If you've created an application that you plan to publish to Google Play, it is strongly recommended that you upload it to Google Play before you share the app with anyone else. Otherwise, you run the risk of having someone else publish your app to the market as their own creation, preventing you from publishing it yourself. While this may not often occur, it is something to be aware of.

Apps in Google Play are identified by their package name. Each package name can only be used by a single app; no two apps in the market can have the same

StartApp is another AdNetwork that Andromo developers can use to monetize their Andromo apps. Adding StartApp banners and/or interstitials to your app is a very simple procedure much like other ad networks:

For more information on the Flicker activity please see the Flickr activity knowledge base article.

Finding your Flickr User ID

It is important to remember that your Flickr User ID is not your Flickr screen name or username. Flicker User ID’s are (mostly) numeric strings that uniquely identify you on Flickr. The easiest way to get your user ID is to get it from the URL of your photostream. For example my photostream URL is:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/66756369@N03/

My User ID is the string after /photos/ and before the final  /   so my User ID is:

66756369@N03

The first step in creating your project is describing your app and selecting an application icon.

Basic App Information

App Name The App Name is the name that will be shown on the action bar on top of the dashboard and underneath your app icon. Below is an example using the App Name "Redline News."

App Version The version number allows you to keep track of releases of your app. Once you release your app to the public you will want to increment this version number each time you distribute a new version (1.0.0, 1.0.1 etc.). If your app is in Google

As soon as you set a splash screen or change interstitial ads frequency lower than 2 minutes at your project we consider them to be using advanced monetization features and start counting interstitial ads impressions with impressions budget turning on. They will be counting unless developer stays at Ultra plan.

Every great app starts with an idea. Here's our best advice on how to find a successful idea for your app

Use your hobbies

Do you have any hobbies or interests? Things that you enjoy make great subjects for an app. If you’re going to put time and effort into something, why not make it something you’re already interested in?

Try to think of ways that you can make an app that would be useful to other people with the same interests. What would you have liked to know when you first got started? Would other people be interested in

Images

The Images section allows you to provide the images to show on the activity and those that will be used to represent it on it's parent dashboard and navigation drawer.

Background Image (Where Available) The background image is an optional image that can be shown behind the activity's content (only available on some activity types).

• None - Don't use a background image.
• Inherit from theme - Use the theme's background image. The theme is specified by the Theme Mode of the activity.
• Custom - Enables the Custom Background Image Settings section of settings allowing you to upload a background image for the activity.

Problems Saving the Application File

Your android application can either be downloaded from the link in the build email that was sent to you, or using the Download item in the Action drop-down list next to your project on your My Projects page.

If you encounter a message about the file being "not commonly downloaded" refer to the App Download Problem in Desktop Browsers knowledge base article.

If you encounter a problem with the download link related to a specific browser, or security settings, try right-clicking on the download link and selecting "Save Link As..." as shown below (text may vary between browsers).

 My Download Link

If you've decided that you'd like to put your new application in Google Play, you'll need to decide whether you're planning to make the application free, or charge for it. This initial decision is fairly important given the rules of Google Play.

If you publish your application and make it free, you cannot at a later date start charging for the same application. This is one of the rules of Google Play. If you would like to start charging for the application, you need to create a new project in Andromo that contains the same information, and upload that to
