Dianne, I'm sorry if my post came off bitter as that was not the intent. I
realize you and many others from Google participate in this and many other
forums and I am by no means trying to paint some giant brush about every
single individual at Google. I think you know I've tried to make that much
clear in other discussions regarding the Android Market.

Please don't take me or my comments too seriously or personally =)

To elaborate, at least from my own experience using Google-developed apps,
getting actual support or questions answered about them is pretty much
impossible. Moreover, the OP was asking about pulling data out of a specific
app, which it was probably not designed to allow doing.

This app does not not have an email link on it's app page on the
Markethttps://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.androidify,
nor on it's official site http://androidify.com/, so there's no clear way
of getting in touch with the developers. So, speaking frankly as I do,
getting in touch with that apps' *specific* developers and getting an answer
for the OP's question *for that specific app* is realistically not going to
happen.

I'm sorry if I did not make myself clear.

However, looking into this further, apparently this app in particular is
actually developed by another company and not Google and they do have a
contact page http://larvalabs.com/contact.php which I only found out by
checking the about section of the main app site after going to it from the
Market app since there was no email. That's quite a few hoops to jump
through to get in touch with an app's developers.

OP you may want to try that and see if they respond.

[android-developers] Access Androidify avatar from another app

2011-05-02 Thread Robert Jenks
I had fun using the Androidify app to create avatars for myself and
family.  I am currently writing a multiplayer card game and was
wondering if it is possible to access the saved My Androids and
offer my users a way to use one of their androidify icons to represent
them in my game.  This would be similar to Avatar games available in
the XBOX 360 arcade market.

Thanks,
-Robert

This group is for developing against the Android SDK. For what you're
asking, you'd have to get in touch with that app's developers to find out if
what you're asking is possible. Considering that the developer of that app
is Google, that's pretty never going to happen.
