I would like to know how can I implement the search contract from within the app, to search/find a few files present inside the application.
As far as I know, there are a lot of articles especially from msdn, blogs, etc which helps us create a normal search contract to search/look for apps/books, etc on win8 system, but I have not come across any valuable source for implementing search within the app.
Your response will eb of great help to me :) Thanks in advance..!
As I know, you can add a search contract using Add a New Item command in Visual Studio. The IDE will register the appropriate handlers to catch QuerySubmitted event or Search Activated events. The former is used for capturing search event while your application is the main app on screen and the second one is for situations where your application is not running as the active app.
What you search in your application isn't important. It's completely your own business. You can search for files inside your apps or anything else.
Recently I've read an article on MSDN about this. Maybe useful for you too

I am prototyping a Shopware App right now, where I want to extend the search with our search API. We already have a working plugin in the store for that.
I found those two references for hooks:
https://developer.shopware.com/docs/resources/references/app-reference/webhook-events-reference
https://developer.shopware.com/docs/resources/references/app-reference/script-reference/script-hooks-reference
Seems like there is no webhook for the search at all and just a script-hook for a finished search. In the plugin, we could just extend the ProductSearchRoute and be completely flexible.
Are search extension not planned right now?

I assume you want to alter the criteria for fetching the products. As of today this is not yet possible with non-self-hosted apps. You could use the app scripts to enrich or replace the contents of an already loaded page as you already mentioned. Obviously that comes with some drawbacks regarding performance. The capabilities of apps are being enhanced continuously though so there's chance search manipulation might become possible rather soon.
I am still trying to understand Chatbots. Currently i have already made chatbot which is integrated in skype. I have Sharepoint online where user search for FAQ. If they dont find then they ask BOT which sends request to LUIS and Qnamaker.
Qnamaker then sends response back by looking it into its database. I upload FAQ from sharepoint to Qnamaker using sharepoint workflows. But i want to write my own logic and get rid of Qnamaker.
What are ways to do it? Any good tutorials? I also wanted to know how the flow happens. For example if we dont use Qnamaker then we fire queries in sharepoint based on what user asked? I dont understand how i can fire queries in sharepoint if user makes typo then we will not get anything from sharepoint. So any tips on how to implement this without using qnamaker is highly appreciated?
The FAQ bot generator is a subset of the main Microsoft bot framework. You should do some research on the Microsoft Bot Framework. The link above takes you right to the documentation overview of the bot framework and from there you can get into developing one. They have links to a few sample projects as well as a large number of code snippets within some of the article explanations. It has a full setup guide that will walk you through the initial setup so it should be easy to get a basic echo bot running, but if you are not a programmer you should stick to the FAQ generator.
I suggest you use either node.js or c# to develop the bot since these are directly supported by the framework. I am personally using c# to build my bot from the ground up. The purpose of mine is to be used within a customer facing android/ios app that will help with questions, checking the status of different things, and even paying bills.
Just remember you will need to manually set up your cloud hosting. I host mine in azure alongside a web interface I built for it (you can build the website inside your bot if you are using c#, just replace the default.htm file in the web.config with the main page of the interface).
I'm in the process of creating an application on Android Studio which allows a user to select a location on a map and add some details to that location - E.g. Select a football pitch and add some details to it such as 5 a side football match on Sunday at 12 o'clock.
Once these details are saved that location is saved onto the map along with those details.
I've decided to use the Google Places API as it has the AddPlace feature. Instead of adding a business to the map like the API was intended for, I want to tweak it so it can add an event instead.
However, the example found here at:
https://developers.google.com/places/android-api/add-place
Does not work in my application.
Here are the screenshots:

Any help would be greatly appreciated - Thank you

The Add A Place function of the Places API isn't a good fit for what you're trying to do. Add Place is designed to allow users to add places that don't currently exist in Google Maps' database. It sounds like what you want to do is attach some metadata to a place that has meaning only to your app.
So, you'll need some persistent server storage for this metadata. There are lots of ways to do this but you might want to look at Firebase Realtime Database as a solution.
Also, from the screenshot, it looks like your error comes from not having defined mGoogleApiClient in in your app.
When you want to make a connection to one of the Google APIs provided in the Google Play services library (such as Google Sign-In, Games, or Drive), you need to create an instance of GoogleApiClient ("Google API Client"). See here: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/api-client
I am about to start development on an UWP Application. One of the last minute requirements was to be able to support white-labeling the application for our partners. Does anyone have any experience doing this using the Universal Windows Platform that would be willing to give me some insight on resources I should be looking at?
Some basic questions I have is:
Is it possible? I read about it being done with iOS and Android.
How do you create the AppPackage for each partner?
Localization differences? Where one localization may refer to it as one product, but another refers to it as the other product.
Or is this something where I would bundle everything up and send it to the partner to create their own upload? If this is the case, is there a how-to on that?
Some of these might be basic questions, but this is the first time I have created a white-label application, so it is all new to me.
Have just replied to another one topic and looks that screenshot is still needed)
When you submit App to store you can find option:
This way you can make your app visible only to your partners. And you can also register as many apps as you like (each one for separate partner)
Or you can distribute your app thrue Windows Store for Business.

I have experience with Android's search functionality as described here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/index.html, but haven't been able to find anything similar for windows phone 7.
Alternatively, what is the best approach to provide search functionality within your windows phone application?
The search scope is within the application itself, and while it is obviously possible to implement it myself, I'm looking for something that follows the ui guidelines of windows phone 7, and possibly also an interface to provide search results from the app, even when the search button is pressed while the app is in the background.
You are fully responsible for handling search within your app. There are no WP7 specific guidelines or tools available. Do what's best within the context of your app.
You cannot integrate with the built in search facility to include app specific results with anything returned as part of a bing search.
To add, interface to Windows Phone 7 hardware search button is not exposed to third party developers. You need to provide your own search button in the application and handle it appropriately.
