In terms of publishing apps for developers that reside in countries where they are not currently able to sell their apps via the Android Market, is this practice okay? Does it violate the Terms and Conditions of being a seller in any way?

Devs that are participating in the private beta of Flash for Android have been converting their apps from Air and Flash with great success. This will surely be a kick in the nuts for Apple, a well deserved one at that.Details here: Flash And Air Developers Port Existing Apps To Android In 10 Minutes, Give Feedback From The Private Beta Of Flash/Air For Android

Is it just me or are 99% of applications are very low resolution and all the pictures look very dull and fuzzy.
The new facebook update looks crisper, so the phone cleary has the capabilities but why aren't developers making apps to the highest resolution?

I am developing android applications. currently I have customized the sample softkeyAndroid project to include amharic language (Ethiopian language). The keyboard works well. But when I try to activate it from the setting (Local & Text) option, it displays some warning message that says "This input method may be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data like password and credit card numbers. ....".
I think this text is include for security purpose. But users may not be interested to use the keyboard. So my question is How can I remove this warning message to make the keyboard available for users (without payment). or is there anything that I have to consider while developing the application?

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.

Some of the developers of iPhone apps seem to be a little complacent with developing counterpart apps for the Android Market. Maybe if we inundate them with requests and show them how high the demand is, they'll get off of their keysters and start with the Android development. To make this easier for us all, I've compiled a list of some of the most popular iPhone apps that don't have an Android version yet, along with the email addresses, twitter accounts, and 'contact us' sites that you can all use to contact the developers to simply say "We want an Android app!" Just like money, demand talks. Plus, every new app we get (or at least get someone to get started on) is one less thing the Apple fan boys can brag about!
Please feel free to add any apps you would want to see (like IMDB for instance).Make sure you include the corresponding contact info. I'm hoping the Moderators will make this a sticky thread.As I was developing this list, I was going to include eBay, since they did not have an official Android app...that is until I saw it in the Market a couple days ago! The apps are coming, we just have to keep pressing people for them.

As phones like the Desire can be online a lot, should we all be using Internet firewalls to prevent unwanted attention from hackers, etc.?

have recently received Hero (Orange UK) as upgrade.Followed the incredibly helpful Tips & Tricks thread to get phone set up at it's best.Have been very impressed with phone, but have come across problem that's puzzling me. Have been trying to download FingerPlay MIDI from the market, but can't navigate to download page on phone. Have downloaded various other apps from market successfully. Contacted developer who has been very helpful & he's done all possible at his end to make app visible. Have read some threads regarding visibility of certain apps in market & problem with Orange network. Does anyone know if this is still an issue? Could any other Orange UK customers take a minute to see if they can see FingerPlay MIDI in market?As long term MIDI music user this is an app I'd love to try.

What possible reason could there be for you to code your apps so that they switch on in the background when the phone is turned on and use up precious battery life?
Or, why would you code your apps to stay on after I, the user, have hit the back button because I no longer want your app to run?
I mean, REALLY! Yes, I own up to being a newbie Android user, and what I don't know could fill the Library of Congress. Still, this is common sense we're talking about here. I've done some industrial app development and Enter/Exit, On/Off are basic pieces of logic in the main loop of an program in any language.
The only reason that we phone users need task killer apps is because you developers insist on creating apps that don't know when the f**k to turn themselves off.
And, it seems to me like you, the app developers, are one of the main reason why these phones have such crappy battery life. I mean, my Samsung Instinct, as bad as it was, got 18 to 24 hours of life off of one charge. With the Hero, I'm lucky if I can get 10 hours, and that's even with configuring my email download to only three times per day!
This is not hard, people. You code the app to stay off until, I, the user, manually turn it on. AND, you also code it to turn off when I, the user, hit the back button.
Yes, I understand that there are certain apps that it is advantageous to keep running in the background. So, fine, make it so those keep running. BUT, there is no possible reason for apps like Flashlight, or BBC News, or Camera, or SprintTV to have to run all the time in the background!
I am so tempted to just trash the lot of you. If I did, maybe I might not have as much functionality, but my teenager would be able to reach me late in the day because my phone battery would still have juice.

Looking for a great app that will allow me to selectively turn off anything that would beep or ring during the night but perserve at least two things:
1. Phone - in case the family has an emergency.
2. Alarm - so I do not lose my job.
Facebook, tweets, reminders, etc. need to be turned off.

Great app! You can set almost everything from this one app. Ringer, media, notifications volume. Screen brightness. Toggle WiFi and GPS, check battery strength, turn on LED or screen for flashlight. etc. Remove those butt-ugly toggles from your screen

I 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.

Is 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.

Can anyone tell me if UK developers are still being forced to list in a currency that the only paying customers of Market aren't used to dealing with (i.e. British pounds), or can we list in the currency our potential customers use?

In android-sdk-windowsplatformsandroid-8data esdrawable progress_large.xml, the following code is used:
CODE:.........................
If I try to copy this code in my own projects (so I can change the drawable), I get a compile error for framesCount and frameDuration.
Is <animated-rotate> something that can be used? And if so, how?

Is 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!

I'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.

I 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?

I 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?
