I'm newbie in developing Android Apps. Currently, I'm going to build an android Location Based Service apps for my undergraduate thesis. I've read some articles about displaying maps in Android but most of them are using Google Maps. Since I'm going to use my own custom map, is there any way to load my map in Android?

I am new to Android programming and have tried writing a couple of apps myself. One thing i noticed is that my application was very poor wrt the UI and the design aspects. I want to know what tools/softwares are used for developing the UI for Android apps.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been developing an Android application for about two months now, and the guy I'm writing it for wants me to use this instead of the android SDK so we can deploy the application for multiple smart phones: http://rhomobile.com/ he says you can write the application in one language and it can be deployed for most smart phones. Has anyone used this website to do something similar? Any advantages or disadvantages I should know about and tell him? Maybe someone could give me a better explanation on what this really does. I'm current a one man army. He wants the application out for most smart phones but can afford to hire more developers.

how to develop an offline sync app using the OpenMobster Sync Plugin for the PhoneGap framework. You can develop your App using HTML5 and Javascript instead of the native programming language.
Features:
-two way synchronization between the local sqlite database and the corporate backend in the Cloud
-Offline mode operation. All data changes are tracked and auto synchronized with the Cloud once the connection returns
-Use of Push notifications to push data changes from the Cloud to the device
-Support for replicating changes to multiple devices like iCloud does
-A Java based Channel Framework for integrating your backend with the Cloud
First of all, I just want to say I am a software developer, but I am not an Android developer. However I usually walk around and think on stuff. AndI've been recently thinking all the news concerning how fragmented Android is getting, with different Android versions and tweaks by different phone manufacturers, and then for developers you have different size formats. An example would be that HTC Tattoo might not be able to run everything that another phone might run, due to different screen formats, etc. And now the Android tablets are coming with different Android versions and different screen sizes, all from 5" to 11". Will this make developing Android applications harder? Apple has it safe here since they manufacturer all devices that run the iPhone OS: the pods, phones and now the pad so they can easily control and make sure not to loose any customers by introducing a new device. When Apple introduced iPad they had to make sure that all the old iPhone applications would work on the iPad. They solved that neatly by saying that iPhone applications will simply be stretched out to the double size and it would fit on the iPad. Unfortunately Android does not have the same luxury to do this. As I said, I am not an Android developer. Just a curious software developer For you guys who work actively in the Android community, does Google have a solution for this? Will you be able to run phone applications on the tablets? Is there a bridge between the devices? Are there any standardizations or will Android development become even more fragmented? you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I have a couple of apps working using eclipse and the emulator. I now want to try the apps on my htc aria. I went through downloading the usb driver as the Android Developers documentations sans and a usb driver folder now shows up in my sdk folder. However, apparently there isn't a driver for the HTC aria in the folder.
After research some people suggested using htc sync. I donwloaded htc sync and let windows check that I had the latest version. However, my phone keeps saying that it can't find htc sync on my computer.
When I plug in my HTC aria, the device manager on my lap top recognizes two devices as listed below: My HTc under Android USB devices and a HTC Android Phone USB Device. I clicked on update driver for both devices, Windows found them on-line and verified that they were the latest. I dont understand why there are two drivers, but My HT seems to have a problem as listed below. One thing that I should mention is that I am using the dreaded VISTA.
Device Manager: Android USB Devices: My HTC Device status: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Description: Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 37.
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:
CODE:.................
HTC Android Phone USB Device
Device Status: This device is working normally. Driver Provider: Microsoft Driver Date: 6/21/2006
So, the best I can tell is that there isn't a driver from the normal Android repository for the htc aria yet. And, for some reason my computer can't handle the htc sync drivers.
Will there be a usb driver for the htc aria that I can download from Android Developers in the future? Has anyone else been able to get htc sync to work with the htc aria? Is there anohter way to transfer my apps to the phone for development?
I guess that I can always use the ddms environment and transfer the app, but I really wanted a more graceful way to do this.
If it's possible to develop on an android device or if it will happen anytime soon?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on an app that has a homescreen. This homescreen should behave like the android homescreen where you can switch between several views by flinging your finger over the touch screen.
The solution is easy. I have 3 view instances, right, left and current view. I get this instances from the viewflipper that I initialized earlier. Since I have a HTC G1 my sreen is 320 px in width and 480 px in height.
Imagine you capture the down value of a action down motion event when you touch the screen. Then you move your finger and the screen should move in exactly the same way so you have to recalculate the view's position. It works for me so far but I am facing a strange problem. When you touch the right view without moving you finger but keeping it on the screen for less then a second the view disappears and shows the left view.
Here is my code:..........................
I think such a Homescreen for your own app could be a interestion UI element.

View 3 Replies View Relatedis it viable to develop applications using a stock T-Mobile G1? I guess in contrast to the emulator the real thing is restricted when it comes to debugging.But, is there a simple way to just transfer my self developed, self compiled APK to the phone and install it there? I do not have to go through the market for that, do I? :) Then again I guess it's not as easy as with the emulator, just clicking "Run" in Eclipse - or is there a way to tell Ecllipse to transfer the freshly compiled software to the *locked* phone?Yes, I know I could get an unlocked Dev Phone 1, but, my question is whether this would be *required* or, if not, what my options as a developer are when working with a stock, locked, phone.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am a student at a technical university in Finland, and Im currently working on a thesis about how suitable Android platform is for multimedia devices other than smartphones or mobile handsets. Different manufacturers have been experimenting with Android for a while now, and have installed the platform onto new types of devices such as mobile internet devices (Archos 5), tablets (Vega), and even e-book readers (Barnes & Noble nook). Almost all of these manufacturers are also welcoming Android developers to create applications to go with their devices. Compared to the number of applications on Android Market, however, the manufacturers are still very much in the beginning stages with this. I�m hoping to have some idea about what Android developer communities are thinking about this invitation, and so decided to post a poll about it on a few Android forums. Are you interested in developing applications for these kinds of devices, with larger screens and different capabilities from an average mobile phone? If it�s not too much trouble, I�d also be interested in hearing a few words about why you think it would be a good or bad idea. How would it be different from developing for phones? What sort of problems or possibilities do you think would rise from it?
