I used Eclipse with the Android SDK to develop the original application. I ask since this was my first Java (and Eclipse, and Android, and XML) project. I assume that most of the Java should run on the PC without too much trouble. I may want to restructure the code to isolate the Android specific functions. Should I stay with Eclipse or move to something like NetBeans?

I am looking to create an Android application that uses Tabs.
Requirements
- When a user selects a tab and gets back to the same tab, there shouldn't be a loading period (preferably).
- Each tab will contain a listview.
- In one of the tabs, I will have to use subtabs. And that's it.
One great example I really liked (although I didn't try the app) is

I'm working on an app that is meant to be used by fans of a sport team. In the future, I expect to use the same app but for any different team. So, what changes would be the colors, team logo, app name and the like. So, is there any technique that allows me to build binaries for different teams without having duplicated resources?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor my first application, the only testing I've really done to this point is on my Droid X. I want to think through the various hardware differences and come up with a testing plan that is representative of the Android landscape. My initial thought is to create a list of emulators that have unique qualities such as screen size and SDK levels. I've noticed very quickly how the UI of my application will need some adjustment when viewed on devices that don't carry a 4.3" screen. How have you approached this hurdle in your own development?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm a total newbie to Android (and to Java in general... mostly a PERL/ PHP guy here...), so forgive me if I use the wrong terminology to refer to things... I have been asked by my company to implement an application for Android that allows a user to enter a note at the end of every call. E.g., either they or the other party hangs up, immediately a notes area pops up with a "save" button and if they enter a note, the note is saved with a reference to the call log entry. As I understand it, onCallStateChange() will give a pretty good indicator of a hangup if the state has become Telephony Manager.CALL_STATE_IDLE. I've figured out how to do the UI part, how to save it in a database, etc... My question, however, is about how I implement this "listening" aspect of it. Should I have a service running all the time that has an instance of android.telephony.PhoneStateListener? If so, do I use the onBind or onStart method, and how do I make sure it doesn't go away when memory runs low? Or can I somehow attach the listener to this event, and then terminate? Or is a Broadcast Receiver the way to go?

We are supposed to cache textual and audio data in our application until device is booted or maximum of two days, whichever happens earlier. To get a perspective on data to be cached, note that we are to store about 200 text headers containing around 10 fields, each of length 30 bytes and about 20 sound files each about a minute long.We are getting the textual data by parsing XMLs and then we keep them in ArrayLists. The sound files are directly written inside the app storage using File I/O (and not on SDcard or Apps Cache directory).This application is to be run on devices running Android 1.5 or later.I understand, and please correct me if I am wrong, that we can cache the files either on SDcard or inside the application or inside applications Cache directory.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBackGround: There are Facebook APIs(and SDKs) available to develop applications for other Mobile devices like iPhone, BlackBerry etc, but it seems there are no official ones for Android(?).
People have ported Java APIs to work on Android and have written FaceBook Client applications(FaceBook dev: Wiki Page). Apparently, there is also a light weight FaceBook SDK in alpha release for Android(a la FBRocket). But it is not avised to be used in Production.
Since these FaceBook functionalities have been exposed as REST based service, most of work would invove sending requests in desired format over Http. So, writing a FaceBook client app for Android certainly is doable.There are similar applications already in market e.g.: Bloo.
Questions: When asked to write a FaceBook client application what approach should one undertake? Should we choose the SDK or invoke the services over Http?
If there is already a Web application that integrates with FaceBook, can we just browse to that Application from inside a WebView and be done with this?
Will it possible to send data from application to usb device (some pen drive). If yes then how? Please provide some docs or link.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm the developer of 3G Watchdog, an application that monitors 3G traffic. I need help from Motorola Droid owners to port it to that phone.The app gets the network statistics data by reading pseudo-files /sys/ class/net/xxxx/statistics/rx_bytes and tx_bytes. "xxx" is the network interface name, which depends on the platform (or rather, the maker), e.g. for HTC phones it is "rmnet0", "pdp0" for Samsung..I'm looking for the name used by the Droid. If someone with a Droid could look (using adb) at / sys/ class/ net/ xxxx/ statistics/ rx_bytes and tell me what the xxxx is, it would make 3G Watchdog accessible to Motorola users.BTW, this remark is valid for any other future phone (Ericson, etc). New Android phones will appear on the market, and I need owner's contribution to port 3GW on them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm navigating through a 3-level hierarchy of names to get to a document view page. I've set up tabs for the 3 levels. The tabs are left, middle, and right where the right tab is the lowest level of the hierarchy. Each tab has a list of 10 to 20 Radio Buttons with the names. This all works great and is very efficient and intuitive. One note is that there may be 1000 documents available (from an online source) but the average user will only be viewing a handful regularly. So I store the choices for each of the 3 tabs. This way a user can quickly navigate to his favorite without having to negotiate the entire hierarchy each time. My question comes when the user is on the right tab. At this point they have navigated through to the document they want and I'm wondering what is the best way to initiate the document view page. Remember that most of the navigation happens on the right tab in the small set of documents the user regularly visits, with only occasional visits to the other tabs. So making the right tab efficient is good. My current approach is to add a LongClickListener to the buttons of the right tab. Then a press-and-hold kicks off the document view. This certainly minimizes the number of objects on the screen and the number of separate clicks required to get to the document but I question whether new users will know that a long press is expected. I guess I could put up some Toast if the user doesn't do anything for 5 seconds but that still seems clunky. Another approach is to add a Button at the top of the right tab Radio Buttons. This has the merit of being dead obvious but it's a less efficient use of screen space and also an extra click for an experienced user.
