Configure AirPush Advertisements

First you'll need to note your Airpush <App ID> and <API Key>, which was given to you when registering your Android application on www.airpush.com.
It's numeric values that can be found by locating your app in the apps dashboard:

 

 

 

After you have got your APP ID and Your API Key, you will want to open up the AndroidManifest.xml then scroll to the bottom and you are looking for the following lines:

<meta-data android:name="com.efhgaj.kolxfg156858.APPID" android:value="163482" />
<meta-data android:name="com.efhgaj.kolxfg156858.APIKEY" android:value="android*1375746132156858438"/>

Change the values appropriately to match your values.

Please Note: For the API KEY you must KEEP the following... android* at the start of the value...

DONE, YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CONFIGURED AIRPUSH.

Importing Application to Eclipse

If you bought this application it is assumed that you have some level of programming experience. I suggest using Eclipse to make amendments to the application. Please make sure you have the Android SDK installed in conjunction with Eclipse.

The Android SDK provides you the API libraries and developer tools necessary to build, test, and debug apps for Android. If you're a new Android developer, we recommend you download the ADT Bundle to quickly start developing apps. It includes the essential Android SDK components and a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in ADT (Android Developer Tools) to streamline your Android app development.

The ADT Bundle provides everything you need to start developing apps, including a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in ADT (Android Developer Tools) to streamline your Android app development. If you haven't already.

Go Download the Android SDK Below.

Download Links

Eclipse: 32 BIT VERSION | 64 BIT VERSION

Android SDK: 32 BIT VERSION | 64 BIT VERSION

Install the SDK and Eclipse IDE

  1. Unpack the ZIP file (named adt-bundle-<os_platform>.zip) and save it to an appropriate location, such as a "Development" directory in your home directory.
  2. Open the ADT-Bundle-<os_platform>/eclipse/ directory and launch Eclipse.

That's it! The IDE is already loaded with the Android Developer Tools plugin and the SDK is ready to go.

Caution: Do not move any of the files or directories from the adt-bundle-<os_platform> directory. If you move theeclipse or sdk directory, ADT will not be able to locate the SDK and you'll need to manually update the ADT preferences.

Exporting Application to Eclipse

The Android system requires that all installed applications be digitally signed with a certificate whose private key is held by the application's developer. The Android system uses the certificate as a means of identifying the author of an application and establishing trust relationships between applications. The certificate is not used to control which applications the user can install. The certificate does not need to be signed by a certificate authority: it is perfectly allowable, and typical, for Android applications to use self-signed certificates.

All applications must be signed or Google Play Store will refuse them automatically.

Below is a video demonstration of me exporting the application within Eclipse and signing the application.

Securing Your Private Key

Maintaining the security of your private key is of critical importance, both to you and to the user. If you allow someone to use your key, or if you leave your keystore and passwords in an unsecured location such that a third-party could find and use them, your authoring identity and the trust of the user are compromised.

If a third party should manage to take your key without your knowledge or permission, that person could sign and distribute applications that maliciously replace your authentic applications or corrupt them. Such a person could also sign and distribute applications under your identity that attack other applications or the system itself, or corrupt or steal user data.

 


 Your private key is required for signing all future versions of your application. 


If you lose or misplace your key, you will not be able to publish updates to your existing application. 


You cannot regenerate a previously generated key.


 

Your reputation as a developer entity depends on your securing your private key properly, at all times, until the key is expired. Here are some tips for keeping your key secure:

In general, if you follow common-sense precautions when generating, using, and storing your key, it will remain secure.

Changing File Explorer (App Icon)

I demonstrate how to change the applications icon it is a little harder than any normal application but this application has been developed for Mobile and Tablet devices so doing the icon this way works for the compatible devices.

In the video I show myself changing the icon for the Pro Version application.

Please Note: It is the same process for the Lite (Free) Version.
You will not need to re-use Photoshop or a image editor package again, just copy and paste the new icons you made into the appropriate folder (the same one) inside the Lite Version.

Customise File Explorer Application

I demonstrate how to customise the Title Bar and how to Set the E-mail address for the Feedback and how to make changes to any word you see in the application via the strings.xml values.

 

Distribution

On Google Play, you can publish your products to customers instantly. Just upload and configure your product in theGoogle Play Developer Console and press the Publish button—your app appears in the store listings within hours, not weeks.

Once your app is published, you can update it as often as you want. You can change prices, configuration, and distribution options at any time through the Google Play Developer Console, without needing to update your app binary.

Later, as you add features or address code issues, you can publish an updated binary at any time. Google Play makes the new version available almost immediately and notifies existing customers that an update is ready for download. To streamline the rollout across your customer base, Google Play also lets users accept automatic updates of your app, so that your updates are delivered and installed as soon as you publish them.

Google Play does more than connect your app with users, it helps you reach the broadest possible distribution across the Android ecosystem, while making sure that your app is only available to the audience that you want to reach.

You can use controls in the Google Play Developer Console to easily manage the geographic distribution of your apps, without any changes in your application binary. You can specify which countries and territories you want to distribute to, and even which carriers (for some countries).

When users visit the store, Google Play makes sure that they are in one of your targeted countries before downloading your app. You can change your country and carrier targeting at any time just by saving changes in the Google Play Developer Console. To help you market to users around the world, you can localise your store listing, including app details and description, promotional graphics, screenshots, and more.

Once you’ve published your app, Google Play makes it easy to see how it’s doing. The Google Play Developer Console gives you access to a variety of anonymised statistics and custom charts that show you the app's installation performance and ratings.

You can view data and charts for active, daily, and total installs per unique devices or users, as well as upgrades and uninstalls. 

You can also view the app's daily average user rating and its cumulative user rating. To help you analyse the data, you can view install and ratings statistics across a variety of different dimensions such as Android version, device, country, app version, and carrier.
