Creating Apps - Where do I start?

Hello,
I'm trying to get info for a friend who wants to know how she can create apps for iphones. Can any PC platform be used? Mac only? can she use an iPad? I searched Google for "How to create apps for iphone" and turned up a dismal hit list.
Any info will be appreciated.

The Software Development Kit is only for Intel-based Mac computers.
Read the details here: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/iphonedevelopment/000-Introduction/introduction.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP40007959-CH1-SW1

IPhone APPS WHERE DO I START????

Im trying to find out just *some basic info* and the iPhone Dev Center main page is VERY confusing and frustrating. Im about to give up before getting started.
I just want to know...do I need a Mac to create apps or can I buy and iPhone and do it on that? I just cant seem to find out this basic info. Im pulling my hair out. This info needs to be very clear if at all on this main page.
I sign-up as a free Registered iPhone Developer - but the page,,,for HOURS ON FREAKIN' END just says;
*We are processing your request. Please wait a few moments then refresh this page.*
I want to pay for the Enterprise Program at $299 but I cant even get on the free page so Ill be skinned if I pay $300 for a page I cant get onto.
***....very frustratd!!! Im also constantly asked to log in on each new page I visit as well. I registered and recieved the dev conformation. i already have an Apple account.
So what do i need to do to create iPhone apps? Can i do it on my Windows XP box?
thanks for reading

What's the difference between the Standard at $99 and the free SDK?
The $99 gets you access to the 3.0 SDK.
If you register here:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/start/register/
You can access the 2.2.1 version for free.
Perhaps the 3.0 version will also be free once the iPhone 3.0 update happens this summer.

Where do i start creating apps?

I used to be a pretty good programmer back in the good old days. If I wanted to have a go at creating an app for the TouchPad, where do I start?
alan
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Right here: https://developer.palm.com/content/home.html
Take a look at the Quick Start guides, they may be of some guidance.

I am creating apps. Can someone tell me where to send the idea to get money or learn how to code so I can code it myself??? Please?

This was a kickstarter project project - they released a version of this and are now working on version 2 - its designed to work with most cases
( i have no financial interest in the company - i just supported their kickstarter projects)

you might contact them and see if version 1 is still available for purchase

Will JDev support App Server interfaces like start/stop/deploy/debug?

I don't see support for any application servers from with in JDeveloper IDE the way Eclipse Webtools provides.
JDev only creates a WAR/EAR file and copies for hot deployment in the App Servers.
Will there be any future support for Servers like JBoss/Webshpere/Weblogic/Tomcat/Geronimo etc. where I can start/stop the server and debug the Application from with in IDE.
I tried with Tomcat/JBoss I can't do anything to start/stop etc. for this from IDE like many IDEs suport.
The support lacks completely in the IDE although I see they create the Vendor specific app server xml deployment descriptors being created.
I feel this a must to have.

Do you have any plan as the IDE is moving ahead ?
It would be exceptionally helpful if we have the same support of Eclipse Webtools and IntelliJ to deploy/undeploy/start/stop/debug etc. for the popular App Servers (including Websphere).
Otherwise, for these App Server projects JDev has to give way to other IDEs.
some initial missing features are never worked out in this IDE.
Like a) clickable URL Go To Declaration doesn't show a hover button.
b) No distinguished icons for Class/Interface/Enum/abstract class/ final class etc.

App Server Fails to Start after Installation

Hi,
I've spent a whole day struggling with this, looking through forum discussions and trying out every single suggestion I've come across in the forums. I'm running out of ideas now and really appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
I'm trying to install SJSC2 (also tried with SJSC2u1 with the same outcome) on a new HP notebook (nw9440) running WinXP_sp2. I'm using the default installation done by HP.
My installation path is C:\Java\SunCreator2 (C:\Java\SunCreator2_1 for update 1).
After the installation the App server fails to start up and gives the below error in the server.log.
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d779c9d, pid=5368, tid=5760

I've tried every workaround I've seen in the forums such as installing under different paths (both with spaces and without spaces), cleaning all the temporary files in the Temp directory, renaming the productregistry in the windows system directory. Each time I get the exact same error in the install.log.
I also tried installing the stand alone SUN App Server 8.1_02_2005Q2 as well as 8.2. I don't seem to have any issue with this installation or running of the stand alone server at all on the same machine.
Really appreciate any help I can get. TIA....

Hi,
After spending more time looking through the forum, I came across the below thread which has worked in my case (though it was suggested for Sol10x86).
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=62404&messageID=243113
This is the workaround that worked in my case.
> $ cd <Creator_Home>/SunAppServer8/lib
$ mv processLauncher.xml processLauncher.xml.trayIcon
$ cp processLauncher.xml.bak processLauncher.xml
# If you have a domains/creator/config/domain.xml
$ cd ../bin
$ ./asadmin start-domain creator
This started the app server. After that I was able to start and stop app server within the JSC as well.
Only difference between these two xml files seem to be,
processLauncher.xml.trayicon
<main_class classname="com.sun.rave.tray.RavePEMain"/>
processLauncher.xml
<main_class classname="com.sun.enterprise.server.PEMain"/>
Possibly pointing to a bug in the "com.sun.rave.tray.RavePEMain" class.
Thanks for your suggestions guys... and especially to Marco and Greg.

IBM WPS: Error While Creating App and Int Server Connections in JDev 10g

Hi,
I have been struggling to create App Server and Int Server connections in JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 without any luck.
The JDeveloper is present on VM ware machine from which I'm trying to establish the connections to remote server where SOA Suite 10g is installed on IBM Websphere.
My Settings:
App Server:
Connection Type: Standalone OC4J 10.1.3
RMI: tried WC_defaulthost port, 6003, RMI default port (How do I get the actual value of RMI on IBM Websphere and does this really make a difference?)
Connection test fails with Mbean error. Ignored this error as documented in Installation guide.
Int Server:
Used the above App Server connection, gave the http port value of 9700 (also the WC_defaulthost on IBM Websphere)
Connection test fails for App Server, BPEL PM Server and ESB Server.
I have gone through other threads where different workarounds were suggested but none of them worked for me. The workaround of adding the property ipaddr with the value 0.0.0.0 in opmn.xml doesn't hold good here as IBM WPS doesn't have OPMN.
Please suggest a working solution for this issue.
Regards,
CC

The below message comes when you don't specify any default file for your webcenter portal application and this should not be any problem.
Target Portal.jpr is not runnable, using default target index.html.
Can you answer to my questions:
1. Did you just created a new wcp application in jdev and ran it with out doing any changes? If you have done what are the changes?
2. How did you ran your application? (right clicking a particular page or right clicking your portal project and selected "run" option?

How do I remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu?

So with three separate builds of WTP I've run the PowerShell command to remove Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps. With each build, it also removes the Start Menu. In the thread below, an MS Support person mentioned that that command was only for Windows
8.x and shouldn't be run on WTP. What? Then why is that command still available? And, why will it remove some Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps, but not others? Are they marked as System required? Why isn't the Start Menu marked as System required? You'd
think that the start menu would be pretty important.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/053f63bc-c174-44f1-8f6c-8ead1ad965fb/spartan-and-start-menu-on-10049?forum=WinPreview2014General
So, with the start menu being an XAML app, how do I safely remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu? I have no use for them and don't want them on my computer. Period. There has to be some command like the one we used
in Windows 8.x that will allow use to remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu.
Don't give an answer like "just right-click and uninstall". That doesn't work for all of these things, and do you know how long it takes to do that for all of those silly things? Too long! That's also not practical for an Enterprise desktop. It's
also not practical to leave all of that junk on the desktop, so don't suggest that either.
Dan

The problem with PowerShell and all of those scripts is that those particular scripts require a lot of typing, or copy and paste, or having to figure out where all of those apps are stored and then insert their convoluted names into the script. For
me, scripting is like programming. I have no desire to be a programmer/developer.
I just want an option in Programs and Features to be able to turn these "features" off. We were able to do it in previous versions of Windows. If we didn't want Internet Games, we uncheck the box. If we don't want our users to be able to print
documents over the Internet, we uncheck the box. And so on down the line for any other "feature" we didn't want our enterprise users to have.
Or, we could turn those features off using the System Image Manager. Now we have to write some convoluted script with even more convoluted commands for even more convoluted names for things we don't want.
The easier script in Windows 8.x was just get-appxpackages -online | remove-appxpackages. That removed the majority of the apps for an individual user. The remove-appxprovisionedpackage command, with the convoluted name of the app, would remove them from
the hard drive - one app at a time, but that doesn't work in Windows 10.
So, they came up with a DISM command, but that doesn't work in Windows 10 either. I should say that with my limited developer skills I haven't found a way to make it work.
Again, I have no desire to be a developer/scripter. They are the same thing in my book. I'm a systems engineer. I do operating systems, not write applications.

So, I guess there is no real answer to this question.

Creating a where clause in the LOV query box

Hi guys is any able to help me with this one
i have a page in my app where there is a LOV drop down now the values for this drop down comes from a table that looks like this
users_for _form_TBL
E_MAIL
Vendor
[email protected]
oracle
[email protected]
sap
[email protected]
IBM
[email protected]
Oracle
[email protected]
intergraph
So my syntax for the LOV i mentioned looks like this
select VENDOR as display_value, VENDOR as return_value
from form_user_tab where E_MAIL = :APP_USER
order by 1 ;
so if [email protected] logs onto the app and has to make a selection on the LOV it would only display the vendors relative to his E_MAIL like oracle ,sap, IBM then he hits the submit button on the page then the vendor that he selected is inserted into another table .What i did on the insert table was create a trigger that after a vendor is inserted the trigger inserts a 1 into a column called assessed .
What i did after this was add a select in the where clause of the LOV so that it would check in the insert table if that vendor had been chosen before and not display it again to be selected my syntax the second time around in the SQL query box was
select VENDOR as display_value, VENDOR as return_value
from users_for _form_TBL where E_MAIL = :APP_USER
and (select 'vendor' , 'ASSESSD' from inserted _tbl_imp is null);
order by 1 ;
But im getting an error any ideas guys .Thank you

Hay man thanks for that info on the Tom Kyte Blog
--(the code you gave me )
select
    u.vendor display_value
, u.vendor return_value
from
    users_for_form_tbl u
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select null from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
order by
    u.vendor
--(After the error i tried )Then when i got the error i try'd using 'or exists' like this
--(code)
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select null from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
                      or exists (select null from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
order by
    u.vendor
But the all the vendors that where in the same in the insert table came up in the drop down list example is oracle was assessed before then only oracle would appear in the drop down list and if it was assessed 3 times it would come up 3 times
--Then i tried to select where 'Assessed' is null   ('Assessed' is a column in the insert table which i created a trigger on to insert 1 in the 'ASSESSED' column when a vendor is begin assessed )
--(code)
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select 'ASSESSED' from inserted_tbl_imp i where 'ASSESSED' is null )
order by
    u.vendor
This try didnt return any vendors at all
--Then i tried distinct
--(code)
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select distinct 'VENDOR', from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
order by
    u.vendor
This gave me a LOV ERROR
This is what i have tried so far there where others syntax's i tried last night as well but most of them came back as errors . Thanks again for you time and help fac586

Dont know where to even start

Well I really need som help on where to even start this program? I'd send u what i have so far but its so full of errors i'd be embarsed. I'll prob need to just start a new and was wondering where the heck i should even begin:
Problem Statement: Your need to Create a public class 'MathQuiz' that extends JApplet and implements ActionListner. Basically the program is aimed at helping elementary school students learn basic math operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and additionally the modulus operator.
Program first prompts user for an integer 1 to 5 to indicate choice of math operation in a JTextField as 1: for addition 2: for subtraction 3: for multiplication 4: for division (typically in java integer division) and 5: for modulus (remainder value in a division).
Use Math.random() to produce two positive integers, first integer in the range of 11 to 20 and second integer in the range of 1 to 10. Then frame a question of user's choice of operation with these two numbers and prompt user for his response to the question.
Accept user's response in a JTextField and upon click of "Enter" button evaluate user's response and display message in applet container's status bar. If the response is correct display "Very good!" and ask another question of the same math operation. If the response is wrong display" No. Please try again" on applet's status bar and let user try the same question until the user gets it right.
A separate method is to be defined to generate question that takes the argument of user's choice, generates the random numbers in required range and employing 'switch' selection structure formulates the appropriate question. This method should be called each time user changes his choice in the JTextField and each time the user answers questions correctly.
If the user enters a number other than 1 to 5 in the choice JTextField, program should display 'Invalid input" message is status bar and instead of framing a question prompt the user for only "valid" choice number.
I'm new at this so this is quite a task for me to tackle. any sugestions would be greatly appricated!
well i guess i'll give what i've got so far dont laugh to hard.
// MathQuiz.java
// math quiz
// Java core packages
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
// Java extension packages

its a start right? any help

Is there a app where I can protect my starcraft account???

is there a app where I can protect my starcraft account???

Get the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator (supports iOS 3.0 or better) to protect your Blizzard Entertainment accounts as follows
>Battle.net
>World of Warcraft
>Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
You can also use this even OFFLINE. You get different codes that you have to enter to log in (code changes every 30 seconds).
How to Set It Up?
Go to the app. It should take you to set up automatically (if not go to menu and tap setup) You will be given a Serial number and your first code to start off. Tap continue and you will get this:
Once the Authenticator is fully ready, you can tap View Code and you will get random codes that you HAVE to type in every time you log in. The code changes every 30 seconds.
THIS IS HOW TO SET UP:

Have you set up a wildcard DNS entry for the spapps.com domain?
Also if you're trying to connect from the server you might be hitting loop back check issues.

How can I start or open Firefox?

HI SBPARK,
When you installed Firefox, did you uncheck the option to create a short cut?
In order to pin to the toolbar, when you have Firefox open, right click on the icon in the bar and select "Pin to task bar".

I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>

'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.
*"'''Restartless Restart'''" extension for Firefox 4.0+ only (2 KB download ) <br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/249342/
*For older versions use "'''QuickRestart'''" extension (34 KB download) (<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3559/
