Android :: Device Seeding Program For Top Android Market Developers
Mar 2, 2010
I just received an email about Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers:
Subject: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers From: android-market-seed...@google.com
Due to your contribution to the success of Android Market, we would like to present you with a brand new Android device as part of our developer device seeding program. You are receiving this message because you're one of the top developers in Android Market with one or more of your applications having a 3.5 star or higher rating and more than 5,000 unique downloads.
In order to receive this device, you must click through to this site, read the terms and conditions of the offer and fill out the registration form to give us your current mailing address so that we can ship your device.
You will receive either a Verizon Droid by Motorola or a Nexus One. Developers with mailing addresses in the US will receive either a Droid or Nexus one, based on random distribution. Developers from Canada, EU, and the EEA states (Norway, Lichtenstein), Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore will receive a Nexus One. Developers with mailing addresses in countries not listed above will not receive a phone since these phones are not certified to be used in other countries.

Does anyone know if the Nexus One that Google is sending developers as part of the Device Seeding Program is different from the ones people get when they order them from Google's website?
Different packaging? Different firmware? Different pattern on the case?

I am assuming no-one is going to send me Froyo OTA so where can I get a copy of Froyo to flash onto my Nexus One? As I use it for testing my apps I want it to be as close as possible to what a user would have and definitley do not want to root the phone.

I (as well as many others) received an email telling us that Google would like to give us a new Android device for "your contribution to the success of Android's community forums". The email continued asking us to fill out the form by Monday, March 15th, 6pm PST.
I filled out the form as soon as the email hit my inbox (long before the due date) and have still not heard anything back from them (10 days after the due date). Has anyone else heard anything back about this?
This isn't the "Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers" but the "Android Developer Device Seeding Program" that I'm talking about here.

Does anyone know if the Android Developer Device Seeding Program is over? Was it only applications that had 5k+ downloads a 3.5* rating in March? I recently published my first app to the market and in 2 weeks it has reached 5k+ downloads and has a 4* rating.

Apparently I'm unable to activate the one I received because it's "pending activation on another account". And I have to have Google release it from that account to activate it.

I develop Android appliations for a living.As always, we have a very short time to get a finished product out the door and we're relying on the Android to be one of our flagship phones.I've got no time for "phone exploration" or hobbying around. I need technical information, and IN PARTICULAR, information about the hard problems.The easy problems that everyone writes about is not helpful for what I need. I want to be able to pick up the phone and call someone on the Google development team to get some quick answers and information that's not found in the documentation, (which by the way has more holes in it than the moon has craters). And, I'm willing to pay for the kind of support I need. I can even visit Google peeps at the development lab in Kirkland.I can make the case to my boss for paying for this kind of live support, but I can't make the case that "I just can't do stuff" on the Android. What I need has GOT to be done and quick.And I need quick technical information.

I am adding a menu option in my newest application that will allow users to view all of our other applicatiosn we've published to the market place. The problem we are having is we created a second more business like developer account, but want to let users also see all of our old apps. I know how to have the search point to one developer, i.e. pub:<developer name>, but does anyone know of a way to have it search multiple? So that when they click the button all the apps from the older developer we had along with the newer business developer we created?

I'm just browsing the market on my phone and every few games down there are utterly shite apps from a developer called "Aroma planning" which are pictures of women which you are supposed to touch.
I'd love a feature where you could block every app from that developer but I wouldn't know how or who to contact to ask if it could be implimented.
As far as I know, the Market isn't a part of the open source components in Android and is Google's property but does anyone know if there is a contact email address for the android market developers so I could ask if such a feature could be added?
If I see another miniskirt touch game by that arsehole I'll probably end up snapping my nexus one in rage.
Edit: Doh, the feature requests forum is here: Feature Requests / Suggestions - Android Market

As Google's current support for paid apps in the Android Market is limited to the US market only (and even on the US market, would not support ADP1 phone), I really think you guys should stop posting your apps in there. Please make yourself a favor being able to reach the whole world and post your apps on androidgear or SlideMe or handango.

Could developer upload 'component'/SDK to android market? Now it seems only have 2 type: 'application' and 'Game'. I just wonder if android market has the mechanism for developers to upload component-wise programs which can be used in others's application. Then developers may get benefit from earch others. Or Is android provide a easy way to invok and communicate with other application from one application?

My wish is to know how I can program a mobile website, that fit to all mobile phones.
Are there any special approaches to recognize a device and render the code according to it?
Which tools and coding languages are required?
My first thought was to hold the website in XML, which would be parsed depending on the device.
You have to consider old phones, even devices with only wap support.
For example: The mobile website has to recognize Nokia N75 and render/send the code that looks optimal for this device. Same thing with an iPhone or a Motorola Razr.

My first activity is creating a second activity within its onCreate:
CODE:............
The second activity has EditText views for the username and password along with submit and cancel buttons. When either button is pushed, the text from username and password is sent back to activity one (via onActivityResult), which connects to a server to see if the username is available. While connecting to the server showDialog is used to show a ProgressDialog. When the server responds, the ProgressDialog is dismissed and an AlertDialog is shown. This works fine as long as the device is not rotated.
Here's the problem: if the user rotates the device from within the second activity and pushes submit, the first activity re-invokes its onCreate, which ends up launching the second activity again since the username and password are still null.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get around this?
Is there a method that could be used to pass data from activity-2 to activity-1's onCreate? I wouldn't want to use a database in this case, as that seems like overkill.
I've thought about containing the server communication and dialogs to activity 2, but then I'd have duplicate server code in activity 1 and activity 2 (activity 1 connects to the server for other things too). Another issue I'd have with this approach is that the user has an option to cancel creating the password, in which case I want the app to finish. If I called finish from activity 2, activity 1 would appear and I don't want that to show unless a username and password have been created.
It just occurred to me - if I could replace activity 2 with a dialog it might make things simpler. The dialog view needs to have 2 EditTexts and 2 buttons. Can I create something like this and use the showDialog method?

I have noticed that some apk's that cost money on android market are available to download from some torrent sites for free. I don't think many of the developers here enjoys that very much. So my question is if there are ways in Android to get around this so that you can't copy a program from device to device?

Had a read through the android documentation on WifiManager and thought I understood it but when I tried to code an example I keep running into problems.
I had the following code
CODE:...........
I had tried something similar to turn off sound
CODE:...............
This works fine, but the wifi part always gives an error, was just wondering if I'm missing something obvious as I can't seem to work it out?

I've got an HTC Desire & downloaded a few apps/widgets from the market today. They seem to have downloaded ok and I can see them sitting in the 'downloads' tab of the market...but how do I actually get them from here onto my device to use them?
(Things I've tried...clicking on them in 'downloads' just shows more info on them and clicking install just re-downloads them, longholding just brings up info about them, I can't find a 'downloads' folder on my mobile, they aren't appearing with the other widgets or programs, adding the market on my mobile just links me back to the market homepage...i cant see anything in the user manual or learn more sections that is of help on this - they both say to go to all programs and my downloads but I don't have a my downloads just downloads section in the market which doesn't seem to move them to my device?).

I just launched my app VLC Remote and was surprised to see that there isn't a way to post a link to the app on the market that works both on my android device and also in my browser.
-so I made a way, and I'm opening it up for all-comers.
What it does is lets you post an http link like this
http://and-download.hobbyistsoftware.com/android/download?name=VLC Remote&q=pname:com.hobbyistsoftware.android.vlcremote
If someone clicks on the link from an android device, then the link opens in the market. If they click from their computer, then it offers to send them a link by email (so they can click on the link on their device).
the download emails have a (subtle) advert for my app, but the feature is clearly your app!
details are here:[url]
