I'm still experimenting with the LVL and I noticed that, with the recommended strategy (ServerManagedPolicy), in case of no connectivity, the callback's dontAllow() method is called.
This seems a bit odd to me and I wanted to make sure this is the expected behavior, and not a bug on my side.

I'm trying to integrate the LVL to my app, and I followed the 'Licensing Your Applications' document [1].
For some reason I'm receiving the ERROR_NOT_MARKET_MANAGED error, although my app (package: org.jraf.android.logcatlivewallpaper) is indeed available in the Market.
I suppose I made a mistake is on my side but all I did is follow the document (I used the ServerManagedPolicy and the AESObfuscator), so I don't see what I could have done wrong.
I can't import the License Verification Library to the workspace. In the Eclipse wizard I click "File > import" but no Android option available, if I choose normal Java project then it doesn't work because it has no Android api reference. How to do?

I've setup the Android LVL with my application to check for licensing. This seems to work great with the Test Accounts. The problem is, if I turn the phones internet connection off and try to run the app, the licensing check will fail and tell me it's NOT licensed! One thing is, why does it tell me the application is NOT licensed and more importantly, how can I have the application 'remember' if it is licensed or not
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere's a large chunk of apps on the market that are free, with ads. Users can pay for an "unlocker" app to remove ads in the "free" app, presumably by doing a check on whether or not the unlocker app package is installed.
If LVL is verified intermittently on a paid app, is it useless for these unlocker apps? Presumably a user would never run the unlocker app, so how would LVL even check the authenticity?
I'm using the Android Development Toolkit (ADT) in Eclipse Galileo. I've created a project in which to develop some util classes, which I intend to use in several upcoming Android projects. However, when I come to use these util classes (deployed as a jar and included in the Android project as a user library), I get a java.lang.VerifyError during the startup of the emulator. Can I force the verification of these library files, or do I need to include them as part of the Android project, and not as an external jar?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using the ServerManagedPolicy implementation from the LVL code sample (MainActivity.class) but I haven't understood how it manage cache.
The first time application start it needs internet to validate the license, if it is validated, how much time should pass before a second check is needed?
I am reading the documentation for the ServerManagedPolicy of the Android Market licensing service, and it refers to several "Server Response Extras" that are sent as part of the license response (e.g. the License validity timestamp, Grace period timestamp, etc). Are these values settable be my on the server side, or are they set automatically by the Google Market?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Android library project that makes calls to PreferencesManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences.
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?

Someone bought the priced app from market with the "rooted" phone and copy the apk file, then post on the websites for others to download.
Should Android team give a better way to protect the priced apps?
For example, encrypt the apk with the unique device hardware id for each download request. And verify the key before execution. So the apk can only be used on this phone.
There should be much better and complicated ways. but this is the basic idea.

I have a query:
Is LGPL'd code compatible with Android applications? Or are there any gotchas!
I have an Android app and some company is interested in using part of it and rebranding it for its customers. One of the options would involve licensing the code to them for use in this specific case. Would you recommend doing that as a good option? What is the cost of licensing code in comparison to the cost of the original development. Should the license be for any use of the code, for using the codebase/year?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android app that's licensed under Apache Software License 2.0. As recommended in best practice, I would like to display the license to the end user for acceptance before proceeding. However, the ASL text is large and I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to show the entire license.
I would like to know if there are any recommendations for apps under ASL on what license text to use (perhaps an abbreviated version of ASL)? Pointers to actual license text would be quite helpful. At a minimum, I was thinking to show the "Disclaimer of Warranty" section and for the whole license include the link to ASL site.
I'm trying to implement The Android LicenseChecker in my app, and I've followed the instructions almost verbatim from the developer site. Everything seems hooked up correctly, but every single time I get the "Check timed out." message. I increased the timeout value to 30 seconds, I'm logged into my device (which has the market app installed) with my publisher account login gmail address.
I set the test response to Licensed. I saved (but didn't publish) a sample app to test with. When that didn't work, I tried using an app that is already published and just rebuilding the apk locally to include the LVL implementation. I definitely have 3g connectivity. I can browse the web on the device and other connected apps are working correctly.
1. When the "copy protection" checkbox was first introduced on Android Market, I heard about a lot of issues with people not being able to download etc. Have those issues been resolved now? If I turn on copy- protection on an app with over 10K active users, do I risk a major rebellion?
2. I'd like to sell my app on other stores like slideme, andappstore and handango. Since some of these just redirect the user to your own site to download the app, there needs to be a license key that authenticates the user and unlocks his app. I saw that andappstore has a framework for that (not sure if that will only work with them or is a generic solution). I'm looking for a free, generic licensing solution. Is there one that you know of or use? My concern is to not throw in a wrench in the process of user download and use of the app, where I start getting a ton of emails from people whose keys arent working or asking for new keys etc, where license support turns into a full-time activity.
I have received the following error when trying to install packages through the SDK and AVD manager tool: XML verification failed for http://dl-ssl.google.com /android/repository/ repository.xml.

I updated my EVO 4G last night to Android 2.2. I started using the bluetooth voice dial feature this morning and I must say the new feature is still incomplete. There is no verification prompt after telling the phone who you want to call. You could say "Call Robin Cell" and it will dial Rob Cell without prompting you for verification. This means you have to scramble to grab the damn phone and hang up before it makes a connection with the wrong person. The lack of a hands free verification feature totally negates Android 2.2 bluetooth voice dial.
Microsoft Voice Command still has my respect in this regard no doubt. All it needs to do is repeat the name it is about to dial by saying (Prompt: "Call Robin at Cell" Answer: "Yes" or "No"). Why would they not do their homework on something like this and at least listen to how Microsoft Voice Command works? If they think there bluetooth voice dialing is flawless thats fine, but they still need to include the option for verification.
