[android-developers] Re: Applying Textapperance to whole application
I don't know about modifying the default theme, but it's easy to make your own and use it in your AndroidManifest.xml so you don't have to set it on each TextView. You can refer to your text appearance from a TextView style in your styles.xml: style name=BodyTextView parent=android:style/Widget.TextView item name=android:textAppearance@style/TextAppearance/item /style Then you can refer to the TextView style from a theme in your styles.xml: style name=Theme.MyTheme parent=@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar item name=android:textViewStyle@style/BodyTextView/item /style Then you can use this theme on the application or activity elements in your AndroidManifest.xml (or set it programatically): activity android:theme=@style/Theme.MyTheme ... That will apply your text appearance to the TextView's used without having to put style attributes on them directly..

[android-developers] Re: Snow fall effect
Keep an array of all the positions of snow flakes, update the positions each update for things like speed downward, and draw them out each draw. I've done this with rain when I wrote the Android version of this app: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speknid.autotrafego I implemented it both in a View subclass and in OpenGL ES. In the View subclass, the View is placed on top of the menu screens via both being in a FrameLayout. Both update and drawing is done in the draw method and drawing is done using the Canvas API. The draw method triggers another draw via via postInvalidate/postInvalidateDelayed. Frame rate was bad, but passable, although this was back before hardware acceleration for the Canvas API. OpenGL ES version, drawing was done in onDrawFrame of GLSurfaceView.Renderer, updates were done in a separate game update thread that passed arrays of sprites to draw to the render thread. It was triggered every time the render thread sent it a message with a used position update array to update. Frame rate was fine, but make sure you draw all the particles (be they snow flakes or rain) in a single draw call rather than one per particle. Similarly you are better off updating an array of positions and dumping it into a buffer than updating the buffer part by part.

[android-developers] Re: How Google Map gets current location in Android ?
Just a user here, but I can confirm the Google Maps app uses multiple location providers. I was on a train once and it couldn't get a GPS lock and just sat there forever trying to get a location. No clear view of the sky, I guess. Then I turned off GPS location provider in the phone settings and it insisted I was in Boston when I was really near Washingington DC. That's where Google thinks the train's WiFi is, I guess. Finally I turned off WiFi and it started getting the correct location, presumably by the nearest cell phone tower. So it uses both the GPS location provider and the network provider. I've also seen it display where I was last time I used locations before, until it loaded new data. So it either uses the last known location API as well, or caches the last used location itself. It's pretty much a given that last known location API is the fastest if it has anything, then the network provider, then the GPS location provider. So, as has been said, for quick startup you usually use locations from those sources in that order. There's plenty of code to get you started here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/obtaining-user-location.html On Monday, June 18, 2012 9:12:00 PM UTC-4, Ahmad wrote: Can someone from Google Android (map) group address the question/request ?

what we need it to specifically, not everything. Interesting seeing
the other implementations linked from and in this thread! Although in
our particular case, just parsing the OBJ files into exactly the bytes
they end up as in the graphics buffer and saving that to a file in res/

[android-developers] Re: Running application on Dell Streak emulator
The Dell Streak is pretty odd re the screen. It is WVGA resolution, but only mdpi, medium density. Usually that high of a resolution, combined with a small phone screen, results in hdpi. The Streak is bigger, however. This then affects what drawable folders are used and how drawables are scaled.

[android-developers] Re: write tag with opengl on android
Depends on your use case. In my case I was rendering UI and scores in
full screen OpenGL games. The scores changed frequently, so rendering
them to a bitmap and uploading that as a texture would be terrible for
the frame rate compared to never having to change the textures.
Similarly, overlaying standard Android UI stuff over the GLSurfaceView
hurt the frame rate as well; weird layer locking messages in the logs.

[android-developers] Re: No package identifier when getting value... for 1.5 on install since update
At some point the dev tools started automatically appending a version specifier to your resource names if your resource names used specifiers that Android 1.5 didn't understand. Android 1.5 doesn't understand the density specifiers, they were introduced after it was released. Therefore drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-ldpi are actually now considered drawable-hdpi-v4, drawable-mdpi-v4, and drawable-ldpi- v4. Android 1.5 does understand the version specifier, so it won't read something with -v4 on the end, only being API level 3. You can just change your drawable-mdpi to drawable anyway.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with SoundBoard App
Have you checked the logcat view in Eclipse to see if there is any
error message there when it happens?
Just at a guess, it is all those MediaPlayer instances you have. You
may want to try only having one MediaPlayer, or a small pool of them.
Use new, setDataSource, and prepare instead of create. Use reset
before those when you want to reuse one for a different sound.
There's SoundPool too, but that has pretty tight limitations on the
size of the sound files.

But, after the 7th Button in the java code, the next ones stop

From the first to the 7th it works perfectly, and after that they

At one point adb would say it was out of date and restart itself every time I ran the command and not work. As far as I can tell from process explorer, there was some sort of service running in the background, I suspect from one of these OEM adb drivers, that was starting a different adb constantly.

Judging from the name of the class, maybe it is an attempt to stop an

guess the name and documentation could be clearer there, though.

This is not a quiz group. Based on the meager information you have

ours.
That said, my guess is that you forgot: abortBroadcast() only works
with an ORDERED broadcast. You probably sent it a non ordered
broadcast, e.g., via Context.sendBroadcast().
Or you might have forgotten something else: you might have forgotten
that 'abortBroadcast' only sets a flag. You then have to wait for the
actual abort to happen.
Or are you not even seeing the Toast at all? In that case, there is
nothing wrong with abortBroadcast: you just don't even GET the
onReceive event. But that you will have to debug on your own.

[android-developers] Re: Android soundpool stop sequence of sounds
When you call SoundPool's play method you are returned a stream ID. You can call the stop method with that stream ID to stop the sound. SoundPool playing won't lock up your UI like that, however. That's probably your own code. Maybe you are using Thread.sleep on the main UI thread, for example. That thread needs to always be running to handle calling all your app's various methods, like activity life cycle events and on touch events.

[android-developers] Re: Any twitter updates??
Those classes are in the Twitter4J core JAR. So that isn't getting
properly included in your Java build path as a library if you can't
import them. So double check that.
One problematic thing I see you doing earlier is keeping your library
JARs in the assets folder. The assets folder is a special folder used
for things like HTML files that you want included with your
application and accessible at runtime just as they are. You shouldn't
keep library JARs in there. Those have to be converted from Java byte
code to Dalvik code anyway. You should use a different directory, like
a lib directory under your project directory. The fact that they are
referenced as libraries will make sure they are converted and the
converted output included in your APK. See this link:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#addexternallibrary

[android-developers] Re: RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED not sent after power off? (works on restart)
I actually did meet a developer at an Android meetup the other day who swore he didn't need to reset his alarms on boot up on a certain phone...now I can ask if this option is involved next time I see him. On Feb 6, 1:55 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Wait, let's back up a second. If their fast boot facility works how I assumed it does, it would actually be correct for it to not send boot_completed. That is, if what this does is save the current device state and RAM to storage, and reload that when turning on, then it absolutely should not send boot_completed because it is actually coming back up into the same running state it had before. So before going further with this, please check to verify there is actually a problem here: when you turn off and then back on, is the device state actually being reset? Are your recent tasks lost? Are registered alarms lost? Are services that were started no longer started? There would be a *lot* that is very broken if boot_completed wasn't actually sent as part of a fresh boot.

[android-developers] Re: Capture Video of App
For previous videos, I've used a tripod and a camcorder aimed downward at a table. This can still work reasonably well, but won't meet the alternate stores requirement of unaltered, unedited capture from the app. You could always try asking the account manager if camera video capture of the app is OK. My welcome packet for that app store got sent to my spam folder in gmail and I never saw it, but after some emailing, we figured it out. So they do respond to emails. They flat out tell you to crop out the OS taskbar in some cases in the same document anyway, which is editing, so I think you have to read the first bullet point in the context of not misrepresenting your app, which the rest of the bullet implies is its purpose. If you don't mind my asking, what did you use to suspend the camera? That Logitech one seems interesting, but it looks like it's designed as a Webcam, for clipping to a monitor or notebook. In that case it was just clipped to the arm of the document camera. It seems grippy enough that it can support itself facing straight down with the clip end horizontal. Unfortunately, I didn't trust the zoom not to cut my resolution and interpolate up, so I put a cardboard box under the phone to get it close enough to the camera not to have to zoom much, which is why you can see the phone moving a little when I push hard enough for the crummy touchscreen to register. I built a new lower gantry now anyway, made out of cardboard again, but it's fine since the webcam is light and won't be touched and the phone sits on a solid surface. I have some videos that way of a dice/ puzzle game I do the programming for, but haven't posted them yet. Getting bright lighting without glare or reflections is tough. If I could manage it I could crank the frame rate of the camera up. I haven't even started learning how to edit footage into glitzy promo videos, unfortunately. Maybe I should just hire a PR person and focus on coding. Emulator is no good for OpenGL games, but I ordered a video out cable for the Incredible I have access to, so I'll try that soon too. Too bad the HDMI video out on some phones is for a couple built-in apps only. Pure digital would look better than capturing analog composite, even if the capture equipment costs an arm and a leg.

I need this for my own stuff as well. I thought about demoing slowly and speeding up the video a while back, but then getting the audio right would be difficult. Maybe some people don't have important audio, though. In the meantime, with the point-a-camera-at-it solutions, I've found the camera you use makes a big difference.

First of all, iOS has some extremely well thought at and sensible UI/ UX patterns, many of them designed to get around the limitation of having one physical button (always needing a back button on screen, no menu key and so on). The danger here is that as Android developers we don't have this stuff built into the SDK, if you've tried to implement iOS's overshoot/ elastic ScrollViews which are purported to be coming to Gingerbread, you'll know how much extra work this can be, and potentially how brittle that might make code, especially if this particular feature is going to be built in.

[android-developers] Re: Android system font size
The documentation does mention that if you set your textSize in sp units, it is scaled by the user's font size preference: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources.html#Dimension So wouldn't you just have to use a different unit, like dp or px? I've never actually seen a system wide font size preference, however, and I must have seen the settings screens on over a dozen Android phones. I wish there was one, and I've had people ask me about it before too, but it's incredibly rare if it exists, or is just hidden somewhere I have no clue to check. You might want to check that you aren't seeing text size differences due to running on different density class devices. That's far more likely.

For entertainment, try an Adwords ad that links to your listing and watch it not get approved because the url doesn't work. I also had trouble with AdWords. The official blog said it supported ads for Android Market apps, but when I went in the form didn't support the market protocol URL and the link checker declined the http protocol URL saying bad status code. Blog here: http://adwords.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-targeting-options-for-mobile-ads.html URLs as specified here: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html I went in just now, however, and tried to edit the ad and resubmit to see if it was fixed. That didn't work, it stayed declined. I stuck an extra parameter on the end, however, and it tried again. The status went from eligible to approved this time. So I currently have an approved ad with display URL market.android.com/net.fizzl.ski (the official blog claimed you should do market.android.com/ and the app name, but the form rejects spaces, so the package name was the closest I could do) and destination URL http://market.android.com/details? id=net.fizzl.skireferrer=test_ad. Amusingly, playing with some more ads, I can even get it to approve one for destination URL http://market.android.com/net.fizzl.ski; (the blog claimed the form should auto-fill itself out when you enter a proper display URL, and this is what you get from doing the package name thing above). That's broken both on Android phones with market and all other devices, though. So apparently they've gone from rejecting valid URLs to accepting invalid URLs. At least with the current buggy behavior you can at least get an Android ad approved, however, whereas with the previous buggy behavior you could only get declined. Who knows if it will even work, though, ha. The blog claims it should show a download link instead of a URL, but I don't get that when I visit the desktop version of AdWords on my Android phone where it shows how the ad looks. Clicking the link there does work, though, and opens the market details page. You may also want to set the Android only targeting manually since the official blog seems so wrong on everything else it is probably wrong on the auto-targeting too.

[android-developers] Re: Local Service vs Remote Service
Yeah, in my personal apps I call the previously registered default uncaught exception handler from my own. That's why users still get the force close option. Doing a network call beforehand in the same process doesn't work well. If you wait you can get situations where there's an ANR as well as the pending force close and all sorts of bizarre stuff. If you do it in a different thread and don't wait, then the force close kills your thread before you send the majority of the time. I've tried both. There are a couple rare cases where I don't pass the exception on to the default handling. I hash the stack trace, compare it to a white list of known harmless exceptions, and don't pass the exception on if it matches one of them. This is only good with a very small subset of exceptions, however. I think I have like an exception or two from Quattro and Millennial Media ad Networks in there, for example. I hate using buggy ad networks, but they pay way more per click than AdMob. Most exceptions you can easily wrap in your own code anyway. These were getting thrown from threads I don't even start, I think. At a company where I work they exit the process and restart, but that adds all sorts of other complications, like restoring state on your own and making sure you don't get stuck in an endless loop if the app dies immediately again. If you are restarting over and over, then obviously it is time to use the original handler, but that's annoying to detect. use Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler() to eliminate the force-close dialog and deal with the unexpected exception myself, such as logging it to a server. This does not require a remote process. I definitely don't recommend trying to keep using the process for anything user facing after an unhandled exception in general. I've tried that and it just doesn't work reliably. Think about it, how is an activity or UI going to run if the exception killed the loop in the main UI thread that processes messages or something like that? Only ever eat the exception if it is something you've reproduced on your own machines and checked that the process isn't hosed. Most of the exceptions I get reported aren't something I can reproduce, unfortunately. I test on all the devices I can get my hands on and lots of emulator images. We're not talking about common exceptions here. If the user hits the report button, the crash information will be available through market feedback. The official Android reporting sucks. It is only on the latest versions and requires Market. It requires a double opt-in button press each time, so users hardly every do it, and yes I have numbers to prove that. It would have been much better to have an opt-out of sending stack traces when a user activates or upgrades to a new Android version that supports it, or when they install an app, and then an opt-in every time for sending additional, potentially more private information. Stack traces would still get sent if the user is lazy and hits force close and doesn't care either way. Something like that. What good is having all that information when hardly any users actually send it? It's fine if they don't send for privacy reasons, but they are not sending because the process is badly implemented and a pain in the ass for the user. Er... fix the force close in your app...? :p There are unfixable ones in the Android platform, unfortunately. One particular one thrown by ViewGroup.offsetRectBetweenParentAndChild can't even be wrapped by my code. See this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/d378a3dc1b467b44 There are also ones in libraries I use or used, like Millennial Media and Quattro advertising as mentioned above. I suppose I could decompile their libraries, fix their bugs, and recompile. Reporting the bugs to them was about as useful as reporting Android bugs on b.android.com, which we aren't even allowed to do for anything but the latest Android versions nowadays anyway, which shows how completely out of touch that process is with the bugs developers have to work around every day. There are also lots of issues that might not be worth fixing as well. All phones, but Droids especially, can get corrupt databases on upgrade even though my DB code matches the official tutorials, for example. Spending time to account for that might help so few users, however, that it would be better for me to write a feature that would help much more users instead. Too bad the platform is so unreliable that even stuff based on the official samples sucks when put out in production and gives your users force closes.

I can think of no scenarios in which you need a service to run in a separate process. I've run into a scenario. Force close kills your process.

[android-developers] Re: Resource not found
One thing to watch out for is that recent Android SDK versions will append -v4 to resource folders that use a specifier that Android 1.5 doesn't understand. Before this Android 1.5 would sometimes read the folder anyway. So, for example, if you had a drawable-mdpi directory and switched to the latest build tools, it is actually now drawable- mdpi-v4, which Android 1.5 won't read. For that particular case you can just make the folder named drawable instead anyway, since it is considered medium density class by default.

[android-developers] Re: stopping the GC from kicking in
Unfortunately, you do have to avoid garbage collection during play when writing real-time games on Android right now. The garbage collector usually stops the world for hundreds of milliseconds. For a smooth experience you need to get a frame out every 33 milliseconds, preferably every 16ms. Maybe someday Android will have an incremental and/or concurrent GC and someday the majority of the phones on the market will be upgraded to that Android version. But the reality is, if you are writing a real-time game right now, you will see big jerks in the movement of your game until you avoid GC. Imagine Angry Birds where the birds just judder randomly in flight several times before they land instead of smooth arc. When you study what is ruining the smooth movement in your game, you'll learn you have to avoid GC - it doesn't matter if you are a C++ programmer or not. Re background GCs, they aren't as bad because they aren't in your process, and there is less you can do about them anyway. I find turning on airplane mode helps avoid them, however. Sometimes it is nice to avoid them when testing because that way you don't have to go check logcat to see which process ID the GC fired in when you see a judder.

This flies in the face of modern software design, which says build it right then build it fast. He basically says throw away most of the benefits of using auto-GC languages such as Java by writing your code in a very artifical way which avoids allocating memory. It is a pity because he could have told us some things we (or at least I) don't know, such as how the GC is triggered, whether it is device dependent, whather there are calls to suspend repacking the heap, practical stuff about how to best use a GC language for real-time apps.

[android-developers] Re: Alternative to GLWallpaperService, OpenGL Live Wallpaper
Hmm, well live wallpapers do have icons and other UI stuff draw on top of them. That could slow things down, or the way they are used could have been written to intentionally limit their speed to preserve extra capacity for the foreground, etc.. I wonder how easy it is to debug/ traceview them to find out what's going on. It's easy to do for your own app's process, which you can set to debuggable and not have to be on an emulator or rooted phone. Live wallpapers probably run in the home process or something, though.

I have an ATT 3G compatible Nexus One. They sold them in two variants for this reason. Not sure if they still do. Google doesn't sell it as a consumer phone anymore.

[android-developers] Re: Amazon | xxx - Business Opportunity
I use the Android Market to offer paid upgrade apps from free apps myself. It doesn't work well. For one thing, you are never sure if launching a Market intent for a paid app will even work. The user might be in a country or on a carrier that doesn't support it. Checking against a country list before showing a market intent button to a user leaves you with list of countries you have to maintain and isn't even bullet proof when maintained properly because sometimes there are carriers that don't support paid apps in countries that otherwise do. There are other problems as well. I get emails from users who can't get downloads to start, for example. A common problem with the Market app that hasn't been fixed in a long time. I generally give them a link to that Google support page where Google does nothing and there's pages and pages of users trying bizarre workarounds like resetting their Google Talk connections. Hopefully Amazon will make more money off their market and be more inclined to fix ridiculous situations and bugs like this. I don't even want to sell paid one shot upgrades delivered separately anyway. I'd much rather have a free, expansive game that just offers repeatable shortcuts to people willing to pay to help support it. E.g. the game would be free, let's call it MyMineCraft. After each day- night cycle a store would pop up where a user could choose to buy an item that would otherwise take them a lot of trouble to obtain, like a titanium pick axe. It would break after a while and they could either buy another one, or they could buy a subscription and get one free item from the store per day. The whole purchase mechanism could be made much more painless for users if you didn't have to leave the app and download something through the Market. You can't do this sort of thing with PayPal either. They've explicitly said that the Android Market policy prevents you from selling digital content using it: https://www.x.com/message/176744 There are many game developers who would prefer to have enhanced subscriber experiences or purchasable digital goods options built-in to their free apps instead of as paid apps. These ways of making money are huge hits in the industry. I'm amazed Android has such poor support for them.

[android-developers] Re: Unit testing a class that uses android.os.Handler
Handler has multiple constructors. The ones that take a Looper
argument can take the Looper for a Thread other than the current one.
That way you don't need to create the Handler on that Thread and it is
easier to ensure it is not null on the Thread using it. There's also
an android.os.HandlerThread utility class that is pretty much just a
Thread with a Looper. It has a getLooper method that's easy to feed
into the Handler constructor and that avoids the issue with prepare()
taking a while sometimes and leaving you with a null longer than you'd
expect.

Apparently this is done via Looper. I'm guessing the code would be
like this:
class LooperThread extends Thread {
public Handler mHandler;
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
mHandler = new Handler();
Looper.loop();
}
}
You'd start this thread and then use your pointer to it to access
mHandler (though you'd have to guard somehow against getting a null
before the reference was set). Then dispatch Runnables or Messages
via that handler.
(Gotta wonder where Looper stashes the instance it creates of itself
to attach to the Thread. I suppose it uses ThreadLocal.)

If you wanted to run on a separate thread it appears to me that you'd
have to start the thread, have that thread create a Handler and pass
it back to you somehow, and then post via THAT Handler.
At least that's how I'd interpret this: Each Handler instance is
associated with a single thread and that thread's message queue. When
you create a new Handler, it is bound to the thread / message queue of
the thread that is creating it -- from that point on, it will deliver
messages and runnables to that message queue and execute them as they
come out of the message queue.

I assume the gc will clean up the Threads as they expire, but I could
also redesign this to have a single active thread that posts Runnables
(or even just messages) to it's own MessageQueue at specified
intervals. Then I'd be managing the looper myself (that is, calling
Looper.loop), which would probably resolve this issue.
That doesn't answer the original question but it may be the right
approach if it's more android-y.

Technically, you can draw the faces separately, binding a different texture in between each draw. That'll be really slow, though. It's usually better to put all six images into a single texture, then for each face use texture coordinates into that single texture to only show the part with one of the six images. This technique is called using an atlas texture. There's lots of tools and scripts out there for taking separate images and putting them together into atlas textures for you and generating the texture coordinates. For only six images, though, you are just as well off pasting them into one image in a graphics editor and hard coding the texture coordinates to match, though. Or learning Blender, a free 3D modeling tool, doing the texture mapping there, and exporting to OBJ or some other easily readable format.

[android-developers] Re: Can I post text to facebook profile from my android application?
Make sure to do some testing and tweaking if you use the official one. It isn't integrate and forget quality. I had to add a cancel listener in FbDialog so my app knew when users left by the back button, for example. Make sure the web view stops loading when they leave as well, otherwise you get an error later. Also had weird problems with the sizing when testing various screens/rotations, buttons were offscreen, etc... Ended up making the thing full screen and scrollable.

I kind of managed this the other day in a hackish sort of way. I wanted to use an open source RSS library that used java.beans.** Java classes, which aren't in Android. So I downloaded the source for those classes from the Apache Harmony project, ripped out all the references to AWT stuff, and got the library source code imported and compiling against it. Then I refactored the packages to notjava.beans.**. So anyway, sometimes you can work out a substitute for the missing Java classes and alter all references to point to that substitute.

[android-developers] Re: Proguard, Android, and the Licensing Server, or...
Neat idea. An annotation wouldn't work for things in JAR libraries, however. Back when I tested ProGuard to see if it helped my frame rates, I had to turn obfuscation off for some classes in JARs I use. Not sure why, maybe the library used reflection or something. It wasn't even a weird library, just one of the metrics or ads ones that lots of people use. The most powerful solution would be to just have a file field in the project properties for a ProGuard config file to use. I guess since people are complaining they can't use Ant, maybe they would complain they can't edit config files on their own too, however.

If you are using Eclipse you shouldn't be accessing the maps.jar manually anyway.

[android-developers] Re: Exception Logging
Even the big players are just catching onto this (as witnessed by the fact that there's no facility for this built into the phone). It is built into later Android versions. The normal force close dialog has an extra button called Report. That leads to a screen where extra information can be added which has buttons Preview and Send, although the user can just hit back from there as well. There's also a long scrolling dialog full of legalese with Accept and Decline buttons that showed up the first time I went through this, but that might have been because the app that crashed was the Market app itself. That dialog didn't show up in subsequent crashes I observed, although those were for non-Google apps, although still distributed by the Market. So either it remembers your choice for the legalese step, or that only shows up for Google apps. Anyway, for normal developers, the information ends up on the Market developer console. There's a link called Errors you can click on next to each published app to see reported errors. Flurry, the free app metrics service, also has an uncaught exception handler that it sets, unless you specifically call the FlurryAgent.setCaptureUncaughtExceptions function to disable it. These errors are reported in the Flurry analytics for the app. So error reporting of this sort isn't rare at all. The official reporting does have flaws, however. It isn't available on older versions of Android. I assume it isn't active for non-Google, non-Market distributed apps. Also, hardly any users actually use it. I suspect it's just too much work for a user to go through this multiple opt-in every time. I think an opt-out for sending stack traces on upgrading or activating a phone with a version of Android that supports it would have been much more helpful to users and devs alike. Having hardly any errors reported just leads to lower quality apps for everyone, and stack traces are far more useful than 1 star, short cryptic comments on the Market details page. A compromise could have been opt-in/opt-out on app install, or on first install of an app by each developer, or explicit opt-out of stack trace sending on crash at least, processed separately from the form. The form has a manual input section that probably makes lots of users blow reporting off, because it looks like work. They could have still kept the per-crash opt-in for sending additional information with any of those solutions to protect private information, and still gotten devs more stack traces to work with. I guess the biggest danger I've heard people mention is apps sending private data in the message property of exceptions, which is included in stack traces. This might be possible even for an app without the internet permission, which users might trust more because they think it can't send data.

Even the big players are just catching onto this (as witnessed by the fact that there's no facility for this built into the phone). Real time diagnostics are much friendlier for the user than saying Please reproduce with logging turned on or whatever, and generally the information you obtain is more comprehensive and helpful (since you're more apt to see several instances of essentially the same bug, but with slightly different symptoms). There is a slight danger that the paranoid among users will believe that you're secretly collecting data on them. It's probably better to somehow obtain their permission to send the failure report to you, vs doing it silently and unconditionally. Asking them at the same time if they want to provide an email address is good, though. In terms of options, I'd say KISS -- keep it simple. Unless the facility is going to be picked up by a trusted authority (say, Google), just have email address be reported back to the developer. Promise, of course, that the email address will be kept private (and make any users of your facilities aware that they're making this promise) but don't bother with the complex forwarding service -- users are no more apt to trust it than they are to trust the individual developers, and in fact they're probably more likely to be confused by the options and not agree at all.
