View 3 RepliesI'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

I saw that google includes org.json classes in the API but haven't tested them yet.
How are your experiences? What library/API should I use and why?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo my I randomly got a notification tonight saying my SD card was corrupted. My Eris told me I had to format it, so I tried through my phone, and nothing happened. When I connected it to the computer, I tried formatting it through there and when I click on format (Using Windows 7 32-bit), it tells me there is no drive at drive F: Does anyone have any ideas? I used to have a microSD converter so I could use it in a card reader but I don't know where its gone too, and don't know if it would help anyways.

I'd like to completely format my SD card and factory reset and start over. Is there anything necessary on the card that I need to keep (besides my personal data)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had mounted my sd card to transfer files between pc (XP) and eris.
i correctly unmounted from pc (safely remove hardware) and then stopped file sharing on eris.
i took the card out and put in a different one (i don't have a card reader and was trying to transfer some stuff).
when i tried to put the original card back in, my finger slipped as i was pushing it in and it got like halfway in and then popped back out.
the eris saw this as an unsafe removal.
now, it keeps telling me "the sd card is blank or using an unsupported .." something. if i tap on the notification, it just takes to me a window to format it. i keep saying yes to format, but it never formats.
i've tried formatting from settings and tried mounting it again and formatting from the pc. when i do that, the pc says that the drive size is 1.08 TB (?!?!?). this is the 8GB sd card that comes with the eris. and it also won't let me format.
what gives? i've tried taking it out and putting it back in. it keeps saying unsafe removal but the option to unmount is grayed out and i can't choose it.
i tried taking it out, turning off the eris, putting the card in and turning back on. still nothing.
what's going on here?
I'm running the latest Cyanogenmod froyo and I need to format my SD card. I have about 2 GB worth of unaccounted for space I need. When I go into SD card in settings the Format SD Card option is greyed out. I checked the apps installed on my SD card and there are none.

x input from user
y input from user
z input from user
a output from program
a = ((x *y) / z);
a = a * 1000;
this works but is not formatted:
TextView.setText(String,valueOf(a));
so if x = 1, y = 2, and z = 12;
a will = 166.666667
I want to be able to format 'a';I want to be able to format 'TextView.setText(String,valueOf(a)); so 'a' will be displayed as 166.66 or 166.67 as the case may be in a TextView. or even 166.667 .

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having three strings that I have to glue together.
I have an input string (string 1), which I have to run a regex (which has groups) on (string 2) and extract these groups to put them in a template (string 3) using backreferences.
A short example could be :
input: "foo1234bar5678"
regex: ".*?(d*).*?(d*).*"
template: "answer: $1 $2"
which should be expanded in "answer: 1234 5678".
I have been using java.util.regex.Pattern, but I can't figure out a way to do this with matchers. Obviously, replaceAll is not the expected behaviour, nor is append*.
Is there a way to do this nicely using the android API ?
EDIT:
Here is a basic implementation :
public static String genOutput(String regex, String input, String template) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regex);
Matcher m = p.matcher(input);
if (m.find()) {
for (int i = 1; i <= m.groupCount(); i++) {
template = template.replaceAll("$" + i, m.group(in}} return template;}
Call me a newbie, but does Android store any critical data on the SD card? Just did a factory reset on my Sprint Hero in preparation for giving the phone to a family member, & I'd like to give them the phone with a clean slate on the SD card as well as the phone. How Can I safely format SD card?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to format it on my laptop via adapter, by right clicking SD Card F: going to format, selecting FAT32, checking the quick format box, and pressing start but whenever I place it back in my phone, it won't mount. It says it's damaged. I had the same problem when I first purchased the sd card but found a link online that showed me how to format it a different way,in another location, which worked perfectly. I recently removed the sd card for something though and encountered this same problem but am unable to find that same link. It's driving me nuts! I had to import everything to my laptop to make sure I didn't lose it all.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEverytime I start my phone up it says the SD card is or has unsupported filesystem. When you click on it.. it asks to format... you click "format" and then the phone just freezes. If I receive a picture in a txt and I click on it, the phone freezes. When I plug my phone into the computer through the USB cable, mount, and try to format it through the computer it says windows is unable to complete the format. I've reset the phone to factory reset also, no luck.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a program I used on my Hero (Android 1.5) that worked great.. All it did, was the following:
Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.DATE_FORMAT, "dd.MM.yyyy");
This does not work on my Nexus One, why? If I call Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.DATE_FORMAT); it tells me that the format is "dd.MM.yyyy" but none of the programs displays the date format like that...
What am I missing? Is this not possible with Android 2.1? Or is there a different way?
Or just taken out and stuck in the phone?

It is actually 31.7gb according to my laptop. when i put it in my desire, it will not see it, or just tells me that the sd card needs formatting, then won't format it. Is this because the card is too slow,or is it an OS problem,that will be resolved when Froyo is released?
