ndroid Wear as a smartwatch operating system is not without its faults, but sadly while the more tech enthusiastic are likely to use it, the same people are also likely to install custom ROMs on their phones. This in most cases means having to wipe your smartwatch every time you switch to another flavor of Android on your device. There is, however, a simple way to bypass setting up your smartwatch from scratch when you buy a new smartphone or flash a new custom ROM on your device. This method does not require root on either the phone or watch, but it does require a few Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) commands. This has been tested on the Huawei Watch on Android Wear 1.5 and Android Wear 2.0, however it should also work to pair Android Wear watches with any new smartphone. If for some reason your watch is already rooted, you can ignore this tutorial and simply use the Reset Wear Client to pair Android Wear without factory resetting directly from your smartwatch.

Welcome to code samples for Android developers. Here you can browse sample code and learn how to build different components for your applications. Use the categories on the left to browse the available samples.

Each sample is a fully functioning Android app. You can browse the resources, source files and see the overall project structure. You can copy and paste the code you need, and if you want to share a link to a specific line you can double-click it to the get the url.

If you want to download a complete project, just click on any source file in the project and click the link in the upper right of the source page.

Have you ever wanted to get your hands on the latest game, only to find that the Google Play thought it wasn't compatible with your phone?
Maybe you don't have a snapdragon device, but youre're pretty sure an old device could handle it still. Have a Kindle Fire and want access to more than just the Amazon AppStore?

More than two years ago I wrote a post about sending push notifications from php to an iOS app called Pushme.To. That code, now, no longer works, and Pushme.to service no longer exists. Now I’m using an Android device and so, I’m going to show you how to send push notifications in a simple way to another app, for Android. The app is called Notify My Android and it’s free.

Mobile Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices (including tablets). It uses the User-Agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.

You may consider this script as being part of the RESS (Responsive Web Design with Server-Side Component) movement. You can find out more on the topic by reading these articles: Improve Mobile Support With Server-Side-Enhanced Responsive Design and RESS: Responsive Design + Server Side Components.

You can also benefit from Mobile Detect by using any of the 3rd party plugins available for: Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, etc.

Zapraszam do przeczytania krótkiego poradnika opisującego krok po kroku debrandowanie, instalacje 4.0 oraz rozwiązywanie najpopularniejszych problemów.

Zacznijmy od tego czym jest Brandowany soft – to wynalazek operatorów który często nie wnosi nic przydatnego do telefonu, najczęściej są to jakieś podrzędne aplikacje oraz logo operatora wciśnięte gdzie się tylko da. Niestety za brandowanym softem ciągną się blokady, to właśnie przez to Neo zakupiony od Orange do dnia dzisiejszego nie dostał aktualizacji Androida 4.0.

Mobiletuts+ will be covering all major mobile platforms – iPhone, Windows, Android and Blackberry. Today we’ll be taking a look at Android development: explaining why people have choosen to work with Android and providing an overview of the Eclipse IDE and its Java, DDMS and debugging perspectives. Finally, you’ll learn how to get started making your first Android app!

An Activity is an application component that provides a screen with which users can interact in order to do something, such as dial the phone, take a photo, send an email, or view a map. Each activity is given a window in which to draw its user interface. The window typically fills the screen, but may be smaller than the screen and float on top of other windows.

In this article we shall try to listen to the phone state when contacts are calling us.

First of all we need to set our Manifest file to listen to the Phone State, to do that we need to edit our it.

My previous article explains how to use the TelephonyManager. One of the important functionality of TelephonyManager is listening to different phone state events. The method listen(PhoneStateListener listener, int events) is used to add a phone state listener. The first parameter is the PhoneStateListener class and the second parameter is the int value contains various phone state to listen. We can listen for following events:

The simple app framework for HTML5
For iOS, Android, webOS, BlackBerry, Chrome OS & anything else with HTML5
Widgets, lists and scrolling goodness using JavaScript & CSS3
Make native mobile apps or web apps with the same code
Works great with PhoneGap
