This is my first S/O question.
I'd like to know more about porting C applications to native ARM for use on Android devices.
I can make simple programs using the prebuild toolchain which comes with the source, but how can I use this toolchain with applications which are more than one file and require configure and make?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm pulling a list of product objects from a database call and I want to build a ListView of the data in my activity with a non-scrolling header and footer. Each row will consist of a product thumbnail, some data and a button arranged horizontally. I understand that using the ListView I can inflate each row using a separate layout. Most of the examples Ive seen using ListView just show a simple array of strings that fill the whole view of the activity, but most real-world examples will be more complex and I can't find any good examples that explain how all these pieces fit together. Does anyone have any pointers to sample code with a good explanation ?

I recently joined the Android community with my purchase of the Moto Droid. After a few days, I became interested in the rooting process and gave it a go... upgrading to Froyo. There have been several ROMs I've tried out, but I'm very hesitant to try more due to backups.
Will somebody provide me (in words or a link) the best way to backup all of my applications and data when testing out a new ROM? I tried Titanium Backup (and even donated), yet I never have successfully restored from a backup. Some applications and system data restore, but a ton of apps don't install, and I have to re-enter my email accounts (and appropriate sync settings) every time. This and the number of apps it doesn't restore (especially Swype) makes it not worth messing around with.
I read something about Nandroid backup, but that just looked like it was a backup in case something went terribly wrong with a ROM or something of the sort. Also, it looked like in the Simply Stunning (ChevyNo1) 4.2, there was a built in backup script... but I'd like to be able to venture between ROMs.
I want to be able to backup all of my apps and system data (gmail accounts, sms, etc), install a new ROM, and reload all of my apps and data.
I've synced my android repository just after android sdk 1.6 announced, but found some problem to install my apps with native code (so built by NDK 1.5_r1) then.
I tried to build NDK with the latest source code, bu unfortunately, faile again :( .
So is there any way to get particular version of android source code? for example the android-1.5r3 tag. Would be great if some command like "svn switch /foo/bar/1.5r3" is available.
I've got a Droid 1 and am rooted w/BB rom. I was under the impression that I could go to my file manager and delete any apps, including native apps. However, the core or native apps list isn't available to me. How do I access and edit this list?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy app requires that devices are running at least Android 2.0 OS. Would it make more sense for me to compile my project with the 2.0 SDK or does it make more sense to always compile my project using the latest SDK, even if it's well beyond 2.0...?
The problem with compiling against 2.1 for example would be that I don't know if an Android 2.0 device would even run an app compiled with 2.1...?

View 11 Replies View Relatedwhen I compile android (http://source.android.com/download) it does not compile some source files. For example there is external/bluetooth/bluez/sbc/sbc.c which is not compiled. There are also other such files.
It's possible those files need not to be compiled. Or it might be that I need some special configuration to compile them.
Either way, if it is possible, I'd like to compile them. Is there some way to do it? Maybe some "compile_all" make target? (I believe the reason why I want to compile all source files is not important)

I'm interested in an app to decompile apps within android.

Seems like when I view all the apps Google has for Android every other app I search for comes up nill on my Hero.

I have a TabHost that requires indicators more complex than a simple string label (the tab itself, not the contents of the tab). There is no graphics involved, just font size and layout of text. The documentation suggests I may call the setIndicator method with a View instead of a CharSequence, but do not provide any pattern to follow. This almost works -- the tabs function but are not colored properly. I can probably use OnTabChangeListener to set their background color to white or black, but clearly this is wrong also -- the orange color transitions, etc. are lost. I just want the existing label behavior on text that's laid out. What pattern should I be following here?

Several Droid users have reported that my app's entire database just destroys itself randomly after a few days or so. This seems to be specific to the Droid. I'm at a loss. My app has a service that runs in the background to display notifications, it also supports widgets. Both of those (and the app itself, of course) access the database, and I marked every accessor to the database "synchronized", just in case. Any remote idea what could cause the entire database to just vanish?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on some sort of record lookup for a database. My code allows to search for some kind of string within an index (of that database) and returns the database-position of the found thing . With this found position my program is then able to move to adjacent records from the database moving forward and backwards from the initial position in small steps. ListView seems to not work in this case, as ListView starts per default at ListAdapter position 0 and not at an arbitrary position in the (here virtual) list. The api-docs doesn't seem to specify some sort of "start somewhere else and follow during scrolling". At least I haven't found that. So what I thought of is to use a ScrollView. Unfortunately I don't have a real understanding of how that could be realized with a huge number of records (and not just a handfull like in the examples). So, my questions are: - Is it possible to start a ListView at some defined position (without reimplementing {Abs}ListView) - Or can someone provide an example on how to implement a more complex ScrollView.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have ListActivity to show a custom list. The adapter for this list is a complex layout only known for each row at runtime depending on data gathered in a previous activity. The question I have is simple. I know it takes 4-6 seconds to prepare the adapter for the rows that will be visible (first 10), however I would like to let the user know by means of the empty list functionality or otherwise. At present the ListActivity is launched via a button on a previous activity and when that button is clicked the new activity will not be loaded until the adapter is completed, and the user is stuck with the previous activity until this happens. Code...
