I am a c# programmer. I have currently installed and integrated Monodroid into my Visual Studio and all going good. Recently(yesterday), we had a chat in our office and another programmer suggested Xamarin. We both did enough research. Which technology do you guys suggest? Is there any other better & competitive solution? Thanks.

For .Net developers, Xamarin Mono Android is the best option. There is no reason I see why to use Davlink/Java when we can do the same thing in C#.
The only thing to note is the developer license when it comes installing into physical device. There is a 399 USD developer license cost which is not a big money when it comes to the ease to .Net developers to use their existing library to create mobile application rapidly.
Have a look at my latest Monodroid application in C#.

The Stock market link you provided me is very impressive. Thanks.

I second Sandip's suggestion to consider Xamarin.
But keep in mind that MonoDroid doesn't support every Android API (but it's pretty close). MonoDroid will always be a version or two behind the latest version of Android, but for most devs, the convenience and productivity gain of using VStudio will outweigh the lack of API coverage. Also, from my testing, MonoDroid doesn't visibly impact the app's performance.

Thanks Ravi,
We ended up with bending towards Monodroid.

Very happy to hear that! If possible, please keep the CP community updated with your experiences (good and bad) with it.
Thanks,

I found Whatsapp-API[^]
I tested the sample, really it's very SIMPLE to use (unlike WCF after using for two years I still prefer good old socket) - but it charges "USD59 for 1000 credits" (I am still trying to clarify and confirm if one credit = one message)
But I want to ask, anyone has a better recommendation?
Thanks

Firs of all - WCF, Socket are nothing related to WhatsApp-Api.
They used simple http post for communicating through the gateway.
This approach is very common and widely used for all SMS Service Provider. The reason is to give ease to developer to use HTTP Post rather than web service, WCF and others.
Second, credit doesn't mean number of sms. As SMS are sending worldwide, charges are different for each carrier. One sms can charge .4 or .5 or .8 whatever it is but in credits.
Last question, is selecting service provider. This thing you can google to get the best.
Don't always go for chaeaper SMS Provider. No guarantee in delivery. Better to choose well known SP. I use clickatell for many years and they seems to have good delivery.

"Firs of all - WCF, Socket are nothing related to WhatsApp-Api."
I know it has nothing to do with socket/WCF and it's not what I asked, did you read the question?
"Second, credit doesn't mean number of sms."
I check - 1000 credits = 1000 whatsapp msg.
What SMS?! Again you read the question?
"This thing you can google to get the best."
Dude, I didn't come here for recommendation to use Google!?

Good thanks. I'm not familiar with SMS security however - do you know if SMS are encrypted like HTTPS?

Hello all!
This is Leor Zahavi. I want to learn mobile application development. I am just a beginner and having a very little knowledge about mobile application development. So please suggest me some tutorial and other sources from where, I can learn about UIT and SDK platforms.
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
There's tons of information and lots of free tools available. But first I recommend you pick a platform. HTML5/JS, Android, iOS or WinRT? There are others, but these are the big players.

We desperately need some help. We're having some terrible problems with a touch icon for Android. Everything works perfectly on an iPhone but we've been battling with Android for over a week and it absolutely refuses to work. The touch icon created on one Android appears pixelated and on another it appears very small.
Following Apple's guidelines we created the following touch icons - I've given the full URLs for the files so that you can see them - they're publicly available on a live web server:
http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png
http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-57x57-precomposed.png
http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-72x72-precomposed.png
http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-114x114-precomposed.png
http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png
As per Apple guidelines, each icon is the sise described in its filename.
The mobile version of our system
http://www.faclair.com/m/[^]
has the following HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="57x57" href="http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-57x57-precomposed.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="72x72" href="http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-72x72-precomposed.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="114x114" href="http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-114x114-precomposed.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="144x144" href="http://www.faclair.com/apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png" />
We're aware that some versions of Android require the full URL to be specified so we've done that. We're also aware that some versions of iPhone and Android can't read the sizes attribute so we tried a default apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png file at both 144x144 and 57x57 but neither worked.
We suspect that Android might have some incorrect caching behavior because nothing we do can make Android change the favicon it is using (clearing the browser cache doesn't help). Even changing to a completely different image in the png file on the server it appears to be impossible to make Android change the image it uses - deleting the webpage link on the home screen, deleting the browser favorite, clearing the browser cache and re-creating the home screen link it still uses the same icon regardless of the icon file on the server.
The application has a favicon and we suspect that Android may be incorrectly using that instead of one of the touch icon files.
What makes the situation worse is that when we first tried this we didn't follow Apple's naming conventions and it worked on an iPhone and one out of two Androids. We changed to comply with Apple's recommendations in the hope of getting it to work on both Android devices. The above works on the iPhone but neither of the Android phones (on one the icon ix pixelated and on the other it is very small).
All devices are physical devices - not emulators.
We'd be very grateful for any help.

The web server this is hosted on is IIS.
One device is Kernel version 2.6.29 zte-kernel@Zdroid-SMT (An orange San Francisco - Baseband version P729BB01 Firmware version 2.1-update1) using the native browser.
The other device is 2.6.32.9-perf root@dell104 #1 build nr froyo.xwjpj - on this device both the native browser and Opera Mini were tried.

Hello all,
I'm writting this post to get an overview and advice from you once the introduction and requisites are introduced.
INTRODUCTION
In our company we are about to install optical fiber. 
This will allow us to start using our phones in a different way, we are planning to install a new hybrid PBX system that will allow us to use VOIP.
Today we are using Blackberry 9300 phones as we have two big requsites:
- being able to use e-mail.
- having not expensive international data traffic.
It seems after installing the optical fiber we will have a CISCO 1800 router.
We will be able to set some VPN to get the SIP profiles in our PBX available for our phones.
Using blackberry and the free BESx (Blackberry Enterprise Server Express) I'll be able to sync mails with exchange (which we still don't have).
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET
- Mail syncronization with Outlook (if possible without exchange to avoid spending money on that).
- Being able to make calls using an integrated SIP client.
- I would like to be sure that the integration is good, that I can use the normal contacts and that meanwhile I have the SIP application running the calls go through SIP.
- I would not like to be disturbed by calls using the norlam line while I'm speaking through SIP.
- Being able to share the internet connection with my laptop.
QUESTION
Which phone would you recommend me in which I could achieve what I would like to get? and why?
Which SIP client would you recommend me? and why?
Thank you all!

Hi,i'm a computer science student in just foundation, i'm absolutely new and still learning programming C#. I wish to program for ios, android, and WP8 asap as the market is growing competitive so can should i do in order to ensure i can developing great app??
Believing myself can do something great...

The first thing you need to do is decide which of the three you want to develop for, and start studying from there. There are articles here on CodeProject[^] which will help you get started.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

thank you, that definitely help a lot but how would i start from the very beginning?
