Thanks for the reply Andrex...but happily Android's poor error messaging is definitely not an issue with the Java language. It's a matter of proper programming and understanding that others must be able to develop off your code base.
I can handle instability but operating in the dark because of vague errors that simply say "null" or nothing at all is simply amateur programming. I've been on both sides, and as I admitted, Android is in a pre-alpha release state. But in order to compete with the bigger players out their (iPhone and Windows Mobile), the Android code base will definitely need to improve it's error messaging feedback substantially. In lieue of better messaging, I would simply accept getting the source code ASAP even knowing that it will change. I can guarantee that we would all MUCH rather recode our applications as the source changes rather than try to program to a black box like we are now. So perhaps I should re-title this post to "Please Release the Android Source Code ASAP".
