Hi, I would like to develop apps that uses Sony Ericsson's LiveView device. I'm new to Android and Java, so my question my seem stupid. My experience is mainly C/C++ with Microsoft's MFC and Nokia's Qt, but Java seems to be not too far from C++. I managed to make some changes to the Sandbox example app which is included with the LiveView SDK, and it behave like I expected, so it seems like have understood at least a bit of LiveView, Android and Java. Now, here's my stupid question.
In Eclipse, I import the template app included with the SDK, and call it something else. Now, what changes should I do to it in terms of names of files, names of packages, etc? Everywhere I saw the name Template, I changed it to my own app name, but that leaves a lot of package names beginning with com.sonyericsson... and ending with my app name. I guess I should change the beginning of some package names, but probably not all. Which ones should I change? It would have been nice if the template files had more detaild instruction comments, like // TODO: change the next next line to the format myTopDomain.myDomain.MyExtraHierachy.MyAppname I used appXplore to check other LiveView plugins from Market, just to see how others did. And it's a mix. Some have kept com.sony.ericsson in the beginning of their package names, process names, and preference activities, and some have changed to their own. (I know that some of the LiveView plugins in Marked are developed by Sony Ericsson, so it's natural that they kept com.sonyericsson... but some non-sony-ericsson also kept it). So, it seems like I'm not the only one who need guidence.It would be nice if Sony Ericsson presented guidlines on how they expect people to do. If they don't, it would be nice if someone else wrote detailed instructions. Should the following keep their names (including com.sonyericsson...) myProjName/src/com.sonyericsson.extras.liveview myProjName/src/com.sonyericsson.extras.liveview.plugins Should I change the following: myProjName/src/com.sonyericsson.extras.liveview.plugins.template to for example myProjName/src/ myTopDomain.myDomain.myAppName.liveview.plugins.myAppName I tried that,and updated the manifest etc, but I didn't get it to work. Should I have done something else? It would have been really nice for beginners like me with specific TODO: comments saying exactly what to do.
