I just finished setting up my Eclipse with the Android plug-in. (i.e https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/). Now when I do the following:
1. Eclipse > Preferences > Android, I see a lot of "Target Name" like Android 1.1 - Android 2.1
However, in the book that I'm reading, I'm also supposed to see a "Target Name" called "Google APIs". I don't see that. Is that a separate install?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the Web When we apply the Map Keys, we need sumbit the URL of our sites. In the Google APIs Add-on , we need the MD5 of our soft to get the Map keys. but here is a big question.
1. MD5 is easy to be changed.
2. First I got the MD5 of my app ,and then submit, but when I add the new keys, if the MD5 is changed, there will have the problems of the martch.
3. what should I do?
I am developing maps application which has to support driving directions and route search and creation. But there is no API support in Android for this.
So i want to use google map APIs instead of Android APIs, Are there any APIs available for driving directions in google. If yes, What are those APIs, How can i use those APIs with Http request/response.
I read some where that earlier googlenav package was there in Android SDK, but it is now removed. May I know the reason for removal of this package, or When can i expect it to come back with fixed version of googlenav in Android? Looking forward to your reply.
Or is it essentially the same SDK/APIs as standard Android development?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm configuring a new machine for Android development and moving my current project over. I did a fresh install of all the Android tools and SDKs, and under "build targets", the Google APIs' target supports Android 2.2. Of course I need 1.5 as the base build target. My project doesn't build when I select that because the Google Maps stuff from maps.jar isn't there. In fact, after I did my full install I can't find maps.jar anywhere on my new machine. Is this jar file still required for Google Maps integration, or is it history? I'm using Eclipse 3.5. I guess I'd presume there would be a "google apis" for Android 1.5 build target. I'm thinking my install must be hosed; but maybe it's my understanding.. :)
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone had success using Google Data APIs Client Libraries. I can't seem to successfully use the GData Java client libraries in an Android app. I notice that there used to be some GData access classes in the Wireless packages that have been removed. Should I be using some map data classes in the com.google.android.maps classes I'm not seeing? I started to go down the path of accessing data through raw http calls, but it's a beating.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been reading the Terms of Service for the Google APIs, both Maps and AJAX APIs. I have questions regarding future consequences of using these APIs in mobile apps that get distributed, hopefully, to many thousands or millions of devices.
Both say that the services must be available for free, so I'm assuming that means you cannot charge a fee for an Android app that uses these services, unless you arrange something special with Google. Which appears to be Google Maps API Premier, an advanced service that uses a page-view-counter-based calculation to determine charges, and is not cheap. Which pretty much says you'd need to charge a subscription fee if you're going to charge at all. If you don't charge now and suddenly get hit with a bill from Google, your free app must remain free (according to Android Terms) so you're out of luck? I suppose it might be possible to include a Terms of Service with the application that says the user assumes all responsibility for any charges related to use of the Google APIs, but that doesn't seem likely to succeed. I think it would be difficult to manage. I also suppose that you could ask Google to block requests that use your API key until you can get a new version out with a fee attached.
Google also says they could charge for the use of the API in the future. This is stated specifically in the AJAX APIs doc, and indirectly in the Maps doc (Google can change the terms at any time). Since the API key that is used when calling APIs belongs to the Android developer, that tells me we could potentially be on the hook for Google charges. The Terms say that we can decide to stop using the APIs. Which is fairly easy when you're running a web site, much different when your application is deployed to thousands or millions of devices. Especially if you've distributed the application for free, and with an expiration date as required of later than October 22, 2033.
I'm nervous now about using Google APIs in Android apps and wondered if anyone else has thought about this. Should Google APIs be avoided? At least until developers have some legal protection?
I'm running Eclipse Ganymede on Ubuntu 8.04 and suddenly with no configuration changes as of yesterday am missing logging on the Console Window. I see startup logging when I launch an app but once launched there are no more lines of information. The buttons for Verbose etc are also missing. Log.v messages are not showing. Anyone else seeing this? I'm wondering if one of Ubuntu's updates screwed things up? I may try reinstalling the plug-in or even Eclipse but thought I would check here first.

Every app I make starts out with a number of common base classes, interfaces, utility classes and a basic package structure that has been working for me. Is there a way for me to set up a project template in Eclipse that will give me all of the basic Android project stuff PLUS a bunch of custom packages, classes and interfaces? I guess I could just put all of this stuff into one or more libraries as opposed to creating a whole project template, so if you have a preferred approach or information/links/etc on how to do any of the above, please share (I'm relatively inexperienced with Eclipse, so the more detail the better).

My HTC aria shows up when I run adb devices. It even shows the correct serial number. However, I can't find it as a target in eclipse. I am clicking on Run/Run Configurations. It brings up my project and a "target" tab. The emulator is the only thing listed, not my HTC aria.
Is there another step in setup that I have to do?
I am experiencing an annoying problem with an Android project in Eclipse. All my other Android projects are okey (at the moment). Whenever I perform a clean (Menu:Project->Clean...) the project gives an error and I can't compile/run the app. The error is: Project 'Project Name' is missing required source folder: 'gen'
As soon as I edit some code the problem disappears until I perform a clean again. I can also right-click on the gen-folder and delete it. Eclipse will recreate the gen-folder and the problem disappears until I perform a clean. This is not a showstopper but it is really annoying since I sometimes have to do a clean before I run the app.
Whenever I do a Clean on my project, I get 2 errors:
1.) The project is missing gen folder.
2.) There is a build path error.
I go to "Configure build path" and uncheck "Android 1.6". It works. If I do this again, I go and this time check "Android 1.6". It again works.
I can't seem to get anything back from https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ - even accessing from a browser just gives a 404.

I have several Google Calendars that I sync with my DROID Incredible running 2.1 update 1. One of my calendars recently quit showing up its data, although I have it selected on the phone AND all data displays fine on Google Calendars. I have tried reselecting some of the other calendars in case Android had a max number it would display. I have deselected and reselected the calendar on Google thinking that may refresh it but still no luck. Funny thing is, the calendar used to show up fine. Don't know when I lost it exactly. Any ideas?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI posted this in the HTC Desire Tips and Tricks forum but think that may have been the wrong place, so trying here.I entered a years worth (2011) of appointments in Google calendar; mainly on Sundays but a few other days as well.I then left the automatic sync with my HTC Desire to update the phone.I was then looking at the appointments when I noticed that some had not synced. These are all those whose date in 2011 is later than this years date e.g. an appointment in Google for Sunday 20th November 2011 has synced to my Desire but the appointment from 27th November 2011 has not;nor have those for the rest of the Sundays in 2011.Over the two last days I have also done several manual syncs and rebooted phone.Some weeks ago I entered an appointment for 2012 and this has synced. I also brought forward a lot of appointments from my Palm TX, most for 2010 but one for July 2015, and these all synced.
Today I added two more appointments. On before 24th November 2011 and one after; the one before synced but the one after did not. I have also deleted one of the missing appointments from Google and re-entered it; still not on my Desire even after a manual sync.Is it possible that the Desire has a limit of say the number of entries or only one years worth from today's date (that does not explain the 2012 and 2015 appointments synced at an earlier time!)This morning I entered a further appointment for today and that has synced to my Desire. The others still not have.I also sync Google Calendar to Outlook on my Desktop; this has synced correctly.
When I open my Instagram (using xperia ray latest Gingerbread stock ROM), and go to "Photo Maps", a dialog box appears saying "Photo Maps requires that the Google Maps Android API is installed on your device
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Google Maps and Instagram, I restarted my device too. But it doesnt solve the problem.
I tried checking /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar , I thought I lost this file but the file is there..
This is a rare problem and I only found 2 search results on Google about this problem, and both were found on XDA forum. One had his problem solved by placing this .jar file there. The other one tried placing the .jar file but no luck.
It's bothering me. Because I think it will affect other application that uses google maps. But I'm not sure. And I don't want to reinstall the whole ROM because I have partitioned my SD card, put many stuff in it, I dont want to start it all over just because of this small problem.
Here's the deal: I will be upgrading to the Droid X very soon. I know that when you setup the phone you have to tie it to a Google/gmail account, but what if my wife wants to check her email and stuff as well? She isn't going to have a smartphone of her own. Is there a way to designate an app or widget for her Google account on my smartphone? Or will she have to go through the browser every time and log-in?
