I'm interested in the following features:
Writing an app for Android Market that is written completely in C++ (a port of existing product actually).
Use fast screen-buffer pixel pushing (or rather using OpenGL ES for this).
Grab user input and direct it to C++ code.
Is it legal to write such an app for Market? Is Market policy somehow strict to such things?

Is it possible (without violating any licenses) to write a native C/C++ application on top of the Android OS and make it run as a daemon process?
There are already several daemon process' running which one can see with the 'ps' command, the legal part concerns me the most. And also the lack of documentation on how to exactly do this.
For the writing part, I guess one could use basic Linux programming concepts, since Android supports at least to some level the standard Posix API. To make it run as the phone boots, some modifications is of course required in init as well.
I have no plans to have this app in the Android Market, so installing it manually to the phone is not a problem. As long as it does not require re-compiling the whole OS or kernel.
Are there any legal sites where I download market content? reason I ask his, I can't find some things on the market... I assume its a compatability issue but if I do it illegally they work on my wildfire. so if I want to do it legally how can I? or am I going to have to stick with illegals if I want the apps I do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making an android application that shows a list with users, I would like to add the image,name,status,and a button in every row of the list, just like in the androids 1.6 native caller-> favorites tab.Until know I have managed to add the image and name using an ListActivity but when I try to add the button the list becomes unselected.So I have 2 questions, first is the list mentioned above listviews or listactivities? also is this possible using listActivity? and second, what is the difference of the above mentioned classes?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello, I would like to create a zip file from files located on the sd card, I have managed to do that using java but I think that the result is too slow, so I thought of going native using the android NDK.
My questions are:
Does anyone know any C/C++ library to zip unzip files that will work on android?
How to know if the library will work on android?
will this make any difference on performance?
I'm just wondering if it would be possible (and legal) to port an Android app to desktop? I'm creating an android game that would work well on PC too (even with the cellphone like layout) and was thinking that maybe I could 'embed' an android emulator with an installer or would that process be a bit hard for a novice Java coder?

http://source.android.com/
For example, the alarm clock I'm going to modify will "look exactly the same" as the built-in one, but there'll be a lot more functions. Is it legal to extend the functionality of the Alarm Clock and publish it as paid application?
I have seen some threads and people worried about Rooting and if it breaks contract. Well according to the government it is now legal. Source.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe following code leads to "java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: Thread already started." the second time it is run through on the program This happens the second time updateUI.start() is called. I've stepped through it multiple times and the thread is called and completely runs to completion before hitting updateUI.start(). Calling updateUI.run() avoids the error but causes the thread to run in the UI thread (the calling thread, as mentioned in other posts on SO), which is not what I want. Can a Thread be started only once? If so than what do I do if I want to run the thread again? This particular thread is doing some calculation in the background, if I don't do it in the thread than it's done in the UI thread and the user has an unreasonably long wait.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've already written a game engine in java using eclipse and opengl es, I had one project (an android project) which contained both of my packages com.logic.engine com.logic.testapp I wanted a way to keep my engine and test app seperate, I've made an earlier post about how this is done, and I figured out how to reference one project in the build path of another (or just creating a jar file). My problem is that, lets say I now have my engine all wrapped up in an android project com.logic.engine, and now someone would like to use this engine to create a game, so they create an android project com.someclient.game, well now because we have one android project referencing another, it crashes everytime. Now obviously i need the android sdk in my engine package in order to reference things, but its also required on the client app, since the activity is what is actually being run by android. I guess my question is, how can i create a project for my game engine without it being an android project, but still referencing the android sdk, and without causing it to crash the client app using it?

It is for Google internal use or not? There's also the KML which gives similar informations. Please note that it is NOT for real time driving directions but a path to be drawn from a point to another and your position NOT refreshed in real time and of course it is for an app downloadable free of charge.
