Hello,
There are certain application which are default available on Android and
certain applications available freely in market place. Greader is an
application not available default in the Open source package on web to
download.
1) Is it legal to install Greader as an application on the devices when it is
shipped to customer? if yes, what is the best way to do it? Can we simply use
the apk file of Greader and install it on device? Any other better ways?
2) When the applications are built, it will also have lot of dependency on the
hardware availability on device. If there is an application developed for T G1
Mobile using the GPS hardware then this application cannot work on another
device which does not have GPS hardware. Since we have market place for Android
today and mostly targetting for T G1 mobile, how do we ensure that users must
not able to install it on devices that does not support all the required
hardware for device? There are few ways to deal with it.
a) Have market place specific to each device
b) The application developers has to clearly document what is the
expected harwdare for the applications to work so that the users are aware of
whether would work on the device or not. This is mostly manual then.
c) Ideally we should ensure that the application installation must
happen only if before installation, the compatibility check passes. This is
possible only if we bring in a framework design for this structurally.
Appreciate if our Google friends can respond to understand what the design
throughts are at present and for the future keeping all these in mind.
Regards
Rangan.
