[android-developers] Launching play store for specific product
Hi I'm trying to launch the Google/Android Play Story using an intent (com.android.vending). I would like Play store to display the page specific to an app. I've searched on ways to do this but could not find anything. I assume some parameters need to be added to the intent. I Know this can be done via the web browser but I cannot use the browser in this case. Thanks in advance for all you help.

Re: [android-developers] Launching play store for specific product
Hi Harri and thanks for the reply This is what I'm currently doing but this causes a dialog to pop-up asking if this action should be done using the browser or playstore. This is not acceptable in this situation. This is why I want to launch the com.android.vending activity directly.

[android-developers] Re: Live wallpaper. nullPointerException when detecting preview mode
Thanks for all your help. looks like the place to make this call is in: @Override public void onCreate(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) { } Beware: this is called once and only once in run mode what the wallpaper is launched and each time the wallpaper is viewed in preview mode. This got me a bit confused. I wish the documentation was a bit more mature.

[android-developers] Live wallpaper bitmap animation flickering
Hi I am doing a bitmap animation at 24fps. This is a 64 pixel bitmap of a filled circle with transparent borders. The animation is done using a Runnable and the drawBitMap() to draw the bitmaps on the canvas. The animation runs fine but it looks like in every second frame the transparent area shows the background image slightly darker. this causes some flickering in the transparent areas. Has anyone seen this before and/or has a solution to this problem. Any help is much appreciated.

[android-developers] Android WebView style background-color:transparent ignored on android 2.2
Hello, I'm struggling to create a WebView with transparent background. webView.setBackgroundColor(0x00FF); webView.setBackgroundDrawable(myDrawable); Then I load a html page with body style=background-color:transparent; ... The background color of the WebView is transparent but as soon as the page is loaded, it's overwritten by a black background from the html page. This only happens on android 2.2, it works on android 2.1. So is there something to add in the html page code to make it really transparent ? Or is it simply again another bug that nobody cares and that will never been addressed by the android team ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] TabActivity, selecting a new tab with animation
Hello, My application/game is based upon a TabActivity, each tab is an activity. At one time in the application you can click on a button to select another tab. It's not only a tab selection, we change also the view in the newly selected tab. That's why I would like to implement an animated transition when selecting the new tab. I need some help to find the direction I should go to implement this. Thx a lot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
