I assume you have changed the cert. If this is the cause, no there is nothing you can do about it. The cert is the identity of the author; two apps with different certs are fundamentally different apps and can't be installed on top of each other. On Sat, Apr 30, 2011 at 4:16 PM, Derek Winstead

Where do I change the cert? That doesn't sound like something I've done (knowingly). When doing my development on the ADV with eclipse I make my changes and rerun the program. It reinstalls everything but I don't loose data. Only when I try to push it to a real phone does it want an uninstall.

The development and release .apk files are signed with different certificates. In other words, when you hand out an .apk that was created when you ran an Eclipse build, you are distributing an .apk that's signed with a cert different than the .apk which you generate for release (which you run

It is fine to do that, but the Release version has a different signature. So if they have the Development apk installed, then they have no choice but to uninstall that to install the Market apk. This is only the case when going from Development - Market...any subsequent updates will be fine and

I figure that multiple smaller images work better than the '1 large image' example you have, since DalvikVM won't need to allocate one large contiguous chunk of memory. I won't worry about it too much. Don't start solving a problem that may not exists in your actual app :-) -- You received

By the way, this Google I/O video on ListView seems to indicate it is perfectly acceptable, and in fact required, that you call notifyDatasetChanged() when anything in your dataset changes (either individual cell content, or data set size). Nothing in this video says you should be iterating

Yes, you're right about that. Calling notifyDataSetChanged on the adapter is the best way to go and you should use it in 99% of cases. However, in some cases rules should be broken. :) A call to notifyDataSetChanged redraws all the children in the ListView and is relatively expensive and you

Figuring out which items are visible is pretty easy, you can use ListView.getFirstVisiblePosition() to know what section of your adapter is visible (getFirstVisiblePosition() + getChildCount() - 1 gives you the last visible position.) On Sat, Apr 30, 2011 at 8:35 PM, Eric e...@alum.mit.edu wrote:

notifyDatasetChanged() is used to force ListView to invoke Adapter.getView() again, which may be expensive, depending on what you do in it. ListView does have many optimizations to make notifyDatasetChanged() calls as efficient as possible though. If you are doing *very* frequent updates (several
