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.

Android :: Design Strategy - Large HTML In Apps Bookmark Location

Nov 8, 2010

I write Windows/iPhone/Android apps that mostly display large documents (HTML) in an HTML container view. What is a good strategy to determine where in a document the users has scrolled to so that when the app runs again, it goes to that location in the HTML document? ll of my software can 'listen' to javascript. Is there a way to find in a HTML page, perhaps with javascript, where the visible section is?

Motorola Droid X :: Match Up To Archos 5 Tablet With Android

Jun 29, 2010

How does the Moto Droid X match up to the Archos 5 running Android? I've got the Droid and the Archos 5. But bought the Archos mainly as a mp3 player and book reader. My Droid is a great mp3 player but every time it is in my pocket the slider moves and I have to get it out slide the lock and hit play again. Very annoying. Also you get all the notices, such as emails, texts, calendar reminders, etc making thier alarms through the songs. This is why I searched out Archos as a media player. But it really isn't pocketable.

You can but it is large. The Droid X is larger then Droid (4.3 vs 3.7) but still a little smaller than Archos 5". I've done so much research for the last 2 weeks, I'm going silly trying to remember everything and what's what. So has anyone checked both these out and think they are pretty much the same thing only a little smaller screen? Just curious as I'm leaning towards returning Archos and going with Droid X. Hopefully at some time they will make an app that will shut off everything but phone calls while music player is playing.

Motorola Droid :: Tether To Archos 5 Internet Tablet?

Jan 6, 2010

Has anyone been able to do this? USB or Bluetooth DUN? I installed PDAnet on the phone but the Archos won't pair with the Droid. They're both running Android so I thought it might work. The archos has WiFi and bluetooth. I've tried WiFi-net sharing on my Touch Pro 2 but it won't recognize the network?

Android :: Archos 5 Android Tablet / Storage Seem To Point To Same Spot

Nov 22, 2009

Somebody once asked on this list what the ARCHOS 5 Android tablet returns for Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(). The good news: it's not null. The interesting news: it's /storage. The second round of good news: this points to the bulk of the storage space -- on my 32GB flash, /storage is where 30GB of the space resides. The third round of good news: the value remains /storage even after you pop a micro SD card in. I was briefly worried that it might switch to /sdcard or something.

Really curious news: while Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns /storage, /sdcard does exist, and it does *not* point to the SD card. Rather, it and /storage seem to point to the same spot, perhaps via a symlink or hardlink. Upshot: while you should use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), apps that hardwire "/sdcard" won't break when there's no SD card installed.

Android :: Include Large Videos Files In Droid Applications?

Jul 2, 2010

I was wondering if the Android had any limitations that would prevent 300+ MB's worth of videos to be included in the application?

Currently, I have several iPhone apps that do this, and due to demand, I am looking at the possibility of porting them over to the Android.

Android :: Enabling Normal Applications And Handling Large Screens Such As Tablets

Sep 14, 2010

I've been studying the screen support of Android and yes, while it is flexible, I still don't see how you can support a "really large" screen like the Samsung tablet is going to have. I think no matter what you end up with lots of wasted real estate. The problem is the Android doesn't automatically "scale up" your application if you run in compatibility mode - rather, it fits it into a postage stamp instead. Because of this, how can you really make an app that will "never" have some postage stamping at all, unless you use all 9patch drawables and Absolute Layouts? (Well, you could draw the GUI yourself, which is what my Reloop Sequencer does). As an example, my drum machine app, Electrum Drum, has a certain layout for the buttons and pads. Now, on a larger screen, it would be nice to just make all the buttons and pads bigger. I need the same layout relationships between all the elements though. Basically I just want a "scaled" up version of the UI. Maybe I can achieve this with 9patch drawables and relative layouts? The issue is I could certainly make "large" graphical elements (if not use a 9patch drawable) but there is no way for something, for example, to know that hey, I have LOTS of space I can use.

Let's say for example, that you want a completely different layout on a tablet - say you want more buttons, etc, on your layout now. You can't do it because there is no way for the android app to "know" that this "large" screen is actually larger than "large". A Droid X probably reports itself as large, although the screen is only 4.x inches or so, where you would not have room for those extra buttons. This is no where near as large as 7" or 10", even at a pixel density of 170 or 240. I think the default behavior would have been better to scale up images in compatibility mode, and if the dev could provide higher res images then it would use them of course (put them in the large high dpi folders), but I don't see how a layout itself can scale correctly in really large cases like a tablet. We need some better explanation of how to handle these cases. I still don't understand how a normal app is going to be enabled to scale up easily. It would have been easy if Android would have just "magnified" the view, but it doesn't.

Android :: Installing Applications On SD Card

Feb 13, 2009

I hope you guys can implement that in the next android updates. It is really cool that all the applications are free, but the G1 phone doesn't have a lot of on board memory, so please implement the feature to install applications on the SD Card. That is the only comment I have. A lot of people are Jailbreaking their phones just so they can get to that feature. Please consider it. Thank you. One more thing-If you can make it possible to save the browser cache data on the SD card as well will be awesome.

Android :: What's The Status Of Installing A Non Market Applications?

Sep 26, 2010

I understand there are two ways to distribute one's apps: 1) through the Market and 2) directly to the user. Now that my app is in beta, I would like to give it to a few of my users to test. But how? What I read on the web talks about installing SDKs, tweaking with many options and using an auxiliary app; I deem these to be well beyond the ability or patience of my users. Is there an easier way? What's the EASIEST?

It would be best if the user can simply navigate to the link and download it using their android phone. Is this possible? I am trying to figure out how to instruct my users to download and install it painlessly. (taking the SD card out for intermediate installation is not painless and is prohibitively intimidating). this is a keyboard that you need to invoke, twice, after you install it. Once through Settings> Languages and Keyboards, and the second time through tapping and holding on the text field and selecting. Oh and it's called MessagEase-beta

Android :: Installing Applications Via 2D Barcode On PC Screen?

Nov 24, 2009

I just got an Android phone on Sunday and I'm still learning what I'm doing. I found a thread on here for the Android Network Awards, and all of the apps have a 2-D barcode next to them. Clicking on it invokes a "market" protocol. I'm guessing that there may be some way for me to scan this barcode from my phone and install the app. Is that right? Presumably, I could also browse to the page from my phone and click on the "market://..." links, but scanning a barcode to install an app is just cool.

Can someone please tell me how to install apps directly onto the microSD card?

My internal memory is full now and I barely have any apps installed on it yet have about 900 applications I can install so I at least want to put more on!

Android :: On Board Memory For Installing Applications?

Oct 5, 2010

As a soon to be former BB user (and hopeful Android newbie), I know the limitations of decreased On Board Memory (I'm not talking about RAM but rather the memory that apps are stored on). I notice some phones have as much as 8 GB and some high end phones only coming with 2 GB (and after the OS and bloat is installed it gets reduced to 300-400 MB). Is this a concern with an android device. I understand that phones can be rooted and bloat ware removed, but taking that out of the equation, should I be concerned with buying a phone with just 2 GB of On Board memory for apps?

Android :: Installing Applications From Installers - Wheres Installer?

Apr 6, 2009

Couple of really big issues here that SHOULD be no brainers! But, they aren't. Anyone know what the EXACT name of an application installer on the Market that allows me to install appliations from the memory card? I've been looking for a few weeks now. A search for application installers that allow me to install a .apk file from the memory card turn up mentions about "Apps Installer" and "Application Installer", but I can't find anything with that name in the Android Market. Partial name searches like "Installer" turn up NO results. (That's not very "Google Like", now isn't it? The Android Market website, BTW doesn't allow you to search? Is that right? You can only search the Android Market from the phone? I can understand not allowing us to DOWNLOAD from the market to our PC, but not search so I can find the appliation name I want?

General :: Nabi 2 Tablet Google Play Error Insufficient Storage On Installing Apps?

Nov 7, 2012

I'm getting an "insufficient storage" error on installing apps from Google Play (even small 6mb apps). I find if i delete several apps and run it again it works (there is apparently 470MB free despite this).

I've seen references to changing settings so that Google Play installs to the SD card but cant figure out which apply here. And also to clearing the cache for applications (in the TWRP app perhaps?).

I've run the jmz script from the Nabi 2 root thread, but I think I'm missing a step or two (although apps do in fact install, which they wouldn't before).
