Hi there,

I've just received an email from Google stating:

*REASON FOR WARNING*: Violation of the intellectual 
propertyhttp://www.android.com/us/developer-content-policy.html#IP
 and impersonation or deceptive 
behaviorhttp://www.android.com/us/developer-content-policy.html#impersonation 
provisions 
of the Content Policy. 

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could look at my app's description and 
let me know what they think are the violations..? I'm more than happy to 
fix and correct any problems, but I've read all the linked documents and I 
simply can't work out what's wrong. I think I need a second pair of eyes.

Any and all comments gratefully appreciated!

I'd like to contact one of the local Google Developer Advocates to get 
their advice, but I can't see any email links to them. Does anyone know how 
to contact them other than via their twitter/blogs/etc..?

Thanks.

Do I just need to add something like:

This app is not affiliated with Google or Google Chrome, nor endorsed by 
Google.

Thanks! So you think it's just the logo and the colour scheme looks too 
similar to Chrome..?

Reading that link, do you think the use of Chrome in the app name is also 
what they dislike? It does say If your product is compatible with a Google 
product, make reference to that Google product by using the text for, 
for use with, or compatible with, and be sure to include the ™ symbol 
with the Google trademark. Example: for Google Chrome™...so maybe they 
are suggesting the app is renamed to something like Bookmarks for Google 
Chrome™..?

[android-developers] Re: 7-Day Notification of Google Play Developer Term Violation

Yeah, I'm having to guess that's the issue in my case. I've got some backup 
icons that look nothing like Chrome and I guess the app will be renamed to 
something like Bookmarks for Google Chrome.

I do have to say that I'm annoyed that Google's violation email was so 
vague. They state there is a violation of policy and to read the policy 
document, but the policy documents are just as vague (to me!). I'm quite 
sure the majority of Android developers here are hobbyists or people with 
no real skills in reading legal documents. I just think Google could have 
given a couple of bullet points in the email to indicate what was exactly 
the issue - someone somewhere flagged my app up for one or more specific 
reasons so why can't those reasons have been copied into the mail..? 
Instead, they just gave me the rough areas in error and I have to deduce 
all the problems.

Since Google doesn't allow communication on this subject, I've got 7 days 
to make changes that I think are the problem. There may be other changes 
Google wants that no-one else has spotted yet and I'll get suspended even 
though I'm trying my very best to correct the issues!

But don't get me started, again, on the inability for us to speak to or 
email a real person for help with anything related to Google.. :-)

 I think the issue is you cannot use other people's content without 
 crediting them.  You can't create a news aggregrator that pulls in content 
 from sites, but doesn't have a link back to the content. 

 You also can't create an app that looks similar to another 
 app/trademark/company.  The problem with the OP is his app has the word 
 Chrome in it and uses the same colors as Google's Chrome.

 Long story short. You cannot make a quick buck off of other peoples work, 
 celebrity fame and so forth. 
 Any of your apps need to have 100% original content. Regardless of 
 whether you say unofficial or not affiliated. You simply cannot use 
 anyone's name or a company name or display any of their content from within 
 your app. Like others have mentioned, you may link to their site but it 
 cannot open in your application. 
 I'm sure you are saying to yourself, but what about all the other apps in 
 the market that do this. They will eventually be taken down as well.

 I have a website protected by dmca and would immediately file for 
 infringement if anyone displays my dubstep music, name or logos within 
 their app. 
 I'm not a lawyer but I've been there and done that. Now I use all 
 original content .

 If I were you then I would unpublish any questionable app if you have any 
 more like it. 
 If you get too many apps suspended then you will lose your account 
 indefinitely. 
 If making apps is something you would like to continue then try and find 
 some new ideas. 
 I know its hard but there is a lot of open source projects out there 
 which you can use for development as well as the entire aosp. 
 Just make sure you use Apache 2 projects. 
 If you use any gpl content at all then you need to make your app open 
 source under gpl as well or risk further violations. 

 I really hope this explains the situation enough for people and in more 
 layman terms so people understand.

Thanks all for your comments. I've managed to get hold of Reto on G+ and he 
very kindly gave me some helpful tips.

I'm not sure whether to follow the Chrome Webstore guidelines and go with 
...for Google Chrome or whether it's better to err on the side of caution 
and avoid any mention of it in the app name at all. I'm guessing that the 
people who enforce the Chrome webstore policies are not necessarily the 
ones that enforce the Play Store policies.

Of course, I could call it Bookmarks for Chromium based browsers, but I 
think that's (a) too long and (b) cheeky!

Re: [android-developers] Re: 7-Day Notification of Google Play Developer Term Violation

Actually, there's already an app on the Play Store called H Bookmarks so 
I don't want to get caught in another row over copying that name.

I'm thinking I might go for CMarks. It would be annoying to not have 
Chrome in the name as that would promote it higher up the search results. 
But I've got 6 days to do something and I think CMarks should be safe. 
Plus, if anyone asks, the C is for Chromium, honest!

Thanks again for all your valuable comments!

Re: [android-developers] Re: 7-Day Notification of Google Play Developer Term Violation

Oooh - this is going in a bad direction..

I think *everyone* on here has given me valuable comments and I appreciate 
all of them.

If anything more, this has further confirmed the general confusion and 
vagueness there still is over Google policies and how they apply. The 
recent policy changes may have introduced some welcome improvements 
regarding ads and impersonation, it's just the documentation to help us is 
still sparse and too legal-ese. Given that Google sent me a mail with the 
words violation, removal, termination in it, I think these are the 
sort of times that Google shouldn't be a face-less automaton and there 
should be a human being we can chat to/email - even if they are just a 
first line support.

 guidelines he shouldn't have to completely remove them...

 If he wants to do that to play it safe is up to him.  Especially since 
 the Play Store is horrible about providing helpful resources on stuff like 
 this and may decide to take his app down even though the name would 
 technically comply with all requirements.

[android-developers] SlidingDrawer backgrounds

2012-07-30 Thread Ken H

This may be a stupid question (I just started getting into SlidingDrawers), 
but I have some buttons at the bottom of my drawer in a LinearLayout, and I 
want to set the background area around the buttons to a solid color -- the 
draw slides over a map and I can see the map behind the buttons...I don't 
want to see the map behind the buttons.

I know this should be simple, but simple things elude me.

[android-developers] Battery drain using NmeaListner vs LocationListner

2012-07-23 Thread Srinath H S

Hi All,

For a particular application I am working on, I need to parse the raw NMEA 
data to figure out HDOP etc..

As there is no way to limit the NMEA messages to particular interval, 
Hence I am guessing using NMEA wont drain battery as much as using a 
LocationListner with minTime = 0 and minDist = 0.

Does anyone here have some insights ?

Re: [android-developers] Jelly Bean errors with LVL

2012-07-06 Thread H

Looking at the javadoc on Signature.verify(), it looks like it has fixed 
one bug and introduced another:

Indicates whether the given signature can be verified using the public key 
or a certificate of the signer. 
This Signature instance is reset to the state of its last initialization 
for verifying and thus can be used to 
 verify another signature of the same signer.

In 4.0 and below, the signature instance wasn't being reset correctly and 
was still valid and simply returned false if you tried to call verify() 
again. Now you have to update() it again before calling the verify() - 
otherwise you get a NullPointer. So I guess they have effectively fixed a 
previous bug and possibly caused a different bug.

I'll see if I can get a text app coded and raise it as a bug - it should 
throw something like a SecurityException instead.

[android-developers] Jelly Bean errors with LVL

2012-07-05 Thread H

Hi, been seeing some ACRA reports from users on Jelly Bean when my app runs 
the LVL code.

In the LicenseValidator.verify() method, I perform this twice:

sig.verify(Base64.decode(signature))

I do it once to check it returns true, and then I call it again to confirm 
it is still true (this gets around an anti-lvl check which forces the first 
check to be a hard coded true but isn't aware of the second check). But 
it appears the second check is now failing on Jelly Bean:

Caused by: java.security.SignatureException: java.lang.NullPointerException
at 
org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.OpenSSLSignature.engineVerify(OpenSSLSignature.java:244)
at java.security.Signature.verify(Signature.java:375)
at com.android.vending.licensing.c.a(SourceFile:135) -SECOND 
sig.verify(..) call.
... 5 more
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at 
org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.NativeCrypto.EVP_VerifyFinal(Native 
Method)
at 
org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.OpenSSLSignature.engineVerify(OpenSSLSignature.java:240)
... 7 more 

Does anyone know if the implementation of Signature or the underlying 
classes has changed..? I'm guessing that since the first check works and 
the second fails, can you now only perform one verify() on a signature and 
after that, the object is no longer valid to be verified again()..?

after
that, the object is no longer valid to be verified again()..?

Yes, it has changed. In JB, the OpenSSL based provider has been
extended to support RSA
keys and RSA signatures (SHA1withRSA, etc.). Additionally, this is now
the default, so the
signature verification code that previously was using the Java crypto
provider (BouncyCastle)
is now calling the native one (Cf. NativeCrypto.EVP_VerifyFinal --
that's a wrapper for an
OpenSSL function). This has presumably done for better performance,
but there seem to be
a few bugs, I've been getting crashes here and there too. Changing

Signature.getInstance(SHA1withRSA) to
Signature.getInstance(SHA1withRSA, BC)

should make it work as before, but do some testing to be sure.

[android-developers] Re: AccountManager undocumented exception returns unknown authTokenType

2012-06-29 Thread H

No, never found a solution. I think Google restrict access to certain
services from only Google licensed devices. So devices which don't
*officially* have access to the Market seems to be the ones that can't
access certain services. They can access some, such as gmail and gcal, but
not all. Requests for auth tokens via the AccountManager calls the gsf and
likely therefore sends the device's model back with the request so Big G
can know if they would be a licensed device or not trying to access Google
services.

The only solution in my app was to use OAuth2 explicitly and since that's
via a different method, it seems to work nicely.

HTH.

Hi,

I'm calling the AccountManager like this:

The Account being passed in is a Google account (type=com.google).

This works perfectly well for thousands of users of my app. But a handful
of times each day, some users are getting this error

This isn't an exception that the javadoc says comes from this method!

I think this is coming from the
AbstractAccountAuthenticator.getAuthTokenLabel(IAccountAuthenticatorResponse,

String) who in turn catches this exception from the concrete
authenticator's getAuthTokenLabel(String) method. I've decompiled the gsf
and looked in this method, but can't see any throw of
an IllegalArgumentException in there. All it really does is call the
PackageManager.getPermissionInfo() and retrieve attributes of the
PermissionInfo returned.

Looking at the details for the reports, I *think* these reports are only
coming from non google devices - for example the reported models include
MID-7AS, XT800, EFREN II, etc. I don't see any mentions of nice devices
like Desire or Nexus, etc.

At first I thought this was just people forcing my app onto a non gapps
device, but the fact that they have a Google account on the device which
can be happily enumerated and retrieved using the standard api (i.e.
type-com.google) makes me think they at least have the full google services
framework otherwise they wouldn't have the GoogleLoginService.

So does anyone know exactly what this error thinks is missing..? Is there
any way to spot this before trying the call?

[android-developers] Re: Demo/Full Game options on Google Play

2012-04-14 Thread H

The best way at the moment to beat the crackers it to use native code
to do things like checking the signature matches an expected hash. You
have to do other fancy stuff like encrypting some of that to further
hide the logic. But don't be under any illusion - native code is
tougher than java and requires a lot more time to get it right. You
also need to plumb it into lots of places in your app and make it
something essential otherwise it's just as easy for a hacker to stub
it out quickly.

Unfortuntely there's a new app in town called LuckyPatcher. I haven't
looked at it in any detail, but I think it patches the dalvik cache so
the app still has the same signature according to the packagemanager,
but different code is executed including a few crafty return true
statements stuck in certain places in your app. But I think they still
have to use similar logic to antilvl to patch your app in the first
place.

I'd suggest you make your lvl code a lot more tricker to subvert -
antilvl uses scripts and easy to see logic. If you do something
different, the scripts backfire and someone has to manually read all
the smali wich takes a lot of time and is easy to miss some crafty
code. So add dummy parameters in most of the methods in the lvl so the
signatures don't match. Add extra logic to some of the important
methods so you can easily spot if the whole method isn't executed.
Change the spelling of some of the enums by adding an extra charcter
here or there. It all makes things a lot harder. Ensure you use
proguard!

obfuscate your strings properly. šPoint a) would be hard to achieve in

[android-developers] Is there a realistic way to determine whether a device has the guts to run a heavy operation?

2012-04-12 Thread Rob H

Hi everyone,

Has anyone come up with a feasible way to determine whether the device your 
app is running on is a low end, or older model phone versus one of the news 
super computer phones out there or a high end tablet in terms of CPU 
processing speed?  I realize that this line between slow and fast devices 
is subjective, but surely this is something other developers are frequently 
running into when they want to offer advanced functionality to modern / 
high powered devices, versus keeping it simple for low end devices?

I would appreciate any advice on approaches that anyone can offer.

Thanks,

Rob

This might be something incredibly easy but i have no clue how to
accomplish this.

Right now i have code enough to make a simple main menu using standard
buttons and a button listener.  From what i can tell I have the code
that should open up a new activity but when i run it and click the
button nothing shows up.  Here is the code

  @Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

public void startEvents()
{
Button button3 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);

button3.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View arg0) {
//Starting a new Intent
Intent nextScreen = new
Intent(NACURH2013Activity.this, EventsActivity.class);
startActivity(nextScreen);
}
});

i think so when editing the .xml file i right click on the button and say 
Edit ID... and both of them have the same id (button3) so i thought that 
should make it that the button listener worked for the buttons but i think 
it has a different hex address which causes it to crash

[android-developers] Cannot get TTS to work

2012-03-01 Thread Ken H

I've tested the APIDemo TestToSpeech example code on my phone (Galaxy
S2) and it works fine, but when I take the *same code* and paste it
into my app the TTS fails. I see an error in the LogCat saying
intTts() failed to bind to service.

I suspect the problem is in the line:

mTts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);

because this is the intitialization line, and the status I see
returned in the onInit() is always -1. I'm initializing WiFi, gps, the
phonestatelistener, among other things in this app. Is there a
sequence I need to follow? Should I start TTS before/after something?

What is the second arguement in the TestToSpeech() arguement really?
The documentation says it's OnInitListener that gets call after
initialization, but that just confuses me further (I'm using this
for both parts). I'm completely stumped.

Fixed it.

FYI ~ I moved the whole TTS process from my activity to a class by
itself (other activities are going to be using it anyway), but then,
instead of using this for the first parameter of the TextToSpeech()
function, I used getApplicationContext(). I also initialized mTts
after initializing all my sensors and gps and stuff.

[android-developers] Re: first time developer

2012-01-30 Thread Ken H

Read Professional Android 2 Application Development to understand
Android (if you know Java you have 70% of it already). Get your feet
wet with something simple. My first Android program was basically a
reference app. Nothing fancy, didn't use anything on the internet or
graphics or anything. But it got me use to working with activities and
such.

While Kristopher was a little dickish in his response (it's not off
topic) he is basically right. Again, get your feet, start simple,
build on your experience.

[android-developers] Re: Can't update browser bookmarks

2012-01-20 Thread H

The browser uri changed from Honeycomb onwards. It still responds to
Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI (content://browser/...) for legacy, but it
realistically uses the new BrowserContract.AUTHORITY_URI (content://
com.android.browser/...) to access the correct database.

There's code in the Honeycomb+ BrowserProvider that still handles the
old uri, but the browser itself primarily gets it's data from the new
database using BrowserProvider2 and the new uri. It's frustrating, but
you have to simply check the sdk level and from honeycomb plus, use
the new uri and the new fields (see the hidden
android.provider.BrowserContract for a list of them) but if the device
is not yet Honeycomb then you use the original uri and fields.

HTH.

  I have come across an awkward issue, and I would very much appreciate

  I have an app which among other things allows users to edit bookmarks

  ContentResolver.query, .insert, .delete, and .update methods, with the
  URI Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI.

  It all works well under Android 2, but on Androids 3 and 4 the .update
  command does not appear to work. I have tried everything I can think
  of, and just cannot make it work.

  To repeat this issue yourself in under one minute, create a new app
  with an Activity named BookmarkTestingActivity and paste in the

  the Manifest:
      uses-permission
  android:name=com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS/
      uses-permission
  android:name=com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS/

  This source simply inserts a new bookmark with title Test and url
  http://test.com;, attempts to update the url to http://
  updated.test.com, then Logs the url after that attempted change.

  In Android 2, the url correctly changes to http://updated.test.com;
  but in Androids 3 and 4 it remains at http://test.com;. The same
  thing happens when I try updating other fields or using different
  select variables etc.

  I'm testing with the latest SDK in Eclipse, on Android 2.3.3, Android
  3.1, and Android 4.0.3.

  I can work around the problem of course by doing a delete then another

[android-developers] Re: Anyone ever used androidpit's lvl mechanism? Is it trustworthy?

2012-01-11 Thread H

I've been with androidpit for a good few months now. I don't have any
problems or issues with them so far - they seem to have thought things
through quite well and produced (imho) a decent competitor.

1. As Kostya mentioned above, they track the Market and mail you
within an hour if you haven't uploaded to androidpitas well.
2. They allow PayPal which I get regularly asked for.
3. They work in all/many more countries which is also good.
4. They respond to emails quite promptly and helpfully. There may be a
hint of a language barrier (the website appears to run from Germany),
but nothing that would get in the way.
5. Their lvl wraps nicely around the google lvl so I simply have one
paid app with both lvl's included and check market first then
androidpit. (And my free app allows the user to click to upgrade and
opens the market:// link if it works or the appcenter:// link for the
androidpit market instead).
6. If you use the same package name as the one on the Market then
everything just comes together. In the androidpit market client you
then get all the Market description pulled over (so you just need to
maintain it in one place) as well as access to all the Market
comments.
7. For users that already have your app on their device, as soon as
they install the androidpit market then it starts to track and notify
them if there are updates, in the same way as the market client. I
haven't jumped into the amazon pond yet as I've had previous issues
with them, so I'm advising Kindle fire users to simply install the
androidpit market and get my app from there.
8. In the purchase history, you can see the full name of each person
and send them a mail (via androidpit so their email is not divulged).
This was useful when I first got up and running with androidpit so I
let the first handful of people know this was all new and to get back
to me if there were any problems. There weren't anyway. I know the
Android Market allows you something similar via checkout, but this
just seems better and less clunky.
9. As mentioned, you can put your free apps on androidpit as well -
I'm seeing 295 downloads in less than a week since I added my free
app. I'm assuming this is an additional userbase that don't have
access to the official Android Market...?
10. Following on, the androidpit does allow me to get my paid app onto
non-Google-licensed devices such as the Folio, Rockchip tablets, etc.
11. An updated app on their website seems to take effect immediately.
I've had mails from users who have had the Android Market tell them
there was an upgrade, but when they clicked on it to upgrade it said
it was still the old version and took an hour or so before they could
download the upgrade properly.
12. Their Market client isn't as overly graphicy and bloaty as the
Android Market. This may or may not be a good thing, but personally I
like a Market that zips along and isn't busy downloading hundreds of
images for film and book adverts that I will never, ever, click
on.. :-)

On the downside:

1. They will only credit you if you move more then a certain amount
per month - something like $20. Anything less gets carried over to the
next month. May be an issue if you have a low usage app...?
2. If you use PayPal then for some people (I don't know if it's new
accounts, or something to do with user age or location), Paypal will
charge a minimum of $5 and leave the rest as a credit on the user's
PayPal account. I don't believe this is an issue with androidpit, just
an issue to be aware of due to the use of Paypal.
3. Their statistics are not as colourful or pie-chart-able as the
Market ones - just raw numbers of downloads/purchases. Would be nice
to have versions/device models/etc. Though you could possibly scrape
that info by linking through to each user's profile page on androidpit
which lists their current device.
4. The Market comments in their appcenter/website do sometimes trail
behind by more than several days.

So personally, I'm happy with them. YMMV. HTH.

[android-developers] Re: ICS and getAuthToken() problem - using Google APIs

2012-01-03 Thread H

If you set the callback parameter on the getAuthToken() to null then
the method will block and wait and your activity's lifecycle isn't
interrupted. You can then get the bundle returned and if there is an
intent to ask show the grant credentials screen then you can manually
invoke it with startActivity or the other startActivityForResult.

I've just tried it on my app in the 4.0 emulator and if I disallow the
credentials screen (=no thanks), nothing unexpected happens (other
than a crap load of strictmode exceptions).

HTH.

On Jan 2, 8:09 pm, Spiral123 cumis...@gmail.com wrote:
 it gets stranger.

 In Honeycomb and earlier the app fires off the getAuthToken() request
 on another thread and then goes into onPause() whilst it waits for the
 authentication to happen asynchronously.

 In Ice Cream Sandwich the app goes into onPause(), then onStop() then
 onDestroy().  Then the app fires up an onCreate() again and launches a
 second authentication thread before the first has completed.

 I guess the lifecycle does stipulate that the activity should always
 be prepared to recreate itself cleanly in case the system destroys it
 - maybe ICS is more aggressive in doing that than previous versions of
 Android...any comments or experiences from anyone else?

 Also, I suppose I now need to look at SingleThreadExecutor to block
 unwanted additional auth requests being generated from the activity.
 Does anyone have any better ideas?

 all the best,

 Nick

  Hi all

  Whilst doing so, I've come across a problem that has me stumped: if I
  call getAuthToken() in my app to authenticate a new account to my

  fine.  If I disallow or hit the back key from the 'Permission request'
  dialog then the app goes into a tailspin and eventually fails with a

  I spent a couple of hours looking at this and as far as I can tell ICS
  does not seem to be throwing the OperationCanceledException from the

  To verify the problem I've downloaded and replicated the issue with
  the Android Picasa Sample and the google-meeting-scheduler.  The

  Has anyone else seen a similar behavior - or can anyone confirm that

[android-developers] Re: Slow scrolling in Date/TimePicker using Holo theme

2011-12-16 Thread Matt H

Hi Dirk,

I had the same problem (noticed it yesterday, too, coincidentally!).
The issue is that the ScrollView is intercepting and stealing the
touch events once your finger moves outside of the Date/Time Picker
controls.

To work around this, I created sub classes of Date/TimePicker which
prevent the parent from stealing events after the initial touch down
(see below). If you use those in your layout XML instead, you should
find the problem goes away.

Hope that is useful!

Matt.


import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.ViewParent;
import android.widget.DatePicker;

public class CustomDatePicker extends DatePicker
{
public CustomDatePicker(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int
defStyle)
{
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}

public CustomDatePicker(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
{
super(context, attrs);
}

public CustomDatePicker(Context context)
{
super(context);
}

@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)
{
/* Prevent parent controls from stealing our events once we've
gotten a touch down */
if (ev.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
ViewParent p = getParent();
if (p != null)
p.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
}

return false;
}
}

A quick bit of research suggests that either my certificate is expired
or the API key I am using is plain wrong. However...
- When exporting the application I am told that my certificate expires
some time in 2061.
- I've tried requesting the API key again to check that I have the
right key - I do.
- I've not made any mistakes pasting the API Key into my layout files.

To complete the picture:
- Development platform is OS X Lion, Eclipse 3.7.1 and SDK 15.
- The target API level is 7 (2.1)
- My phone (a Nexus One) is running Android 2.3.6.

Any suggestions much appreciated...

[android-developers] Sudden rash of license check failures in LVL. Anyone else?

2011-11-01 Thread Ben H

i have an app in the android market that uses the LVL. it's bone stock
- not modified from the original source. yeah yeah, you're supposed to
alter it, but the LVL cracking apps out there are so good now that
it's pointless to try to fool them, IMO. not pointless, just not worth
the effort, IMO. i'm just trying to keep honest people honest.

anyway, over the past few days, i'm suddenly getting a rash of
complaints from users that the license check is failing in my app. one
user sent me some logcat output that included this:

11-01 12:15:46.192 I/LicenseChecker( 1102): Check timed out.

nothing has changed in my app. i'm wondering if there's something
wrong with the license servers. is anyone else experiencing this
problem?

 I had one user report a problem, but then again, in my app I don't
 fail the license check if unless it is not successful for long periods
 of time (days).

that's interesting. so that means that the license check was failing
for many days before your app finally notified the user?

[android-developers] Re: Fwd: Want to send cookie with Json RPC

 If yes How?

yes, you can. create an instance of org.apache.http.cookie.Cookie, and
add it to an instance of
org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicCookieStore.BasicCookieStore, then
add that to your BasicHttpContext. then it goes something like this:

AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance(USER_AGENT);

BasicHttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext();
httpContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, mCookieStore);

HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = client.execute(request, httpContext);

[android-developers] ADT r14 - Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

since updating ADT to r14, i've been plagued by the bug described here

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20398

and here

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7823312/problems-building-with-adt-r14

i was surprised that i couldn't find a thread about this bug in this
group. i'm hoping someone here has some insight. i've tried all the
solutions offered so far, and none of them work for me.

my comment from the bug report: i'm having this problem too. my app
only references one library - my LVL library. i have tried removing
the reference, cleaning .classpath, and .project, and removing
references to source folders. i've cleaned the project, opened and
closed it, and waved a dead chicken over my keyboard. nothing has
worked. please help!

my console output with stack trace:

[android-developers] Android repository missing platform packages? Help!

i recently reinstalled the android sdk because of this infuriating
build bug in r14. when i open the android sdk manager, i do not see
any platform packages available. i installed r12 of the sdk tools, and
i see the r14 package available, but nothing else. where's all the
platform packages, docs, etc.? see this screenshot of the sdk manager:

http://i.imgur.com/uyBAE.png

if you look at the android repository.xml, it also only has the
platform tools packages.

http://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

shouldn't it have everything, not just the tools packages? is there
another url that i need to add for the platform packages? thanks.

thanks, xavier, but i tried that and it didn't work for me.

i'm trying to reinstall the entire sdk because of this problem, but am now 
encountering problems downloading the platform packages. they seem to be 
missing from the android repository. shouldn't there be more listed here 
than just the sdk tools?

[android-developers] Re: Android repository missing platform packages? Help!

Hmm so does that mean that anything prior to r14 is unsupported? That
would be extremely disappointing. I can't use r14 right now because of
the build bug. None of the available fixes work for me. I'm completely
dead in the water here.

That's a major problem for me. I need to release an update to my
Android app right now, and I'm stuck. I can't use r14, and I can't go
back to r12. Is there a place where I can download the platform
packages directly?
