[android-developers] How to allow for devices without a touchscreen android.hardware.touchscreen
Basically all my games support non touchscreen devices but it seems that the store thinks my games have this as a required feature. So how do I make it so the following does not show up in the Android Market? This apk requests 1 features that will be used for Android Market filtering android.hardware.touchscreen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Android WVGA support
The Highest resolution I can get in the emulator is 1000x500.
I need 1200x600. How do I do it? or can I yet?

Dammit yeah that would be broken. I'll make sure this is fixed in the next
version; for now i guess you will need to include both -v4 and -v5

Trying to help by digging up the code.
I found this:

// Return true if 'this' can be considered a match for the
parameters in
// 'settings'.
// Note this is asymetric. A default piece of data will match

}
if (settings.minorVersion != 0 minorVersion != 0
minorVersion != settings.minorVersion) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
Of course I am not sure where this is used, but I only see an != here.
Hopefully, this is not the right code. Or perhaps there is new code in
Eclair that is not available yet, that makes this better.
Thanks for the help.

Dianne, I am sorry to say it also does not work for me. Actually, we had
made a mistake and originally forgot the v4, which screwed up Cupcake,
but
now we added the v4 (and make no other changes), and it stopped working.
Am I missing something? Or is there perhaps a serious problem? Please
reply
back so we can take action -- we need to publish a new APK for the
Cupcake
users, but we can't figure out how to do that without breaking Eclair.

Hi Dianne,
The v flag does indeed not work, I am using the Android 2.0 SDK with
the following AndroidManifest settings:

Running on a WVGA854 emulator with density 240 and API 5, I get the
following results:

Why did I put my high-dpi images in the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder

The

On Feb 17, 6:09 pm, David McLaughlin (Android Advocate) d...@google.com wrote: Hi, You may not add a price to an existing app; instead, you will need to upload a new application version and add a price to that. Section 3.3 states that people who download a free app can not be charged at a later date for what they have already downloaded. For example, they can't be charged an ongoing subscription fee for additional content. To me this contradicts the following: This is not intended to prevent distribution of free trial versions of the Product with an “upsell” option to obtain the full version of the Product: Such free trials for Products are encouraged. Where, obtain the full version could be just getting a registration key that unlocks more features. I will however create a new version despite the insanity of making customers download applications more than once. They will still need to purchase a registration key each year from Google if they downloaded the application from Google otherwise they will revert back to Trial Mode. This clearly meets the requirements. Since when did obtain == download. However, the user can be redirected back to the market to download a full version (this would be considered a different version) for a price.

[android-developers] Re: .9 SDK Questions
An emulator that accurately models the performance of real hardware will not be able to run in realtime on any machine sitting on someone's desk. That is not true. It can be done for a cell phone. You need about 10x to do it. I would hope most people desktops are in that range. Oddly that was a common quote about emulating some hardware in the 80's, but that hardware was akin to PC performance. And this still ignores things like graphics hardware acceleration (which can have a huge impact since it can do things like relieve the CPU of basically all work in compositing the screen whenever it changes), DSPs, etc. Well to my knowledge the first two phones don't have PowerVRs. So the emulation would probably be the OMAP or ARM processors with only some graphics acceleration. Not that is matters. I was looking for estimated performance not exact like the WTK does for J2ME. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: .9 SDK Questions
This is why performance emulation requires: 1. The emulator to run on a system much faster than the real device. 2. Instrumentation to control timing. I was just looking for a rough estimate like say a Centrino Duo 1.7 Ghz with 1 Gig. On Aug 20, 7:20 pm, Jeff Hamilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's hard to make such statements about a certain PC emulating a certain level of phone. There are a lot more factors at play than pure CPU clock speed when determining end user performance. Things like the memory bus speed, the speed of flash, cache sizes, cache replacement algorithms, adjustable clock rates, etc. Many of those factors are not emulated, so it's not really possible to make comparisons from the emulator to any given non-emulated hardware. -Jeff On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 1:50 AM, hanni [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think what people are looking for is some rough estimate to the correlation between the speed of the emulator and the speed of the phone.

[android-developers] Re: Graphics performance
My main issues is that the line drawing is usually faster than images on real phones for up to 12 or so lines, but not the emulator. The drawing images and 3d is actually not that bad for fast phones of 2003, but it should be about 8 times faster. 25fps is actually really fast, but like you said it is just a single test image. As far as speeding things up the most important thing is to reuse the Bitmap object and not create one each frame. I assume you are already doing that given your getting 25fps. Not much other than that is going to dramatically increase performance. If you follow Google performance advice document you are doing just about everything you can do. Remember the first arcade games that sold millions of copies only got 5-7 fps. On Mar 26, 11:03 am, David Given [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I'm trying to write some highly graphics-intensive code. It's basically rendering into a pixel array (int[]), which I want to slam onto the screen as quickly as possible. What I'm seeing is rather disappointing. What I'm doing is copying the pixel array into a Bitmap object using Bitmap.setPixels(), and then drawing the Bitmap using a custom View class; the data's actually being produced from another thread, so there's also a postInvalidate() in there. Full screen, with a dummy drawing routine that just fills the array with garbage, this is maxing out at 25fps while using 100% CPU time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be able to do to speed things up? For example, is it possible to bypass the compositing layer somehow, which has *got* to be hurting things? Is there any way of getting the Bitmap's internal pixel store, so I can draw into that and save a copy?
