Android :: Strategy For Branching In Subversion With Mobile Releases

Oct 5, 2010

I'm developing a series of applications for mobile devices, we'll call them Orange, Cherry, and Pear. Now, because of my familiarity with Blackberry, I chose to begin implementing the first of these three applications, Orange, on the Blackberry platform. I found a way to integrate a number of Blackberry platforms (since they use relatively the same API among different BB operating systems, with some exceptions) into the same codebase. Currently, my codebase looks something like this:I thought that perhaps another thing I could do would be to create separate projects, for instance orange-blackberry and orange-android. This might clutter my svn repository, however, since we keep all of our projects in the same repository. So, inevitably, I will have orange-blackberry, orange-android, cherry-android, cherry-blackberry, pear-android, pear-blackberry, along with a series of project folders for any other application I create. So, I'm looking for some feedback about what might be the best way to manage all of this chaos. Also, if you could throw in some ideas about the logistics of transferring from my current implementation to the newer one, (i.e. what svn commands I should use to maintain history.

Android :: Future OS Releases

Nov 17, 2009

With being a wireless industry professional for 15 years now, I have come across many different types of devices, OS's, just about it all.I wanted to love Windows mobile couldnt take the constant crashing.I wanted to love the Palm 650 well, I wont even go into that.I gave Symbian (Nokia E61) about a minute with good intentions before I was bored.I loved my BlackBerry for years feel like they are old school now.I would never use AT&T again, so the iPhone is out love my iPod Touch though.Having just gotten my first Android device, I can honestly say that while I am very impressed with the OS and its capabilities, I long to understand some of the things left out of ANY of these operating systems.

Android :: Way To See Diff On File Between Two Different Releases?

Mar 9, 2010

It would be really nice if there is some easy way to see what have changed in a certain class (or other file) between two releases (1.6 & 2.1 for example). Does anyone know how to do this?A way to do it online would be great but downloading the code and checking offline would be ok as well.

Android : Google Releases App Inventor

Jul 12, 2010

App Inventor for Android is an application originally provided by Google, and now maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

It allows anyone familiar with computer programming to create software applications for the Android operating system (OS). It uses a graphical interface, very similar to Scratch and the StarLogo TNG user interface, that allows users to drag-and-drop visual objects to create an application that can run on the Android system, which runs on many mobile devices.

The application was made available through request on July 12, 2010, and released publicly on December 15, 2010. Google terminated App Inventor on December 31, 2011. The MIT Center for Mobile Learning is now supporting it under the name "MIT App Inventor".

Android :: Strategy For WCF Server With Net Clients?

Apr 15, 2010

I am using WCF to write a server that should be able to communicate with .Net clients, Android clients and possibly other types of clients. The main type of client is a desktop application that will be written in .Net. This client will usually be on the same intranet as the server. It will make an initial call to the server to get the current state of the system and will then receive updates from the server whenever a value changes. These updates are frequent, perhaps once a second. The Android clients will connect over the Internet. This client is also interested in updates, but it is not as critical as for the desktop client so a (less frequent) polling scenario might be acceptable.

All clients will have to login to use the services, and when connecting over the Internet the connection should be secure. I am familiar with WCF but I am not sure what bindings are most appropriate for the scenario and what security solution to use. Also, I have not used Android, but I would like to make it as simple as possible for the person implementing the Android client to consume my services. So, what is my strategy?

Android :: How To Navigate Phone SDK Documentation Online For Multiple Releases?

Apr 18, 2009

Going forward will Android maintain the sites for multiple SDKs that might be in use. For example at this very moment there may development teams that are working on 1.0, 1.1 and possibly 1.5. If the main site carries documentation only for 1.1 (current release) will Android make an effort to make the documentation available online for both 1.1 and 1.5 simultaneously when 1.5 is released? Or the online docs only reflect the current release?

Android :: Switch Image Of An ImageButton When User Releases Button?

Feb 7, 2010

I'm trying to make it so that as long as a user is touching the button, it shows one image, and when the user releases the button, it goes back to a default image.

I'm trying to use a selector to make this happen:

CODE:...............

I've tried a few things with the selector, but it always produces the same behavior: the button starts out with the default image, then I press it and it changes to the "record_on" image and it never goes back to the default image when I let go.

Is there a way to get this kind of behavior with an ImageButton, or should I be using something different?

Android :: Sprint Plan Savings Strategy

Sep 8, 2010

I have two EVO's, and I'm on the absolutely unlimited everything plan for both phones, which means that on a monthly basis Now, if I moved down to unlimited everything plan except for calls to landlines, I could save a lot. As I understand that plan, all calls to any cell phone are unlimited, but I would have a minutes cap on land line calls during the day on weekdays. So, can I use some kind of App to make land line calls during the day on weekdays and avoid the charge to my limited land line minutes? I would want an App that allows calls to be received and placed. I think there is an App for that, but it requires a new number to be registered?

Android :: Any Benefit In Centralized Contact Strategy?

Jul 8, 2010

I know that Android will help merge/link duplicates, but I keep wondering if I should consolidate my contact management in one place. That is your contact management strategy? Centralized? Distributed? Where do you keep your contacts? My gut is telling me to keep them all in MS-Exchange, and delete all contacts in the other places, and just keep them updated in MS-Exchange... At the same time, since Android is a Google based phone, perhaps consolidating in Google/Gmail is the right answer...

Game :: Best Strategy To Implement This Behavior In Android App?

Jul 2, 2010

In my Android app, I have some data that needs to be synced daily but also needs to be updated every hour when a user is inside the app. I have already implemented a service that gets called from an alarm for the daily update. I'm having a problem with developing a strategy to do the hourly sync. I could use an hourly alarm too and fire the same intent, but since your app can be killed at any time, there would be no way to cancel it (and since they use the same Intent, doing a cancel would cancel ALL alarms including my daily sync, so that's probably not good). The other option is to use a Timer that's set when inside the app, and have that fire my Intent when inside the app. I'm assuming all Timers get canceled when an app is killed right? But my app consists of several activities and I want the timer to work across all activities, how do I do that? I dont want to duplicate code - we're already using a subclass for Activity and ListActivity.

Android :: Just In Section - Only Viable Strategy For New Application?

Sep 3, 2010

So I've recently released an application on to the Android Market. Whilst it was in the "Just In" section I was seeing decent download numbers, but since then interest seems to have dropped off significantly. I think now people can only find my app through a specific keyword search, which doesn't make me particularly confident about it ever becoming popular.

What can you do when your app has passed the 'Just In' stage but has not reached the 'Featured' stage? The majority of applications seem to be in this middle stage so I think other people must have a similar problem. It seems like the 'Featured' section just makes the popular apps more popular, and makes it really difficult for newer apps to ever catch up with them. Does anyone know if the situation with the Apple App Store is any different?

It seems to be possible to refresh your app and make it appear in the 'Just In' section again if you update it sometime after, but I can't find any real guidelines on this. Is anyone familiar with the specific rules for this, and is repeatedly riding the 'Just In' buzz the only viable strategy for a new app?

HTC EVO 4G :: When Releases Froyo Update?

Jun 17, 2010

I'm a newbie to the android world and had a question about when HTC releases the Froyo update.I rooted my Evo and installed a ROM and am grateful for all the tutorials available on this and other sites.So, I was wondering, when a version of Froyo is released for the EVO with everything working (camera, etc), will it be able to be installed as ROM or will we have to install everything from scratch and root again.I undersand that HTC will not release a ROM, but I was wondering if once they do release it, can one person put on a phone, root it, optimize it, and then distribute it as a ROM or do we all have to start from scratch again?

Our application deals with Android Calendar. Does anyone have idea about as to how we can span across the various handsets, is there a way where we can give types of handsets supported, or MARKET can handle it on its own?

Android :: Strategy To Distribute Application Without Putting On Market

Nov 24, 2010

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

Android :: Game Engine Deployment Strategy For Phone?

Apr 15, 2010

In college, my senior project was to create a simple 2D game engine complete with a scripting language which compiled to bytecode, which was interpreted. For fun, I'd like to port the engine to android. I'm new to android development, so I'm not sure which way to go as far as deploying the engine on the phone. The easiest way I suppose would be to require the engine/interpreter to be bundled with every game that uses it. This solves any versioning issues. There are two problems with this. One: this makes each game app larger and two: I originally released the engine under the LGPL license (unfortunately), but this deployment strategy makes it difficult to conform to the rules of that license, particularly with respect to allowing users to replace the lib easily with another version. So, my other option is to somehow have the engine stand alone as an Activity or service that somehow responds to intents raised by game apps, and somehow give the engine app permissions to read the scripts and other assets to "run" the game. The user could then be able to replace the engine app with a different version (possibly one they made themselves). Is this even possible? What would you recommend? How could I handle it in a secure way?

Game :: Android A Synchronous Service Calls Strategy

Sep 29, 2009

Client makes remote call to the service (returns void) and provides a callback object Service executes some long running logic on the background thread and then uses callback object to trigger ether success or failure which (since these manipulate visual elements) The scenario runs fine. The question is - can I use AsyncTask to make code less verbose (how?) and would be there any advantages in doing it
that way Or should I just get away from client callbacks alltogether and execute remote service calls retrofitted to return some value.

Android :: Using Activity Lifecycle Methods / What's Best Strategy For Binding?

Sep 15, 2010

I'm binding to a local Service (that is, not using IPC and AIDL) from several activities. I want to ensure that I'm not holding references to this service from activities that the user isn't using. My options are: 1.) to bind to the service in onCreate() and unbind in onDestroy(). 2.) bind in onStart() and unbind in onStop(). 3.) bind in onResume() and unbind in `onPause(). Or some combination of these. Which is the best-practice way of binding and unbinding to a local service? Do I not need to be concerned with holding local connections from stopped activities? Additionally, once bound to this particular service I am retrieving a Cursor which is attached to my ListActivity via a CursorAdapter. The data retrieved by the Cursor may have changed while the Activity was out of view so I want to requery it when the Activity is shown again. If I bind in onCreate() I can requery in onRestart(). If I bind in onResume() each time the data will be fresh because I'll query it in the Service's connected callback.

Android :: Strategy For Installing Large Applications On Archos 5 Tablet

Nov 14, 2009

I have an app which has a download size of about 7MB and an installed/ configured size of about 25MB. So far, I've been handling this by using the SD card for the baulk of the data. This works fine although the installation process is a little cumbersome. I notice the smallest of the Archos 5 tablets is 8GB.

Can someone confirm whether this is all part of the internal memory? In other words, can /data/data/com.mypackage fill this memory (potentially). If so, does this mean there is a good chance that getExternalStorageDirectory() will quite often return null? Because people will have less need to use an external SD card.

Is there a way to find in a HTML page, perhaps with javascript, where the visible section is?

Motorola Droid :: HTC Releases Its Own Widgets On Market?

Dec 17, 2009

HTC debuts widgets for Sense-equipped Android phones -- Engadget.Engadget-"HTC was already in the Android software game by virtue of the fact that it drops a fully-customized UI and widget suite on some of its models, but this is new: they've migrated over to the Market. Now, what'd be insanely awesome here is if you could, say, buy Sense for $9.99 and install it on any Android device, but yeah, not so much -- what we've actually got here is a four-pack of free widgets that are compatible with the Hero and Droid Eris. Dice, Today in History, Tip Calculator, and Battery are each downloadable individually; none are particularly exciting or different than what's already available in the Market, but they've all got that famous HTC high style and the exclusivity of knowing that Motorola, Acer, Samsung, and Huawei riffraff can't use them. All four are available now."

HTC Incredible :: What's Best Strategy To Get This Phone?

And after reading other forums people are having a ton of problems with finding when their orders will arrive, canceling credit card billing, etc. So next week I'm coming home from school, my current phone is broken, and I need a new phone before I start a new job on the week of the 24th. If I went into one of my four local Verizon stores on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, what are some tips to get the phone in-store? Are there any chances of finding one or advice you guys could offer on getting employees to pull strings?

Motorola Droid :: When VZW Releases Software Update How Will That Work / Will It Be OTA?

Jan 5, 2010

I don't have my Droid yet but I have two questions:

1) When VZW releases the software update (I'm hearing 1/22?), how will that work? Will it be OTA? Will you need to back up your phone before you update? Will you lose any info/data? (I'm planning on picking up my Droid this week, so what I'm getting at is this: Would it make my life easier if I just wait until 1/22 and buy it with the update already installed?)

2) Now that we can expect Android 2.1 in the coming months, how does a full OS upgrade on the Droid work? OTA? Will you need to back up your phone before you update? Will you lose any info/data?

(FWIW, I'm coming from Blackberry-land and when you upgrade your OS on a BB, you need to backup everything on your phone because when you install the new OS, you essentially start from scratch. I've never actually done it firsthand because it seems like a royal pain in the rearend.)
