I recently enabled the app2sd functionality in my app.When i test the apk on my NexusOne (2.2) the app goes to the SD card, perfect! But when i publish the app on the market and install the same apk from the market on the same Nexus, the app2sd function is missing, I can't install it to my SD card.

If I build against the 1.5_r3 SDK are there any compatibility issues with running it on devices that are at previous levels of 1.5? I would certainly hope not, but I've learned not to make such assumptions.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to cache my viewgroup to a bitmap and blit this to screen instead of calling dispatchDraw on the group while scrolling for performance reasons. This works quite well on 1.5, but has ugly scaling artefacts on 1.6 and newer for high density screens. Because of my 1.5 compatibility I can't find a way to set the density of my cached bitmap.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to know whether the Android provides any sort of compatibility i.e either forward or backward. It means as in Blackberry if develop an Application with JDE 4.2 then that application will work on any handset with OS 4.2 or higher which means it has forward compatibility. Is there anything similar in Android? Suppose I develop application with Android SDK 1.5 then will that application work on any handset having OS 1.5 or higher.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble getting my app to work properly on older devices. I've ready the "Backward Compatibility" tutorial, I'm working for performance - and it suggestions using .invoke is considerably slower than using a wrapper class. But it seems the wrapper class only works for if a class is not available on older devices. I'm compiling with 2.2, but minSDK is 1.5. I'm working with multitouch, I assumed that if I checked against Build.Version.SDK, and didn't call getPointerCount() - then it wouldn't raise an error. But when I create an instance of the class which has my methods in, I get this: 06-29 08:17:28.263: ERROR/dalvikvm(255): Could not find method android.view.MotionEvent.getPointerCount, referenced from method com.myPackage.myClass. Despite not actually calling it. Is this normal?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know why, but in Eclair, the default (non-fancy) gallery app changed its behavior from the Cupcake version, and it broke one of my commercial applications Firstly, when long-pressing a gallery and choosing "Diashow", it does not publish an Intent to be picked up by any application that implements the Intent filter anymore. Instead, it will directly call "com.android.gallery/com.android.camera.ViewImage" with extras. Question: is it still possible to intercept this intent and allow the user to choose my application to do the Diashow? Secondly, the intent extras for the VIEW intent are messed up (in my build of 2.1 anyway): Instead of providing the BucketId of the picture in the Intent's query parameter. But in 2.1, the BucketId is moved to the Intent's extras. Except; it is not passing the BUCKET_ID, but the unlocalized BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME instead Question: how can I still get the unique BUCKET_ID from the intent, so that I do not have to work with a potentially non-unique BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME.

For instance independent ring tone and notification volumes in 2.3.3 but not in 4.0.3
just installed the official 2.2 update for my htc Desire (2.09.405.8). Cant seem to get any apps to install to the SD card, even ones that are listed that support app2sd, google sky map for example. I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app.Do I have to format / partition the SD card in order for the native froyo app2sd feature to work?When I plug the phone into my PC I get the following folders ".android_secure" but its empty. When go into manage applications, and click on the SD card tab, no apps are displayed. when I click on the downloads tab, and then google sky map the "move to SD card" is greyed out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are a few threads of various Vibrant/TouchWiz Calendar issues (Samsung Galaxy S). I am starting this thread to hopefully get a reply of all the various issues in one spot and maybe someone can get this list somewhere that will drive change. In my mind, a smart-phone's roots is a PDA + Phone. Yes, it is amazing that they can do much, much more now, which makes these phones that much better, but to me, the Calendar is part of their roots. These disappointments that I'm starting with were available in Android 1.5 which makes them all the more frustrating. I am bulleting these instead of numbering them because I'd rank them all at the top. Really, any issue that you are having out there, especially one that is a non-issue in stock Android, is pure neglect by Samsung.
- No ability to customize notifications in the TouchWiz Calendar. Anyone need a reminder ringtone that is different than your other notifications? You won't get one that stands out from the others in your Samsung Vibrant because you have no ability to change it.
-No ability to hyperlink in the TouchWiz Calendar. Let's say I am going to a wedding that is out of town. On my G1 I could enter phone numbers and address to the Hotel, Reception Hall, key contacts, and the like; so all I had to do was go to my trusty calendar and click on a hyperlink to get directions in my map or call people/places via the dialer, oh, and I'd know what time things started because it is a super useful feature in a calendar. Good luck doing this conveniently on the Vibrant's TouchWiz Calendar because it does not have this feature. Maybe the biggest disappointment.
-Repeating Events in the TouchWiz Calendar provokes issues when modifying . If I edit only a single event in a series of repeating events via my web-browser on my laptop, TouchWiz will duplicate the event, keeping the original event, but also creating the changed single event as a new separate event entirely.
I'm sure this is the tip of the iceberg because I've seen a number of posts. . . although I haven't seen any mention of the hyperlinking which I find an enormous help.opefully someone from T-Mobile or Samsung will review and implement asap. In the end, I may return my phone if I have no confidence in these being fixedI'd also love to hear solutions. I've tried all the market calendar apps I could. Gemini, Junte, they provide hyperlinking, but don't fix the duplicatation issue. All other calendar apps ultimately just click through to the native Touchwiz calendar.Given the specs on the current phones out there, these features should be included off the shelf. I've rooted my G1, but one shouldn't have to root to have basic features available to Android such as the above.

I haven't made any separate partition on my SD, for now I'm just going to Settings > Manage applications and clicking "move to SD"...
I've got the android phone mentiond in title. I am looking for a way to move apps to external SD card, I have tried few things but none of them work. In the end,when using Link2Sd app, I get a message:
''App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.''
By the way I have rooted my phone( I guess) using Framaroot app 1.6 (with Gandalf option) and it was succesful, I have Superuser, but I have no idea what to do next.
I'm running Fresh 2.4.0 and I've run out of space on my internal memory (not that many apps, but still less than 20mg free). I'm looking to use App2SD, but the link off the Fresh 2.4.0 XDA site for App2SD FAQ's (FAQ: Apps2sd Information) suggest that I use a Class 6 micro SD card. However, the Sprint HTC Hero website says the phone can only use Class 2 settings.Is there any advantage to spending the extra money and buy a Class 6 card? Is it really necessary to run App2SD? Any insight would be helpful!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI rooted my milestone yet with G.O.T recovery menu, my first question is how this app2sd works? I read somewhere I shouldn't install busybox. (but I installed it) in open recovery menu I have 5 options to choose:
1- split SDCard (will erase all your data on SDCard)
2-Install App2SD
3-Install Boothack Only
4-Install App2SD (symlink edition)
5-Install Boothack Only (symlink edition) "
which one I have to install, or I have to install all of them...
My next question is, as soon as I rooted my milestone successfully I took a nandroid backup from all my phone with the same open recovery menu, but now when I needed to restore my system, it restore only OS files & I don't have my own Launcher & apps to use, can anyone help what should I do?
I also have another old nandroid backup which I took it with my computer, which is (I think) making backup with old nandroid (backup from unrooted system)
so i've been in many roms, custom and stock...and since i know cyanogen i think they have done the ''move aplications to sd'' in every rom. i remember flashing one cm6 once on my x10 mini and see in features: default app2sd in cyanogenmod settings, so i dunno why people keep asking about app2sd or link2sd suport on roms like cm7 or cm9
so...whats the diference between moving an app to sd card from setting and do it froms app2sd?
it is really necesary on gingerbread and ics?
if it so...works better on ext partitions or fat ones?
I've setup the ext3 partition and it does show the symbolic link to the sd card. Also using quickinfo to check the space of the partitions and internal memory. I tested by installing google earth (20meg) and it seems like it does take space from the a2sd partition but also reduces my internal memory space as well. What or why does it do this? I only have about 110 megabytes left.

first of all what is the resizeable attribute? It does not seem to be documented. This is working almost 90% for my game except when testing in WVGA screen resolution, all my images are scaled incorrectly, it is longer vertically than horizontally. I was expecting the screen compatibility to maintain aspect ratios as that of HVGA.
Also in my layout I have a scrollview and it is designed in such a way that in HVGA when it is not scrolled down, the items are hidden away, however now in WVGA those things are shown. If the aspect ratio of HVGA is maintained I won't have this issue. How can I make sure the aspect ratio is maintained? Also in my layout I am positioning some items using pixel positions. Should I convert these to dpi? How do I calculate what dpi they should be?
What is the recommended approach to have currently shipping 1.5-SDK compliant apps to start offering 1.6 features (such as TTL) in the Market? Can we just publish 2 versions of the same package name each compiled with a different SDK level (will the Market automatically push out only the right version of the app) or do we have to use different package name and assume that the user will find a way to understand the version of the OS he has. A public statement to the developper community would be more than welcomed here!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've found again my DevPhone1 (aka G1) on a shelf and though that this time I should really give it a try and create an app for it. But I've really lost touch with the Android world and now I don't know where to start really. There have been many SDK releases lately for many new and better devices. Which one of these can I use with G1? What is the most recent one which can be used on that hardware (although with reduced performance) but which will enable development for rather modern Android releases as well. The firmware update received today, while recharging the phone, is 1.6. Can I go higher with some R&D build?

I've got a question as I don't have an Android 2.0 device to test on and this particular aspect seems untestable in the emulator. I've got a service that needs to be run as a foreground service. I have a notification that stops it etc, so I have no problem using startForeground instead of setForeground. However, I'd like to have 1 version of my app that works across all platforms... Is this possible? If my app is compiled with Android 1.5 and uses setForeground, then will that command actually work on an Android 2.0 device, or does it not matter which sdk was used to compile? I've tried compiling with 2.0, and surrounding the call to startForeground with a try/catch, but that throws a VerifyError when the service is started, when run on a 1.5/6 device since startForeground doesn't exist there. Can I catch and ignore the VerifyError somehow and make it work that way?
