the Android phones in Slovakia have a custom locale - en_SK and cs_SK. Language is either Czech or English, location is Slovakia. Now I would like to have strings that target these locales. The default approach is to create a folder "values-CountryCode", for Czech Republic it's values-cs.
But I get a build error if I add a folder name values-en_SK or values-cs_SK: "invalid resource directory name"
For some unknown reason when I now try to create a new Android project in Eclipse (Ganymede running on Windows) it fails to link to the android.jar in the SDK (1.0_r1). This has never happened before, and all my existing projects continue to resolve Android components just fine.
Error: "Cannot create linked resource '/.org.eclipse.jdt.core.external.folders/.link0'. The parent resource is not accessible."
I want to download my apk file into "/data/local/" directory. I am able do this in external storage but unable on "/data/local" also i was trying to create folder on same location but could not do that. Through "adb push" it is possible but i need to do this java program.

These frameworks want to make it easy to make apps using web technologies and PHP i would argue is one of the biggest web technologies, but I'm not seeing much (if any) support. I am new, so I could be wrong on multiple levels. So please enlighten me and let me know if what I am trying to achieve is possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am extremely new in Android development and ADT.. I was working on trying to create my first `HelloWorld` in ADT but something messed up so I deleted all the files and folders and started a new project from scratch..but I am not able to debug this new project. I tried to create another project but everytime I am getting this error:
[2014-04-25 14:12:39 - App1] invalid resource directory name: /Users/Android_Mac/appcompat_v7/res/Icon
[2014-04-25 14:12:39 - appcompat_v7] invalid resource directory name: /Users/Android_Mac/appcompat_v7/res/Icon
There was an 'Icon' file in appcompat_v7..which I have deleted but the problem is still persisting
Also whats the use of `appcompat_v7`? i did not create it..
I created a popup-menu in my actionbar using a custom action provider. I use API 18.
I have an icon in the right edge of the action bar, if I click this icon my popup menu appears, so far no problem. If I click the icon, following message appears in the Log:

I think I am finding what I think is a significant limitation in the way the resource directory qualifiers (-hdpi, -v4, -en, etc) work. I have three directories: drawable-hdpi-v4, drawable-ldpi-v4, and drawable (for normal screens and phones running 1.5). I have image X that I want to have a high resolution version of in the hdpi directory and a default one in the plain "drawable" directory. I also have image Y that I would like Android to upscale, or downscale depending on the screen size and only want to manage one image file located in the "drawable" directory. This is to save file size because I don't need crisp resolution for 240dpi phones and also so I don't have to create three versions of ALL images if I want Android to handle the scaling.
I am finding that using post-v4 emulators with 240dpi screens with Eclipse, they get confused with this "hybrid" directory structure and choose to treat all images the same way. i.e. if image Y is found in the "drawable" folder and not in "hdpi", it correctly displays it upscaled and then goes and sees that there is both an image X in "drawable" and "drawable-hdpi-v4" and chooses one of them at random and upscales whichever one it picks the same way it scaled Image Y. So, if it decides to use the high-res version it blows it up even bigger when it didn't have too as if it was found in the "drawable" directory. Do I have to have all of my resources in the "drawable" directory and let Android scale things or have three times the number of image files by having resources in all three directories to make sure all resources are found and treated consistently? I am hoping this is some weird emulator bug that does not reflect how the real OS would treat things.
Is it possible to have subfolders in the /res/drawable directory. I would like my resources to be organized in a tree view and not in a flat dir. If it is possible so how do I reference the resource from the code?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently upgraded the Android SDK to the latest version, and I'm trying to re-build the ApiDemos project. I've imported it properly.
The problem is
1. the .aidl files aren't being processed at all by Eclipse during the pre-processing stage.
2. R.java isn't re-generated at all by eclipse
Using Eclipse, Helios release.
Dianne mentioned we can use "@*android:type/name" to reference resource added to framework-res.apk at "what's the best way for OEM to organize it's own resources?"(http://groups.google.com/group/android- framework/browse_thread/thread/e9974bd5a42af10a/1f7055086f5489a7).
And I did see it is used in android source and looks like it is used to refer to internal resource not public, am I right?
I wonder whether it is possible to refer to internal resource without errors in Eclipse. I tried but adt reports error.
Can an android project in Eclipse be configured so that the built-in builders read from an alternative source directory? ie. "test/src" instead of "src"? and possibly even "test/res" instead of "res"? (It appears that setting dirs in the property files will only affect ant and not the built-in builders)

I have a paid application, that I recently published.
For one reason or another, I didn't make a backup copy of the key signature.
After fixing some bugs, I tried to sign the application again as an update, through Eclipse's export as a signed app wizard.
On the screen where the alias is usually selected, i get a message saying "Invalid Keystore Format."
My real issue is how to handle publishing the update as a new, separate application, with regard to the users who have already purchased the application.
Would I issue refunds for the original purchase for users that purchase the new, separate application?
I am new to Android and creating my first application.I want to create a file in the current directory. Basically I have a file bundled with aplication package as raw resource. I want to make a copy of this file in the current file. The reason to create copy in current directory is that I want my file reading code in native java, portable code.So my query is how can I create a file on current directory? The location current directory is important here as I do not want to make use of device specific hardcoded path or any Android API while reading the file. This is so I want my file reading code portable.

At some points while running my android application, I need to create a directory on the sd card, for a small number of users this fails and I can't figure out the reason for it... (I've found similar problems caused by the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission missing, it's there and it works for almost all users so I don't think this is reason) When mkdirs returns false I crash the program and log the following java.io.File properties, starting at the directory I want to create, then recursive printing properties of the parent directory and so on...
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1/Dir2 (exists: false, canWrite: false, isDirectory: false, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1 (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/ (exists: true, canWrite: false, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
The strange thing is that the parent directory is writable (canWrite=true), I can't print the execute file permission but from what I've read, write is what you need when creating directories... What I've looked at so far is the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, if the sd card is full and if the sdcard is mounted read only:...........................
