Re: [android-developers] EditText causes app to crash
As the person who accidentally started this whole issue, I would like to formally apologize. In truth I was really hacked off with HTC yesterday because they literally provide Zero developer support. I made my comment quickly without thinking of the ramifications and consequences it would have and it was out of line. After sending it I quickly sent another message to try and ease the sharpness of it (obviously quite unsuccessfully). I am truly grateful for Android and all the effort that goes on behind the scenes to make it a successful platform. In many of the posts that Dianne referred to about ridiculous demands I have actively stood on the side of Google. Sometimes, being on the outside, it is easy to remember that there is a lot of effort going on that we can't see. And being human, what we can't see often times doesn't exist (until it is pointed out again and again). So, Dianne, and everyone else at Google (whether active contributors to this group or not), thank you for your efforts in making Android a success.

Re: [android-developers] EditText causes app to crash
It's not just about me posting to this group. Google puts significant time and money in to creating, documenting, and supporting the Android SDK, in to maintaining and improving the developer tools, in to improving the platform in ways that developers request. All of this, including all of the generated source code, is given a way. All of it for free. From watching all of this for a few years now, I honestly believe that giving things away for free like this has a strange tendency to cause people to feel entitled about what they are getting and expect they should be getting unreasonably more than they are. I don't want to discount all of the time and effort that third party developers put in to the platform and how much it benefits the platform. I certainly appreciate this. The expectation coming back about what Google owes developers however often seems to be way over the the top, or at least very unappreciative of everything Google does do.

Re: [android-developers] EditText causes app to crash
I think we need to clearly distinguish between Support provided by Google, and Support provided by Dianne Hackborn. (And a few other notables, but especially you.) There's no question that if you stopped posting, you'd have time to do other stuff to improve the platform. But I really don't think there's anything you could code up that would contribute as much to the success of the Android platform, as what you do, posting here. You can have great code, but if your developer community is not thriving and successful, it'll go to waste. Technically, what you do here isn't support. But it fills the void, and in a much more cost-effective way. It's education. It's also an insider view, and inside access, and a communications channel. But mostly, it's education, and the impact of your efforts go far beyond answers to individual developers questions. Support simply does not have the reach you do! I hope your bosses appreciate that fact. I hope the people here on the forum do. You do a great job.

Re: [android-developers] EditText causes app to crash
Dianne, there's another way to look at this. I don't think it is as much a matter of entitlement, as investment. People are emotionally and financially invested in the success of the Android platform -- as are you! A lot of what you see isn't so much I am entitled to X, as Android really needs X. It still boils down to unreasonable demands on the Android team, but a lot of the time, the motivations are more of a matter of rooting -- urgently -- for your success. And I think it's natural that the weakest links in that success come in for the greatest heat. Most would agree that the weakest link -- and arguably the most important -- has been the market, which went for a very long time without any notable improvement -- and notably, without any public communication of the type you provide for the platform itself. I think the Market folks need to seek out and hire a Dianne Marketborn. I know they've been making new efforts and progress, but connecting them better to their developer community would pay off. But even so, you'll always have impassioned people urgently wanting you all to do even more. But think about it -- what's the alternative? A community that doesn't care what you do? Ultimately, this situation is a mark of, and measure of, your success. On Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:40:34 PM UTC-7, Dianne Hackborn wrote: It's not just about me posting to this group.

I think you know this. Well except the comment I was replying to here wasn't about Market. I very much avoid reading any threads related to Market here because they are not worth the time. And there are numerous examples of people complaining that Google is not giving them as much as they deserve besides anything to do with Market. In fact there were two nice (and common) ones just the other day at the fireside chat: - Someone asking about when Google is going to completely open-source Android, and then clarifying open-sourcing everything down to the hardware drivers and radio layer. When it was pointed out that these are not things Google has direct control over because they are owned by other people, but if you look at the progress over the last few years there have been a lot of improvements in the situation and Google will continue to work to make things better, the response is well I'm disappointed. Nice. - Someone asking for Google to open-source their proprietary apps so others can learn from real full working apps. This person was not too happy about the response of that not happening... at which point I would have liked to ask what full working apps *that* person had open-sourced for others. Not to mention that there are plenty of full working apps in the open-source platform (contacts, music, calendar, etc) that Google did implement and give away. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with asking for such things and bringing them up. What annoys me is the attitude that often goes along with it when these requests and demands are not fully met that Google is somehow not doing enough. 2 - Google takes a $25 signup fee and 30% cut of every paid app sold through the Android Market. Considering that, I think it's reasonable to expect some semblance of support from that particular group. My response here isn't about Market, so this doesn't really apply. On the other hand -- just compare this with other platforms: on iOS and Windows Mobile you get the same 30% cut but have to pay $99 a year for the privilege of distributing any apps. On Windows MSDN is about $800/year. A single $25 signup fee is trivial. And if you don't want to pay it, we made Android so that you could still publish your apps outside of Market. Anyway I did say that I don't read threads about Market, and I don't want to get into another one here. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
