Xavier, thanks for your thoughtful response, and I'm sorry for being so testy, but please understand that this sort of thing can have a big impact on developers. From what you say it sounds like not many others are configuring their projects this way, but for a product that supports multiple platforms it's going to be a common configuration. We have a middle tier that is a service on Android, so the Android service code needs to live with that project while the presentation layer, which is completely platform-specific, lives in another. I have to imagine we're not alone in this.
> I have other responsibilities than read the Google groups all day long. I certainly understand, and I think that's a real problem for us all-- the Google developers are trying to support the developer community in their spare time, and we developers have no recourse other than to post here and hope someone reads and responds, or submit a bug report and have almost no chance of a timely response. I really think Google needs to create a more mature developer program that has at least pay- per-incident support and other levels of support for the developer community, with dedicated support resources. Having a problem/ solution forum structure also really encourages community experts to step up and augment the vendor resources--it also clearly distinguishes problem-solving from general discussion (see BlackBerry's forums for a good example of this). If Google doesn't put this level of investment into building the community then I really don't believe you can create the kind of ecosystem you need for Android to thrive. > That said, I've been looking for a work around. Thanks very much for the effort, this sounds much cleaner than my hack so I'll put it in place and see how it goes. -- Peter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
