Android :: Develop And Upload Android 2.1 Apps Onto Motorola Backflip
Apr 26, 2010
I'm planning to become android developer w/ Android 2.1 SDK For some reason I like to AT&T network. Since Motorola backflip is the only phone available on AT&T and reading recent reports that it only allows apps to be downloaded from Android Marketplace
I've a basic yet very important question:
Is it possible for a developer to write an app and upload to the device? If so my next doubt is how would I upgrade the OS from Android 1.5 to Android 2.1 on my backflip device?

Now Google is working on App Inventor, a program that lets pretty much anybody piece together their own apps:
Android App Inventer Makes Average Joe a Developer | These are the Droids
I foresee the Android Market being flooded with DIY apps, some good, some junk. What say you? Good thing for Android or a disaster in the making?

With the press release announcing the latest Motorola Android device, the BACKFLIP, we are getting quite a few questions on the addition of a rear touchpad. As a developer you can take advantage of the touchpad through the standard Android APIs offered in the event model. The experience, however, is unique to the BACKFLIP.
The touchpad responds to trackball events by default, or falls through to keypress events if you chose not to trap trackball events. The BACKFLIP also has 5-way navigation that responds to keypress events. So your application has the option of using the touchpad and 5-way keys in exactly the same way through keypress events, or creating two separate behaviors and experiences.
Be aware that there is a new user setting that enables or disables the touchpad, called BACKTRACK. This is turned on by default but can be disabled by the consumer. For more detailed information on coding for the touchpad refer to our technical library article http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/Using_BACKTRACK_Touch....

Anybody excited about this? I have Verizon, but I'm sure there are At&t users who are stoked about getting Android. I think its kind of interesting the that keyboard is sort of the back of the phone.. Check out info on Moto Backflip here.

My Motorola Backflip is just 2 days old. I am facing some issues regarding Android Keyboard and Dialer applications and the Update of the system.
Android keyboard :- application functions improperly on an intermittent basis.When I want to compose a message and I open the keyboard for typing the typed characters are recognized (I can see them popping up) nut in the input box nothing gets typed.
Dialer application - When I want to place a call and hit the Green Call button in left of Home button I face following issues
1) the application takes a few second to appear
2) when I double-click or press and hold the contact to call the desired number the call does not initiate.
Finally I had to restart my phone.In two days this has happened so many times.
Also I tried checking for updates may times.But it said "the device is unable to connect to the server.Try again later."
There are no issues with my Wireless network.I ran Marketplace application and signed into my Google account successfully.

I dropped my phone from a waste level height onto concrete, the phone appears to be in perfect condition but the screen is completely black and unresponsive. I had upgraded the phone, a motorolla Backflip, to Cyanogen 7.1 so it would suck less (still sucks) and what I need to do is somehow fix the screen or maybe view the files somehow from my computer. There was tons of really important school related notes on a notes app I downloaded as well as other really important files. My number one goal is to somehow get these notes or just see them at least in whatever way possible, fixing the phone is not so much of a worry because I already have a replacement. The phone vibrates when it powers up and the LED notification light blinks as it is being charged like its supposed to, the keyboard keys don't light up like they're supposed to and I'm not sure they work, but the home, back, and the other button with the four squares on the front of the phone work and vibrate when tapped but they don't light up either. The phone is clearly on I just can't see it.

Since I don't know (and I don't think anyone does) when the next version of the Android Developer Phone that will support Android 2.x be available, can I use the following unlocked Android phone available on Amazon

To test my Android apps (that is after testing on simulators).

I am developing my first Android App. I have an application already running on emulator (Eclipse + Android dev. tools) on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010. I have already tryied the steps provided on Android Developers Portal on this link, but whenever I try to list my already connected device using ./adb devices
I get the following:
mmaia@mmaia-desktop:~/tools/android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
? no permissions
I have checked and when I run the virtual emulator the same command returns:
List of devices attached
? no permissions
emulator-5554 device
Also when I ask eclipse to run the emulator it finds the device(galaxy 5), see image below, but can't find serial, probably because of some permission, than I am only able to choose the virtual emulator.
How do I configure permission to use Galaxy 5 as a device while developing for Android under Ubuntu 10.04?

I want to test my android app on a phone. I do not have an android phone so I was going to purchase one. Question, I can get a phone on eBay etc without a contract will this work to test my app? Or must it be an unlocked or rooted phone? Can I install and test my apps on a phone that has not been unlocked and does not nave a contract?

Possible Duplicates:
Good book for beginning android development
The best book for programming in Android
The "best/easy to understand" "resource/tutorials/guides/book" wins the answer!
I'm really trying not be subjective here. Most guides I came up with on forums, etc., date back to 2007/2008 so I guess I want something more recent. (Some of them are reeeeeally outdated).

We develop apps for mobile phones and have just started for android as well. We would like to upload a free version and a paid version, but India is still not allowed for paid apps to be uploaded. We have a US office coming up soon (but can't say when)...
In view of this, is it possible to upload an app (free version) now, and then when the US office comes in, upload the paid version? Or will the Indian developer registration in the market preclude this possibility?

I got my app to install on the Backflip and started testing it. On the emulator everything appeared ok but on the Backflip there are a few notable differences.
I have edittext boxes which on the emulator automatically vary in size to accommodate the text. The text is a number, the max being two digits, i.e., 1-99. On the Backflip the edit boxes seem to be a fixed width and that width is larger than needed. Consequently some of the edittext boxes go past the end of the screen and can't be used or seen. This doesn't happen on the emulator.
I also have spinners. One set of spinners is created using android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item populated by an array from array.xml. These spinners have the radio button showing and they work on both the emulator and the Backflip displaying a white background with black text.
The other spinner is created using int layoutID = android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item and is populated with strings from the database using an ArrayAdapter. This spinner displays ok on the emulator with a white background with black text. On the Backflip however, it displays the white background but with white text making the list essentially impossible to see. The list is populated because when I press on an item the background color changes to red, the text is white, and the program works ok.
My question is: Are these discrepancies peculiar to the Backflip or am I doing something wrong in the code? I'd hate to think all devices come with peculiarities that require workarounds. Hopefully I'm doing something wrong and hope someone can point out what it is. I'll post any code someone wants to see but right now I don't know what to post. Thanks.
I should add that when I use android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item for the other spinner the text shows up ok but I now have the radio buttons which I don't want.

I'm really new with this thing of "Android development" and I was really excited when I found Appcelerator Titanium, but now I got the big surprise, it doesn't work on my computer. What other alternatives are there for Android development specially if they include HTML, JavaScript and CSS for creating such applications?

I want to run C# programs on my HTC Magic, I can find the mono app on the Android market but I have no clue on how to run C# using. The code is just for fun, I don't want official support and such. After coding Visual Basic on windows mobile, I really want to code C# on Android, whether directly using some sort of editor if exists, or compiling it on a PC then installing it on Android. If anyone knows a way to do such please let me know.

I have gone through the Android guide for other IDEs, and I've got the basic build and install working fine using ant and a simple Emacs compile command. I'm aware of some of the existing tools for developing Java and XML in Emacs. I've also seen the EmacsWiki page recommending two Emacs packages, EmDroid and android-mode I'd like to hear what people recommend, in terms of Emacs packages, small functions, or just workflows. As a side note, I have decent familiarity with Eclipse, and I did setup the ADT plugin. However, emacs is my primary editor, and I'd like to see how I can use it here.

I can't find xscope web browser on my backflip running 1.5 anymore. I've looked on google and I can't find any mention of support being dropped for 1.5 or it being pulled for any reason, so what the hell? Can anyone with 1.5 confirm/deny if you can see it? Is there a website that caches old versions of apps that I could download and install myself?

When I plug my Android Backflip into my computer, Windows 7 recognizes it but it never shows up in Eclipse's DDMS. I have the USB Debugging checked under Development on the phone and I can see virtual devices I create just fine in DDMS but never anything at all for Backflip.
Does anyone know of something else that needs to be done? I see some things talking about special tasks for Linux but I am running Microsoft Windows 7!

I am about to start developing an android app and need to get an IDE. Eclipse and the android eclipse plugin appears to be the natural choice. However I am familiar with intelliJ and re-sharper so I would prefer use intelliJ.
Has anyone used http://code.google.com/p/idea-android/">http://code.google.com/p/idea-android/? Is this any good?
Should I just bite the bullet and learn Eclipse?
