Android :: Android Id Naming Convention - Lower Case With Underscore Vs Camel

Dec 2, 2009

I'm currently programming an application for the Android. Now what I found out is that you cannot place resource objects, say, an image in the drawable folder and name it like "myTestImage.jpg". This will give you a compiler error since camel case syntax is not allowed, so you'd have to rename it like "my_test_image.jpg".
But what about ids you define in the XML file. Say you have the following definition

<TextView android:id="@+id/myTextViewFirstname"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Firstname" />

This is a valid definition, compiles and works just fine on my Android emulator although - as you see - I'm specifying the id in camel case syntax. Now, the Android samples always use lower case and underscore. Is this just a naming convention to use lower case with underscore for the id's or may it cause problems on the real device?

LG Eve : How Does Album Thumb Naming Convention Work?

Jan 6, 2010

Can anyone help with album covers? I have one album that shows up with its cover in the default music player. I assume that is because it is included in one of the tags information, I added covers to other albums tag info using windows media player and the advanced tagging option (method found in other forum for other lg phone) but the covers still don't show up when I put the albums back on my phone. Does anyone know which tag the music player is reading? There is also a folder (albumthumbs) that showed up on my sd card once I copied the album thats artwork does work to my phone, and in it is a file without an extension (this is obviously the cover for the one working album). Can I add jpgs to that folder or something and how does the album thumb naming convention work?

Android :: Java Package Convention

Sep 24, 2010

I'm developing an Android project which currently has 4 packages:

com.myapp.app.activities
com.myapp.app.db
com.myapp.app.ws
com.myapp.app.utils

Would I be able to create an additional package which is just com.myapp.app. Eclipse isn't letting me create this package. It tells me a package with this name already exists. If I start a new project and create a package called "com.testing.app" and then create a new package called "com.testing.app.activities" afterward, it works fine.

For Android developers: What I'm wanting to do is extend the Application class and have it in a separate package. Suppose com.myapp.app can't be used, what's a good name for this new package?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Convention For US Android Fans

Mar 3, 2010

I thought might be cool and am looking to see if there would be any interest and if so some feedback. Every year there's always massive conventions in the electronics industry as well as every other industry involving big players. However, there's never been anything specifically involving people just getting together that are enthusiasts of the same thing. I know there are car clubs that do this for example but not phone enthusiasts. So, I was thinking what about something for Android enthusiasts. This doesn't mean specifically Hero owners but any Android user's across the board. Call me a dork but it would be neat to meet some of the people I've talked to on these forums in person just to hang out for a while. Maybe there would even be a possibility of getting some industry interest from the big boys such as if Sprint, HTC, Google wanted to have reps there just to talk and answer questions.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a convention so to speak but an organized way of getting together to share your interests with other people like you do on here, but instead in person for a day. I unfortunately don't have the means to actually rent out a place to make this happen nor do I have the connections to get any major players interested but that doesn't matter. It could start small and get bigger if there's enough or any interest.

I definitely don't have all the answers on this nor know exactly how it could happen which is why I'm turning to you guys. Maybe there are some of you that would like the idea and then it would be a matter of figuring out where geographically it would happen and when. If anyone is truly interested I would be happy to discuss ideas further via email or phone just post on here first.

Android :: Package Naming / Renaming?

Oct 21, 2009

I am trying to do an update to an app that was released under 1.0 about a year ago. When it was released, I used the package naming convention: "com.android.myApp". At the time, I thought this was the correct naming convention. In retrospect, this is not the case. The AndroidMarket does not accept new apps with "com.android" package names, so I am assuming the way I did it is frowned upon/disallowed. So my question is two-fold. #1: What is a correct method for selecting package names? I have started using a convention "com.myAppClass.appname". Where "myAppClass" is a arbitrary name that applies to a group of related apps and "appname" is the specific application (e.g. "com.mycategory.appDemo" and "com.mycategory.appFull"). Is this right? #2: What do I do about the app already released as a "com.android" package? My assumption is to recreate it using the above convention. What will the effect be on users who want to upgrade the application through the market or will the market even accept an upgrade version using a different package name?

Android :: Naming ID In Phone Applications

Nov 24, 2010

If you are developing Android application, you will encounter such a id naming in xml files of view and layouts :

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/new_game"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_new_game"
android:title="@string/new_game" />
<item android:id="@+id/quit"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_quit"
android:title="@string/quit" />
</menu>

and I am really wondering why such naming is applied to ids. It is because of Linux? What kinda meaning this naming --@+id/...--has? When I am looking at android:icon attribute I can interpret that it means ic_new_game is located under drawable folder and @ means "located at" or I just assume that. But naming id attributes are kinda different because they also have + sign. Can somebody help me understand this convention?

Android :: Private Fields Naming Guidelines

Jan 25, 2010

Here http://source.android.com/submit-patches/code-style-guide#shortmethods it is stated that :

"Field Names
* Non-public, non-static field names start with m.
* Static field names start with s.
* Other fields start with a lower case letter.
* Public static final fields (constants) are ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES.

also states that : "The rules below are not guidelines or recommendations, but strict rules. You may not disregard the rules we list below except as approved on a need-to-use basis." I don't like the "m" convention before private or package fields in a class... I really find this uninspired. I mean, if we try to apply good designs, the low coupling of the classes implies having few public fields. actually, in my programs I usually have no public fields, even when I need some I use getters and seters. so, why should I be forced to have almost all my fields in the program with an "m" in front of them? wouldn't be easier to have the few public fields, if there are any, with some "g" in front or something? or just use setters and geters as beans suggest? this really makes my code harder to read. also, following these guidelines, local temp variables used in the methods have no restriction so they could easily be mistaken for public global fields (also without restriction). this also I find to be wrong, as it is a probable source of mistakes. I understand to have a way of differentiating from fields, but private/protected member fields are the most used in an application, they shouldn't be less "readable". what do you think? should I follow the guidelines?

Games :: Camel Games Blow Up / Flight Director Are Free?

Sep 21, 2010

It appears Camel Games is now giving these three games away. I'm also left wondering what happened to their other games such as Super Tumble, as only the Lite version is left. Maybe that's going free, too? Hyper Jump is also missing from my latest search (whereas the Lite version is there). I'm somewhat in shock as these are some quality games!? Hopefully we'll find out the full story soon.

Android :: Naming Phone - Natural Voice Protocol

Dec 21, 2009

I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to name your phone. For example lets say i named my Droid. Optimus Prime And then i could use voice protocol after saying my phone's name For example Optimus Prime please text autobots (contact group), "Autobots Transform and roll out!" After saying its name the phone would automatically know that Autobots is a contact group and that the message i want texted is "Autobots Assemble!" Is there an app like this already? If there isn't it would be a great idea for one.

Android :: Way To Check API Compatibility Of App For Lower Levels?

Oct 8, 2010

I'm developing an Android app which will target 2.1/2.2 devices, so I have my project set up to use the 2.2 SDK (API level 8), but allow for installation on devices with at least API level 7. The problem is that during my daily development, I'm not always paying close attention to which API level of the methods/classes/constants that I'm using, which makes it very easy to break code on older devices. I have got dynamic classloading working, and as much as I dislike having a ton of extra factory classes and interfaces in my project, I'm willing to deal with that solution. Currently, the only way I have to check an older API level is to set my project's settings to the given level, rebuild, see what breaks, and then refactor. It's quite a pain. What I would really like is the ability to scan my code and check compatibility for a given API level without changing my global project build settings. Is there some easy way to do this?

Android :: Route Planner Apps For 1.6 Or Lower?

Jun 30, 2010

I am thinking about getting a tablet instead of a netbook (Eken M001 has 1.6) which i need for mostly working out my routes in the morning since I work for a delivery company. Right now I have to come home to use autoroute on my PC but this takes me an hour to get home and back again taking an hour out of my journey so a tablet would be a perfect alternative. I live in the UK so need an autorouter for me that works offline. Does any such app exist or should I get a netbook?

Basically I just need to enter a bunch of postcodes and it tell me the quickest order in which to goto them to save time in my day but going home to get them is kinda against the whole point of saving time.
