Android :: How To Get Phone App Templates?
Jun 20, 2010Are there Android app templates, similar to the iPhone SDK templates?

Are there Android app templates, similar to the iPhone SDK templates?
Every app I make starts out with a number of common base classes, interfaces, utility classes and a basic package structure that has been working for me. Is there a way for me to set up a project template in Eclipse that will give me all of the basic Android project stuff PLUS a bunch of custom packages, classes and interfaces? I guess I could just put all of this stuff into one or more libraries as opposed to creating a whole project template, so if you have a preferred approach or information/links/etc on how to do any of the above, please share (I'm relatively inexperienced with Eclipse, so the more detail the better).

Is there someplace I can find a similar thing for android? i.e sample web pages with css, sample templates, navigation etc. If not, what suggestions would you have to offer to someone lookin to build a web page for android?

Firefox pulls 100 records in 250 ms, drops it in to a template, links the data to the markup, and we sit back and drink margaritas.
Boss walks in and says he wants an iPhone app. I bet we need an Android app too.
What frameworks could we use to easily jump from our Microsoft comfort zone in to the wide, wide world of the Apple iPhone / iPad, along with a follow-up Android baby.
I imagine we could use our JSON controller methods to communicate. Is there some type of a client side JavaScript consuming app framework we could get a reasonable Website like interface re-working? They didn't like the idea of simply running the whole thing in Safari, which works pretty well.
Needs:
Send and receive JSON objects
Some type of template engine so we can pair up objects to markup, or at least some way to separate design from programming
Something similar to JQuery would be nice
A good editor with auto-complete and highlighting, something that compares to VS2010
It took us two years to incorporate design patterns, Agile methods, and Domain Driven concepts using MVC and Javascript. We may have two or three months to re-produce the same functions.

Has anyone download the template pack zip file from
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/05/android-icon-guideline...
I get the following error as the download never goes through signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.
Opening the menu icon template file from the Android Icon Templates Pack just shows two icon shapes in Photoshop CS2 on my PC, but there should be many more. I assume the file is corrupted or I still don't have the specifically needed version of Photoshop. Can anyone please provide a complete and compatible version of the Menu_Icons_master.psd? It would be sufficient to have all the basic Android menu icon shapes as .pdf files. From the .psd I can still read the gradients styles and so on. A few more details what I have tried so far.
I just downloaded the Android Icon Templates Pack v1.0 mentioned on the site:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_desig...
Extracting the zip, the .psd file Menu_Icons_master.psd can be found in the menu folder. Opening it in my Photoshop CS2 first brought an error message that DroidSans font could not be found - I solved this issue by installing the DroidSans font from:
http://damieng.com/blog/2007/11/14/droid-font-family-courtesy-of-goog...
Restarting Photoshop and opening the file now brings no error message, but only the icon shapes for a house and a star are shown, missing all other menu icon shapes.
i'm looking for a way to make phonecalls with my computer+Logitech G230, through my android device (Jiayu G4 Advanced)
The Remotecall app in Playstore still requires me to pick up my phone in order to actually hear something..
its got all the other features i'd like to use: answer calls from my PC, make calls from pc (from , for example, the outlook contactlist), call Log capability; but i have to pick up my phone when i probably can just hear it through my headphone (connected to PC)
I think i should be looking for some sort of voip server on my phone and let my computer act as voip client, but i'm not entirely sure about that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question for those in the know. I am interested in purchasing an android-capable phone in the near future..I really like what it offers. My brother has a G1 (Mobile USA), which has piqued my interest in the Android platform. My question is: Is the app store synced with every kind of Android-capable phone, or just that specific phone? If I was to buy a HTC Magic, would it use the same app store as the G1? AFAIK, some other major platforms, such as Symbian do not sync, and it's 'every phone for itself', but I was thinking that Android was more synergic.

I have my HTC Desire and the Facebook application is the worst thing it should happen. It sync all my friends phone numbers and mixes with all my other phone numbers. Can some one in clear state of mind ask Android/Facebook to give us the option to select what friends we want in our phone list? I like the Facebook app but deleted it once it messes my phone!

The problem with this is I'm using up my 3g internet on my phone a lot more and i'd like to do things like update my apps and check twitter more but i'm scared i'll run out. By plugging my phone into my laptop, is there a way to borrow the internet from my laptop for my phone?

I made a very simple application to start playing around with Android development. It works fine on the emulator, but it gives me the following error when I try to install it on my HTC Hero (v1.5): The application Simple Dial (process com.foo.simpledial) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (Force Close button) and on in the Eclipse console, I get the following message:

I did put 'android:debuggable="true"' inside the application tag on the manifest.xml
I was wondering if there is an SMS activity log somewhere on the Hero / Android phone?
I could do with the telephone number of a text message I received but deleted without thinking!
If I could find a log then I could get the number? I'm not interested in the text itself, just the number from which it came.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI would be grateful for your well-informed suggestions.In my own naivety I purchased a Blackberry Curve, and it's next to useless to me since I don't have the web service (too expensive), it doesn't transfer *.html or *.pdf files by USB, audio transfer app is buggy, and in what it does do, it's a pain to use.I need a device to use as a PDA (calendar & tasks lists to sync with desktop software such as Outlook or similar), to read *.rtf & *.pdf documents, use *.html & JavaScript files, play audio files, take text memo notes, a simple IDE on which I can do some simple programming (preferably in Java, but another language would be ok), and use a flashcard app, such as Anki. All file transfers must be by USB.Oh, and I don't need it to have a phone at all, so some other device such as that Android iPad clone would be OK if it operates well, reliably, and will likely last at least a couple of years.I'm severely limited financially, so I need to choose the cheapest one which fulfillls these needs. I'd prefer a keyboard, but if any much cheaper with touchscreen only can fulfill these requirements, it will do. Buying a used device such as from ebay would keep the price down, but I need advice on selecting one, considering that I chose something as terrible as a Blackberry.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Android app needs to retrieve information about a contact (namely, phone number and name.) I wrote some code using getContentResolver().query() In the results, I am seeing that the name is being returned, and other information like when I last contacted that person, but not the phone number. What am I doing wrong?
The code:
Log.w("MyApp", "requesting " + phonesUri.toString());
Cursor contactCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(person, null, null, null, null);
contactCursor.moveToFirst(); for (int i = 0; i < contactCursor.getColumnCount(); i ++) {
Log.w("MyApp", contactCursor.getColumnName(i) + ": " + contactCursor.getString(i));}
