I'm very much a creature of habit, and feel most at home editing in vim, jumping back and forth in screen. That said, I'm really enjoying Android development, with Eclipse being the only major point that I find a PITA (no offense to Eclipse fans, I'm sure it's a great tool, it's just not the bee's knees for me). Tutorial or Resource on getting set up to do Android development entirely outside the Eclipse tool chain?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having a lot of problem getting Eclipse with Android plug-in to work on Windows 7 64K. I am getting eclipse not responding a lot. It seem to happen pretty randomly. I know that Windows 7 is currently not support for Android SDK.
However has anyone got this to work ?
I am using the following:
- Windows 7 64K
- eclipse galileo (3.5.2)
- JDK 1.6.0_21 64k
Should I use 32-bit Eclipse or 64-bit Eclipse for Android development? I'm on a MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo). Does it matter which version for Android coding?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI apologize if this is a stupid question, nevertheless I need to ask. I am new to Android development and have gone through every single tutorial and reference provided. I have been doing great, with the exception of one stupid problem; I cannot find where the databases for some apps are stored.
For example I would like to build my own app that includes thousands of pre-made records from an established SQLite Database. As a reference I tried to use the "Searchable Dictionary" app from the provided programs in the Android SDK, but cannot find it.
I read that all databases are stored in /data/data//databases on the device, but I cannot find this location. So how would I access the database in Eclipse or anywhere else for that matter to set up my pre-configured database?
I am just starting to get setup for android development. I have installed pulsar and the proper sdks I think. I want to develop for the droid x.
I can't find any information on how to create a new project using the installed sdks. Shouldn't there be a project type for android? Nothing like this is showing up.
Are there any tutorials for getting started using pulsar for android dev?
Can you please advise if development tools Eclipse, Android sdk, usb driver etc. are working properly under Windows 7 32 and 64 bit?

I have seen samples for Mercurial ignore files for Visual Studio, amongst others.
I've just started playing around with Android development, and I also use this time to experimenting with Mercurial. So my question is: does anyone have a good example of a .hgignore file to use for Eclipse and Android development?
For starters I've got the following myself:
CODE:......
Are there any other ignore patterns that should be included? Should for instance the Eclipse files .classpath and .project be omitted from version control as well?
-- Edit below --
I haven't quite gotten the answers I hoped for yet, so I'll put out a bounty and try to specify a bit clearer what I'm looking for.
After experimenting a bit myself, I seem to have found that the suggested .hgignore listed above seems to be sufficient. The only addition I've made, is one line with .settings (this was a folder that appeared after I ran Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties). I've also found that (as mentioned by Ry4an) that the Eclipse files .classpath and .project should not be excluded.
I am however uncertain that this small ignore file will be sufficient when I get to projects a bit bigger than the basic tutorials (if it actually is all good, please explain why, and you'll get the credit). So to summarize what I'm looking for:
I want a concrete example for a .hgignore file for an Android project under Eclipse The ignore file should be so that whenever I check out a copy of the repository at a new location, it should work straight away (i.e. without having to mess with paths and references, add missing files etc.) Please also explain why your include file looks like it does (I want to understand why certain files/directories are excluded (and why some definitely should be included)) If you include OS specific excludes, please also state so (I'm running on Windows 7 btw.)
I want to get started with an Android application but can't download the plug-in.
Anyone know where else I can get this?
I can't seem to get anything back from https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ - even accessing from a browser just gives a 404.

View 1 Replies View Related1- I am an iphone application developer, all iphones have very similar Operating systems, and the size and everything is the same, so I don't need to create applications specific for each iphone.
But with android there are different phones, different sizes, So How can i possibly know that my app works, and looks fine on all these devices
2- I don't already own an android but i completed my first application using the simulator. Which android phone do u suggest for testing? I am an AT&T user and i use an iphone. Can i simply insert my sim-card in the new android to be able to test my app on the device?
With the latest SDK release, and the ability to download separate platforms releases into the SDK, the hardware resources required to develop for Android have increased significantly. Assuming that the developer targets all currently available seven platforms - that could take your dev machine to its knees. Taken alone the 'Android SDK Content Loader' takes nearly two minutes on a dual-core machine with 2GB memory.
As the title suggest the reason for creating this wiki is for everyone to list their development hardware configurations, and thus determine what is a well-suited machine for Android development.
The secondary reason for the wiki is that I'm trying to get my employer to provide me with a decent machine for development as I'm currently forced to work on a nearly 4 year old randomly-built machine, and expected to deliver great results. However, the reality is that my system keeps running out of memory, and I can hardly get a chance to write a few lines of code in between the numerous crashes.
Is Ubunto 9.04 compatible with development in Android? Before i ugrade, deploy on device was normal. Now, using 9.04, doesn't recognize it using "adb devices". This below is already set on my ubuntu: 1. Login as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/50- android. rules.
For Gusty/Hardy, edit the file to read: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
For Dapper, edit the file to read: SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666" 2. Now execute: chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules

I'm just about done with development and emulator testing and I'm unclear how to proceed with getting my application ready for actual device testing and them publishing.
Here's my main concern: I have around 600 images that I will need to have loaded (on initial installation) onto an sd card. What is the best way to do this? HTTP? Is there an automated process? Is this handled by an installation script.
Are there documents that cover this type of scenario?
When it comes time for actual publishing the application, again, how will I handle loading the images onto the sd card during the initial installation?
Has anyone tried to develop an android app on windows 7? It says that it isn't a supported OS, but sometimes that doesn't stop people from trying to develop on it anyways.
