This is sort of about task managers, and yet, not. I have an application I need to stay open (meebo) but Androids's task manager closes it sometimes. I have tried using task managers to keep enough memory free that Android won't kill Meebo, but it usually gets killed eventually anyway. Does anyone have an idea on how to keep it open? I am running 2.2.

If one defines layout land and port, there is a noticeable pause during the switch. Yet, I downloaded a bubble level application that never pauses as orientation changes - even when it switches from a circular level (gravity vector through back of device) to a flat level (gravity vector through side or bottom edge).

I look for a method which silently install the application and then runs it (is it possible?) I understand how to initialize a second "application" inside my own one (with its own R and all stuff) I write my master program to fetch data from the web and construct pages dinamically.
I create new Project.
In that I move to res -> layout -> create one xml file.!

Then I remove the file and create new file as login.xml.!
But It show the new Error "your project contain error(s) please fix them before running your application"
