Best android apps?

I just got my shipment notification and my new Droid X is supposed to arrive tomorrow afternoon. I am very excited and will be new to the Android market, I want to know what is everyone's favorite app and why?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Here are a few links to some of the best reviewed apps for the android operating system:

What's best Android app for viewing PSDs?

Other than the Adobe photoshop apps what is the best Android App for viewing .psd files? All the Adobe ones lock you into using the Creative Cloud which I don't want to use as I have my files on Google Drive.
Thanks

Try Docs Viewer.

What is the best android app for OFFLINE voice commands (offline - not "Ok Google")?

Hi, I'm looking for a good app that allows you to assign a voice command, for example, "Call Mom" to the actions you would perform on the phone to dial Mom's phone number. I'm calling this "off-line voice commands." I do not want to have all my contacts stored on some cloud server and then let Google or something else to find it there and call the number for me. I want it all to take place internally, that is on my phone. This is sort of like recording a macro. There must be a good app that does that. Please don't give my instructions on how to use the microphone for Google to do this. You have to understand that I want to do this OFFLINE. A lot of people don't seem to understand that when you use Google for this, it's an online process. Samsung users say they have an already installed app called "S-Voice" that does this offline. It would be similar to that. Also found an app called "Utter" on the google play store, but it looks like it's in Beta. I've yet to download an app and was hoping other Xperia users found something already on the phone that does this. Oh and my Language and input setting is already set to "Default English" with speech output set to on. Thanks again. Chrissy

Trial and error, there are myriad options on the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandall.nutter&hl=en

Allan,
I have used the default calendar with the HTC Desire.
The problem with calendars on mobile devices is that they only store / display calendar entries for two years. i.e. entries more than 2 years old are not displayed.
(It may be one year for the Desire). I have stopped using the phone calendar.
You may find a calendar which synchs with google - the entries are stored online, and I think there is no limit.
Ao alternative is to save your calendar to a searchable pdf file on the pc, and then transferring it to the mobile device.

Sorry for late reply..I was away.
@TBO27, I've tried that and it does stop the downloads and installs but only temporarily. The next time I connect the WiFi it starts downloading and reinstalling again.
@Tidbits, No, that app isn't preinstalled. I can uninstall it easily enough but it really gets annoying when a bunch of the old apps get reinstalled one after the other. I chose Sharesfinder as an example. There are many others. I had downloaded a few electronics tutorials and simulators 2 phones ago and even they get put back...sigh.
When I bring up my Google Play Apps on the PC I can bring up the settings where it asks whether or not to show each phone in the menus. There is a checkbox for each phone. That and a button to rename the phone. I unchecked all the phones from there except the latest, most current phone but it is as if this list was being ignored.
I reset the phone a few days ago but this time I unchecked the google backup and restore. I have to keep it off until I figure this out unfortunately...
edit: Since I was testing a paid backup app I reset the phone and since I didn't let Google reinstall anything automatically but installed all my apps myself, the "My Apps" in Google Play showed only those few apps I installed myself. Everything looks as it should. I was quite happy that it finally "took" and stopped the extra app nonsense. Sad to say that when I checked that box for Google to backup and restore my Apps, passwords, settings, etc. then POOF...all those old unwanted apps came back....sigh.

Best Software to Run Android Apps on Windows Tablet

I have been looking at some apps to allow Android Apps to run on a Windows Tablet.
Grateful if you can assist me with some recommendations
Key things are: ease of installation and use; and long term stability
Thank you in advance

Hello HebertMr,
I am afraid that is not possible. The reason is they are very different Operation systems and they are designed to follow certain codes(rules).
Hope this helps. If not give me a shout i am happy to help.

Is Flash Builder a good beginner program for creation of android app?

Hi there,
I'm planning to create a Android app and I'm searching for the right program to do so. I have absolutly no knowledge about programming, but happen to have Flash Builder as part of the Creative Suite CS6. As I need to learn everything from the complete beginning, I'd like to pick the best program for this purpose, so I don't learn a lot of stuff not be able to achieve the product I'd like. Let me give you a example of what I will try to achieve:
Program for Android:
- first page of the program would be a welcome page, it would be nice to be able to put a login and password option here, but that is not neceserry.
- second page would be a list of 14 options - books - and by clicking on each option I would open a little book (cca 30 pages).
- this option would be nice: let's say I open the third book and stop reading on page 10 and stop/close the program - the next time I open the program it would open the program on that very 10th page of the third book
- this option would aslo be nice: some kind of searching modul to search keywords in the book.
Is this kind of app possible to make in Adobe Flash Builder, or would it be better to learn another program? Thanks a lot for your experiences! Hedvertel

If you have a licence for Master Collection you should have the info about what it contains.
A few moments on Google took me here: http://www.ecostsoftware.com/adobe/adobe-creative-suite-cs6-master-collection-mac_p5565?gc lid=CNzN5MbKmLoCFXDJtAodWDoA3w
The included software is listed. I don't think Muse existed when CS6 was originally released.
I didn't properly read George's answer, but I don't see Muse as a great app builder.
I kind of don't understand at all, why you even answer, if the only thing you are saying in this disucssion is that it's too ambitious and that I'm stupid even asking.
Saying the project is overly-ambitious is a great answer to your question. In post 5 you clearly valued that answer enough as to be giving up on the project.
I didn't say you were stupid asking these questions, it's more a case of asking questions you should be able to answer yourself without too much trouble.
I still think that with your current level of understanding, takling this project with no experience of any programming or web technology is overly ambitious. Start small and build on that.
You don't say why you want to do this particular project - whether it's about learning in general or that project in particular. If it's learning in general there's nothing to stop you - there are a ton of tutorials out there. If it's for this particular project only, I would stop now.
You need to invest a significant amount of time to learn this stuff.
Are you on some design course? Why do you have the master collection?

Difficulty with Licensing Android apps developed with Flash CS6

Hi, I'm heading down many a blind alley with this one. I have developed an Android app using Flash CS6 and it is ready to be published on Google Play. However, as it is a paid app, it is strongly advised to license it to protect it.
There is a bit of documentation on how to do this with Flash Builder, but I need to be able to do it with Flash. The following link provides some info, though it is far too confusing for me to follow.
http://www.rybram.com/index.php/blog/61-air-30-android-licensing-tutorial-project
The Android developer page has info about it here, but it keeps refering to the Manifest file.
http://developer.android.com/google/play/licensing/adding-licensing.html
I've seen a few other threads on here touching on this subject, but I have not had any luck with them. There's lots of references to Air Native Extensions that handle licensing but I don't understand them.
I'm quite surprised that there is no support from Adobe on such a fundamental stage of the app production. Basically, anyone developing Android apps using the otherwise fantastic Flash CS6 will have trouble protecting their apps with licenses once published, meaning that anyone can just grab the .apk file and redistribute it anywhere.

I think what I need is the idiot's guide
As long as you don`t make this attudude a habit
It might be best that you hire someone to look into the matter, pushing out sth. on the market with no real plan
I'm heading down many a blind alley with this one
could get you into serious trouble with customers that buy your product, experiencing trouble with some kind of DRM you are blindfoldedly implementing and having no clue how to fix it.
Just saying.
You wouldn`t surely feel comfortably buying from a developer who is admitting to have no clue what he/she is doing, would you?

Exception when connecting to an OracleDB via an Android app

Hi everyone,
I am coding an Android app. This app has to get datas from an Oracle DB available on the LAN. So, I use JDBC to connect to the database. (ojdbc14.jar added in my Android Project). I've made 2 classes : OracleDB with the following code (http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/432146) and the "launcher class", JDBCAndroid, with that code : http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/432148.
The program, when it's a simple Java Project is able to connect to the database ; but in an Android Project, as you can see in the pastebin of the JDBCAndoid, there is "some" Exception from the driver.
In particulary, this one :
04-22 08:17:52.509: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(346): Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Could someone help me to fix this ? Finally, is it possible to connect to an OracleDB from an Android app ?
other details : the server is an Oracle 10g 10.2, and the driver is ojdbc14.jar (version corresponding with the version of the server).
Best regards

That IP is a private IP.
This app is very particular. It'll be use only in a restricted LAN (with the database Oracle in this LAN). So, no connection by the Internet to the database. That's why webservice is not the good solution for me. The direct connection to the OracleDB is, I think, the best solution, but I've to fix this problem...Since I haven't done any mobile programming I can't be sure but that looks extremely unlikely to me.
A mobile/cell doesn't connect to a local network. It connects to a service provider which does a redirect, via the internet. Thus a local (private IP) connection cannot work. (That is what the 'data' fee is for.)
Now if and only if the mobile has a true wireless modem in it then it would need to connect to a lan wireless router which itself was set up to do a local redirect. So two points of failure there: the wireless modem and the lan router. If either is not set up then it will fail.
And if you have a wireless modem on your dev box then you can test the connectivity from there to the database just as the mobile would. To be safe yank your network cable before testing.

You Upgraded to OS 10.2.1 and want to run Android Apps on Your BB10? Install Snap to Your Device!

If you've upgraded to OS 10.2.1.x on your BB10 device you can now install any free Android app directly to your BB10 smartphone directly without any special converting and without the need to connect to your PC. This opens up BB10 to the thousands of Android apps available in the Google Play store. However, you need an app to quickly search for and install these Android apps.
The best app available so far is called Snap. Unfortunately, Snap can't be installed directly to the device since it's a native BlackBerry app and is not yet available in the BlackBerry App Store. However, it can be quickly loaded to your BB10 device using your PC.
Here is a quick and easy way of installing Snap on your BB10 device using your PC. Once Snap is installed on your device you won't need your computer to install Android apps on your device!
1.   Download Sachesi for your computer Platform, i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux (Don't download the Sachesi bar file for BlackBerry or the apk file for Android)
Sachesi
2. Download Snap from here:
Snap
3. Connect your BB with the USB cable.
4. Double click on the Sachesi app you downloaded.
5. When it opens, click the "Install" tab. (If your device requires a password enter it here.)
6. Drag the Snap bar filed you downloaded in step 2 into the box under the install tab. As soon as you drop the file it will load to the device.
7. That's it! You can disconnect your device and enjoy direct downloading of Android apps on your BB10 device by opening Snap and using your Google Account.
Note: Not all Android apps will run on the BB10 and, occasionally, an app will not work quite as expected. However, the vast majority do run normally.

Prevent android app audio playing when minimised

My android app has some looping background audio. When I minimise the app by selecting the "home" button on my Nexus 7 - the app disappears but I can still hear the audio playing. I assume the app must be still active in the background. The same app on the iPad doesn't exhibit this behaviour so I guess something different in how Android deals with apps that are not in the foreground.
Would appreciate advice on best way to prevent this audio playing. Ideally I don't want to completely shut down the app when minimised.
All advice much appreciated
My app was compiled with Flash CS6 and Air 3.5.

I listen for Event.DEACTIVATE
