Database Develop

Copy and paste

I hope this hasn't been asked but I can't seem to figure it out.

It's not just you; it's one of the features that isn't here now. Remember this ROM was designed for an eReader (the great thing is, with all the development, it's easy to forget). There are a couple apps in the market that try to replicate copy/paste using OCR, they might be worth trying until we get a custom ROM.

We need a custom rom like yesterday!!

The above was copied and pasted from your post on my NookColor. It turned rom into ronn, but that can easily be corrected.
I got the Copy Paste It app from the market (on mine, I had to check the setting to rotate screen clockwise or it would rotate it). It keeps an option to open it in the notification bar. Click on it when you need it and copy the text you want (it processes it as an image and uses OCR text recognition). There's a trial version of the app.
Now there's no way to paste natively, so you're going to need to be using a keyboard with a paste function. I'm using SlideIT, which has an option to paste on the special characters layout. Press paste and it's there!
Obviously this is clunkier than Android copy/ paste, but it's a working solution while we're on the stock NookColor ROM.

Google Docs

Any word on a Google docs app? Trying to take notes on the browser version was not ideal last night. I don't know why Google hasn't invested more into Google docs on android...
Just wondering if there was any news on development of this app for honeycomb.

You can try GDocs app, it allows you create, edit, view, import, export and send documents as well sync documents with your Google Docs account.

I'd imagine that Google will give us a Docs tablet version, like the gmail app...but when? Who knows.
Until something solid comes, the Docs Mobile website is working for me, but it ain't pretty.

I purchased Documents To Go and PrintShare Pro. Now I can edit, create and share my Google Docs AND Print them from work or home. I just wish there was a way for DTG to put printing as an option. It would have saved me some $$$.

Documents to go works well on xoom? Or should I wait for quick office?

It works great for me too!

DocumentsToGo works great for word docs, but spreadsheets don't work. The spreadsheet will pull up, but as soon as you enter text into a cell it will randomly copy that text to other cells in the spreadsheet. Additionally, if you attempt to open a spreadsheet you'll see that the data from a group of cells is randomly copied to other cells. Spreadsheets in DocumentsToGo on honeycomb are essentially useless.

I paid for Docs to Go, and quite frankly, I hate it. Google Docs (desktop version) is awesome, and strangely works horribly on our browsers. Google really needs to put more of an effort into getting all their services available and ready when they release a "Google Experience Device" of this caliber, especially one people will buy with the intent of being able to do some real mobile office/school work. I am really hoping they have a Gmail-like Google Docs app in the works for their new Honeycomb users...

Can you provide an example spreadsheet? Better yet send one to the d2g developer. I have not dealt with any complicated spreadsheets but sure have not seen anything like what you describe.

there was a fix in the market for docs 2 go today...it said something about spreadsheets...did u get it?

Powerpoint editing

Hey folks I made a powerpoint slide at work and emailed to myself to edit on xoom thinking that documents to go app would be able to but I cannot edit powerpoint or excel docs. Only word docs and yes I have purchased the key to unlock app. Any thoughts?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I don't know anything about this app, but it does say that it supports both .ppt and .pptx on the market page, so try to contact the developer about it. If it doesn't work, they must refund you.

Password protected?
Note: Office 2007/2008 password protected documents are not currently supported and cannot be opened with Documents To Go.

No it is not password protected.

I was able to edit a .pptx file from work with no problems other than that it was hard to see where the cursor is. This slide had graphics but no animation. I hope you find a solution soon.

FYI I'm able to edit spreadsheets with no problem on my Xoom. App is capable of completing task, I would start with the format of the file and email you are sending yourself.

I would get quick office HD. Love it so far editing documents. Haven't tried powerpoints yet.

ICS PDF Reader

Is there an app where I can read PDF's? I tried adobe reader and it didn't allow me to download it unfortunately. I need it!

Where is my G Nexus?

Ics built-in document viewer does the job for me. I don't think you need any reader for PDF

Agree, I've been able to open all of the PDFs I download using the built in document reader.

anyone can post the apk? thanks
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

agreed, not sure what apk is handling it, but if you are running ICS, just open a pdf and it should either launch it automatically or let you pick it and set default. Just shows as Document Viewer. its actually quicker than other pdf viewers i've used on gb.

can i print emails?

Hi
Just set up my work pop email all OK but can't find a print button to send to wireless printer!?!?!
Am I missing something or is this not something I can do?

I use an app called PrinterShare that does a nice job.

You'll wanna use something like "print share" app. I fill out real estate contracts on my tablet sometimes and it let's me print not only to any printer on the current WiFi network but also to any printer that has the client software running on it. Well worth the few bucks IMO.

Epson and Brother (maybe others) have free apps if you have one of those brands.

Does anyone know if I could send email to a pdf printer (to generate a pdf file). I want this as I can use pdf annotator to make additional notes to my emails.

This is probably the ONLY thing I've NEVER done with an Android tablet [yet].
My SIII has support for Printing, but it's unclear if Samsung did something or pre-installed some app to enable this... It would be nice if the OS just did this natively, I'm surprised you have to install an app, but that sounds simple enough... Damn, maybe I should be making printer apps instead of security apps, eh?
