Can i use Phone Gap plugin for Android ..or any other way to use Phone Gap with OpenTok for android..??
Your help is really appreciated.Thanks
Here's a detailed answer for your question about phonegap on Android: How to get opentok + flash running on phonegap despite lack of flash support for android?
In short, no. There is no OpenTok PhoneGap plugin Android.
Regarding an Android OpenTok guide, it helps to know the basics of how OpenTok. It follows the simple pub/sub model.
The reason why there is no detailed guides for OpenTok Android is because OpenTok Android is still very new in beta, and there will be many changes to come (some of them maybe breaking changes).

I've searched for examples of iOS app clip & Android instant Apps but could not find more than few examples.
I am looking for released apps in App Store/Google Play or open source examples.
good examples could make developing these new features easier and gives developers new creative ideas to use these wonderful tools.
Do you have an app that utilizes App clip or instant app?
How did this affect your app?
What is the challenges you have faced?
Note: I know this is not a typical question but it need to be asked in a community full of great developers who love to share knowledge with others, and I don't think there is a better place than here.
Intro
I know it's been 10 months since you posted the question but I just stumbled upon it now... I've developed an app called ARShades for both iOS and Android that allows the user to try glasses on via Augmented Reality and I'm still in charge of development. The app supports both Instant App and App Clip, although I'm facing troubles making the the app banner show for the App Clip.
Firebase issues
As far as I can tell developing App Clips is a tad harder than develeloping Instant Apps, I'll tell you why. The main apps for both systems make extensive use of Firebase Firestore and many other features. This isn't a problem on Android where sockets are supported across the board, while on iOS they are only supported in the main app, so I had to use REST API to read and write data on Firebase when developing the App Clip, it's been a nightmare since it was the first time for me dealing with REST APIs (I just finished yesterday and published the update).
App Size
Another issue I faced is related to reducing the app size. On Android I had to remove all the unused images and compress the remamining ones. On iOS I had to separate the asset catalogues between: used only by the main app, shared, and used only by app clip. And of course I went through some compression works there too. I forgot to mention that I developed a new app as Instant App on Android, while you cannot do the same on iOS since it must be in the same project.
App to site linking
Another insidious part was the linking of the site to the apps. I managed to do it on Android by making changes to the manifest and specifying the host, while I can't seem to find a way to link the App Clip to the site in ay way. I've done everything the documentation says. I've put the apple app site association file in the .well-known folder but nothing, no banner shows up. I'll keep working on that.
Edit: Everything is now solved.
Conclusions
So, to sum up, I've found Instant Apps better on the developing and hassle side of things, the support sockets, hence the full suite of frameworks the full apps have. I hope I kind of answered your question, although I think you have documented yorself elsewhere in these past 10 months XD

I am a Chinese developer and I am studying graduate school. There is a project in the lab that needs to use tango. Google shut down the official website of tango and closed the developer community and documentation， because I was just getting started and I am not familiar with Tango development. This has caused our project to be interrupted. So now I am in need of Tango documentation.
The Tango related materials were moved to google archive Github account. Here are the links:
https://github.com/googlearchive/tango-examples-unity
https://web.archive.org/web/20170714191228/https://developers.google.com/tango/apis/unity/
Hope these help! And yeah, I agree with #halfer though, you should communicate with your adviser and let him/her know that Tango on which is no longer a wise choice to continue working.
Speaking of hand gesture recognition you can consider Intel's RealSense Camera and its SDK.
I wonder why none of the Xamarin Prebuilt Apps at https://www.xamarin.com/prebuilt support both iPad and iPhone? They all have the same design on each resolution. Especially Apps like 'Acquaint' would be perfect on iPad to have the contact list on the left and the details on the right. But instead it just has the same design like the iPhone Version.....
Are there any reasons why Xamarin does not offer samples with different designs depending on the client resolution? Are there somewhere else some examples?
Many thanks!
You might want to take a look at our Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms Book First Edition by Charles Petzold.
I work on the same team as Charles and I know it's a topic he's covered in detail. The full book should be available soon too.
BTW, we are looking into creating some detailed, annotated cross-platform app samples that do all the goodies that a typical modern app would be expected to have.
I do not know of any of the stock Xamarin examples that use OnIdiom, but it just a matter of time to code them...hahahah, always just a matter of time and code. (I'm sure the Xamarin guys can chime in on this one):
Xamarin.Forms.OnIdiom Class
<OnIdiom.Phone>Vertical</OnIdiom.Phone>
<OnIdiom.Tablet>Horizontal</OnIdiom.Tablet>
In terms of finding examples that use the Xamarin.Forms XAML OnIdiom I would search Github for OnIdiom, there a few OSS examples of phone/tablet switching floating around there as I used at least one as a template to do a quick phone/tablet prototype for a client.
I'm currently working at a project to develop an App for firefox os similar to: http://www.zoobe.com/.
So it's basicly a hosted app, where you can choose a 3D-character. Then you have to make a picture for the background and record your voice on the phone. A Video will be rendered then and the 3d-character will speak the recorded message for you!
So my generell question is: Does anybody know, if its possible to develop such complex app for firefox os at this stage?
I've read, that all the APIs required for the project, like camera API and so on are already working.
I would implement the data-flow between server and client with node.js.
I would be greatful for any evaluations, tips and help.
There is no sound recording API yet, so I fear you will have to wait for it to be implemented for this kind of app to be possible. You can track the work on this API at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803414
Now I need to share outputs executed by android apk files. But co-workers don't have android emulator on PC/Mac. I heard there are some web-sites that enable emulate apk files on the web. so does anybody recommend these web sites?
Do u need this to test for your android application?
Then, i dont think there is any.
The closest thing available today is :
Go to http://tmobile.modeaondemand.com/htc/g1/ and click emulator where u can have a look and feel of android.
But this is more of a marketing demo.
For testing your application no alternative to local emulator that comes along with SDK.
