I want to release a demo version of my app. I added a restriction that the app could only be used 5 times by storing a counter in the db. However a user can easily uninstall and install the demo again! What the best way to manage this?

What is the recommended way of creating a demo version for an application. Basically, the demo version will be fully functional, but will be limited to running it 25 times. My worry is that if the user uninstalls and reinstalls, the count will be reset. I thought about writing a data file to the SD Card with the count of executions (hoping that would persist after uninstall), but I do not want to add that permission if I can avoid it. Any suggestions on how to have some type of demo flag persist after an uninstall?

Since I also want to start selling the game to the android market asap, I want to know if is it possible to make a free demo version of the game to be used for the contest and a full paid version that is available to users that want to buy it before the contest has finished. Is it a violation of TOS or it can be done at my own risk (because the demo valued by judges is not the complete version?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a paid app in the market place, we would like to release a demo of the paid app. I was hoping we could just recompile w/ the same package name, but apparently that does not work. I have tried manually changing package name etc, but it is a chore, and it seems that several things that automatically happen in eclipse cause more harm than good when renaming the package name. Which brings me to my next question. If having a new package name is the only way to accomplish this. Is there an easy way to fork the paid app, where keeping the changes synchronized is easier? Some kind of Source Control?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using Take5 for quite awhile now; however, recently, I decided to flash to the official 1.6 OTA release just out of curiosity. After playing around with it for a little while, I decided to flash back to Take5 (because I missed having root and I really don't like TouchWiz). After flashing back to Take5, I noticed that my baseband was still the new one (T939UVJE2) and I thought to myself, alright I got the new baseband out of this. Anyways, on to Swype... The official 1.6 OTA release includes a newer version of Swype than Take5. Upon testing it, I found it to work a little better than the one in Take5 (slightly more accurate and a little faster). Could someone please send me the new version of the swype apk that's included in 1.6 OTA release?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to release an app on the market. It uses nothing new from the 2.0 release like bluetooth for instance and it works well in every emulator using version 1.6 to 2.1.My question is upon version of the sdk should I distribute my application to make it compatible with all devices running 1.6, 2.0 or 2.1?I only have a physical device running 1.6 to test it, but as I say, it uses nothing fancy and works well on emulators using API levels 4, 5, 6 or 7.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had thought that the "Lite" version of SlideIT was nagware -- that you could use it for free as long as you were willing to put up with occasional interrupts by a pop-up asking you to buy the full version. That turns out not to be the case: the "Lite" version is actually a "demo" version that stops working after a while (apparently a week, if I have my dates straight).
Apart from the fact that it's deceptive advertising to promote a time-limited demo as a "Lite" version, the full version is still not available for purchase in the market.
I am studying RemoteService example in Android's APISample. In the manifest file, it declares the service like this: My question is how can I specify the service to be 'auto-start', i.e. it gets start whenever the phone start?
<service android:name=".app.RemoteService" android:process=":remote" >
<intent-filter>
<!-- These are the interfaces supported by the service, which
you can bind to. -->
<action
android:name="com.example.android.apis.app.IRemoteService" />
I like to create multiple alarms, but i does not work. how to set and how to request in my receiver what alarm intent came activated.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created what I believe is a relatively useful color picker, derived and massively extended from the ColorPickDialog example in the API Demos. If anyone would like to try it out, it is available on the Market at Applications/Tools/UberColorPicker Demo". It didn't put it in the Demo section because it isn't a demo in the sense of being a free teaser of a nonfree product, if you see my meaning. If you like it, you can download the source from http://keithwiley.com/Downloads/AndroidUberColorPickerDemo.zip. Feel free to drop it -- ready-to-go and unmodified - into your own apps (I use it for setting text color preferences in Shead Spreet)...or to hack, extend, and change it however you see fit.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to perform live demos of an app I've been working at conferences. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to get a video feed of what's going on onscreen onto a big screen. We've hooked up the screen capture utility of DDMS and keep hitting refresh. Its not ideal. I'm aware that there are more automatic solutions that continuously cause a refresh, but these don't really provide video, and I'd also like an audio feed. I can frame grab within my app pro grammatically, but the Android SDK's video encoder only supports capturing video feed from the camera. Any ideas? What's the best way to live demo Android apps to large audiences?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis comes up because I am changing the model for my freed and paid apps. Besides all the other things I need to figure out to build this (I'm trying the library method), I'd like to transfer preferences smoothly from DEMO app to paid App. I'm sure that some of you are old hands at this and can give some advice. I've tried the Demo and License, where a license app will unlock the Demo app and make it full.
The Market users can't handle that. My customers didn't want to have two app icons once they installed the license. So I made it invisible. Now I have users that say they can't "open" the license after purchase. It states very clearly in the app description that they need to install the free version first, but I've discovered that not everyone reads that vast 325 character description before buying even some of the most expensive apps on the Market.
I've decided not to fight it. I do believe that customers will be more happy overall and there will be less refunds, if they do try the demo app first. It gives them 16 days to try instead of 24 hours to get a refund. But I'm not going to force that. So, I'll be going down the Demo and Full model route. Just as an aside, I really wish the market would support time limited trials. There is difference between real support and faking it as I have been.

Can anybody suggest a good way of having 2 or more projects that share most of the code?

I basically want the Moto Droid lock screen on my EVO for the slide to toggle sound on/off feature due to the lack of an external switch on the EVO. Would I be best to get the paid version or will the free version do that?

(http:// developer.android.com/resources/samples/SampleSyncAdapter/index.html).
The main entry point for the SampleSyncAdapter appears to be the onPerformSync(...) method. In the documentation page for the sample, it mentions that "[onPerformSync]...gets called whenever the sync manager issues a sync operation for that sync adapter." Who is this 'sync manager', and at what intervals will it instruct the sync adapter to onPerformSync()?
