If I run my android application with htc magic with locale English. I find my application running properly and if I find to run it on Motorola droid with locale Korean, I find even my application(apk) cannot be installed on the device. Do android support different language? Is it because of different language OS version?

I use my phone in English, but often send and receive text messages in Spanish (and other 2 languages...) What do I have to install/do/change to make the phone able to at least read and correctly render text messages received in Spanish?? I just get a bunch of "?" signs when there are special characters.

as it is now, i go into options and select the language which is not so bad to do once a week but its a pain when your switching 10 times a day. and why do reviewers say the android keyboard is no good and always praise the iphone one? is the stock keyboard really that bad? whats a good alternative?

I have a number of apps, and so far I have supported all versions from level 3, android 1.5.
For my latest app, I'm considering supporting only from 1.6, or possibly 2.1, upwards.
What's the trend thesedays? Is it becoming usual, or acceptable, to adopt this strategy?
I developed application in android 1.5 and i make it for support screens in large and medium and small through coding if i release android 1.5 on market it will appear in all android version phone market (android 1.5 +) .am i get application in droid,small device market and it is work fine or not.

Some of my application's users are on android 1.5, some on 1.6, and some 2.0. So how do I release my app for all customers? If I release a 1.5 version, then the 1.5 phone can use it - but not the newer phones with smaller screens (aka Tatoo), they require 1.6 or higher? correct?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm trying to make sure my apps are compatible with the 1.6 SDK emulator skins WVGA800 and WVGA854. The Android Developers Blog post regarding this seems strange to me. The post talks about upgrading your app using the 1.6 SDK, then says this:
"Note that not all devices will be upgraded to Android 1.6 at the same time. There will be significant number of users still with Android 1.5 devices. To use the same apk to target Android 1.5 devices and Android 1.6 devices, build your apps using Android 1.5 SDK and test your apps on both Android 1.5 and 1.6 system images to make sure they continue to work well on both types of devices."
Now resource directory qualifiers (e.g. "res/drawable-mdpi/" or "res/ layout-large") don't work with the 1.5 SDK. So right now as a dev I have the choice to either:
1) Update my apps with the 1.6 SDK so that they are compatible with the various 1.6 emulator skins and the various hardware configurations coming out. If I do this, the updates will not be available to those users that still have 1.5, which is a "significant number of users."
2) Continue using the 1.5 SDK, without the available tools in 1.6, but try to somehow get my app to render properly in the various 1.6 emulator skins.
In my android application, I would like to support multiple screens. So I have my layout xml files in res/layout (the layout are the same across different screen resolution). And I place my high-resolution asserts in res/drawable-hdpi

I am having an issue understanding how to get Bitmaps from resources in density specific directories to scale properly when drawing them to a Surface View.If I have a resource in folder "drawable" I expect it to be scaled up when run on hdpi screens and scaled down on ldpi screens and left as is on mdpi or 1.5 screens.Likewise I expect anything found in hdpi when run on an hdpi screen to remain unscaled. However, there is some combination of settings that I am not getting right to do this seemingly simple thing.I am not running compatibility mode so my manifest supports all screen sizes with anydensity=true.I do not understand the BitmapFactory.Options fields of inScaled, inTargetDensity, and inDensity that I am thinking have to be set appropriately and slightly different for each resource decoded depending on which directory they were found in and what screen they are currently run on.
All I have been able to find is that if either inTargetDensity and inDensity are 0, no scaling occurs, but if not, scaling occurs such that inDensity matches inTargetDensity. Is this correct?I have no idea what valid settings are for these fields from the documentation other than ints.What are the integer values for LDPI, MDPI, and HDPI? And how do I determine the density of a resource in order to set this before I decode it? Am I way off base in my approach for drawing bitmaps from various resource directories on various screen sizes?
If an android device wants to support multiple cameras, then how does the API support this? Right now the framework API is a simple static method to create an instance of camera Camera.open(). I see couple of options:
1. Using camera.setParameters() to set a name/value pair that instructs which camera to choose?
2. It would be nice and cleaner perhaps if this was done right on the open() method perhaps with additional enum.
Obviously option # 1 would not result in any addition to the API. Does this use sound right to you to support multiple cameras?
I've just switched to launcherpro from sense, and the one thing I miss is the news widget. On sense in had three full page widgets devoted to it, and I need a replacement! Requirements are:
Full page widget
Multiple homescreen support
Simple aesthetics
Customisable news feeds
I have a project compiled with and targeting 1.5. I now want to support different screen sizes instead of letting android handle the scaling.That's all I need to do, right? All my layouts are using dip, so it should scale, and I don't want to mess with different size bitmaps just yet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to develop UI of the application which looks similar on all screen sizes. I have gone through the Android developer article regarding this. I am using supports-screen tag but then also the screen is displayed not displayed properly in the larger screens. The screen is displayed properly in HVGA and not in WVGA.
I have developed the application using Android 1.6 and set the minimum SDK version as 4. The application is running properly on HVGA avd but not on WVGA avd. Can I know the reason for it? Is there any solution for this? I want that the user interface of the application should look uniform in all the handsets.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an app on Android Market right now with a minSdkVersion corresponding to Android 1.6. I'd like to make an update that is only visible to users of Android 2.2 and higher (there is a good reason for this, which I will explain below). So I have two questions:
- First, if I publish an update with a higher minSdkVersion than the one it replaces, will existing users still be able to see and download the old version if their device is not >= that minSdkVersion? - Secondly, if so, would it be possible to publish updates to that older version branch? Or would it become a fossil relic, but at least always there for downlevel users? Now for the background. My apps use a large amount of resource files-- about 15MB for the Lite version, and about 55 for the Full version. Prior to Android 2.2, it was not possible to install an app on the SD card, so my solution to this was to have the app contain the bare essentials, and simply download the other resources from my web servers at first-run. However, this means that I must maintain external infrastructure, and it's also a bad experience for users who must download the app, then start another download sequence (I already have had several complaints about this in my user comments). What I would like to do is to keep the app as it is for users with Android OS < 2.2. I'd like to publish an update that is only visible to users with Android OS >= 2.2 which packages everything into the app and allows it to be stored on the SD card. And I'd like to be able to perform maintenance on both versions as needed. Why can't I just do the update as described above to a single branch of the app? Because it would mean that users with Android OS < 2.2 would have to download a massive application to their internal memory, which could be a deal-breaker for devices with only 128MB or 256MB, which is shared with the OS. Since I already have paying customers, I don't think I can ethically create an update that would potentially consume most of a user's internal memory, when the version they purchased was only a couple MB.
it is not available in 1.5. i went to do this then -- public static String getMfg() { if (compareVersion(android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE, "1.6") >= 0) { return android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER; } return "unknown";}

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop an app for which I want multiple screen support. I have read the Android article on Best practices for Multiple Screen Support. As per the article we have to follow 3 important things:
1. Mention support for different screen sizes (large, medium and small) and any density in AndroidManifest.xml.
2. Place images of 3 dpi's (120, 160, 240) in 3 folders res/ldpi, res/ mdpi and res/hdpi.
3. In layout's the dimension should be mentioned in "dip" units. Then Android will take care of the scaling on its own.
I have implemented all these points in my project. The images are picked up correctly from the appropriate folders. But the arrangements of the controls in not same. e.g. I ran the app on three emulators 1. Resolution 240*320 dpi 120. 2. Resolution 240*320 dpi 160. 3. Resolution 240*320 dpi 240. (All the emulator have same resolution but different density). The problem is the position of the controls is not same on all the three emulator. As per my understanding if the android:layout_marginLeft and android:layout_marginTop are mentioned in "dip" then this problem should not occur. As the density of the emulator increases the controls get placed more towards the right. Is it necessary that I provide layouts for all combinations of dimensions and density i.e. in layout-small, layout-large, layout- medium, layout-long,layout-notlong?
I was wondering if the Evo supports multiple exchange accounts. I have a coworker that has a stock nexus one and he is able to add multiple exchange accounts effortlessly. I know that there are alternative solutions like touchdown and roadsync but why would a stock nexus one be able to and we are not. I would rather not have to install a 3rd party app to get the same experience. Is this a limitation of our version of android or did HTC take this out?
