LG tv app to display the list of messages - television

Is there an LG tv app to display the list of messages from a text file or any other( xml...) from network or USB just like the breaking news in the tv?
The video must keep playing and the messages should pop up and repeat from the file.
I need it to display my office account informations on LG smart TV. Please reply. Thankyou.
If there aren't any such apps, please give me guidelines to build one from the sdk. I mean which components to focus more.
Thankyou.

Late answer, but anyway. I connect to my '14 LG smarttv over websockets on port 3000 and send the following as JSON after connecting:
{"id":"0","type":"request","uri":"ssap://system.notifications/createToast","payload":{"message": "Super mega awesome."}}
This will make it show a toast for a while.
But, first you must pair with the TV. It may be easier for you to simply use the ConnectSDK.

Show TV program in Samsung SmartTV app

I'm thinking of an app for Samsung SmartTV which, besides other information, displays the currently running TV program.
Since I haven't found any documentation about accessing and displaying the TV program inside of an app, I was wondering if this is even possible. Has anybody further information?
Thanks,
Markus
Yes, it is possible to show TV signal inside your SmartTv application. Guide to do that can be found here: http://www.samsungdforum.com/Guide/tec00103/index.html
However, make sure you read the note at the end of that guide. Mixing TV signal and app content needs approval from broadcasters, which can result in locking your app for only a specific TV channel. It goes the same for ticker applications.
Be really aware about the fact that in EU you cannot overlay even part of the screen of the broadcasted channel by TV application content -> such an application will not approved by TV vendors unless it is for specific channel only for which you must have an agreement - but this is typically more task for a HbbTV...
That regulation is quite limiting - because otherwise you can have nice eweather or sport betting widgets overlaying the screen during e.g. tennis or football match. I am however not sure about similar restrictions on other markets like e.g. MENA or Latin America.

Using Remote Notifications In My Application

I am currently starting my way on developing iPhone applications, and I have recently encountered a problem which I could not find a proper answer to.
In my application, I want one iPhone to send a request and another, far iPhone respond to that request using an Alert View, almost like the way Game Center works when you invite someone to play with you.
Do I do that with Push Notifications? Some server? Or what?
Thanks ahead,
A Newbie Developer.
Not the simplest things to try and do when you are new - but have a look at GameKit.
There is a sample application called GKTap which shows how to hook up two iPhones.
Don't be fooled by the word Game. This framework makes it easy to set up communication between phones, even using Bluetooth.
It depends on what you mean by "far". If you mean in another room, but within Bluetooth range or on the same local network, then there is GameKit. If you mean on a different network, or a long distance away, then you are looking at needing to have a server that keeps track of the devices and the connections between the devices so you can use Push Notifications. If you are thinking of something like Words With Friends where it sends a message to another user to tell them it is their go, then you would need the server.

Xcode & Android Radio Scanner

Hi im still not 100% with xcode and android. I have the Droid X and I code with Xcode. My dad is on the Fire Dept. and wants me to code an app for either the android and/or iphone that detects the dispatch's radio signal and receives it and streams it in the background so the firemen could listen to the radio on their phones so they wouldn't have to carry their bulky radios with them everywhere. If there is someone that could help me or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you, Halokllr
Some bad news Halokllr, the iPhone doesn't have a radio chip, and the FM radio included in some Android models will probably not be able to physically pick up emergency broadcast signals. In order to do what you are suggesting, you would need a web service of some kind that already exists and streams audio for the emergency signals you're interested in. Now there ARE some services like this, though I would strongly suggest that if it is intended to be used for actual first responders that you very carefully research their timeliness guarantees. Some of them may be hours behind live events. Check out http://www.radioreference.com/ as an example service provider.

Create voice recognition app

I need to develop an App witch detects voice when it´s running (not what are they saying, just if someone speaks) and if so, I need to launch an especific mp3 from my sd.
I never developed for android/iphone but I need to especify my boss in how many hours it could be done.
Is there any easy way for voice recognition? and... I think that the answear could be yes but, is ther a way to listen a specified mp3 from my code?
(no plataform specified yet, it could be android or iphone)
Thanks very much in advance
Try looking at this question. It might help a bit. if you got back something valid from the google servers, then you could cause it play an MP3, I suppose.
EDIT: Also, it's important to remember that android phones don't do the "voice recognizing" themselves. The sound is streamed to Google servers (like a phone call) and the servers "recognize" what you're saying, and send that back to the phone.

Is it possible to open iphone phone number links with another app such as skype or change the default dialer?

I'm desperately trying to find this info and have been searching for several days. I use wifi + skype on my iphone with no plan. All I want to do is when I click on a number in a web page, or in the contacts, is have that number open with another program like skype or google voice.
Is this possible or is there just no way around opening a number with the default dialer? I figured somewhere there's a value that determines which program is called to dial a number.
You would need to jailbreak your phone first, and then you can try to figure out this, not other way
