With the same level of search optimization on the stores, I guess BlackBerry or IPhone, I'm not sure for IPhone. But BlackBerry would fetch you more because BB World search Algorithm is just too good

CRAZYMADMAN:
Just curious though,
suppose I develop the same application for both Ios applestore and Android playstore and happen to have about the level of search optimization, which is more likely to fetch me more cash and by what margin?

Akprof:
Exactly, pls can u help out?

The showConfirmDialog returns an integer so you assign the method to an int variable. Then you can check by checking the value of the int variable. JOptionPane class has some fields you can use to check the exact button that was clicked. See an example:

int ans = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Confirm";
        if(ans == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
        {
            System.out.print("Yeeeeeeeeeeeea";
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.print("HELL NO";
        }

Replace the annoying smiley face with a closing bracket

What exactly do you need, how to get what the person clicked on ?

Akprof:
Hi my fellow Programmer/Nairalander, pls I need an assistance on to use the confirm dialog. YES or NO (i`e JOptionPane.showComfirmDialog(.........). Thanks a lot ).

I don't think you actually just magically start to write a key gen/patch or crack from scratch. Normally cracks for example are just the edited versions of the original exe. So what happens is, you decompile it, edit it to remove the protection and recompile it. For recent apps that are now very sophisticated, you might need a debugger to read through each line of the decompiled program as it runs, eventually, you would find the line responsible for the protection and you can redirect the code.
I once tried it but recent apps are tooo sophissticated.... Its easier to just buy the app

nembudziya:
How do you code, and make 1?

That's a weird name though

Luedave:
dude d truth is naija programers dnt know how to optimize their apps and use keywords well. Imagine a app called 'myorbi', wen i searchd 4 'orbi', i didnt c it, i search 4 'myorb, myorbi', yet didnt c it until i searchd ''Myorbi" tru google and saw d owner playstore link. Now tell me how that app would get downloads

I won't need it cause my school allows unlimited access to Lynda.com. But thanks

212blaze:
Like that's the exact reason I'm not giving it out totally free + people like the fatbabakay kill me.
Send me your mail and id hook u up with one for free.



Send your mail and id hook you up with one for free.

And to add to Myhelper123, a client server architecture does not necessarily mean the server is more powerful (At least not in all cases). And your scenario where the client has exactly the same processing power with the server, the best way to use that is in Peer to Peer networks. Where each node in the network acts as both a client and a server.

No, it was done in Unity 3D. The fact that its Javascript that was used for the scripting does not make it laggy.

Borwe:
Hmm, android apps written in java script? Maybe that's why it's laggy?

No need to argue. Try putting your app on Playstore without advertising

Luedave:
op d playstore market is big and paid app sell faster there also. fb had their 1billion download only 4rm playstore

Nice

enejodM:
Yea, my partner used JavaScript

I've replied your email. Don't really understand Nairaland's messaging system

pcguru1:
Reply me ASAP it's urgent

lol, I've met people like that though.

dharyour93:
I have had a personal chat with @SeunThomas and I think he's one of the developers that believe Frame works can do all things. Even Bootstrap has its own limitations. I've seen so many time that I've had to extend bootstrap in order to suit what I'm working on.

Cream dey respond like cream true true o. And you are right, theres always a "bootstrapy" feel

dharyour93:
I use bootstrap a lot but for just scaffolding. Using bootstrap as a framework for Jr project will give U r project a bootstrapish feel. I used bootstrap for http://blitzplus.com/ as well as http://creamcompare.com/ but U won't see the bootstrapish feel.

PS: Nobody should come here and tell me Cream Compare isn't responsive.

Prof. Javascript/PHP, I'll have to disagree. Bootstrap and other frameworks are faster and easier, sure !!! But it would be weird to say Bootstrap can do things that CSS can't. "Also, no matter how good your html/css skills are it can never be better that what bootstrap offers" That's what seunthomas said

pcguru1:
100% truth. I know CSS like my drinks, and Bootstrap does 90% of what i need to write so why bother writing from scratch, all you people that write from scratch are still doing minor projects. please work in a structured company and tell them you want to build a J2EE from scratch without any framework and watch them burn you at the stakes. Frameworks are written by professionals to ensure everyone follows an ideology and easily understand a code. it would be easier for me to understand a framework code than a from scratch code. seunthomas is 100% correct for that statement.

@seunthomas dude i need to learn from you, you got some mad comments that i've been noticing when the time is right i will holla you.

Besides OP job is actually good.

Did you use Javascript in Unity 3D

First of all, if its like 700 downloads per day and u put a price tag on it, it could drop to 50-100 (People are cheap) . But at the end of the month, as long as your earnings is more than $50, you get your 70% in your paypal. That could be like $1,500 per month

@FincoApps

A Blackberry app with 100,000 downloads and 700 - 1000 daily downloads. How much in rough estimation do you think it will make?

I don't really know Playstore's search algorithm, but I know its really f*cked up. However BlackBerry revealed that the search algorithm takes the name as precedence, followed by the short description, followed by the largest phrase of your defined keywords.... and down like that. It makes search extremely effective. And also makes developers know how to target their audience.

To those that say "The market is more in Playstore" or "BlackBerry is dead". It's really obvious you guys have never put an app on BlackBerry World. And probably doesn't even have the first idea of how Playstore is . Anyway, all I can say is: most of the new developers, I'm pretty sure a BlackBerry developer earns more than you earn from my apps on BlackBerry World without a dollar of promotion.

I really love your analysis

nollyj:
This is a very interesting thread which we will benefit from. I have only develop for android so my points are based on want I have experienced.

When I started developing for android, I realized that there is business side of app development than just to write app and hoping for downloads.

Google Play store is very competitive, many companies and indie developers use so much money to promote and buy downloads for their apps so that they will rank high with their targeted keywords.

Some developers use spam and bot to rank their app. So there are many things going on in Play Store.

It is very difficult to rank an app without money for promotion or knowledge of ASO (App Store Optimization) in Google Play Store

It is easy to development simple apps in android but making money from your android app is another story.

Until you understand the secret of making apps that make money in Google Store, it will amount to waste of time and money unless you are doing it for hobby.

For Blackberry, I feel that there is no competition in their Store and it is easy for apps to get downloads.

Why I have not develop for Blackberry is that I don't know if their OS will stand the test of time. Recently I heard that Blackberry is considering using android in some of their upcoming new release.

My question to @thewebcraft and @FincoApps and other Blackberry developers here

1. Which ad network do you use in your apps?

2. Does ad pay well in Blackberry app than in Android app?

3. Does your app focus on Nigeria users or general?

Wow, really ? Did you just write that ?

seunthomas:
When your boss gives u a deadline or client gives u deadline. Do plain css and html. Dont use bootstrap or any other framework. Also no matter how good your html/css skills are it can never be better that what bootstrap offers. SELAH.

Yes I agree with you, BlackBerry Java is really, really difficult to learn and extremely difficult to design UI on. But Its not impossible. There's even an Advanced UI library that was created by BlackBerry. And cascades UI framework for BB10 is so lovely.

When it comes to downloads, I don't know how you got 1000+ in a week. But I designed my first app for BlackBerry World and it got 400 downloads everyday.(I didn't promote this app in anyway at all). I designed the same app on Playstore and first of all it was so difficult to find my own app even if I type the exact phrase of the app. The annoying thing is Apps that has nothing to do with that phrase showed up first. This never happens on BlackBerry World. And till now that app doesn't have up to 800 total downloads (this app is about a year old). Ever since then, I really disliked Playstore.

I have also seen some apps made by developers here on Playstore, they are nice, but don't get downloads. I can only imagine if it was on BlackBerry World. Finally, I don't know about Playstore but for BlackBerry World, if you send them a detailed email telling them you want your app to be featured in the store. They do listen. 2 of my apps has been featured before and I got about 2 - 4 thousand downloads everyday.

I would suggest BlackBerry World for upcoming developers.

thewebcraft:
I know you are talking about developing for Blackberry, When I first published an app two years ago on the Playstore I got 1000+ downloads in a week, On Apple i go twice the downloads.
For Blackberry, the two major pluses are:

1. Super stable OS. If you make use of the recommended best practices, you benefit greatly from RIM's solid JVM implementation and OS layer.
2. HUGE user base. Especially if your app is free (or on a freemium model) you have the potential to really benefit from a large user base that's hungry for interesting apps.

If you're new to BlackBerry you should expect 2-3 months of just becoming familiar with developing on BlackBerry and overcoming some of the initial hurdles.

The huge gap between the touch devices users (eg: Storm, now Torch...) and the trackball devices users (leading by far) was and is still a huge problem. Particularly when it's time to design a convenient UI and UX that will suite both environment.

Speaking of code, you need to know your Java. The learning curve and the availability of relevant documentations on the SDK is also lacking compared to Apple's iOS, or Android OS.

That's why you don't see much graphic designers with minor coding experience making the leap to BlackBerry Apps development as opposed to iOS and Andrioid.

I would suggest developing for either BlackBerry World or Appstore, but I'm not sure about Appstore, however BlackBerry World is great for developers.

larisoft:
looks like the kind of question that ll reveal new insights, but op, how do you mean? would u rather they developed for apple...the web... or not publish their android apps on Google play store after production?

I've been wondering why people that are talented enough to develop rich apps waste their ability, time and money to develop for Playstore. Please I need a reasonable explanation

I love the Tweety graphics. And it seems very addictive

Conc one

thewebcraft:
Lol...Yes but only when you rely 100% on them, i know a web developer who doesnt know the difference between Css margin, background-color, color and padding but knows all the bootstrap classes A-Z, that's Laziness...

hahaha no frameworks make us lazier. Besides I'm sure I'll get more respect if I say I code in machine language. I agree I love frameworks, but also create some for myself

thewebcraft:
Wrong.... Frameworks are not only bootstarp, jquery, Anjular. Nodejs they are also software's we use as developers, are you saying you've or you are not using a framework ?, why dont you code your apps with machine language, dont use any software.....

I agree with you. The fact is frameworks encourages laziness.

Pins:
Frameworks are not a replacement for a programming language,bootstrap is a product of a couple of css and javascript files working together,so is not old school to use html and css3 to design an app or website.

Can you imagine the common mistake these guys are making. I didn't even know this cause I've not really used nodeJs. But now it makes sense. Its just like the way you use Javascript to code 3D games in Unity 3D, it would be wrong and ignorant to say Unity 3D itself is a Javascript program.

pcguru1:
JavaScript is used to write Node which is used to talk to C++ atom shell/electron all the UI you see are not Native UI they are web pages and and they also bind to Native calls via C++, besides why am i even arguing what is Node built with ? ask yourself that question.

People confuse JS and Node V8 engines, JS is the script chosen to write node apps.

NOTE: I might be wrong so prove me wrong with facts and i will glady accept

What's eating you up dude

fattbabakay:
Keep it to ursef

Okay send me your contact let's chat and discuss the details.

chinoify:
Yes I do

Lol, you are never going to agree. The reality remains: 1 person can build a browser. And it's not only in Nigeria it happens. I suggest you connect with other developers on the internet.

larisoft:
I dont know...its only in Nigeria that a person tells you 1 person can do a thing; and as a proof; points you to one person who started it and abandoned it!

Anyways; we are talking about a browser which is supposed to be better than chrome here! One Naija man can build it. With mouth of course!

Congrats to the kids (whom I maintain; deserve recognition in consideration of their age) and kudos to the OP who spiced things up a little with interesting manipulation of language. But 1 person build a browser that is faster than chrome? Its possible. But I would have to see it first.

Do you have a target site ?

chinoify:
I need a bot that can work on a particular website, using proxies to click and comment.
If you can do it pls drop your phone number.
Thanks
