Android :: Moderated Google App Market
Nov 7, 2010
What do you guys think about Google officially making an alternate/auxiliary app market that would be available along side the present official market, but which would only host inspected or "approved" apps that were proven to be useful innovative and well written? It could be called something like "Android Top Picks" (not very catchy, I know..) or "Android Feature Market", "Android Market Pro", etc I personally think this is a great idea. It wouldnt violate the principles of open source and at the same time it would raise the bar for developers to aspire to as it would create a prestigious reputation for their apps and certainly increase their sales. Along with this it would create a thinned down selection of quality apps that users could focus on for superior performance. Things that could be indirectly implemented through this medium are inspection to see that apps dont inefficiently use battery life and also that they are made with the idea of being compatible across various platforms and devices in mind. I think this would encourage the development of quality competitive apps which in the end would only benefit users, developers, and Android OSs end-user marketing compatibility on all sides. Please vote and let people know what you think about this idea.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 6. I just noticed that I can't find Google voice or Google maps in the market. I do have the apps installed, but can't see them int he market to get updates. I tried out LFY1.7 and Ultimate Droid 1.0.0, and see the same issue.

How about they make a form of payment, by phone. Meaning they bill your phone, instead of using a credit card. Because a lot of us do not have a credit card, thus not able to buy applications. I would really like it if they managed to do such thing, because I would be one of their number 1 customers.

I have been waiting for the expansion of google market and to my shock I see that there is almost no activity on the same for the past couple of months. We just keep hearing that expansion will happen, but absolutely no news on the same. Does someone out there have any updates, and can comeone from google reply for this query that we have been asking a million time, just once.

I was trying to buy the paid app Better Keyboard. It then sent me to a screen telling me to add a google account. I already linked a Google Account to the phone when I first set the phone up, so I just tried typing that into the 'sign in' option, and it looks like it's doing something for a good 3 minutes, saying "Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to set up your account. This may take up to five minutes." Now, I would be fine with it taking 5 minutes, except it brings up a page saying "Cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server: This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisions for data services (it is, because you're required to have a data plan to activate a smartphone on Verizon)." I have a 3G signal and I'm connected to a wi-fi network as well, although I've tried it not connected to wi-fi, and still no dice.

1st post, I picked up my EVO on Monday after having 3 different models of the iPhone since 2007. I am really loving android and how versatile it is. One thing I can't seem to find so far is a list of everything Google offers in the Market - apps, widgets, etc. Searching "Google, Inc." in the Market will bring a lot of non Google apps in between and it doesn't seem to load Google's apps first. Is their a website that has a definitive list of Google, Inc.'s offerings in the Market?

My company registered for Market when the G1 came out, setup a Google Checkout account as soon as possible, and this weekend listed a pay-for app.
Everything looked OK, but after a couple of days of 0 sales and a few users saying they were going to buy the app I thought I'd do a bit of digging around, and found that despite Market letting us list a pay-for app with a price and showing no errors the Google checkout account was suspended and thus couldn't take payment.
The reason; Not agreeing to a new Terms of Service.
So if you're listing a pay-for app, and you've seen no sales, you may want to click on the "Go To: Transactions" link on the developer console to see whether or not it's Google Checkout that's the problem.

I want to learn that how google android market provides security of application.That is, I realize that, when user downloads application, market downloads and install application atomically to phone. I am designing market and security is important issue so I wonder that how google achieve this?
How is application installed phone?
1) Is the apk downloaded sdcard and deleted after installation? In the case of this how can market guarantee that when apk downloaded to sdcard, program finishes unexpectedly and installation- deletion of apk cannot be done?
2) Or installation is done from server?
3) I think that there exists security not to copy apk. how do they do this?
Maybe they use phone id to install application, by this way even if anyone copy apk they cannot install it other phone?

I will be releasing two applications soon, one for my company and one for me. Publishing app on my own is straightforward, but I'm not sure which account to use for the company.What practice do you use in your company?I only see one solution, creating a special google account like android@company.com shared by the company Android devs.

I'm receiving a few emails per week with complain that my widget stopped working. In all cases when we do investigation the cause is some kind of task killer. What is worse that not everybody contacts me by email bug gives bad rating even if my application is not working incorrectly. I made remedy: wrote it to documentation (http://android.hubalek.net), wrote it to application main screen and wrote it do application description but people either don't know what exactly task killers do and how they work or just don't read doc.I think that Google should prohibit all task killers as they are malicious and are breaking other apps.

Is there any way of using the Android Market without having a google mail address?
I don't want a googlemail address. Fair enough having to create a google account.. but i don't like googlemail, I can't get the user name I want and I already have 6 other email addresses to manage.
Any way to get around this?

I do want to implement the Google Analytics for mobile on my android application using the sdk provided on this page http://code.google.com/intl/it-IT/mobile/analytics/docs/android/
Does someone knows, before i start to integrate it, if it tracks the keywords people used on the android market in order to arrive and install my application ?
If it does not, which would be the purpose of using this ?

I took off my sd card from my Samsung Galaxy Fit and when I replaced it, my Google-play app and other Google apps like Gmail and You-tube were gone!
I've not been able to download apps or watch videos on You-tube for the past one month.
I use FitDroid's custom ROM.

As you may know, when you buy an app from the market, an email is sent to you with a "Google order number" (which I believe is 15 digits long), which is specific to this transaction. I was wondering if this number is stored anywhere on your device after you purchase an app, and if it is, is there anything in the API to allow an android app to retrieve this number. If this number cannot be retrieved, is there a similar market transaction code that's retrievable?

I have purchased several apps through the Google market. Updating to Froyo required a system reset for me so the apps had to be reinstalled from the market. My google checkout and login ID are the same but Google charged me again for the apps and they showed up on my CC. Tried to resolve through google but gave up in frustration trying to find some way to dispute or rectify the situation. I disputed the charge through my CC but I have a feeling that is going to cause more trouble. Surely there is some way this is SUPPOSED to work and a planned way to rectify easily when it does not.
