We have a self-made Windows Mobile application, which should be ported to Android (take Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as a reference device and Android distribution). The app is designed for Windows Mobile 6.1 and Intermec CN3E devices. However, it should run without problems at least in Windows Mobile emulator in Visual Studio 2008 (beware - it doesn't work in VS2010, as it doesn't support that platform anymore). It's divided into 2 parts: 1) main app - this is the standard application, and should be ported first. It is an app for our couriers to register their daily work, such as collecting pickup and delivery info (including signatures by signing with stylus on the display), and dealing with their agenda. It consists of 18 simple forms. You don’t have to provide exactly the same Windows-style design of the application - it should be converted to Android-style design (e.g. standard Windows button to standard Android button) 2) background app - this app should be ported as second. This is a monitoring/watching application which must run as an invisible application in the background. It must start automatically when the device starts. It must be completely hidden from users. It also cannot be closed by users. It basically collects GPS positions of the device (to protect them against theft), and it’s sending the positions with other data to our server. It also runs a very simple web server (HTTP listener), used for sending jobs to the couriers from our system and display a popup, when the job is received. Both apps are using the same SQL Server Compact database for storing and sharing data. That database can be found in the main directory of that RAR, it's called db.sdf. I don't know whether it will run on Android - if not, please use another database. It must be a local mobile database that can handle basic SQL queries. Both apps are written in VB.NET, using .NET Compact Framework 3.5. Also, the 1st app is using a hardware barcode scanner, and Samsung devices won't have it. It should be replaced by its camera, which will recognize barcodes from the image - the user clicks a button, it opens a new window, at the top will be the current camera view, at the bottom will be list of numbers which the app recognized from the barcodes in the camera view. The app should automatically recognize the barcodes from the image. When the user finishes scanning, he will click on a button which will close this window. I don't know if you know any library for Android to recognize barcodes from the camera picture, but I found ZXing ([login to view URL]) - use that if you don't find anything better. We need support just for EAN-128 or UPC-128 barcode type. Also, the winner must commit to the following rules BEFORE accepting his bid: 1) the winner must be able to start IMMEDIATELY and be available for chat on GMail or Skype during the specified hours (to be agreed when the project starts), at least 2 hours per day 2) the work must be finished on time 3) the penalty when not finishing the work on time is 100 USD for each late day 4) the winner must communicate with me every day - if you don't do it, and don't communicate with me for more than 3 days, I take it as a lost interest into this project from your side and therefore the project will be immediately cancelled 5) the winner must upload screenshots to his web server each day, so that I can see and track the progress - even if the changes aren't working 100% yet 6) partially finished project on deadline = unfinished project If you have read this description, please include the sentence "I carefully read the description for the project, and agree to the rules mentioned in the project description" into your bid. Bids without this sentence will be automatically ignored.

Hi, Will you provide windows phone source code? Also,following is not clear: ". It also runs a very simple web server (HTTP listener), used for sending jobs to the couriers from our system and display a popup, when the job is received." It is possible for run a light web server, but without a real ip, how can a request be sent to a device? What does current app do? Does it use web server or some other technique? thanks and hope to hear from you soon. Below is our previously developed apps, [login to view URL]

I carefully read the description for the project, and agree to the rules mentioned in the project description. I am mobile app developer for over 5 years. I develop apps fro Windows Mobile and Android too. I have a phone with Windows Mobile 6.5 and few various devices with Android to test the app. I have done apps that use gps location and works in a background (as a service) and send the data to a server. Android uses SQLite as database. I have implemented a library for bar code scanning. I am sure that I can do the app as you wish. Regards.
