There's an app for that!

I'm teaching myself to make Android apps.

ITT: Suggest terrible ideas for apps and some of them may turn into actual things. I'll also post as I go about how my learnings are doing and am thinking of making Android versions of things like the choose your own adventure wiki as simple starter projects, maybe bundle Discordian reading materials into a single app.

Does anyone about these parts have experience with developing for Android? I'm at the stage where I plug my phone into my computer and make HELLO WURLD appear on the screen. IT'S ALIVE!

I've been building some apps with Icenium ( http://www.icenium.com/ ), which lets you build html/javascript apps for phone/tablets. Basically it just packages up single-page apps and has some built in source control.

As for an app - I'd like to see a thingy that lets you build sort-of-random playlists. Like, you can define a playlist that will always play a specific intro track, and then fork down two paths after that, with the second path having a couple of variations variations on tracks 2 and 4 which can be selected independently.

App that interjects noises like you're being old-school wiretapped into phone calls after you use words or phrases from the NSA watch list.

Random porn app: in slideshow format, you literally will not know what the next image will be.  App pulls from straight, gay, fetish, Hentai, and WTF porn sites.

Tag line:  "There's a Fap for that."

App that "locks" your phone and displays what looks like a normal passcode screen, but nothing you enter works and the only way to close it is tapping a specific spot on the screen three times.

An app that monitors your typing accuracy, and after a certian set deviation says, "Go home, you're drunk" and shuts itself off.

Similar, an app that, when you attempt to make a comment on Youtube, says "what the hell were you thinking?" and closes the browser.

An app that limits your ability to connect with facebook to three minutes every hour.

YouTube comments are a great place for apps to explore.

I WILL MAKE AN APP WHICH PROVIDES ACCESS TO YOUTUBE COMMENTS WITHOUT THE DISTRACTING VIDEOS.

If I wasn't already a programmer the android.com app developing tutorial would break me.

The following is given without any definitons except to explain that an intent is used to show the app intends to do something:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);

The constructor used here takes two parameters:

A Context as its first parameter (this is used because the Activity class is a subclass of Context)
The Class of the app component to which the system should deliver the Intent (in this case, the activity that should be started)

Also, I can now make apps talk to each other and take text input, which means ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

An app that makes a phone call to you partway through your date for easy running away.
