Android :: Market Listing My App As Exactly Twice Size Of APK I Uploaded / Why Is So?
Feb 26, 2009
For Wuzzle, the signed trial APK is 878KB and the signed full game APK is 934KB. I do have copy protection turned on for both and it did say it would increase the space needed. I figured that meant it would add an extra 10KB or something reasonable. They are listed on the market as being 1.71MB and 1.82MB respectively. I didn't think it would literally double the app size!
My other game, Light Racer has a signed APK of 288KB and is posted with no copy protection. It is listed on the market as 289KB, which is correct.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Before today, when entering a search term into the Market app, the results at the top of the search would all be exact matches of that search term against the app name. For example, type "translate" and the user will see all the apps called "translate" before the "Google Translate" result (which is by far the most downloaded translate app). Now, this no longer happens. If you type "translate" the first result is "Google Translate" (and no preference is given to exact matches).
Note: posted on this forum partly because hardly anyone reads Android Discuss, and partly because developers need to know how their apps are being prioritized in app search results).

Does anyone know how to change one's app listing on http://market.android.com?
We've updated our Android Market listing via http://market.android.com/publish several times over the last 13 months, putting new screenshots up on multiple occasions and switching categories a long time ago.
Yet the listing at http://market.android.com/free.html#[AppName] is still the same as it was over a year ago when it launched; very old screenshots and the outdated category...

Thought I'd inquire here where perhaps some other dev is having similar problems currently. I've done this before (months ago) and as far as I can tell, I'm doing it the same way. My 480x854 24-bit PNG screenshots are being scaled/cropped by Market. Same with 480x854 jpgs. It looks like they're being cropped to 480x800 but of course, Market won't let me upload an image with those dimensions. Windows explorer confirms that my PNG file is of the proscribed size and bit depth.
The app is Metronome++ if you want to see what the problem looks like on Market. Do I really need to work around this by providing screenshots with margins? As 480x854 is a standard screen size, I am assuming the intent is for the screenshot to go edge to edge in both horizontal and vertical directions. Perhaps mistakenly.

I have 3 video files each of 70 MB in my raw folder besides other audio files of few KBs. I am getting an installation error of insufficient space on the DROID while testing my app. I tried uninstalling apps and am now left with apps that are essential to the device.
What needs to be done to resolve this issue? I also wonder what will be the app size that i am allowed to upload to the android market?

Does App size increase after upload to the And. market?
I have uploaded an App to the market, name is CLIMATE DATA FINDER. But, its size looks increased over 12MB on such as androidpit and anroilib sites.
Actually, my App size is 6mb on my PC.
Tell me reason about it?
I can not see size of my App from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia because my area is not access able to Android Market.

I want to reduce the file size of my application in the market. The strange thing is that my application "LeonardFrog.apk" just uses 4mb but the Google-Market shows me that it uses 8mb. You can search for it (Leonard Frog Beta) in the market. How can this be???
In my application, there are many images and long sounds. My folder "res" just uses 3,7mb and there is nothing else in my game beside the quellcode. So WHY is the size of my game in the market 8mb?

I've just released an update to my app and the apk file is 3.5mb on my system. It is reported as 3.5mb in the developer console. But in the market it is showing up as 7.02mb. I'm now getting comments that that app is too big and I feel people may not purchase it if they think it will take up 7mb of space.

I'm trying to upload my first application, but when I select the apk file, I get the following message:
The icon for your application is not valid. Please use a 48x48 PNG.
The file was created in Fireworks, and is a 48x48 24 bit image named appicon.png.
Anyone know of any reason why I would still get this message?

Is there an Android App directory that's commonly used when discussing, talking about, listing, evaluating Apps in this thread? Or, is there an official Android Market listing of Apps? Or another question, is the "Android Market" available the web? I've been to Android Market, but it doesn't seem to list all apps or have a search at this time; only the top paid and top free. When mentioning an App on this forum, it's be nice to hyperlink the standard market listing if there is such a standard or recommended site from this forum for consistency. For now, I'm just mentioning the name of the App - in bold font - as spelled so others can search it in the Android Market.

This is probably a dumb question but I can't find it anywhere Which icon is used in your marketplace listing? Is it always the application android:icon="@drawable/icon" setting from your manifest file or can you have a launch icon different from your marketplace listing?

Can anyone tell me if UK developers are still being forced to list in a currency that the only paying customers of Market aren't used to dealing with (i.e. British pounds), or can we list in the currency our potential customers use?

When I first started publishing Android apps as an indie developer, I posted my phone number on the app's submission page, thinking it would not be listed publicly. When I found out that it was, I removed the number from the app listing. I don't have the resources to handle phone support, and much prefer to handle support via email. Besides, there is no requirement that we provide phone support, as long as we provide support in some way, correct? Anyway, these days I'm getting fewer phone calls, but I'm still getting calls. We are required to list a phone number in our developer profile, but it is stated that this is used for Google to contact us directly in case there are issues. So where are users still getting my phone number, and how can I make sure it's not listed?

I can't seem to find an app that allows video uploading to Facebook so I went to the full site on my phone and selected video upload and that worked. Using WiFi the whole process took about 60 seconds. I didn't realize this was possible. If this is common knowledge then I apologize for starting a new thread.

I am interested in activating another application's activity. I know from reading the Android SDK that it's probably better to do this with an implicit intent. However, this activity doesn't reside in an application I own, so I don't know the action and category and data flags on the intent-filter.
How can I examine an Android applications metadata like the activity classes and the intent-filters for those activities (if declared in the manifest)?

I am currently using the official Twitter app and it's not too bad on the whole. However, I was wondering if there is a way of being able to comment on photos which have been uploaded via TweetPhoto etc, from the official Twitter app? I know you can add TweetPhoto to your allowed applications via Twitter on a computer, but there doesn't seem to be a way to comment on the photo from my mobile. I could reply to the tweet, but that doesn't leave a comment underneath the picture of TweetPhoto. Hope all that makes sense.

I need to generate a changelog of sorts between two Tags within a project controlled using git. Specifically the android source code. This list should include any files/directories/etc which have been edited, moved, renamed, deleted, created. and if you have a way to do this over the entire android source at once... even better.

Is there an app to backup and export a listing of all the apps, bookmarks, and widgets currently on your phone? I see many apps that will search though all the current installed apps, for sorting, or organizing, but then it would be good to export this list to e-mail or Google Docs, etc.

The application I have uploaded into my cellular device is shown without the pictures I have insert to it. While the APK runs without problems on emulator when installed on Motorola milestone picture and icon doesn't shown as they were on emulator.
Steps I have done in order to install:
- I have inserted the xxx.apk file into the device via usb
- I downloaded an apps installer via the Market
- I opened the app using the installer and instead of picture an white background appeared
when I opened the xxx.apk file using file system I found the pictures.
Note: even an application icon weren't appearing. Apparently the res library having problem to be bined to application.
- I might need to add something to my appliction manifest?
- I might need to change something on my device ? (I already made a change and enabled user's not Market application).
I also tried an example as shown in hello android book the same example worked perfectly on the emulator where on my android device (Motorola milestone) the picture and icon weren't shown. Please tell me what I might be doing wrong guys I need to apply my project back at uni (I was the only one in uni who did it on android and in my country most of pep don't even know what android is so getting help outside of forum's like this is not an option).

In my android application,I want to save some photos uploaded from a server on my database and then reuse them later. I think I should save them in a binary format and save their links into the database. Is it the better solution? Can you give some code or an example? now I only uploaded the image and display it directly using an ImageView but I want to make it available in my application when the user is offline.

I'm having a problem with getting Facebook photos to upload to my wall. Instead they're just showing up in the Mobile Uploads section, without ever appearing in the news feed. I've searched everywhere online and found a few people with the same problem, but no solutions.
What's odd is I didn't have this problem when I tried the same thing yesterday. Yesterday was the first time I'd directly uploaded a photo from my phone to Facebook, though I've had my Droid for months. (Yeah, I'm a little slow with some of this stuff). I used the method of going to the Gallery, choosing my photo and then selecting Menu > Share > Facebook. I added a caption, and the photo & caption showed up on myFacebook wall, just the way I wanted.
Today I tried the same method for a new photo, and it didn't show up on my wall at all, just went straight to Mobile Uploads. As far as I can figure, I did everything exactly the same as I did it yesterday, but maybe I'm missing something. Can anyone think of a step I might have missed, or does anyone know a way to fix this?
