply "At this time we are not planning it, maybe in the future."
eWallet
I got this reply from Ilium Software on August 12th:
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting Ilium Software. We are planning a solution for Android, but we don't yet have a final plan. I'll pass your request to our developers!"
I used eWallet for many years on Windows and it's the program I miss the most now, along with a divX player.

Ditto that, I will contact Illium too - the more people do that, the more likely the port will be.

install debian and use that to find programs to read them, e.g. i use mutt and gpg on my computer.
Try B-Folders, looks like a very nice app, it's free and their planning a desktop version with full sync as well. Encryption looks OK too!
This back from Ilium on 31st August:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Ilium Software. We are investigating our options for eWallet on Android, but we don't yet have a final plan. I'll pass your request to our developers!
Thanks again for contacting us and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions,

I'm looking at B-folders at the moment, but ewallet is very good.
If KeePass is not your solution (it is mine ), you might want to try "Keeper" which is a free Android App with (paid) Win/Mac/Linux clients. However, I don't know if it covers advanced functionality like TANs really well...
Spb Wallet (and not only) for Android
Spb Software House has started to develop some (useless) application for Android, as Spb TV and Spb Geo Game.
We hope that in future also begin to develop some program more useful, such as the excellent Spb Wallet.

Hey
Is there any way known to mankind, to port an Apple (iPhone/iTouch) app to "the better OS", Android?
I am looking for this app to run on the android and interacts with my Pioneer NAV....
Any ideas or places to start?
Thanks
Different languages. You would have to completely remake the app.
or write a wrapper around it. Not that i think it'll be possible like that...
thanks.....
Thanks guys - appreciated.
...Or contact the supplier (Pioneer). Which I did and they "will look into it" - Yeah right!

blackberry version
They've released a Blackberry version of the AVIC feeds which would be written in Java so a port shouldn't be all that hard.
Thanks......

That is a good catch. Although I think the code would be licensed to Pioneer - but as least we know it could be done.....(but who would know, right....shhhhhh)
Now if I can just get a developer on it - I'm a few things, but not that....
Anybody interested to help with this?
x2 on the avic feeds for droid. would love to have this on my hd2 which is better than any iphone imho! even if it were a windows app but now that i have jumped on the droid wagon how badass would that be!
Any word on this? I would love to have this functioning! Got a Z110bt with the Z120bt software\bluetooth update and love it.
AVIC FEEDS for Windows Phone
I was able to write a version of AVIC FEEDS for Windows Phone. It turned out to be pretty easy. You simply create a contact with the GPS coordinates in the name using Pioneer's special encoding. Then the contacts are synced via Bluetooth and you can click on them on the head unit to start directions.
Does anyone have the need for a Windows Phone version? I can send out a link to beta testers and if I get enough interest I can publish it on the marketplace.
I don't know anything about developing for Android but if anyone else does, I can help with the logistics of how the app needs to work in order to function with the Pioneer head unit.
It would be awesome if someone ported the app to android. Hope a Dev has an interest in it?
I have gone ahead and published the app. I can't post a link to it because I'm new but you can search for "AVIC FEEDS" in the Windows Phone Marketplace.
Hopefully an Android dev out there can check out my source code and port it as well.
any uopdates on this?
Anyone here can port TRUE CRYPT to Android? I am ready to donate if anyone can do this.
Even a basic program that can encrypt and decrypt SD card, at least the external SD card would be acceptable. This way we can be assured that data on the external SD card is secure, and store documents on that.
I looked for something along the same lines for a while, tried every app I could find on the market that was related, but none of them came anywhere near truecrypt's functionality.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate.
Current rom: Perception b8
Agreed. If anyone could get an app that could atleast encrypt the whole external card, I'm good. Don't even want the functionality of mounting n dismounting as a drive.

I would LOVE, I repeat LOVE, if TrueCrypt came out for Android.

It's the only application I can't find alternative on Android. I need a port of TrueCrypt or FreeOTFE very much!
I think we could start a bounty for anyone who can do this.

This is the place where people can post what they want. Please feel free to post on this forum too, as it would be seen by android dev folks.
It would be super awesome if they ported it to the Android platform. In my experience, BB 9700 is a truly secure device with its full AES-256 encryption. I used to use it before i got my Captivate so i can def say i miss that feature.

Truecrypt has an dedicated forum, I would say ikt would make a lot of sense to go their and propose realistic outlines/requirements of what we expect from a TC version for Android. There seem to be a lot of folks who cling to the notion of "if it is important do not put it in a handset with a Google OS because Google kis teh evil".
Voice your opinions and needs there, maybe that makes a difference.

i am already following abt android security on google forums
Is google down?
Software is called Truecrypt. Surprisingly it has an official website, truecrypt.org. Checking that one out you find a blue box on top which has a simple text link going to the forums.
http://forums.truecrypt.org
really not that hard to find. Linking the actual thread won't do anything either way cause you need to sign up for full access. Once you are, just use in site search with the term Android or something.

How interested are you guys, really?
Hello,
My name is Isaac and I am here to find out what developers and publishers find useful as far as reviews of their mobile applications. I have just finished developing a website that totally caters smartphone applications. It is non-platform specific so if you develop for Iphone, Droid, blackberry, etc.. then your apps could be listed at the site.
What I am looking to get out of this is to find out what information developers want to get from end users the most. This way I can configure the review site so it can get the most useful information to developers. Thus giving developers the info they need to concentrate on what is more important to their target audience.
So I hope some of this interest and lets get talking, what are important questions you like to see answered in reviews
come on guys, help me out, what are things that you found most important when getting reviews of your applications?
If someone reviewed my mobile app, I'd like to know about a couple of things like:
Ease of use,
Functionality,
If usage of app can provide a longterm solution,
and/or if the user was satisfied with the app all around.

Hi,
First of all before developing any application, I check the user requirement. As you know people want different type of applications. So I collect the user opinion from different places. Then I develop an application according to user requirement. After completing the application, I post my application reviews on different mobile based forums and get some feedback.

So basically if you have an idea for an app you then question potential users for what they would like to see and then build something from that?
Any particular questions you post on the forums that you feel gives you best info?
I always look for a decent star rating from those before me and also read through the developer description. If it seems useful I get it and worse case you just end up deleting it later. The main thing that makes an app flourish in the market is it's star rating and number of downloads.
But honestly, there are already several similar sites. I guess it will be really hard for you to build a big user base for your website. Other players are already in the market for a few years. And they are all free...
Maybe it is a better approach that the devs do not have to upload the app to you page but that you just allow the users to "request features" and you can allow them to vote for features. This could provide a feedback to the developer of the most important missing/demanded features. Maybe there is a chance to contact the developers via one of the google apis for marketplace once you have significant feedback from your users for a specific application...

Yes there are many similar sites, mostly concentrating on a particular platform though. Which to me makes no sense since a lot of developers want to make apps for different platforms . But you make a good point allow users to vote on proposed features that the developer is thinking of working on so they know what users really want and would likely buy for.
New to the community & Android development. Please direct me in the right direction.
Hello, I'm new to the Android community. I have prior programming experience and I have made apps through Unity and have successfully published them on the Google Play store and competing app stores. I decided that I want to write native Android apps.... so here I am.
The problem:
I want to create a very simple app. It is a simple messaging app, just like the messaging in Snapchat. It is not like other text messaging apps where you are given a number and you can text anyone you want, even if they don't have the app. That is not my goal.
1. You must have the app
2. You do not get a new number. You get to choose a new username only.
This is the goal of the app. The question is... what libraries and APIs do I have to use? Are there any good tutorials on this subject? And the most important question is, would I have to buy any servers or something? Do I have to spend any money for this to work or can this work with the user's cell connection? I don't want to purchase anything / servers. Is this possible?
I'm sorry for the lack of knowledge, but I am aiming to improve myself! Thank you very much for the read.
Hello,
Messaging infrastructure needs a server to centralize users accounts, messages and users status.
You can find low cost VPS servers, but it's not free.
Sincerely.
