I'm UK based and I'm wondering how much of the world can see and download my apps from the market? For example, the Chinese market, which I believe is quite large, can they see UK or US based apps? Or does some kind of specific translation need to be done for this to happen? Or is it a separate market place?

I am creating an application that checks the installation of a package and then launches the market-place with its id.
When I try to launch market place with id of an application say com.mybrowser.android by throwing an intent android.intent.action.VIEW with url: market://details?id=com.mybrowser.android, the market place application does launches but crashes after launch.
Note: the application com.mybrowser.android doesn't exists in the market-place.
MyApplication is my application.
CODE:..........
However, when I try to launch the market place for a package that exists in the market place say com.opera.mini.android, everything works. Log for this case:

I've been using a nice widget called "Timeriffic". You can set up different notification profiles. 6:30 - 10:30pm I get all notifications. After 10:30pm I only get phone calls. Are you aware of a application that does this for email, wireless and other services as well? Was thinking it would be nice to set up a profile that stopped email polling at specific times to save battery life. I usually put the phone into airplane mode...but would like something automatic.

I have developed a small android application and then installed the app using ADB and uploaded the same app with a higher version number (not the string value, but the integer field) to Android market place. I get no notification saying there is an update available for my app. Under Market -> My Downloads tab in Market, the app does not show as installed. When browsing the Market, the app shows as installed but does not say "update available". When I browse to the application and touch install, however, I do receive an "overwrite previous version" warning. Steps i followed: I compiled the APK as unsigned and then created the Private key and singed the app. Then installed the app on my device using ADB. Changed the VersionCode on Manifest file with higher version and then re-compiled the code. Singed the new version of APK and then published the same on Android Market. I waited for more than 12 hours but never get the notification on checking Market->My Downloads. It would be great if some one has tried the similar things, then plz do guide me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI decided to put World of Bombs on the Market place but it ran unsuccessfully. The upload site ask me to change the package name since i've already an app with the same package already there.The thing is i can't see the ADC entry i used to for the contest to supress it and replace by the version i want to put on the market without having to rename. I don't want to rename the app while i just did the contest. Is possible Google to remove all unqualified apps from the contest sandbox. that way i can upload my market version of my app.

I was thinking I would put some put some adds in it and release it for free and maybe I'd make a buck or two.I'm wondering what I need to do before I sign up for this.First, I live in Canada. I assume there might be some sort of problem getting paid from the US?I do not have a company. Can I just make up a name to use for now, and if I start making money then I can register the company name and get a business licence later?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have an global settings variable for an android application, which is accessable as well from any help java classes without giving them context?
I try to explain what I mean.
I have an application version as string value in strings.xml I can get its value from every android activity, but not from help java classes withought giving context What I do now, is saving it in a static variable of my first activity, but it seems, that sometimes it will be erased and set to null.
I currently have an app that has many activities and needs to have a way of maintaining state between these activities.
I use the Application class to do this, declaring my global variables and using getters and setters to interact with my activities.
I was hoping to place a few custom methods in there, so that when I want to do a common task like, for instance, display an error message, I can declare the method in my application class and call it from any activity that uses it
EscarApplication application = (EscarApplication) this.getApplication();
EscarApplication being the name of my application class above.
I have tried to include this method in my application class:
CODE:.....
In the hope that I can call this method from activity without having to redeclare it, but when I call it using something like below I get an null pointer exception:
Visit.this.application.showError("Update error", "An error has occurred while trying to communicate with the server");
Visit being the name of my current activity above.
Should this work, or can I only use getters and setters to change global vars in an Application Class.
EDIT Stack Trace:
CODE:...............
The dialog is declared as such in the application class:AlertDialog alertDialog;
Created in that same class:alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
And the method to call it in that class is as follows:
CODE:.............
And finally, it is called from an activity like so:
CODE:........................
Just downloaded donut sdk and played with global search, very cool, except a small issue. I integrate my application with global search functionality, but global search always shows "More results... xxx (n) " even if there is only 1 result from my application. I've disabled all other applications so that there is enough room for displaying the results of my application for sure. Any hint when it shows result directly and when it shows "More results..."?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know that the Android Market detects and supports in-place upgrades of apps. I know that using developer tools, you can do in-place upgrades of apps. Suppose, though, that you are distributing your APK through other means, whether it be a third-party market (e.g., AndAppStore, SlideME), or just via your own Web site. How do you do in-place upgrades? Is it just a matter of downloading the new APK and telling Android to install it, or is there some other magic that is needed?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to create a global variable store for a list of user defined objects. I have a LinkedList of Feed (a user defined object) that I need to be made available to a new Activity that is created. This list is displayed using a ListView and so when an item of the ListView is clicked, I need the correct Feed index to be 'passed' to the new Activity. I have no problem doing this as I create an Intent and then pass the id of the selected row. I need the new Activity to have access to the LinkedList of Feed objects.
There are different ways to do this (explained here - http://code.google.com/android/kb/framework.html). I want to use the option (quoted from link above): The android.app.Application class The android.app.Application is a base class for those who need to maintain global application state. It can be accessed via getApplication() from any Activity or Service. It has a couple of life- cycle methods and will be instantiated by Android automatically if your register it in AndroidManifest.xml.
I want to use the above method as I could then fill the LinkedList at application start and then use it throughout without any duplicates etc. Does anyone know how the android.app.Application class can be used as a global variable store that can be accessed from other classes? I cannot find any more information on this method of passing information between Activities within a single application. Any information regarding passing user defined objects would be useful and specifically how to get the above idea to work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy family has got three android phones, an HTC Hero, a Samsung Galaxy, and a T-Mobile Pulse, all are running android 1.5 with the latest manufacturer firmware. On the T-Mobile Pulse, when searching for a couple of apps (ones that I have installed on the other two devices), I get returned 'no matches'. For example, if I search for 'BrightAI', which is a developer who has around 8 apps on the market, I get no matches. If I search for individual apps, I get 'no matches'. Searching for the same on either the Hero or Galaxy returns the expected results. Does anyone have any ideas why certain apps are accessible on one device, but not the other?
