Two ideas.
1. Useage tracker.
I've not seen a good, free, user-friendly sms/minutes/data monitor. Something like LCminutes but easy to configure. Maybe csv export for uploading to a web page and displaying reports?
2. GPS Tracker.
A stealth application to track a device/vehicle/etc. Plug-able architecture and modularised architecture. Abstracting input and output commands so that the software can be controlled via SMS/HTTP/etc. Geofence and proxity features.
Something like RemoteTracker but it does not have the above features.
Anyone interested in helping me build these two?

I am looking at developing an application that will be used to conduct on-site installation surveys. It will be designed to be browser based, and will be targeted at a pocket pc platform.
The user will start a new installation survey, and will be able to add a series of 'checkpoints' throughout the survey. The best way to describe it is to say for example that the engineer is adding proposed locations for light-switches all around the site, and needs to add the location, type of light switch, some notes, and perhaps a digital image taken from the camera of the pocket pc. Each 'light switch' will be an individual record in a database.
When the survey is complete the engineer will have a collection of light switch locations,along with notes etc. These could potentially be large in file size, so I was planning on having the 'survey' stored on the pocket pc and upload it to the web server DB when it is finished.
My question is, does anyone know of an application that has already been developed, as I don't want to re-invent the wheel.
Hey guys, just ran across this app in the market. Apparently it's a location based task list. The way I understand it, it uses the GPS to figure out where you are and then when you put in a certain task, you put the address of that task and then it reminds you when you arrive at the destination or something along those lines.
ActionComplete uses WiFi (rather than GPS) for location-based notifications. You are welcome to watch ActionComplete for Android: Setup And Use Location-based Notifications video tutorial at actioncomplete.com/android. There are other video tutorials and resources to help you ramp up with AC for Android as well as AC for Web/AC for Web Pro at actioncomplete.com and actioncomplete.com/web.

NFC-AAAC or NFC Assisted App Access and Control
Pretext:
I have 2 children under the age of 3, all of their content (audio/video) is digital accessed. This created a disconnection for them, as they are not able to play /change the content unless my wife or I change it for them. I know there is an interest for them to be able to change the content themselves as when we have Netflix or Pandora open on the touch enables screens they are all was trying to pick the show/music they like. The few places where they do have a physical medium to play content,
The DVD player/CD player (note we have it backed up digitally), there is much interest with the “desk”. The kids would love nothing more to remove and replace it over and over. Watching this behavior over some time has lead me to believe that a simpler solution would/could be doable.
This brings me to NFC tags, with a few add-on programs the NFC tag can be scripted to perform most complicated input tasks.
Goal:
To provide access to complicated tasks via NFC.
To allow a person of limited physical input abalaty to use smart phone tech.
This can include, the disabled, the young, the old. To allow access to tasks/apps while driving or when attention is needed other places.
Current Scope:
Create tags for a radio station that can be quickly taped to change station/play album.
( Keeping the driver form looking at their phone while driving). Create tags that auto play Netflix/Amazon Prime/YouTube/Google +/etc videos.
This may include second screen casting Create tags to autolaunch/call via Skype/cell phones
Want to call grandma? Or have grandma get on Skype, etc. Create tags to attach to things around the house foods/shapes/flashcards etc.
When was this put in the fridge?
Send text to let people know the item is all gone etc.
What was this called.
Call support.
Where I'm at:
I'm currently gathering URIs / intents for the tasks described.
I will be using a combination of the “NFC task launcher” and “Tasker” to complete the tasks.
I will be following up with more detailed guide on how to set up functions/tasks.What I am looking for:
Help locating the URI / intents to call to complete tasks.
More tasks, Do have someone you know / you yourself finding something more complicated than it should be let me know and we can discuss how to fix.
Current URI list
Note Most if not all the URIs are undocumented aka may stop working, I will try to keep the list up-to-date. Please let me know if any stop working.

Mmm, interesting.

interesting ... how did you discover the uri to launch apps with arguments?
I also used a custom URI and NFC Task Launcher to launch my app "Badge NFC" and store custom data inside the app database (look at my signature to get a playstore link) ...

All of the custom URIs prefixes are in the apps manifest.
If I'm lucky I can simply type it into google and find someone else that's done the work, (to get the data argument)
If not I used JD-GUI to look over the source code to trace the Android Intent path and see what the app is looking for.
Another way is to see is if the app has a web app interface. Aka if I go to the web site or get a share link, does the app autolunch the content.
I was a little confused with your question, hope this answers it.
Thanks for the interest.

Yes sure, that's what I was asking ... Cool!
I'll search in some of my favourite apps manifests to see if I can find something interesting ...

Hi! We have published a new app and would appreciate some honest feedback info below.
App store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vi.newsoi.reader
About the app:
We have started to implement an app that evaluates how read-worthy different articles in the internet are. First we made a webapp that displays the current best articles and now have published also an app that displays the article feed for that webpage.
About the algorithm:
Some of the metrics used to evaluate an article are for example how topical the article is, how trending it is and how readable, coherent or objective the article is. These metrics we are the most confident in and of course we do not want to give the full algorithm available.
Future plans:
This is really much a work in progress and suggestions for future development are very welcome. For example now it is possible only to see random top ranked articles. Of course the idea is to make it categorize the articles and then you can browse the articles by categories (sports, world news etc.). Also allowing the user to add their own sources, for example blogs and other text based sources.

Well done!
I like the idea of this app...:good:
Hi all!
I am wondering what the "exercise" tracking option is exactly. I could not find any description for it anywhere. Does it mean weightlifting specifically, as the small logo suggests?
Has anyone found a way to track generic activities that are not specifically available? Such as martial arts, rock climbing or inline skating?
Thanks for the answers!
"Excercise" should be any generic activity where you want to have HR measured in realtime and stats recorded as a workout.
The band is aimed at tracking activities which involve changing your location (walking, running, biking or swimming). It measures distance with GPS and/or steps (based on the activity). It can't measure and show any specific information for "stationary" sports like martial arts or climbing, so you won't find these in the official application. However Notify & Fitness offers many different types of activities, even though it's probably more for statistic purposes than anything else. There might be different calories profiles for each activity, but app or band can't really know how intensive your activity is, so it is mainly a guessing anyway.

Thanks! So the "Exercise" activity is exactly what I'm looking for. Measuring HR and stats for any unspecified workout. Perfect! It would be awesome to have something similar that also includes GPS in the log. To track things outdoors. Maybe with a future update, I submitted a request via the app.
Anyone who would also like this feature feel free to submit a request through the feedback function in the app
Thanks for the tip with N&F too!

Well, for an outdoor activity with GPS you already have "walking" exercise. If you want more categories, N&F is your best friend, additionally to the type of activity you can also define what do you want to measure, if you want special notifications (too high/low HR, moving between HR zones etc.). Definitely worth a try - but with a word of warning - don't get discouraged by quite complex UI, it takes time getting used to it.
