> If the app is using public APIs and/or the 1.5 NDK, it should work > fine under 1.6. it should work... but the matter-of-fact is it doesn't work on 1.6. I'm aware of broken widget issue from 1.5 to 1.6 - though I’ve not yet debugged for details. Dig the android-developer group for a couple of other cases of adc2 apps broken on 1.6.
>If not, make sure to file bugs at http://b.android.com >so that issues can be addressed. Yes, developers should report a bug... but as far as adc2 is concerned apps must not be judged on 1.6. A definite NO!!! NO!!! Adc2 judging app should not be supported on 1.6. Or better call-off the “community” judging for Round2 and let only the "expert" judges select the winning entries by evaluating the apps on 1.5 only. Even a single adc2 entry not working on 1.6 as compared with testing on 1.5 makes a strong case for above options. Whereas, there are at- least a handful of "reported" cases on android-developer group regarding adc2 entry app's failure on 1.6 Raphael, appreciate your effort in coming forward and investigate this whole adc2 on 1.6 issue(as probably this is the first official response in this matter). I would recommend that adc2 team should not assume that there are not many broken adc2 entries or that they can be fixed on the platform- side, based solely on developer/contestant response. I have an app that works fine on 1.5 but is broken on 1.6, yet I do not have sufficient time to debug and report it at this moment. Adc2 was meant for 1.5 and should continue with that. Unfortunately I see this not happening (read further only to know why). If I’ve read into the ADC2 developments correctly, Round-1 was meant to be a filtering round and avoid poorly built “HelloWorld I can code for Android so can you offer me Android work?” slip-out to larger audience. Round-2 will see public/media announcements to judge a better set of 200 apps. Certainly is good for overall Android/ developer image. So what I understand is 200 apps are meant to reach and involve larger audience (than initial n,nnn apps). This means community-judging cannot be called-off. 1.6 is a commercial commitment and cannot be meddled with either. Developers cannot be given an opportunity to fix their entries for 1.6, as competitor’s apps are exposed and will lead to copying of ideas. Very little hope with adc2 for apps broken due to 1.6 release. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
