Can I use any Android Phone for app development? Here in the Philippines, there are many available mobile phones with Android installed. But I want to buy the cheapest phone available (which I think is Samsung i5500 Galaxy 5).

I will have to develop some android applications. Witch mobile phone is better for application development :
Google Nexus One / Htc Droid Incredible / Htc Evo 4G / Motorola Droid ?I have to develop on Android 2.1 and 2.2. All those devices will have the update I think.
I've been teaching myself Java over the last few weeks. I already know several OOP languages, so i was not too complicated. I have just learned some basic Swing and I now want to develop a simple app. How do I use Android-style Swing and custom graphics to do this?

I installed ECLIPSE,android SDK, NDK, ADT. I created an android application. I converted android application into c/c++ application. I set ndk-build as build command, but i am getting ndk-build path not found. I already set the path in the environment variable before build the project.
I find there was many discussions about the Style Guide when Android was still in Beta and RC. Now Android 1.0 has been released. The new release cupcake also went out. I am curious about whether Google has a plan to release a Style Guide for Android app development.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tend to believe that developing mobile applications in an enterprise environment is best suited by developing intranet web applications. That said I have been asked to think about whether there are specific enterprise applications that could only be accomplished or would be more successful as native applications. I am curious as to what the Stack Overflow community thinks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFirst and foremost, are there many android developers here? Is this a good place for Android related discussions?I seem to be missing a rather large concept of Android development. The gist is I am struggling understanding how to tie an application together. I'm not sure how to explain it, so I thought I would do my best with an example from the Android ApiDemo... assuming you are familiar with it.
Inside the com.example.android.apis.view namespace of the ApiDemo, there is a class called Animation3.java.Animation3 inherits the activity class and there is some code inside to display animation.I can't find a reference to the class (Animation3) anywhere in the demo code (except for its definition obviously). The only mention I found is in the manifest xml file. So how the heck does this activity get started? Don't we need to create an instance of the class somewhere and fire off a method to start it? I don't understand how to generate the code that ultimately glues this class to the rest of the application.Additionally, what about other classes like views or viewgroups? How do I generate code outside the class that initiates/starts/uses/calls (insert proper term) the class.I would appreciate any code examples as well as any concept explanation or reference documents. So far I've read pages and pages on activities and views but I'm really struggling how to tie things together.
I normally frequent the Nexus One forum, but have had to crawl my way out from there to come ask the wider Android community a question.
I'm about to apply for a mobile application development role and was wondering if any of you guys knew an approximate number of Android users (or point me in the direction of somewhere that might have the info). I was about to write something along the lines of the Android market allowing developers to easily (hum, that's an opinion there! ) share their creations with <insert amount here> Android users around the world, but realized I had no idea.
I'm on developing a twitter kind of Application where in I want that the user would be displayed the timelines and the Textview in the Lists require to perform clicks on (http://)URLs, (@)usernames, and (#)hasTags and I want to invoke custom methods over these actions, I have used the Linkify class and the actions but where of no use because the customization that i require cannot be incorporated.

View 25 Replies View RelatedI am developing droid apps with eclipse (new to both) and have a basic Layout question. When using the layout tab (rather than the coding tab) in my main.xml, I am trying to create a home screen for when my app opens.
There is going to be the logo at the top center, then 3 simple buttons below, all centered. How do I go about formatting the Logo so it maintains a size relative to the person's screen size, and stays in the center?
I don't want to write sloppy code to where my program looks fine (UI wise) on my screen and is poorly formatted on other's screens. Also, is there good documentation explaining all of the Property values in the layout view?
A lot of open source libraries that aid in Android application development have sprung up with time. IMO looking at source code of good projects helps learn the system better, faster and not to mention reduces development time. Is there a recommended list of such projects or if not, can we build such a list? I think it will really be useful to other developers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt is a common thing to add a color name and a color RGB value in a config xml file for developing an Android application. It is boring sometimes for example, when I want to add color pink, I had to find some tool to show me what the exact RGB value for it and then fill it in that xml file. Is there a common color file including all common colors for Android application development? I am wondering is there any predefined color file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed a custom ROM in my phone.
What I noticed is that the problem is either that my phone drivers can't be installed for some reason (I have a SGS being treated as a Google Nexus S), or I just can't implement applications.I mean that when I try to build an application on Eclipse, my phone is not recognized, like I don't have it plugged in.
I have an HTC dev phone but from what I can see on the HTC dev site (http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#overview) the latest version they list for flashing is 1.6. Anyone has any experience with these phones and whether a later (2.1 or 2.2) image can be found and flashed on them?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been developing applications for a long time now, but now I want to jump into Phone applications development. There are four main candidates:
Nokia's Symbian
Apple's iPhone
Google's Android
Microsoft Windows Mobile Phone
considering documentation, market, samples and availabilty of emulators, I'm not a millionaire so I can't buy it unless I know it would mean profits!
I don't have much preferences as for languages, but to stay within C# would be nice, however I've been thru Assembler for a long time, so it's hard to scare me.
I am writing an application that initially will be developed as web (probably Silverlight) and Android application. I found on Android website that SQLite is supported, but I plan to release the same app for Windows Mobile, Palm Web OS and iPhone as well.Could you please advice me on which database would be the best to work with for all platforms?EDIT:Maybe I should add that I would want all applications (mobile/desktop) to connect to a main server when internet connection is detected and synchronize all data that's changed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there is something like 9-patch in Android, but for web development? Disclosure: I have no idea about web development at all, but I was curious to know if it exists. And a simple web search with the term 9-patch didn't bring up any related results, so I figured it has either another term or it doesn't exist or is not used widely enough.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using my G1 under Windows 7 64-bit and Eclipse just fine.
However, when using my new Nexus One instead - and making sure that 'Use Debugging' is enabled - the Nexus One is not recognized and debugging on this phone is not possible.

How can I start using the Nexus one as a development device (on Eclipse)?
I'm just getting started with Android app development on a Mac, and I keep getting a NullPointerException everytime I go into Strings.xml to edit it. Here's the steps I followed - The project compiles and runs fine, but if I add even a single character to Strings.xml, a popup comes up that says - "An error has occured. Please see the log for details. An error has occured. Please see the log for details." When I click details, all I see is - "An error has occurred. See error log for more details. java.lang.NullPointerException" Anything I'm missing completely? Code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know many developers ask about the best Android phone for development, but my question is almost opposite: What is the least expensive Android phone that I can get away with TTS (text-to-speech) and ASR (automated-speech-recognition) software development?
To further clarify my question:
Do all Android phones support
TTS and ASR?
Do all Android OS versions
support TTS and ASR?
If the answer to either of the above
is 'No', then which brand/model will
provide me with TTS and ASR functionality
while minimizing out-of-pocket
expense?
I am an iPhone user but looking into developing android apps. As a web developer I feel apps are something I need to be involved in. My next step is to purchase an android power mobile for testing etc... My budget is low as I will be buying this phone aswel as my current iPhone contract so a max of 20/mo for a contract phone (my gt will use the phone and messages etc...) What budget android is best for development?
I have been offered the samsung galaxy portal and the HTC wildfire for 20/month on '3'.
I've been told to go with htc as it was deeloped for android rather than samsungs phone which just has android on it.
From an app developers point of view, what phone shall I choose?
I want to get into trying my hand at Android software development. What is the developer phone in terms of ease of development, debugging features etc. that's out there? It should also be a good phone too, as I'd want to use it as my primary phone.
