[android-developers] Re: Android in China - What is going on?

2009-11-17 Thread siuying
Hi

China government blocked Google sync services in China. Google
probably aware, but I dont think they can help. Note this is not only
affecting Android but almost affect every similar services. This may
or may not be official, government can block any service without prior
notification!

 For well over 1 month now my ADP G1 has been experiencing connectivity
 issues in China. Both the market place and gmail are affected by this
 problem (actually anything requiring account authorization from what i
 can tell) during which time they are both unaccessible. On average the
 blocking is in effect 90% of the time but at random periods during the
 day/night will start to work again.

 I have ruled out any issues with my phone and judging by the number of
 other users that are experiencing this problem it seems fairly
 widespread.

 My questions are as follows:

 1. Is Google aware of this problem?
 2. What is the reason for the blocking?
 3. Will it continue in the long term?

 I am really hoping to get an official statement on what is really
 going on.
 I would prefer if people didn't jump in and start suggesting VPN
 options, whilst I am familiar with some workarounds, I would prefer to
 understand the root of the problem and how it will effect Android in
 the long term in China.

 Thank you!

[android-developers] Re: Be Careful of Upgrading App with New SDK Version

2009-11-16 Thread siuying
You may use minSdkVersion=3, and within the code, use reflection or
other means to determine the capabilities of the device, and use only
supported API on the device. Check the android blog related post
(http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/backward-compatibility-
for-android.html) for details.

This mean extra works, and it seems the only way to go.

[android-developers] HTC Hero cannot search some applications found in Market

2009-09-30 Thread siuying

HI

Some of the users notified me that they were not able to find my apps
in Market, where me and others can. After some investigation, i found
that HTC Hero cannot see apps on Market that having Copy Protection
enabled.

This sound strange but we cant see any other cause that possible lead
this result. Some of the examples app are HKTV Guide (copy
protection enabled), Wand (no copy protection), Chm Reader (copy
protection), Bubbles (no copy protection) and AirPainter (copy
protection).

Would you know if this is limit of Hero, or a bug, or a parameter or
something else? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
siuying

Android comes with a powerful browser, however, many sites are not
designed for mobile browsing. Wand transform web pages like Reuters,
Engadget, Slashdot, Digg and others into pages that are optimized for
mobile usage.

[android-developers] Re: Parse or not to parse?

2009-08-16 Thread siuying

I were doing this with #2, which is slower than I expected ... I have
yet to profile it, but with HTML file well under 10k it still take
significant time (10s seconds up).

You may try my app Wand 
http://blog.wandhub.com/2009/08/wand-is-available-in-android-market.html
and install the cheatsheet, it will loads a page, parse it, and
display list of hundreds of items.

   I guess to definitely answer this, one needs to run some benchmarks

   group of one or two level nested OL or UL within body tag and some
   DIVs)

   1. Using WebView/JS/CSS to customize and render HTML into list-like UI
   2. Parse HTML into ListAdapter and then use ListView to render it

   My experience with #1 shows that it is actually pretty slow. Weird
   thing is - once rendered - JS works quite well and fast it's really
   initial parsing and loading that produces the delay

  #2 will be limited by how clean your HTML is, unless you use TagSoup or
  something to parse it, and I have no idea if TagSoup or kin run on Android.
