[android-beginners] Re: Poor Documentation
Yes - as a beginner it is especially frustrating. Actually some of the documentation is missing especially on the XML attributes for shapes etc. I think what the documentation needs is an example of how you might use it like the PHP docs have. So at the bottom of each class there will be a demo of how to use the basic features. For me this just makes the whole process of learning and getting your head around the concepts that much easier. I would also like to see a seperate XML section devoted to using XML in android. -jack On Oct 22, 5:09 pm, Sean Hodges seanhodge...@googlemail.com wrote: On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 10:00 AM, gmseed gms...@gmail.com wrote: Take the Sensor page, which lists the public methods: float getMaximumRange() String getName() float getPower() float getResolution() int getType() String getVendor() int getVersion() Not a single comment as to what these do. Readers must be expected to be mind readers. From the developer docs: public float getMaximumRange () Since: API Level 3 Returns * maximum range of the sensor in the sensor's unit. public String getName () Since: API Level 3 Returns * name string of the sensor. public float getPower () Since: API Level 3 Returns * the power in mA used by this sensor while in use public float getResolution () Since: API Level 3 Returns * resolution of the sensor in the sensor's unit. public int getType () Since: API Level 3 Returns * generic type of this sensor. public String getVendor () Since: API Level 3 Returns * vendor string of this sensor. public int getVersion () Since: API Level 3 Returns * version of the sensor's module. The comments might be terse, but I think the general info is available there. As a class representing abstracted hardware, I'm not entirely sure how much much info it can provide in itself. Perhaps you are looking for a tutorial on the sensor framework, rather than the reference docs? Then take SensorListener, which provides a few comments on the accelermoeter, magnetic and orientation sensors but no mention of the other sensors. When I run an application with onSensorChanged (int sensor, float[] values) it outputs 6 values and not 3 as the documentation would suggest. I do agree that the documentation does not often follow the latest API, some documentation becomes out of date. I suspect the extra 3 values were added to support new devices on the market, and the docs have not been updated to reflect that. There's no good excuse for it; but flagging the omissions up in the Android bug tracker will hopefully get the issue raised and resolved for future developers... I gather from reading previous posts that this documentation issue is not new and has been around since the start of Android. Clearly then somebody at Google has a strange idea as to what documenting an API means. The Android system is amazing but really let down by its developer documentation. I've always found the Android documentation to be fairly good, it's far from perfect but a lot better than many commercial/OSS projects I've come across in the past. Having said that, I'll admit that I might have just spent far too much time sifting through GTK/Python/C++ reference docs, and have developed a slightly skewed perspective :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

Yes this is possible. You will need to create web service also where user movement is stored.

XmlListHandler listXmlHandler = new XmlListHandler();
Eclipse shows me this error:
No enclosing instance of type SpellDroidDbAdapter is accessible. Must
qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type
SpellDroidDbAdapter (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of
SpellDroidDbAdapter).
/*

* @param xmlFile a List XML file

SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();

My paid key app does just this. When the user tries to launch it, it simply tries to launch the free version of my app. If the free version doesn't exist an exception is thrown and I display a dialog that more or less says AppSwipe! was not found. Please go to the market and install it now The dialog has a button that says Go to market... and when they click on that it goes to the market and pulls up only the application that needs to be installed. It sounds like a lot of work, but really it isn't all that bad. I programmed that functionality in about 20 minutes. Thanks, Justin -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

Is there a way where a user could download just the paid app?

Doing it the way I described in the other thread allows the main application to contain all the functionality to run in both lite and paid modes. The mode that the application runs in is determined by whether you have the key installed, which of course would have to have a separate package name because you are not allowed to upload two projects with the same package name. The application that acts as a key never even has to run... it just has to exist. Although, in my case, I have my key program set to just launch my main app and quit. Pulling common stuff out into a separate library would work (kind of) but it would not be as easy as my method. Thanks, Justin -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

You would either have to re-name your package each time you published, or you would need two different projects, wouldn't you? Another approach is to try to pull out as much common functionality as you can into a 3rd Java-only project, with each of your projects (paid and free). The tough part is that you can't move anything that references resources into a Java-only project.

Just do a quick search for code base and you will find out how to do this. If you have done this already, then you can ignore this, but a lot of duplicate questions can be eliminated simply by searching for an answer before posting a new question...
