[android-beginners] Re: Error in the project, unable to track
You may see a tab near the bottom of Eclipse that called Problems. Click on that and see what it says. Also, in some cases Eclipse complains that you haven't auto-generated some files yet, such that if you run the application, it generates them and is happy. So try to run your app and see if it runs or if the Console tab shows any errors.

[android-beginners] Re: 2 O/S on same mobile?
I'm not aware of an Android port to that hardware. In general, to port an OS to a hardware platform, you need drivers for that hardware which are compatible with your OS. I'm guessing there are no Android drivers for the neotouch/F1/s200, but I could be wrong. As for running two operating systems on one phone, I don't believe that the needed virtual-device software is available yet.

It is actually very simple, but maybe I am walking on the wrong path since I think in the Windows way other than in the Android way :) My app is a window with 3 buttons (can't use tab since the buttons will increase in the future and since this is a porting from other platform and I have to follow the same UI guidelines as far as possible). Each button launch an activity and needs a reference to the main activity (parent) in order to use some common utility classes. I thought to do so by implementing the main activity as an ActivityGroup (thank to you first suggestion) and launch each child activity by getLocalActivityManager().startActivity() as I said in the previous post. But, as said, this doesn't update the screen with the new activity view. I have to explicitly call setContentView and put the child activity view (obtained by getDecorView()). Is this the right way or am I doing a mess? Then, when I finish() the child I restore the old view.

[android-beginners] Re: Pushing application from foregound to background
It depends on what you mean by background. If you want the Activity to disappear and not to anything until next time, save your state and call finish(). OTOH, if you want it to continue doing something in the background, you can run a Service as part of your app. Yusuf Saib Android ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

[android-beginners] Re: Accelerometer on different devices
That's an interesting question. On the one hand, for a platform to support Android, it should provide accelerometer data in a manner consistent with the spec (max and min values, etc.) On the other hand, different hardware may have slightly different performance, for example with latency or sensitivity to small movements, etc. It's like a mouse-based game on a PC. Some mice are more sensitive than others, or the Windows mouse settings are more/less fast.

[android-beginners] Re: Basic Questions
To install applications on android, we need the application to be in the form of an .apk file regardless of what we use to develop it, i.e SDK or NDK. Are there absolutely no other filetypes supported? No. If there are further patches for the android oses which have been already deployed on the phone, do we have to rebuild the image and install it on the phone again or is it possible to install it on the phone? There are downloadable OS updates. You don't have to build them yourself. Is it possible to have applications or services running on the device which can be built along with the source code, so that it is non- removable? I ask this because there might be some need for important services which need to exist on the device in order to keep track of applications or the device configuration. No, the only way to make a service non-removable is to make a custom Android distro. Is there anyway to perform a silent installation of apps? And is it possible to install such applications on the phone..? No. Android has already been ported to MIPS architecture as well as x86 machines. Does that mean we would still want the applications to be in the form of an .apk file for installation? Yes. And will all apk files no matter what it is built for (arm or mips based) run on all android supported devices, taking into consideration only the hardware independent functions being implemented in that application? Yes, that's the magic of Java-- write once, run everywhere!

[android-beginners] Re: preventing Activity from destroying
There are other ways to make a Service always work even if the phone sleeps; it depends on what your Service does. For example, if the Service's job is to respond to an Activity, then it is awake when the Activity is awake. Or if it responds to a broadcast Intent, ditto. Generally speaking, a Service that keeps the phone awake all the time to run like a daemon will eat up the battery, but there are cases where that's necessary. Why does your Service need to stay awake?

But hitting the Home button invokes the activity's onStop() for me. Now, it is true that if Android determines it needs memory, it may then invoke onDestroy() on the stopped activity. It sounds like if you want your activity to do something while minimized (i.e. in the background with no user interaction), then this logic should really be in your service. I wrote a program where a service continuously does some processing while keeping its state. I have an activity that binds to the service, gets the state, and appropriately rehydrates its own state accordingly. Everytime the activity pauses, it unbinds. Everytime it resumes, it rebinds. All the continuous processing is done on the service, and the activity gives the user a chance to modify the data. But when the activity is dead, the service continues on until I explicitly kill it through the said activity.

In other words, for running android apps on a windows mobile phone the problems are simply technical... if someone wants to do it badly enough, they will come up with a way to. More practical and popular approaches seem to be to try to get a build of android running entirely in place of windows mobile.

[android-beginners] Re: 'if' sentences please help
This is a Java mistake that is common. By common I mean one I make

if (!codedate.equals(220809)) {
If you just use the != operator then the JVM will compare the string

[android-beginners] Re: Cached GPS info?
One difference between navigation on phones vs dedicated devices like TomTom is that phones don't store the map data locally. So you need a data connection with a phone, either 3G or Wifi. Since WiFi isn't available everywhere, you need 3G to have phone navigation while driving around.

Ok, so my question is, can I do this with the GoogleMaps software built-in in the phone? If not, is there any extension/addin or new software that can save GoogleMaps service data to use as a cache when there's no internet connection?

I have a few basic apps (scan wireless networks, display accelerometer values etc.) that I want to test on my phone as the emulator doesn't support any of this. Both the apps force close in the emulator I want to know how can I test them on my phone real-time? I read about doing this on T-mobile G1 over herehttp://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html , but it doesn't work this way on my phone tried enabling USB Debugging on the phone as mentioned, installing the drivers, everything that this manual says... but Eclipse would just not detect my phone and always Run the code on the emulator... I hope someone can help me out with this...

In the Eclipse menu under Project there is a Clean item. rm/del also do the trick.
