[android-developers] Re: Grey buttons when adding actions to a notification in Jelly Bean

2012-08-28 Thread Christer Nordvik

Seems this was a bug or a feature when targeting SDK level 8. Ah well, I
guess we have to change or target SDK and rewrite to actionbar soon anyway.

 If the default mail package doesn't exist, then I don't mind showing the

 The reason I want to do this is:
 I know I want to send an e-mail. I don't want the user to choose 
 'bluetooth'.
 Because I know I don't want to use the 'bluetooth'.

 I need to do at least this: the chooser should should only the e-mail

[android-developers] App taken down by fake DMCA, no response from Google

2011-12-01 Thread Christer Nordvik

Our app FotMob, 
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mobilefootie.wc2010, was taken 
down by a fake DMCA and has been down for 4 days. We have confirmation from 
the ones who apparently sent the DCMA that they never sent it and have 
forwarded this information to Google 2 days ago with no response. Does the 
Android Market team have a phonenumber where they can be reached? I 
attended Google Dev conference in London so I know where some of them sit, 
but I don't want to travel all the way to London to knock on their doors 
:-)

[android-developers] Re: App taken down by fake DMCA, no response from Google

2011-12-01 Thread Christer Nordvik

 You're obviously new around here. That made my day. Thanks.

I think our app was nr 48 in the appstore when it opened so not that
new :-) I've been to Google's offices so I know (contrary to common
belief) that there are actually human beings working with the Android
Market that can be spoken to and they were actually quite responsive
one-on-one. Big mistake to not get their phonenumbers though as
contacting them through Google+ doesn't give much response.

I really hope that someone from Google reads this and can ask the
market team to have a look. That a fake DMCA can take down our app
without Google taking any action really is beyond what I thought could
happen in the marketplace. And I have been through all the bugs with
missing apps, console deleting apps when uploading, apps getting
multiple app icons ++.

Thanks for this, I spent hours wasting my time on the docs with an Android

Hope someone can update the docs someday... it's been a while since Android 
2.2 was released...

[android-developers] Re: Actionbar.DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP causes activity to not call destroy, is this by design?

2011-06-05 Thread Christer Nordvik

That's what I get for coding at night. I had forgotten that I had

Intent and no finish call.

Sorry about that, and thanks for responding :-)

AFAIK, the top left icon has no effect, other than whatever effect you
apply yourself. Just marking it as up enabled does not cause Android
to somehow magically know how to handle that. Instead, you have to
override onOptionsItemSelected() and watch for android.R.id.home and
do something there.

For example, in one of my activities that uses
setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(), I have:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
finish();

return(true);
}

return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
}

In this case, the flow is much like yours -- up equates to back,
so I just finish() the current activity to make it happen.

If you are using startActivity() with FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT
to go home, that's not going to immediately destroy your original
activity, any more than any other startActivity() call does.

So... what are you doing in onOptionsItemSelected()?

[android-developers] Re: Amazon Appmarket is now open!

2011-03-23 Thread Christer Nordvik

How do all of you take into account:

- C2DM (push messaging only available on Android Market)
- House-ads via AdMob that links to apps in the Android Market
- In-app purchasing that is coming soon on the Android Market
- Links to additional content in Android Market from your app

Are you all having a lot of if(AmazonMarket) in your code? I am very
doubtful that all developers will go this route, but then again Amazon
Appstore probably only need the premium apps and not all the garbage
that is flooding the Android Market.

[android-developers] Re: How is your sales model changing with the introduction of Android 3.0 and tablets, or is it?

2011-03-18 Thread Christer Nordvik

I am thinking about #1 since you can always slap on a HD at the end
like Angry App HD and charge the users more. At least that's the
standard practice on iPad. But then you have to have some extra
features (or just better graphics) on the HD version of your app.

My main problem is that the Xoom doesn't give the tablet-only apps
any special treatment so it will probably be drowned in other apps and
doesn't take advantage of current rankings of your app.

 I am going with route #2, and I haven't had too many problems up till

 is that I cannot charge more for a Tablet version than I can for the
 phone version, even though the usuability can be much greater on the
 tablet version.

 Option #1 is not the best, as you pointed out, you cannot force the
 users to pay twice.  I can see forcing them to pay the difference in
 price if they upgrade to a tablet, but to make them buy the app all
 over is a huge no-no and you would end up with some very unhappy users
 -- and rightfully so.

 I think there needs to be a way to set price points based on the form
 factor of the device.  Hopefully, the Amazon market will have this
 feature.

  Now that I'm working on a tablet-centric version of my app, I'm considering
  how it will impact my existing application in the Market.  As far as I can
  see it, there are two ways this can go:

  1) Leave your existing app as-is in the Market.  Build a tablet version
  taking full advantage of Android 3.0, setting your minSdk to 11, using your
  existing code base (as applicable) as a library to share core code, and sell
  the apps independent of each other.  Here you'll need to manage two code
  bases, even if only the UI side which we all know varies greatly from app
  to app.  You're also requiring users to purchase twice effectively, assuming
  they want the app on both their phone and the tablet-centric version on
  their tablet.  I guess the phone version would still work on the tablet,
  just not optimized for it.

  2) Integrate fragments into your existing application and bundle in the
  tablet version along with the phone version.  You'll need to drop support
  for Android 1.5 for the compatibility library, work around API differences
  between the phone and tablet APIs at run-time, and handle your UI activities
  and views differently between platforms.  I'm not sure about that last part
  -- but it seems like with such a different UI concept behind 3.0 with the
  Action Bar and the general flow of an application can be so different, that
  you might need to break that apart.  Could be very wrong there however and
  would love for someone to show me otherwise.

  There are a few things at play here.  It's the battle on the technical side
  of dealing with different applications (package names, projects in Eclipse,
  apks, etc).  It's also bringing into question how you want to manage your
  app; whether you want to charge for a tablet-optimized version or include it
  with the phone app someone has already purchased.

  Depending on what I learn related to packaging tablet specific features to
  an existing phone app, I'm quite undecided on which way I'll go.  I suspect
  many of you have already been thinking about this very subject and I'm
  curious how you're planning to handle it.  Please do include more options as
  you see them.  How do the different API versions impact your thinking on the
  subject?

 The 3D carousel should be open sourced with the platform.

That's amazing news. I had hoped the source-code would be out already
since the Xoom has launched, but I guess it will be out in 1-2 weeks?
If the carousel is as good as it looks then it will work wonders for a

[android-developers] Renderscript, YouTube example

2011-02-23 Thread Christer Nordvik

I noticed that the Renderscript examples (http://developer.android.com/
resources/samples/Renderscript/index.html) just showed very basic
usage of Renderscript.

Would it be possible to have the source code for the YouTube
Renderscript screen where the videos are displayed? Or at least a
small article explaining how it was built and some code samples?

A lot of companies are building video-content apps that lists the
videos like YouTube so I believe an article surrounding this would
benefit a lot of developers. Not everybody needs to use Renderscript
but it definitively makes the app stand out from the crowd.
