I don't currently own an Android powered smart phone, but have been playing with the emulator on my PC for a while. My brother recently bought some generic touch screen MP3/video players (PMP devices) off eBay. They look like an iPod Touch, and have a very similar interface, and I was wondering if I'd be able to flash these devices with Android instead?

I have created a maps app and i want it to be installed on an android eclair device.. In the emulator if i choose the target as Google APIs its working fine but if i target it to donut or eclair its showing MISSING SHARED LIBRARY - com.google.maps. Initially it was not installing on to the device itself, showing INSTALL FAILED MISSING SHARED LIBRARY but i overcame with it by removing the "uses-library" line in the manifest file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a small and simple android app. I tried installing it on an actual android device. But because it won't install, I created an AVD resembling my phone. I tried copying and installing app on that AVD and it still says that error. "Application xxx could not be installed on this phone".
Before I tried installing my app on the phone or AVD I following steps:
1. Exported an unsigned copy of application onto my hard-drive.
2. User jarsigner to sign the app
3. Verified with jarsigner that my app is signed properly.
4. Used zipalign to optimize the app resources.
I do not have an icon assigned to myapp but mandatory properties like version etc. have been specified properly.
I had initially developed app using 2.1 version but because of compatability issues with my phone I reverted code to compile on 1.5 and it still doesn't get installed either on AVD or my phone.
My AVD is on 2.1 though and code is compiled with 1.5.
Is there a place where I can see the logs as to why app is not getting installed.
Followed the push instructions for putting 2.2 on eris and now the android keeps shining and nothing is working. Also computer can tell that something is plugged in but wont recognize it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to install Cyanogenmod and root my Nexus 7 2013, but I don't know what I should do to backup.
I previously tried to root and install CM on my Motorola Atrix HD on AT&T and successfully rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and installed Clockwork Mod. I made sure to click backup and proceeded to delete the version of Android on the device and install Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod did not successfully install and I wanted to restore my device back to it the backup I made. It said that it did it successfully, but the device gets stuck on the AT&T logo when booting up and doesn't go past that.
I don't want to have to go through the same trouble with my Nexus 7 not being able to restore back to a backup in case something goes wrong. I'm using the Nexus Root Toolkit on my PC and will probably use the Cyanogenmod installer for installing CM11 (if there are any drawbacks to using the installer). What should I use to backup my device and how would I restore it back to stock if something goes wrong? And if I have a bricked device, how can I flash it back to stock?

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan someone explain a couple of very simple concepts to me - I'm interested in mobile devices running android and how they are identified over networks. Some scenarios: Device is connected over WiFi - presumably the device has a standard IP address as with any host and can communicate with any other android host over TCP/IP (assuming it knows the participating device's IP? device is connected over bluetooth - how are devices identified in this case? device is connected over mobile operator's network - this is the one I'm interested in and confused by - is there anyway for two or more devices to discover each other and communicate via the mobile operator's network? How does a device communicate with a backend server in this scenario? In other words, how do apps and devices communicate when not connected to a WiFi network?

How do I map the device Y axis to the screen Y axis?I can't figure this out.I'm the developer of Tricorder, and I'm trying to make it so that the accelerometer and magnetometer indicators I draw always point in the right direction.On the G1 phone with the slider closed, all is well.But when I open the slider, I end up showing that gravity is pulling me to the left (if the phone is held with the display vertical).So, I know that the device, and hence sensor, Y axis is always in the direction of the earpiece; and the screen Y axis changes when I open the slider.And I know that I can use remapCoordinateSystem() to change the device axes to match the screen axes.But where do I find out what the device's orientation is?In other words, how do I compute the correct values for the X and Y parameters to remapCoordinateSystem()?
Configuration.orientation seems quite useless.Suppose it is set to LANDSCAPE.What does this mean?Does it mean a device which is "naturally" portrait (i.e. the sensor Y axis points to the narrow end), and which has been turned into landscape mode?If so, which way was it turned?Or does it mean a device which is naturally landscape?In other words, LANDSCAPE could mean that the screen axis is off from the sensor axis by +90, 0, OR -90 degrees.Not much help.So how do I do this?Obviously I want my app to work on all devices, not just the G1 phone.
I have a standalone GPS enabled data recorder in my car that can function as either a USB host or device. (Its a class 0x00h USB device). I currently connect to it via a WM 6.5 app running on my Palm Treo 750. I would like to port my WM 6.5 app to an Android phone. (I don't have a specific Android phone in mind, I would like it to be as generic as possible).Replicating the GUI is not that difficult, but I am having trouble getting started on the USB communication. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me towards an example, or the appropriate tutorial.

I'm using the android plugin for eclipse, and when I try to run my program using a real device through the android device chooser, my phone is not listed as a device. I have updated eclipse and all of the android packages, but it still isn't showing up. My phone is running 1.6, which is also the target version listed in the eclipse project.Also, the reason I decided to try testing on a real device is because the emulator doesn't seem to be working right anymore when I run my project. The emulator launches, but the program never does. Any ideas?(using windows 7/t-mobile mytouch 3g)

View 10 Replies View RelatedI uploaded an apk file to a web server and attempted to access the link from the browser on the phone. When I attempt to download from that link I receive an error message that reads "An SD card is required to download." I do not have an SD card installed, but the internal memory is not full, so I would expect the app to install to internal memory.
The obvious solution is to install an SD Card. Putting an SD card in the device does allow the app to install. So, the question is why is this necessary?
Nowhere in my app do I specify that this needs to be installed on an SD Card. I've tried leaving the installLocation blank and setting it to "auto" and "internalOnly". I've scoured the forums and not found a reason for this.
I'm having problem with installing the android in with Eclipse 3.5 sdk.
Here are some specifications, I have the android 1.5 sdk zip file, and And the Eclipse 3.5 sdk zip file.
I have tried installing android as a plug-in but was unable, please tell me the way so that i can install android in Eclipse with above specifications only. please note that i have the 'ANDROID ZIP FILE'.
The company I work for is wary of Android app development because the default cryptography library, Bouncy Castle, is not FIPS-140 certified. Nothing I can do to change their minds or policies.
I'm wondering what options I have for installing (or at least bundling) SunJCE with my app.
For one, I can't find where I would download the latest version of this jar. I tried grabbing the jce jar from my desktop and setting it as an internal jar in my Android project and received this amusing, if ominous, message:
Attempt to include a core class (java.* or javax.*) in something other than a core library. It is likely that
you have attempted to include in an application the core library (or a part thereof) from a desktop virtual machine. This will most assuredly not work. At a minimum, it jeopardizes the compatibility of your app with future versions of the platform. It is also often of questionable legality.
If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate as part of creating a full virtual
machine distribution, as opposed to compiling an application -- then use the "--core-library" option to suppress this error message.
If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact building an application, then be forewarned that your application will still fail to build or run, at some point. Please be prepared for angry customers who find, for example, that your application ceases to function once they upgrade their operating system. You will be to blame for this problem.
If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a core package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to repackage that code. That is, move the classes in question into your own package namespace. This means that they will never be in conflict with core system classes. If you find that you cannot do this, then that is an indication that the path you are on will ultimately lead to pain, suffering, grief, and lamentation.
