So I get a message from google saying that I need to update the
content rating on my apps because otherwise they will default to
mature. So fine, pull up the developer console, check "All", hit
save. "High resolution icon required". Really now? Is it? Haven't
touched my icons in like a year -

So as part of the Google device seeding program I recently recieved my
free Droid. Great phone, and it appears to have wireless and data
service. I've done nothing to activate it and I can make calls and
surf the web over 3G.
My question is, who's paying for it? I tried to activate the phone in
Interesting issue. I can see the need to make this configurable
though. In some cases it would be nice to make sure that these
background tasks do not run concurrently as concurrency issues can
result.
For example, I might have a URL fetch tied to a user interface
button. When the URL returns,
Yeah, I am lucky to go a full day on one charge. 90 minutes of web
surfing (on the bus to and from work) will easily kill an entire
charge. If I just leave the thing in standby, with wi-fi off, it
might last 2 days.

In my adapter code I only ever return a single type of view from
getView(). This view always has a field with an id of R.id.name.
A non-zero percentage of the time I am given a convertView in the
parameters passed to getView() and the code:
convertView.findViewById(R.id.name)
will return null.
In my adapter code I take the convertView supplied, if not null, and
then attempt to do a findViewById for a field I know should be in the
view. If it's there, I use the view, if it's not, I recreate the view
from scratch.

I've posted this question to the Market technical support forum and

Basically if you are interested in long term persistent state, ignore

Same thing happened to me. I still have the original app id entry in
the developer console, but all of the ratings are gone, I can't
publish it, and it's not in the store any longer. All I tried to do
was upload a newer version with a new icon. Let's hope somebody will

I am attempting to write an application that regularly polls data from
a publicly available website using a URLConnection. The code is
pretty basic (urlStr contains the URL...)
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
notifyDataSetChanged() will only work on the UI thread. In order to
do this, create a simple Runnable:
// adapter is a reference to your BaseAdapter or ListAdapter
private Runnable updateAdapter = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
I am not sure why they would need to contact you. They'd need to
merely obey the CDDL - which also requires you to provide the source
code to your modifications. Where can I find the modified source?

Try putting the WebView in your layout, assigning it an appropriate
ID, and then in onCreate get a reference to it using:
setContentView(R.layout.webtest); //Or whatever the name of your

WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webViewID);
This works for me.

Use WebView.loadDataWithBaseURL, use "dummy" for the base URL if your
HTML is locally generated. WebView.loadData, for some bizarre reason,
munges the entire HTML document into a URL using the data: scheme.
The url encoded clobbers %'s and #'s.

calling super.dispatchTouchEvent allows all of the other views to
