I created a chess game for Android - Chess Walk, it's on Market for free under title "Chess Walk (BETA)". It has online mode (you can play on Free Internet Chess Server) and offline mode. The built-in chess engine is not very good, I'll probably focus now on improving its strength and style of play.

For instance, som pictures or javascript files may be local on the sd card, and some may be online. Target is Android 1.6, and I have full control over the server, and the files on the server.

I really wouldn't mind whether it was online or offline, but it would be great to be able to do a factory reset and not lose all my settings, texts, emails and have to reinstall all my apps.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy battery life was horrible when I first switched from my rotten apple to my little green android.I did a little exploring and found some nice applications to extend battery life.The Tools: WiFi OnOff, GPSOnOff. BluetoothOnOff & Taskpanel
We all know that GPS, BT, and Wifi will drain a phone no matter what brand. Toggle WiFi , GPS. and Bluetooth with the respective applications (free) when they are not in use. We also heard claims from apple about Iphone not multi tasking natively to save battery life. I am not sure why but a lot of apps load at startup like AK Notepad, PEEP and other seemingly load for no reason.
Enter Taskpanel you can choose the apps you want to ignore at startup. For example ignore IM if you use Meebo, ignore mail if you use GMail. Let's say you tweet occasionally you can also auto kill applications after an allotted time. I can run peep and set auto shutdown after 5 min. Between TaskPanel and the toggle apps my battery life has been extended.You can also keep auto dim enabled (use the volume button to wake the screen up). Little tweaks like this pay off.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I was planning on writing a Chess-based mini game as part of a project. I was working on my pitch when I realized that I had to represent 64 clickable squares on a screen of that size. I found a couple of ways around it. Like letting them choose a row number from 1-8 and a column number from A-H OR providing them with four arrow keys to navigate across the screen. But it just takes the fun and intensity out of the game.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I bought my Nexus One, I took the card out of my G1 and put it in my N1. I've developed an app and I know how it works on the Nexus but I want to test it on my G1. I wanted to see how my app looks on a G1 so I connected it to my computer and put my .apk file into the downloads folder on my G1's SD- Card. Ok, now my app is on my OFFLINE G1 but how do I install it? Can I install it with only the native apps on my G1? Right now, I don't see anyway to view the file. I know I can take the chip out of my N1 and put it back into my G1 and then simply download and install it but I would rather not do that.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application with TripIt integration and I make a call to their API and I get all my data in JSON format and save it in an object ListTripResponse. This object contains all the data I need over all the application. What I do now, I write this object to a text file (i serialize my object and save it as a file with ObjectOutputStream) and in every activity I read this file. But this file is pretty long and it takes a while to read it. And i have to use and read this object in every activity! Isn't there a better way to do this? I cannot save this file in a database because the structure is to complex.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm somewhat unfamiliar with the droid incredible's GPS features. I know it uses A-GPS, but I've been led to believe that the use of cell towers is only to facilitate the acquisition of the almanac or when GPS signal is unavaible altogether. I'd like to use my phone's GPS while camping, at which point I'll be well away from cell coverage. Will I still be able to get a GPS signal. If so can anyone reccomend a topographic mapping software that I can download maps from to my phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI found that android handsets connected to my PC via usb often go 'offline' status (by adb.exe devices). And, in this situation, I can not debug or access the handset anymore. My question is, how can I make the handset back to 'device' status. I tried 'adb kill-server' and 'adb start-server', but it didn't help. Why the connection is so unstable, and how can I recover it without reconnect it to the computer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedGoogle Translate is great, but it's crippling fault is that it needs a data connection to work. Obviously the only time I am going to need language translation tools, is the same time I don't want to pay for roaming data access!!

I have a new HTC Hero and TELUS imported the contacts from my old (OLD) Motorola i570 dumbphone. I need to do a lot of cleanup of the data, including specifying proper first/last names, merging postal and e-mail address data from my Palm TX's database, etc. I used "Contacts Manager" to export my phone-based contacts to an XML file on the SD card. It can apparently import an XML file as well, but I can't get it to work. It always complains about importing a directory instead of a file.

So now I'm looking for another app that can overwrite my phone's contacts database with new data from an XML or CSV file. I would really prefer not to send all this information up to Google.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't currently have a data plan. Since I'm on WiFi 95% of the time, I don't plan on getting one. The only thing I haven't been able to do easily (without a data plan) is use Google Maps while driving/walking.If I load the maps before leaving a WiFi hotspot, my location is tracked and I can pan around the map. Of course, as soon as I want to view another uncached portion of the map, I can't.Maps are small, and it would be perfect if I could cache maps for a certain area - say everything within 100 mi of my house. Any ideas?
