As many of you may have heard, Froyo is coming to the Verizon Droid starting July 13th. That means millions of devices will be running Froyo. There are a couple of important changes that need to be made in order to be "Froyo compliant," here's what I've found:
Store app on SD card This is a really easy modification, just add: android:installLocation="auto" ro your manifest statement and build with level 8. The important change, and this one seems to be a lot more difficult to find, is it seems Froyo is a lot more picky on null tests. Be sure your app tests values for null or you'll get the dreaded FC. Another thing you should do at this time is update your launcher icon. The new flat style should be used at this point, along with adding the various resolutions. This also is easy, just add the correct drawable directories and the associated icons: drawable - default, works with 1.5 drawable-hdpi - for "high" resolution devices drawable-mdpi - for "medium" resolution devices See: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html for full details on inco specs. Anyone have other tips for Froyo compliance? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
