In Android Studio I need to use DropBox. - Android Studio

Dropbox has its own SDK but i can't understand how to work with it.
The Link to SDK you can find on github searching dropbox-sdk-java. Sorry, to publish outside link is forbidden for me yet.
Firstly, I thought, that i can find all information in dropbox-sdk-java/examples/android, i thought, this android-project is an example of using Dropbox SDK. However, that's not true. The project contains more than ten classes, it's like a library which i should import and use then. Copying all ten classes to my app is a bad idea. To be honest, i am just a beginner in programming android-apps and i have no idea what to do with sdk given. I haven't found any instructions.
In brief, I want to know how to work with dropbox. How to login and download files. Please, help me. Thank you!

Make a Rom?

I've spent the better part of 5 hours trying to come across information on ROM development.
My question is two part. What resources are there available to learn about creating a rom from scratch or editing an existing (including making the update.zip and signing)
Also, I assume the emulator is involved or at least could be. How do you create the system images that you need to create a custom avd from the zip's that you find roms in?
I have a feeling there's a lot I don't know. Perhaps the answer is in front of my face, but I've been looking for a long time and definitely have tried so please don't just say "use the search fuction" or "google it"
Devs normally don't like to share the info but there's a guide here:
http://ctso.me/2010/02/building-an-android-rom-–-part-1-5/
But the info is in other places to the google-android page might have some info to. You must be using a linux OS to actually build anything, windows is a no-go...
Quick and helpful, thanks!
Luckily I did just put the latest ubuntu on my laptop.
If anyone else wants to chime in with some helpful resources please do!
If some annoying little 14 year old made a hero rom, it can't be all that complicated.

first he's 14 then he's 12...next he'll be a spoiled 8 year old. you just watch.
I'm glad I checked this post. I was curious about ROM developing myself. Thanks for the post.
Is it me, or does that guy have more then one account...
At the risk of taking this further off topic... what guy?
But really my main concern is how to make a rom so, any other help from anyone would be good. Thanks!
Bump?
I'm sure somebody knows something

If you would like to compile android source code (create a rom from scratch) the best place to start would be:
http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=2004
or
Chris Soyars' blog: http://ctso.me/2010/01/building-an-android-rom-part-1/
OpenEclair github readme: http://github.com/openeclair/android
Official AOSP Guide: http://source.android.com/download, http://source.android.com/download/using-repo, http://source.android.com/documentat...ding-for-dream
Instructions on creating and signing update.zip files can be in a few places herre on xda. Check the themes section I'm pretty sure I saw a few there.
Also, I assume the emulator is involved or at least could be. How do you create the system images that you need to create a custom avd from the zip's that you find roms in?

Install the rom on a handset & do a nandroid backup. It will produce the img files you will need for the AVD
Dude, you're awesome, thanks!

New to Android and need some help please...

Hi there, am a newbie to android for months, and I was thinking to start to mod things in the android rom, I've downloaded some sources from the Github, which those sources are in .java format, can anyone guide me on how to put those edited .java into my android device in order for my mod to work?
Thanks a million...
Kiay
Are you real?
You want to mod things, but you don't know what is done with source code?
I think compiling is one of the first things people learn when programming...
Download Android SDK from the net and suit yourself.

get Eclipse, and the Android SDK, then put your code in eclipse and compile it.

yes i've downloaded all those needed software, and gone through the Hello Android tutorial on the net, but as i stated above, i've no idea how to put those sources that i edited back into my device, and the sources that i m saying is those where i downloaded from the github, edited, but no idea how to put back in...
You don't put sources back, you compile them to applications and change the ones in your system for the updated ones.
Look up some more tutorials on the net, or go to "generic android development" section in the forum and look there, there are some posts by people that started to learn how to develop on Android.

Need someone to compile an APK from source

Hi, I buy some code source on codecanyon, but the tutorial they provide dont work for me... and they dont want to help
so i need someone that will be able to create the APK from the source... with some modification...
android-live-tv/7506537
this is what i buy
I have the code for Eclipse and also for Android studio.... in both i still cant compile the app
so is there a very nice person here who will help me
thx
That's really shady of them not to help you.
If the instructions they provided you are not too long you should probably post them so that it can be easier for someone to help you. I'm sure it can be compiled for you, but it's best to figure out how to get it to build for you since you'll need to figure this out eventually.
You need to make sure that android studio and your sdk are up to date. The instructions they gave you should probably say if there's any libraries you need to have setup as well.
That page says,
Files Included .apk, .db, .java, .xml, JavaScript JS, CSS, PHP, HTML
Are you sure there isn't an APK in the files you have already?

You can export the apk by going build -> generate apk -> Create new cert -> release process.
Let me know if you have any question. I have android studion configured and succesfully exported apk. I am also new to this. So i can understand your concern. :good:

Android Stutio Tutorial Project error

So I'm pretty new to android development and I'm going through the tutorials on the android development site and I'm having a problem.
The code that the tutorial says will be in activity_my.xml is in content_my.xml.
So here is my question:
Can someone please refer me to a tutorial site for android studio as well as Java. Text based only please, I unfortuantely have a data cap.
Thank you!
Hi @SighKo,
You don't have to worry about that.Latest Android Studio came this new feature.You can delete that ,if you wanted.
I think ,androidexample.com is beginner friendly.
You can also visit themakeinfo.com for Intermediate tutorials
Also ,check my Github Projects : https://github.com/basil2style
Thank You! Is there any way to not use this new feature without having to install a the old android studio?
Hi, instead of starting a project as a blank activity try an empty activity

Help me figure out SDK app

Now I'm learning to develop an OCR app. Based on step that I've followed, it's said
"You can start recognition process by starting ScanCard activity with Intent initialized in the following way:"
Then they provide the code, so I have to copy paste the code or what?
Really need your help, people since I know nothing about android studio and developing the mobile app.
Thanks in advance! :crying::crying:

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
You have to be a bit of more specific, do you need help with the Android SDK or a part of code that you didn't understand?
