Question for anyone who thinks they know: Can Android interface with USB devices, like Phidgets? I looked, but I found nothing indicating it is possible or impossible. Has anyone done any work in this area? My goal here is to plug a Phidget Encoder into the Android to stream data to an app I'm writing.

With the new NDK R3 Android it is possible to write OpenGL ES 2.0 apps targeting Android 2.0+. Is there a list of devices which support it? Also, is there a flag for Android Market, that an app requires OpenGL ES 2.0?
after some internet based research I didn't found helpfull information about NFC support on android. Is there anyone out there who has information about this? I know that there is an open source project called libnfc.org running and also some other stuff from Contactless Data Inc. Since I'm dealing with a very cool NFC app I'm interested in new devices or features which can support that app. Mobile handsets with Android and NFC functionalities would be a very cool thing.

I know the Nexus One recently added multi-touch support via an update, and I believe webOS is also multi-touch enabled.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI read the official document about supporting multiple screens http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
According to that document, I should just create different directories for different resolultion.
Now the question. How to support devices with normal screen and high density or low density?
I ask it because, there are two posibilities (WVGA800 (480x800) and WVGA854 (480x854)) and (WQVGA400 (240x400) and WQVGA432 (240x432)) and I don't know where to store some background images for them.
I would take drawable-normal-hdpi or drawable-normal-ldpi, but how to make difference between 480x800 and 480x854 or between 240x400 and 240x432?!

Basically I'm wondering if it will tell me if I'm doing something that won't work on older versions of the OS.
I have an application in the Market called Coverage Mapper.
In my Market account, it's setup as follows: Free Copy Protection off Available in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, United States
The relevant parts of my manfiest can be found at http://pastebin.ca/1904517
Two people have told me they can't see it in the Market. One is using an unknown device on WIND Mobile (Canada). The other is using a Motorola DEXT (Android 1.5, GSM-based, has a GPS) on Bell (Canada).
Any idea why they can't see it? Would I be better off just opening it up to all countries?
I have a feeling like it might have to do with the uses-feature elements in my manifest, but even after reading all the documentation, I'm still not sure about it.
There is a variety of devices on the market, with different screen sizes, resolutions and pixel density.
What are some layout preferences or tips/tricks that are generally used to make sure the app looks the same across devices?
Has anyone seen that their applications built against Android 2.0 (minSdkVersion="5") are not showing up at all in the market for 2.2 devices? Does anyone know a workaround (aside from building for 2.2).

Here is the code...
I bought a stereo bluetooth receiver from DealExtreme for $13 so I could use it in my car. It has a built in mic, so if calls come in, I can pick them up, but I drive a convertible, so it's too noisy in the car to use that.
I also have a jawbone bluetooth headset that I use in the car...it works great for phone calls in a noisy enviroment.
I just discovered that if I go to Settings:Wireless Controls:Bluetooth Settings and long press on the BCK-08 (the stereo bluetooth module), I can select options, and uncheck the 'phone audio'.
Now, I can use both at the same time...and the cool thing is that if a call comes in while listening to music, it mutes the music till I hang up, then starts it back up where it left off!
I know there isn't bluetooth API in 1.0 SDK, but I have a doubt. I need to know the visible bluetooth devices. That is, I only need do a scan of the bluetooth devices and save the diferent addresses. I don't need connect to them.
I have read here
http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread...
that API "only expose functionality to use/control headsets (audio profile)."
And now my question: It is possible do this functionality? Can I find which bluetooth devices are visible?
I'm looking to create a button in my app that essentially does the same thing as if a user went to "Settings"->"Wireless & Networks"- >"Bluetooth settings" and opted to connect (or disconnect) to a
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe acquired a Samsung Moment today, and find that it's 3D performance is very poor compared to the HTC and Motorola devices. I've tried all the tricks I know (color depths, rendering options), but can't get much out of it. Rotating a single textured quad is jerky. I understand that the Galaxy was missing a software component, and that once a surrogate was added, the 3D performance was acceptable. Does anybody have the real low-down on this issue? Specifically: * Do others also find the Moment to be a poor 3D performer? * Is there any word about Samsung fixing this? * Am I missing something obvious?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect to connect to my T-Mobile G1 to test a simple android app I an creating. I cannot get it to show up in the list of connected android devices. Here are the details: - 32-bit Windows XP - I have enabled USB Debugging on my device - I am not prompted with the New Hardware Wizard when I plug my device in, it is merely seen as a new removable drive. It does not appear under any other categories in Device Manager, nor is there a new "Unknown Device" entry anywhere to be found - I have tried "Update Driver" and select the driver that Google provides for their official developer devices, but it says "this driver does not match your device" or something to that effect. Probably because it is expected a device type other than "Disk Drive" - I have tried uninstalling the device under "Disk Drives" and plugging it in again but it always gets reinstalled automatically as a "Disk Drive" - I have tried uninstalling the device, manually installing the Google driver from the INF file and plugging in the device and it is still only recognized as a "Disk Drive" - Most importantly, I get a blank device list when I run "adb devices" from the Android SDK tools directory before and after each step I tried After hours of scouring the web I get the distinct impression that a new device category should be popping up in Device Manager if the driver is installed correctly, but I have not been able to get the device to come up as anything other than a new "Disk Drive"

View 4 Replies View RelatedToday, I placed our new app onto the market store.
