[android-developers] Re: Problems with the Market

2011-02-28 Thread Leszek Koltunski
If your Manifest is not one with bunch of uses-featues and stuff
(that could posibly be culprit of filtering), then you may just face
Market bug. Happens - use to it ;(

HTC Desire, connected thru WIFI in Taiwan - my app is there.
The very same phone, connected thru WIFI in India - my app is NOT there.
Users say on a Motorola Milestone connected thru WIFi in Brazil the app is
not there.

So it really is a Market bug and there's nothing I can do about it??

That's because your phone shows only comments in selected language,
while developer console shows them all.

10 out of those 11 comments are in English. So another Market bug? And why
did the one comment and rating ( it wasn't mine, mind you ) disappear?

That's really good joke :)

Hmm, so no support whatsoever? Even with such blatant bugs like those? I
also publish in Nokia's Ovi and Blackberry's AppWorld, I used to complain a
lot about Ovi, but now I see it's not so bad afterall. Profits are way
better there, too, even though it is supposed to be a 'declining' market.

[android-developers] Problems with the Market

2011-02-27 Thread Leszek Koltunski
Hello Android gurus,

I've got several questions/problems with the way my app is shown in the
Market.
Specifically:

- users tell me the app ( both free and paid versions ) is unavailable in
Brazil  ( 'all locations' is set so the app should be available everywhere,
no? )
- right now I happen to be in India and if I use the Market app in my phone,
both versions are also unavailable here. However, if I use the browser and
go to https://market.android.com, the app is there.
- if I go to my developer account in https://market.android.com/publish , I
can see that the free version has 11 comments.  However, If I view the app
from within the cellphone's Market App ( obviously doing it in a country
where it is available, in this case Taiwan ) I can only see the first 4
comments.
- the paid version fares even worse: it used to have 1 comment and one
rating, those were visible for some time, but now both have disappeared!
- if I view the apps from the browser ( again, thru https://market,
android.com ) both of them do not have any comments whatsoever, not even the
4 comments that are visible from the Market App.

What gives? This all looks like a big mess to me.  Anyone could point me to
any official Google support that I can ask about those issues?

best,

Leszek

[android-developers] figure out country in a device without SIM card

2011-02-15 Thread Leszek Koltunski
Hello Android gurus,

In my game I've got a 'global leaderboard' where people submit their high
scores and check how others are doing. There I display a little flag to show
where a particular player is from.
To figure that out, I use

public String getIso()
{
TelephonyManager tM =((TelephonyManager)
mMain.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE));
return tM.getSimCountryIso();
}

That works nicely on any phone; however, recently people started using the
new fad, tablets. Those generally do not have a SIM card, so whenever such
user contacts my server I can see that getSimCountryIso() must have returned
NULL ( or maybe an empty string ) and I am unable to figure out the country.

Any tips?

L.
