I am creating an Android library that does stuff like http requests, etc, that uses android.jar objects. There will be no manifest or resources, etc, however. What is the best practice regarding the JUnit library to use in this library? DO I use standard JUnit, or the one included in android.jar?

There is an option to create an Android JUnit Project.As far as I am aware the other way is to create a folder in the same project called test which contains the same package name as the existing project.What are the differences between these two methods.

I come from an ASP.NET / Silverlight background so I was looking for something along the lines of controls.
I want to reuse a layout (a ListView item template) in other layouts.
Such that in my other layouts I can just add <myListItem /> to show it.
Is this, or anything like it possible? or are there better ways?
Is there a library, as it were, of Droid Apps? A place you can look while at your computer to see what the "thousands" of Droid apps are? Apparently Droid Market is only really accessible from your Droid device, which I don't have yet.
So, is anyone maintaining a more or less complete listing and description of all or most of the Droid Apps?
I have developed some reusable android component which is basically a class . This class has some resource dependencies e.g. some png drawables, some xml layouts etc. So this class referenced the auto-generated R file.I would like to distribute this code in a single package like jar file to other developers for use in their applications.I have read that the only possible solution is to distribute code together with all my resources, which others have to copy to their "res" folder (source).So I created a jar file having the class file (say MyClass which is in the package com.xyz.android.app) and resources and tried to use this in my new application.So I added the jar file to my new applications build path using add external jars option in eclipse and copied all the resources to my new application's res folder. (The activity class say MainActivity of my new application is in com.abc.myapplication package, just for the case if it may helpful)
But when I run this new application there is java.lang.ClassCastException in the MyClass class. I tried to debug the application and then I found that in the MyClass class, there is "R cannot be resolved" problem. Then I changed MainActivity's package to com.xyz.android.app (which is not the way, other developers will be happy to do), But again the same problem.But When I just copy the source java file such that both Main Activity.java and MyClass.java are in com.xyz.android.app package then application runs fine.So if I need to distribute such that other users need not to bother these package naming things,how can I accomplish this?
As there is JUnit test tool for Desktop Java is there some thing similar in android so one can apply on android also.

I need a very simple menu which probably contains only one or two items: settings/options, where pressing one of them should show some customer defined parameters (is it called dialog), e.g., number of results shown. Is there any good tutorial on creating such kind of menus? I've looked at the "notepad" example in android, it doesn't really help.

There's a large chunk of apps on the market that are free, with ads. Users can pay for an "unlocker" app to remove ads in the "free" app, presumably by doing a check on whether or not the unlocker app package is installed.
If LVL is verified intermittently on a paid app, is it useless for these unlocker apps? Presumably a user would never run the unlocker app, so how would LVL even check the authenticity?
I have an Android library project that makes calls to PreferencesManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences.
I have 2 version of my app, paid/free, and they are not able to access the preferences stored by the library code.
Can someone tell me the right way to store values in SharedPreferences in library code and have the values available to projects that include the library?
According to this SDK guide, unit-testing a Library project can be achieved by creating a standard application project, reference the Library project and then instrument the application for unit testing. However, when I do this and launch the test application I get the message.No tests found with test runner 'JUnit 3".I'm using Eclipse and the Android ADT plugin, all latest versions.the projects compile just fine. The test project also installs fine to the emulator. But in the console I can see that it looks for <library>.apk, which of course doesn't exist since I'm compiling this as a library into the test project.

I have ~ 20 apps and, if necessary, I don't really mind re-installing them all when I get the S4. But is there an app that I can install on my current S3 that will back them up (like iTunes with the iPhone), and re-install them on any new Android phone?
Also, I will be getting a 64 gb card for my new S4. I have 55 gb in my iTunes library on my PC and I have never before imported them to an Android phone. Is there also an app that will let me do this, and keep my only playlist (3500 songs)?
I was wondering how everyone re-uses android layouts and components? Do you do the old copy/paste the existing code into the project, or is there a way to include the layouts and components into a jar file for re-use? For example if I have a list view, maybe I have another view that I am using for each list item in the listview, it could have an icon, and maybe a header row, and then a row with more details. While it is not hard to create this, it would be nice to be able to create this once generically and re-use it in different projects.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAs I understand, the three ways of distributing my application are via Jar, Android Library and Android Library Project.Jar - cannot contain resources or XML layouts (so this is out for me)Android Library - I don't really know how this works but the Google API uses it..Android Library Project - includes resources but allows the client free rein on the code as it is distributed as source.If I am to create a closed source application that requires drawables and XML files that I want to distribute to other Android programmers, what should I use? And can someone direct me to a tutorial on creating an Android Library?

When I use HttpClient classes, my JUnit tests fail with errors like: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/HttpClient.
I run my tests in Eclipse as "JUnit Tests" (not "Android JUnit Tests") with the "Android Test Launcher". An idea about how to resolve this problem?
Been slowly building my app and now JUnit is crashing regularly with logcat as below.
There are no other real hints. No relevant code as this can happen at multiple points of the code. There are no other errors or exceptions thrown. As far as I can tell there is plenty of memory left and my app does not appear to have any leaks I can find during a run outside of JUnit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter following some instructions on Diego Torres blog I am able to test my classes using the regular Eclipse JUnit test-runner, however I also want to be able to run my unit tests from within the emulated android environment.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt appears that Android supports JUnit 3 out of the box.�However, I have some pre-existing JUnit 4 unit tests that I'd like to try on Android. I've tried adding the JUnit 4 jar to eclipse and compiling/ running the tests by pointing a standard JUnit run against them, but nothing seems to happen.�There's no evidence in the eclipse console or the Android emulator that any tests have been run.
Can anyone with knowledge about this subject comment?�Is it even possible to run JUnit 4 tests under Android, and if so, is there a step-by-step explanation as to how to achieve this (preferably under Jetbrains IDEA IDE, and/or Eclipse).
The problem is, that I wanted to write a JUnit-Test for some of my classes - but this stupid Anroid SDK does always lauch this absolutely lame AVD!
So I came up with the idea to move all my non-Android related classes out of the actual Android project into standard Java project. There I can easily test my classes and by adding this standard Java project to the BuildPath of the Android project, I can easily access and use my classes: no error is shown in the IDE - everything is fine.
But if I launch my full application in the AVD, it exits with following exception: NoClassDefFoundError!
I found out, how to run a normal test from an Android project. But why is it not possible to reference to a non-Android project? Regarding code reuse, this is really big disadvantage!
