Hi all, In answer to Jim's question three if by orientation you mean the user should be able to rotate the image on its side (lanscape) or keep it standing (portrait) then iI suggest you could look at http://www.anddev.org/resize_and_rotate_image_-_example-t621.html This link also has the commented code for both resize and rotate.
Sorry but I can't help you with the other two questions. As for the wiki I have started. I would like it to be self contained and not link excessively to outside sources. That is I would like an article to exist on every topic related to Android. What I had in mind when I started it was to have an article on each Android device, each part of the SDK with example code, building android and rooting. This was what I had in mind but if there is any topic I have left out feel free to add it. So I ask once again. Can all or atleast some of you help me make this wiki into a complete resource for Android. I don't expect it to happen overnight but as more and more people do it it will improve. I am not saying write the entire thing by yourself. Even one article from a person will suffice.
