This is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.
My GMail calendar appears on my new Motorola Droid, however I can not seem to add additional calendars. In google.com/calendar, mine plus 3 others (personal, shared, not public) are visible, but on the droid:
calendar
menu
more
my calendars
(only 1 shows up)
click "+ Add Calendars"
I get an aparatn drop down down arror next to add calendars, which has nothing and isn't clickable. OK is greyed out and Cancel is the only thing I can do on this screen.
At night when using the multi-media dock, I find that even using the "dimmer" of the two screen brightness options for the dock, it is still WAY too bright, and I don't think it's just the light from the 4 buttons. Any app out there or other solution to this without rooting the phone?

Just wanted to double check with pro's here to make sure that adding a font set is not possible unless one has root access. I need to add non-English font support to Browser and email client to be able to read other languages.
I'd like to use python scripts as plugins for an app I'm developing. This seems to be possible by interacting with android-scripting-environment (ASE), as is done by Locale, but I haven't found any documentation about this. How you execute ASE scripts from your own app?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering if there was an Android environment that would let you run Android OS inside/alongside Windows, like Virtual PC basically, and let you have full connectivity just like if you were using your phone. I'm not sure what the utility could be right now but it sounds interesting to me.

I've just started debugging my first three line long android app and I can't seem to use the debug tool like I want to. Here's my code:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
int a = 1 / 0;
}
Now I expect the debugger to halt the thread and show me the line number of statement where the division by zero occurs. No, instead it shows some other method internal to the system for which I have no source. To make the matters worse, there is no exception message either. Prior to this app, I created one which would do something when a button was pressed. If any exception was raised, again no useful line number or exception message would be shown. As of right now, there is no way to debug my app. I'm using the latest SDK along with Eclipse ADT plugin and debugging on a real device (Nexus One).
I'm trying to make my app scriptable. Specifically, I need to expose a few Java APIs and make callbacks settable via user-written scripts. Ideally I'd like to hide some of the complexity away in a DSL, but there's no way of accomplishing what I want neatly without some form of user scripting, so I may accept another alternative if it meets my requirements. Initially I looked into Scala as that is my main language of choice, but the Scala interpreter is just a wrapper around its compiler, which I'm told won't run well if at all on the phone.
I've also tried JRuby, which worked under Cupcake. There appears to be a regression in the form of a Dalvik bug that prevents it from working under Donut, however:

I've also seen the Android Scripting Environment. Am I correct in assuming that this only supports running full interpreters and not embedding scripting languages into apps?

I would like to use self defined Environment variables in my source code.
I use System.getenv() to do this and the code line looks like this. Log.d("MyTest","== MyEnv " + System.getenv("AP") + " ANDROID_ASSETS:" + System.getenv("ANDROID_ASSETS"));
Before I execute my code I define my AP variable with export: export AP="12345" and the this is my output of set command
ANDROID_ASSETS=/system/app
ANDROID_BOOTLOGO=1
ANDROID_DATA=/data
ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE=9,32768
ANDROID_ROOT=/system
AP=12345
Then I execute my code and I get this line from logcat
D/MyTest( 5363): == MyEnv null ANDROID_ASSETS:/system/app
The value for my defined Environment variable is null. Any suggestions on why it didn't work?

i am trying to look into android goldfish code and probably make some changes in it. As it is a long way to go for me i am actually unable to decide the tools that i need to set up. I come from an IDE based programming experience so am always trying to find a walk through tutorial to get goldfish kernel code in eclipse CDT to browse and code but no luck.I have followed the post source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html and built the kernel accordingly.wiki.eclipse.org/HowTo_use_the_CDT_to_navigate_Linux_kernel_source but am still not confident of my setup.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am interested in displaying web pages with more than the 3 installed fonts. I tried the demo of installing fonts as assets and changing the typeface, but I am not sure if it applies to a Webview. I was able to modify the sdk and install more fonts in frameworks/base/ data/fonts. I can see those additional files when using the shell in / system/fonts. However, the fonts were not used in the internal web browser.
