Android :: About To Release First App To Market
May 17, 2010
I was wondering what people do to limit the phones that can purchase my app on Android Market. I image I can limit this to some extent by using the API levels in the manifest but can I limit my app to just Droid/Milestone? I have only tested the app on these phones so I can't be sure that it will work on others. There are known issues with the Milestone and choosing an OpenGL config, among other issues, that I had to work around so it's not unreasonable that other phones can have similar issues. Also how do you do dynamic licenses via http post?

What percentage of users are going to have 1.1 upgrade? Don't want to be flooded by 1 star feedbacks!

I have recently updated about 10 apps manually that I already had on my G1, since I saw them relisted in the market (again) but higher up on the "by date" tab.This system is horrid.If a user has an app and a new release comes online it should not only notify the user it should offer to auto update and the first screen that pops up should be a release notes screen so we know why it was updated and what to look for.Another more minor annoyance is that devs seems to lose track of download counts and comments in new vers. This is much more minor, but useful to both the community and the device.If anyone from Android peeks in here, hopefully this makes a list of suggested improvements.

Been using SwiftKey beta since Swype stopped working consistently and I got a notice this to upgrade to a final version (directly in advance of the Market release next week. It's definitely worth and it's learned my input habits so I hit just one button for most words. Just thought I'd let other users know.

I uploaded a new release of my app.
I downloaded the new version from the Market to try it out and I got the new binary, it also state V1.3.0, which is the new version. The description is from the release before that.
Very strange. When looking at http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.newsrob I see the old version V1.2.1 and the old description.
When looking at a G1 where the old version is installed it doesn't provide me with the option to upgrade it.
I followed the same steps as the weeks before. The Market has changed and I could use new options (DRM, not paid as I am not from the US/UK), but I kept the old options.
Meanwhile the old description is also in the developer's console (which I will change again right away), but it says 1.3.0 and when re-uploading the apk it says "The new apk's versionCode (130) in AndroidManifest.xml must be higher than the old apk's versionCode (130).", which is fine, well kind of.

I want to release an app on the market. It uses nothing new from the 2.0 release like bluetooth for instance and it works well in every emulator using version 1.6 to 2.1.My question is upon version of the sdk should I distribute my application to make it compatible with all devices running 1.6, 2.0 or 2.1?I only have a physical device running 1.6 to test it, but as I say, it uses nothing fancy and works well on emulators using API levels 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Just a heads up - ADW Launcher (in my opinion the best launcher available) is now in the Market (free!)? Many bug fixes over the release candidates. Use it, love it, if you haven't tried it, GET IT!

I have a problem with firing an activity that extends MapActivity. When it gets called, it throws a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError... not sure what this is supposed to mean. I think something goes wrong with the external implementation of the maps API (maps.jar). Has anyone come across that problem? Here's the srack trace:

I am following the instructions on code signing on the Android Developer site, and it mentions that if you specify that you want to compile in Debug mode, it automatically signs the resulting file with a debug key. It also says that if you specify that Eclipse should compile in Release mode, that you can use the Export Wizard to generate a private key and handle the distribution signing.
Can someone point me to the setting in Eclipse for Release vs. Debug compiling. When I use the Export Wizard, I am only given the option to export unsigned. I am pretty sure I am stuck in Debug mode, since my app has no problem running in the emulator or my tethered G1.

I have a so called reliable resource who works in the T-mobile store, and so far he has been right about anything to do with G1. He predicted the OTA release, and that was right, but he has also said T- mobile will be releasing the cupcake to t-mobile customers in uk end of March. Of course all i/we can do is wait. if anyone has any information to back that claim it would be appreciated. I know there's loads of cupcake talk that has been going on for months. but i believe this is the real thing, else he wouldn't jeapordise these claims to get people to buy the G1 and then get hundreds of complaints if it didnt happen

I'm getting this error ( in the end of this post) which I guess I understand it's because I'm calling something after releasing it.. but I can't find a wy to work it around.I've tried all combinations.. I've tried: mCamera.setPreviewCallback(null); This class, where the surfaceview is implemented can be accessed by 2 different classes one that doesnt implement surfaceview and other that does the error just shows me when I go from the activity that uses the camera to the activity that also uses camera.I don't know what else to do.

It doesn't seems as if the the stop and release immediately terminates the audio played by the MODE_STREAM track. It looks like it finishes playing the rest of the buffer and then stops.

I want to release a demo version of my app. I added a restriction that the app could only be used 5 times by storing a counter in the db. However a user can easily uninstall and install the demo again! What the best way to manage this?

Is there a way to change free app into paid app in Market? I.e. you release com.foo.xxx as free but later you'd like to charge for app and drop free version completely.. I do not see anything like this in Market console at the moment. I know I can release com.foo.xxx.pro for example but my intention would be to keep package name as is so current users would see there's upgrade available. Alternatively, if there's no way to do that can I completely remove app from market so com. would be reusable for other app?

All I'm baffled as to how this Market works. I was expecting a different version of the Market by now but things still seem awry. Say I have two apps - one free, one paid. I release updates to both. The free one is at the top of the list, but the paid one is down in the depths of the list. That kind of sucks. Is this really how it works? Or is something temporarily broken.

I'm trying to figure out a way to programmatically determine if my build was built in debug mode vs. release mode. I'd like to hide some items in my settings screen if it's release. When I build my app in Eclipse I'm building by default in Debug mode. However, when I build the app using the command line, I build it in release mode and sign the app using the jarsigner tool.
I've tried using:
PackageInfo appInfo = manager.getPackageInfo("com.adobe.psmobile", PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);
to test if
appInfo.signatures[0].toCharsString()
matches my debug signature and that didn't seem to work.
I'm now trying to see if I can introspect the app's KeyStore, to match the default debug alias described here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html of "androiddebugkey"
but I haven't figured out how to retrieve the app's KeyStore yet.

I created an application which is displaying camera preview. When the application terminates I noticed that some processes are still running. Also if I try to run the original camera application it displays an error (obviously due to the active process which belongs to the custom application).
Does anyone know how to release all resources when application ends?

I can't find a tutorial online that gives me the step by step process on how to generate a suitable key using the keytool in the JDK.
This: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html
Talks about it and gives commands, but it doesn't actually say where and in what folder to key in the commands. I am sure I am missing something easy here, but could anyone guide me to where I need to start with this?

I created an application which uses camera and during the appplication execution the screen is always on.
In the onCreate() method I added the lock code...
But after the application termination the screen remains on all the time and if I run the camera application it encounters an error which obviously appears because the camera resources are not released.
Does anyone know how to release all resources on application termination?

I used some of the code from the Android sdk examples.Legally I know apache is compatible with GPL3 (license for my code), but what do I do about the copyright notice in the code?Do I keep the "Copyright (C) 2009 The Android Open Source Project" and apache license and just indicate the content was changed.Has anyone dealt with this? The Legal dept has no clue.

Well, they officially were approved from Itunes (Apple) a little earlier today and it is live. What disappoints me is the fact that they said they submitted it to Android Apps but it doesn't take but a few hrs to go through Android submitting process. And this was a few days ago from what I understand. I wonder when we will get it. I've been waiting for it since they announced the release of the Apple version. From the reviews I've been reading on itunes they said fairly positive. Minor things here and there but overall they are saying the video quality isn't half bad. Not as great as facetime but hell I'm sure it's better then movicha and the other one.

After finishing my android application development I used the command showing below to get private key, but it shows some errors such as "The Keystore was tampered with or password was in correct".
$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore DEBUG.keystore
-alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
Is my problem with DEBUG.keystore? Should I need to generate another keystore for public release?

I want to release multiple applications to android marketplace which are all very slightly customized based on a code base. I can't just change the package indentifier in the AndroidManifest.xml file because several other things dependet on this like action identifiers and so on.
What is the best approach to release several apps based on one eclipse project with the same code base?

Is it possible to automatically detect, which certificate was used for signing APK? I'd like to have both debug and release Maps certificates in application and pass valid one to MapView constructor.
With such setup I will not make mistake while releasing application - I'm using debug certificate on emulator and my device, then sign with release one before sending app to Market.
I was thinking about detecting my particular device or whether debugger is connected but it is not perfect. Maybe some file marking need for debug certificate? Is there any better way?

In Android is there a way to disable logs/stacktrace being printed when the application is code signed and is in release mode. Is there any direct way to do it?
In Iphone i heard the logs will not be printed in release mode by default.

This might change some people minds. Sony Ericsson X10 2.1 update release date (supports multi-touch after all!) . It doesn't seem categoric, but it sure sounds exciting. I have to say that an X10 with 2.1 and multi-touch would be the best Android phone this year!
