[android-developers] Legal questions - protecting apps from being redistributed
Hi, I have a couple of free apps up on the Google Market Place but over the last few weeks I've seen those apps appearing on alternative market places. Even though they are free, I am not really happy about this because, amongst other reasons, I want the Google Market Place to be my central point for information about my apps. My questions: - are they allowed to do this? - is there anything I can do to stop this (legally, or technically)? Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Android Browser Plugins
Hi,
Since Flash is being delivered as an app from the market place I
presume this means that anyone can now create Android browser plugins
("inclusion not exclusion", etc).
Can someone please point me at the documentation for this (if it
exists) as I haven't been able to find anything specific in the SDK
docs.
Thanks,
Chris

[android-developers] Re: Where can I get an installable Froyo image for my Android Market Device Seeding Program Nexus One?
I'm using a Nexus One on Vodafone in the UK (thanks Google-IO) and am wondering the same thing ... am I going to get Froyo automagically or do I need to manually update?

[android-developers] Re: Flash on Froyo Emulator
Thanks Mark. That appears to be a yes to plugins as well, though I notice they've been in the SDK for a while (API Level 5): http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/package-summary.html Cheers, Chris On May 22, 5:58 pm, Mark Murphy wrote: > brindy wrote: > > So the implication is that the answer to Mr Pants' secondary question > > in his original post is: "yes - it is being delivered as a separate > > app which you have to install from the market".

[android-developers] Re: Flash on Froyo Emulator
So the implication is that the answer to Mr Pants' secondary question in his original post is: "yes - it is being delivered as a separate app which you have to install from the market". Can someone explicitly state if this is correct? Whatever the answer there are a couple of implications. If the answer is no - i.e. that Flash is coming as part of the Froyo release - does this mean Flash Player is going to be open sourced? And if the answer to that question is "no" does this now mean that Android is could start shipping with other closed extensions in the future? All this seems contrary to the whole open source movement but I am presuming the answer is going to be yes anyway... And if the answer *is* yes then does this mean that the Android browser now support plugins / extensions a la Chrome/other desktop browsers? If so - I presume this is in the SDK docs now? (I haven't chance to look as I am still in San Francisco on vacation post- Googleio). Finally - have Android engineers at Google actually had their hands on the Flash Player code? i.e. for review or to help the integration process. I realise there are probably NDAs in place, but it would be reassuring to know that Adobe have received some direct guidance and feedback from the people closest to Android's guts, though I presume this is what is meant by "working /with/ Adobe".
