I find there was many discussions about the Style Guide when Android was still in Beta and RC. Now Android 1.0 has been released. The new release cupcake also went out. I am curious about whether Google has a plan to release a Style Guide for Android app development.

I downloaded this app earlier today and my phone has been running slow every since. I checked to see what has been using all my memory and was surprised to see the TV Guide app running. I closed it and my phone ran great again. Checked the battery usage to see it used almost 5% of my battery. The one problem? I NEVER EVEN USED IT YET. Anyone else have a similar issue with this app on the Droid?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tend to believe that developing mobile applications in an enterprise environment is best suited by developing intranet web applications. That said I have been asked to think about whether there are specific enterprise applications that could only be accomplished or would be more successful as native applications. I am curious as to what the Stack Overflow community thinks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFirst and foremost, are there many android developers here? Is this a good place for Android related discussions?I seem to be missing a rather large concept of Android development. The gist is I am struggling understanding how to tie an application together. I'm not sure how to explain it, so I thought I would do my best with an example from the Android ApiDemo... assuming you are familiar with it.
Inside the com.example.android.apis.view namespace of the ApiDemo, there is a class called Animation3.java.Animation3 inherits the activity class and there is some code inside to display animation.I can't find a reference to the class (Animation3) anywhere in the demo code (except for its definition obviously). The only mention I found is in the manifest xml file. So how the heck does this activity get started? Don't we need to create an instance of the class somewhere and fire off a method to start it? I don't understand how to generate the code that ultimately glues this class to the rest of the application.Additionally, what about other classes like views or viewgroups? How do I generate code outside the class that initiates/starts/uses/calls (insert proper term) the class.I would appreciate any code examples as well as any concept explanation or reference documents. So far I've read pages and pages on activities and views but I'm really struggling how to tie things together.
I normally frequent the Nexus One forum, but have had to crawl my way out from there to come ask the wider Android community a question.
I'm about to apply for a mobile application development role and was wondering if any of you guys knew an approximate number of Android users (or point me in the direction of somewhere that might have the info). I was about to write something along the lines of the Android market allowing developers to easily (hum, that's an opinion there! ) share their creations with <insert amount here> Android users around the world, but realized I had no idea.
I'm on developing a twitter kind of Application where in I want that the user would be displayed the timelines and the Textview in the Lists require to perform clicks on (http://)URLs, (@)usernames, and (#)hasTags and I want to invoke custom methods over these actions, I have used the Linkify class and the actions but where of no use because the customization that i require cannot be incorporated.

View 25 Replies View RelatedI am developing droid apps with eclipse (new to both) and have a basic Layout question. When using the layout tab (rather than the coding tab) in my main.xml, I am trying to create a home screen for when my app opens.
There is going to be the logo at the top center, then 3 simple buttons below, all centered. How do I go about formatting the Logo so it maintains a size relative to the person's screen size, and stays in the center?
I don't want to write sloppy code to where my program looks fine (UI wise) on my screen and is poorly formatted on other's screens. Also, is there good documentation explaining all of the Property values in the layout view?
Any View have a constructor public View (Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) which called when View declared with a style attribute So, if I have some class inherited from View class, I can access to declared attributes (like "android:layout_width" or "android:background") via AttributeSet attrs in a constructor. But when I move attributes to style I cannot see attributes and values exists in a style - I want to read items declared in style but I have only styleID in defStyle parameter. Is there some way to read style Items using styleID?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed a custom ROM in my phone.
What I noticed is that the problem is either that my phone drivers can't be installed for some reason (I have a SGS being treated as a Google Nexus S), or I just can't implement applications.I mean that when I try to build an application on Eclipse, my phone is not recognized, like I don't have it plugged in.
I've developed a fairly extensive application. The problem began when I started programming...my spinners are the solid gray rectangular style (unlike the newer style with the triangle in the lower right corner). When I started developing this app several months ago, I couldn't figure out why my spinners were different (after many hours) so I just ignored it. I'm at the point now of polishing my program and want the newer spinner style. So, I'm beating my head against the wall again. I went to my Android SDK Mananger in Eclipse and updated my Android SDK Tools, Platform-tools, and Build-tools. I have the lastest versions of all of these (22.3 and 19.0.1). When I create a new project, the newer spinner style appears. However, none of my older projects changed. They still have the same old gray, rectangular type spinners. I tried using a "android format" line command I found while Googling, but no luck with that either.I'm using ADT Bundle with build v22.2.1-833290 on a Mac OSX Mavericks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA lot of open source libraries that aid in Android application development have sprung up with time. IMO looking at source code of good projects helps learn the system better, faster and not to mention reduces development time. Is there a recommended list of such projects or if not, can we build such a list? I think it will really be useful to other developers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm creating my own View class, and defining custom xml attributes with a attrs.xml. As long as I provide each attribute manually, there is no problem, but
code:...................
The android:text is properly set in my instance, but the borderDrawable is not. I guess this has something to do with namespaces, because inside the styles.xml, the name="mypack:borderDrawable" is not handled by the XML parser's namespace facility, because its inside an attribute value. So "mypack" is in no way connected to "http://some.weird.url.com/seems/not/to/ matter" and adding it via xmlns:mypack... to the stylefile would not help, I guess. In the same file, "android:text" is somehow recognized, even though "android" is AFAIK only a ns-defintion for [url], which is also not declared in that file.
So what is the proper way to set a custom attribute in a style?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIt is a common thing to add a color name and a color RGB value in a config xml file for developing an Android application. It is boring sometimes for example, when I want to add color pink, I had to find some tool to show me what the exact RGB value for it and then fill it in that xml file. Is there a common color file including all common colors for Android application development? I am wondering is there any predefined color file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using the Android documentation for a few days now, and it is quite good and easy to read. Apart from that I noticed that I missed something, and now I found out what it is: Examples and comments.
If you look at the PHP documentation (e.g. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php for the PHP substr() function) you will see many syntax-highlighted examples and comments by users.
Of course there are examples in the Android documentation, especially in the Dev Guide category - they just are not at the right place if one searches the reference for a specific method or functionality. What do you think about this?
I just finished what I hope is the ultimate guide to emulation on Android. I've basically fine-combed the Market and done my best to map out what the Android platform currently has to offer when it comes to retro video game console and home computer emulation. Various Nintendo consoles are covered, of course, as well as Sega, C64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum, TurboGrafx-16 et cetera.
The only emulators I've ignored are those with an average rating below 3. Now to my question: did I miss any good emulators? There might be emulator projects for Android on the web that are not available on the Market? Such as ScummVM, for example, although technically it might not qualify as an emulator. Is there a PlayStation emulator for Android?
Here's the link to the guide if you want to check it out:

I have a weird problem with the hitchhikers guide soundboard app on the market. I have a non rooted HTC Magic (running 1.6 donut) and live in New Zealand. I was able to install an early version of it (1.2) I think. So the app would appear in the "My Downloads" section.In the description of the app, I could then see the app was getting upgraded frequently. But I never got any notification to upgrade. When I then searched for the app, it no longer appeared for me in the market.Its like somehow its been geo restricted, or perhaps no longer compatible with my phone, so it had disappeared for me to download/upgrade. I can even goto the authors website & try installing the app independent of the market, but even then a dialog box pops up saying "Cannot install on this phone".I can see other people are downloading and using it, but am wondering if other people are having any issues finding & installing the app? Perhaps using the HTC Magic?You can search for "hitchhiker" in the Market, or goto the authors site Coulson.mobi
