Hey, just wanted to drop a quick line about two Android projects that
I just open-sourced.

One is Greasemonkey on steroids, which lets websites reach into the
Android intent world.  There's a video demo showing http://m.half.com
with a "Scan Barcode" button added, and linking Wikipedia articles to
Maps and Radar apps.

The second is an app that groups all your installed apps using the
categories shown in Android Market, making it much easier to find
apps.  (My all-apps drawer on the homescreen was getting pretty
crowded.)  Oh, and it offers long-press uninstall for any apps.  (This
app is still a little rough around the edges.)

It also offers an example hack of showing app icons in a GridView
style, but inside of a ExpandableListView, which isn't really possible
out-of-the-box.  It does this by wrapping each row of icons into a
horizontal LinearLayout, which it can then recycle correctly.  In
particular, it needed this one-line gem:

getExpandableListView().setItemsCanFocus(true);

There are links on those blog posts to the full source code of both
apps on Google Code, along with APKs ready to install and play
with.  :)
