I want to develop a library for Android. In what form can I ship it? jar, apk or something else? How should I do it so that other developers can use my library in their application?

I purchased 2 Evo's today & see that 1 has a Sandisk pre-installed & the other has Samsung. I would just like a general consensus on which ones EvO owners had pre-installed. Also, I'm wondering why the brand alternations.

Not that I've figured out how to get 12 hours out of my Eris Moderate-Heavy use, but this should only make things better. I think the 3500mAh is a bit ridiculous.
Let this be the thread to discuss these add on batteries, and either their positive or negative effects on your life.
Assuming that the Nexus One or anything like it is not coming to VZ anytime soon, I'm happily ordering one of these and ready to roll on with my Eris http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17hhrv.htm
I got the Behold 2 in the mail about four days ago, and it was working out pretty well for me. This was mostly because I'd previously been using an archaic piece of crap and hadn't had any experience with Android, so I was pretty blown away by the customization and yada yada yada. Touchwiz didn't even bother me because I've never seen Android without that UI. Then the battery issues started, which a few other people have obviously had judging by the threads on this forum. I was losing roughly 1% of battery power every 5 minutes without me even touching it, which is absolutely ridiculous. I followed the basic procedure and turned everything off, etc., and am recharging it now. So, waiting to see if it gets any better. But it seems like a hassle to have to constantly keep wifi disabled or to take all the widgets off the home screen......

Then all was well for 2+ months and now my 2nd phone is starting to shut down randomly. To add insult to injury, after the latest OTA the phone is locking up, crashing the email app and freezing the messaging app. Sometimes I have to reboot just get email to start syncing again. Worse still, with Exchange PIN security enabled, the phone doesnt always accept the Enter/OK keypress after putting in the PIN so i'm stuck at the unlock screen. 100% stock never-rooted phone and no funky apps. I can't rely on this phone anymore, plus Exchange support is still mediocre. What do I do at this point? Exchange it for another unit? Wait for Froyo? Wait for WP7 phones? ATT has nothing that comes even close in terms of HW features. I came from a Samsung Blackjack 1, then 2, then Jack and all were great phones. This is such a letdown from Samsung.

I have 2 version of my app, paid/free, and they are not able to access the preferences stored by the library code.
Can someone tell me the right way to store values in SharedPreferences in library code and have the values available to projects that include the library?
According to this SDK guide, unit-testing a Library project can be achieved by creating a standard application project, reference the Library project and then instrument the application for unit testing. However, when I do this and launch the test application I get the message.No tests found with test runner 'JUnit 3".I'm using Eclipse and the Android ADT plugin, all latest versions.the projects compile just fine. The test project also installs fine to the emulator. But in the console I can see that it looks for <library>.apk, which of course doesn't exist since I'm compiling this as a library into the test project.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAs I understand, the three ways of distributing my application are via Jar, Android Library and Android Library Project.Jar - cannot contain resources or XML layouts (so this is out for me)Android Library - I don't really know how this works but the Google API uses it..Android Library Project - includes resources but allows the client free rein on the code as it is distributed as source.If I am to create a closed source application that requires drawables and XML files that I want to distribute to other Android programmers, what should I use? And can someone direct me to a tutorial on creating an Android Library?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid AMF client library Aftek has extensive experience in developing enterprise Flex applications. We have used BlazeDS extensively and we believe that it would nice to provide all the benefits provided by AMF for Android applications as well. We have developed an Android AMF client library which would enable Android application developers use the same extensively. The Android AMF client library supports remoting and secured remoting. This will allow all android applications to use the existing backend like .NET, Java, or PHP. The implementation is asynchronous in nature providing success and failure callbacks. This allows application to perform other tasks without blocking the application. We are currently performing some performance benchmarking and plan to release our library very soon. We would also be incorporating the messaging feature as well.
Android RTMP client library:Aftek has extensive experience in developing voip and audio/video and media applications. Media applications has a huge market and there would be quite a few people eager to develop the medial applications on Android. We believe that it would nice to provide all the benefits provided by RTMP for Android applications as well. We are developing an Android RTMP client library which would enable Android application developers use the same extensively. Our Android RTMP client library would support some add-ons that would help developers to deliver robust media solutions.
Does someone know of a library that is fairly "drop in" and allows you to easily put together multiple authentication options in an Android app to services like Facebook, OpenID, Twitter, etc. much like RPX does?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy Android application can be divided into a client UI layer and a API layer. i would like to deploy them as separate "applications" so that the API layer can be reused.
In Eclipse, i write them as 2 separate Android projects. In the client UI project, i declare the API project in its build path (Project -> Properies -> Java Build Path -> Projects).
When deploying the client UI project through Eclipse (on my actual G1 phone), it automatically deploys the API project (packaged into APK) as well.
However, when launching the client UI application, i hit this error:
CODE:.............
Looking around, it seems like i should declare uses-library under application in the manifest file for the UI client.
Question is, what should i put under android:name for uses-library? Dev guide says "the name of the library" but what is the name of the library? (i mean, in my API "application", i haven't declared any library name anywhere.)
I have an specific requirement to write a new library in android source and an simple client application on top of that. which uses some of functions exposed by that library Can any one provide me step by step process for the same.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to create a self contained library that I can easily drop into an android project and run.I can do this by creating a shared object via the NDK and JNI but the limitation there seems to be lack of audio support which is important for this library.Is there a way to create a library in the java/android world? Ideally the developer could just drop it into the project and could access methods via headers maybe?Any help/samples would be fantastic and appreciated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNew to Android; very grateful for the help! I tried searching the web and other threads but the words "free", "ebook" and "library" return thousands of results that don't help. Supposedly at my library you can get books in ebook form. The website says they are compatible with my PC, the Nook and the Sony devices. Is there a way to read these on the Android and if so, how is that accomplished? Also, I read that you can read Google books on Android phones, but when I got to Opera on my phone and go to books.google.com/m and click on a book nothing happens.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are writing an Android application (API Level 8 v2.2) that communicates with a java server through the internet. We are doing this by serialising objects to xml string using XStream 1.4.2. Accessing the classes in XStream's jar class library works through eclipse and the AVD emulator but causes a runtime exception when we try to run it on an actual android phone. We don't know what exception is being thrown but we have a hunch that it has to do with the class loader.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy company is in the process of evaluating if we can add support for Android to our product. I am currently working on porting our existing J2ME library to the Android framework and I have a question regarding our UI component. Right now, we have a custom menu that we allow our developers to bring up on the device. On J2ME, we simply have a single call that the developer makes to enter into the menu and then we handle the rest. On Android, it seems the best way to handle this is an Activity. But I have a few questions regarding this approach including is the really the best way to do something like this? Second, if it is, if there are multiple applications on the device that are using our library, are there going to be conflicts with them all having the same Activity embedded in them? Is it possible to create an Actvity at runtime and use it directly? Would there be any side effects of going about it this way?

I am working on an Android project I want to use as a base library for other Android apps. The base has its own set of classes and resources. I can create a jar containing all the base components and those are referenced properly by another project, but during runtime the base classes used in the new app cannot find the drawables used in the base project. Since there is a 'res' directory in each Android project, the new app cannot locate resources outside of itself even though it is the base classes trying to reference them. Are there ways to utilize or chain Android projects together? I want to include an external Android jar as a library in another project.
