Re: [android-developers] Advertising opt out
I just want to throw my 2cents here... While the math presented here is true, you left out an interesting side effect: Implementing an opt out can lead to higher click through rates and higher click through rates draw higher bids from the advertisers meaning higher revenue / click values. The math was based on the assumption that the revenue/click value is the same for all applications. This is not true. I have two apps apparently with the same user base and one of them have the 4 times the CTR as the other and the one with higher CTR brings in about 20% more revenue per clicks. Higher bidding advertisements appear more often in apps that have higher CTRs affectively resulting in higher revenue / click figures. Now it's a different story whether allowing that 1.5% users not to show the ads will increase your CTR noticeably... I think no, but the goodwill might counter your small losses. It really depends on the user attitudes. Rudolf On Wednesday, September 19, 2012 12:54:35 AM UTC+2, Nathan wrote: Let's be civil here. No one has proposed annoying the hell out of your users. If you do, the users will uninstall you long before they make any sort of opt out decision. I can agree with several people here. Fran and William are right about the math. John's approach does not bring him more revenue, and likely reduces it by a small amount. CTR and eCPM are vanity metrics. Nonetheless, John's approach is reasonable if it is worthwhile to give up a miniscule amount of revenue, in exchange for increased goodwill and decreased support costs. I've been known to give a few refunds that were entirely undeserved, just because I have better things to do than argue with customers. But William's approach also makes sense. Let's not use words like blackmail and hostage. You are offering something of value, ad free use of your app. In a free market, the user can accept the offer and pay, decide that the ads aren't really that bad and decline, or even decide to uninstall your app. No hostages, no blackmail. Certainly there are other offers you could make to your users, alone or in combination. Since there is a way to opt out of ads, albeit a paid one, reasonable people are less likely to complain. UNreasonable people, well, they might still do that . . . I am not using ads for a revenue source in anything right now. Personally, I wouldn't take John's approach for the simple reason that I'd never get around to implementing it. I have several hundred things on a list that I could do to make things better for my customers: features, usability, content, etc. I think it fair to prioritize such requests above those things that would make life easier for the people who are unwilling to pay, neither through accepting ads nor making a purchase. That puts it at the bottom of the list which means I will get to it approximately. . . never. I'm not in business to please everyone. Don't get me wrong - I want those who do purchase and use my products to have a great experience. But you could release an app with no monetization whatsoever and it would still get complaints. You can't expect those of us who want/need to earn revenue to be exempt. Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Refrsh Android browser from other application.
I am searching ways of working with Android Standard Browser from my own
application. First of all I want to know is there a way to refresh last
opened tag in the Standard Android Browser by sending some intent from the
own application or something else, I try do do that using this code, but it
doesn't work
private static final String PACKAGE_BROWSER = com.android.browser;
private static final String PACKAGE_BROWSER_GOOGLE =
com.google.android.browser;
private void launchBrowser(){
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
String browserPackage = getBrowserPackage();
Uri yourUri = Uri.parse(www.google.com);
intent.setDataAndType(yourUri, text/html);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(browserPackage,
com.android.browser.BrowserActivity));
startActivity(intent);
}
private String getBrowserPackage(){
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
PackageInfo packageInfo = null;
try {
packageInfo = pm.getPackageInfo(PACKAGE_BROWSER, 0);
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if(packageInfo==null){
return PACKAGE_BROWSER_GOOGLE;
}else{
return PACKAGE_BROWSER;
}
}
The hole problem that I want to solve is a detection of is my own
application is installed on a phone when user press on a link in a Standard
Android Browser.I know that this problem has no trivial solution, or maybe
it have no solution at all, but I am trying to understand why there is no
solution.
No I am on a point when by clicking on a browser link I open my application
if it is installed on a phone and if it is not installed I open an Android
play store page in a browser, using this
https://gist.github.com/2662899example
. But this example have some bat side as it always open Android Play Store
in the browser only if my application exist in a phone it opens it first
and then user press back in application and he can see how on a browser
Android Store is loading.

[android-developers] Re: how to inject non-english characters
Hi LeenuxGuy,
I found kind of a solution:
1. Backup clipboard content
2. Put your character in clipboard
3. Inject menu-key, then v-key. This is a keyboard shortcut for
pasting the clipboard.
4. Unfortunately Android is inserting spaces before and after the
content in some cases.
Try to remove them by injecting DPAD_LEFT, DELETE
5. Put the backed up clipboard content back in the clipboard.
That is in fact so ugly and unreliable, that I discarded it right away.
* On some phones the paste shortcut also triggers the menu.
* There is a racecondition in the clipboard. Sometimes the old
clipboard content is pasted instead of the just inserted character.
* I can't get rid of these spaces reliably. I don't know why Android
is doing this. That's even a pain when using the clipboard the
intended way.
So, currently I stick with english characters. Sorry.
I would be glad to hear from you, when you got a solution.
Best regards,
Hardy
2012/9/18 LeenuxGuy bijoy.an...@gmail.com:
Hi Hardy,
Did you ever find a solution for this? I also have a signed app with
INJECT_EVENTS permissions, and I want to be able to send any character
(English or otherwise) on to various EditText fields, based on external
input.
On Tuesday, May 29, 2012 3:06:43 AM UTC-5, Hardy Kahl wrote:
I am programming on a remote control app. One of the tasks I am facing
is injecting characters. The code I am currently using looks like
this:
Instrumentation instr = new Instrumentation();
String str=a;
// basically the same like calling instr.sendStringSync(str);
char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
KeyCharacterMap keyCharacterMap =
KeyCharacterMap.load(KeyCharacterMap.VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD);
KeyEvent[] keyEvents = m_KeyCharacterMap.getEvents(chars);
if (keyEvents != null) {
for (KeyEvent kev : keyEvents) {
instr.sendKeySync(kev);
}
}
That works perfectly on english characters (The characters show up in
EditText boxes). However, if I am trying to inject e.g. korean
characters, this fails. The function getEvents returns null, even when
I have configured korean language and keyboard.
I know there is another mehtod for injecting strings directly:
KeyEvent event = new KeyEvent(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), str, 0, 0);
instr.sendKeySync(event);
This is not working either - no characters shown in EditText boxes,
and onKeyMultiple() is not called either in my test activity.
This is strange since dispatchKeyEvent() with the same event works in
my test activity:
KeyEvent event = new KeyEvent(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), str, 0, 0);
dispatchKeyEvent(event);
I believe injecting the string directly is the correct way. However,
using instrumentation it looks like the event is discarded somewhere
in Android.
The reason why I am not using dispatchKeyEvent is that I have to
inject events no matter which activity is in front, even it is not my
own activity. I think that is not possible using dispatchKeyEvent, is
it?
Using Instrumentation this is possible. At least with english
characters. (My app is signed with the platform key and I've got the
permission INJECT_EVENTS).
How am I supposed to inject non-english characters? Any ideas? I ran
out of ideas :(

Hardy Kahl

[android-developers] Re: OnDateChanged broken in ICS. Anyone have a work around?
The updateDate method will call onDateChanged and if the time comparison
logic isn't just right then this could lead to infinite recursion and a
StackOverflowError. I would guess that there's a discrepancy between the
Calendar millis and the Date millis. This could be tricky to get right
unless you're very diligent about setting every time field on both sides
down to the millisecond. In the code below, newDate will have the current
hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds, since it hasn't been clear()ed.
The milliseconds from newDate will be greater than the milliseconds from
maxDate if maxDate was created with only day precision (time will be
00:00:00.000).
Would it work if you simplified this to get the desired date and then use
that for the super() and init() params? According to the 4.1 sources, it
shouldn't be necessary to call updateDate, but I'm not sure about older
versions.

should restore your DatePickerDialog as the OnDateChangedListener.

I tried the work around suggested in it (not calling

have a suggestion to get OnDateChanged working with older versions of
Android (targeting 2.2 and above) running on devices with ICS installed?
Again, everything works fine with onDateChanged up until version 14.
After that, the call back never takes place. I need to know when the dialog
has had its date changed.

[android-developers] Re: Advertising opt out
Increasing CTR increases CPM. If you want to deny that, you're also denying yourself potential revenue. There's no simple math here as Rudolf explained. But forget the revenue. What is the point of an app anyway? It's providing a useful bit of software that improves the usability of the device to the user. Another words, a great user experience. My point is that by letting users opt out of ads for free, they get a better user experience and the device itself becomes more useful. If the point of your app isn't to do this, then for sure, free opt out isn't for you. One additional detail... Free users who opt out of ads will see them come back after 30 days. They can opt out again but they will be back after a month. We do this because a new user might automatically opt out of ads when they first install the app but later, after they get used to using the app, might hardly notice the ads coming back and even find them useful. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

AFAIK, Android does not support external sensors. While it may be While I suspected that, but is there any official statement to that effect ? Maybe something from which we could make this inference / draw this conclusion -- without doubt ? possible at the ADK level to cook up your own support for them, you cannot deliver the results through the standard SDK mechanisms, so no apps using such sensors would be able to use that data. Hence, the Play Store filtering is based on what SDK apps would be expecting -- it is less of an issue of does the device have a magnetic field sensor and one of does the device have a magnetic field sensor that works with SensorManager? I guess, GPS may be, an exception, but what you wrote, is probably true for all other sensors s.a. magentic-field-sensor, accelerometer/gyro etc. For GPS, there is at least one app available from appstore, which uses the Mock Locations method to inject true GPS coordinates into an application requiring fine-location, while getting the GPS coordinates from an external sensor via bluetooth. However the app needing fine-location might have to side-loaded, or, as I am beginning to suspect, not have uses-feature in it's manifest. Now, if in some future era, Android supports external sensors, Play Store filtering will hopefully change to match. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] handler pause and resume event
Hi all devs, I am currently using handlers to pausing and playing Runnable. I have two buttons - play and pause. On pause button click, I want to pause the event/runnable, which I am doing as follows: *handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);* * * but this seems to stop my current runnable, and when I play again, that thread is getting started again, though, I want the remaining one to complete first.* * For eg; I am having a number of images, which I am playing one by one, with the delay of 5 seconds each, as well as I am having play pause buttons, which I use to play and pause. Now, suppose I click pause button, just after 2 seconds of first image appearance, and then play again. The next image appears. But I want the first image to complete its remaining 3 seconds first, and then to display the next image. How to do this? Please, direct me.

[android-developers] Upgrading developer account from free apps to paid apps
I am from Romania. I've registered as an android developer using my credit card and paid the $25. I currently can post free apps on the market. I would like to upgrade my account so I can post paid apps. Now, the problem is that credit cards from Romania are not accepted by Google for such a thing (for posting paid apps). So I've asked a friend of mine from Denmark to let me use his credit card. My question is ... does it suffice to just change the credit card number specified in my account, from the current one, to my friend's ? Will that solely make me eligible to sell paid apps, or will I have to do something else like pay the $25 again, or do I have to create another account using his credit card? Hoe does this work exactly? If anyone can clarify this for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I was struggling on the same problem, and the finish/restart activity solution was not satisfying because I messes the back button history : when the user uses back, then the previous activity to be restored is not the activity that opened the preferences in the first place, but the preferences itself ! It is understandable because after all, we did actually call the PreferencesActivity from the PreferencesActivity... *The solution I use is quite simple : onCreate(null);* I simply tried calling onCreate, hoping that it would perform its initialization routine once more, and it did ! Hope it can help someone ;-) Le jeudi 2 octobre 2008 13:11:32 UTC+2, Amos a écrit : I have a PreferenceActivity inflated from xml. One of the preferences launches an intent which opens an activity that clears all the preferences and resets them to the default values. My problem is that when this restore defaults activity returns, the previous preference values still appear on the screen. If I exit the preference activity and then reopen it, the updated preference values appear. This seems like a refresh issue. Is there a way I can tell the PreferenceActivity to refresh its values?

[android-developers] Re: OnDateChanged broken in ICS. Anyone have a work around?
The minDate is actually one day in the past and the maxDate is actually one
day into the future so it shouldn't be a problem with being off by a few
milliseconds. There must be something else going on here.
I might debug it and try to see what is going on. Right now, I just check
to see if they changed the date beyond the allowed time and pop up a
message as a kludge until a true solution to get around the bug is coded.
This is second discrepancy I have found this week between how an older
version of Android and ICS worked BTW.

Calendar millis and the Date millis. This could be tricky to get right
unless you're very diligent about setting every time field on both sides
down to the millisecond. In the code below, newDate will have the current
hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds, since it hasn't been clear()ed.
The milliseconds from newDate will be greater than the milliseconds from
maxDate if maxDate was created with only day precision (time will be
00:00:00.000).
Would it work if you simplified this to get the desired date and then use
that for the super() and init() params? According to the 4.1 sources, it
shouldn't be necessary to call updateDate, but I'm not sure about older
versions.

Again, everything works fine with onDateChanged up until version 14.
After that, the call back never takes place. I need to know when the

Re: [android-developers] Advertising opt out
On Sep 19, 2012 8:47 AM, Rudolf Hornig rudolf.hor...@gmail.com wrote: I just want to throw my 2cents here... While the math presented here is true, you left out an interesting side effect: Implementing an opt out can lead to higher click through rates and higher click through rates draw higher bids from the advertisers meaning higher revenue / click values. Are you sure about that? Where is it written? The math was based on the assumption that the revenue/click value is the same for all applications. This is not true. I have two apps apparently with the same user base and one of them have the 4 times the CTR as the other and the one with higher CTR brings in about 20% more revenue per clicks. Well, my own experience is exactly the opposite: the SAME app released fourth months ago, over one million total installs, has had a lot of variation on CTR, and in many cases with a higher CTR and similar absolute clicks, I have got lower revenue. Even sometimes with a CTR very high, it seems like I were penalized with even lower revenue per click. Higher bidding advertisements appear more often in apps that have higher CTRs affectively resulting in higher revenue / click figures. I rather like to see some solid proof on these claims. Now it's a different story whether allowing that 1.5% users not to show the ads will increase your CTR noticeably... I think no, but the goodwill might counter your small losses. It really depends on the user attitudes. Rudolf On Wednesday, September 19, 2012 12:54:35 AM UTC+2, Nathan wrote: Let's be civil here. No one has proposed annoying the hell out of your users. If you do, the users will uninstall you long before they make any sort of opt out decision. I can agree with several people here. Fran and William are right about the math. John's approach does not bring him more revenue, and likely reduces it by a small amount. CTR and eCPM are vanity metrics. Nonetheless, John's approach is reasonable if it is worthwhile to give up a miniscule amount of revenue, in exchange for increased goodwill and decreased support costs. I've been known to give a few refunds that were entirely undeserved, just because I have better things to do than argue with customers. But William's approach also makes sense. Let's not use words like blackmail and hostage. You are offering something of value, ad free use of your app. In a free market, the user can accept the offer and pay, decide that the ads aren't really that bad and decline, or even decide to uninstall your app. No hostages, no blackmail. Certainly there are other offers you could make to your users, alone or in combination. Since there is a way to opt out of ads, albeit a paid one, reasonable people are less likely to complain. UNreasonable people, well, they might still do that . . . I am not using ads for a revenue source in anything right now. Personally, I wouldn't take John's approach for the simple reason that I'd never get around to implementing it. I have several hundred things on a list that I could do to make things better for my customers: features, usability, content, etc. I think it fair to prioritize such requests above those things that would make life easier for the people who are unwilling to pay, neither through accepting ads nor making a purchase. That puts it at the bottom of the list which means I will get to it approximately. . . never. I'm not in business to please everyone. Don't get me wrong - I want those who do purchase and use my products to have a great experience. But you could release an app with no monetization whatsoever and it would still get complaints.

Also, I would think *myBitmap.getRowBytes() * myBitmap.getHeight()* should
work.
This is the Android source ( 4.1.1_r1 ):
*874 public final int getByteCount() {*
*875 // int result permits bitmaps up to 46,340 x 46,340*
*876 return getRowBytes() * getHeight();*
*877 }*
You could probably use Reflection and get the size of the byte array if you
really need to, which I doubt.

You can use the following instead: myBitmap.getRowBytes() *
myBitmap.getHeight()
Both methods available in API Level 1 already. And this is exactly what
getByteCound() does internally.

Do you know if OnPreviewFrame (as of Android 4.0.3) is correctly implemented in Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

Re: [android-developers] Re: android.app.Application NullPointerException
So just to clarify: the advantage of using a Singleton object will be that if the app is killed, the Singleton object can just be recreated when it is needed. So you could use a Singleton object in the Application class to assure that it will be initialised when it is needed and the Singleton object is still global?

I'm guessing because it's idle long enough and Android feels like killing it. If you're leaving your app alone over night, likely your phone is going to sleep, pausing your app. Left in this state long enough, it's not surprising that it would be killed eventually. You are correct, if it gets restarted on the main window then i am not refilling my application data. I only fill it on the login window. Do I misunderstand how application data is supposed to work? Perhaps. As Dianne usually advises, you should scrap the Application idea and use a lazy-loading Singleton object to store your global / app-wide / static data as necessary. what's the point of it if the JVM can kill my app at any time and not store the application object? Well, I guess the point is to have the notion of an object that represents your app as a whole. But it's not the system's job to store and restore it's state - that's your job.

[android-developers] Re: how to inject non-english characters
Hi Hardy,
Did you ever find a solution for this? I also have a signed app with
INJECT_EVENTS permissions, and I want to be able to send any character
(English or otherwise) on to various EditText fields, based on external
input.
On Tuesday, May 29, 2012 3:06:43 AM UTC-5, Hardy Kahl wrote:
I am programming on a remote control app. One of the tasks I am facing
is injecting characters. The code I am currently using looks like
this:
Instrumentation instr = new Instrumentation();
String str=a;
// basically the same like calling instr.sendStringSync(str);
char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
KeyCharacterMap keyCharacterMap =
KeyCharacterMap.load(KeyCharacterMap.VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD);
KeyEvent[] keyEvents = m_KeyCharacterMap.getEvents(chars);
if (keyEvents != null) {
for (KeyEvent kev : keyEvents) {
instr.sendKeySync(kev);
}
}
That works perfectly on english characters (The characters show up in
EditText boxes). However, if I am trying to inject e.g. korean
characters, this fails. The function getEvents returns null, even when
I have configured korean language and keyboard.
I know there is another mehtod for injecting strings directly:
KeyEvent event = new KeyEvent(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), str, 0, 0);
instr.sendKeySync(event);
This is not working either - no characters shown in EditText boxes,
and onKeyMultiple() is not called either in my test activity.
This is strange since dispatchKeyEvent() with the same event works in
my test activity:
KeyEvent event = new KeyEvent(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), str, 0, 0);
dispatchKeyEvent(event);
I believe injecting the string directly is the correct way. However,
using instrumentation it looks like the event is discarded somewhere
in Android.
The reason why I am not using dispatchKeyEvent is that I have to
inject events no matter which activity is in front, even it is not my
own activity. I think that is not possible using dispatchKeyEvent, is
it?
Using Instrumentation this is possible. At least with english
characters. (My app is signed with the platform key and I've got the
permission INJECT_EVENTS).
How am I supposed to inject non-english characters? Any ideas? I ran
out of ideas :(
Best Regards,
Hardy Kahl

[android-developers] Offline Maps Won't Calculate Route Without a Data Connection
Last weekend I planned a two hour driving trip away, where I knew that from the departure point A for one hour's driving DID HAVE mobile network access coverage, and that from the one hour driving point to the destination point B DID NOT HAVE mobile network coverage. In my testing preparation for the trip I offline loaded the three map sections that would cover the entire two hour drive, and before departing or requesting the route calculation, I turned off ALL data connection on my Samsung Galaxy S3, with Android version 4.0.4, so as to simulate what Google maps would do with offline maps and no data connection. First problem: 1. Google Maps would not calculate the route, issuing a message saying that it could not do so without a Data Connection. 2. Remedy - I turned on data connection, allowed for the calculation of the route, and then turned off data connection 3. Result - the Google Maps application correctly tracked the entire two hour trip, with relatively few display faults, also maintaining all driving prompts. This proved that the application would continue tracking using the GPS signal alone, plotted against offline maps. Some of the display issues were observed where it seemed that any turn of 90 degrees or more, would cause the application to lose the satellite imaging to be lost, until we were re-established back on a straight section of road. Second MAJOR problem: 1. Taking First problem above into account. Upon returning home, therefore wanting to track from destination point B to the point of origin A, the application with a strong GPS signal but no mobile network, would not calculate the route home. 2. We left the application running waiting to see what happened when we reached the one hour driving point, from which point we knew there would be mobile network coverage for the balaance of the trip home, and the application never recovered from the error message No Data Connection. 3. Remedy - we could only recover by stopping the application, restarting it, and then with a data connection requesting routing of the balance of the trip home. Warning to Users: Until Google looks at fixing this situation, users should be wary that if they currently use offline maps to travel to areas where this is weak or no data connection, that once they find themselves in an area with no data connection, the application WILL NOT help you get anywhere else without you firstly finding a data connection, despite you having taken the precaution of loading offline maps to your Android. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Send long extra when starting an Activity from monkeyrunner or adb shell.
Hello!
I want to start an Activity, using monkeyrunner or adb shell, that reads
some extra values from the Intent. When trying to get a long value a
ClassCastException is shown in log, and the default value is returned:
* java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer cannot be cast to
java.lang.Long
at android.os.Bundle.getLong(Bundle.java:973)
at android.content.Intent.getLongExtra(Intent.java:4063)*
I'm reading the extra this way:
* getIntent().getLongExtra(id, 0);*
From Monkeyrunner script I tried to start the Activity using {id: 100} or
{id: 100L} as extras. The latter doesn't even send the extras to the
Activity.
Then I tried starting it from adb shell by myself, but I had the same
result. Also there's no specific option to add a long extra, only -ei is
available.
So, Is it possible to send a long extra value from these tools?
Thanks!
Pablo

Probably because most devices do have hardware volume buttons. The percentage of devices that do not is probably too small to justify the effort of adding this in.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to generate bitmap for a view and make the bitmap exactly equals to the view's display?
I suspect your penguin image is too large. I see that the penguin image comes with Windows and is 1024x768. Perhaps the problem relates to the downscaling of this image?

[android-developers] My Google Play app was suspended, any advice ?
Hi, I've made an app called GalaxSim Unlock to sim unlock Samsung Galaxy devices and I published it on the Play Store last week. Today I received an email saying that it's been suspended because of : Violation of the Content Policy http://www.android.com/us/developer-content-policy.html.. I asked for detailed information, but I've got no answer so far (and unfortunately, a friend of mine in the same situation never got answers to his multiple requests, so I'm not counting on it too much)(fortunately, this friend has been helped by a Googler here, so keep my fingers crossed). As far as I can tell, sim unlocking is not illegal (and many free or paid sim unlocking apps can be found on the play store, some of them being more that 2 years old, with more the 100k dl). So I believe it's not been suspended because of the purpose of this app. Now the only things I see are : *- Intellectual Property* : I've packaged in my app a version of the tar binary so that the user can make a backup of its personal data. Many Busybox apps on the market do the same, so again it shouldn't be a problem. Or is it ? - *Personal and Confidential Information* : I'm using Google Analytics to get stats (so that I know if there was an issue during execution and update the supported devices list). I NEVER log personal information like IMEI to my stats. Only phone model, firmware/rom version and execution success of the procedure. Is that because I don't ask the user choice to log to analytics ? I suppose the suspend is due to my second guess. So I'm gonna add a popup at first launch to let the user opt-out. Now I'm facing two problems. *First one:* I don't like the idea of trying to guess what was wrong, correcting something and app being suspended again because I didn't correct the right thing (or worse, account being banned). So I would be grateful if anyone could help me understanding what is the problem so that I can correct it as soon as possible. *Second one:* If I manage to understand why and fix the policy infringment, there's another remaining problem : it seems that a suspended app can't be reupped, and that I'll have to change its package name (meaning losing all feedback and rating so far : 4.4/5). That's annoying but I can live with it if there's no other choice. But something else is more problematic : I used in-app payment for unlocking phones (the app was free on the market so that people could first check that their phone could be unlocked before paying. That, and some functions are totally free). If I change the package name, how could I keep track of old in-app payments so that if I make an update, registered users won't have to pay again ? On a side note, I'm really disappointed by the lack of details related to app suspension : I mean, if I knew that anything in my app violated the play store policy, I wouldn't have published it at first. And now, although I show goot faith, the only thing I can do is try to guess what the problem is... Thanks to anyone who can help me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

There's no simple math here as Rudolf explained. I don't deny that. But who cares about CPM? If you have the same amount of C's and less M, the R has not increased, in all likelihood. But forget the revenue. OK. Cause the math wasn't going your way anyway. What is the point of an app anyway? It's providing a useful bit of software that improves the usability of the device to the user. Another words, a great user experience. My point is that by letting users opt out of ads for free, they get a better user experience and the device itself becomes more useful. If the point of your app isn't to do this, then for sure, free opt out isn't for you. Then according to the contrapositive, if you don't let users opt out of ads for free, then you must not care about providing a great user experience, huh? What do they care about instead? You are beginning to sound like a politician. I appreciate your perspective and the tip, but lets not act like anyone who doesn't do it your way is against providing a good user experience. An app which does not provide a good user experience even *with* monetization is in trouble. You are essentially asking b0b and William to give away the full version of their app for free. Maybe not everyone can do it your way - no need to demonize them. I don't have ads in my app, so my user experience is guaranteed to be good, right? No, I have plenty to work on. Then again, people pay for the app, which you might consider hostage or blackmail. And I do have one ad in my demo app that points them to the paid one. I have no intention of disabling it. But that's only if you think ads are the only factor in the user experience. I'm sure you are spending even more time thinking about making the experience better for the 97.5%, though. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of issues that are more important to your users than ads.

Re: [android-developers] Nexus 7 has no menu button?
Many Android devices do not have a MENU button. Most tablets do not have a MENU button. The Galaxy Nexus does not have a MENU button. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/say-goodbye-to-menu-button.html If you are using standard options menus and you are showing the action bar, then they will continue to work (the action bar will have a ... button for devices that lack a MENU button to access your menu). Or, if you are using standard options menus and your targetSdkVersion is set to 10 or lower, the user can get at your menu (e.g., via a menu button in the system bar on tablets). If, on the other hand, you used the MENU button for other purposes, or are not showing the action bar with a targetSdkVersion of 11 or higher, that would explain some of your difficulty.

[android-developers] Re: Nexus 7 has no menu button?
Right, so since it targets a very old SDK, you're saying they should be able to simply access the menus through an option in the system bar. In other words, these people don't know how to use their tablets; their problem has nothing to do with my app being incompatible with their device, or even necessarily that my app is poorly designed. They just don't know how to find the menu button on their own device, right? I'm just verifying, that's what you're saying right? I mean, I don't need to change anything about my app to make it work properly, they just need to use the system bar to access the menus and they haven't learned that trick yet.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Nexus 7 has no menu button?
Well, that's fair. I'm not denying the the current release is a little old and targets older SDKs. The app could certainly benefit from some sprucing up. However, I wanted to verify whether the app *should* essentially work on modern hardware given that some users were emailing me saying they didn't know how to access the menus. There's a big difference between saying I ought to update my app when I get a chance to keep things smooth and modern and saying the app is effectively broken on modern hardware and won't work until I release an emergency patch to get it going again.

I *think* this discussion has cleared it up, and I *think* my app should be working on modern devices, albeit through an OS sidedoor meant as a temporary fix until older apps are updated.

I'll have to try to find a Nexus to test it on myself to be absolutely certain of the circumstances. Thanks again.
