Is there a way to export notes taken in Google Play books? - google-books

I have taken a series of notes in a book that I read on Google Play books. Is there a way to export these notes all together as a text document or some similar format?

Google has changed this and now if you have Android device you can get your notes on Google Drive. Simply do this:
Open Play Books on your Android device
Go to Settings
Save notes, highlights and bookmarks in Google Drive - turn this ON
This feature is still not perfect. The biggest problem I have is that page number is not recorded properly for most books. Instead, you just have link that opens the page in Google Play Books. Meaning, it'll probably work for you personally, but sharing notes and making sense of notes on different devices is problematic.

It isn't perfect but here is one way to do it. After doing this you will receive a zip file with your book(s) and an HTML (or JSON) file with your notes.
Follow this link to the Google Data Tools https://www.google.com/settings/takeout/downloads
Click the Create New Archive button
Click the Select None button
Go down to Google Play Books and flick the switch on
Hit the down arrow
Either download all or click on the Select Books radio (a popup will appear where you can select none again and search at the top)
After you have chosen your books, go to Next at the bottom
Pick your export options and you're good to go.

there is no such available function at the moment. I have submitted a request already, let's see what google developers say.

It works on some books and not others apparently. I can't produce a summary/review of Guttag's book for my class.I have the print version and just bought the Playbook version.

"Publish to the Web" feature no longer works unless "Share" feature is set to share to "Anyone with the link"

It appears that the "Publish to the Web" feature for Sheets no longer allows downloading of a sheet by URL, unless the "Share" feature is set to share to "Anyone with the link".
Up until yesterday, 11/18/2020, this extra step of making sure the "Share" setting was in place was not necessary.
Can you please confirm if this is a bug or a new and expected change? Thanks! ^_^
This seems to be a bug:
If a spreadsheet is Published to the web, it won't be accessible in any of the file formats (.csv, .pdf, .ods, etc.) to users who don't have access to the spreadsheet itself: for these users, it will only be accessible as a Web page.
This is not intended behaviour, since files that have been published to the web should be accessible to anyone with the link, no matter the sharing settings the spreadsheet itself has.
Issue Tracker:
This behaviour has been reported in Issue Tracker several times: see this issue, this one and also the one you mentioned.
Specifically, the following issue seems to have been getting more traction, and it has already been reported internally by Google (see comment #3):
Private Sheet public CSV export requires authentication
Therefore, I'd suggest anyone affected by this issue to click the star on the top-left in order to be notified of updates and to help prioritizing this.
Workaround:
Share the spreadsheet itself with Anyone with the link as Viewer role.

can't start "store listing experimence" in other languages from google play console

I simply want to test the attraction of a new Icon for my app in google play.
My App supports 5 languages also in "Store presence".
For this I have created a "store listing experiment" for icon, which was stright forward and works.
But there is a note at the bottom of the test saying:
Note: this experiment is not being served to users who view your store
listing in the following languages: de-DE, es-ES, fr-FR, it-IT Find
out more.
I am asking here because:
- I searched the hole internet for this, but I didnt find any explanation.
- The Link "Find out more", provides only informations, which are clear anyway, but nothing about my issue.
- Contacting google is inpossible. I have no clue where to contact support, whith non default question wizard.

App Not available in some countries

I just released one app yesterday. It's showing up in my country.
But I found out that it's not showing in some countries. How I can check that it's available in all the countries or not. What I need to do if I want to make int available in all the countries >
Depends on your app, maybe this helps. Otherwiese, have you read the localiaztion guidlines (like it is suggested by google to do so before releasing an app)? As far as I remember you are asked in the developer console in which country you want to rlease you app, but maybe this was only for payed apps.
Maybe this question is related to this one: This item isn't available in your country
quoting durbnpoisn answer:
Check your listing in the Developer control panel.
There is a listing for where the app is available (Pricing &
Distribution section - Manage Countries). The checkbox for whatever
country needs to be checked on. Otherwise, it's locked out.
For convenience, there is a box at the top that says "SELECT ALL
COUNTRIES".
For what it's worth, if the country in question is not on the list,
there is nothing you can do about that. There are a number of rules
and regulations about where Google Play can distribute stuff. You have
no control over that.

Youtube AutoPlay in Visual Basic

I recently doing a simple education school project on Visual Studio, which I can open a text file and watch all the youtube videos I have saved as links. The main program is done, now I just have to deal with this Youtube AutoPlay thing that I can't fix.
It's a webbrowser and after I import, the combobox will show the links. I can then play "start" to navigate to the youtube links one after another like a playlist. Even though it brings me to the page but it just don't autoplay. I need to manual click to start playing. I want it to be automatic.
?autoplay=1 or &autoplay=1 is not working. Maybe a auto click code or script can help me solve the issue.
autoplay=1 should work , but you'll need a /v/ as well , i.e:
If you're normal link is:
youtube.com/watch?v=7ik8yt8yUGs
then change it to :
youtube.com/v/7ik8yt8yUGs&autoplay=1

How to create About Dialog or About Page?

I am just finishing my latest app but I am straggling with the About page implementation.
How should I create About Dialog or About Page in Windows Phone?
I do not want to use just a plain page with text, because it doesn't look professional. Is there a standard way of doing this? An About page/dialog provided within the framework, for example?
There are many ways you can do this. The best would be if you could download a few of the popular free apps to see how exactly have they implemented it, to get a few ideas.
I prefer to go in one of the following 2 directions:
Custom styled page, that includes icons, developer details, some legal details (which controls did you use, under which licenses etc.) You can even use a pivot page, and then split the details about you, and legal details (and any other details) to multiple pivot items.
Use a popup from Coding4Fun toolkit. Scroll down for a sample of how it looks.
