Android :: Getting Ready To Publish - Signing / Aligning Of Application
Nov 10, 2010
I'm just about ready to Publish my application. I have a question about the Signing/Aligning of the application. In looking at the Android documentation they say to run "ant release" to compile the application in release mode. Then to sign and align the apk run "jarsigner" and "zipalign". I had used "android create project" to create my build.xml.
I modified it to run proguard. I find that when I run "ant release" it appears that signing is done as part of the process (I'm prompted for my keystore password) and the apk is zipaligned. I guess I'm confused that the documentation makes it 3 steps, "run ant release" then jarsign, then zipalign. BUT, my "ant release" seems to do everything. Is the documentation not upto date? Is it safe/acceptable to just run "ant release"?

I have a paid application, that I recently published.
For one reason or another, I didn't make a backup copy of the key signature.
After fixing some bugs, I tried to sign the application again as an update, through Eclipse's export as a signed app wizard.
On the screen where the alias is usually selected, i get a message saying "Invalid Keystore Format."
My real issue is how to handle publishing the update as a new, separate application, with regard to the users who have already purchased the application.
Would I issue refunds for the original purchase for users that purchase the new, separate application?

I am about to finish my Android application. I would like to provide lite version and more complete paid pro version. Unfortunately, Google does not allow Australian developers to sell applications and I don't have any friends in US or UK.
Does anyone know of a person/company who would publish my pro application on my behalf? Google search did not bring up any results.

I got the screens and code all worked out, I want to export and sign the application for public distribution but the documentation on this is overwhelming. Any hints on signing the app and all that jazz?

I have an application which has some of it's activities restricted via my own permission. The permission is published in the manifest of the application A and a second application B should request this permission and then be able to call an activity from app A. Both applications belong to me and are signed with the same certificate (they share the same keystore and alias/password from it). Application A gets granted the permission but app B gets never granted the permission! Logcat tells me about this during the installation and the app crashes with an security exception when trying to start the activity from app A. What the heck am I doing wrong? Could it be something with the application signing? Please help me, I'm totally out of ideas.

I have my application run on development environment (eclipse - testing using device), then i do right click on my project folder - android tools - export signed application package, then i create new key store and add my information there, then it'll produce the .apk then i put it up on my own webserver (I intend to put it on my own web server and android market place as well) but then, once i try to download my .apk from my testing handset - it said:
"cannot download. the content the content is not supported on this phone"
this is weird, since i do my testing on this same handset as well. so my question are:
- what is the proper way to sign my app so it can be downloaded all the way through my own web server?
but I still can put it up on android market as well? - I have my android market account.
-is there any walk-through for it?
Well Hope someone can give me the answer, I really appreciate your help!

I have 2 tools - 1 : APK Manager - 2: Signare (both have their official posts on xda)
I also have jdk 1.6 update 32 installed on my windows 7 x64 bit.
I have created a private key signature manually using the -keytool -v -keystore command and also have created a private key signature using signare.exe app
I am able to sucessfully decompile and recompile apk files (non system apk - example an adw theme) . Now when i am signing the .apk file, the following takes place.
-when i sign it with a test key uaing apk manager, i am able to put it in my sd card and install it and it works fine.
- now when i sign it with a private key signature ( any of the two that i have created), it gets signed successfully but when i put it in my sd card and install it , i get an error message "Application Not Installed".
I really need to know how to ressolve this issue so that i can sign it with a private key .

We are migrating to a new Android developer account and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about the best way to transition apps to the new account.
From what I can find, the only suggestions I've seen were to publish an update to the old app notifying the user of the new updated app. This requires us to publish the apps under a new package name which we would like to avoid if possible.

I published an application that stores data in a local database.
Now I have to publish an update to this application to fix some little bugs, but I am afraid that downloading and installing the update will delate the local database associated with the previous version.
I would like to know how the update system works. Will installing an update completely delete all the apk, files, databases associeted with the previous version?
If so, how can I avoid this in my code?

Seeking help to design a layout as shown here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AQhgDtGvE2HgZGZ6cmtua185MTd0eGdyZmc&hl=en
The major challenge I face is aligning the components at desired positions. Please refer the three buttons(icons) and the way they are positioned.
Literally, going nuts, thinking how to position those exactly at the desired places.

Im messing with imageviews and I am able to align a single imageview in the center horizontally with android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
Now my main problem is that I have X imageviews and when I align them all like that, and then use the android:layout_toRightOf="", they just start from the middle.

Is it true that if you have a ViewGroup, say a RadioGroup, you can't align items outside the group to ones inside the group (using toRightOf, alignTop, etc.) That is, does toRightOf, toLeftOf and the rest only work with views at the same hierarchy level? I was trying to label some vertical radio buttons today and find I can only align to the RadioGroup and not the buttons inside the group.
If I remove the RadioGroup, then I can align things OK. There are lots of workarounds, of course, so I'm not stuck. Just thought I'd ask and document. And, BTW, where is the hot sh*t resource editor for Android so I can bang out screens quickly like the iphone guys, using a visual interface designer that knows all these silly interactions? The tools I've seen so far have been toys.

I am using relative layout to superimpose one smaller image on top of a larger one. I want the bottom-right corner of the smaller image to coincide with B-R corner of the larger image. Im using margin parameters in my layout xml (specifying measurement in dips) but this doesnt seem to work for all devices and resolutions - in some cases the small image is shifted by 4-5px from the border. Is it possible to specify the position of the smaller image without pixel values? Ie with gravity or something?

I'm just about done with development and emulator testing and I'm unclear how to proceed with getting my application ready for actual device testing and them publishing.
Here's my main concern: I have around 600 images that I will need to have loaded (on initial installation) onto an sd card. What is the best way to do this? HTTP? Is there an automated process? Is this handled by an installation script.
Are there documents that cover this type of scenario?
When it comes time for actual publishing the application, again, how will I handle loading the images onto the sd card during the initial installation?

In terms of publishing apps for developers that reside in countries where they are not currently able to sell their apps via the Android Market, is this practice okay? Does it violate the Terms and Conditions of being a seller in any way?

I am working on an app that uses the rating bar (stars) to allow the user to grade information. The SDK version is 3 (OS 1.5 - <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3">, but the rating stars are shown incorrectly for devices with OS 2.1. I read some posts in the forum that suggest to upgrade the SDK version to 4 (OS 1.6 and higher), however this will excluse 1.5 users to download my application, and I do not want this to happen, because there are still a lot of 1.5 devices.
This makes me wonder: Is it possible to publish two versions for the same app simultaneously? For instance, publishing one APK for version 1.6 or higher version and another APK for 1.5 version simulataneously in the Market, both intended for the same application.
Is there a workaround for these kind of situations?

This may sound like a weird question, but I have developed a mobile web application which works well with Android (browser). Would it be possible for me to somehow list this website/application on the marketplace? Or does it strictly have to be a downloadable app?

Like the Alarm Clock, Calculator, etc. I see that the source is available at :
http://source.android.com/
For example, the alarm clock I'm going to modify will "look exactly the same" as the built-in one, but there'll be a lot more functions. Is it legal to extend the functionality of the Alarm Clock and publish it as paid application?

I'm developing a mobile web browser application for Android which supports complex script rendering of Indic scripts.
For this, I used a currently available open source web browser for Android (which is licensed under GPLv3) & modified its code to support complex script rendering.
Now the code of the browser is from that open source app & the code of the complex script rendering part is from me.
My question is, Can I publish this application in a different name under the same license? (i.e. If the name of the open sourse app is "ABC Browser", can I publish the modified app which is able to support complex script rendering in a different name such as "XYZ Browser" under GPLv3 license?)
