I have some quetions: Should I buy any license to distribute my applications? Which profit from the sale of applications?
I am adding a menu option in my newest application that will allow users to view all of our other applicatiosn we've published to the market place. The problem we are having is we created a second more business like developer account, but want to let users also see all of our old apps. I know how to have the search point to one developer, i.e. pub:<developer name>, but does anyone know of a way to have it search multiple? So that when they click the button all the apps from the older developer we had along with the newer business developer we created?

I'd love a feature where you could block every app from that developer but I wouldn't know how or who to contact to ask if it could be implimented.
As far as I know, the Market isn't a part of the open source components in Android and is Google's property but does anyone know if there is a contact email address for the android market developers so I could ask if such a feature could be added?
If I see another miniskirt touch game by that arsehole I'll probably end up snapping my nexus one in rage.
Edit: Doh, the feature requests forum is here: Feature Requests / Suggestions - Android Market
As Google's current support for paid apps in the Android Market is limited to the US market only (and even on the US market, would not support ADP1 phone), I really think you guys should stop posting your apps in there. Please make yourself a favor being able to reach the whole world and post your apps on androidgear or SlideMe or handango.

WHy Is the market so bad. It's such a pain in the as#.Yes I know its being vamped in the next ROM update, but for now search for a word 8 results found.Would it be too much to ask to show me the 8 results found rather then showing me a error asking me to check my spelling. Try another key word or be more general?I already know there are 8 results why can't i see them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have updated my android application with android:installLocation="auto" in the manifest. If I install it on my N1 via the USB cable, it works and allows me to move the application to my SD Card. However, I have a friend that has downloaded the application through the market, and the option is grayed out for him even though it is the same version of the APK. We uninstalled the market version and installed it through the USB cable and he had the option to move the app to the SD Card. We uninstalled and reinstalled the market version, and again it was grayed out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you improve the position of an app in Android Market search results? The apps don't seem to be sorted on downloads.
The scope of this question is limited to working with the Android Marker search engine, of which there's little or no information. I changed the title to make it clearer.
I downloaded the sdk and added the library to my workspace, then the sample for market licensing. The sample app seems to force close somewhere after/during the instantiation of LicenseChecker. I tried running on the emulator with Google API 8 and on a droid x with froyo and it force closes. The stack shows PerformLaunchActivity as the top item. Both emulator and phone had a registered gmail account. how to get this to work?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTo pretty up the URL we have on our site a URL /get/g1. It redirects to our market.android.com/search URL, eg http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:ourappname.
However, going to that link in the G1 browser results in a 404 instead of opening the Market to our app.
Questions: 1. Is this a known issue? 2. Does the browser preprocess links on the page but not intercept them in a redirect?
My sim card has been blocked on the ATT side from using data (company pays for our wireless on the condition that data is blocked). That said, I have been unable to use Android Market at all because of it. At least, that's what I think the problem is. I know my sim is not data provisioned but shouldn't Android Market work over wifi exclusively?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHas anyone noticed that when you do a search for a specific app it will say "X amount" results for "(whatever you searched for)" sometimes it wont load the number of apps it found for what I searched for. I have to perform another search for something else and try it again before it will display the apps results.

However it's work correctly on Fire-Fox browser. I don't know how to report this issue to Chromium developing team, please help me to report this issue.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for some fellow developers to build a few applications that work together to allow the android phone to take advantage of cheap telephony services provided over the internet. These are sms, voip, calling cards and similar such services.I have been investigating this quite a bit and developing an app to work with PennyTel but i have discovered an issue with the Android OS. Android is not designed to let you replace low level systems in your app and there for there is no way to capture out going sms etc. This means that to write an app that sends all out going sms via pennytel is impossible and that the only way around this is to write your own sms client like ChompSMS and i am sure this will apply to other parts of the phone as well.What i am looking to do is make a reusable system that uses intents to do things. A complete sms application that uses an intent to send the sms so that more sms providers can be added later, a dialer and outgoing call system that will fire an event for another app to make the call etc.What I want is sever apps that use intents not just to open their app but also to choose the outgoing their service uses. personally i want to write one of the outgoing paths and i am looking for some developers who would be interested in writing the more front end apps like the dialer and sms applications.If anyone is interested let me know as it is just too much work for one person and i am sure your apps will be used by many people as more and more people could right services they could be hooked into.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way of hiding specific app developers that you don't link on the market?
E.g. if one developer has made thousands of sound board apps or themes for an app that I won't be using - I could hide that developer and wouldn't see his/her apps on the market?
If this is possible, I think it would make the market much less annoying when you have to scroll through hundreds of sound boards and app themes.
This would be some excellent support for the faithful Android developers. I have eight apps but live in Canada so I haven't been permitted to post them on the Market yet. Still I'm hoping Google might take this into account for Canadian developers who can't yet meet the sales criteria. I applied anyway and hope Google will respond so I can begin mobile testing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it just an impossibility to do?I have no idea about these things, but I guess if it is possible it would have been done already, no? I haven't taken the plunge to root, and not sure if I will and the instructions for screen shot on Droid are basically chinese to me because I have no skill when it comes to this sorta thing.I just want an app that will take a screenshot without root.People like me would pay for an app like this. You could make killer money guys, come on!
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been using the G1 for a while now and have been quite happy with it except that it only goes up to 1.6. In order to develop on 2.1 and beyond, I need to upgrade to a newer phone. I'd like to continue it using the new dev phone as my personal phone as well which limits it to AT&T for me. Seems like my only choices, according to http://www.google.com/phone, are nexus one, samsung captivate or HTC aria. Are all 3 good developers phones? Should I look for an unlocked droid instead? The nexus looks great but at it's a bit steep considering I'll probably need an android tablet for development as well soon. BTW, any thoughts on what would be a good developers tablet and when they might be available.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just integrated AdMob into my app. I noticed that in South Korea, there were 24 clicks, but that I only got 7 cents off of those clicks. In Malaysia, there was one click that generated 11 cents, and in Japan there were 2 clicks that generated 0 cents Does anyone know how this works? Also, does AdMob or Google AdSense generate more money?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know this is a developer site. BUT, and I think the moderators and fellow responders would agree: developers these days are usually also the people that market their product. Especially if you're an independent one-man-team like myself. So I think this can be a relevant question on stackoverflow: I'm wondering what resources you have used to promote and market your mobile app? Or if you can give some tips or recommendations, links, etc?
