I've found the use of Apache projects really helpful in creating my own projects. However, when it comes down to propietary libraries, I don't find it as easy to integrate software into my apps.
The main problem is that if I use services from some other paid apps, then the user will feel nickeled and dimed to death. So, most of the time I keep free apps that extend my apps (like YouTube, and file viewers). On the web, this model has emerged for a few years now. Access to data-sets and some types of Intelligent services are already provided the same way we can buy compute resources from Amazon and Google. But these services tend to have nice legal user agreements that would be unaffordable for smaller programmer groups. So I started thinking about modules. Researching this idea I found Chuppa Mobile on the web. This web-service is from the UK. It does seem to provide a wizard-like approach to creating user agreements. Although I have not tried it jet. AppFutura is a service of developer-for-hire, where a quote is given, and the sponsor of the projects hires developer(s) to finish the project. This is not what I am looking for because I suspect Android developer want their apps to be investments instead of one-of projects. GetACoder is similar in this respect. Does anybody know other similar projects ? Could it be possible to create modules entirely relying on the Android Intents ? For one, this allows for levels of trust among developers since no source code is exchanged. What type of services would Google Play have to provide to make this possible ? I am interested in promotiong the idea of a geographically distributed, lightly coupled idependent programmer groups somewhat specialized. I reach the end of what Google could tell me and I wonder if somebody can send me in the right direction, if projects around this idea already exists ?
