So, I'm new to developing apps (altogether) and I thought that it would be fun to start out on the Android. I did the test with "HelloAndroid" app, but I have no clue on how to run the app on my phone via Eclipse. I remember reading about it a long time ago (sometime in February) but I have no idea where to find it.

Follow the HelloAndroid Tutorials by use Eclipse. After run HelloAndroid, the AVD 'xian_avd2' lunched, but stop there, no " Hello, Android". displayed on AVD. Looks like Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched...
Not know how to resolve this,

I am trying to built my first app in Android
Problem :helloandroid application is not getting displayed in emulator menu . but this app is getting instaled , i am able to uninstall the application from emulator. settings>applications>manage applications>com.helloandroid its size is showing 20.00kb
CODE:............................
i need my app to support 1.5 and above. i noticed that if I create my build.xml file using --
c: oolsandroid2.0r3 oolsandroid update project --name MyProject -- path C:MyProject --target 2
it complains about my resource directory names "res/drawable-hdpi, res/ drawable-ldpi, etc... res/layout-large, etc..." saying "invalid resource directory name".
If I use 1.6r1 tool set c: oolsandroid1.6r1 oolsandroid update project --name MyProject -- path C:MyProject --target 2
Everything works fine.
If I use target 3 (1.6 and above) c: oolsandroid2.0r3 oolsandroid update project --name MyProject -- path C:MyProject --target 3
Everything works fine. So, do I basically *have* to use 1.6r1 to build for 1.5? And does that mean that those special directory names will only work on 1.6 and above?
I've G1 dev phone. Earlier I upgraded it to 1.5 using HTC website. Now I want to customize (make some changes to ) source code and keep the changes running on G1 phone. I wanna go with cupcake release. Could any body please give me some pointers. If I download cupcake source code from android website and do 'make' for which target it will generate the images ?[Emulator or G1 phone etc.,]

I would like to create a library and include it in an application by specifying something like <uses- library android:name="com.foo.bar" /> in the manifest (just like maps) and have an Activity that can be inherited from like the MapActivity. How can one create and build a library like this?

I even changed ant to ant.bat at one place, android to android.bat at two places in ruby script. I also set target_id = 1 which is for 1.5 sdk.
When using an Android-generated ant build file, the file references your SDK installation via an sdk.dir property inside the local.properties files which is generated by "android update project -p .".
The comments in build.xml suggest that local.properties should NOT be checked into version control.
BUT, when you run your build from Hudson, it does a fresh checkout of your code from version control, hence local.properties does not exist and subsequently the build fails without sdk.dir being set. So its kind of chicken and egg problem. As a workaround I have checked local.properties into version control for now (nobody else will use it) but I was curious as to how other developers had tackled this problem ?
Solved this by following the instructions at http://www.mail-archive.com/android-porting@googlegroups.com/msg01340... Also realised - that looks like a more appropriate mailinglist too :)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm tinkering around with trying to build a speedometer using only the accelerometer for use when I go snowboarding. I can read values from the accelerometer but I'm not sure how I would derive the velocity. I was thinking of taking the square root of (X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2) where X, Y, and Z are the values reported by the accelerometer in each axis but that only would only give me the amplitude of acceleration at any given instant. I could multiple that by the sampling frequency to get my instantaneous velocity but this approach fails when I'm moving at a constant speed.

My aim is that I want to use my exiting code and make a build for new Android SDK's with changes in the resources and and some constant values is this task Possible with making a build using Ant and if by some other way. I have no idea about Ant and its functioning so it would very appreciable if minute details are also provided.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am doing a project where we have to use the Android Terminal Emulator. I downloaded the the Jackpal Android Terminal Emulator from github and using the instructions in the document to build the terminal emulator.
[code].....
I am having trouble installing the package in the first step itself, i.e. building the ndk shared libraries.
According to the instructions provided:
Build the shared library:
cd <the-android-terminal-emulator-directory>
<path-to-the-android-ndk>/ndk-build
Accordingly, I typed the following in my cmd
C:>cd androidterm
C:androidterm>android-ndk-r6b/ndk-build
I got the following error message:
'android-ndk-r6b' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am still learning Android and have never worked with the command line before. Is it a problem with the way I have typed the command?
When i try to clean and rebuild a project, eclipse hangs on the "building workspace" progress bar. the last thing i did was paste an image into a drawable folder - that caused a lockup and i forced eclipse close. now it's not rebuilding the project.

We're thinking about building light and paid versions of our app for the Market. But I am not clear what we need to do, or how to do it. (1) Do we definitely need the two versions to have different package names for the two builds ?It seems logical to do it that way, but I have not found a clear answer from Google to that question. Though I have found several people asking the same question. 2) Is there any support in Eclipse for building two similar apps with different package names from the same java and xml files ?In most of the IDEs I've used, it is a doddle to define multiple build targets for one project, but none of those mechanisms seem to be present here. And, the package name is embedded in every java file, as well as in many places in the manifest, leaving me without a tidy way to build to alternate package names.Is there a tidy way to build multiple version ? Or are we really going to end up copying the whole codebase and search-and-replacing the package name.

I saw an earlier thread from back in March about SVG being slow for the UI of apps, but I'd like to experiment with web content containing SVG, DOM manipulations, etc to see what the speed is like. Is it just a matter of turning on the compile flags for SVG support in Webkit or would there be a significant porting task?
