Hi guys,
which server-backend would you recommend for live-receiving of sensor values from an Android device. Some data is also transmitted only once.
It should be easy to set up and be capable of data streams.
During my research I came across Microsoft Azure and Google App Engine.
Both would probably meet the requirements.
For any advice, recommendation or suggestion I am grateful.
Best regards,
Arthur

Want to help me with my thesis project by installing my research app on your android phone? My research involves finding malicious code on smartphones, and all the app will do is collect some data about normal power usage on your phone. All the data is totally anonymous and you won’t have to do anything once it’s installed and you’ve agreed to run it in the app. I would really appreciate your help! Anyone who’s interested can find it on the play store here: Malicious Code Detector http://goo.gl/9pNFi Tell your friends!
The Galaxy Nexus as a google reference phone running ICS/JB offers a consistent data platform so please consider running my app. Thanks.
Your app is not available in my country. I'm in Canada by the way.

Sorry forgot to make available beyond the US when I moved it out of "alpha" testing. It should be available now if you are still interested in helping. Should be mentioned the app doesn't do anything without location resources.
Hi all,
(Hoping this is the right forum - its description includes "Discuss functional and performance testing tools and services" but if I select the Question box when posting I'm told "This is not a Q&A forum. By posting questions in this forum you are breaking the forum rules.")
I'm looking for tools to automate functional testing of Android apps. Robotium looks promising but I'd be interested to hear what more experienced Android developers think and if they have other recommendations. Cloud-based services may be interesting too.
Thanks
Mirko
Robotium is a nice choice. I've written a guide about it which you can take a look at.
Also the standard tool provided by the SDK, called the MonkeyRunner Tool, is also a great option.

Good tutorial, thanks.
The ability to control more than one device with MonkeyRunner sounds very interesting. I wonder if you could even simulate two users interacting with each other.

You can do it with Robotium itself. Just specify the actions which you want sequentially, depending on your needs.

I recently uese monkeyrunner on automated test. I really think it's easier than Robotium. Espesially the additional tool hierarchy to view perspective provided by the SDK is very useful.

Maybe I should try using MonkeyRunner once after all. Though I never felt the urge to use anything else after Robotium.

Android TV using monkey runner
Hi All,
Im new to this forum and Monkeyrunner as well. I tried connecting my cell phone using monkey runner and it works fine, but when I try to connect my Android TV, it doesn't connect. When I type adb devices, it gives output as <IP ADRRESS>:<port>, but waitforconnection command is not able to connect to my TV. My TV and my PC is on same network, I use ADB commands like logcat, push and pull works fine, but this connection using monkey runner is not working out.
Any suggestion guys.
Regards
Devendra
Alternative Tool: Ranorex
I have another recommendation for you: Ranorex. It supports both iOS and Android testing. You needn’t write any code because Ranorex lets you record your tests on real Android devices. It’s even possible to manage your devices over Wi-Fi from a desktop PC without having a USB connection to the devices.
Robotium is no doubt the best tool for android automation. To use it effectively, you can use this app: Robotium

Crash log tool
I am not sure about automated testing by my favourite tool is Acralyzer. Best part is its free to install on your server and generates comprehensive reports.
I guess automated testing is also possible but it is something I have never tried.
thank you guys it's the first I heard of Robotium
Hi everyone! This tablet has caught my eye and I'm really considering purchasing it, however, I need it for a very specific use.
I teach online via webcam primarily in math and science subjects. Consequently, I have to write a lot of equations. I figured a powerhouse such as this tablet should be able to tackle this no problem.
So here is my question, is there a way for me to do a screen share while in a Google Hangouts or Skype session? I need to be able to write on the screen and display the equations for all that is watching. As of right now, I know the Hangouts app does not current allow this and I can't do it directly in a browser either. I'm wondering (hoping) there is a workaround for this purpose, because otherwise, I really have no purpose for this tablet to truly justify it.
I hope someone has good news so I can buy a new toy!
Hey All,
We would really like to get some help with Beta testing our new Android application called mCollect. We have recently released our server called Form Factor where you can design your forms and use mCollect app to collect your data. You can access all your data on the Form Factor server and do your data-analysis. In simple words, Form Factor is like Survey Monkey or Google Forms for the mobile phone.
Our product is useful for people who do data collection in the field, probably using paper forms or using a software where connectivity is needed all the time. Moreover, mCollect works offline, removing the need to always have connectivity.
Please have a look at the attached file to get the links for downloading the app and getting more info.
Thanks in advance,
Mahesh
Hi everyone, I am developing an android application based on Html5 and jquery Mobile, I want to follow the design of the one single page approach to improve the user experience, you know, the transition between pages is much faster.
The problem is my page is very big now, how I could split my page in smaller ones, but given the user experience of a single page approach? Could I split in html pages and then to do any kind of import?
Any kind of recommendation will be very appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance.
Best regards
David.

Typically, how you would do this is create a HTTP post to the data, and update the DOM like so .
Code:
$.get("url_here", {param: "none"}, function(data){
$("#dom_elem_ID").html(data)
});
The data is passed through the 'data' variable and updated to DOM.
I would recommend using AngularJS routes instead of jQuery get/post.

+1 for updating and managing the dom. Don't keep everything in memory if you don't need it.
Another thing you could think about doing is moving to angularjs (or another framework if you prefer) and making your application responsive throughout. This will ensure that your application will adapt across many devices/form factors and be laid out in the best way for each device.
That's not to say that jquery mobile won't work on a desktop, its just very targeted at mobile devices and will feel strange to some people on a desktop.
