In the business section of the NY Times today, under the Gadgetwise section, there is an article on the Incredible and the new features it has. Only problem is that the picture next to the article is the Eris!! Unless the Incredible now comes with a trackball and hard keys.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently did some update on my Hero, and now on the home screen, one of my widgets just has a black rectangular box that inside says "Problem loading gadget".
I did an internet search and see that I need to load it to internal memory. I've gone to Settings, then Applications, then Manage applications...but can find nothing when I click on an widget where I can load to internal memory. How do I do that? or.....how do I get rid of this "Problem loading gadget" box (and I don't even remember what it was).
This folder includes screen shots that are used for Internet Browser bookmarks. It also includes screen shots of web pages that I did not choose to bookmark. When I clear cache while in "Internet" in "Manage Applications" it does not remove these jpg files that are not being used for bookmarks. When I clear everything while in Internet app (in settings) it does not remove these jpg files either. It also does not remove them from within the HistoryEraser app. The only way I can remove the jpg files is with Astro or when connected to PC. I have to go through them and erase jpgs that I do not want there.
There were 72 jpg files in that directory and they go all the way back to when I got phone (on 4/29). I have only added 5 bookmarks myself during that time. They do not take up a lot of space but I just don't want them there.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm a bit scared about obfuscating my application completely. I'm afraid to run into issues where I can't figure out a bug because lines and function names wont match. Please correct me if I'm wrong... I thought maybe the simplest way to protect important parts of my code is to create a jar of the important files. I know and understand that jars are good only for classes and no xmls or other Android dependent parts. I believe it would be simple this way since I would not have to worry about obfuscating too much and breaking my project. Also, could be helpful for distributing to clients a library which they can't decompile.
In terms of obfuscating jars maybe I could do the same to the Market Licensing code to protect my paid application from pirating? What are your thoughts on my approach? Maybe bad idea? What experiences have you had with obfuscating your application? Is it not as bad as I think?
Could developer upload 'component'/SDK to android market? Now it seems only have 2 type: 'application' and 'Game'. I just wonder if android market has the mechanism for developers to upload component-wise programs which can be used in others's application. Then developers may get benefit from earch others. Or Is android provide a easy way to invok and communicate with other application from one application?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn an app with a small number of POJOs and lots of helper methods that operate on them, what's better performance-wise: to make the helper classes singletons or to make the methods static?
View 4 Replies View RelatedRather than do this by just creating a lot of strings (which I've already managed), I want to add an integer and then print those list to the screen. At the moment, I'm just trying to get one integer on the screen without even adding it, but the app is "force closed" in the emulator. Why doesn't this work? Add one to it and then print the answer to this for a given loop (say up until 10).
Code:
package com.monkeez.count;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Count extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
TextView countDisplay;
@Override public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) { int counter = 1;
countDisplay = new TextView(this);
this.setContentView(countDisplay);
countDisplay.setText("counter here");
} }
The log cat is thus:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am in between phones right now, and no longer have a N1 and am looking to replace it with another Android phone without switching carriers from AT&T.They currently have the HTC Aria(I have no interest in), the Samsung Captivate(Galaxy S), and will soon be getting the X10.This phone has been out for some time in EU/Asia and Canada for a bit, and I am fairly familiar with it. It seems the bad points are no multi-touch ever, Android 1.6 with a who knows for sure on Android 2.x, but the rest seems fairly solid. Most of the reviews are from when it first came out, and generally complain about the GUI being slow.My questions are basically:
1. Is the phone solid hardware wise, with build quality etc? I know it's mostly plastic, but does it feel cheap, hold up well?
2. Has Android 1.6 caused you any problems app wise? I'm fairly certain google navigation works on 1.6, which is a deal breaker for me if it doesn't.
3. How is the GUI, do you enjoy it? I can't stand Samsung's TouchWiz, Moto Blur, and prefer stock Android, but don't mind HTC Sense.
4. I keep reading something about the screen doesn't have all it's colors activated or something? Others say it is amazing. Curious if it is the Super LCD Sony is selling HTC to replace AMOLED.
I know the Galaxy S has a better CPU, GPU(Android isn't much for gaming anyways), more ram, Super AMOLED, blah, blah but their software is terrible and I don't like their form factor.
And once it is released, will you switch to the Supersonic: A.) With a full upgrade from Sprint B.) Buy it outright C.) Stay with your Hero How much effect will a 2.1 Hero update have on your decisions? What will your actions be if it WILL and WILL NOT get the upgrade.

View 49 Replies View Related"Given that I am in the process of switching from my Sprint HTC Hero over to a Verizon HTC DROID Eris I have been paying more attention lately to accessories for the Eris, one of which was extended batteries. Personally I am not really sure that I need one, but at the same time, a little extra juice is always a welcomed option for a smartphone especially when you are a heavy user.That said, it seems that Seidio has two options available, a 1750mAh and a 3500mAh which are selling for $49.95 and $69.95 respectively.The main difference here, aside from the 3500 offering more juice (and being more expensive) is that the 1750 model was designed to fit with the original battery cover. And that means no extra thickness. The 3500mAh battery on the other hand will add some extra thickness, though its said to only be 3-4mm. The nice part here is that this battery does come with the replacement back cover.
