New to smartphones. Example: Just bought Picsay Pro. I see the free version is still on the phone. Can I delete it, or does the Pro version utilize and build on the free one? Another example is Documents to Go. OK to delete free versions after upgrading to pay versions?

I used to be a C/C++ programmer before getting in to android. I am not sure how people maintain 2 versions of a program without using #ifdef preprocessor macros. Right now I am changing the package name in eclipse and changing the code manually, but this seems really inefficient. Can anybody suggest a good way of having 2 or more projects that share most of the code?

I basically want the Moto Droid lock screen on my EVO for the slide to toggle sound on/off feature due to the lack of an external switch on the EVO. Would I be best to get the paid version or will the free version do that?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAny way to get the version/build number programatically? I dug into Settings source code, it indicated that this info could be read from the file /proc/socinfo, but this file doesn't seem to exists on any of the devices I'm working with?!

View 1 Replies View RelatedBuild date is found on the inside of the back cover. Mine reads "DT10.04.26" I have a Version 2 Not exactly sure what the DT means, but the other numbers mean it was manufactured on 4/26/10. The DT could be the place of manufacturing? Or the line. Is anyone's different? This Poll is to try and figure out when the version 2 ended, and the version 3 began. It is also to figure out when the screen change was.

View 25 Replies View RelatedLet's say for example that I have some Android app that does X. The free version has ads or basic features. I want to have a paid version that removes the ads and adds extra features. How can I use the paid app as a "license key" to unlock the features in the free app? So the user would install the free app, then install the paid app to get the extra features, but they would still run the free app (which would now be unlocked). What's the best approach to doing this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy application is built on 2.2, but it is backwards compatible down to 1.6. I've used reflection for the newer methods. When I try to run it on an emulator in Eclipse, it only lists my 2.2 AVDs. I need to test on 1.6 to ensure compatibility. I've tried building with Android 2.2 and with Google APIs 2.2 with no luck. (what's the difference, anyway?) I have set <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" targetSDK="8"/> in my manifest. I also tried targetSDK="4".

I am releasing two versions of an app--free and paid. The differences between the two are few, and I would like to release both using the same codebase (maybe a different constant defined for the other build?). Has anyone done this? Can someone point me in the right direction?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a free app in the market and use the data directory of the app to store some files. Now I think about offering a paid (donate) version of the app, so that people who want to pay a few pennys will be able to do so. But AFAIK the new (paid) app needs a new name, so I won't be able to use the stored data of the free version. That means, that existing users would have to re-enter a lot of personal settings - which probably would be a no-no for a lot of users. So my question: Is there a smart way to have a free and a paid version in the market, where the later installed payed version can use the data of the free version? I thought about using the SD-card for data storage, but there might be devices without any SD-card...

View 25 Replies View RelatedI just finished reading the docs on Google's new Android License Verification Library. I often give out free copies of my applications to beta testers. I don't, however, want the beta testers to share the app with their friends. What's the best way to give out a device-specific license free version? From what I can tell I will need to create a custom policy and then maintain a list of authorized devices/accounts in my own backend that I can check. Is that what other devs are doing?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWell I like this Browser a lot. What do you get with the paid version vs the Free one ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application for which I am planning to release both a free and a paid version. I found that this will require the two versions of the application to each have different package names.
When a user upgrades from the free version to the paid version, the paid version needs to be able to access the database built by the free version. I am trying to understand the best way to make sure that upgrade does not disrupt the user's data.
I have read that the AndroidManifest file setting for shared user id should allow both applications to access the same data. I don't need the applications to both be running simultaneously, as I expect the user will uninstall the free version after upgrading to the paid version. However I need to make sure that if possible the user's data is not lost and is still accessible and usable by the paid version of the application.
I have read about a problem with the shared user id where uninstalling one application will cause the other shared application to stop working because its permissions get deleted, (see details at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2773 ) Apparently this issue is fixed in doughnut, but since all the currently deployed android phones do not have doughnut yet, this still seems like a significant problem.
In addition to the database information, I would also like to preserve the user's default shared preferences settings after the upgrade. However the default shared preference settings are not as critical as the data in the database.
I'm finishing to write my game and i'm thinking to participate to the ADC2. Since I also want to start selling the game to the android market asap, I want to know if is it possible to make a free demo version of the game to be used for the contest and a full paid version that is available to users that want to buy it before the contest has finished. Is it a violation of TOS or it can be done at my own risk (because the demo valued by judges is not the complete version?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf you have received the 2.1 OTA from Verizon, can you tell us your baseband version, kernel, build #, and software #.
Just to compare those to the 2.1v3 leak to see if they're the same.
I want to have a free version and a premium version of the same application. When people buy the application, I want them to be able to "upgrade" without losing their data, i.e. the premium version should install over the free version.I want to use the same code base and just switch a setting to build the premium version.
Andoid Market does not let me convert a free app to a paid app, so the trivial option is not available.I am curious if someone has tried this successfully. How does Android Market identify an application - will it think that the premium version is a different app and just install it in parallel?
Has anyone gotten the free version of where working yet? I have the apk but can't install because it says its already installed.
