I would like to start doing some Android development, and would like a cheap device to deploy apps to, just for testing and demo purposes. Is it possible to deploy apps to, for instance, an Archos 28? I don't know much about Android development yet, and haven't found a good answer to this question elsewhere.

I'm writing an Android JUnit test and want to copy/reset a test fixture file (it's an SQLite database file.) If I were within the main application, I know I could just place the file in the assets directory and use getResources().getAssets().open(sourceFile).However, this API appears to be unavailable from the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 class.Is there an easy way to copy a file over from the testing PC, or should I just keep a fresh copy of a test fixture on the device and copy it over a temporary file?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to test a test app I developed on android 2.2 sdk on my htc phone with Froyo on it (2.2). In the emulator it works fine, when I export as unsigned app and try to install on the phone, it doesn't allow me, just telling me 'application non installed'. The phone has the settings to accept installation of non android application, so I'm not sure why I can't test on it. Is it because it's not signed?

i am working on android CTS test, i am getting API check time out error whenever i start test plan CTS, i followed the below steps for CTS test and also i mentioned my doubts.
CTS test steps :
1. Please download and install the Android 1.6 SDK on your machine.
2. Your phone should be running a user build (Android 1.6 and later) from source.android.com
3. Please refer to this link on the Android developer site and set up your device accordingly.
4. Make sure that your device has been flashed with a user build (Android 1.6 and later) before you run CTS.
5. You need to download the TTS files via Settings > Speech synthesis > Install voice data before running CTS tests. (Note that this assumes you have Android Market installed on the device, if not you will need to install the files manually via adb)
6. It is advisable to log in to the device with a test Google account, not an account that you actually use.
7. Make sure the device has a SD card plugged in and the card is empty. Warning: CTS may modify/erase data on the SD card plugged in to the device.
8. Do a factory data reset on the device (Settings > SD Card & phone storage > Factory data reset). Warning: This will erase all user data from the phone.
9. Make sure no lock pattern is set on the device (Settings > Security & location > Require Pattern should be unchecked.Google Confidential
10. Make sure the "Screen Timeout" is set to "Never Timeout" (Settings > Sound & Display > Screen Timeout should be set to "Never Timeout".
11. Make sure the "Stay Awake" development option is checked (Settings > Applications > Development > Stay awake).
12. Make sure Settings > Application > Development > Allow mock locations is set to true.
13. Make sure the device is at the home screen at the start of CTS (Press the home button).
14. While a device is running tests, it must not be used for any other tasks.
15. Do not press any keys on the device while CTS is running. Pressing keys or touching the screen of a test device will interfere with the running tests and may lead to test failures.
Doubts :
1) is it necessary to follow all the steps ?
2) for step 5, i copied the voice data to the SD card and if i follow step 8 it will erase all contents of SD card so how can i follow both step 5 and step 8 at a time...?

I have a problem when trying to see use the Android for development on Ubuntu. The device is shown as offline. Although it detects the device.
when I type % adb devices List of devices attached HT845GZ50600 offline
I am using: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)
Few things I tried:
1. I have changed the 50-android.rules file and reloaded the udev. [ as suggested by docs] 2. 51-android.rules ( if there was another 50 then this would have worked) and it worked for some users [ diff thread in the forum] .
2. I also killed adb server and restarted it.
3. It works on Windows, but I want to develop on Ubuntu ( and curious why it doesnt work).
I'm using the 1.5 SDK. I read in 1.0 that rotating the device would cause onCreate() to be called in our apps (possibly recreating the entire app?). Is there a way to test rotating the device in the emulator? I just want to see what happens, I don't have a device to test this. Will the behavior be the same for 1.5 as it was in 1.0?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an android application that depends on network activity and the alarm manager sometimes waking the phone up from a sleeping state. My question is how can I reliably test this on device? Ideally, how can I force the phone into a full-on sleeping state. Failing that, how can I know for sure when the phone has fully gone to sleep? How do you test your Alarm Manager / Wake Lock / Sleep handling code?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow does the Moto Droid X match up to the Archos 5 running Android? I've got the Droid and the Archos 5. But bought the Archos mainly as a mp3 player and book reader. My Droid is a great mp3 player but every time it is in my pocket the slider moves and I have to get it out slide the lock and hit play again. Very annoying. Also you get all the notices, such as emails, texts, calendar reminders, etc making thier alarms through the songs. This is why I searched out Archos as a media player. But it really isn't pocketable.
You can but it is large. The Droid X is larger then Droid (4.3 vs 3.7) but still a little smaller than Archos 5". I've done so much research for the last 2 weeks, I'm going silly trying to remember everything and what's what. So has anyone checked both these out and think they are pretty much the same thing only a little smaller screen? Just curious as I'm leaning towards returning Archos and going with Droid X. Hopefully at some time they will make an app that will shut off everything but phone calls while music player is playing.
I was wondering if I can download apps from my computer and place them on my Archos 5 Internet Tablet since Archos made their own stupid market place with less apps.
View 2 Replies View Relatedmy app is working perfectly and playing its music in the 1.5 and 1.6 emulators, my ADP1, and for everyone in the Android Market (at least there were no complaints). The problem is that when the app is run on the ARCHOS 5 tabled, the MediaPlayer.create(Context context, int resid) method returns null. I guess there might be a problem with the ARCHOS' Android implementation, but did anyone experience the same problem? What might be a possible reason for the create method to return false? The docs don't say anything. I'm also using SoundPool in parallel with MediaPlayer if that's relevant.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app which has a download size of about 7MB and an installed/ configured size of about 25MB. So far, I've been handling this by using the SD card for the baulk of the data. This works fine although the installation process is a little cumbersome. I notice the smallest of the Archos 5 tablets is 8GB.
Can someone confirm whether this is all part of the internal memory? In other words, can /data/data/com.mypackage fill this memory (potentially). If so, does this mean there is a good chance that getExternalStorageDirectory() will quite often return null? Because people will have less need to use an external SD card.
I have never used JUnit before, and now I'm trying to set it up on an Android project.My project under test is fairly complex, including some JNI, but my test project, at the moment, is completely trivial. I have found many examples (that look totally different) online of how to make a test project, but it seems that no matter which one I follow, I get the same results.Here's my JUnit project code:package com.mycompany.myproject.test;
import android.test.AndroidTestCase;public class SimpleTestCaseExample extends Android TestCase {public void test_testOne() {fail("Just Always Fail");When I run, I see the following in Logcat:
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: numtests=2
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: test=test_testOne
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS_CODE: 0
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: id=InstrumentationTestRunner
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: current=2

stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS_CODE: 0
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: stream=
stdout Test results for InstrumentationTestRunner=..
stdout Time: 0.07
stdout OK (2 tests)
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_CODE: -1
But, I get the following in the Console:Launching instrumentation android.test. Instrumentation TestRunner on device emulator-5554 Collecting test information Test run failed: No test results I have tried a variety of different things, messing with the basic TestCase class, or the TestSuite class, or a variety of other options. I tried to just go for the most trivial example because I'm really still trying to learn how this works.Whatever I try, I see this error.
I'm working on a school project and I'm researching testing possibilities for Android applications. On this page: http: // developer . android . com/ resources / tutorials /testing /hello android. Google writes about a unit test. Is this really a unit test? A Unit test will not integrate all classes and will not test in his context. So my opinion is it is not a Unit Test but an Integration Test.
