News from : yourstory.in/2013/08/uc-browser-unveils-open-add-on-platform-for-android/
UCWeb, a leading provider of mobile internet software and services, has just launched the 9.2 version of UC Browser for Android, unveiling an open add-on platform to achieve an advanced personalized browsing experience. With the announcement the company plans to draw upon its user base of 400 million users and work with app developers to develop this open add-on platform
With this 9.2 version, UC Browser provides an open add-on platform that allows users to customize the functions of their browsers. Add-ons can be added or removed as you please. The first group of individual add-ons can be seen on the panel. Four of them have been made especially to meet the needs of a large amount of users. Their features are as follow:
Facebook photo uploader: This add-on shares your photos to Facebook much more easily, and allows you to upload multiple photos at once. An added benefit to this add-on is that it can turn on the function of Facebook push notifications, so you don’t miss any message from your friends.
Save web pages as PDF: To cater to a growing need for saving high quality mobile web pages, UC Browser has created an add-on that allows you to save webpages as PDF files to better preserve their content and allow for easier file transferring. These files can be quickly accessed through the browser’s Download Management system.
File Unzip: Helps you open RAR or ZIP files on your phone. They can be extracted with the ‘Unzip’ add-on.
Webpage Translator: Taking advantage of the Google Translate and Bing system, this add-on supports more than 70 languages, allowing you to break through almost all the language barriers you need! This add-on supports both whole page translation and individual word translation.
News for developers: The add-on platform is expected to be officially open to third party developers soon. This opening aims to encourage more third party developers to create a wide array of customized feature add-ons for UC Browser. With a user base of over 400 million users, the add-on platform offers the opportunity for each of these users to enjoy a more personalized mobile browsing experience catering to each of their specific needs.
The add-on platform enables a bi-direction communication between UC Browser and the Android system’s services. In this environment, data sharing is much easier, and the UC Browser API has been standardized, making it more accessible to third party developers via SDK. Programs created by developers can be used in all operating scenarios of UC Browser.
The platform was developed on the basis of feedback of users, and research on users’s favorites. For example, they did a survey to capture users’ favorite behaviors on mobile browser includes SNS and news reading, and that was the insight behind releasing the Facebook Photo Uploader and Webpage Translator. The spokesperson for UC Browser says they get much feedback everyday from Facebook, customer service systems and email. There are periodic surveys also done to know more about users’ favorites from time to time. The browser is currently free and they do not have any plans to charge for the service.
Hi there,
I am representing a European mobile publisher and we are currently searching for Android Apps, we could license non-exclusively for our own distribution channels.
We are typically paying a one-time flat-fee and we just need the rights for our own channels. So you could continue publishing your Apps on Google Play and any other App store by yourself.
Currently we are especially looking for the following type of Apps:
- Battery Optimization tool
- Motion detectors/alarms
- Fingerprint lock screens
- Walk and Text (App which makes the screen transparent by using the camera and you can continue typing e.g. messages or surfing on websites).
Besides we are also always open to any other good quality App.
If you are interested, please send me a PM.
Thx and cheers!
Hello developers, there is a new way of localizing your android app and it's free. Just build Nativer SDK into your app and it is ready to be translated by any android user - with the help of Nativer app on their phone. Translators’ work is supported by pre translated strings via Bing.
Nativer SDK is now in beta phase, beta tester developers will be awarded by translations made by paid translators – so you don’t have to wait for users to translate your app.
The SDK is available on Github
To make integration easier we prepared a plugin for Android studio 1.0 / IntelliJ users. It's also on Github.
Translate an app with another app: Nativer new version is available
Nativer mobile app is designed exactly for localizing Android apps. It’s a full translation environment running as an Android app. If an (other) Android app is equipped with Nativer SDK built in, any user can translate the app.
Translators can immediately check the translation as they can switch between the translation screen of Nativer app and the target app.On screenshots 1 and 4 you can see an app before and after translation, on screenshot 2 and 3 thge translation with Nativer app.
For developers: if your Android app internationalization was done the Android way, you can make your app translatable easily, you only have to build the Nativer SDK into your app. Through the SDK, Nativer app provides an interface for translators to edit the language resource strings.
• in context translation
• supports any language as long as Android supports character set
For users: with Nativer app you can request translations for apps installed on your phone.

You can get the app on GooglePlay, its name is Nativer demo. If you would you like to translate your own app you should build Nativer SDK in it before translation.

Sorry I'm a new guy here, cannot put links in comments. SDK is available on http://developer.nativer.com. SDK is in beta, you might have difficulties (of course not intentionally), in this case pls give feedback.
Nativer app was not published only for several countries, sorry for it, now I published it for all countries, you should find it within 1-2 hours.
Rgrds
I'm confused how to use these services. I don't know what is sdk & how to build it. Even registered on developer.nativer.com. I think its not easy steps to translate app

mrjoy, we have modified the website to make it easier but there are limitations in the website template we use, so if you think we can communicate directly to help you go through.
You may want to modify only 1-2 words in your app just to make experiments how to improve User Experience while curiously watching how your figures change in Google Analytics. Unfortunately localization process is not shorter just because only 1-2 words changing although it can be important - you never know how these changes affect your statistics in different languages.
With Nativer you can do these experiments in many languages at once. You don’t have to send the new phrases to translators and wait until each translation is ready just to assemble the resource files and create the new package.
You only have to modify in one language only then put the package on Google Play either in live or in beta. Right after your translators or your community of app users can access the translatables and can translate directly in using the app. They can check the result at once directly in the app. In addition translation work is supported by machine pre-translation. Completed/reviewed translations can be available for your users at once – without any activity needed on your side.
No more confusion with different versions of different language resources - See the app demo here.
It’s just 15 minutes of your time to let users learn and practice languages while translating and using your app.
The Android multilingual runtime extension with an automated integration plugin for Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA is here.
We prepared a tool window in plugin for easier usage and to track how translation goes on.
The plugin itself is available on Github:https://github.com/Transround/Native...android-studio and in IntelliJ plugin repository http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7637?pr=androidstudio
In case you use Android Studio or IntellJ, you can make your app translated to 70+ languages and be ready for further translation by your users within a few minutes. Try it – you only risk only 5-10 minutes of your time to discover an exciting and suprisingly effective new technology.
