Android :: Developing For Devices Other Than Phones?
Feb 22, 2010I am a student at a technical university in Finland, and Im currently working on a thesis about how suitable Android platform is for multimedia devices other than smartphones or mobile handsets. Different manufacturers have been experimenting with Android for a while now, and have installed the platform onto new types of devices such as mobile internet devices (Archos 5), tablets (Vega), and even e-book readers (Barnes & Noble nook). Almost all of these manufacturers are also welcoming Android developers to create applications to go with their devices. Compared to the number of applications on Android Market, however, the manufacturers are still very much in the beginning stages with this. I�m hoping to have some idea about what Android developer communities are thinking about this invitation, and so decided to post a poll about it on a few Android forums. Are you interested in developing applications for these kinds of devices, with larger screens and different capabilities from an average mobile phone? If it�s not too much trouble, I�d also be interested in hearing a few words about why you think it would be a good or bad idea. How would it be different from developing for phones? What sort of problems or possibilities do you think would rise from it?

Android :: Developing Application For Multiple Screen Support?
Mar 6, 2010I want to develop UI of the application which looks similar on all screen sizes. I have gone through the Android developer article regarding this. I am using supports-screen tag but then also the screen is displayed not displayed properly in the larger screens. The screen is displayed properly in HVGA and not in WVGA.
I have developed the application using Android 1.6 and set the minimum SDK version as 4. The application is running properly on HVGA avd but not on WVGA avd. Can I know the reason for it? Is there any solution for this? I want that the user interface of the application should look uniform in all the handsets.
General :: Developing Web Browser In Eclipse Using WebView
Apr 1, 2013I am developing my own Chrome like Web Browser in Eclipse using WebView, so far its just a TextEdit that act as a url bar, a GO button to take WebView to whatever URL is typed, and of course the WebView showing this website.
1- When i go lets say msn.com, it goes fine but if i click -- news -- , it goes fine too, but the "URL bar" still show msn.com , it doesn't show the current URL im in, so its there a way to write to to the TextEdit or create a real url bar?
2- When i go to YouTube, if i hit play on a video it plays fine on WebView, but if i turn the device sideways, video shows liek to hit play again but you can still hear it in the background, if i hit play it just stop and wont play again any other videos, ( i found the YouTube API player and i followed what supposedly is how to use it but it never worked, i cant really find instructions on how to merge it to the app, supposedly just moved the .jar file but still playing in the browser) or how can i do in webview so when a user press play it ask you want to use browser or you want to launch youtube app, cant manage how to set up in intent for this activity.
Or how can i lunch youtube app from a button on my layout?
3- How to make android , in this case 4.0.4 recognize my app as a browser so whenever any app ask me to launch a browser, mine is on the list.
4- on my case ( galaxy s2 ) in chrome when i press menu, it pop this menu, on my app, menu key pop a little menu with settings only, but nothing happens ( of course ), how can i add items to this main menu, like About, Contact Me, Back , Forward and add stuff in settings too?
5- launch an app from a button on the app.
Android :: Options For Sharing App Data On Multiple Phones
Aug 22, 2010I'm looking for suggestions for ways to share Android app data between phones running the same app. For example, lets say I have an app that stores a database of book reviews. If person A has a book review that person B doesn't have, what are the options for getting that information from person A's phone to person B's phone?
Currently, I'm aware of the following options:
- Upload data from person A's phone to a server, then download data from server to Person B's phone.
- Write code to have the phones sync up using bluetooth
- Write code to send SMS messages
I'm wondering if there are any more options besides these, and if there's actually a best-practice for accomplishing this?
Ideally, I want the users to simply click a button in the app to make the sharing take place, so I don't want to go down the bluetooth route because that requires the user to do a bit of setup (or assumes they already have set things up in the form of bluetooth settings).
Since the data can be of variable length and potentially large, I believe that would rule out text messaging.
As far as the server route goes, from what I understand this seems to be an ok way of doing things, but my problem is that I have no experience with having users potentially sign in to a server and then uploading data. I don't know of the cost concerns (if any), or of potential security concerns (allowing just anyone to upload data, I'm not sure if I would have to take steps to ensure someone couldn't bypass the app and upload malicious data).

View 8 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: AIDL In Multiple Projects In Eclipse
Mar 16, 2010I have problems with the following: I want to create to applications. One with a Android service and one with a Activity that will use functions on the Service. Before I splitted this in to applications I got everything working in one application. I can call functions (that are definned in the aidl - file) on the service without problems.
Now the problems coms. I splitted the application into two parts, a Service application and Gui application. The bindins to the service (in the gui application) works and I see that the service is getting created. Then in the onServiceConnected function of the ServiceConnection class I created the following:
mService = IMyService.Stub.asInterface(service);
And this gives me the following exception:
03-16 13:53:05.549: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(881): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyPackage.IMyService$Stub
It looks like he can't find the Stub class in IMyService. But the Stub is part of the java file generated out of the aidl-file. Why I get this exception or how I can resolve this?
Android :: Android Developing For Tablets Harder Than Developing For IPad?
Apr 17, 2010First of all, I just want to say I am a software developer, but I am not an Android developer. However I usually walk around and think on stuff. AndI've been recently thinking all the news concerning how fragmented Android is getting, with different Android versions and tweaks by different phone manufacturers, and then for developers you have different size formats. An example would be that HTC Tattoo might not be able to run everything that another phone might run, due to different screen formats, etc. And now the Android tablets are coming with different Android versions and different screen sizes, all from 5" to 11". Will this make developing Android applications harder? Apple has it safe here since they manufacturer all devices that run the iPhone OS: the pods, phones and now the pad so they can easily control and make sure not to loose any customers by introducing a new device. When Apple introduced iPad they had to make sure that all the old iPhone applications would work on the iPad. They solved that neatly by saying that iPhone applications will simply be stretched out to the double size and it would fit on the iPad. Unfortunately Android does not have the same luxury to do this. As I said, I am not an Android developer. Just a curious software developer For you guys who work actively in the Android community, does Google have a solution for this? Will you be able to run phone applications on the tablets? Is there a bridge between the devices? Are there any standardizations or will Android development become even more fragmented? you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Debugging In Eclipse / Current Line Wrong For Methods With Multiple Return Points
Apr 2, 2009While doing debugging with Eclipse I noted that the debugger highlights the wrong line as "next line to execute" for methods with multiple return points. It fools the developer that the last line of the method is executed, where in fact it is not.Does anyone know if this is some kind of known issue? My colleagues have also experienced this but we have never seen it when doing on- device-debugging on e.g. the Sony Ericsson SDK.I couldn't find anything at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list There was a similar post in android-beginners 2007-11-25. No replies, though. http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Sync SMS Between Multiple Phones And Tablets?
Nov 29, 2011I'm using multiple android devices, all of them under one phone number (only one plan that includes five separate sim cards). All of the services are available under any individual device, BUT! Text messages (SMS) ONLY arrive at the devices that holds the "primary" or "master" sim card.
What I'd like to have, is the ability to somehow send any arriving messages from the primary device via something (email? im?) that doesn't require them to be in close vicinity (so no wlan/bluetooth). So that it wouldn't matter which device I hold, I'd always receive any incoming text messages and they would be available on all devices. Best would be, if also SENT messages would sync between devices.
Also of note is that the sync should be (almost) instantaneous (as fast as can be achieved via push-gmail or instant messaging). So no scheduled syncs or anything that requires an interval.
Each one of the devices are capable of sending/receiving sms on their own, so no technical barriers exist on that front.
By syncing, I mean that the messages would be available at each device's own "messaging system", NOT just backed up in email or something. (so SMS2Mail of backupsms -style apps are out of the question.)
The devices are running Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.1 and come next year, android 4.0.
I'm going to use:
* Samsung Galaxy Note
* Samsung Galaxy Tab
* Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
* Samsung Galaxy Gio
* Motorola Defy
I've looked into TotalSMS Control, DeskSMS, Phone Control and various other apps, but they all lack some part of what I need. (DeskSMS looked the most promising, but apparently doesn't work on Honeycomb, at least market doesn't show DeskSMS for my Tab 8.9).

Now I tried to create another project in same workspace called mygame. Main class (activity) of mygame is MyGameApp which inherits from EngineApp (main activity of my engine project) which inherits from Activity. I added engine project into required projects in mygame build path tab in properties. Problem is that when I try to run this project it crashes on ClassNotFoundException trying to find my MyGameApp class.

Android :: Developing With Htc Aria
Aug 9, 2010I have a couple of apps working using eclipse and the emulator. I now want to try the apps on my htc aria. I went through downloading the usb driver as the Android Developers documentations sans and a usb driver folder now shows up in my sdk folder. However, apparently there isn't a driver for the HTC aria in the folder.
After research some people suggested using htc sync. I donwloaded htc sync and let windows check that I had the latest version. However, my phone keeps saying that it can't find htc sync on my computer.
When I plug in my HTC aria, the device manager on my lap top recognizes two devices as listed below: My HTc under Android USB devices and a HTC Android Phone USB Device. I clicked on update driver for both devices, Windows found them on-line and verified that they were the latest. I dont understand why there are two drivers, but My HT seems to have a problem as listed below. One thing that I should mention is that I am using the dreaded VISTA.
Device Manager: Android USB Devices: My HTC Device status: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Description: Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 37.
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:
CODE:.................
HTC Android Phone USB Device
Device Status: This device is working normally. Driver Provider: Microsoft Driver Date: 6/21/2006
So, the best I can tell is that there isn't a driver from the normal Android repository for the htc aria yet. And, for some reason my computer can't handle the htc sync drivers.
Will there be a usb driver for the htc aria that I can download from Android Developers in the future? Has anyone else been able to get htc sync to work with the htc aria? Is there anohter way to transfer my apps to the phone for development?
I guess that I can always use the ddms environment and transfer the app, but I really wanted a more graceful way to do this.

Aug 12, 2010I am working on an app that has a homescreen. This homescreen should behave like the android homescreen where you can switch between several views by flinging your finger over the touch screen.
The solution is easy. I have 3 view instances, right, left and current view. I get this instances from the viewflipper that I initialized earlier. Since I have a HTC G1 my sreen is 320 px in width and 480 px in height.
Imagine you capture the down value of a action down motion event when you touch the screen. Then you move your finger and the screen should move in exactly the same way so you have to recalculate the view's position. It works for me so far but I am facing a strange problem. When you touch the right view without moving you finger but keeping it on the screen for less then a second the view disappears and shows the left view.
Here is my code:..........................
I think such a Homescreen for your own app could be a interestion UI element.
