If I sell a copy of a LVL controlled app outside of the market, is there a way I can authorize it so that it checks out as licensed?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat do you do when you put an application on the Android Market and nobody buys it? That's the subject of todays installation of Market Moves (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=816). At the end there is a poll asking for your input on what to try next. Should I get rid of the free version? Reduce the price on the paid one? Add some more features? These are questions that every Android developer will face. Please have a look, add your vote for the best approach, and share your experiences in marketing your own apps in the talkback section.

However, I thought that it may be of interest to Android fans/developers looking for some viable statistics. The sales data are estimates, and we'd like feedback from developers on accuracy via our methodology.If you do have an app on the Android market place, we'd love to see how your stats compare to what we have in our data base - from what we've seen, most of our stats are within +/- 10% of actuals, but we're always looking for feedback!

How can I tell if a device is using HTC's SenseUI? I thought about using android.os.Build information, but they seem inconsistent. Is there a more definitive way? I need to be able to tell if I can launch the calendar by using com.android.calendar or com.htc.calendar.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy question is- with the telephony manager, is there a way to determine what number the phone is off hook with? I thought getLine1Number() might return that phone number that is being dialed, but it is not what I expect. I am working with 2 emulators, and added a log line so that I could see what that method is doing. When dialing another emulator, I expected getLine1Number() to return 5554, but it was 15555218135. Perhaps there is another method I should be using instead? Do I need to be into the source code to get the information I want?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a way to determine who passed an intent to my application. For example, I have a service, that I want to act differently depending on who passed the intent (for security reasons). I'm trying to sandbox each calling application, so they only have access to their data stored in my application.
For it to be secure, I cannot trust any application to be truthful about the identifying data it is passing into my service. Therefore, I need some system way of identifying who sent the intent in a way that the calling application cannot change that information. I don't know if it is possible, but I can't find anything in the Intent class, and I was wondering if there may be another structure which does what I want it to. If it is not possible, I would like to get some type of mechanism to do this in the roadmap.

View 20 Replies View RelatedI'm using a UNIX socket to facilitate communication on and Android device between a system level daemon I've got running in C and an application I've got running in Java. I'm much more of a C coder than a Java coder, so I'm having some issues when trying to read in data from the socket on the Java side. Currently, my code is as follows:

OutputStream os = receiver.getOutputStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));..............................

View 4 Replies View RelatedQuestion: How do you programmatically distinguish between directories and regular files in the assets folder?
When using AssetManager to access files in the assets folder, it seems impossible to determine if a file is in fact a file or a directory. You get the list of files from the list method and then open the file using the open method. I thought perhaps using the openFd method to get the asset file descriptor (and then subsequently requesting the normal file descriptor) would provide me some information. But requesting the file descriptor for a directory results in an IOException (which makes sense since what would it mean for a directory to have a file descriptor...?).
Currently I'm relying on that IOException (resulting from attemptng to open a directory in the assets folder) in order to determine if a file is in fact a directory. (Opening a regular file works just fine). This seems like a bad idea. Any other suggestions to distinguish between a file and a directory?
I am calling the ZXing scanner from Screen-A using intents. Once the scan is done control of course returns to the code behind Screen-A and I do some other work before calling Screen-B. Problem is the screen is black during this work period and I cannot determine the proper context to use to display a "working..." Toast/msgbox.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android App where the user has different options for sorting the displayed data that comes from the database. Currently my orderBy string that I pass to Androids query() method looks like this:
"LOWER("+columnName+") ASC"
The problem with this is that if the data type in the column specified by columnName is integer, calling LOWER() on it will cause it to be sorted alphabetically, i.e. based only on the leftmost digit, which of course doesn't make any sense for numeric data. Hence I only want to apply LOWER() if the data type of the column is not integer. What I have in mind is a statement like this:
"CASE WHEN [data type of columnName is integer] THEN "+columnName+" ASC ELSE LOWER("+columName+") ASC END"
The part in the brackets is what I don't know how to do. Does SQLite provide a function to determine a column's data type?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have updated my android application with android:installLocation="auto" in the manifest. If I install it on my N1 via the USB cable, it works and allows me to move the application to my SD Card. However, I have a friend that has downloaded the application through the market, and the option is grayed out for him even though it is the same version of the APK. We uninstalled the market version and installed it through the USB cable and he had the option to move the app to the SD Card. We uninstalled and reinstalled the market version, and again it was grayed out.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHow do you improve the position of an app in Android Market search results? The apps don't seem to be sorted on downloads.
The scope of this question is limited to working with the Android Marker search engine, of which there's little or no information. I changed the title to make it clearer.
I downloaded the sdk and added the library to my workspace, then the sample for market licensing. The sample app seems to force close somewhere after/during the instantiation of LicenseChecker. I tried running on the emulator with Google API 8 and on a droid x with froyo and it force closes. The stack shows PerformLaunchActivity as the top item. Both emulator and phone had a registered gmail account. how to get this to work?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTo pretty up the URL we have on our site a URL /get/g1. It redirects to our market.android.com/search URL, eg http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:ourappname.
However, going to that link in the G1 browser results in a 404 instead of opening the Market to our app.
Questions: 1. Is this a known issue? 2. Does the browser preprocess links on the page but not intercept them in a redirect?
My sim card has been blocked on the ATT side from using data (company pays for our wireless on the condition that data is blocked). That said, I have been unable to use Android Market at all because of it. At least, that's what I think the problem is. I know my sim is not data provisioned but shouldn't Android Market work over wifi exclusively?
