I'm new about Pepper robot. At the first beginning of Pepper using it's tablet shows three circles include Retail,Office and tourism. Now, the Pepper's tablet just show something such as screensavers. How I can change it's tablet's mode to first configuration?
I also did reset factory but It doesn't return to my desire mode instead of showing screensavers.
if you installed all application back after factory reset then the application should be available in Choregraph among the Robot Applications List. (if the Application is configured for your Robot in the Aldebaran Store) Unfortunately i have not seen your application before, so i cant guess which one it is. You can try to start each one.
On the other Hand the Application might also be an android app.
To check that option start the Robot Application
j-tablet-browser
Now you should be able to see the standart Android on the Tablet.
You can check now what Android Apps are installed.
This first application was probably installed by your reseller, you can ask him to give you the details. But pepper normal operation mode is what you call the screensaver. Then it's up to you to develop the activities specific to your case. See http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-5/

I want to develop a game where you go to the website and open the mobile app corresponding to it you scan the QR code on the website and synchronize the website and the app.
So the game will be on the website on the screen and the user will move their mobile phone and depending on how they move their hand the game on the website will react.
So the game will be developed with unity, is there a way to synchronize the website and app this way continuously without delay? and how?
I know the question is vague but it's not something within my expertise i just wanna know where to start my research, few keywords would help a lot. It's a new project in a field i haven't worked in before.
I want a game in a website to be in sync continuously with variables sent from a mobile app without delay.
This is a very unspecific and open ended question, to which you cannot get a good answer based on how many open variables there are. So basically you want to make a game that runs on a website, and then want to make a mobile app that is able to communicate with the game.
The only way to do this is to use a server with a backend-api, which you can then fetch and push data from and to your webgame/app. Basically the server is your communication tool between webgame and app.
You need to make an app though which serves the mobile phone's orientation data to the server. How you do this and what kind of server software is best to use fully depends on what your skillset allows for, what the specific constraints are and what parts of the project already exist (what framework does the app use (react native for instance), what platform does the app run on...).
I can only tell you that this is by no means trivial. Let alone making an app is a ton of work, but writing a backend for the server, an app and a game that runs in a browser is a huge project! I would highly suggest you perform more research on server-client communication and app development, because the scope of this project is based on how you phrased your question probably far bigger than you imagined.

I was curious as to whether it's possible or not to "wrap" and app inside another. For example, insert the code of YOUR app (hereafter referred to as cookie cutter) into an existing app (hereafter referred to as wrapper) with the wrapper app designer's permission, of course. and have your app sit latent for x amount of time. After x amount of time, the cookie cutter app pulls up and initiates its code. From that point on, the cookie cutter app is accessible by pressing a button in the top left corner of the wrapper app, which will switch views to the cookie cutter. My question comes in two parts.
Part A: is this something that apple would allow? I know there's a certain level of red tape regarding what apple allows and doesn't allow
Part B: Would this be possible, even if Apple allowed it? Would the way that apps are designed allow for this functionality to be part of an app in the first place?
By asking this question, i'm more looking for articles on the subject. It's hard to fit this entire question into a couple words that can be searched for on google. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
I think this is not possible (I don't know whether it is possible in Jailbroken devices). In iOS each app is sandboxed, so you can't run an app inside an app.
Also running app, terminating it these kind of things are managed by SpringBoard (Simply os). So you can't do this.
Suggestion:
Why can't you simply display the Second app's icon (in imageView or in button) inside the First app ? When useer tap on that icon open that app using URLScheme.
Like:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:yourSecondAppURL]];

I make an app which is a clone of a well-known game. I had the name of that game as a keyword in the first two versions of my app. Many competing apps also use the keyword.
I just updated my app. Apple said I couldn't have that keyword and took it out.
Meanwhile, a search on the name of the game brings up over 40 apps, most of them third-party apps which are not licensed. Now that the keyword has been removed, my app does not come up in the search, even though it is highly popular.
Is my best bet to:
a) Point out the discrepancy to Apple.
b) Try again in the next update
c) Give up.
d) Something else?
Apple's official policy changed a while back to disallow the use of competitor's products in your keywords. Have any of the other apps that use this keyword been updated recently? It's entirely possible that their use of the keyword dates to before this policy change.
If I were you, I'd go with "a) Point out the discrepancy to Apple" and probably ask them why they took it out to begin with.
If I were me, I would just ditch Apple and move on (Android, maybe even Windows Phone 7).
(a) and (c).
Using unlicensed trademarks as keywords seems to be a violation of the App store guidelines (but IANAL). If you point out those other apps to the review board, it probably won't help you directly, but there is some small chance that sometime if the far future when these other developers try to update their apps, the keyword will be disallowed for them also. But don't count on it.
Your being allowed that keyword originally is part of the luck of the game. Don't assume that a some amount of luck won't be involved with Android and Windows Phone (et.al.) App store revenues as well.

I want to develop an iPhone callerID application. I have following challenges to develop
How to detect incoming call?
Need to start my app when an incoming call occurs
Please help me out..I am new to iPhone development.
Thanks,
Srikanth
You can't do this. iOS apps cannot launch themselves without direct user interaction, and incoming calls suspend any apps that are already running.
I'm fairly certain this would be impossible in the iOS framework. Incoming calls suspend any active application and take priority over other operations. Further more even if you did manage the overwrite the iOS app lifecycle I think it is highly unlikely that Apple would approve the application because it attempts to replicate the functionality of the Phone app's caller ID. Apple doesn't like it when you try to replace their products (Ask Google Voice). They may have started to loosen up a little on this (See Opera browser and Skype apps) but I think this one would get flagged and rejected.
Short answer: you can't.
Apps are started when a user requests it, so you can't tell an app to start when a call comes in.
And an already running app is suspended when a call comes in. You can't pick up any detail about the call.
No. Simply you cannot do that. There is no public API is available to do that. Your app will be in sandbox environment and your app will be suspended when a call comes in. You cannot access them in anyway.

I have been given the tasks of speccing a mobile application, which will need to run on approx. 1000 devices. These devices already exist, and consist of iPhones, BlackBerrys, Androids, Windows Mobile and Netbooks. The application will have simple reporting capability, and a collection of forms.
Anyway, the obvious solution would be to develop some browser based solution, although given the occasionally connected nature of the devices, there's a potential for data to get lost / not saved.
So instead of creating a complex application for each platform, I was thinking we could build what is effectively a form generator, with basic offline storage capability (text files), designed to run on each device, and have the device generate a form, based on for example an XML file that it could request from a server somewhere, resulting in minimal specialist development costs, and the ability to run most of the logic from the server end, with the devices being dumb clients that render forms and upload the data when there is an available connection.
Anyway, my question summarised is, how have you made the decision on supporting multiple devices for your application. Is this always an unavoidable problem, and you just have to make the call to support 1 or 2, or pay for developers to write code for each platform, or alternatively supply pre-installed devices to the company?
Many thanks
James
Have you considered building a web-based HTML5 application with the ability to store data locally etc. so it can work offline too? This is probably the best way to build portable apps as long as you don't need to take advantage of specific features of the phone's API (e.g. the GPS). This would be an ideal way to do an application like the one you describe.
I have not used this so cannot vouch for it in any way however the RhoMobile project looks worth investigating

Is there a multiplatform framework for developing iPhone / Android applications?
Since your application mainly involves UI forms, you can go for J2ME development that can give you device general application to an extent. But yes, writing a full fledge application that will work great with each device is a big issue and you will need to write device specific application for optimal leverage of the device.
There are already many products that do what you want. If not, as was mentioned RhoMobile (http://rhomobile.com/) is an option.
You should really browse the different app stores out there, there are a number of options:
Canvas (http://www.gocanvas.com), eXzact (http://www.iformbuilder.com), Pronto Forms (http://www.prontoforms.com/). In addition Google Code has ODK (http://code.google.com/p/open-data-kit/wiki/ODKCollect)
Good luck! I've worked on several projects where we decided to just build a builder of some sort (MDA, forms, etc.). Building the builder is always more difficult than you expect.
