Android :: Open System - Hardware Configurations And Drivers On Google
Oct 5, 2010
Android should become more like Windows. Android should be able to detect and recognize the different hardware configurations and adjust itself accordingly. This way, you hit two birds with one stone. No more fragmentation. No more differences in the UI, Custom UI will be entirely optional.
All the manufacturer has to do is make the hardware and provide the hardware drivers to Google. Simple as that. Everything will be so much easier. Phone manufacturers will be able pump out devices like crazy without any worries. Software developers won't have to worry about device compatibility. Come on Google, lets do it.

After reading the thread on here about not needing a task manager, I removed mine and downloaded system panel just to keep an eye on whats always running and be able to kill any rogue apps. However, whenever I open system panel lite, its only ever the one that seems to be using the most CPU in the foreground apps, with it having the most bar full on the left. So what I'm confused about is that whether its normally just using a lot of my CPU to keep track of things, in which case I should uninstall it, or whether its a case of it showing up as using so much because I am using it at the time of checking to check the CPU usage.

I have heard that a processor without graphics card will take a lots of time to produce a graphical entity,than one with graphics card. So is there anything like that if we use Open Gl in android application?
will my application become slow?

I am trying to write an app that requires different PDF files to be opened and displayed on the E-Reader side of the eDGe's dual screens while the app is running on the LCD side. I've been using Better Terminal Emulator to cruise around the eDGe's file system but can't seem to find the command that opens PDF files. Does anyone know it or is there even one?

When I am trying to build my application as a part of image I am getting the following error :
E/dalvikvm( 1334): Can't open dex cache '/data/dalvik-cache/ system@a...@test.apk@classes.dex': No such file or directory I/dalvikvm( 1334): Unable to open or create cache for /system/app/ test.apk (/data/dalvik-cache/system@a...@test.apk@classes.dex) E/Util( 1334): Class Not Found : java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
But when I push the apk manually to the device (into system/app), it works fine.
I am wondering why is it so as both ways the apk is present at system/ app only.

I have installed ADB and the whole Android SDK to root my asus transformer infinity (tf700t). I have taken all the steps every forum on the web describes: installing everything trough the manager, adjusting the path in the System Variables, and finally it getting it to work together with my tablet. However, when I try to flash/copy/install files from my folder (yes these files are in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe, which is the folder I used in the System Variables) It can't either find these files or it cannot open these files. When i put in the command 'path' however. I does give me the path where the files can be found.

I'm supposed to develop an app which behave like that: The User starts the app and can select between different configurations. Depending on the selection there are different colors, drawables and strings (e.g. urls for webservice-calls) to display. All the code-stuff is the same.
My first intention to do so was themes.... - is it possible to include somehow strings in themes? - what shall I do with styles which are referenced in some layout-xml (which are the same for all configs) and should use different colors. can't define colors or styles multiple times and don't want to change that manually (when user selects by code).

Is there a database anywhere that has all of the different devices that use the android operating system and what their technical specs are. Mainly screen size, screen density, internal storage, external storage, memory, etc.

When I connect my Vibrant phone to my Win XP system and select as Mass Storage, I can see two removable drives but can't open it? When I try to double click, it says "Please insert disk in to drive D:" My son's Win 7 system accepts it fine.

I just wanted to quickly bring up a topic that I had noticed lately. This comes to my attention for two reasons, firstly someone had posted that he had a user that reported a vague error message like "deleted all my pics", and the dev's were not able to reproduce it. Secondly, I myself have seen bug reports that really may not be relevant to my application. I had recommended to that first dev to just ignore the error for now since there was not enough info to reproduce it, and also for a second reason, there is no way to know what the user is truly running. For example, I've had a few bug reports, where a user says of my app "Doesn't work on HTC hero", but then another user will post "Works fine on Hero". I also had found a posting on the internet in a forum where a user had tried to use some of my software on a custom ROM, and he was having problems.
I guess the issue I'm bringing up here is that with the android market being somewhat "limited" in functionality, it makes it very hard on us developers to handle any customer issues such as bugs, etc. Especially since they could be using a custom ROM, or have ROOT access which also may even be affecting the software. My point is that developing for android in a professional manner is really not an easy task, and possibly it's just starting to be worth it (with market 1.6 at least there are some improvements) to develop paid apps. Basically Google needs to work harder though to improve this situation - and if users expect better apps (there are lots of complaints about the market being full of junk) then they need a way to report issues better, etc. And really it's not even up to a dev to try to match up with a custom ROM, technically it's not supported! (It's up to the dev of course if they want to investigate and try to support it).
What seems is going to happen is android is not only going to have multiple configs (which fortunately for us seems that the market will help filter them out if you app does not support them), but also we never can really know what is on a user's system. They may have some custom stuff, and they see a bug, but it could really not be our bug, but rather, in the system itself. This is why I still recommend that bug reports have to be weighed carefully as to whether they may really be a problem or not. It's an investment in time and while makers of free apps no doubt may not mind, those of us who develop paid apps don't want to multiply our costs by going down blank pathways.
I don't think I see any resolution to the situation in the near future, but I just wanted to make it clear that if a user reports a bug in their comments and gives you one star, it's not the end of the world. If you can reproduce it quickly and fix it, then that is great. But if not, move on - there is no way you can know exactly what they are talking about. I think some devs get too anxious about that one bad report. There is no way we are going to avoid that report! Because they may be using an untested ROM or such anyway, and it may not be worth your time to look at it in the long run. I've had few low stars here and there as well, and trust me, just keep improving your app and you will rise back up. As devs we need to encourage one another and I just want to try and help devs not get anxious about things that are really beyond their control.

I am trying to create a Video recorder but it looks like the video resolution is limited to 320 x 240. I tried changing it through MediaRecorder.setVideoSize() to something higher (e.g. 640 x 480) but gives me the same result. Is there a way to record video at higher quality? Also, when I try using the CAMERA as VideoSource instead of DEFAULT, the app force closes.
MediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT)
Which is the best configuration (encoding options?) to give the best video quality?

I am a platform developer and want to know how I can debug through the Android System code. I am making changes to the WindowManagerService and see a lot of statements like: (DEBUG_FOCUS) Log.v(TAG, "Clearing focused app, was " + mFocusedApp). My question is, how do I take advantage of these logs? I am using Eclipse on Ubuntu 9.10 and I have no idea how to actually debug this code.

You know that layout editor in the Android ADT plugin that lets you design the layout for ADP1, ADP2 and Nexus One, has anyone created other device configurations? It requires device information such as the x-dpi and y-dpi, which can be difficult to find out. I'm just wondering if anybody has added more device configurations they're willing to share? Perhaps together we could compile a huge devices.xml containing many of the devices out there. I'm fully aware the layout editor has many faults and cannot be relied upon but it is sometimes useful to rapidly preview how the layout might look on a wide variety of devices without switching between emulators.

I'm typically asking for the best speed settings such as kernals. OC widgets. Nightlies. I'd like to hear the best scenarios and apply them to my hero. JIT enabled? overclocked to 768? JIT disabled? Did a lot of reading from the CyanogenMod-6 for Hero V6.0.0 - RC1 thread. I know what is best so far, but flashing collins battery tweak on top of the uncapped kernal is a benefit or a negative? Some say you don't need to flash it but why not when it's making the battery last longer?

Is there a way, or an App that allows us to save the screen configurations /layouts , etc like on the Incredible?
For those that don't know, the Inc has preset themes and you can save whatever layouts, wallpaper setup you come up with. So you can switch whenever the mood strikes.

I'm not sure how many of you have noticed, but the reporting system of Google Checkout has been broken since around noon on Friday. Orders continue to display in the web interface, but any attempt to query for orders via HTTP requests or exporting orders to .csv files only returns updated information prior to 3/5/10. For example, if you had 50 sales yesterday and tried to access the orders via the notification API or my exporting a spreadsheet, the request would return no information.
I'm not even sure that the Google Checkout team is aware there is a problem. I posted a message in the Google Checkout forum:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/checkout-merchants/thread?fid=5...
There has been no official response. I realize it was over the weekend, but it's really starting to have a negative impact. If you are a dev affected by this, please either post in the thread I linked to or try to contact Google. If someone from Google actually reads this, could you please try to make the relevant team aware of this issue if they are not already?

I'm having some trouble with my Uni's WiFi in that it needs to use a manual proxy address to access properly. I've had a wee fiddle with many things and had a look on the marketplace but there doesn't seem to be anything that can help? (I'm still running 2.1 un-rooted btw)

Today is quite a big day to me. After all the work, studies and sleepless nights that I've been through, I've decided to share all that with the community opening the source of Phonebook Sharing. We have been chosen by the Android powered users as well as by Google as one of the ADC's Top 20 Social Networking applications. This application explores and makes use of many many features available by the platform (Android 1.5 / 1.6) as well as custom components/features that the platform does not provide yet, such as ListView pagination. Not just the Android client but also the J2EE server, I've made available quite a few interessting things such as Video Streaming and EJB3 stuff. I've also built a fake server that responds to all the request events made by the android client therefore you will be able to run client/ server and see how the communication goes. I'm still wrapping up the project building some documentation on our Wiki section.

I recently downloaded hidenseek, amongst other apps and every time i go to install the app(s), google maps opens up and then tells me it can't open the content, or some similar message. What's all that about then? (the apps haven't installed either).

I was just thinking that one day in the near future we will have Google operating systems on all of our devices i.e. phone, laptop, and tablet/pad. I am not sure what if any difference between Chrome and Android and how this will affect the likes of Microsoft and Apple. I believe that you can now download the complete Chrome operating system and install it on our laptops etc. See this link Google Android OS Now Available For Download. What are your thoughts on google operating systems.

Just tested it out, I sent a bing map to the phone and it opened up bing in the browser. Was hoping to at least have an option to 'open with' google maps. Any workarounds, you creative people? I wish chrometophone would auto-convert bing maps to google maps on the fly.

About 10 days ago, Play store froze on my device, now it won't open. Every time I click the app, it disappears for a moment then I am returned to home screen. I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, uninstalling updates, installing different playstore .apk from websites in an attempt to overwrite what I assume to be a corrupted .apk file. All to no avail. I have to do the dreaded reset??. BTW my device is not yet rooted. But if I have to reset, probably will root after.

I have an issue with Google Talk auto logging in after open the program. I went into settings and unchecked auto login. It's logged in to an email address I don't want to use. Is there a way for me to switch it to another one or be able to choose between the two of them? Is the auto login a glitch? By the way it's on my HTC Incredible.
