Thanks, very good document.

I have a question: Note that in order to retain security, only two
applications signed with the same signature (and requesting the same
sharedUserId) will be given the same user ID

Does this means that its impossible to have 3 or more applications
sharing the same user id?

thx

[android-developers] how to create a activity or a view that can be used by any application

Hi,

I'm not yet familiar with the android terms...

I have a library (a view) that has a simple activity. How can i make
it available to any application?

I can explain in details: i have a virtual machine that is composed of
0.1% java code and 99.9% c code. Basically, the java code process
events and sends to the vm.

Now an user may deploy its application. The idea is to have something
like this:

  Intent intent = new Intent(android.intent.action.MAIN);
  intent.setClassName(packageName, className);
  intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
 Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT );
  startActivity(intent);
  return 0;

How can i make the activity available to any application so that the
code above would work?

best regards

guich

[android-developers] Problem using AudioRecord in Motorola Milestone

2010-01-17 Thread Omer Gilad

My application uses AudioRecord to record streaming voice. On ANY
OTHER Android device it initializes properly and works great,
excluding Motorola Milestone, which force closes and the log shows:

01-17 14:08:41.124: DEBUG/AudioHardwareMot(1059):

01-17 14:08:41.124: ERROR/AudioRecord-Java(2190):

AudioRecord object.

Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, and looking into the
platform source code doesn't clarify it. It returns with BAD_VALUE
error code. The code in AudioFlinger.cpp that does that:

[CODE]spIAudioRecord AudioFlinger::openRecord(

2914 { // scope for mLock
2915 Mutex::Autolock _l(mLock);
2916 thread = checkRecordThread_l(input);
2917 if (thread == NULL) {
2918 lStatus = BAD_VALUE;
2919 goto Exit;
2920 }
2921
2922 wclient = mClients.valueFor(pid);
2923 if (wclient != NULL) {
2924 client = wclient.promote();
2925 } else {
2926 client = new Client(this, pid);
2927 mClients.add(pid, client);
2928 }
2929
2930 // create new record track. The record track uses one
track in mHardwareMixerThread by convention.
2931 recordTrack = new RecordThread::RecordTrack(thread,
client, sampleRate,
2932format,
channelCount, frameCount, flags);
2933 }
2934 if (recordTrack-getCblk() == NULL) {
2935 // remove local strong reference to Client before
deleting the RecordTrack so that the Client
2936 // destructor is called by the TrackBase destructor with
mLock held
2937 client.clear();
2938 recordTrack.clear();
2939 lStatus = NO_MEMORY;
2940 goto Exit;
2941 }
2942
2943 // return to handle to client
2944 recordHandle = new RecordHandle(recordTrack);

2946
2947 Exit:
2948 if (status) {
2949 *status = lStatus;
2950 }
2951 return recordHandle;
2952 }[/CODE]

The code that initializes AudioRecord:

[CODE]record = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, 8000,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, 
AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize
(8000,

AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT) * 4);[/CODE]

Again, it works fine on any other device, including Droid.

Thanks for any help!

[android-developers] HashMap, ArrayList and fastest way to iterate Collections on Android (+other ways to make it run like a wild horse)

2010-01-17 Thread Mika

Simple question, what is the fastest way to iterate through
collections on Android? I generally use collection.iterator(); and the
iterator.next() to iterate through the whole collection. Is it any
faster to drop that and iterate with old (and I use the term old
loosely...) :

for( int i=0; icollection.size(); i++) ?

I was thinking of getting the collection.size() into a separate
variable so I wouldn't be asking the collection it's size all the time
so basically the for loop would turn into something like this:

int size = collection.size();
for( int i=0; isize; i++ )
   collection.get(i);

Any better? Speed wise, I mean. I'm in a point where I need to get
every possible inch of speed for my application.
Or maybe allocate everything into Lists in the start, and once I know
the correct amount of data, I turn all that into arrays and drop the
Lists so I can have array[index] (Log(1) access, right? OH wait.. how
did this go again _ ) access instead of having the slow method
calls in between like .get(); when accessing the data in the
collection.

And what about getters  setters for Classes? Like let's have a
Vector2D class that contains obvious integer x and integer y values.
What is the fastest way to access them inside the class? Have them as
public and just straight Vector2D.x = someValue; or through getters
and setters? I've had much debate with my tutor about this (working on
my final year project) but not to get too much into details of it...

Also all links for further Android application optimisation are more
than welcome and greatly appreciated (I read the googles docs on this
already). Plus if you have found some really good tricks / quirks on
Android to punish the device even more so it runs faster, do share, do
share. Heh.

Please be gentle on me, I'm such a beginner in all things Android that
I feel absolutely dumb as a boot for asking these kind of things. I
come from strong C++ / Java background but getting the extra inch of
speed for everything on Android is so different than optimizing code
for PC side and not that you even have to do it on PC side that often.

Fire away gents and ladies!

[android-developers] handling user groups in android

Hi,

I have the following situation:

library L, and three applications, A ,B and C

A should access data in L and L should access data in A
B should access data in L and L should access data in B
C should access data in L and L should access data in C

However, A, B and C should NOT be able to access each other's data.

In linux, this should be achieved using groups. So, A,B,C would belong
to the group L.

I learned about the sharedUserId, but it doesn't supports groups. Any
thoughts on how this could be achieved?

best regards

[android-developers] installing files in the data/data/package using apk?

Hi,

I want to install some data files in the data/data/package folder.
These data files are mixed-case. Can apk do this someway?

If this is not possible, i was thinking in the creation of a packages,
like a zip file. Then, when my app first runs, i would decompress the
files into the data/data/package folder and then delete the original
zip. I could create the zip as a resource, however, doing this, i'm
sure that i would not be able to delete the zip, am I right?

thx

[android-developers] Re: Varying screen resolutions

2010-01-17 Thread Neilz

 Step 1: RT[F]M 
 ;^)http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

Fair enough ;-) though it's not as much fun as chatting on a forum!

 The summary is that you can
 either leave android:anyDensity=false in your manifest to let the
 platform scale your bitmaps, or you can include bitmaps of different
 sizes for different screen densities.

Well, I read the docs, now that I know they're there, although I can't
say I find them very clear.

I tried various combinations of android:anyDensity and supports-
screens, but the default action seems to have been the best I could
get anyway. I set up two Emulators:

- Android 2.0 (level 5) WVGA800, density 240
- Android 2.0 (level 5) WVGA854, density 240

My app appears fine in the first, but in the second it gets shrunk and
leaves a black border.

Any ideas how I can get this working? Current manifest reads:

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3  android:targetSdkVersion=4 /
supports-screens
  android:largeScreens=true
  android:normalScreens=true
  android:smallScreens=true
  android:anyDensity=false /

[android-developers] Android's Gallery is finding my Resource images!

2010-01-17 Thread Chris

Hello,

I have an application that uses a lot of png textures. There are too
many to store with the app, so they are installed onto the SDCARD
instead. The problem is that the default android gallery is seeing the
png textures and is cluttering up the user's gallery screens with
them.

Is there a way to mark this resource folder in a particular manner so
that Gallery will skip over it? Ideally, i'd like this to be something
that my app can set so that the user doesn't have to do it.

Thanks in advance!

Re: [android-developers] ATTENTION ANDROID TEAM: Take back control of Android.

2010-01-17 Thread Mark Murphy

 It might eventually be possible to introduce a compatibility mode so
 older applications could run in the latest versions of Android, but I
 suspect that is a ways off since it is likely memory intensive.

On the whole, older applications run quite delightfully in newer versions
of Android.

Some small percentage of apps will need to be modified for any given
Android release (e.g., those apps using contacts may need a revamp to deal
with the new contacts API introduced with Android 2.0). And applications
may need updates to take full advantage of newer capabilities (e.g.,
improved multiple screen resolution support introduced in Android 1.6).

[android-developers] Re: HashMap, ArrayList and fastest way to iterate Collections on Android (+other ways to make it run like a wild horse)

2010-01-17 Thread theSmith

Mika,

Check out the Real-time games and lightning talks videos, they're very
helpful.

As far as the speed, I would run some tests and look at the results,
some nice hard data :)
Become familiar with DDMS (the stand alone program, not plugin) - DDMS
has an allocation tracker, which lets you know where you are
requesting the most memory, which is what is going to slow you down.

code.

 Simple question, what is the fastest way to iterate through
 collections on Android? I generally use collection.iterator(); and the
 iterator.next() to iterate through the whole collection. Is it any
 faster to drop that and iterate with old (and I use the term old
 loosely...) :

 for( int i=0; icollection.size(); i++) ?

 I was thinking of getting the collection.size() into a separate
 variable so I wouldn't be asking the collection it's size all the time
 so basically the for loop would turn into something like this:

 int size = collection.size();
 for( int i=0; isize; i++ )
    collection.get(i);

 Any better? Speed wise, I mean. I'm in a point where I need to get
 every possible inch of speed for my application.
 Or maybe allocate everything into Lists in the start, and once I know
 the correct amount of data, I turn all that into arrays and drop the
 Lists so I can have array[index] (Log(1) access, right? OH wait.. how
 did this go again _ ) access instead of having the slow method
 calls in between like .get(); when accessing the data in the
 collection.

 And what about getters  setters for Classes? Like let's have a
 Vector2D class that contains obvious integer x and integer y values.
 What is the fastest way to access them inside the class? Have them as
 public and just straight Vector2D.x = someValue; or through getters
 and setters? I've had much debate with my tutor about this (working on
 my final year project) but not to get too much into details of it...

 Also all links for further Android application optimisation are more
 than welcome and greatly appreciated (I read the googles docs on this
 already). Plus if you have found some really good tricks / quirks on
 Android to punish the device even more so it runs faster, do share, do
 share. Heh.

 Please be gentle on me, I'm such a beginner in all things Android that
 I feel absolutely dumb as a boot for asking these kind of things. I
 come from strong C++ / Java background but getting the extra inch of
 speed for everything on Android is so different than optimizing code
 for PC side and not that you even have to do it on PC side that often.

[android-developers] GMail in intent chooser for twitter intent ???

2010-01-17 Thread greg1x

Hi!

I'm sending a twitter intent from my app, but the intent chooser
brings up GMail as the first choice and Twidroid as the second one.

My question is: Why is GMail popping up for application/
twitter? ..It simply starts composing an email message..

I'm sending the intent as read on the Twidroid plugins page:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, tweet);
sendIntent.setType(application/twitter);
mContext.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null));

Thanks for any help!

P.S.: Seesmic is also installed, but it doesn't seem to handle this
intent. Isn't there a common twitter intent type that is supported by
all the major clients?

[android-developers] Poll Accelerometers instead of using a listener?

Hi,

Can someone tell me if it's possible to periodically poll the
accelerometers for data instead of registering a listener? I know i
can just use the listener to store the data and then poll my temporary
storage later but I'd prefer to just poll for data when I need it
instead of having it constantly flowing.

[android-developers] How can I get the current rotation of my mobile using g-sensor and compass?

2010-01-17 Thread Martin

Hi!
Is there some example-code to get the current rotation of my cellphone
using g-sensor and compass at the same time?
With the Google-Sky application for example, you can watch EVERY star
on your mobile. You can turn your mobile in 360 degrees in x-, y-, and
z-direction.

I want to get the rotation of my cellphone but I do not understand
much of the g-sensor and compass api. Can somebody help me, give me an
example-code or better, if possible, a class which tells me the actual
rotation?

THANK YOU!!! :-)

[android-developers] Re: Find out if the user rated my application in the Market

2010-01-17 Thread Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)

I've found that about 1% of users will take the trouble to rate an
app. If you bug them about it, I'm guessing they'll give you a low
star rating along with some sort of comment that says Dev annoys with
request to rate.

Additionally (and counter intuitively), low ratings seem to affect
market position while high ratings do not.

The question you should be asking yourself is: Do I really want every
user to rate my app?

As to the answer, since you have no access to rating information nor
who made the rating, your problem will be difficult if not impossible
to solve given the current access to market data.

On the flip side, the data to identify a particular user exists, it
may not identify who the user is in terms of if they downloaded your
app or not, but there is identification data of some sort that goes
along with the comments. You can see this in Androlib, click on a
comment, you'll see every comment that user made on any app.

[android-developers] Bussiness Model

2010-01-17 Thread Business Talk

Do you think that the business model based on an application that
displays/manages paid content is workable in the android environment?
I think it is not due to the application market’s lack of support for
the paid content?  What I mean is that applications, such as iTunes,
can be installed from the market but the paid content, such as mp3s,
can not be purchased from the market. So, it would have to be
purchased through a service outside of the market, as it is the case
with iTunes, which is a well established service. In case of a new
service, the user would have to open a separate account with the
charge information, which is always a problem, specially when it’s a
new service. Also, the service itself would have to manage the
financial transactions, which introduces additional complexity. Any
thought on the subject?

[android-developers] Re: ATTENTION ANDROID TEAM: Take back control of Android.

2010-01-17 Thread Daniel

The fragmentation problem is mainly with the newest APIs, and
applications taking advantage of them.

Official, or supported APIs barely change, and if they do, the older
API is backward compatible.
Take for instance the contacts API before 2.0 (Contacts.People), and
the newest (ContactsContract) that supports multiple contacts sources
(multiple google accounts syncing contacts). Using the Contacts.People
API on newer versions (2.0+) still works, its just limited to display
the contacts from the main account but it works, it doesn't break.

However, when it comes to newer APIs, like lets say Text-to-Speech
(introduced in 1.6), and Dock support (introduced in 2.0), it's a pain
in the butt to make the apps backward compatible with older or
outdated devices, and take advantage of those APIs in newer or
updated devices, yes, there are ways to introduce these new features,
but its very painful to keep those users that are on older versions of
android happy, without errors and such.

As of now it is an issue, not that big of an issue but it's there, and
it can just become worse. Keeping track of 3-4 versions is not that
big of a deal, but manufacturers need to move, because I would shoot
myself if I had to keep supporting 5-6 versions of android (1.5, 1.6,
2.0, 2.1, 2.5?, 2.7?, 3.0?)... that my friends, will be extremely
painful for MOST developers out there.

Re: [android-developers] Bussiness Model

I think hybrid business models are worth looking into. Look at the business
models of some of the free applications. For example, the Bank of America
application is free. Although the development investment was probably modest
(for a bank), the expense can be justified by the brand-building the
application provides. They could have perhaps charged for it, but they
weren't dependent on the revenue of selling the application. Another
perspective is the whole services vs applications model. You can charge only
once for the application, but repeatedly for the service. Yet another
perspective is to look for who benefits besides the user. Remember the
original MTV? The users got free music videos. The record stores sold more
music. This leads to another perspective. Think about what your users would
buy besides your application.

I am assuming you posted 3 times by accident?

Yes.. cookie. Desktop (or mobile device) applications don't maintain cookies

as party of the response. You can then append this to pass the same cookie
back... or look into how HttpClient maintains cookies as the above post

Re: [android-developers] Re: Find out if the user rated my application in the Market

I read a fascinating book A Complaint is a Gift. The gist is that few
people will give you feedback, and most of it will be negative. Furthermore,
the few negatives are the tip of the iceberg, so treat every complaint as a
gift. I also suggest you don't relay solely on the Android Market for
feedback. Publish your email address (like many other Android developers
do), get people to post about your application in other Android websites,
maintain contact with your users and give them top-notch support.

[android-developers] Facebook Camera Activity - Custom or Not?

2010-01-17 Thread AndroidDevFTW


Hi all--

I'm looking to implement functionality similar to the Facebook Apps'
Take Photo feature -- does anyone know if the Camera activity that
pops up after clicking the Take Photo icon is a custom Activity or a
re-use of our phone's OOTB Camera app?  The interface looks quite
similar to the OOTB app, but I'm not sure how to reconfigure
applications responding to implicit intents so that the available
buttons are different.  For example, the OOTB Camera App displays last
taken picture, slider to choose between video/camera -- the Facebook
app Camera app displays Cancel and Retake buttons...

Thanks for any tips!

Re: [android-developers] Re: ATTENTION ANDROID TEAM: Take back control of Android.

First.. let me ask for those of you that have apps in the market.. if I have
a 1.5 version out there.. it shows up on any device that is 1.5 or later,
right? Now..if I update it to run on 2.0.. will the update be made available
or even notify 1.5/1.6 users? Or does it only show up for 2.0 and later
users in their market?

As someone else said, one of the appeals of Android, and no doubt one of the
biggest reasons every carrier and manufacturer has jumped on board is the
ability to customize it. For example, the new Sony phone coming out... it
has a really nice custom in-house notification manager that no other phone
has. It's that capability that is going to bring a lot of vendors and
carrier to Android. Also keep in mind.. competition. If every android device
looks/operates exactly the same.. then the only difference really is
hardware and name brand recognition. A driving force behind all these
companies supporting Android and building to it is to distinguish themselves
from others. They want people to buy their phones because the Sense UI is
better or easier than others. Android allows them to do this, and quite
easily for the most part compared to say building on Palm's or other OSs out
there. So without a doubt you're going to see different UIs and us
developers may face UI issues trying to have apps integrate within those
custom UIs. HOWEVER, I stand firm when I say.. if your app does NOT work on
a given devices customized UI, its the fault of the customizer, not your
app. They should absolutely be held to the same standards we are when it
comes to developing on Android. If they make custom capabilities that do not
work on other devices, what's the point of even using them? Honestly if
Sony's custom scrolling notification system is accessible to us Android
developers, then really it's only of use to build custom apps specific to
that phone. It doesn't benefit Sony to make such a custom modification in
hopes that us one-offs will build something from it that only runs on the
Sony phone. Most likely they will do in-house stuff with it and offer custom
apps for their phone only.  I think this is possible, because Verizon has a
tab on my moto droid, which I assume is only verizon and/or moto droid apps.
So I would imagine Sony could provide a tab on the market specific to their
phone, and place apps under it that will only show up for those using that
phone. I am not for sure on this tho.

Lastly, while I agree it will be a pain for us developers to maintain
multiple versions..  keep in mind that updates generally aren't more than a
couple a year and as Mark and others said, most things work on newer
updates. So unless you get issues with your app for specific API changes,
you shouldn't have to worry too much about future updates. Even if you do, I
don't see this being much different than most jobs I've had, where we have
older versions of software that we still support, fix bugs in, and continue
on with newer versions. As for display size changes. as far as I knew, if
you built your app to the SDK.. your displays would resize properly in most
cases. Not sure about video games, but at least most text based apps with
the right layouts should work on any screen size. What are some examples of
different screen sizes causing problems? I am curious for my own knowledge
to be prepared as I haven't seen that issue brought up much.

 the newest (ContactsContract) that supports multiple contacts sources
 (multiple google accounts syncing contacts). Using the Contacts.People
 API on newer versions (2.0+) still works, its just limited to display
 the contacts from the main account but it works, it doesn't break.

 However, when it comes to newer APIs, like lets say Text-to-Speech
 (introduced in 1.6), and Dock support (introduced in 2.0), it's a pain
 in the butt to make the apps backward compatible with older or
 outdated devices, and take advantage of those APIs in newer or
 updated devices, yes, there are ways to introduce these new features,
 but its very painful to keep those users that are on older versions of
 android happy, without errors and such.

 As of now it is an issue, not that big of an issue but it's there, and
 it can just become worse. Keeping track of 3-4 versions is not that
 big of a deal, but manufacturers need to move, because I would shoot
 myself if I had to keep supporting 5-6 versions of android (1.5, 1.6,
 2.0, 2.1, 2.5?, 2.7?, 3.0?)... that my friends, will be extremely
 painful for MOST developers out there.

[android-developers] Size 0kb for all transferred images to sdcard (Android Emulator)

2010-01-17 Thread Kevin Cherdchai

Hey Android community, I'm actually new here, so I would like to ask
for some guidance.

I recently just setup the Android SDK and got the emulator to be up
and running. However, right now I'm not able to add files into the
sdcard.img for some strange reasons.

I entered the following command:
adb push test.jpg /sdcard/test.jpg

What happens is the file shows up inside the image, but it reports
that the file has the size 0kb which is what I don't know where to
approach.

My end goal is to get the image to pop up within the gallery, but
apparently it always show No media found in which i suppose it came
from the 0kb in size.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in
advance.

[android-developers] Re: Find out if the user rated my application in the Market

2010-01-17 Thread Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)

I agree with your post 100%. While it's nice to receive compliments, a
complaint, or most complaints, are quite valuable.

I publish my e-mail address, have an app web site and also have
enlisted a fairly large beta test group (about 80 people at this
writing) to support the app Radar Now! The beta test group is
probably the most valuable. They run pre-release versions through the
paces on virtually every device and OS, then report back problems and
other comments. Without the beta group, the end user experience would
be a lot worse.

Negative comments on the market are not so useful though. Most of them
are something along the lines Does not work, uninstall with nothing
more. There are also the asdfrehasg and sucks one star ratings
that are less than useful to anyone. Why did it suck? What did you do
to make it suck? What didn't suck? None of those can be answered nor
can you address the complaint, even useful ones with any hope that the
poster will read them.

The best feedback is feedback you can answer, inquire, refine, address
and solve to the satisfaction of the complainer. I've had people write
to me complaining that RN didn't find their position. Upon inquiry,
some discovered their wireless network location service was disabled
and they were inside where GPS didn't work. Enabling that service made
the app work to their delight and they were satisfied.

What did I do about that? Add a generous number of informative error
messages so that the next user who had a similar problem would be
informed what to do instead of suffer with a seemingly inoperative
program. I wouldn't have added those messages without the feedback.

Android Users Beta Test Community

I think it would be a great idea if Android developed an official beta
test community of users. Perhaps this could be done with a
notification of some sort in the market app.

A beta test community of users would be available to the developer to
try out apps or new versions of apps before they hit the market. The
mechanism could be as simple as having any app that wanted to be part
of the beta community automatically create a new Google Group and have
the beta people be notified there is a new app to be tested. Results
could be posted in the group and the developer or other beta members
could respond to the postings. End result would be better, more bullet
proof apps and a more satisfied user experience.

Re: [android-developers] Bussiness Model

For the OP.. I think what Frank says above is very true.. although possibly
not so big yet on Android. There are a couple of barriers that I wonder if
we'll be able to get past. The biggest barrier to me is having to NOT use
your carrier to pay for items. It would be VERY nice if the market would
just charge stuff to the carrier bill and not have to deal with google
checkout and such. That is one of those things that can be a deal breaker
for many people that don't quite get how all that works. Even better would
be a way for developers to be able to securely tap into that feature.. so
they could offer pay services of some sort and not have to have a user log
in to google checkout, paypal, etc to pay for it. If those two hurtles are
overcome, I think you'll see a LOT more free apps with pay services
attached.

I'll give you the best example I think you'll see.. and I certainly would do
this myself even with the present semi-difficult pay arrangements needed.
Game packs. Or app packs depending on the app (app packs could be plugins
like codecs for a music player, etc). I see no reason why a game or app
can't offer more updates without using the market, to get users to pay for
those addons. One minor issue with this (although this may not be so) is the
inability to store the stuff to the SD card. I think it could be possible
tho..just not entirely sure. But being able to get a free or cheap game or
app on the market.. then simply grab new updates via addon packs would be
really nice. I just paid for some xbox 360 add-on packs for a couple games.
I think the biggest problem for games on Android right now tho that will
pretty much null the pay-for packs is the inability to create high quality
games. There are some, for sure... but having read a few articles on them,
presently android developers have to really really fine tune their apps to
reak 30fps or better out of them. That will change once the JIT comes out
for Dalvik AND OpenGL and OpenCL libraries are readily available! We should
see iPhone like games/music apps soon after that.

But I definitely would myself make use of this sort of business model. I
think it gets your app/game into far more hands when it's free.. and if it's
good, people will pay. The one area that may be difficult tho is avoiding
piracy. Not sure yet how to get around that, but it would be nice if you
could. If you're game requires internet, then it's possible you can always
send a check to a server to make sure the game/add on pack is valid before
allowing for it. For example, when the game users accepts to pay for an
addon pack.. I can see the server side actually compiling in the code the
game passed as part of the request, and returning a custom compiled/built
add-on pack, so that the game can then verify that it's not a copied pack,
and the server side could keep track of the actual game/pack code and if a
2nd one springs up, disallow it. I am sure there is a lot more to it tho.

 I think hybrid business models are worth looking into. Look at the business
 models of some of the free applications. For example, the Bank of America
 application is free. Although the development investment was probably modest
 (for a bank), the expense can be justified by the brand-building the
 application provides. They could have perhaps charged for it, but they
 weren't dependent on the revenue of selling the application. Another
 perspective is the whole services vs applications model. You can charge only
 once for the application, but repeatedly for the service. Yet another
 perspective is to look for who benefits besides the user. Remember the
 original MTV? The users got free music videos. The record stores sold more
 music. This leads to another perspective. Think about what your users would
 buy besides your application.

 Do you think that the business model based on an application that

 I think it is not due to the application market’s lack of support for
 the paid content?  What I mean is that applications, such as iTunes,
 can be installed from the market but the paid content, such as mp3s,
 can not be purchased from the market. So, it would have to be
 purchased through a service outside of the market, as it is the case
 with iTunes, which is a well established service. In case of a new
 service, the user would have to open a separate account with the
 charge information, which is always a problem, specially when it’s a
 new service. Also, the service itself would have to manage the
 financial transactions, which introduces additional complexity. Any
 thought on the subject?

[android-developers] I can launch any app, but problems with contacts and phone

2010-01-17 Thread C.Versieux

Hi.

I recently made a software that can launch any application that is
open. It works really fine, except for 2 applications, and i really
don't understand why.

Here is what i do:


1) I make a list of all running apps:

Code:
activityManager = (ActivityManager)this.getSystemService
(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
ListActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo allTasks =
activityManager.getRunningTasks(30);


2) I get all the Intents to lauch apps:

Code:
for (ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo aTask : allTasks) {
(...)
PackageManager monPackageManager =getPackageManager();
myIntent= myPackageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage
(aTask.baseActivity.getPackageName()));


3) I launch my apps:

Code:
this.startActivity(myIntent);


This code work for all applications and it's nice. Therefore, i get
problems with:

com.android.contacts
com.android.phone - myIntent is null!!!

I really don't understand what happen with these 2 android
applications!

Bringing this back to the OP, how about a one-shot popup which asks
users to rate your app, but which appears a couple of weeks after the
app has been installed? The reasoning is that folks which don't like
your app won't keep it that long. Even if not everyone is 100%
satisfied with your app, this at least seems more likely to get useful
feedback (see other posts in this thread) than the simple sucks
comments.

 but this TextView should only be there if the
 user has not already rated it.

I don't think that information is available, so I'd just include a
button labeled I've already rated it. Some folks will use that
button anyway, of course, but you probably wouldn't have gone ahead
and rated it anyway.

[android-developers] Re: ATTENTION ANDROID TEAM: Take back control of Android.

2010-01-17 Thread Daniel

1) It depends on your Manifest.xml file, if your minSdk is set to,
lets say 4 (1.6), then new users on Android 1.6 and above will be the
only ones that see it. UNLESS, users on 1.5 already had your app (it
shows as installed, or purchased), then those users on sdk 3 (1.5)
will still see it and be able to download that update, then it will
forceclose and have all kinds of VerifyErrors when it comes to where
you use the new APIs

2) Completely agree, if manufacturers will create their own custom UI,
then they need to NOT break official Android's APIs and that all
android apps are compatible with their custom UI.
Also, Verizon's tab on the Android market, as well as other carriers,
are not showing apps that are specific to the phone you are using,
those apps are just apps that are recommended by that specific
carrier. T-mobile's tab has this as well (and they have an app called
AppPack, that lists the same apps apparently).

3) Agree, the problem comes when you need to update your app to
support new stuff, for example when version 2.0 showed up, users
wanted to see support on the Dock on several apps... or when 1.6
showed up, users wanted to see apps using the Text-to-Speech API on
some apps, etc, etc... there are solutions, but they are very painful.

By specifiying minSdkVersion and maxSdkVersion, you can provide
different versions for different sdks. Every user would only see one
version in the market, if I'm not mistaken. But you don't really want
to do that unless you really need those different versions.

Re: [android-developers] Re: ATTENTION ANDROID TEAM: Take back control of Android.

Man..now that sucks. That is a bug if you ask me.. the market should NOT
show a 1.5 users a 1.6 SDK app update. That's just pure stupidity. That
makes no sense at all and I am shocked and disturbed that this is how it
works. They basically want you to submit a brand new 1.6 app so that 1.5
users don't get the update.. how hard is it to actually put a little code in
the market app that checks the min SDK and even IF the user has the app, if
their OS is not 1.6, don't show it. Very bad design of the market app
developers/designers.

available
or even notify 1.5/1.6 users? Or does it only show up for 2.0 and later
users in their market?

By specifiying minSdkVersion and maxSdkVersion, you can provide
different versions for different sdks. Every user would only see one
version in the market, if I'm not mistaken. But you don't really want
to do that unless you really need those different versions.
