I want to know if its necessary to buy a screen protector for the long run Right now the screen is void of scratches and I've been sliding it in and out of my pocket for 4 days now and smudges come off very easily.
So anyone perform a test or have any scratching issues?
I'm writing an Android JUnit test and want to copy/reset a test fixture file (it's an SQLite database file.) If I were within the main application, I know I could just place the file in the assets directory and use getResources().getAssets().open(sourceFile).However, this API appears to be unavailable from the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 class.Is there an easy way to copy a file over from the testing PC, or should I just keep a fresh copy of a test fixture on the device and copy it over a temporary file?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi am working on android CTS test, i am getting API check time out error whenever i start test plan CTS, i followed the below steps for CTS test and also i mentioned my doubts.
CTS test steps :
1. Please download and install the Android 1.6 SDK on your machine.
2. Your phone should be running a user build (Android 1.6 and later) from source.android.com
3. Please refer to this link on the Android developer site and set up your device accordingly.
4. Make sure that your device has been flashed with a user build (Android 1.6 and later) before you run CTS.
5. You need to download the TTS files via Settings > Speech synthesis > Install voice data before running CTS tests. (Note that this assumes you have Android Market installed on the device, if not you will need to install the files manually via adb)
6. It is advisable to log in to the device with a test Google account, not an account that you actually use.
7. Make sure the device has a SD card plugged in and the card is empty. Warning: CTS may modify/erase data on the SD card plugged in to the device.
8. Do a factory data reset on the device (Settings > SD Card & phone storage > Factory data reset). Warning: This will erase all user data from the phone.
9. Make sure no lock pattern is set on the device (Settings > Security & location > Require Pattern should be unchecked.Google Confidential
10. Make sure the "Screen Timeout" is set to "Never Timeout" (Settings > Sound & Display > Screen Timeout should be set to "Never Timeout".
11. Make sure the "Stay Awake" development option is checked (Settings > Applications > Development > Stay awake).
12. Make sure Settings > Application > Development > Allow mock locations is set to true.
13. Make sure the device is at the home screen at the start of CTS (Press the home button).
14. While a device is running tests, it must not be used for any other tasks.
15. Do not press any keys on the device while CTS is running. Pressing keys or touching the screen of a test device will interfere with the running tests and may lead to test failures.
Doubts :
1) is it necessary to follow all the steps ?
2) for step 5, i copied the voice data to the SD card and if i follow step 8 it will erase all contents of SD card so how can i follow both step 5 and step 8 at a time...?
error message while doing CTS test on Device :
pvteam@pvteam-desktop:~/Desktop/android-cts/tools$ ./startcts
Android CTS version 2.1_pre_r1
Device(HT9A4LV00787) connected
cts_host > start --plan CTS
cts_host > There are 3 existing session(s) for plan CTS.
[code]...
the Device restart took place three times then i stoped the CTS test.
Warning, this process may cause our phone to become unstable if you clock it at the wrong speed. I advise that you do not continue onto steps 2 and 3 until you find the settings that work for YOUR phone best.
All credit goes to Fab for his how-to post, Elkay for the original mod of the milestone overclock and to Hilbe for his install-recovery.sh and setscaling.sh files as well as figuring out where to add on these commands. And also Airmaxx23 for helping me refine the commands. As well as FreeWELL for his Root Explorer guide and his stop overclocking commands
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
First, things first download the attachment at the bottom of this post
Now on to how to overclock that survives a reboot,
1. First follow Fabolous's guide to overclocking,

I'm using the 1.5 SDK. I read in 1.0 that rotating the device would cause onCreate() to be called in our apps (possibly recreating the entire app?). Is there a way to test rotating the device in the emulator? I just want to see what happens, I don't have a device to test this. Will the behavior be the same for 1.5 as it was in 1.0?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an Android application that consists of:
a lightweight background service that logs events to a DB
a heavier GUI application that summarizes these events and displays graphs.
I'm having trouble creating the service part, though. The graphic application can use quite some RAM, and when it goes to the background, the OS closes it after some time of not being used.
The problem is, when the application gets shut down, so does the service. This is bad because this keeps me from recording further events. I don't care if the application gets terminated, but the service needs to keep on running.
I have tried numerous ways to keep the service alive, like having it use threads or a differently named process than the main app. Nothing has worked, and I have found no help on any of the android developer pages or forums.
I'm trying to test a test app I developed on android 2.2 sdk on my htc phone with Froyo on it (2.2). In the emulator it works fine, when I export as unsigned app and try to install on the phone, it doesn't allow me, just telling me 'application non installed'. The phone has the settings to accept installation of non android application, so I'm not sure why I can't test on it. Is it because it's not signed?

My question is how can I reliably test this on device? Ideally, how can I force the phone into a full-on sleeping state. Failing that, how can I know for sure when the phone has fully gone to sleep? How do you test your Alarm Manager / Wake Lock / Sleep handling code?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a project (that compiles and runs in the emulator.) I have a test project that tests part of this project. This test project also compiles with no problems, but when I try to run (test) it in the emulator, I get a NoClassDefFoundError exception on one of the classes my test class tests (I hope that made sense!) when it starts to run in the emulator. This is coming out of the adb log. I looked in the bin directory (of the test project) for the missing class, but could not find it... Should it be there? I found no reference (apk, etc) of the project I am trying to test either in the test projects bin directory. How does the test project get the classes it needs to test against (in the classpath, I assume.) How do the tested classes get moved to the emulator? I did try running the app before testing, so I know it is installed and runs correctly. BTW, I am using netbeans with the nbandroid plugin.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid with protective case...is there any car dock that works with the case? I got a Droid 2 car dock based on the recent video and it does not work with the protective case. I have the protective case that Verizon sells with the criss-cross pattern on it. I don't see any other markings to identify it more clearly.
I need a solution where I can dock the Droid in the car (with power to the Droid) while still in the case. Does anyone know of a combination that works? I searched the forums but could not find an answer to this specific request.
Just wondering if there can ever be a protective case made for the Droid. I understand it is a slider and I've never had a slider before. Done a google search and came up with nothing.

I have found many examples (that look totally different) online of how to make a test project, but it seems that no matter which one I follow, I get the same results.Here's my JUnit project code:package com.mycompany.myproject.test;
import android.test.AndroidTestCase;public class SimpleTestCaseExample extends Android TestCase {public void test_testOne() {fail("Just Always Fail");When I run, I see the following in Logcat:

Instrumentation TestRunner on device emulator-5554 Collecting test information Test run failed: No test results I have tried a variety of different things, messing with the basic TestCase class, or the TestSuite class, or a variety of other options. I tried to just go for the most trivial example because I'm really still trying to learn how this works.Whatever I try, I see this error.
I'm working on a school project and I'm researching testing possibilities for Android applications. On this page: http: // developer . android . com/ resources / tutorials /testing /hello android. Google writes about a unit test. Is this really a unit test? A Unit test will not integrate all classes and will not test in his context. So my opinion is it is not a Unit Test but an Integration Test.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I noticed some (protective) plastic on the back of the sliding screen today. I gave it a little flick to see if it was meant to stay, but it peeled right off. Seems to be part of the plastic films put on before shipping. Can't believe I haven't seen this in over 2 months (of course I rarely slide it open).Sliding mechanism is much smoother now and certainly not loose.It has also opened up a whole new Droid Feature: It is so shiny and reflective on the back of the slider now, if you get lost in the woods and are out of cel reception, you can use the back of the slider to reflect the sun and signal the rescue plane while still playing your favorite game to pass the time Droid does Survival tool!
