Could anyone show me a way on how to integrate the traffic info app Waze into the website?
I have looked up the previous post but somehow there is no answer to it.
Waze is an application, which offers an actual traffic information. There is also a livemap Waze livemap - where are marks as you can see.
So, I found some site - egaraz and I'm really curious how did they get the data from Waze.
Programming is not my main field but a could still understand some basic php coding.
Could someone suggest me a working solution?
Thanks
a while ago i wrote this project:
https://github.com/Nimrod007/waze-api
you can run this api and get:
get address list from free text
get routes by address (text)
get routes by coordinates
get traffic notification
get navigation instructions
link to full docs:
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Nimrod007/waze-api/blob/master/docs.html
After googling I found that WAZE has an API for developers which you can use. They have given sample code only for android and ios. I am not sure about php. Check this link from waze developer - http://www.waze.com/dev/documentation/

I want to create an app for a website that I don't own, like youtube or reddit. Every time I search for help, all I keep getting is how to create a webview. I've done that but that's not what I want. I want to take the website's content and create an app with it, like create my own buttons and such. I want to convert a website into an app.
I was thinking of somehow loading the website in the background and creating activities/buttons/intents that basically do what the webpage does but I don't know how to go about that or if there's a better way.
Thank you in advance.
Please let me know if clarification is needed.
Alright i got -3 votes for some reason and it has been 12 hours since i posted this question, i'm guessing the question has been consumed by the abyss of questions by now.
I made a reddit post and got some responses:
one user:
The term you’re looking for is “web scraping“ or “site scraping”. I think that’s probably what you need to research before you’re ready to handle how to make that into an app.
That’s a good starting point and once you have the content from scraping, making the app is no different than any other app.
second user:
If the website has a public (or private) API, you can use your buttons and networking calls to their API to build your client app. You are building a "YouTube client" in this case using the YouTube API.
If they dont have an API and you don't want to display their website, what you are doing is trying to reverse engineer their website and hijack the UI which is not a good practice and may even be illegal depending on the site and terms.
third user:
#second user is right on the money, but one thing I'll like to add is, the goal is to get data off of the website so that you can use in your app. An API is one (convenient) way of doing that but others are,
RSS or similar feed content (prefer this if there website supports)
HTML scraping
The above two will require you store the data somewhere else (and possible expose an API instead) because of technical reasons: you don't have access to older entries in RSS feeds and it's atrocious to keep on scraping everytime you need to access the website data. They can be done on the client (mobile app) but are best done on a server. This means you might need to get your hands dirty writing server code but you don't have to.
/thread
I'm going to do research on website scrapping and APIs to see which route i should go.
Hopefully this helped someone else.
I am interested to enable google push notification for my web application in Chrome. I want to use Java as primary programming language. I tried to look at many examples but I didn't get caught of any information which helps me. Can anyone please let me know how to start with?

I would start by looking at the notification API. It is much simpler to use. To find examples of the I would direct you to Youtube with the exact same question. The Rich Notification is a very complex system, but google also but out a few videos on how to use them.
Ok so I use Ajax Chat (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ajax-chat/) and it is a great chat script. I use the MyBB Integrated version and all is well. What I am wanting to know is how I could add voice capabilities.
Basically each channel would be similar to a Yahoo chat room and have a talk button. This way someone could talk and the rest of the room could hear.
Flash is NOT an option, and I tried RED5 with it and the results were terrible. Bad quality, couldnt hear half of the time, etc.
I have searched and searched and searched and all I find is calling, IP-to-IP, etc.
I would like to do this in JAVA if possible which is not one of my best languages. I do have root access to my server and it is linux (CentOS). So what I really need is a point in the right direction on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
The best way to do this is to use the Java Speech API. You can find out more information about this at this site. This question was already answered actually in this link.
Hello I am trying to pull information from a page on Wikia for The Beatles and I am not sure how I would even start to go about this, I am making an app where I have a listview of The Beatles' albums and when someone clicks on the album name I want to pull the info from the Wikia to my app so I don't have to update it with new info when and if more is added at a later time. But I cannot figure out how I would get the info from these pages. In my app I have the layout so it has the little sub-titles like the wikia such as Tracks, Side 1, Side 2 and so on. the wikia is located at http://beatles.wikia.com/wiki/Please_Please_Me_(album), and the subtitles give me the address of http://beatles.wikia.com/wiki/Please_Please_Me_(album)#Side1, if someone could please shed some light on how I could do this that would be a great help, I thank you in advance.
I was also thinking of just directing the app to show the mobile version of the wikia page in the app but I don't want my app to suffer from people saying "oh why is it like this when you can just go to this page in your browser? I want to have as much originality as I can, but if someone thinks this would be the best way to go please let me know your thoughts. Thank you all again.

Wikia is based on the new Nirvana Application Framework.
Request an API key
Read the documentation from here
Send appropriate requests to get the required information.
You can also use any of the following client libraries.
I have been tasked for university to program a mobile phone application. I have oppted for two mobiles to communicate with each other via message.
I would like the application to connect the mobile to the internet to send the message and the other mobile to connect to the internet to recieve the message.
I am using Eclipse IDE.
Does anyone have any ideas for good examples of similar application source code so I can develop my application using appropriate protocols.
I would appreciate any advice and I am certainly not looking for someone to give me "the answer" I am really looking forward to getting stuck in. Though I have never touched an android phone let alone programed one. So some advice would be amazing!!
Thanks

Get used to this site: http://developer.android.com/index.html Learn it, love it. It's full of useful information. The Videos section gives plenty of live talks about what exactly Android is among other topics. One of the first things you need to do is go to the SDK section. It gives a detailed guide on how to get setup. The Dev Guide is great for learning more about Android and how to program Android apps (not just Java programs) especially while just getting started. Resources is full of code examples and articles on specific issues and Reference is the entire platform documentation. #Matthew Willis has already given a helpful link from the Dev Guide.
Look around the site, download and install the SDK, and come back whenever you have any questions. Good Luck!
Before you determine the technical solution you need to figure out how any two devices that don't know about each other will communicate.
In your case, where you seem to be attempting to develop some kind of peer-to-peer solution you most probably will need some kind of server in between where your phones send messages to and poll for messages.
If you are using WIFI, you would have each phones IP address and could configure each phone to communicate with each other directly.
Once you determine your architecture then something simple like http may be enough to communicate.
You might check out What is Android? to get an idea of the frameworks/libraries that are available on Android. Reading the links in the left pane at that site lead you through a nice series of articles about Android.
In terms of ways for two devices to communicate, they are many and difficult to enumerate. In general you will have much better luck with specific questions here than you will with broad questions.
You might be interested in reading about C2DM for pushing messages to a device; if not, there are many other alternatives involving polling.
GCM CSS is probably your best bet
