Android :: Putting App For Testing On My Dev Phone
Jan 29, 2009
I have gotten through signing up as an Android developer, joined Android Market, and recieved and activated my Android Developer Phone.I have my first draft application running in the emulator.The documentation suggests testing it throughly on the device, however, I don't want to put it up publicly in the Android Market until I am satisfied with the app.
1) Is there a way to privately post a testing app on Android Market? If so, would somebody please point this newbie to the HOW-TO?
2) Is there a way to push my app onto my developer phone without using Android Market? If so, would somebody please point this newbie to the HOW-TO?
I'm having more fun working with this Android stuff than I have had in years! As soon as I learn enough to contribute I'm going to be overjoyed to share it.

I'm not sure what's going on with my Evo, but all of a sudden it's been deciding to put itself in silent mode for no apparent reason and I'm missing tons of calls because of it. I will turn the sound back on and then all of a sudden it's off after a couple of hours for no apparent reason. I don't want to have to return the phone, but I'm not sure what other options I have at this point. Has anyone heard of this issue?

I have a calender for my school schedule. I usually like my phone to ring, but during class I can't have that happen. I miss a lot of calls because I always have my phone in vib or silent because of school. Is there a way that I can the phone in vibrate when im in class or other meeting type events? I'm using the calender that came with my phone synced to my google calender.I'm not sure if the calendar software being used on my phone is an android default, htc, or google calender software. The phone is evo4g on 2.1.

I've been exploring the Android test package and I'm very confused on how to implement functional testing for endpoint-to-endpoint.
Consider the example below, I have 4 activities: 1. A Contact List Activity 2. A View Contact Activity 3. An Add/Edit Contact Activity 4. A Sync Contact List activity
I want to automate a few tests that will go through multiple test cases simulating a user experience: From launching the application, to selecting 'Add contact;' opening the add contact activity, entering data, saving it, going back to the list activity, and verifying the new contact was saved properly.
As I understand it, ActivityInstrumentationTestCase<T extends Activity> and ActivityUnitTestCase<T extends Activity>, are only useful for testing single activity functionality.
But what if I need to switch between 2 or more activities inside a single functional test case?

I have a simple app that i'm trying to test on my actual Android phones. I have an HTC merge and a Droid razr. Eclipse is installed on windows 7, not the 64-bit one. I downloaded the sdk and adt plugin and my app works must fine on an emulator. I installed the google USB drive via the adt manager, enabled USB debugging on both phones and also allowed non market apps to be installed. When I connect them to my laptop and try to run my app in eclipse, the only devices the IDE sees are the emulators..

I want to activate my hero again but it's rooted so I can't take it into the store to have it activated.I want to put my phone back to the original factory settings but every time I try to sync it with HTC Sync it just keeps resetting itself. I tried downloading a copy of HTC Sync and I have even installed it from my phones SD card (I backed it up before I rooted). Every time I plug the phone into my computer then hit the HTC Sync under notifications the phone keeps rebooting and HTC Sync doesn't even recognize it (my computer does though) I am using a netbook running Windows XP.

I know how difficult and confusing It can be to root your phone, or put a custom ROM. If you need help, I will be more than willing to answer your questions.

I have a huge problem testing my app on my HTC Wildfire. It was working fine until recently, but now I always get a force close error when I run or debug a new version of the app.When I try to run the app on the emulator it still works, when I disconnect the phone from the PC, the app also runs on the phone (including all changes).I was working on a xml file when this happened. If someone could help me out here, that would be great because this is really weird and I really don't know what I should do now.

Do most of the Android developers on this list use their own phone for testing? Or there are ways to obtain Android phones that are unlocked and require no contract? Any advice on that?

I have a new android app I put on the marketplace a few days ago. I did quite a bit of testing on my moto droid before publishing it and tried to be very thorough. Well, I got some negative comments back on how it didnt run right on someone's EVO 2.2 or X10 (didnt even know what that was at first). Well, it runs perfect on my phone.
Any advice on how I'm supposed to fix or support an app that runs on like 100 different phones?
How are other developers approaching this? (without actually buying every phone out there).

I want to get a screen protector (probably Ghost Armor) but am still considering exchanging the Droid down the road. Will Verizon still take it? Or are protectors easily removable?

I'd like some feedback from your experiences on the best option to test GPS based applications. I've been developing apps and in the middle of this will have to ship out to Afghanistan for a 1 year tour. Perfect opportunity to concentrate on the apps in the down-time (nothing to do stuck on a base most of the time in a 10x15 shippping container). This is bad (with bad being a relative term) from the standpoint that there are no "data" plans in Afghanistan for GSM phones. I can get GSM service but no "data" plans. If i buy a Android OS phone I'm concerned about how I can update it with new firmware and load apps. I will have wifi access, but from what I've read this will not enable a "push" of the new firmware update to the phone as if I was with T-Mobile. Any suggestions on what phone i should buy and how to "test' my applications where I can update my firmware and load my apps onto the phone?

My boss recently gave me an HTC Wildfire phone for doing an Android version of one of our mobile apps, which is all fine and good, except that the app requires API level 8 (ie Android 2.2), and the phone itself only has Android 2.1 installed. After much googling, I discovered that this phone does support Android 2.2, and carriers will be rolling out updates over the air for this model phone "in the near future". Since I'm not entirely certain what our lazy carrier's definition of "near future" is, it would be nice if I could download images for particular releases and install them on my phone. Coming from the world of the iPhone, it seems that this should be something rather necessary in order to successfully develop an Android app. Yet, it doesn't seem that Google offers any Android OS updates themselves. Have I no choice but to wait for the carrier to release an update?

I'd like to send an sms message. If the text is too long, I split it into multiple messages. I'm trying to put some extra info into the "sent" intent to know which part has been sent, and when all the parts are complete: The message is sent, and I catch the intent when each part is sent - but the intent always has the same data in it. For example, "partIndex" is always zero, even though for the second message, it should be one. Seems like the same intent just keeps getting thrown to my broadcast receiver. What's the right way to do this?

I'm still trying to figure out how best to layer views on top of other views. I want to do something like the ZoomButtons on top of a custom view. I tried getting the ZoomButtonsController's parent and then adding views, but I didn't have enough control and they ended up on top of the buttons. I've gotten close by using a FrameLayout and some gravity on the top two views. But this has some interesting effects. Since this is contained with a tab, these two top views appear on top of all four of the tab pages. I want them on top of one of those pages only. Apparently, nested FrameLayouts don't mix well. What is the proper and expected way to do this? Here is more or less my complete layout....................

I have a bunch of objects that implement Serializable that I want to store in a SQL database.
I have two questions:
Is there a way to serialize the object directly into the database. Is that the best way to do it or should I Write the object out to a formatting String and put it in the database that way and then parse it back out
Write each member to the database with a field that is unique to each object.

I'm trying to create a form like dialog to accept a few EditText and a spinner. Somehow I can display the spinner but then I start implementing the array and setOnItemSelectedListener it crash. Did I do anything wrong?
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
final View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.generate_pwd, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.generate_pwd));
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
Spinner spin=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
ArrayAdapter<String> pwdTypeArray = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, R.array.password_type);
pwdTypeArray.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spin.setAdapter(pwdTypeArray); builder.setView(layout);
// Now configure the AlertDialog builder.setTitle(R.string.generate_pwd_title);

I'm trying to pass an object from an activity to another activity. In the first activity i do:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondsActivity.class); intent.putExtra("package.class", SerializableObject);
And in the second activity:
Class object = (Class) extras.getSerializable("package.class"); objetc.modifySomething(2432);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ThirdActivity.class); intent.putExtra("package.class", SerializableObject);
But if i modify the object in the second activity, it fails when i send this object to a third activity.Why does it fail? What am i doing wrong? I just need to pass objects between diferent activities because i have an object which contains many information, and creating a Boundle would be very big and ugly in my code.

When I add a new contact to my phone it doesn't show up in the contacts list. When I dial the number manually it shows the name of the person I am calling or that I added. Where is it putting my new contacts? Is there a group setting somewhere I missed?
I also noticed that all my numbers that were brought over from my old phone are listed twice when I go to edit a contact. They are only listed once when I look up a contact but under edit there are two screens with the same info.

We are planning on this strategy to distribute our application to clients. We would like to get your your thoughts, if you have done something similar, in terms of whether we are missing something. We have tested this approach and it works.We want to distribute our application to our clients without putting it on the market as we do not want every one to download it. We want our clients to be able to easily get future upgrades to the application. Here is how we are planning to do this:
1. export the apk file using the Eclipse wizard.
2. put this apk file on a website. The user will be able to go to this website on the browser on the phone and install the 1st version of the app.
3. next versions of the app will have an incremented android:versionCode, and android:versionName in the manifest. A button in the settings will point to a link which will have the next version of the app. So to upgrade the user will click on this settings button and download the next version and click on the apk file to replace the old version.All subsequent versions of the app will be signed by the same certificate using the export wizard in Eclipse

My app seldom needs to put the device (or screen) to sleep. That is - programmatically imitate user pressing on red stop-call button. According to docs PowerManager.goToSleep() does just that, but requires android.permission.DEVICE_POWER, which is never granted to apps!
(A) What on earth should I do to get this working?
(B) How can I programmatically wake up the device.
just to clarify - I'm not interested in a wake lock solution.
