FYI I joined up to Android Market the other day (10th Sep 2009), and also could not get past the 'Location' drop-down menu (and, it was only encountered 'after' paying up the membership) - but I did notice that in the locations list of countries there-in, that can currently buy- and-sell at that

Hi there, This is really an 'emulator vs a real phone' question (I think:), with respect to long-pressing: I'm developing in the Emulator (without a phone to test on yet - getting that next week;) I've implemented a 'public boolean onLongClick(android.view.View v)' method on an appropriate

[android-developers] fillpolygon for drawing on a Canvas?

2009-07-20 Thread monsoon
Hi all, It seems a bit odd to me that there is no fillpolygon(...) method in the Canvas class? I'm a bit new to graphics on Android, but it seems I must be missing something here? There's a drawLines(...) but it appears that it doesn't do 'fill'. I.e. The best I can make out is that I'll have
