You really shouldn't be using the platform build system to create your own applications that you are going to distribute separately from the platform. That is what the SDK tools are for. If you do this, you are going to sign your app with a dummy certificate that you don't own, which somebody else could use to fake your app (since it is right out there in the public source tree), and which will probably expire some time in the not far future and cause you all kinds of grief. (Actually Market should hopefully prevent you from uploading an app signed with such a cert.) > Or would it have to be a device running a > version of android that I signed?

The SDK tools take care of all of this stuff for you, in the context of writing a third party app. If you are distributing something separate from a platform build shipped on a device, that is the way you should do it. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
