I am a Mac user (photographer/ videographer). I also rely heavily on my iPod Touch when mobile (i can often find a wifi signal when i am out and about). I use iCal on the Touch and iCal on my Mac as well as the address book on both everyday and as a Mobile Me user, my two devices sync so everything is mirrored and up to date. I also HATE AT&T for their terrible signal strength and coverage and have been a loyal Verizon customer for many years and this is why I don't have an iPhone. Okay, all that being said, is there an easy way to still use everything I love and rely on with my Mac (the calender and address book, mainly) and easily sync all of my existing information and future info to an Android based device? How easy is it to use an Android device with a Mac? I don't want to have to manually re-enter my entire address book into a new device.

Also dont know if this is the right section really. If this works, or can work, it might revolutionize, lets say, Blackberry to Android and vice versa, messaging.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've been using androids MediaPlayer to stream from an http url and have a question about seeking. Currently, our urls expire after they have been used once or a certain time out has expired to dissuade scraping content. Now, this obviously makes progressive streaming past the buffer impossible with the exact same url as you need to open a new http connection with the same mangled key, which we intentionally don't allow.
However, MediaPlayer seems to do this when seeking before the current position (i.e. seeking from 1:00 in the audio to 0:30). As the file has already been downloaded up to the current position I'm confused as to why MediaPlayer is still trying to initate a new http connection in this case? The only thing I can think of is that MediaPlayer is getting rid of audio its already played up to the current position, and hence needs to restart the connection if you try to seek back on the stream. Is this correct, or is there something else going on?
An error that appeared in my Flurry logs but seemed impossible to reproduce otherwise just occured That's the good news.The bad news is that the LogCat info is not telling me enough.I would appreciate a second set of eyes taking a look and offering wisdom.The lead up is that I was playing with my app, and put it away for a while. I did a lot of other things with my phone since, like making phone calls, etc I hooked up my phone to the computer to make another attempt to find the mystery bug, and decided to see if anything weird appeared in the logs from earlier.I then brought my app to the foreground using the Home/Hold technique and whamo the bug appeared before my eyes in LogCat.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've tried BeamReader Pro/paid, QuickOffice free and Adobe's Android Acrobat Reader. All have problems.
Acrobat Reader and QuickOffice free do not have the ability to search a PDF.
BeamReader Pro can search a document, but won't make use of an embedded index, so searches are slow, even on pre-indexed PDFs.
BeamReader looses its mind when you switch from portrait to landscape.
Acrobat Reader and QuickOffice recognize phone numbers in PDFs, so you can tap to dial them on Android, but BeamReader Pro does not.
I am very disappointed with all of the above. Is there anything better? I see that there is a US$9.99 paid version of QuickOffice, but the description does not mention capabilities pertaining to PDFs.
I'm a mobile media product developer at a major media company in New York City, and we are looking for a vendor with experience in Android, web apps, and mobile in general.

Please reply with a brief description of your Android experience and a link or a word about yourself and your company.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFive years ago I used to program in SAS. Since then I've been doing software QA of various types. Mostly manual (video games + web apps) testing with a tiny bit of automation.
I'd really like to shift careers back into programming. Specifically the Android platform has caught my attention. These are the books I've been reading and working through.
Learning Java, Third Edition - O'Reilly
Beginning Android 2 - Mark Murphy
Hello, Android - Ed Burnette
However, I think I need something that looks at programming from a less language dependent standpoint. Something that takes a bird's eye view if that makes sense.
It's very easy to see how particular functions work, but I'm looking to get a better sense of how all the pieces fit together. How does one split up an app into individual classes and packages? Do I have a method in main that shuffles my deck of cards (object) or does the class deck of cards have a method I can call to shuffle itself?
I think I'm looking for a book on object oriented design? I've also been working through the tutorials and examples at http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html and also in the three books I've been reading so far. Maybe I just need to spend more time coding though?
I'm looking for constructive feedback about a game I developed, iA Soccer/Football. I've only been able to test on a Nexus 1, and would really like feedback from people who can test the game on other models. If you reply to this thread, please let me know which phone model you're using. Thanks! NOTE: THIS GAME IS ONLY FOR ANDROID 2.1 OR HIGHER.
View 15 Replies View RelatedAlright I sifted though all the root/upgrade threads only to find myself confused so I apologize for the possibly common question but I seek clarification.
Some months back when I got my HTC Eris I installed a 2.1 leak and rooted it. Not 100% sure but I believe it was Version 2. I used these instructions:
Now that the official 2.1 is out I want to switch to it and root it again. I started looking at the pinned threads only to realize that depending on how and what one installed on ones phone it may or may not be possible and instruction vary.
Can someone point me to the set of instructions that apply to my case or confirm that I am out of luck. If you need some firmware build code etc from my phone to make an accurate recommendation I would be happy to provide the information.
I'm sorry for being a newbie with all this root stuff, but I've been searching and haven't been able to find a "set" guideline on what to do with my just-rooted Eris. So I've gotten my phone rooted with the DUMMIES phone-only guide and rom'ed with Evil Eris 4.0, but I don't know what exact measures to take from there to install Engtools, OC, flash new roms, etc. I just want to be careful with everything in order to have the best possible root experience D: Basically, I don't know what "pushing" is and how it's done. I think the first thing I want to do is install Engtools, following this:
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/121597-how-install-engineering-bootloader.html
But, is amon's recovery already installed from the dummies phone-only root? Do I just vol-up+power-on when the phone is off to start it up? After that, what do I do with the codes? How do I push?
Also, after pushing all these files and getting Engtools installed, do I start OC'ing and whatnot? What do people normally do after rooting for performance improvements and other handy-dandy things?
Finally, how do I switch to a different ROM? Do I have to undo one ROM first?
When I had my Crackberry, I used to love a game called 'Brickbreaker' which was based on the classic 'Wipeout', I think. Anyway, I was absolutely addicted to this thing and it saw me through many a boring journey.
I can't find anything in the android market that looks like it might be the same game. Can anyone help me out here? I'm sure it's in there somewhere as it's such a classic. Perhaps it goes under even more names? Oh, I own a HTC Hero, (T-Mobile G2 touch) btw!
Is it possible to have the sender's name/number displayed on the lock screen when a text is received? I've got handcent installed and I've got it set up so that when I receive a text, the quick reply box pops up for 10/20 seconds. But if I'm away from my phone and I later check to see if I've received a text, the only indication I have is a small icon on the navigation bar.

I'm attempting to create an app that will display usage information for customers of Roger's Wireless(Canada). I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to:
1) input Username and Password info directly a web textbox to sign the Customer in, from an EditText View.
2) grab usage information in the form of text or images to display to the user within the app.
Just a pointer in the right direction on what method(s) would do this for me.

Spent my morning researching and pulling the latest facts about Mobile Firefox.

View 21 Replies View RelatedI've integrated lots of private information like accounting, messaging, emails, tasks and so on, into desktop widgets and everywhere around the phone. Every so often, someone wants to take a look at the phone and play around. Reading some important stuff is one thing, but people tend to mess the stuff around as well. Have you found a program or a way to protect from that? (other than denying to the people :> ) I guess some kind of shell program that you turn over when someone wants to demo the phone would be a nice solution.
