I just hope that this time the release date for the official SDK will
be BEFORE the update hits the masses. Not like it was with the 1.1SDK
- it was released way after 1.1 was released to end-users (the
argument from Google was something in the lines of Hey, this is a
small release with no mayor
an official SDK - is that too much
to ask?)

Are you using dialog titles?
Somebody from the Android team decided that dialog titles can't be
longer than 2 lines anymore. That means they can not be longer than 2
words in some cases/languages. And no, nobody has explained the
reasoning behind this move (other than - why are you using so long
or
AlertDialog).

The problem with long-pressing-menu not working is this: HTC Hero. It just
does NOT work there with the default keyboard.
I got also reports about people being not able to open the virtual keyboard
on their phones - I suggested them to try long-clicking the menu (following
Romain Guys suggestions)
At any rate, long press on menu has ALWAYS been there purely as a very last
resort for pre-1.5 apps that couldn't have been written knowing about input
methods. It is a super-sucky mechanism to get to the soft keyboard, and
anyone writing an app today really should assume it doesn't exist

I'm not sure that I understand your question correctly but if you want
to measure a time interval in real time (eg in ms) then go for
android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis() or
android.os.SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() not
System.currentTimeMillis()
android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis() -
java.util.Locale.setDefault(Locale locale);
But I have no idea to what extent this setting works..
Another approach is to start the activity that allows to select the
locale but I don't think there is such an Activity in the emulator.
Good news! Congratulations Android team!
Just a note about the release:
This source code (looking at tag android-1.0 or head release-1.0) is
clearly not the one that the 1.0r1 SDK uses. There are countless
methods/classes in the source that are not present in the 1.0r1 SDK
release (for example:
the SDK, not against the open source release.
Otherwise you can easily use non-public APIs, and thus break in a
future release.

You might consider the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailinglist.
As for the answer - different screens are Activities in Android. To
move from one screen to another, you are technically moving from an
activity to another - eg starting a new Activity. Navigating between
Activities is done by sending
it:
TabChangeListener listener = new TabChangeListener();
tabHost.setOnTabChangeListener(listener);
that goes for all cases of using interfaces :)
