View 1 RepliesI have made apps for the iPhone, but want to also code for the Android but want to know if it is first worth my time, second worth my having to learn another language, and third worth the effort in the sense that am I going to make a profit from this. Also if in any way Android code is similar, then will it be hard to bring the iPhone (Xcode) files, or copy and paste my iPhone code into the Android code.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a some strange issue. I would like to get the package name of the current home screen. lets say we have two home screens : 1. default android home theme 2. 3rd party home theme. Assume both are installed and current home theme is 3rd party home theme.
Now I would like to get the package package name of the current home theme (3rd party). Is there any api which can give the current home screen package name? I can get the package name in ddms. But I want it pro grammatically.
I'm new to Android programming. I've seen different phones with different screen resolutions that run on Android. How can I create an application that works on all android devices with out any distortion in my application views.....
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anyone recommend a good Beginner Android programming book? When I was in college about 20 years ago I used to program a lot (Basic, Pascal, COBOL, Fortran). I dabbled a little bit in VisualBASIC about five years go, but it was really a hack. Now, I really have a burning desire to write some applications for my Android phone, but I really don't know anything about all the new programming technologies (OOP etc). I'm looking for a good book that will teach me modern programming using Java and the Android platform.
I've seen good books on learning Java 6 and some good books on programming Android (but they all seem to assume you know Java or C), but nothing that seems to combine the two. I'd really like to learn Java right on the Android platform to begin with if possible. I know there are a lot of resources available online but unfortunately much of the time that I will spend on this endeavor is when I won't have internet access so a good book would go a long way.

If I use a Utility class in my Application than to use that class in my main Activity do I have to create the object of that class or I can directly Import that class in my main activity?
In the nutshell, all I want to be clear about is that basically how can I use the utility class in my Main Activity?
In theory, Dalvik executes any virtual machine byte code, created for example with the compilers of
AspectJ
ColdFusion
Clojure
Groovy
JavaFX Script
JRuby
Jython
Rhino
Scala
Are there already working versions of bytecode compilers for Dalvik available for other languages than Java?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI may be doing some Blue tooth Serial Port programming work for a client and I'm just looking for some tips in determining complexity/ workload. The work is similar to reading from a blue tooth GPS (not making the phone a blue tooth GPS), but it is some custom hardware, so not exact. Here's what (I think) I know so far: I will need to pair devices with a Serial Port Profile. I need to connect using a Bloodsucker which works on Android 2x -I don't know yet if the Android I will be a server or a client in this scenario. I will open an InputStream (no output stream needed) and have a thread continually blocking for input I believe "BluetoothChat" is the best example to start with. What I would want to know. - Are there devices/manufacturers who block the blue tooth serial port, trying to block tethering or something like that? (-I've seen posts here that imply that, but I don't see a bunch of comments like "Doesn't work on my @#$$" in Blue tooth GPS Providers in the market). -Are there going to be hardware specific oddities, or can I develop with my Nexus One and just hope it works on everything else? -Is pairing something that will require a lot of education for the users, and would a good app try to initiate this inside their app, or just assume it is already done. -Is Blue tooth programming going to be my worst nightmare, like it sometimes was on Windows Mobile, or smoother than I could ever hope?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm beginning to learn mobile programming on the Android platform. I'm up for working with any particular base SDK. I just want to hear some suggestions from the community about what types of applications I should start with to help learn more advanced interactions with the platform.There are of course the Standard Hello World, calculator, etc. But by now I am bored with all of those.What do you all make when learning a new language?
View 10 Replies View RelatedThe application allowed its users to control the volume of the artist; even mute it.How is this possible?Does adjusting artist sound/setting equalizer etc. mean performing some transformation of required frequencies? What sort of mathematics is required here(frequency domain transformations)?The application recorded users voice input via a mic. Assuming that the sound is recorded in some format, the application was able to mix the recording with the karaoke track(with artists voice muted). How can this be done?Did they play both the track and voice recording simultaneously? Or maybe they inserted additional frequency(channel?) in the original track, maybe replaced it?What sort of DSP is involved here? Is this possible in Java, Objective C?

and played for 10 seconds, and nothing has happened.....
I've recently knocked up a server/client app for Windows & Android that allows one to send a file from Windows to an android phone over a socket connection. It works great for a single file but trying to send multiple files over in a single stream is causing me problems. I've also realised that aside from the binary data, I will need to send messages over the socket to indicate error states and other application messages. I have little experience with network programming and and wondering what is the best way forward.Basically the C# server side of the app just goes into a listening state and uses Socket.SendFile to transmit the file. On Android I use the standard Java Socket.getInputStream() to receive the file. That works great for a single file transfer, but how should I handle multiple files and error/messaging information? Do I need to use a different socket for each file? Should I be using a higher level framework to handle this or can I send everything over the single socket? Any other suggestions for frameworks or learning materials?

My question is, where do I start? Anyone got some good sites to recommend or perhaps a book or two. I've got medium skills when it come to programming but iv got a masters of science degree in computer engineering so I'm not totally unfamiliar with algorithms and stuff.
I have been seeking beginner learning books in Android, and of course found out that I should learn Java first. So I began studying Java and now I am quite comfortable with objects, classes, inheritance, interfaces, and just moved onto Layouts in Swing as well as Swing Features. But I am starting to wonder.... do I know enough about Java now? Can I start programming Android yet?
Of course I can keep going in Java, but have been itching to begin programming Android apps.
Any definitive answer here about how much Java I need to know before Android?
I am new to Java and I referred regarding my question on the Net but not quite Satisfied. I want to know what the "Utility Class" in Java is?
