Android :: Breaking Upgrades In Android
Jul 30, 2010
It will save a lot of coding if I am able to make a breaking change to my Android application. Instead, they will have to download a clean install and visit a URL to reinitialise the application data.
According to the documentation, "if the package name and signing certificate do not match those of the existing version, Market will consider it a new application and will not offer it to users as an update." This would allow me to publish a new version of the application without the user being able to accidentally upgrade and break the application.
If I do upload a new version of my application with a different signing certificate, will the application appear in the application store twice? If so, is there any way to prevent users from downloading the old application?

i have a android application which is ready to release .so to release i have put the app in android market .the user can buy the app and can install the app into the phone.android market wont provide any apk file to the user .so normally we need not bother about re distribution of of the app to the unauthorized persons(who didn't buy the app). But what my problem is ,I heard that there is a jail breaking concept which can allow the hacker to get the apk file(installation file) from the device .(even though android market not giving the apk file to the user ).then he can distribute the apk file to all(to unauthorized persons ).how to avoid it.is there any thing to restrict the unauthorized person in using our app,even though he get the apk file . does android market provides the details of the users who has buy the app by paying?

I am generating an email in my app in which I include a long URL. The entire URL appears in the email but the clickable link portion of it consists of only the first 90 characters. Why does this happen and how can I prevent it?

I bought a few apps in the Market and in some cases I noticed that the developers charged for updates. I would like to know if this practice is admitted and fair. I also would like to know if it is possible to have a clear notice about how udates/upgrades FOR EACH APPLICATION are dealt with in terms of charges to your credit card when you buy in the Market. I think this is essential if we want to improve the Market, put some order and make sure you can control what you pay once you establish a relationship with third parties through the Market and eventually guarantee the success of the platform. Are there any rules for developers/sellers in the Market in this respect? Can we read them?

My app schedules an alarm,with the alarm scheduled, what happens if I release a new version of my app, and the user upgrades the app? Will this alarm be removed? Or will it be left untouched, and fired as expected?

1. How do OS upgrades work. Can any android device easily upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 or even 2.1? or are these issued by the manufacturer, thus we have to wait until they're ready?
2. Are android apps compatible with all android devices? I've heard that Archos 5 doesn't support all android apps and the Camangi device has its own app market (Camangi Market - Apps). Would apps from the official android market work on any android device? What's the point of Camangi having it's own app market?

I read that the AlarmManager looses all registered intents if case the application that registered those intents is upgraded.What is the correct approach to re-register those intents considering the user does NOT start the application after upgrading it?

Last time I checked if you set your default browser to say Dolphin Browser it caused some issues with updates of apps and the market. Does anyone know if this has been addressed or if setting your default browser to a 3rd party still creates update issues with other applications?

I am in the process of trying to convert a desktop app to Android - and am struggling with some very basic stuff. When I specify a layout including a textview that holds a sizable amount of text wrap_content seems to arbitrarily break in the middle of a word - and I can not find any documentation indicating this can be controlled.

Failing JUnit tests, not breaking my Ant script like I expect?
My continuous integration server runs an Ant script, which calls something like:
/tests/ant run-tests
My JUnit tests run, but with errors:
CODE:..............
The errors are OK, but my build script keeps going (eventually publishing my broken app to my testers - bad!). What I would expect is for the instrimentaiton to throw a build error, so my continuous integration server (TeamCity in this case) realises that something has gone wrong and reports a broken build. The "failonerror" is already set in the relevant macrodef, so I'm not sure what else I can do?

I'm getting some messages from my users that when they go to download an upgrade for my paid app, it just sits and downloading forever and does nothing.

Is there an easy to use and Free Android Upgrade App that upgrades the Android OS like from 4.0.2 to newest 4.2.2 while keeping settings and personal data and installed apps. Seems like a common sense thing since everyone expects this on Desktop OS updates right? why not with Android.

I'm trying to create an activity that presents some data to the user. The data is such that it can be divided into 'words', each being a widget, and sequence of 'words' would form the data ('sentence'?), the ViewGroup widget containing the words. As space required for all 'words' in a 'sentence' would exceed the available horizontal space on the display, I would like to wrap these 'sentences' as you would a normal piece of text.
The following code:
code:...................
yields something like the left picture, but I would want a layout presenting the same widgets like in the right one.
Is there such a layout or combination of layouts and parameters, or do I have to implement my own ViewGroup for this?

Im using the SAXParser object do parse the actual XML.
This is normally done by passing a URL to the XMLReader.Parse method. Because my XML is coming from a POST request to a webservice, I am saving that result as a String and then employing StringReader / InputSource to feed this string back to the XMLReader.Parse method.
However, something strange is happening at the 2001st character of the XMLstring. The 'characters' method of the document handler is being called TWICE in between the startElement and endElement methods, effectively breaking my string (in this case a project title) into two pieces. Because I am instantiating objects in my characters method, I am getting two objects instead of one.
This line, about 2000 chars into the string fires 'characters' two times, breaking between "Lower" and "Level"
<title>SUMC-BOOKSTORE, LOWER LEVEL RENOVATIONS</title>
When I bypass the StringReader / InputSource workaround and feed a flat XML file to XMLReader.Parse, it works absolutely fine.
Something about StringReader and or InputSource is somehow screwing this up.
Here is my method that takes and XML string and parses is through the SAXParser.
CODE:.............
How to not have 'characters' firing off twice when I get to this point in the XML String.
Or, show me how to use a POST request and still pass off the URL to the Parse function.

I want to have a free version and a premium version of the same application. When people buy the application, I want them to be able to "upgrade" without losing their data, i.e. the premium version should install over the free version.I want to use the same code base and just switch a setting to build the premium version.
Andoid Market does not let me convert a free app to a paid app, so the trivial option is not available.I am curious if someone has tried this successfully. How does Android Market identify an application - will it think that the premium version is a different app and just install it in parallel?

When using the built in speaker phone on my Samsung Moment, the person on the other end of the call complains that I am quite, muffled, and/or breaking up; I can hear them fine, and it doesn't matter how close or far the mic is from my mouth.

Has anyone else noticed the person on the other end saying they are breaking up when using bluetooth in a car? My wife says all the time when I call her from the car I sound like I am breaking up and she has a hard time hearing me. Never had any issue with the old EnV, is this common for the Droid?

It looks like Chevy's kernal is breaking the root access for Titanium. Anyone else having the same issue? When I first installed BB .7, Titanium worked fine. Then I installed Chevy's kernal and now it doesn't have root access. Looks like a couple other people are having the same issue on AllDroid. I'm using BB .7 with Chevy's 1ghz kernal.

I'm wondering if it is possible for a firmware update to increase the current 15fps video recording. (I believe it's 15fps) Don't get me wrong the quality is watchable, but I'm just wondering if it is potentially possible for the firmwares (or custom) to actually up the framerate a tad?

I'm looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy S (the Vibrant from T-mobile) without a plan and just use it over wifi. I'm incredibly interested in the Froyo update coming "soon," but was wondering if I'll be able to install it via wifi, or if I'll need to activate a plan in order to get it. Anyone know?

I just switched from the Palm pre to the samsung moment and love it so far. One thing i dont like though is the navigation, even though they are both sprint navi. the moment is so much slower at getting an adress and routing you to that adress. It wouldnt be that big of a deal for me but like i stated in a different post i am a police officer and came to a new district and am getting to know the area so when a priority job comes out it takes me a while to input the adress and get routed there as with the pre it was pretty much instantanious. I really dont want to go out and buy a stand alone navigation so can any of you guys help me. Are there any better apps or upgrades for the navigation?

I am forced to open a new topic, as one of the SE member stated to open it to get it answered. Sounds funky, right? I am reading every post that is getting flooded here in the SE Community Talk, and believe me, 95% is about Problems. 4% are expecting to get it fixed sooner or later. 1% are satisfied. With this we can figure out how much customers SE has collected by selling his product. This discussion is only to list the Problem in points and not in summary or paragraph styles. Let SE and other XDA developers look into this and make appropriate patches or upgrades to get it all fixed. We can number the problem in series in Red (spoon feeding SE), so that SE knows what to handle in priority. [once the problem listed is over, let us also list the benefits of SE in Green to make ourselves and SE happy too]
Having said this, let me begin the list I am facing:
1. Low Call Volume
2. Feeble Sound output
3. Poor indoor camera
4. Camera outputs blurs
5. Video outputs blurs
6. No live wallpapers (animating)
7. Latest apps/games not supporting 1.6
8. Picking the call 'always' by swiping is awkard
9. Dialing a number from Contact has become a long process
10. When ear-phone is plugged, ringtone does not ring in earphone
11. Not supporting Java apps (mchek, ICICI Bank)
12. Not supporting paid apps in Market (india)
13. Cant use 'enter' in default messaging (sends it). Using other apps (chomp/ handcent/...) has the option to line break SMS
14. Email signature not possible in default Email app. (need to rely on K9 Mail)
15. Moxier mail lies idle (those who do not have exchange server). Can't even uninstall it.
16. Apps gets installed in phone memory
17. Name gets wrongly geo-tagged
1. Love Timescape
2. Love Mediascape
3. Love big screen
4. Love plenty of apps
5. Fast performance
6. Good browser
7. Good capacitive touch

Like the rest we are waiting for Epic release. Some of us are stuck with our phones. Some can upgrades. But for those that want to upgrade to the Epic are you paying out of pocket? Are you able to upgrade now? Is your upgrade in October like many of or September? What will you do? Has Sprint ever given you an early upgrade and if so by how far from your actual upgrade date?

Anyone has experienced this problem on the Vibrant? The call keeps breaking up and I have this issue both calling and receiving. Not using the earphones but when I am holding and talking,, the call seems to break up and I've had people complain on the other side as well.
Not sure why this is happening. I had a Ultra Silke case put on it. Is that blocking anything? Or is this an inherent problem others have experienced?
