[android-developers] Re: Saving layout file is very slow with Eclipse / ADT
I found this to be a problem in ADT 10. It's super slow to edit an XML file. It keeps rebuilding (to generate the new R) but it's painstakingly slow. I didn't have this issue until the recent upgrade. Makes it nearly unbearable to make any changes in the XML under eclipse. I had to edit it outside and refresh the xml portion so it will build only once.

[android-developers] Re: SDK 11 is the slowest yet
I bought the Xoom cuz I was unable to program and test my code effectively on the emulator. I wish we can get one for a discounted rate or one that's not tied to Verizon for developers. On Feb 24, 4:09 pm, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.com wrote: Nice though that fix would be, to date, there has been a reasonable workaround for the emulator slowness: launch once at the beginning of your work session and don't kill it. As long as the emulator can be set back to a last-known-good-state, such a workaround is livable. What is not livable is ADT failing to return from a Clean operation. And since I find it really, really hard to believe that the cause of this problem is just String's own cockpit error, I will not be loading the latest SDK because of that report. I am sure lots of other people will be having a similar reaction. Google has got to respond by either explaining what String did wrong, or fixing the problem in the latest SDK release.

[android-developers] Android Market Licensing intermittently fails
I included the Android Market licensing (LVL) in my application and is currently using it to block invalid users. However users are emailing me that they are legit and include proof that they indeed bought the application. In looking at the errors generated during authentication, I get something along the line of failed to reach server 505 error which basically means that the Android Market server isn't responding and authenticating the users correctly. In my personal experience when I encountered this once in my testing (I was hoping it was unique but it's not), I had to wait 30 mins before it finally worked. My phone was using wireless and clearly had no network issues. Ultimately the Android Market server is glitchy and faulty (which is nothing new) and was just not responding and authenticating for around 30 mins. This leads to an extremely crappy experience for my users. Other than dropping using this licensing scheme, I don't know what else to do. Android market connection is just too faulty for everyday usage. Do other developers have a better experience? Others using LVL at all?

The point is, and I know this is at the discretion of each developer, but if I only make a few hundred bucks over the course of a year, it hardly seems like it's worth while for the IRS to even follow up on.. but more so, if they don't know about it at all and google/marke/paypal/whoever do not send any info at all, then well.. how many developers actually pay taxes on this money? I suppose if you made a big app that made $10K, 50K etc or more, it might be more easily tracked. For example, you couldn't just get a google checkout check for $25K one month, put it in the bank and not raise suspicions I am guessing. I don't know what the bank limit is before the bank/IRS start asking questions if you deposit it into a bank, but if it's a small some of say a couple grand a month, well hell, I personally pay a crap load of taxes on everything these days, I don't mind not telling the IRS I made a little extra money to live on. Ideally I personally would set up a legit business and do it right but that is just me.

I am not trying to be overally critical since I know the Android team has been working hard and this is highly appreciated. However in all systems, there are rooms for improvement and here are a few areas where I think Android can improve upon: 1) UI refinements - Currently it's actually pretty hard to create good- looking UI in android. This is one of the main reasons why UIs in android look like childplay compared to IPhone apps. Any of the base/ core UI components in android (to be blunt) are not that pretty. To customize and add in the appropriate gradient and create the kind of sophisticated UIs that are comparable to Iphone apps is twice as hard. Having done development in both, this is something Android should target. Overall the android UI is too blocky, too funky, and not stylish. And in some cases, they are moving backwards. The new tabs in Android 2.0 look worse than Android 1.6. The new spinner is also not doing justice either. A focus in this area will be helpful in order to create better UI for android applications. 2) User Experience - Instead of constantly just adding new functionalities, focus on user experience. For example, always having to click the menu key to bring up a menu requires additional clicks that are not necessary. Having to click a back key and guess where the current application UI will take me back to is also not great. Possibly provide a built-in on-screen menu in the framework? Provide a breadcrumb component as part of the framework as well? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Could be better?!?!
I believe when the app is initially bought, it isn't charged until the 24 hours period is over. Once the refund period is over, then the opposing credit card is finally charged. During the refund period, you should not be given the burden of chargeback fees. If the user wants to charge back the credit after the refund period, he/she will need to go the the credit card company and do this, which is highly unlikely since it's only a $1. Java Developer wrote: HA! If I didn't laugh at this I would cry. An individual bought our second application today, a simple app which allows the user to Ping and search Whois information. It is called Pinger and cost $1.00. It was returned with the comment Could be better. Um, of course it could be better! You only paid $1.00!!! What did you expect? The app is fully functioning, error handling, etc and works as anyone familiar with Pings and Whois would expect. Do I understand the TOS correctly? The return of this $1.00 app is going to cost me the chargeback fees ($10) from the credit card company, is that correct? Unfortunately, in order to ensure this scenario doesn't happen again we have removed this app and then increased the price on our first application from $3.99 (which we thought was fair and was selling well) to $10.99 thus breaking the return barrier of the TOS.

[android-developers] Re: RingTone Picker in Rings Extend application
thanks. it's kinda strange that the RingTonePicker intent is placed in a totally different class. It's hard to find all of them this way. Is there a location that lists all of them? but ya now everything makes sense.

I don't see that intent anywhere in the released SDK documentation. http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/media/RingtoneManage... Is that a hidden intent? Am I completely misunderstanding this? Looking at the list of intents and the intent class, I don't see many intents to replace or add to core functionality of the phone. The Intent class only lists the generic Android platform intents. Subsystem- and application-specific intents are associated with those pieces of code.

[android-developers] Type and draw in the same view
Is it possible to type and draw (like finger paint) on the same view? Would I need to make my own view or does the sdk have an existing one I can possibly use for this?
