Hi All Have just completed streamlining and testing a recent project I know this is not particularly Buzztouch related, as the features used are currently outside of v1.4 limitations, BUT I know that this kind of app, with these features has been asked for before on this Forum [NOTE TO BUZZTOUCH TEAM: SORRY IF STEPPING ON ANYONES TOES & PLEASE DELETE THIS POST IF NOT HAPPY WITH IT] However, I have streamlined the process for creating Android Ebook Apps with the 'page flip' feature AND integrating Admob Ads Here is a Private Youtube video demo of the STANDARD EBOOK APP (Ideal if selling the Apps): [note: there are 3 ways for page navigation - pageflip, page scroll bar at bottom & forward/back buttons] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yMYYGRATW0 And here is a Private Youtube video demo of the EBOOK APP WITH INTEGRATED ADMOB ADS (Ideal if giving the Apps away free): [note: there are the same 3 ways for page navigation + the Admob Ads showing at the top] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEH88zAjpOU If anyone would like these types of eBook Apps creating, then all I would need is the PDF, icon (48x48) and AdMob PubID (if required) The cost, as this is a new 'App area' for me, is $15 per digitally signed, compiled and ready to publish app Please feel free to contact me - Contact details are at the bottom of one of my other posts here: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=10803E37F4563B064A718B1 Regards Steve

Would it be possible to make the videos unlisted rather than private, so I can watch them? Thanks in advance.

Im confused Steve... Are you charging your fellow BT users $15 to watch your YouTube vids?

@raveyd - Sorry, must've got it wrong, thought you could see the vids when 'Private' if you had the link, anyway, they are now 'Unlisted' so you can view them @Jennyapps - Nooo, the videos are demo's of the app with & without Admob Ads - $15 cost is for creating the same type of Apps for Buzztouch members so they have can their own Android eBook Apps with 'pageflip' feature and with or without Admob integrated for their own distribution/upload to Android Marketplace etc Steve

Thanks Steve!

@raveyd - No problems One thing I forgot to mention that if it wasn't for Buzztouch in the first place, my interest in coding and app creation would have been severely stunted, in other words, Buzztouch has given me the confidence and inspiration to continue and expand my knowledge Digging into the code of your own Buzztouch apps to make modifications etc is a FANTASTIC learning ground Thanks guys! Steve

That looks very nice! Do you convert an existing pdf or do you need to get the content out of the pdf to create seperate pages? Think I'm gonna have to find $15 lol!

@raveyd - can be done from an existing PDF (eg. instruction manuals, guides, reference materials, your own created PDF, PLR PDF products etc) Steve

this looks so cool

Great vid and it looks awesome. I'm actually trying to learn the android envirnoment and is developing to apps to customers now. Maybe need your assistance in the future. What's with the background noice in the vid bro' :) BR/Stefan

@Stefan - the background noise is the kids watching Children's TV :) Steve

@steveh6883: Great work, can you share the project with us? We'de love to get something like this in the control panel someday. Email the zip to info 'at' buzztouch.com if you're willing ;-)

@ David@buzztouch. - sent :-)

Hi Steve, I'm very interested. I have a 250 full color pdf that is 55 mb. Is it possible to use that? I would like to integrate admob and publish to Android and Itunes market.

@oliverwinston - no problems creating your app, would just need the PDF file However, at 55mb BEFORE conversion to app is going to make a VERY LARGE app Also, no problem integrating your publisher ID for AdMob but the app wpuld only be in Android version Steve

* UPDATE * Also looking into incorporating standard text (notepad, doc etc,) standard images (.jpg, .png etc) and audio synchronisation (for creating multimedia audiobook) AND exploring the iOS side of things with regards to creating 'pageflip' apps Steve

@oliverwinston - I read a post from an Android tech employee on the dev forum that it's very rare for people to install apps over 30mb, and if they do, they don't keep them for very long. You may struggle to get any success at all with an app of 55+mb. I believe the limit is 70mb without needing to install to the sd card, but that would take up all the available space. @steveh6883 - Keep us updated on the audio synch, it sounds awesome, especially if text to speech could be integrated too! Not just for novelty value, but for sight impaired users.

@raveyd - just about cracked the audio insertion bit - basically a sound file is synchronised with each page, so a commentary or audio reading of the text is perfectly do-able for the sight-impaired (good suggestion by the way) BUT it vastly increases the app size - suppose 2 versions could be made, with & without audio & those that want audio have to accept the larger filesize for the added functionality

Also, I suppose you could dispense with the PDF altogether and just use images & audio for a kind of multimedia news magazine or comic book, or something like that anyway

Forgot to add - the App that I demo'd earlier is now polished off & available for free download on the Marketplace if anyone wants to check it out on their own device (just don't judge the content :) it was the first PDF I had to hand!) https://market.android.com/details?id=com.squidbook.odb.AOTHWDPSNQPAQDJB Steve

Love the multimedia comic idea, I believe video content can now be embedded in pdf's. The app is very impressive despite the content! Is each page a different screen? So interstitial pages could be put inbetween the pages? Can it work with other ebook/ibook formats?

In the last week I think I've said these two words: Thanks Steve! in email a hundred times. I love the app Steve created for me but the true gold is in the assistance and knowledge shared. Here's the app if anyone wants to see it - it's free. If you could, please rate it or send me any comments on how it looks on your device. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.squidbook.rch.AOTHYVLNMQIRCH

@Laura: Awesome! We don't often 'endorse' any forum members but love recommending Steve because of his willingness to listen, understand, then help. Super stoked to see your Raising Chickens app come alive ;-)

Can it be in apple iphone too? will you sell the source code, and can I add my ebook to it and publish it by myself?

Hi Steve Have you figured out a way to do this in iOS? Thanks Alejandra
