Android :: Development Tools Recommendation Thread
Sep 8, 2009
we're looking for high quality developer tools which have been ported & tested for Android. the first is a code correctness tool that will scan our code looking for non-syntactical errors (e.g. thread synch errors, uninitialized vars...). basically a lint- like tool for Android. the second tool we want is a coding style "enforcer" that will fix, or at least report, code segments that do not adher to our stdrd coding styles (e.g. bracing policy, function header commenting etc) the third one is, well, a placeholder for whichever tool you people have found to be of high value in developing your own Android apps...

I have much experience with Java, and am quickly getting to grips with Android. But I have very little experience with graphics... most of my work has been logical, back end web development. The last time I did any proper screen drawing was in the good old days of Applets (years ago).
I can see that Android has a very complex graphical interface, but I don't know where to start. I've looked at some of the sample apps that come with the SDK, but it's slow progress.
For example, I'm trying to learn by developing a simple rolling ball. Currently I'm using onDraw(Canvas canvas), a paint object, and path.addCircle() to draw a circle, which I then update frequently. However the result is jerky, and slow - I want to see it flying around the screen! Clearly this isn't the right way to go about it.
So two questions I suppose: 1) What graphics tools would you recommend to implement my example? 2) Where can I learn more about the graphics capabilities of android?

I have read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1644/what-good-technology-podcasts-are-out-there, and other related questions, but I have not found anything Android-specific.
Does anybody listen to any such podcast? Want to recommend it?

I am using Mac Pro which has "Darwin" linux. I tried to ADT 0.9.0 by running the script at cupcake/development/tools/eclipse/scripts/build_server.sh. The script keeps failing with error saying that it only works on Linux. I am in need of the ADT 0.9.0. Is there a way for me to successfully building this from the cupcake source? If not, can someone send me a built ADT 0.9.0?

Is there a way to achieve the following in Android?
1. generate a Java stack trace in Android. In J2SE, we use to use something like this - send a signal to the Java Virtual Machine; the Java Virtual Machine generates a stack trace for you; or we can also use debugging tools or Java API calls.

I can't find the source code for the Android Development Tools Plugin for Eclipse. It seems to have been moved a few times, and when I google the question, the answers point to the wrong places. Also http://source.android.com/discuss seems to be down.

I wanted to install ADT using my Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede and the internal update function. I added the site "http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/ eclipse/" and chose to install it.But directly after confirming the installation I got the following error message:
An error occurred during provisioning. Failed to prepare partial IU: [R]com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms 0.8.0.v200809220836-110569.
Do you know what the reason of that error might be?

I know that there are loads around but without testing each one it is difficult and those I have tried don;t do what I want.Essentially I need to :
a. define as source folder on the SD card which contains the mp3 files and it should always default to that.
b. Play those files in order.
c. Remember if I stop half way through so that I can, later, continue from that point.
d. Have the usual controls ; Play, stop , next , last, and to be able to drag the time to advance within a single playback.

I am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created Gamethread.
The requirement is like this.
An activity(say "Activity_X") is setting the view by "setContentView(some "View_Y")". In "Activity_X" i have implemeted "onCreateOptionsMenu()" and "onOptionsItemSelected()" fucntions for creating menus & a switch case for action to be taken on selecting those menus.Menu has items like "resume/pause/zoom/" .
All action to be take on selecting these menus are implemented in "View_Y" in a separate Gamethread by extending "Thread" class.
So whenever a menu is selected in "Activity_X" i need to send a message to "View_Y". And on receiving this ,a particular action/method should be called in View_Y(GameThread).
How can i achieve this using Handlers?Is there any other way of doing this? Please do share with me some code snippets for these.

I'm looking for a simple alarm. Say I want the alarm to sound of next Thursday at 8:00 (with a text note re what the alarm is for would be really nice) or every June 7th, and a regular 24 hour alarm. On my PC I use Chameleon Clock which I rely on for scheduling. I'd love to find something like that if it's out there.

The HTC People app always seems pretty laggy and can take up to a whole minute just to call someone, which it shouldn't since i could do that in 10-15 seconds on even a non-smart phone.So I would like some suggestions - what would people suggest I use for fast contacts?

I really like the built-in calendar app on my new HTC Desire. But there's 3 things that it can't do, and I really need them:
1. I need to be able to set up how the calendar calculates week numbers. I live in Demark and in Europe we don't calculate week numbers the sane way as they do in the US.
2. I need to be able to set up repeated appointments that repeat every second week, or every third day.
3. I really want to be able to set the default reminder time to 'Do NOT remind me'. The built-in calendar app lets me set the reminder value to 'No remind' when I create a new event, but it won't let me set the default value to 'No remind'.So basically I need a calendar app that works precisely like the built-in one, apart from the 3 things mentioned above

I want to do the drawing in another thread to speed up the game(it is way to slow right now). I was told to do this but don't quite understand why that would speed things up. Is it GameView that should implement Runnable? Should I make the thread sleep when not drawing? where should I start the thread? package com.android.WWS;
import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.*; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.SurfaceView; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnKeyListener; import java.lang.Runnable; import java.lang.Thread;...................

Can anyone recommend a good footy app, aimed specifically at the English premier league? I already have FotMob 4.0 but the interface is a little awkward in that there is not enough room to view the RSS feed, the menu part of the screen takes up too much real estate and there doesn't appear to be any way to get rid of it.

So after reading many threads on here I am keen to know if you guys would still recommend the DHD. I am currently waiting for t mobile's stock to arrive before they swap my SGS for a DHD. I've played with one for a few mins happened to be a HTC rep in a local phone shop showing it to the staff and I asked for ago which I did but didn't get much time on it. took a few pics (very impressive camera) scrolled around. Seemed sooth even if it has far to many stock apps IMO by the looks of things. Am I still doing the right thing will all the experience you guys now have of it.
