I have a custom EditText and a TextView in an Activity. The custom EditText traps for key presses and calculates the number of character entered and wants to publish the character count to the TextView. Do I use the java.util.Observable/Observer way ? Or is there a more native android method to achieve this?

This may sound like a weird question, but I have developed a mobile web application which works well with Android (browser). Would it be possible for me to somehow list this website/application on the marketplace? Or does it strictly have to be a downloadable app?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a data provider who pushes out a new access key from time to time via SMS. Currently, my users have to copy and paste from the SMS message into my application preferences. The SMS message with the new key has a prefix along the lines of "Thank you for being a customer of X. Here's your monthly access key: asdfasfasfsd" so it should be easy to detect and pick up the key automatically if my app can subscribe to SMS messages and scan each one for the prefix. Is it possible to subscribe to SMS messages?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have several Android apps and found that the process of uploading apps for each release via Android Developers website slow and ineffective. We like to automate the process. To be more clear, we have automation for compiling and building the apps, it's a matter of uploading them to Android Market and fill in the app details for publishing. This is where we are left with manual publishing.
I am interested to learn how people automate the processing?

View 3 Replies View RelatedApologies if there is a thread about this already (couldn't find it)... I used to be able to upload a mobile pic directly to Facebook and it would show on my wall/in my friends' feeds. Lately, my pics go directly to my "Mobile Pics" album, and do not show on my wall unless I publish the entire album again. I've checked my Facebook settings, and everything is set to 'Publish Content to my Wall", but my mobile pics continue to get uploaded directly to the album and do not publish. Anyone else having trouble with this? I'm not sure if it's a problem with the phone, the FB app, or my Facebook settings.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm just about done with development and emulator testing and I'm unclear how to proceed with getting my application ready for actual device testing and them publishing.
Here's my main concern: I have around 600 images that I will need to have loaded (on initial installation) onto an sd card. What is the best way to do this? HTTP? Is there an automated process? Is this handled by an installation script.
Are there documents that cover this type of scenario?
When it comes time for actual publishing the application, again, how will I handle loading the images onto the sd card during the initial installation?
In terms of publishing apps for developers that reside in countries where they are not currently able to sell their apps via the Android Market, is this practice okay? Does it violate the Terms and Conditions of being a seller in any way?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on an app that uses the rating bar (stars) to allow the user to grade information. The SDK version is 3 (OS 1.5 - <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3">, but the rating stars are shown incorrectly for devices with OS 2.1. I read some posts in the forum that suggest to upgrade the SDK version to 4 (OS 1.6 and higher), however this will excluse 1.5 users to download my application, and I do not want this to happen, because there are still a lot of 1.5 devices.
This makes me wonder: Is it possible to publish two versions for the same app simultaneously? For instance, publishing one APK for version 1.6 or higher version and another APK for 1.5 version simulataneously in the Market, both intended for the same application.
Is there a workaround for these kind of situations?
Like the Alarm Clock, Calculator, etc. I see that the source is available at :
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'm just about ready to Publish my application. I have a question about the Signing/Aligning of the application. In looking at the Android documentation they say to run "ant release" to compile the application in release mode. Then to sign and align the apk run "jarsigner" and "zipalign". I had used "android create project" to create my build.xml.
I modified it to run proguard. I find that when I run "ant release" it appears that signing is done as part of the process (I'm prompted for my keystore password) and the apk is zipaligned. I guess I'm confused that the documentation makes it 3 steps, "run ant release" then jarsign, then zipalign. BUT, my "ant release" seems to do everything. Is the documentation not upto date? Is it safe/acceptable to just run "ant release"?
I'm developing a mobile web browser application for Android which supports complex script rendering of Indic scripts.
For this, I used a currently available open source web browser for Android (which is licensed under GPLv3) & modified its code to support complex script rendering.
Now the code of the browser is from that open source app & the code of the complex script rendering part is from me.
My question is, Can I publish this application in a different name under the same license? (i.e. If the name of the open sourse app is "ABC Browser", can I publish the modified app which is able to support complex script rendering in a different name such as "XYZ Browser" under GPLv3 license?)
I am about to finish my Android application. I would like to provide lite version and more complete paid pro version. Unfortunately, Google does not allow Australian developers to sell applications and I don't have any friends in US or UK.
Does anyone know of a person/company who would publish my pro application on my behalf? Google search did not bring up any results.
Can I use the sample apps and edit them to publish them on the market?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on creating an Action Bar like the one from the new Android UI Patterns and I am running into a bit of trouble. I have a ViewSwitcher with two layouts in it. When the user taps the search button I animate between the two layouts. The problem is that the layouts are different sizes and I can't figure out how to make them take up the same amount of space. Here's what I mean. p.s. forgive the bad art, they are just place holders ;)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do something similar to that of the android lock screen pattern. I have a class that extends a view that I create multiple instances of. These appear on the screen all at once.
I need to be able to click on them individually and have each one turn green individually, however only one on touch listener is listening at once and it belongs to the last dot which appeared, so if I click anywhere on the screen the last appeared dot turns green no matter where I click.
Here is the code for my dot class:

CODEE:..........
where do I put this in my code, do I have to create a new class for it, or can I have it in an inner class, or does it not need a class at all?! I have a set up similar to Lunar Lander which comprises of two files, one of which is a thread that handles pretty much all the physics and drawing of the game. The other file begins the thread and saveInstanceState method. Furthermore, what type is mLibrary?! I cannot find out anywhere! I imagine I will put the OnGesturePerformed method in my thread as this is where I handle all keyUp and Down events.
I am required to work on an application which is be deployed on devices running Android 1.5. The application is supposed to maintain a connection with a server and regularly poll it for new data. The server will notify the client of new data following which the client will connect to the server and download the data.I know that ideally a push based approach will be more conducive here given that we are to run this on a mobile platform. Also, from Android2.2 there is going to be support for C2DM(Cloud to Cloud device Messaging) but as already mentioned this application is for devices running Android1.5.Implementation: I was thinking of using AlarmManager which would Broadcast Intents periodically(poll interval), The Broadcast receiver will then try to connect to the remote server and make data changed check. If the server has an update, the thread will connect to the remote server and download the data from the server.
Problem and Issues: 1. Is this the right way to approach the problem? 2. Is AlarmManager reliable? Would it remember Alarms after a device boot? (I think it does) 3. How do I ensure that battery usage is kept at minimum.(I have heard something about using "keep-alive" to sustain the session for longer time..what is this legend?) 4. What are other things that I need to consider? I am sure I must be missing lots of things here.
Does anyone have any good references for designing and implementing an idea I have for an android application. My idea is for an application that stores information and reviews about a specific location and presents this information to user.I have gone through all the tutorials and have been reading up on anything and everything about android. Now I am ready to challenge myself with my first app.
