2010-05-23 Thread Robert P. J. Day
just jumping into using the android 2.2 SDK and emulator on my ubuntu 10.04 system, and an initial attempt to build a virtual device with a 2G card gave me Error: SD Card size must be at least 9MB. um ... huh? i verified that sizes of 256M, 512M, 1G and 1.5G all work, but 2G is weirdly

[android-beginners] minor suggestion for downloadable android samples

2010-05-23 Thread Robert P. J. Day

Or you could buy a G1 on Craigslist for anywhere from $80 to $100 dollars. Expect to pay about $30-$40 bucks to get it unlocked unless you buy it already unlocked. Then once you do the setup with a SIM card in the phone, you should see an offer to upgrade the ROM to 1.6. There is no reason not to

oh I just tried 2048M in the command line and it's broken. The bug we fixed was specific to the UI code in the AVD Manager, but it looks like there's a similar bug in the command line processing :( Workaround: use the AVD Manager UI. On Sun, May 23, 2010 at 12:23 PM, Xavier Ducrohet
