Hey community
someone recently asked me per email how i do ROM Development.
i prefer to use Android Studio, but it doesnt fully support all, as some internal and hidden api's are just not visible.
This video shows you, how to expose these features and make use of them while coding
for example, if you implement new Methods and Constants etc, android studio wont pick them up and display them by default.
with doing this little trick, it does.
i think its really usefull, but decide yourself
oh, before i forget, sorry for the bad video, im just bad at recording

I'm not sure if this should be placed under Themes and Apps or here but...
I started a thread a few months ago concerning a proprietary video player that Sony used for their Location Free Player devices. Well...
The software code has now been moved to open source status and is free for full linux development. I'm hoping I can convince one of you savvy developers to whip up the player so it can run on either Android or a full linux OS (I use Ubuntu). I'm sure it's a gold mine for tons of other video streaming applications that could potentially run on our device.
The link to the open source code can be found here along with other Sony open projects.
http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/
Location Free TV is the program I'm specifically talking about. I believe the current version is LFA-PC30. If you would like to read more on this device/player you can check the wiki at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LocationFree_Player
Let me know if anyone has any questions, I very eager to see if this is possible. If I could stream video from my Location Free Player Base I to either my android device or Ubuntu Netbook I would be very very pleased. If a dev is serious I would be more than happy to have them test on my base station. PM or email me if you're interested!
Also, please move to the correct thread if this is in the incorrect area.
As the title says, I heard it was "almost done" like 3 months ago. Anyone hear anything about it?
I have heard that it was almost done a couple of times. People saying that it is a silverlight issue and it will not stream on Linux have obviously never used a ROKU before. It is a linux media center type box that streams Netflix fine. But if you look at the source it says that it contains MS code, etc, etc.
If someone was smart enough they might be able to take the ROKU source and make it work, but it is probably not possible.
Anyway more than likely MS wants to get Netflix streaming on its own platform before Android to help drive sales. Once they feel like letting Google use their code they will try to license it to them. Google may not want to pay this license. Otherwise Google would have to write it from scratch which they are probably trying to do. I have seen several Linux and Android video streaming jobs posted over the last year or so.
Your best bet will probably be Skyfire. If they ever add Silverlight storage then it will probably work. They have even said on thier forums that they know what to-do to make it work but they are not there yet. Lets just hope if they ever make it work Netflix does not block them like Hulu keeps doing.
I have Silverlight for Mac, so I would think MS would not have a problem with a Silverlight for Android - the give the client away to encourage server side development.
There was an article on CNET a few months back that pegged the launch of Silverlight on Android for the Professional Developer Conference in Las Vegas. Hopefully a Netflix app would be released alongside.

silverlight for android was already announced, or if you're real impatient, we can move to something more open-source friendly like Moonlight
There is a Netflix streaming app for iOS, which is also linux based I believe. So I don't know that this is the issue.

iOS is not linux based. it is BSD (which is a *NIX-like environment) based, just like OS X and Darwin. development may be similar, but won't be the same (which is why you can't just run an OS X application on linux). silverlight for mac already existed for a while, meaning MS already had development of a BSD version of silverlight that could be ported over to iOS in a similar fashion.
and while it's been shown that some tools can work cross-platform between iOS and android (look at the modifications to flash for android for iOS to get Frash), that was a framework/plugin that was very buggy at best.
to the best of my knowledge, there is no TRUE port of silverlight for linux based systems. the closest we have is the moonlight open source project (incorporated with the Mono project, open source version of .NET for linux). I haven't used Netflix on either the iPad or iPhone, so I can't say for certain if they even USE silverlight in those platforms. They may have just encoded everything as variable bit-rate mp4's which are compatible on almost every smartphone and the application is just a front-end to tie to your account for DRM purposes.
Based on what I've seen today it still has no:
- system dictionary for definition lookup(only for predictive text). The Kindle App does nothing when I press & hold on a word, unlike on my iOS device.
- hi-speed media scrubber for music. you know the little round knob on the progress bar that allows you to move the time index to any point in a song or video.
- unified search aka Local Search(apps, music, videos, contacts, emails)
The music app is pretty bad. I had several attempts to build a proper one, but the developer can not interact with the music library, other than playing existing playlists or songs.
You can't make custom playlists(actually you can, but it very, very, VERY complicated and prone to error and simply does not worth the shot), change the order of music inside the list and stuff like that for a third party app, and that sucks.
There are no new APIs for XNA (which is used to access the songs in the phone) so there is no way of making one.
If there is something I can say it is not right on WP, that's the music app.

Does that imply that there´s the same limitation for video? ...and ...as a result of that a videoplayer with support for more codecs is very unlikely to ever happen?

The File-Assosciation feature in WP8 works like this. Your App can define certain file endings (e.g. .mkv) which it can handle. If those are found on a SD-Card or downloaded the according registered App is then started for those files. The App can then do whatever it is it does as long as it keeps to reading the file (the original can't be manipulated although the app could copy it into it's isolated storage and manipulate it their). But there is one Caveat - there are several file extensions that are reserved for the OS which means that 3rd party Apps can't register for them. One of them is .mp3. Avi is another one of those (you can look them up in MSDN).
.mkv on the other hand is an extension that Windows Phone itself does not know so people could build Apps that would be able to consume them. Given that we now have Native Code capabilities writing a decoder or recompiling one written for another platform is possible, though it remains to be seen wether anyone will put the effort into it.

ok. i was mainly into psp dev. before, and never had a winphone in my hands so far.
but if you say that´s possible, then i´ll go for the lumia920, reg. for a dev account and see what i can do

I haven't had the chance to look over what the native code can do and what it can't do, but it is to be expected that it will have limitations, just like C# has.
You can render images (obviously) and output them using Direct3D which is pretty much what e.g. VLC does on the Desktop. You have complete read access to files on the SD-Card for your registered filetypes. MKV could be registered, MP3 or AVI could not (because they are in use by the system already).
But of course you would not be able to offload processing to the dedicated decoding units like with the built-in Codecs, which will mean more processor utilization and worse battery life. Still as a programmer I don't see too many actual road blocks (but it's a bumpy road to do this to be sure).
@TarKin: before you drop the money perhaps it would be best to start looking into the SDK. I'm not an expert in Multimedia-programming by any measure so you might be able to spot problems in there beforehand.
If you're still going for a L920 with these uncertainties for your use-case: welcome to the family, I'm anxiously awaiting mine.

Is this at least possible OP? Noobs here, Thanks in advance.
Will this work as standalone or does it need the app?
"Do not use while driving" Well where is the fun in that?
look like someone may able create Open AA instead and resolve blocking issue by google..i guess
Time to give my ride a sweet upgrade
Will raspberry survive high or low temperatures?
I'm trying to compile it, but I got a bit rusty in building under linux.
Code:

Hi! First of all, thank you for bring us this post! Amazing I've the same question as another guy here, Could you post the Windows binaries or link to the step by step to get it running under windows?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Seriously impressive, great work.
Works perfectly on my Pixel 2/PI3.
Do you think it would be possible to get Android Auto Wireless functionality at a later point? Or does this require some specific wireless/bluetooth protocol that Google hasn't released just yet?

What can you do with the bluethoot feature ?

I think it will be possible but needs some time and effort to implement it. OpenAuto is a hobbyist project and I cannot promise the exact deadline but this feature is on the TODO list.

I wasn't sure how much of Android Auto is "open" to use. I haven't invested too much time looking into these forks like Auto and Wear but I know they're not quite as public as standard Android. At least that is the take I have gotten over the past few years.
Hopefully it's something that won't require some sort of specific hardware. Best of luck! I hope to test this out on my Pi 3 in a few weeks myself. I'll be sure to keep tabs on the project!
I promise I'm not one of those XDA ETA/update zombies.
Woohoo!! Thank you for this effort!
I'm curious which hardware, aside from the Pi, has been used successfully so far? Is that the Raspberry Pi Foundation touch display? Any HATs?
Thanks again!

Only Raspberry PI 3 has been tested so far in case of embedded platforms. Code itself is portable for any Linux-based or Windows platforms. If hardware acceleration of video decoding is supported by underlying backend used in Qt multimedia library (GStreamer for Linux and DirectShow for Windows) then OpenAuto will run smoothly without additional effort. If hardware acceleration is not supported by underlying backends then it must be implemented in OpenAuto (like in case of Raspberry PI 3).
I apologize, I meant in addition to the Pi, not alternative platforms. Things like which screen is it that you've used, any HATs on your Pi, etc. ?
Thank you!

Screen is the official one from PI Foundation (7''). Basically any screen should be suitable to run OpenAuto (as long as it is supported by the OS that hosts OpenAuto). The same for other hardware.
Dude! You're my hero, I've been playing around with so many ways to get this working, yours seems to be the perfect solution, I'll take it for a test drive tomorrow
I created an app in html5. Its an basic bible app with a lot of pages and a couple of images, nothing to complicated.
How can i import all those pages (the app) to continue my development in android studio so i could finally put it in google play store?
If i could get a step by step process about how i can do it i would appreciate it.
Btw i used wysiwyg web builder to build this project. It is a drag and drop software. I'm not so good in programming so that's why i use drag and drop software's to create what i want in a short time.
