My application retrieve icons of installed apps on the phone. But for the dialer, the icon is different when I target a minSdkVersion = 3 or minSdkVersion = 4. I did not found different icon for an other application.
I am testing on a motorola milestone. and I use ActivityInfo.loadIcon() to load icons.
Can someone explain this behavior ?

I removed the Android Battery Manager widget by moving it to the trash bin because it was taking up too much room on the home screen. I thought it would still be located in the Adroid Widgets queue, but it is not. Is there a way to retrieve it?

How will this affect my app?
A few days ago I was trying to fix this issue: I have a header (three ImageButton's) and a ListView. If I use the dpad, pressing DOWN to focus the ListView, the ListView shows as selected the seventh or eighth row, not the first one.
What I need to do is that the first element of the ListView get the focus (or selection) when I use the dpad, from another screen component, but instead, the seventh or eighth is selected.
I had minSdkVersion=3 in my manifest. When I changed it to minSdkVersion=4 it worked as expected (first row selected). Don't know why, but there is a difference between both.
I have implemented a SearchManager which make uses of a searchable.xml with all the settings and put it in the xml/ directory.
I tried to create a new directory called xml_v4/ to add some attributes (the android:includeInGlobalSearch ie) which isn't supported in sdk3/1.5 but the xml directory seems not to be supported by the dir_suffixes.
How do I deal with this?
I wrote a basic soundboard app, and it runs fine there's nothing wrong with it. I want to upload it to the Market, but every time I try I get an error message:
Market requires the minSdkVersion to be set to a positive 32-bit integer in AndroidManifest.xml
That is already in there, I'm using 1.5 so I have my minSdkVersion set at 3. I don't understand what the problem is, and I've asked a lot of devs that never know what to tell me. I don't want to use a different platform because my phone currently uses 1.5. Others have suggested putting the <uses-sdk> line under the <manifest> line, but that hasn't helped at all.
Here is what my manifest looks like:
code:....................
i'm currently trying to specifically target ARMv7 custom hardware and I'm facing issues when trying to install the APK. When I try doing "adb install app.apk" Logcat informs me that: W/PackageManager( 1062): Native ABI mismatch from package file And does not install the APK. With searching I was able to trace down that the problem might have something to do with the architectures not matching on the APK and the platform. Is this it? How does the PackageManager find out the architecture from the APK file? I'm guessing it's not trying to execute the binary or anything, it just checks the files meta data? If so, is there a place in the APK where this information is located? Or am I completely hitting blank here and I should look somewhere else?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know what I have to do in order to have the Business Card Sample in SDK 3 (android 1.5), because it uses some stuff that does not compile in android 1.5, example: - if (sdkVersion < Build.VERSION_CODES.ECLAIR)... -import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts; -import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone; What is the best way to have the application compiling in eclipse and be able to run in android 2.0 and 1.5?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is for an Android application but I'm broadening the question to Java as I don't know how this is usually implemented. Assuming you have a project that targets a specific SDK version. A new release of the SDK is backward incompatible and requires changing three lines in one class. How is this managed in Java without duplicating any code(or by duplicating the least amount)?
I don't want to create two projects for only 3 lines that are different. What I'm trying to achieve in the end is a single executable that'll work for both versions. In C/C++, you'd have a #define based on the version. How do I achieve the same thing in Java?
Here's my situation: I have an app that's been compiled using 1.5 SDK and minSdkVersion=3. Now I want to add 2 icons: one for high density screens like Droid and another one for low density screens like G1.
For this, I added the high density icon to new directory drawable-hdpi- v4/. I then compiled using 1.6 sdk and added targetSdkVersion="4" to the manifest. minSdkVersion is still 3.
This is working in limited testing, but I'm not sure if I have done everything correctly.
I have many questions:
1. By specifying v4 in drawable-hdpi-v4, the icon will not be displayed to 1.5 or below OS's. But what about users with 2.0 or higher SDK's? Will they get the non-hdpi icon, since they will have v6 or v7 ?
2. The documentation for targetSdkVersion states, "Specifying this target version allows the platform to disable compatibility settings that are not required for the target version (which may otherwise be turned on in order to maintain forward-compatibility)". Does this mean that my app will not be forward compatible as soon as I specify a targetSdkVersion? What exactly is being turned off?
3. Even if I leave out the targetSdkVersion="4", the app runs ok. So do I really need it?
4. Should I be using the latest SDK (2.1) and setting that as the targetsdkversion and compiling against that? Or some other combination of targetsdkversion and compiling sdk? I'm not using any API's that are not in 1.5..
5. Is any of this related to why some of my HTC Eris users have complained that they can no longer find my app in Market after upgrading to 2.1?
I"m planning to store my data in a binary format as a resource, read it into an int buffer and basically pass it straight down to a native C++ function, which might cast it to a struct/class and work with it. No pointers, obviously, just ints and floats. The question is - what kind of fixing up do I need to do? I suppose that I need to check ByteOrder.nativeOrder(), figure out if it's big Indian or little Indian, and perform byte-swapping if need be. Other than that, floats are presumably guaranteed to be expected in IEEE 754 format? Are there any other caveats I'm completely overlooking here? (Also - since I'm compiling using the NDK, I know what architecture it is already (ARMv7-A, in my case), so can I technically skip the Indian shenanigans and just take the data the way it is?)

I'm using windows 7 and a sony Xperia J.I rebooted both already, and re-installed the drivers (assuming I installed the correct drivers, but I'm pretty sure I did)
I have the following clear message :
Market requires the minSdkVersion to be set in AndroidManifest.xml.
But my manifest has the line : <uses-sdk minSdkVersion="2" /> and I also tried even <uses-sdk minsdkversion="2" />... I try to put this line : as the first child of manifest, as the last child and also right after application.. Is there a hidden rule I don't know ...
I have people complaining my application gets FC when they launch it (meanwhile others never had a single problem). Here is my full activity source. Since it happens on devices I don't own I can not fix it. From what they tell me it doesn't work on: Motorola Blackflip, Motorola Dext, Motorola CLIQ XT. Guess Motorola doesn't like my app after all...
Could it be that I allow a minSdkVersion="3"? I tested 1.5 on the emulator and worked fine... code...

View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's suppose I want to install an app that doesn't have a launcher icon. Maybe it contains content providers, or maybe it is a license key app that just needs to be present.What is the proper way to do that? If I don't have an <application> tag at all, that works, but I don't think that is the proper way, since <provider> and <receiver> are also inside <application>.But the user experience is *unacceptable*. Instead of being removed, the icon sticks around and says 'Application not installed' until they reboot their phone, or, more likely, go for the refund.
