Is there any Android browser reference/documentation for Web app developers? Something like Apple's Safari Web Content Guide would be fantastic.
I am exploring options to make Android Web app more native-like.

I'm using Eclipse with the Android SDK. I installed The SDK platform Android 1.6, API 4 using Android SDK and AVD manager, but I can't find the corresponding documentation in the list of the available packages (there's only the doc for the API 7). Where can I find it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedA small notice here to say I found an error in the documentation, when building a radio button context menu in XML.
On this page, in the Menus section, under 'Elements and Attributes' for the <group> tag. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resourc...
"checkableBehavior - Whether the items are checkable. Valid values: none, all (exclusive / radio buttons), single (non-exclusive / checkboxes)"
This should actually be the other way round: * all (non-exclusive / checkboxes) * single (exclusive / radio buttons)
I am Graduating in Computing Science, and my final project is a complete research in Android's Platform, with a development of an application. I would like to know how can I get the complete documentation, beacause my research is very thorough, and I relly on books and documentation. The current site I am reading about methods and activities, etc is the Dev Guide on developer.android.com. I don't know if is it complete there. But if you know, could you please show me the link, or tell me how to get it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been looking around for this for a long time but can never seem to find it in the Android documentation. There's all sorts of advanced things I see, but I can never find any solid documentation - there's the shapes package, but it provides no insight on how to use them in xml. The best I can do so far is finding other people's examples.
Is there some magical documentation that exists for the XML shapes?

I haven't taken the plunge to root, and not sure if I will and the instructions for screen shot on Droid are basically chinese to me because I have no skill when it comes to this sorta thing.I just want an app that will take a screenshot without root.People like me would pay for an app like this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI noticed WebView seemed to have some new methods I didn't remember from before. Unfortunately I can't tell exactly which ones are new, without actually trying them and waiting for the SDK to catch the mistake.Could the docs please state in which API release a method, class, interface, enum etc was added? This is pretty fundamental to know when trying to figure out how to implement something.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA few months ago Google sent top market developers a feww phone (Droid or Nexus).I was one of them and received a Droid.I just now called in to activate the Droid on my Verizon account and was told that it is not activated.They said that the ESN number is tied to a business account and currently active.Verizon said the only thing I can do is to contact Google, who sent me the phone, and work it out with them.The paperwork with the phone came with no numbers or email addresses.I have tried calling the Nexus support line, they could not direct me anywhere. I have tried emailing the automated robots that sent me emails about the phone.Is there anyone at Google that I can contact that would be able to help with this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using the Android documentation for a few days now, and it is quite good and easy to read. Apart from that I noticed that I missed something, and now I found out what it is: Examples and comments.
If you look at the PHP documentation (e.g. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php for the PHP substr() function) you will see many syntax-highlighted examples and comments by users.
Of course there are examples in the Android documentation, especially in the Dev Guide category - they just are not at the right place if one searches the reference for a specific method or functionality. What do you think about this?
Does anyone know if there is documentation explaining the SMS content provider?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe documentation does not make the interation between onUpgrade() and onCreate() clear.
When implementing onCreate() should this create the database at version 1, assuming that onUpgrade will apply all of the patches to bring it up to version x (lets say version 5 for example)? Or should onCreate build the latest version of the database, and onUpgrade is only used to upgrade legacy clients.
I kind of prefer the first, because it effectively means that the same SQL is executed for everybody. Whereas the second options means that there is a potential for onCreate to build something slightly different to the succession of patches built by onUpgrade.
I can always make onCreate call into onUpgrade, however, this is the kind of implementation detail that should go into the javadocs...
I'm trying to find some official android documentation that discusses sleep mode, with a focus on issues that might be of relevance to app developers. For example, things like:
1. What causes a device to enter / exit sleep mode?
2. How are running processes impacted when the device enters sleep mode? (I believe they continue to exist, but don't execute because cpu activity is suspended. When the device wakes up execution picks up where it left off?)
There is some good info in the API docs for PowerManager and WakeLock, but nothing there that explicitly states what I have assumed in point 2 above. Are the above issues (and any other relevant issues) documented anywhere?
Is there a poster showing all the class and methodes offered by the android SDK and their inter dependence?

On the documentation page "Developing on a Device" http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html there may be two errors in the section "Setting up a Device for Development."
First: To run (not debug) an app on a device, you do not need to set the "debuggable" attribute in the manifest. The documentation implies this is a requirement. It may be a good idea, but, when stepping an absolute beginner through the process of running their first app, this is an unnecessary detour.
Second: The instructions for turning on USB debugging don't mention the Settings activity: "On the device, go to the home screen, press MENU, select Applications > Development, then enable USB debugging."
The first error is more of a quibble, but the second seems to be actual misinformation that may puzzle a beginner, wondering why there isn't an "Applications" item on the Home app menu. In most cases this should go "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging," and the menu key is not involved.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for some fellow developers to build a few applications that work together to allow the android phone to take advantage of cheap telephony services provided over the internet. These are sms, voip, calling cards and similar such services.I have been investigating this quite a bit and developing an app to work with PennyTel but i have discovered an issue with the Android OS. Android is not designed to let you replace low level systems in your app and there for there is no way to capture out going sms etc. This means that to write an app that sends all out going sms via pennytel is impossible and that the only way around this is to write your own sms client like ChompSMS and i am sure this will apply to other parts of the phone as well.What i am looking to do is make a reusable system that uses intents to do things. A complete sms application that uses an intent to send the sms so that more sms providers can be added later, a dialer and outgoing call system that will fire an event for another app to make the call etc.What I want is sever apps that use intents not just to open their app but also to choose the outgoing their service uses. personally i want to write one of the outgoing paths and i am looking for some developers who would be interested in writing the more front end apps like the dialer and sms applications.If anyone is interested let me know as it is just too much work for one person and i am sure your apps will be used by many people as more and more people could right services they could be hooked into.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found that there is a significant lack of documentation of WebView's ability to communicate with Java via WebView.addJavaScript() method. First, the debug document http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/debug-tasks.html#Debugg... appears to no longer work. Second, what object types should we expect when going to and from JavaScript. I have done some trial and error and it appears that complex types can cross the boundary, for example java.util.Vector. However when a Java method returns a byte array to JavaScript it has a type of undefined and I have been unable to coerce it to any other type. Finally, there is great potential with this interface and with some more attention we could go far.
