Android :: Doing Coding In Linux Through A Virtual Machine On Windows VS Partitioning
Mar 29, 2010
I already have experience with setting up virtual machines, running them and other minor tasks. Im a gamer, so I wont get rid of windows (for now at least...) but I do want to be a great programmer and to be involved with the Open-Source community Id like to know if its a good idea to do my programming in linux through a virtual machine, vs giving it a partitioned section of the HDD. Id like to know about performance pros and cons and functionality.The type of programming I intend to dive into : Android Dev, Web Dev, Desktop Dev...More Android and Web right now though. I do web designing as well, so dreamweaver is added as an "essential". But im sure I can do dreamweaver files and upload them to the server after programming in Linux...Right? And any info on IDE's in Linux for the above mentioned are appreciated, but i would prefer going the coding route and understanding the essence of whats happening "under the covers".

Currently I am using Android emulator for development, but it is very slow. I am looking for some android port that can run on real CPU.
For example I installed this product http://www.android-x86.org/documents/installhowto on VMware, and it seems to work much faster, but I have no idea how to setup network connection here.
The question is if some one is using alternative android setup for development, instead of emulator? If so, a link to configure instructions would be great.

I'm the lead developer of TotalCross, a virtual machine that's just like the one used in Android, and targetted for small devices. Currently, using TotalCross, you write programs completely cross- platform among Palm OS 5, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows 32, Windows CE (2,3,4,5,6) and Java-enabled platforms.
We plan to port TotalCross to Android, but i'm concerned about the legal way. I'm aware that there may be hack C APIs for Android, but will these APIs allow the users to sell their applications in a legal fashion?
Btw, what is legal and what's not legal in Android? I could easily port our VM to Android if there were a standard C api on it. However, all i see is Java APIs. I could also port TotalCross to run over the Java API, but i'm concerned about speed. I believe our VM is faster than the one in Android (actually, it is a couple times faster than the BlackBerry VM).

I am currently writing a paper on the Android platform. After some research, it's clear that Dalvik has room for improvement. I was wondering, what do you think would be the best use of a developer's time with this goal?
JIT compilation seems like the big one, but then i've also heard this would be of limited use on such a low resource machine. Does anyone have a resource or data that backs this up?
Are there any other options that should be considered? Aside from developing a robust native development kit to bypass the VM. For those who are interested, there is a lecture that has been recorded and put online regarding the Dalvik VM.
Any thoughts welcome, as this question appears subjective i'll clarify that the answer I'll accept must have some justification for proposed changes. Any data to back it up, such as the improvement in the Sun JVM when it was introduced, would be a massive plus.

I'm trying to develop a very specific app for my Dell Streak. I want the entire app to run landscape. The Streak has a tilt function that switches the whole OS to a landscape 800x480.
So I want to make an ADT to test in that uses an 800x480 display, but whenever I set the size I get no buttons. The Streak has a Home, Menu and Back button aswell as volume/mute and power, and I need to use some of them for my application.
I'm not worried about the tilting messing up my application. Not yet, anyway. Just need the test environment the right size and with buttons.

I just got X10 with Android. Unlike the blackberry that I used to own I cannot access the microSD card from my linux machine. It detects it but does not open it for file transfers. I replaced the microSD card with the one I had in Blackberry and the phone accepetd it and was able to find all the media files on it. However the linux desktop (Fedora 12) still could not access it. Note this is the same SD card that I used in BB and all the files there were transferred using this linux machine before. Is it something in SE X10 that is blocking this.

I want to run an Android application on Windows using eclipse that has been already developed on Linux OS. I tried to copy the source/res and menifest file of Android application form linux and started creating a new project on windows. I tried to replace the source/res and menifest of newly created Project on windows with one on linux. It was unable to generate R.java file.I wonder if java is portable accross platform then why I couldn't create and compile a new project on Windows from Linux.

I've been looking around for a solution to this - and so far have only found Gmote to be close to what I'm looking for. Actually Gmote hits it on the head, but I wanted to see if there were other options. Here's the setup:
We have a soundboard and speaker system. I would like to hook up a small PC (running either windows or Linux) to the soundboard so that whatever is playing from the computer will come through the speakers. And to control what gets played from the computer, I would like to use my Android phone.
I would consider streaming from my phone if it was reliable enough. I had first looked into streaming to the system via bluetooth - but that wasn't quite stable enough and dropped out too many times.

i have search the web/forum for a windows app that running on the PC you can see at least the apk icon, I have several apks on my PC but when I'm looking for an apk, is hard to remember the name or when trying a new apk is not enough just looking for the name, I may be more visual guy that if I see a nice icon I will try it jajajja.I just found this thread but look die..URL...
is there some application or dev that can easily do an apk viewer, just looking inside the APK folder on the /res/drawable/ the apk icon shows, but how to make it shows at the apk compressed file.

If you've upgraded to official froyo you probably know that downgrading can be difficult, especially if you have an SLCD screen. If you did a branded upgrade (e.g. Vodafone) then the old methods won't work at all.Since current rooting methods won't work on froyo this can be a big problem.I've created a tool that will downgrade Froyo to stock 2.1. It requires a goldcard if your phone is branded. The download details as well as instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

i successfully got into adb in recovery mode fairly easily on my ubuntu 10.4 laptop using the following method- this should also work for a linux live boot from a usb flash drive
in one terminal tail and follow log messages
~$ tail -f /var/log/messages
In another terminal run the loop
Then
1. plugin usb and keep it plugged in
2. remove battery, eject sd card.
3. put battery in
4. press vol- and power
5. after around 6 seconds, your terminal with the log will show something like "new high speed USB..."
6. press vol- to select recovery
7. press the power button
8. IMPORTANT- as soon as you see a new log entry (something like "USB disconnect"), pop in the sd card
check your loop terminal for adb. if it doesn't work, repeat at step 2

I used ROM Manager to Partition my SD card (I have clockwork recovery latest version), I select 512 for EXT and 32 for Swap. Phone reboots and when I check the file manager on my SD card, it reads my SD card has 7069M left. Is it partitioned? if so how can I make my apps Run off of it? If it is, NOW WHAT? How do I use it to actually install Apps on it and Make my Phone faster?

I'm trying to re-partition an SDCard on Android, with root access. What I'm trying to do is resize the 5.9GB partition into 3GB, and then make an EXT partition with the remaining space. I can think of two ways to do this, but I'm a bit stumped in doing either of them: 1) Cross-compile GNU parted, and run it on Android to modify the filesystem in place. This would be my preferred method, but I've been trying to statically compile parted using scratchbox and haven't had much luck, and I haven't been able to dynamically compile for Android in scratchbox either. 2) Directly modify the 512 byte MBR using some utility on my computer, and then dd the file on Android. I have a tool to view the MBR (mbrwiz), but I don't know how to edit it. Does anybody have any suggestions for either, or possibly a third route?

I'm a beginner android developer, and I've only been coding for a few months. I'm testing some layouts in a project using eclipse, and I'm following the guidelines from a textbook (beginning android 2.0) and I'm getting some rather perplexing errors. The first error is in my main.xml. my code is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal"

Let me first state that I do not know Java. I'm a .NET developer with solid C# skills, but I'm actually attempting to learn Java and the Android SDK at the same time (I know it's probably not ideal, but oh well, I'm adventurous :)) That said, my end goal is to write a streaming media player for Android that can accept Windows Media streams. I'm okay with restricting myself to Android 2.0 and greater if I need to. My current device is a Motorola Droid running Android 2.0.1. There is one online radio service I listen to religiously on my PC that only offers Windows Media streaming, and I'd like to transcode the stream so my Android device can play it.
Is such a thing possible? If so, would it be feasible (i.e., would it be too CPU intensive and kill the battery)? Should I be looking into doing this with the NDK in native code instead of Java? I'm not opposed to writing some sort of service in between that runs on a desktop computer (even in C#), but ideally I'd like to explore purely device-based options first. Where should I start?
