About the Shopping ListA shopping list for those who want to save money, not spend it. Android Developer Challenge criteriaOur shopping list application will meet the following criteria of the Android Developer Challenge Terms and Conditions:
How to use the shopping list as a user
How to access the shopping list as a developer
// Initialize the convenience functions:
Shopping.mContentResolver = getContentResolver();
// create a new item
// (or get existing one if it exists already)
long itemID = Shopping.getItem("apples");
// get the default shopping list
long listID = Shopping.getDefaultList();
// put the item into the list
Shopping.addItemToList(itemID, listID);
// show the list
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.MAIN_ACTION, Shopping.Lists.CONTENT_URI);
startActivity(intent);The member functions defined in the provider class Shopping are convenience functions that communicate to the appropriate ContentProvider. You are free to access the ContentProviders directly as well. Why should I use your shopping list instead of the one provided by insert vendor here?Our shopping list is open source and free, and will stay free forever. You don't need to sign up or sign in anywhere, just download and use it. You will not see any ads that you don't want to see. If you want, you can use the list like any other piece of paper. If you want, you can have your list search for special offers and coupons by your favorite shops on any items you have added. What is OpenIntents about? Is it just a shopping list?No. The shopping list is a merely a fancy start, but we have much more in preparation. The main purpose of OpenIntents is to provide basic functionality in an open form that many (commercial and non-commercial) programs can access.

Version: Nov 30, 2007 - Jan 7, 2008#summary We define and implement useful open intents for the Android platform. List of ideas, The project idea, We share the prize, Projects that support OpenIntents We design and implement open intents and interfaces to make Android applications work more closely together. Welcome to OpenIntentsImagine your Android "cookbook" application tells you to buy eggs, ginger, and cardamom, your "birthday reminder" application suggests you to buy a blue tulip (for a friend who loves the color blue), and your computer at home notifies your mobile phone that the color cartridge of your printer is almost empty. Would you like to receive three notifications by three different programs next time you are close to a supermarket? Or rather have them all store that information in your central shopping list? (by the way, your internet auction application that watches the central shopping list has already found an interesting offer for that blue tulip...) Imagine you have to specify for a handful of programs (the favorite "ring-tone selector" application, your "answering machine", your "smart to-do list", your "calendar", your "work time log", ...) where your "home", your "office", "gym", "music school", etc. is located by specifying the latitude and longitude or the corresponding street address for each of these applications. Would you not rather have a central place for your favorite locations that all applications can easily share? (Many more ideas can be found on our list of ideas) Keep your one great idea a secret that could make you win the Android Developer Challenge, but share those obvious and common ideas that you encounter while implementing and that you think could be used in many other applications as well. We will develop the most-required components together (e.g. a central shopping list), so you can concentrate on implementing your core idea (e.g. the weight-watching cookbook) while having interoperability with many other great OpenIntents applications built in right from the start. Join this project if you have great ideas to share or if you are a good developer and look for a low-risk project.
If you want to participate, are eligible to do so, and agree to our terms and conditions, do not hesitate to join our project. Any help is welcome and will be rewarded. Now, jump directly to the and start contributing! |
