Android market refuses to accept my upgrade because it is signed by a new certificate.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently published our app to the marketplace and enabled copy protection. The app shows up when browsing the market on the Motorola Droid and others but does not appear when browsing with either the HTC Evo or Droid Incredible. Is this due to the copy protection? I'd like to keep my app copy protected but would like to make it available to customers of these two devices. Is this a bug or expected behavior and what are my options?

It is concerning me that they have supplied me with a re-worked/repaired phone that someone else has used previously.
There are about 10 contacts that show up, all are linked to google, not on the phone memory or sim memory. Numbers from friends, to "moms".
UK, American and local SA numbers.
I have published a free app on the android market. I want to edit the description and add a couple of screen shots. While the "Upload Aplication" screen on http://market.android.com/publish lets me make these changes & saves them too, they don't show up in the description of the app when I go the android market. Do I have to unpublish & republish the app (in which case I might run into version issues)? Or else, how do I make these changes to description appear on the android market?

Package file was not signed correctly
I first published the packet using eclipse, right click export, creating a keystore then publishing, however it refuses to work.
I then downloaded the keytool and jarsigner and used them to sign an upgrade which I posted instead. However this gives the same error.
And since I cannot delete the application I cannot try and start again,
I published the rest service.. but the android app is showing null pointer exception.. but if it access my local machine's service its working well.. the service hosted has anonymous access..

Our first stab at a game was just published to the Android Market. It's a fun and (hopefully) mildy addicting game where you match a list of game pieces to those bouncing around on the game board. The faster you do it, the more points and time you get, and as you clear the list the next level requires more pieces. We decided to post two versions of the game, Kromium is the full version, containing unlimited levels, difficulty settings (adjusts time and score bonuses), and the ability to enter your name for high scores. The free version (Kromium Lite) is the same concept, but is ad supported, only allows one loop through the levels, no difficulty adjustment, and generic high scoring. Here's a link to the free version: Feedback on the game in general would be great, as well as the split of functionality between the versions. Additional features and suggestions are certainly welcome. Feel free to comment on here or in the market.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am been working a on an an android app called Inomail that is available on the android market. I have done an overhaul changing the background colours, buttons to blue and green neon colours, change all icons and change text such app name plus other strings elsewhere.
Everthing work fine and I am certain it will be popular download if published.
I have been using APK Manger and Eclipse and Java decompilers to convert smali to java codes.
I successfully signed with a private key and it worked but this the obvious problem renaming the package when changing it crashes. I done everthing including refactoring and renaming in Eclipse, also renamed all the package name to all sub packages but to no avail.
If rename tthe package name back to original name it works but changing it crashes.
Now I have done some search on here there also a code to the package name which the reason for it to crash and the best way it to use a rooted device which I have and install the app.
So my 2 questions where is the folder on smartphone would I find the file or code how to manage to rename package published app on the market and how?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a background image (full screen) and want to create an exact layout, which fits this background-image. The buttons and labels have to be at an exact place of the background-image. How can I do this? The absolute-layout is deprecated. If I use relative layout, I can use margins, but the positions differ from device to device. The best thing is if I could set the exact positions as percent of the total view size. How can I do this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI was hoping someone could give me instructions to obtain the *exact *source code for the current SDK. What I have so far is as discussed here; http://androidforums.com/android-developers/1045-source-code-android- By using commands such as; repo init -u git://android . git . kernel .org/platform/manifest.git -b android-sdk-1.5_r3 jar cvf ../android-src.jar -C core/java . etc. my issue is that the source is still inconsistent, some extra methods are available and some are not. For example, I want to make a progress bar with two sliders (To select a range) but the version of Progress bar I have; http:// android .git.kernel.org/?=platform/frameworks /base.git;a=blob ;.http://android .git.kernel .org/?p=platform/ frameworks /base.git;a=blob;> I cannot mimic (as an initial implementation), despite using the same package and extending View I do not have access to 'mMinWidth' for example. In addition the progress bar uses methods of the class StateList Drawable which are not available in this SDK (e.g. getStateSet(int i)). It's obvious that there's an inconsistency between the source I have and that which was compiled into the android SDK but I don't know why given my GIT repo commands. Can someone link to the version of ProgressBar which was shipped with android-sdk-1.5_r3? Has anyone managed to get the branch which maps directly to this release? This might well be due my inexperience with Git, please let me know if anyone has this set up correctly and I will try again. I seem, in all honesty, to have the head revision still.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAs said in the Android Reference, the method getAccuracy() of android.location: "Returns the accuracy of the fix in meters. If hasAccuracy() is false, 0.0 is returned." But what does that mean exactly? The diameter or the radius? The Circular Error Probable (CEP), the 95-percentile or something else? I hope they are of the same type in GPS and GSM positioning. Does somebody know where these information are given into the system? As far as i know, are the GSM coordinates returned by a hidden Google API over a Web Service. So no chance to see an exact calculation. But where is the Accuracy of GPS calculated. I thought the GPS receiver only returns a dimensionless DOP value. And with Android 1.5 its not posible to read the NMEA sentences directly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there XML attribute that does the exact opposite of android:dependency? What I would like the dependent preference to be enabled when the other is not checked and disabled when it is checked. Maybe the issue isn't with android:dependency maybe there is an xml attribute that I can add to make the default for that preference disabled and then android:dependency will toggle it the opposite way like I want. I tried setting android:enabled="false" in the preference and it disables it like I want but even with it being dependent on the other preference it didn't enable it like I had hoped.
