Hello everyone.
I participate in a project - android app development and my work is to make the app to upload audio files (m4a) after recording, and cvs files to amazon server (aws.amazon.com). Can you give me general guidelines? How to start? My first steps? Advice?
General speaking, android studio is better or eclipse?
The amazon aws has a few mobile services, for example Cognito, Device Farm, Mobile Analytics and SNS. Should I use some of them?
Thanks in advance.

Media Hub doesn't launch, is it a widget?
Thanks
The media hub is not launching for me either

thanks for the files.
quick (stupid) question...how do I play back and/or edit those boot files? i'm trying to find a player for them and google isn't helping. 7zip can't extract them either...
I think media hub may need another system file to function on our Xooms. I am looking into it. The boot animation, much to my dismay, is in Samsungs proprietary qmg format, which has never been broken to date. This means it will only work on samsung devices unless someone figures out how to crack the qmg code. Samsung pays some company in asia to make it just for them.
Can someone post the keyboard APK from the Galaxy Tab 10.1? Or has this been done in another thread?
Thanks!
But can anyone post the Social Hub instead of the Media Hub? That Social Hub is damn good with Twitter et all!
Anyone? :O

Anyone know of a good video editing app? Looking for an app that can trim, clip, merge, and add music without a watermark.
Paid or free, doesn't matter.
Thanks xda

PowerDirector by developer CyberLink.com is the best option currently and was released for Android this past June. It does need to be purchased and downloaded on a compatible device, but does successfully sideload and run on the Moto X. Although I would recommend using a tablet to maximize space. It's as serious as it gets for video editing on a mobile device. It's no Adobe Premiere or AVID obviously, but it's the best there is on Android. Definitely worth a try for serious mobile video editing. Hope this helps.
PowerDirector via Google Play Store

My new app PlexiCast lets you cast movies/videos from your plex library to your chromecast.
I know plex now has chromecast support built in. But I started this back last fall when the chromecast beta sdk first came out. I figure there are still some folks not wanting to pay for a plexpass subscription, so now they have another option until chromecast support is added to the regular features of the plex app.
My app has a free 7 day trial. Then a one time in app upgrade to the full version to get unlimited casting.
**** Now open to everybody -> Google Play Link
This app will not transcode your videos like the plex app will. So it will only play video formats supported by the chromecast.
Transcoding is now an experimental feature. You can enable in in the settings.
TRANSCODE WARNING
● No guarantees.
● Transcoding may not give good results.
● This app calls your Plex Media Server's transcoding engine.
● A number of factors like Wi-Fi network throughput, Plex server specs and server load play a part in successful transcoding.
● If you experience problems with transcoding, there are a number of suggestions in the plex forum to improve transcoding results.
● Please do not leave negative ratings/comments if transcoding does not work for you. The results you receive are beyond this app's control.
It also only works for movie/home movie categories. So no tv show, music or photo support currently.
To beta test:
1) join the communit - https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/112798222770978290122
2) opt-in for beta testing - https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fivehellions.android.plexicast
3) download app (will only be visible once you've done steps 1&2) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fivehellions.android.plexicast
Installed it.
What's the server address?

You have to have a Plex Media Server running on your local network. Get it here - https://plex.tv/downloads
Get that running and create at least one library that holds video files. Take note of the computer name or local ip address of the computer you installed it on. Then type that in the server name box.
I'll run it through some paces once I get home.
Went through first two steps and play store says item not found??? Did I miss the boat??? Wait..don't answer that...
Edit: works now

What is the difference between your product and just paying for the Plex membership?

Or you could set Plex app to use external player and use Allcast or local cast? This just seems a bit clunky IMHO

With my app you don't have to pay an ongoing subscription or wait for the chromecast feature to be available in the normal paid app.
I will admit the official plex app has advantages. It will transcode the files so it can play files not supported by the chromecast. It includes photo, tv and music support. It shows movie detail on your tv while your browsing titles. And it looks nicer. So if any of these things are important to you I'd recommend paying for the plex pass or waiting for the feature to be available to everybody.
I started this before plex even said that they would support the chromecast. Then google made regular devs wait 6 months before releasing the final SDK. If you look at the comments on the plex app you will see alot of people refuse to pay a subscription. I figured I'd go ahead and release it for those that don't want to wait and would rather pay a one time fee vs a subscription.
Is Plex OK with this?

Could you also add the app as attachment to 1st post of beta thread?
IMO it will increase apps popularity and amount of feedback.
I do understand. But you might want to clear it with Elan or Tobias.
Just looking out for you, "cease and desist" orders aren't fun.

Not sure.
I had an icon designed that incorporated the cast icon and the plex > sign. But then I decided I probably wasn't allowed to use that symbol so I redesigned my icon (even though there are multiple apps in the play store that use it in their icon that are not made by plex)
I could see them having a problem with my app name. If they do I will gladly change it.
Other than that I access data in the official way that they make it available in their web api. So I don't think they can tell me that I'm not allowed to do this.
Cool. Next question.
Do you have play controls like play, pause, stop, etc..?
If so, how did you do it? I'm programming a remote control and have been trying to figure out how to access these controls.
The common and documented HTTP API did not work.

I was trying to do the beta the official way in the play store. They require you to be part of a google plus community or a google group. It is alot easier to deliver new app versions to the testers since they get an app update notification from the play store like regular apps.
But I don't plan on the beta being long. If everything keeps doing well and no major bugs are found I will release it to everybody on monday.

I do have play controls but they are handled by the chromecast sdk through the media router. They don't control plex.
Can this be handled with broadcasting intents?

Are you trying to control the chromecast or regular plex clients?
Just the ChromeCast

I would start by digging around the cast sdk http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/cast/package-summary.html
The way the sample shows, when you connect to a chromecast it changes the app on the chromecast to your app. So I couldn't control google play music playing on the chromecast with my app. But I bet there is a way to connect to the current session without changing the app. I know there was an app in the play store that does that. (RemoteCast - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benlc.camcast&hl=en)
Specifically I would look at the CastMediaControlIntent and MediaRouteSelector.
When my app connects it calls:
mMediaRouter = MediaRouter.getInstance(context);
mMediaRouteSelector = new MediaRouteSelector.Builder().addControlCategory(
CastMediaControlIntent.categoryForCast(mApplicationId)).build();
mMediaRouterCallback = new CastMediaRouterCallback(this, context);
mMediaRouter.addCallback(mMediaRouteSelector, mMediaRouterCallback,
MediaRouter.CALLBACK_FLAG_PERFORM_ACTIVE_SCAN);
But I'm wondering if you called it without adding a control category if that would work.
Or passed in categoryForRemotePlayback() instead of categoryForCast(mApplicationId) which would at least let you control apps that used the default Media Receiver.
I may look into it next week if I have time. Having an app that could control whatever is playing on the chromecast but also have hooks where app like tasker could interface with it would be pretty neat.
Hi,
I was missing the ability to cast my favorite internet radios to my Chromecast.
Yes it's possible from a desktop chrome browser, but I wanted to do this from a native Android app.
So I decided to make this my first app ever.
Radio Zix is in alpha testing. I would appreciate feedback from the XDA community.
This G+ community is where you need to be if you would like to be in on this .
When the app goes out of alpha it will be available to all xda members for free.
Thanks for your support & feedback!
Tom.

Awesome going to check it out!

i've been looking for exactly this... how are you getting on?
i listen to Bassdrive.com from my PC, but seems a waste to have my PC on just for internet radio stream, so been on a hunt for an app
can BubbleUPnP help? Great to stream all the media to cc
Probably too little, too late, but then again, maybe not, but Amazon has finally released an android version of the Amazon Instant Video app:
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/09/09/amazon-prime-finally-comes-to-android-after-all-these-years/
However, no Chromecast support. Boo!
It does work. I've installed it on both my RAZR HD and my Nexus 7. However, you must also have the Amazon store app installed as well.
On the Nexus 7, you MUST install the non-tablet version of the Amazon store app. Until I installed the non-tablet version, it would keep telling me I had to install it and then would redirect me to the Amazon store web page.
Anyway to get it to work offline? Looks like you can only stream. I tried to purchase a video and download it. No dice.
Amazon and Netflix are streaming services.

That's kind of short sighted.
On the kindles, you can download videos for offline play. A buddy of mine does this frequently for long flights.
I meant that Amazon prime is streaming. Maybe it is different on an amazon device..I don't know. I think you may be able to download if you rent or buy but I'm not sure.

Doesn't surprise me Amazon didn't include Chromecast, even though it is the #1 selling devices in Electronics on Amazon.
Maybe they think this will increase their streaming player's popularity... They'd be wrong. But maybe that's what they're thinking =).
There doesn't appear to be a way to download currently on Androids. Hopefully, this will be in a future update, but I'm not sure. I'm just glad I can access my Instant videos from my Android device now without having to use the Dolphin browser. So much better.
Maybe now I can remove Flash from my device as that was the only reason I had it installed.
