If you are writing code that uses the view system and other standard stuff such as network operations, sync manager, storage, preferences, etc... then the emulator will work fine. If you are working in an area that's a bit more hardware sensitive (graphic code, accelerometer, GPS, camera, Bluetooth, etc...) then you will be better off developing on a real device. Thankfully, these two modes of development are very similar so switching between them is pretty much frictionless. As opposed, to, say, Java ME. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
