Guys I wanted to know what are the open-source tools other than the ones provided by android you are using.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make my application (compiled against 2.1) compatible with the 1.5 platform. I've handled all of the res/ folder issues, and have been able to run the app on all platforms without problems. I can run it fine on all emulators, and all devices/OS systems running 1.6 or higher. But on the only 1.5 device I have (HTC Hero), I get intermittent problems.
The only 1.5 device I have is an HTC Hero phone I got free at the Sprint developer conference a few months ago. When I test the app on that device, I have occasionally encountered a bug I've not seen anywhere, and can't find any information about.
I can install the application via the adb install command (although I get two messages about unknown commands), but after installing the app, the icon can disappear from the home screen, replaced either with a different icon or no icon.
When the app is launched in this state, rather than seeing my application name in the title bar, it reads "60.0dip". I don't use this value anywhere in my application.
I have never observed this problem on any other phone I've tested on (G1, myTouch, two Motorola Droids, Nexus One), but as I said I've only got one device running 1.5.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like some feedback from your experiences on the best option to test GPS based applications. I've been developing apps and in the middle of this will have to ship out to Afghanistan for a 1 year tour. Perfect opportunity to concentrate on the apps in the down-time (nothing to do stuck on a base most of the time in a 10x15 shippping container). This is bad (with bad being a relative term) from the standpoint that there are no "data" plans in Afghanistan for GSM phones. I can get GSM service but no "data" plans. If i buy a Android OS phone I'm concerned about how I can update it with new firmware and load apps. I will have wifi access, but from what I've read this will not enable a "push" of the new firmware update to the phone as if I was with T-Mobile. Any suggestions on what phone i should buy and how to "test' my applications where I can update my firmware and load my apps onto the phone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is the easiest way to create some kind of test harness for Android apps and to be able to visualize (even on the emulator) what is going into the db? I want to test things like constraints, look at the data, unit test methods, etc. Is there any kind of GUI tool that I can hook up to the emulator to be able to look at the db of a particular app while I'm developing/testing, or are my only options the adb shell and creating test Activities within my app?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been exploring the Android test package and I'm very confused on how to implement functional testing for endpoint-to-endpoint.
Consider the example below, I have 4 activities: 1. A Contact List Activity 2. A View Contact Activity 3. An Add/Edit Contact Activity 4. A Sync Contact List activity
I want to automate a few tests that will go through multiple test cases simulating a user experience: From launching the application, to selecting 'Add contact;' opening the add contact activity, entering data, saving it, going back to the list activity, and verifying the new contact was saved properly.
As I understand it, ActivityInstrumentationTestCase<T extends Activity> and ActivityUnitTestCase<T extends Activity>, are only useful for testing single activity functionality.
But what if I need to switch between 2 or more activities inside a single functional test case?
Is there any documentation on the Dev Tools app that is incorporated into the AVDs?

At the moment I have both the base strings.xml and the localised version opened parallel in Eclipse. This quite works, but I am thinking of the following tools: - Showing both (or more) versions of a key together - Showing missing keys in a version - Integrating a lookup service (Google Translate, Wikipedia). I didn't find anything like this, is such a tool available?

I'm still pretty new to Android and programming in general, and I can't seem to get the command line tools packaged with the Android SDK to work. I'm running Mac OSX and each time I try to run layoutopt, for example, the terminal returns, *-bash: cmd: command not found. Also, is it okay to have my SDK located in the Developer directory and my android project in some unrelated directory when using these tools?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have much experience with Java, and am quickly getting to grips with Android. But I have very little experience with graphics... most of my work has been logical, back end web development. The last time I did any proper screen drawing was in the good old days of Applets (years ago).
I can see that Android has a very complex graphical interface, but I don't know where to start. I've looked at some of the sample apps that come with the SDK, but it's slow progress.
For example, I'm trying to learn by developing a simple rolling ball. Currently I'm using onDraw(Canvas canvas), a paint object, and path.addCircle() to draw a circle, which I then update frequently. However the result is jerky, and slow - I want to see it flying around the screen! Clearly this isn't the right way to go about it.
So two questions I suppose: 1) What graphics tools would you recommend to implement my example? 2) Where can I learn more about the graphics capabilities of android?
How can I integrate into the Android SDK tools to do for example: 1) See a list of installed devices 2) Start a new device to run 3) See a list of devices started 4) Install my application (uninstall before install). I got this from the command line but want to use it from an application.

(2) Also, the characters I type are not being displayed properly. For example, typing "cd" (for change directory), shows "^P".

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been looking around for tools for working with MIDI to create soundfonts, but the one mentioned in the Android JET docs (Awave) is a bit pricey for me. Tried Vienna Soundfont Studio but it quickly told me that I have "no soundfont compatible device" on my laptop. Since I'm coming from a GBA/DS homebrew background, my current solution is using the tracker formats (MOD,XM,IT, etc.) and building libmodplug with the NDK. It allows me to bring the size of the 12 music files in my game down from about 15MB (ogg) to 750KB (mod,xm + libmodplug.so size). Anyway, just wondering how other game developers are handling music and what tools you're using. You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
