After spending too much time trying to get a video of my app, I wanted to follow up on this thread.
Last night I spent the better part of the night trying to capture video and audio from a walk-through of my application. I used Fraps to capture video of my desktop and the audio from my headset, which worked out really well. I used the emulator to run my application and a web browser beside it as that has a value for explaining usage. The emulator was so slow, causing issues not found while running on real hardware, and simply useless for these purposes. I can't imagine trying to do development on the emulator exclusively. I've always used my phone to debug and I suspect that if I didn't have that luxury, I wouldn't have lasted long trying to do Android development. It was awful. I managed to capture about 45 minutes of video which came down to about 20 minutes after editing. There's still a lot of lag and performance issues being shown in the video that aren't representative of the experience that customers have on their phone, so really, I won't be releasing what I've created so far. It won't do a lot for promotion if a prospective customer thinks they'll be waiting a minute for certain screens to show up -- when in reality they won't be. Now I need to find a way to capture using my phone directly and walking through the application that way. The performance is real, the experience is a better representation of the actual app, and will be a better showcase for what a customer is about to purchase. It sucks I can't use the emulator to convey that. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 8:00 PM, TreKing <treking...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 10:27 AM, Kunju Vava <android...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> plse give any idea? > > > Start your own thread? > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago > transit tracking app for Android-powered devices > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
