Android :: How To Fetch Market Data When There Is No API
Aug 20, 2009
As far as I can tell, there is no API (official or unofficial) to access information about Apps on the Android Market (info such as Title, Icon, Description, Downloads, Comments, etc..)
However, there are a few websites that have managed to compile this information anyway.
My question is: How is this being done?
A couple of guesses.
Manually (not likely, due to volume) Implemented the protocol used by the official app (by decompiling or observing packets) Running some kind of debugger with the official app to extract the live data Using some kind of automation + screen shots + text recognition (seems complicated) Modifying the (open) source to write a log file
I'm just curious how this was done because I sure can't figure it out.

As we know, the apps in the apple app store has a unique itunes link, and we can fetch app data about the app from app store through the link.I am wondering how can i achieve this in the android market, just like the website http://www.androlib.com/ did?As long as I know, each app in the android market has a ID, which just like "com.gabrouze.magic", and the QR Code can be viewed in "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=135x135&chl=market://search?q=pname:com.gabrouze.magic".

I have a doubt in XML parsing. I'm parsing a XML file. That XML file contains more than 14000 lines. I'm fetching 15 tag in that xml file. It is taking more than 7 times to fetch. Because 14000 lines * 15 tag. That much time it is taking. Any idea for this to reduce time. Or give some other coding to fetch xml data easily. No I'm using RSS Reader to fetch data as like in Java.

I have been in problem of the Activity life-cycle. All though i read lots of docs on it put on getting clear picture on it. I have Activity A. In that activity I have menu options. If we click any option it opens the respective activity like if i click on 2nd button it opens Activity B Now again Activity B has same options into it. When user clicks on 1st button then i need to go back to activity A. So using this. Intent intent = new Intent().setClass(context, Articles.class); startActivity(intent); So always it starts new instance of activity and fetch data from DB. I want something like Activity A can be resumed back as it was.

I was working on implementing a more advanced list view then the standard one they teach you in basic tutorials, and I did find a great tutorial explaining how to create your own Adapter and such not. http://www.softwarepassion.com/android-series-custom-listview-items-a...
I do have a working version of the tutorial and I am currently in the process of changing the list to suit my needs, but there are a few issues I am stumped on. If your run the tutorial code it creates a little progress dialog saying that it is retrieving data. In my application it is going to be fetching data from the internet and storing it in an ArrayList of custom objects. However if I where to rotate the screen the progress dialog pops up again, I have no clue on how to set it up so that when it rotates that it doesn't recreate everything and re-fetch the data and process it again.

I have some xml files, and I keep them in raw folder. Now, the problem is that I have to use them with variable name according to my application condition. But I don't know how to fetch them. The main thing is that I am not getting that how to give the path of my xml file in application.
For example:
My file application.xml is stored in the raw folder and I have to access it with a variable name.
String xmlName= application.xml;
How can I fetch my xml through xmlName variable?

Deleting an application results in having more memory available in your G1. But doing so does not affect the memory used by the Market app; in fact, the memory used by the app grows over time and there seems to be no way to clear the data, or is there a way?

I was wondering if there is a way that I could access the market data from Google's (android's) servers, in a similar fashion to Cyrket.com (such as an open web service, etc)
This would definitely increase the market's potential and usability, and I was wondering how I could go about getting that data, since cyrket obviously has a way.

I want to use the SQLite clause LIMIT and OFFSET, so that I can fetch my records in pages. But, though I can find the LIMIT clause in the SQLiteQueryBuilder.query() which would effectively limit the number of record in my result.

I've noticed lately that some app recommender programs seem to get data off the android market. I'm wondering how I could retrieve information, such as screen shots, description, developer, number of downloads, rating, etc...
I've done many searches and I haven't found any solutions. It would be nice to be able to use that info to be able to see a rating for an app inside an app chooser, for example. Or perhaps be able to track changes and rating over time and version history, etc...
Is there an API to access that information? Is there a way to parse the data from a website? Or is there a complicated hack involved?

I came from a Iphone 3G on AT&T and found the Push to be very unreliable on that phone. I would just rather set the phone to fetch every 15 minutes. Will the fetch use more battery than having the phone on push?

1. My work email is set up under a Corporate Sync header, not an email header. This seems to email that arrive to not show up on my notifications header or notify me the way I've got the other email accounts to notify (ring, vibrate, etc.). Is there a way to change this?
2. Can the fetch schedule be reduced to anything less than 15 minutes? That seems to be a very long time to wait for an email to arrive.
