Hi, Our app seem to misbehave sometimes when user plug USB cable to the device. Is there any way to simulate this event using Android simulator?

Re: [android-developers] List of task killers
What's the point of some pre-populated list? As more get published your list will quickly be outdated. I do not care all of these, just most popular ones. And what's the point? That's obvious - if at least one user understand the warning and exclude my app, I will have one it does not work user less to support. Barring that, a large popup that says Don't be stupid and kill my app if you want it to work right might work too. I do not like popups w/o the real reason, so such warning is already built-in, but I want to throw it in the face if I detect task killer. Anyway, http://www.androlib.com/r.aspx?r=killer+task may be good start.

To avoid such issue prescale your screenshots in GIMP or PS to match 320x480 and then upload.

So the suggestion is to use:
Intent marketIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(
market://search?q=pname: +
packageName()));
startActivity(marketIntent);
finish();
it FCs because you do not catch any exception (especially ActivityNotFound
which most likely is thrown there)
try {
startActivity(marketIntent);
} catch( Exception e ) {

also, if you know package name, instead of search use details which
redirect you to package details page (if such package exists for that
device).

The app name is set in the developer console; doesn't matter what you use in the app. What you can change in console app title seen in Market. It got nothing to do with app name itself. Unfortunately, to change anything in the market youhave to re-load your app, Which is quite obvious if you ask me. APK changes does not populate other way. and it checks that the version number is higher before it will accept the new apk. How otherwise you would like to user know about the update?
