I am interested in developing things for google apps and android using python and java. I am new to both and was wondering if a environment set in windows or linux would be more productive for these tasks?

More and more mobile platforms are being launched and sdk's are available to developers. There are various mobile platform are available,Android,iOS,Moblin,Windows mobile 7,RIM,symbian,bada,maemo etc.
And making of corss platform application is headache for developers. I am searching common thing across the platforms which will help to developers who want to port application to all platforms.Like what is the diff screen resolution, input methods, open gl support etc. please share details that you know for the any of platform . or is there possibilities , by writing code in html (widget type of thing) and load it into native application. I know about the android , in which we can add the web view into application. by calling setContentView(view)
Please share the class details where we can add the html view into native application of different type of platforms that you know.
Purpose of this thread is share common details across developers. marking as community wiki.

I have the latest version of Eclipse, Google Android SDK, Subclipse (not sure if that's relevant) and Google App Engine plugin.
While trying to work on an Android project, I ALWAYS get the following error:
"The applet is attempting to access the file "isFile" state attributes..."
Plus 3 buttons: Allow, Disallow and Stop applet.
It keeps popping this message, sometimes 10-20 times in a row until it leaves me alone. Then on the next file save, update or changes to the project, it shows the message again.
Here's a screenshot:

I was checking out the Google Maps Data API and I was wondering if I can follow their Java Development guide to use it on the Android platform? I want to display routes that I have created on Google Maps on the phone.

View 2 Replies View Related1) What Android-compatible hardware platforms (boards, like "beagle board") can you recommend for hobby robotics? Where can I see a list of Android-friendly boards with support of serial (or parallel) connections?
We are going to move our Java ME robotics project (http:// www.RoboHobby.com) to Android platform, but what hardware to choose?
2) What can you say about support of serial connection on Android- based phones? Does it work in reality? As I remember, in the Java ME world not all cell phones manufacturers supported serial connections on their J2ME implementations. For example serial connections were supported on some models of Siemens and Sony-Ericson, but they were not supported on Nokia and Sumsung, etc.
What is going on with serial connection support in the Android World? Is this supported in reality? On which cell phones?
3) Is it possible to use on Android devices (boards) not BlueTooth/USB conection, but wired connection, like RS232 "COM" port on PC?
I see funny wordplay - Android as a Google project and Android as a human-like robot. :-)

First of all, I just want to say I am a software developer, but I am not an Android developer. However I usually walk around and think on stuff. AndI've been recently thinking all the news concerning how fragmented Android is getting, with different Android versions and tweaks by different phone manufacturers, and then for developers you have different size formats. An example would be that HTC Tattoo might not be able to run everything that another phone might run, due to different screen formats, etc. And now the Android tablets are coming with different Android versions and different screen sizes, all from 5" to 11". Will this make developing Android applications harder? Apple has it safe here since they manufacturer all devices that run the iPhone OS: the pods, phones and now the pad so they can easily control and make sure not to loose any customers by introducing a new device. When Apple introduced iPad they had to make sure that all the old iPhone applications would work on the iPad. They solved that neatly by saying that iPhone applications will simply be stretched out to the double size and it would fit on the iPad. Unfortunately Android does not have the same luxury to do this. As I said, I am not an Android developer. Just a curious software developer For you guys who work actively in the Android community, does Google have a solution for this? Will you be able to run phone applications on the tablets? Is there a bridge between the devices? Are there any standardizations or will Android development become even more fragmented? you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

and it runs ok, except when I click on my icon in the map, the dialogue box does not come up. And the application stops.

I am working on a mobile app on the Android platform (and going forward for the iPhone) and am evaluating the Flurry Analytics and Google Analytics platforms for the app. Both platforms have SDKs for the Android and the iPhone and seem very similar in most ways.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm new here and I want to start things out by asking you guys about certain things Android is lacking. As many of you know, the OS is only a year old but is rapidly evolving. I don't own an Android device yet (I currently have the HTC HD2). I'm waiting for Android to grow considerably bigger so I won't have to worry about future upgrades. Android is an awesome OS and a lot of devices carrying the OS is very good, but I feel there are some things is still lacking. In your opinions, what are the things still lacking? I can only think of one (only because my brain is dried out from work): full flash support. I guess you can also add: more memory but this is more of a micro-SD card issue instead of Android.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI just about got this, but I have a small problem in the order of things going off.
Specifically, in my thread() I am setting up an array that is used by a Spinner. Problem is the Spinner is all set and done basically before my thread() is finished, so it sets itself up with a null array.
How do I associate the spinners ArrayAdapter with an array that is being loaded by another thread?
I've cut the code down to what I think is necessary to understand the problem, but just let me know if more is needed. The problem occurs whether or not refreshData() is called.
Along the same lines, sometimes I want to call loadData() from the menu. Directly following loadData() if I try to fire a toast on the next line this causes a forceclose, which is also because of how I'm implementing ProgressDialog.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI turned on DEBUG_CHECK_GL_ERROR for my GLSurfaceView to try to figure out why I'm having a problem on pause/ resume/reload everything, and when I turned it on, I got an UnsupportedOperationException when calling GL11.glGenBuffers() (for creating Vertex Buffer Objects).
Why is it saying that operation is unsupported when:
1) The vertex_buffer_object extension is listed on the target device and my code checks for it before trying to use VBOs.
2) VBOs are working correctly (and really well might I add).
This is on a G1. Yes, I know the G1 is only OpenGL ES 1.0 compliant and I'm trying to use a 1.1 extension, but if the phone lists the extension, doesn't that mean I can use it? Also - the extension works! Does this mean that it works but use-at-your-own-risk, kinda like how SoundPool was in Android 1.0?

I have a couple of apps working using eclipse and the emulator. I now want to try the apps on my htc aria. I went through downloading the usb driver as the Android Developers documentations sans and a usb driver folder now shows up in my sdk folder. However, apparently there isn't a driver for the HTC aria in the folder.
After research some people suggested using htc sync. I donwloaded htc sync and let windows check that I had the latest version. However, my phone keeps saying that it can't find htc sync on my computer.
When I plug in my HTC aria, the device manager on my lap top recognizes two devices as listed below: My HTc under Android USB devices and a HTC Android Phone USB Device. I clicked on update driver for both devices, Windows found them on-line and verified that they were the latest. I dont understand why there are two drivers, but My HT seems to have a problem as listed below. One thing that I should mention is that I am using the dreaded VISTA.
Device Manager: Android USB Devices: My HTC Device status: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Description: Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 37.
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:
CODE:.................
HTC Android Phone USB Device
Device Status: This device is working normally. Driver Provider: Microsoft Driver Date: 6/21/2006
So, the best I can tell is that there isn't a driver from the normal Android repository for the htc aria yet. And, for some reason my computer can't handle the htc sync drivers.
Will there be a usb driver for the htc aria that I can download from Android Developers in the future? Has anyone else been able to get htc sync to work with the htc aria? Is there anohter way to transfer my apps to the phone for development?
I guess that I can always use the ddms environment and transfer the app, but I really wanted a more graceful way to do this.
If it's possible to develop on an android device or if it will happen anytime soon?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on an app that has a homescreen. This homescreen should behave like the android homescreen where you can switch between several views by flinging your finger over the touch screen.
The solution is easy. I have 3 view instances, right, left and current view. I get this instances from the viewflipper that I initialized earlier. Since I have a HTC G1 my sreen is 320 px in width and 480 px in height.
Imagine you capture the down value of a action down motion event when you touch the screen. Then you move your finger and the screen should move in exactly the same way so you have to recalculate the view's position. It works for me so far but I am facing a strange problem. When you touch the right view without moving you finger but keeping it on the screen for less then a second the view disappears and shows the left view.
Here is my code:..........................
I think such a Homescreen for your own app could be a interestion UI element.
