It looks like Android won't natively support in-app purchases for a while, and when it does there might be a huge user base with devices that don't support them.What's the best way to implement iPhone-like (additional content or services) in-app purchases in Android using the Android Market if possible?

I read on the web that Paypal can be used as a payment method for buying apps in the marketplace... They said the service would be released in Q2 but it's July now and I can't seem to find a way to use paypal as a payment method. Am I missing something or has it not been released yet? Or what?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWith the pending OTA OS update around the corner how do I make sure that I don't loose my app purchases? I am new to this Droid before I had a Blackberry and they had the DM as well as programs that let me backup my device to my PC.Additionally you could just go back to the developer or Mobihand and re-download the purchase.But I don't see anywhere like a web site where I can choose to re-download if I wipe my device.
I assume that when I re-flash the OS its going to wipe the Droid.Can anyone advise so that I don't loose everything as to how its don't here in the land of Android?
Is this possible? In other words if I purchase apps on my phone and down the road replace it, is there anyway to recover the apps I paid for? Are they linked to my sprint/gmail account?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on creating an Action Bar like the one from the new Android UI Patterns and I am running into a bit of trouble. I have a ViewSwitcher with two layouts in it. When the user taps the search button I animate between the two layouts. The problem is that the layouts are different sizes and I can't figure out how to make them take up the same amount of space. Here's what I mean. p.s. forgive the bad art, they are just place holders ;)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do something similar to that of the android lock screen pattern. I have a class that extends a view that I create multiple instances of. These appear on the screen all at once.
I need to be able to click on them individually and have each one turn green individually, however only one on touch listener is listening at once and it belongs to the last dot which appeared, so if I click anywhere on the screen the last appeared dot turns green no matter where I click.
Here is the code for my dot class:

where do I put this in my code, do I have to create a new class for it, or can I have it in an inner class, or does it not need a class at all?! I have a set up similar to Lunar Lander which comprises of two files, one of which is a thread that handles pretty much all the physics and drawing of the game. The other file begins the thread and saveInstanceState method. Furthermore, what type is mLibrary?! I cannot find out anywhere! I imagine I will put the OnGesturePerformed method in my thread as this is where I handle all keyUp and Down events.
I am required to work on an application which is be deployed on devices running Android 1.5. The application is supposed to maintain a connection with a server and regularly poll it for new data. The server will notify the client of new data following which the client will connect to the server and download the data.I know that ideally a push based approach will be more conducive here given that we are to run this on a mobile platform. Also, from Android2.2 there is going to be support for C2DM(Cloud to Cloud device Messaging) but as already mentioned this application is for devices running Android1.5.Implementation: I was thinking of using AlarmManager which would Broadcast Intents periodically(poll interval), The Broadcast receiver will then try to connect to the remote server and make data changed check. If the server has an update, the thread will connect to the remote server and download the data from the server.
Problem and Issues: 1. Is this the right way to approach the problem? 2. Is AlarmManager reliable? Would it remember Alarms after a device boot? (I think it does) 3. How do I ensure that battery usage is kept at minimum.(I have heard something about using "keep-alive" to sustain the session for longer time..what is this legend?) 4. What are other things that I need to consider? I am sure I must be missing lots of things here.
Does anyone have any good references for designing and implementing an idea I have for an android application. My idea is for an application that stores information and reviews about a specific location and presents this information to user.I have gone through all the tutorials and have been reading up on anything and everything about android. Now I am ready to challenge myself with my first app.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some design questions that I want to discuss with people interested in helping me. I am planning to develop a simple VoIP program that allows two Android phones in the same network to use VoIP. My goal is simply to capture sound, send the data with UDP, receive UDP data and play sound.My current design is to have 2 threads: one captures the microphone and sends the data; the other one receives bytes and plays them.I was starting to implement that using MediaPlayer and MediaRecorder. The issue that came up is how do I record and play sound? By that, I would like to know if I need to use a file, although that seems slow, or if there is anyway to have the recording automatically sent to my UDP socket please?Basically, I wonder if I have to record to a file, then to be able to play it, or if I could just pass a socket (for recording and playing).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an application where real-time knowledge of the GPS state is critical to convey to the user. I request GPS updates at 1000 ms intervals -- when I haven't received another update 1500 ms past the most recent update, I want to display a yellow icon, and 5000 ms after the most recent update I want to display a red icon. Currently, I'm doing it like this: private CountDownTimer gpstimeout; public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { if (gpstimeout != null) gpstimeout.cancel(); gpstimeout = new CountDownTimer(5000, 1500) { public void onTick(long m) { setYellow(); } public void onFinish() { setRed(); } }; gpstimeout.start(); }

I am creating a small calendar control that will be part of an application that runs on a larger-than-phone-sized screen. The calendar will simply display the current month and allow users to touch-select a day with an iPhone keyboard style popup bubble indicating which day is chosen.
The problem is that in order to do it with buttons would require 42 tiny buttons, which would probably be a resource hogging solution. Although a keyboard would give me the iPhone-keyboard-bubble-like behavior, i dont think that we can place a keyboard in a static location within a Layout, using it like a View.
So I am wondering what is the best way to go about implementing this. Is my "42 buttons is too many" assumption correct? Is my keyboard assumption correct? Do I have to use a SurfaceView (or something) and draw everything myself? Is there some other grid-like control that can make this simpler?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement a RESTful API in which I have to upload files that are relatively large for a mobile platform. The upload could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.I would like my application to be completely usable while the upload takes place. I've been doing some research and I've come across a few methods from which I can't decide which is the correct solution to my problem.Using an IntentService -- handles the worker thread so I don't have to. Using my own type of Service-- still need to implement an AsyncTask to handle the large process. Implement an AsyncTask in a singleton file that would allow me to do all the work there but without using the service class. My question is which method is the best -- if one isn't listed but is a more apt solution to my problem then I would appreciate suggestions.After researching all these methods I am still also confused on one thing. Lets say I upload a 2MB files, but I want to know when it is done. For example, lets say I have a service that uploads an image and returns and imageID -- I need to be able to know when that service returns an imageID -- process that and then move on to the next upload until the rest are finished.
