Android :: Device Chooser Doesn't List Emulators With Older APIs Than Build Version
Nov 13, 2010
My application is built on 2.2, but it is backwards compatible down to 1.6. I've used reflection for the newer methods. When I try to run it on an emulator in Eclipse, it only lists my 2.2 AVDs. I need to test on 1.6 to ensure compatibility. I've tried building with Android 2.2 and with Google APIs 2.2 with no luck. (what's the difference, anyway?) I have set <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" targetSDK="8"/> in my manifest. I also tried targetSDK="4".

With the SDK 1.5 it is possible to instantiate two emulators with two different devices. Could I assign a phone number to each device, such, that I could send SMS messages forth and back?

I have been building all my apps against the 1.6 version of the SDK until just recently when I switched to 2.2. I use ant to handle my builds and a normal build time for one of my apps was about 30 seconds. Now that I am building with 2.2 (that is the only change) it is taking over a minute to do the exact same thing... I was just wondering if anyone else was seeing a significant increase in the time it takes to build with 2.2.
When I make incremental changes to code in eclipse I am now noticing a "Building workspace: (xx%)" which takes a VERY long time in 2.2 compared to 1.6. I hardly every used to notice this because it was so fast. Now I notice it all the time.
I really hope that as we see additional sdk version come out that things just get slower and slower... also, I had read that with 2.2 we would see "significant" increases in performance on our existing hardware (devices). I'm definitely not.

I'm configuring a new machine for Android development and moving my current project over. I did a fresh install of all the Android tools and SDKs, and under "build targets", the Google APIs' target supports Android 2.2. Of course I need 1.5 as the base build target. My project doesn't build when I select that because the Google Maps stuff from maps.jar isn't there. In fact, after I did my full install I can't find maps.jar anywhere on my new machine. Is this jar file still required for Google Maps integration, or is it history? I'm using Eclipse 3.5. I guess I'd presume there would be a "google apis" for Android 1.5 build target. I'm thinking my install must be hosed; but maybe it's my understanding.. :)

I'm using the android plugin for eclipse, and when I try to run my program using a real device through the android device chooser, my phone is not listed as a device. I have updated eclipse and all of the android packages, but it still isn't showing up. My phone is running 1.6, which is also the target version listed in the eclipse project.Also, the reason I decided to try testing on a real device is because the emulator doesn't seem to be working right anymore when I run my project. The emulator launches, but the program never does. Any ideas?(using windows 7/t-mobile mytouch 3g)

Does anybody have an idea what I may be doing wrong. I have installed the usb drivers and have my device running in debugging mode but when I run my basic hello world application through eclipse my device wont show up in the device chooser. I have also tried re installing the sdk and all the drivers and still no luck.

I have two phones, one running 1.5 and the other on 1.6. When I connect the 1.6 device via usb, DDMS recognizes it and in the top-left pane shows: HT842....... | Online | 1.6, debug
It then lists the individual processes, I can select them and use various tools like allocation tracker.
But when I connect the 1.5 device, DDMS recognizes it but shows: HT95A....... | Online | 1.5
But it does not show any of the processes on the device, so I am not able to do use allocation tracker and such. The sysinfo tab works, and I can monitor logcat with filter and such in the bottom pane.
What am I missing here? Obviously the 1.5 device has USB debugging enabled. Why does it not show 'debug' in DDMS? I'm using SDK 1.5_r2 on linux (Ubuntu 9.04), if that makes a difference.

I'm trying to prevent the situation where an updated version of my app restores using a bundle written from a previous version of my app. In other words:
1) app v1 stops and calls onSaveInstanceState
2) app v1 saves the bundle
3) user goes to marketplace and updates the app to v2
4) user starts the v2 version of the app
5) v2 version calls onCreate passing the bundle with v1 data
Is that even possible? Do I need to worry about it?

So I am running an older version IC3ROM (4+ months old). When I left, Froyo was a buzz word, and leak rooting was a dream rumored to never happen. Is it time to upgrade to something new? I can't really complain about IC3ROM, as with Launcher Pro, it has been great. I don't particularly like the idea of starting over, but if there's something out there worth it, I'd give it a go. Opinions? I don't really care about Verizon's interface as I always replace it with launcher pro, but performance and stability is #1 concern.

Does anybody have a link to get an older version of Dialer One? Is there a way that I can revert back to my previous version? I updated it to Version 1.2.6, and I must say the new changes are terrible. Facebook pictures no longer sync. 2.) Calling a number after dialing is more difficult as instead of having a fairly large area to click to call, you have to exactly touch the tiny phone logo, 3.) Before I could click the bar to change from contacts, recent calls, and favorites. Now I have to swipe to go between the three. The one positive with the new upgrade is the developer fixed a bug where the dialer would always crash if you attempted to add a missed call number to your contacts. Not that works fine. But losing the other three things are enough for me to want to go back.

It is pretty easy to install. If you've installed HTC Sync it may cause an Android Debug Bridge error. If thats the case then just open task manager and close the process that starts with FCY or something like that. Once you get past that it will ask you to plug in your phone and install the software.

I've been doing a bit of research, and it seems that Samsung Kies is not meant for (or supported) for North America. Apparently, the older versions of Kies could work on our Captivates and was available to download through Samsung's Europe site. However, the newer versions of Samsung Kies can apparently detect that we've got North American Captivates and will not connect. Anybody have links to the older versions? Doesn't proprietary-ness totally defeat the reason we bought androids in the first place?

I could see there are many APIs available in Android. If I have to create some device driver do I need to use Java(Android) for that also. Or that will be in C?

I just updated my Ubuntu Linux box to Jaunty (9.04). Initially, I had same problem everyone else has on Jaunty i.e. adb doesn't see the device: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. I followed the instructions and 'adb devices' lists my device just fine now, but Eclipse/ADT won't load my app or run it on the device. Every attempt at execution runs on the Emulator. I get the following message in the console: [2009-08-31 21:01:39 - KeyDirector] Automatic Target Mode: Preferred AVD 'avd15' is not available. Launching new emulator. Anyone have ideas on what might have caused this? I tried deleting and re-building the 'avd15' but it didn't help.

I am testing my multiplayer game by running several instances of the emulator (which is, sadly, extremely slow and dis-satisfying). I depend on a little trick using currentTimeMillis() to keep a synchronized clock between the players (but NOT the absolute value of currentTimeMillis() since no two phones are probably set exactly the same)Anyway, I *do* naively assume that two emulators, running on the same PC would return near identical values for calls to currentTimeMillis(), and what I find is that they start off the same, but pull rapidly apart.Which makes me think the underlying implementation of currentTimeMillis() in the emulator is not at all based on the host PC's calendar, and rquires the emulator to get enough Windows compute cycles to be anything close to accurate. (and one emulator is always running at a lower priority to the other, depending on which one is on top)
If this is just an artifact of the emulator, then I can deal with it, but if it implies I have a fundamental misunderstanding of currentTimeMillis(), then that would be something i need to deal with. Part two of the question is: any way I can speed up the emulator? When I run two, are they sharing one of my cores? Can I split them onto separate cores?

Although I have seen several threads and tutorials on this topic, I guess I still have some confusion on how an application can be chosen from a list of applications to display a file.
I have a Activity which has a list view in it. This list view is bound with file paths (so a file browser of sorts). When we click on a specific file type, I need a list of applications that can open that file.
So far this is what I have in the OnItemClick for the list item:
CODE:............
When I run this on my phone, the error is:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android.intent.category.DEFAULT] dat=file:///
When I do the same in a file browser application (downloaded from the marketplace), I get two options (QuickOffice and Word to Go), both of which I have installed on my phone.
Could someone guide me as to what else is needed here? Things I have tried besides the above:
Add the following entries to the manifest:
CODE:................

we have discovered something very strange that we're seeing with android 1.5 phones (hero and eris in particular). it seems like if you install an older version of an app over a newer version of the same app, after you reboot your phone, if you launch the app, you will get the newer version of the app!
once you are in this state, uninstalling and rebooting, and reinstalling different versions of the app will be fine until you reboot your phone. once you reboot your phone, launching the app will revert to the newer version of the app........

I just tried to figure out the build.xml from the SDK 1.5. I used "android update project" an an existing project and got a very short build.xml. When I strip out all the comments, this is what's left:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="com.webxells.ourproduct" > <property file="local.properties"/> <property file="build.properties"/> <property file="default.properties"/> <path id="android.antlibs"> <pathelement path="${sdk-location}/tools/lib/anttasks.jar" /> <pathelement path="${sdk-location}/tools/lib/sdklib.jar" /> <pathelement path="${sdk-location}/tools/lib/ androidprefs.jar" /> <pathelement path="${sdk-location}/tools/lib/apkbuilder.jar" /

Is there an app for choosing which apps you want to use that are already open or whatever. Or is there a button you can press to bring up a task list like you do with you blackberry when u hold the blackberry key and the list of open apps comes out.

New to smartphones. Example: Just bought Picsay Pro. I see the free version is still on the phone. Can I delete it, or does the Pro version utilize and build on the free one? Another example is Documents to Go. OK to delete free versions after upgrading to pay versions?
