We're going to need a working example.

[The Spirit]

How many pages will you do?

just mccodes engine?

Were going to need more info

[modernmafiia]

The whole engine, the engine will have a different layout which im charging to do which will fit all screen sizes perfectly without side scrolling etc..

[Guest]

Hmm, misleading title? You mean you are creating a layout, creating an android app means you'll be using java (i think)

[modernmafiia]

Well yeah, layout but it will be an app apk. format which you can add to market etc.. it just wont be a java style app more like a browser sort

Well yeah, layout but it will be an app apk. format which you can add to market etc.. it just wont be a java style app more like a browser sort

So you create a stylesheet to fit it? You don't actually create the app?

[modernmafiia]

What i do is i create the design, then use a program/site to get a apk browser for that certain link, that design fits to all screen sizes etc..it will create me an apk then you can upload etc.. and when downloaded it will display where the app was linked to such as http://www.link.com/mobile/ <--have your mobile files in a different folder or something

It works same as a normal app with the design and everything

[JakeB]

Why have separate files for the mobile version? if you make it properly you could just make it check the user agent and display the correct style sheet for mobile, then you don't have to manage 2 separate games pretty much..

Price is now $50-70

[rulerofzu]

So your doing what for $50-$70 compared to

http://andromo.com/

Which you can use free?

[modernmafiia]

first of all it created different sorts of apps, it does not create and app connected to your game does it?

An am charging that amount to create a layout for the mobile (template) so it fits most screens perfectly.

And for the app you don't even need another program to make it.. Just make a simple WebView that connects to that site, and checks links.

Example:

Browser Activity:

 

package com.yourgame.app;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;

public class Browser extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
WebView browser;
ProgressBar progressBar;
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       this.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
       setContentView(R.layout.browser);

       getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS, Window.PROGRESS_VISIBILITY_ON);

       browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.browser);
       browser.setWebViewClient(new  browserClient());
       browser.getSettings().setUserAgentString("your-custom-user-agent"); 
       progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
	browser.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){
		public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress){
			progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
			progressBar.setProgress(progress);
			if(progress == 100)
				progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
		}
	});
       browser.loadUrl("http://yoursite.com/");
   }
}

 

Custom WebViewClient (makes it so when you click links it'll load the new link in your app instead of the default browser)

 

package com.yourgame.app;

import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class browserClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView v, String url){
	v.loadUrl(url);
	return true;
}
}

 

Just create a layout called Browser.xml with a WebView in it with the id "@+id/browser" and you're good to go.

 

EDIT: i'll make it even easier.

 

<WebView android:id="@+id/browser"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

 

enjoy.

appsgeyser.com is another place you can create an android app, which really its just an app linked to your full site not an actual independent app, but it has no adds like andromo.com

[rulerofzu]

Soooo basically something you can do for free rather than paying.

[modernmafiia]

You can do it free how ever, it wont be mobile type, it will be your PC version squashed up for your mobile it remains hard to navigate etc...

So all you are supplying is a modified template for McCodes which enables it to fit upon a mobile screen?

[Smokey]

I use the appsgeyser app for my game, and it works much better than the mobile browser, I use Daves chat system which wont work correctly on a mobile browser, well not on my phone anyway which is a Mytouch 4G Slide, but with the appgeyser app it works fine, and it isnt "squashed up" :P
