Thanks guys. But once my code base changed, will the emulator take the changes automatically, and all I have to do is, go back to "home" and from there open the application again? Or how do I ask the emulator to reload?
And, Fabrizio Giudici, thanks for your good suggestion. But the thing is, I just started with Android, so I don't know a lot of thing (like how to upload an app on my device...). So I think it will take little time for me to get hold of all those things :| On Jul 6, 6:44 pm, Fabrizio Giudici <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 7/6/10 18:31 , Dominic Mitchell wrote:> On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 10:31 AM, > jahid <[email protected] > > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > > I am trying out Android.
