I think I need some help or I found a bug. When itry to run the wether demo
from the source. The app trows a toast and say null pointer exeption.

Mark do you have an idea why that may be? I use eclipse on windows. And have
just impoorted it.

It compiles without any problem. And starts running but as soon I get a
valid gps fix I get this toast and the screen stays white no forcast. Also I
am located in canada.

The digital edition of _Hello, Android_ (PDF, EPUB, Kindle) has Cupcake
material.

Other than my book (see below) and _Hello, Android_, it is unclear if
any of the others are Cupcake-ready. The O'Reilly one might, since it
came out around the time the Cupcake preview did, but I haven't read it.

Those two books are one and the same, in terms of core material.

_Beginning Android_ is the same as _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android
Development_ Version 2.0, except for a Cupcake appendix, minor cosmetic
fixes, and a better index.

_The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.1 has more
Cupcake material, but is only available in digital form (PDF and Kindle)
as part of the Warescription, along with the other two books in the
CommonsWare library.

Of the two, choose the Apress book if you want it in pre-printed form or
you can get it "free" through an existing Safari subscription, because
it's supposed to be available there. Otherwise, grab a Warescription.

Comparing mine and Ed's _Hello, Android_, his is much better on some
topics, such as 2D and 3D graphics. Mine are longer (~1,100 total pages
vs. ~200), which may mean I cover a lot more ground in depth, or it may
mean I just write a lot... ;-)
