Tips for "Procedural app"? - Android Studio

Hello everyone
I've started working from home from March, and been in 3 different skills in less than 2 months, and probably, going to be in other one, and Im not getting the right feedback or instructions from my superiors about how to make my job correctly and not lose money or gettin punish for something I have not been taught
So I came with the idea to create an app in which I could select the primary data/options and then get the procedure/steps to solve my task without losing time (like a mini game to provide background info and then have the answer of what to do.
Ex of Primary Data: "Number of products to cancel", "Type of order: Pick up/Delivery", "Store of origin: Main/Other", "Costumer wants to cancel?: Yes/No"
After all the background data has been selected/stablished, text will appear to tell what are the steps to take according to the previous data entered.
Ex Answer Procedure: "Proceed to cancel the order, notify the dealer from the main store and proceed with the cancellation. Close the case"
So here goes the main question: What topics I must learn in order to be prepared to make this app as simple as possible with Android Studio? Is there any course that covers up this idea? What you guys suggests?
Thank you all in advance, hope to read how to find the info I need
Have a great day!

[Q] How to get SMS out of the WP8.1 phone to print for the police

I'm writing this story in behalf of one friend and asking how to get out of the phone about 100 SMS messages to be printed for the police in case of stalking. I don't find any solution my self. Is there any program to get out SMS messages or is there any possibilities to hack the phone or Back Up copy on outlook account.
Thanks in advance
I'd like to know this as well,it's the main stumbling block stopping me switching to Windows phone. On android it is so simple, I do mine weekly for a access court case against my ex. It should be a priority in this day and age.

on wp 8.1 you can enable them to be backuped
or when it are only 100 then you could copie them and past the text in an email ( I know that sucks but there isn't any better)
Thanks for that, when you back them up exactly where do they go and what can you do with the back up?
I don't mind the copy and paste aspects of it, it's a bind but I can do that.
Seems like there needs to be an app out there in this day and age to make this a simple task.
SMS backup is actually possible even just on 8.0, but it goes into an invisible SkyDrive (excuse me, OneDrive) folder. People were able to find the data before, but I don't remember how.
You could try intercepting the network traffic from the backup operation and see if that tells you where it's going?
That's a bit technical for the average person to be honest. Why can't they have something like 'sms backup and restore' like they do in android to make things simple for the average person?
I know where the backup is but I think the only one who can open it and extract SMS out is NSA - and of cource MS
Care to share the location? It may be possible to get it by requesting the files directly from OneDrive (or wherever) rather than navigating to them using the UI.
With that said, it might be worth contacting MS about it. I mean, if it's for the police, that's a pretty good reason to make that stuff accessible.
You probably only get it in plain text.
You need the coversationlist and the Sms textfield.
There are two way's of getting it.
Screendumps and / or.....the old fashion camera.
The option of making your messages visible in outlook doesnt work anymore.

Chromecast Root installer Service

Chromecast Installer Service
Hi all,
I'm starting this thread because well i'm a fan of community work
I've been doing this awhile for Free Mcboot on the playstation 2 platform, were basically you cannot 'hack' your console without a hacked console. they've setup a thread were all installers are listed within every region and what system they support.
all you then needed to do is pick the nearest installer - send them a pm for there location details and requirements. send a bubble envelope containing the memory card and another bubble envelope with return adress and either transfer money for the postage or include it in the envelope.
this has actually worked quite well, therefore it would propose the same here.
If users don't seem to want to root the chromecast themselves or do not have the means todo it , they could send it to an installer - they root it and send it back.
since i already have a chromecast , i'm in no interest to keep your chromecast... altho if no money is provided for postage it will be kept until it's transferred - not going to do this with loss... that's just insane.
Anyway just wanted to provide a way for users to enjoy there chromecast to the fullest.
let me just put a list here :

This sounds sketchy as I didn't think there was a root method available after hubcap was fixed

Hubcap still works on new out of the box Chromecasts that haven't touched the internet.
Sketchy or not
Hi,
Thanks for the reply , it does indeed seem odd that someone would take the time todo this for free...
but by this i could give something back to the community instead of leeching whatever other user brings out.
and since i've done this for awhile now in the PS2 scene, there are people who trust people todo this just because they have either not a way todo it or don't know how to do , and rather leave it to someone who has atleast done it once or could recover if they do it wrong.
And since you only need to pay the postage, it's a fair deal. unlike a webstore charging +$10 because it's rooted
and yes there are bad people in the world , never has been otherwise.
That's why there's a list so you could atleast see who you could trust.
i admit , i don't seem trustworthy with 0 posts and bad english :laugh:
just google "fmcb installer xtremegamer" first hit brings you straight to the FMCB installer service , ask the OP starter there if i'm trustworthy.
In the end it's your decision, always open to anwser any questions.
Thanks - sorry for the long read

[Q] grievingDad needs HELP!

My son ODed on 11.17.14. I have been looking over his phone for some time. In a moment of utter stupidity I deleted all SMS messages. Links from me, his mother, his sibling and his friends. I have been looking online for ways to recover msgs. Dr. fone appears to be one of the best but does not work on his phone. It appears it would work if the phone was rooted. I have downloaded and installed towelroot. The app says the phone is not supported. I have found and used the three Mod string modifiers. the app still says the phone is not supported. I even went to the ATT device support center and they said they could not help. Please anyone, help me recover my son's messages. Its the last words I will ever have from him.
Thank you.

I am desperate to recover these msgs.
thank you.
Download AT&T messages if it is not already installed. After you log in it will start downloading all of the logs, sms, calls, etc.
@grievingDad,
I truly do not intend to be callous in this situation, but I will make a few points here and some may be helpful.
1) I don't know who you are, and since I do not know you, I cannot be certain of your motives for even trying to retrieve deleted messages. If you have truly lost someone and your motives are as simple as they appear in your firt message, my heart goes out to you and I wish you all the best in trying to retrieve your son's messages. I only say this because I would not even attempt to retrieve deleted messages for someone if they were doing it for spiteful or illegal reasons (Example: Jealous lover, disgruntled employee, etc.). There are probably more illegitimate reasons to retrieve another person's messages than legitmate ones. I am guessing that is why you will have a difficult time finding someone to help you with this directly. I am not an attorney, but even helping you to retrieve deleted messages sounds like a slippery slope.
2) You may be able to get an attorney to petition AT&T for a record of the messages. I believe that they have to keep them for a certain period of time for legal reasons. I'm not sure how accessible the messages will be. I remember trying to get a copy of one of my own messages (many years ago), and I wasn't able to get it from them. I know that messages are subpoenaed in court, but you might have to involve a judge to get them.
3) If your son used Hangouts for messaging (not the stock messaging app), you may be able to get the messages through his Google account. You might be able to ask Google for his password. I suspect that it would invole contacting Google and send them an official copy of the death certificate. I doubt that it would be easy.
4) It is possible that you could something wrong and brick the phone. In other words, you would never get anything off of it.
5) Consider the possibility that the messages may really be gone forever. Some things in the digital world offer the ability of recovering from "Oops!", but some things are meant to be deleted permanently. I am not trying to be a pessimist. All I am trying to do is counter the notion that everything is hackable and data is never really lost.
I don't think your being callous, just pointing out things i didn't consider.
1) It never occurred to me that that the post would be interpreted as nefarious. I know using names instead of handles is not very common, but if you wish you can look up his obit in the Baton Rouge Advocate. His name is William McCardle. My name is Douglas. I can be found at the number listed above in the same city. I'm not an attorney either, but I don't believe providing information on rooting a phone would lead to any type of prosecution. The service for all four numbers on the family plan are in my name.
2) I took the phone to the ATT device service center. I assumed if it was possible to retrieve msm from their servers they would have advised me there. But maybe not. I will contact ATT directly and/or consult with the family atty.
3) Hangouts is on the phone, but doesn't appear to have any msgs. Nothing is in Archives. The msms icon was one of the four permanent icons at the bottom, so I assume it is the stock messaging app.
4) I have copied/backup the device to Kies 3 and copied all photos to my computer. Even if the phone is bricked, it is worth the risk to get the msms back.
5) Its good you pointed out that not all data is recoverable. I was aware that even an App was able to retrieve msms, that some may be corrupted or overwritten due to reuse of the memory space.
6) Lastly, my motives are just that simple.
Thank you for the reply. Any further input would be greatly appreciated.
The App AT&T messages will recover just about every message sent and received from the line.
I don't recall if it recovers MMS messages.
It should be on the phone already. If not you may be able to download in he play store.
I used it once when I was going to be out of a service area. Connected to WiFi and used the app. While using the app it seemed to download every message ever sent and received. Took forever and I could not stop it.
Success
Thanks to those who replied. Installed the att msgs app and all the texts have been downloaded.
Just wish I had followed the advise on the 3rd when it was first suggested.

I kept meaning to go back and check this thread earlier to see how you made out. I am glad to hear that you were able to recover the messages. All the best.

Google Home Diary - Custom Responses

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create a personal diary with Google Home but getting stuck on making a slot for intents that can accept custom responses. For example, if I program Google Home to say "How are you doing today?" or "Tell me about your day.", I can get any number of varying responses.
Anyone know of a way to allow Google Home to accept anything the user says as a valid response and then send that back to my web hook so I can record that in my DB? Currently, I have hundreds of "possible responses" in a catch all slot but that isn't a good enough solution.
Thanks!

Using Google Home as an auto reminder for Elderly parents living away & alone

I am interested in placing a google Home mini in my old parents home and have it remind them of tasks and activities they should be doing every day.
Once the time of the task is over, ask them simple canned questions like did you do it? did you go there? was the task completed? and based on the answer to log the results in a table I will create to follow up on them living the plan we put together.
Their daily plan will be in an online table list of activities I will be creating as an excel table on a weekly basis.
The initial challenge is to turn a task list into scheduled reminders that will be read out loud at the set times on their mini speaker.
The other Challenge is to ask if the tasks was completed and the score they gave to it and and log it in the table I will read daily.
Is someone here familiar enough with Google home to help create the solution?
Thanks in Advance
Dany
Hello, I think that your question is very interesting.
I don't have much experience with google home but what you are trying to achieve should be doable.
I think that you could schedule a custom routine (https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7029585?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en) that triggers a custom action (that will handle the conversation to acknowledge the task and store this information in your online excel table). The most tricky part is obviously the custom action. I think that you have at least 2 options here:
1) writing you custom action with the Action SDK (https://developers.google.com/actions/sdk/), mainly in Javascript creating a Node.js app running for example on Firebase (aka Google cloud).
2) using a platform called dialogflow (https://dialogflow.com/) to create the action without programming.
You can find some examples here: https://developers.google.com/actions/samples/github
Keep us posted!
If you are a programmer, you can develop a little software in python using a script that send programmaticaly voice to google home. I wrote a post on my blog www dot gioexperience com. Sorry but in XDA I cannot write links
On my blog you can see how to send programmaticaly in python voice command to google home without human interaction... also detect and erase alarms ecc ecc
