Hi Shlomo,
Android only uses the LINUX kernel. I was going to say that if your
question is not relatyed to the kernel, then it is an android question
and it is out of topic.
Or not?
The consensus seems to be that so long as we don't drown out the "Linux"
side of the list, questions on anything Unixish or Open-sourceish in
nature are okay. I believe the good people of this list will point it
out when this arrangement seizes to work well.

If I have a question on running something on Debian GNU/Hurd is my
question out of topic?
If I use PCBSD and I have a question related to kde or gnome, is my
question out of topic?
If I have a question about configuring my linksys or d-link router
that runs a linux kernel, is my question out of topic?

I'm having a strange problem moving some memo files from my Palm Zire to a new
Android phone. Since 2 of the 3 platforms I'm using are Linux (my PC and my
phone), I think this is on-topic - so long as we don't get into an arguement
about whether Android is really Linux or not ;-).
1 - I used jpilot to export Palm memo files to text files
2 - the files look fine in a Linux text editor (Kwrite, Kate, etc)
3 - I used Dropbox to move the files to my phone
4 - When I open the files on the phone (with various editors), there are
strange line breaks (seem to be random - between words, in the middle of a
word or even after each letter) - like this:
This is a tes

e
5 - I tried opening the files in Open Office (in Linux) and saving as .odt and
again copied to the phone with dropbox
6 - The Android Open Office reader app now reads the files properly.
Any ideas why the original text files show this behaviour?
BTW - when I opened the files in Open Office (in Linux), I checked to see if
there were un-printable characters, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I
even looked at the files in hexedit to see if there were any unusual
characters, but found nothing unusual.
