[android-developers] Re: AndroidStudio feedback (vs Eclipse)
Also for all the Eclipse users .. there is an effort underway at the Eclipse foundation that builds on top of ADT and other projects to continue providing a first class Android development tooling setup with Eclipse. You should follow the progress and help out. https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.andmore On Tuesday, 20 January 2015 11:22:27 UTC-8, MarkG123 wrote: Persevere, it's well worth the effort. Converting project's instant straightforward (mostly due to changes in build system), and that's where your problems are, not Android Studio itself. For my more complicated projects, I find it's easier NOT to try and convert them. Create a new empty project with the same package name as your Eclipse project, let Android Studio create the gradle files and project structure, and then copy in your source, manifact and resources into their respective places in the new folder structure. You can then set up your key signing and check your project build settings and obfuscation and such.

[android-developers] Emulator with disabled camera still has camera?
Hi!
I want to test that my app behaves correctly without camera support but I
have no device without camera. So I created a avd with Camer support set to
no.
However when I run the emulator this call still returns true
public boolean hasCamera() {
PackageManager packageManager = application.getPackageManager();
return
packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA);
}
Is this a bug in the emulator that I should report or am I missing
something?
thx
manfred

[android-developers] Why is the android jar stubbed?
Hi! I am trying to figure out a way to run unit tests with some android provided classes (e.g. org.json). I would like to be able to run these outside the emulator for performance reasons. The only way I can think of at this stage is to have a separate module that uses org.json (not the android one) that runs all the tests and so that I then include in my android project. The problem is that if I try to use the android jar (including the provided) in my tests all methods will throw exceptions (well know fact..) Now I am just trying to understand why this is the case. My hunch is that the android.jar implementation classes are pretty tightly coupled to the underlying archticture and libraries (e.g. via jni to opencore, opengl and so on and son) and it would be a pretty difficult task to unbundle this all and make it run on the jvm rather then the android stack with the dalvik vm. Can somebody confirm it I am right or totally wrong? Is there a chance that at least some stuff can be tested outside if I create a android jar that contains the actual implementations by building android open source or is this all going to end in a huge misery for myself? manfred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I'd substitute utterly impossible for pretty difficult. So I guess that my suspicions is pretty correct then.. Can somebody confirm it I am right or totally wrong? Is there a chance that at least some stuff can be tested outside if I create a android jar that contains the actual implementations by building android open source or is this all going to end in a huge misery for myself? If you have pure Java logic that you want to test outside of Android, put it in a separate JAR and test it using JUnit. If you have mostly-pure Java logic that you want to test outside of Android, write interfaces to isolate the Android-specific bits, and test it using JUnit and an Android-free mock of the interface. If you have code that is heavily dependent on Android, test it in the emulator. If the emulator is not running fast enough for you, get a faster PC, or perhaps load android-x86 on some box so you get out of the emulation environment. I have not tried the android-x86 strategy, but in principle it should be faster than the emulator (assuming the hardware you install it on is not crazy slow). All that makes sense and is not a problem, but what if I would like to write a bunch of tests that use org.apache.http and org.json classes that would be supplied by android in the emulator. Could I run them against stock apache and json jars (of which I would have to find the corresponding version) outside of the android stack but then at runtime just have them using the android ones.It boils down to how compatible are the packaged copies of source with upstream in a way.. manfred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Reusable Android library packaging: interest?
I like the idea and as far as I know this is already possible to some extend by using the Maven Android Plugin. However this is really a suboptimal way in terms of component reuse on the device. Ideally it would even go further and get to a stage where a app could declare a dependency to a widget, library, intent or whatever and some central repository would be providing it for download. This would be similar to how e.g maven treats dependencies and downloads them on the fly when needed or even closer to Android how Linux package management systems like apt or rpm handle dependencies. The only problem with this approach is that it requires a strong open source community supporting the distribtution mechanism and at thist age I have my doubts this could be achieved on Android. Would be great though! manfred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
