I need test my Android app on a Motorola Cliq but don't have one. Is there a testing service that will let me make a debug connection to that device so I can run some tests and find out where the code is failing. Video connections won't tell me that.

I am making an android game, but i do not have the money to buy a developer phone. The game is not finished but i should it is testable.. and if i dont test it know i may have a big problem later... it is playable though. Is there somebody who has a real device and wants to test the game for me, just starting it up and playing it a little bit is good enough. It's a 2d airplane shoot gane, much like the old raptor game. If someone is interested please reply, i will sent you the (singed) APK and with some things i want to test (using both the buttons as well as touch screen for gameplay).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to display the status of the activity execution on the screen using the TextView while activity is executing. I am appending the String messages at different stages of execution in the TextView, which is defined in the Layout main.xml (e.g. TextView.append("Server started..").
For e.g. I am running socket communication application in which my android application is the server and it is receiving the messages from the local desktop. So in this application I want to show "Server started.." message when socket server on android started , then a messge "waiting for message.." and then "message receivied.." when message received by android server.All 3 steps are the part of a single activity.
But in my case, I am getting all 3 messages at a time after activity execution completed. Is there any API available, using which I can show the status during the execution also.
Resent, it seems that the thread to android-discuss is lost.

It's frustrating that some phones cannot see our apps in the market, and we'd like to know which phones those are.
We'd like to have a simple way to have our app tested on each phone, but at this point there's no easy way to do that.
My question is: what would we as developers be willing to do to get these needs met? Is there enough demand for someone to buy all possible Android devices and charge a nominal fee for these services?
We would pay a small fee to have out app accessed and downloaded on all phones--this would give us a report of which phones could access our app. We would pay a fee to have a step-by-step test ran on each possible device so we could know it worked on that device, at least minimally.
I'm trying to make my application (compiled against 2.1) compatible with the 1.5 platform. I've handled all of the res/ folder issues, and have been able to run the app on all platforms without problems. I can run it fine on all emulators, and all devices/OS systems running 1.6 or higher. But on the only 1.5 device I have (HTC Hero), I get intermittent problems.
The only 1.5 device I have is an HTC Hero phone I got free at the Sprint developer conference a few months ago. When I test the app on that device, I have occasionally encountered a bug I've not seen anywhere, and can't find any information about.
I can install the application via the adb install command (although I get two messages about unknown commands), but after installing the app, the icon can disappear from the home screen, replaced either with a different icon or no icon.
When the app is launched in this state, rather than seeing my application name in the title bar, it reads "60.0dip". I don't use this value anywhere in my application.
I have never observed this problem on any other phone I've tested on (G1, myTouch, two Motorola Droids, Nexus One), but as I said I've only got one device running 1.5.
I am starting android development which phone is good for testing? or is emulator good enough? I am doing game development.

View 16 Replies View RelatedI have gotten to to the point where I need to test my application on a real Android device. I have obtained an Motorola Droid phone and attached it to my computer (Windows).I have installed the USB driver, and I believe that my computer can see the phone. When I start up the DDMS it shows my device as 'Online'. I cannot, however, figure out how to get the debugger to use the device instead of the emulator. The Android documentation states that when I run my program from within Eclipse that I should be presented with a 'Device Chooser', but that does not happen. I read somewhere else that pressing F11 will bring up the Device Chooser, but it only runs the application on the emulator. I know there is probably something obvious that I am missing here, but I cannot figure out what it is.

I did the steps which are described in Android DevGuide. I.e. exported my app with the generated key. Am i right assuming that this is enough? As i understand eclipse signs and aligns application automatically when selecting Export.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd love to get some ideas on best practices for testing our Android software, especially for AT&T devices. We're using a Samsung Captivate, on AT&T. As you know, AT&T disables sideloading (no Unknowns Sources option in Settings->Applications). We need to have our QA team load our apk file onto these devices as part of our testing and validation process. We're willing to install the SDK if needed, and upload the apk file via USB. We are not willing to root the phone.

I've been developing on the simulator, but now I have a real device.
adb can see the device (from adb devices), and I've installed Eclipse/ ADB.
I can't work out how to get debug to use the device instead of the simulator though.
I'm new to Android development, and am attempting to run a test application on my actual device. I followed the instructions at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html (and related links), but the Android Debug Bridge (adb) doesn't recognize my connected device.
Some quick background info, I'm running WinXP, developing with Eclipse, with a Motorola Droid running Android 2.1 as my physical device.
An overview of the steps I've taken: Installed the Android SDK, downloading all necessary packages. Enabled USB Debugging on my device. Connected Device via USB, installing the driver from the SDK folder.
I'll stop here (though I continued to setup my application to be debug-able in Eclipse), because I at this point I noticed a problem.
Running "sdkoolsadb devices" at this point (at least, by my understanding), should list my device as connected. However, running this yields only: List of devices attached
My device recognizes that it's connected to a computer in debug mode, and my computer recognizes the device. However, I can't seem to get the sdk to recognize it. I'll leave out the steps I used to setup Eclipse for debugging on a device, as it doesn't seem relevant to the problem. I'll include them if requested.
I have a HTC Desire which i would like to debug and run my Android application on. But when i in Eclipse gets the Window where i can choose between devices my HTC Desire is listed with only questionmarks (???).
I have tried this:
Enabled USB Debugging on my device and enabled debugging in my application Manifest.xml file.
In Terminal i have do this:
1. Log in as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules.
2. SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
3. sudo service udev restart
Why don't I get LogCat messages when I debug on a real device as opposed to the emulator?

I'm trying to develop an android application that uses network connection.
