[android-developers] Re: Note on Size of Apps
Have you followed this guide: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/preparing.html droozen wrote: So I wrote my own calculator app because I wanted to have some different functionality than the calculator that comes with the phone. Now, I notice the calculator that came with the phone, when looking through the Manage Applications, only shows as being 4kb in size. My calculator ends up being 104kb after all is said and done. Anyone have an idea why the huge difference in size? I mean, I know I built my calculator to do more than the built in one, but I didn't think it was doing 25 times more stuff than the built in one! I can't even make an empty Word document that small (4kb). A Notepad document with 10 characters takes up 4kb on disk. I'm not complaining, just curious. Is the built in calculator app that shows up in Manage Applications just a shortcut, or whatever, into the OS, and the functionality actually resides there? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: SDKs comparison with the iPhone
If its any consolation you are not alone in this. We have all been sucked in by Google. I just get the feeling we have already been spat out! While Google continue to make billions of $$$ what they need is additional resource to test their code, the grunt work. That is where we come in. If anyone thinks for a minute Google care, think again! Very sad, very sad indeed! Pd. Al Sutton wrote: Now before I start on the iPhone comparison I'm going to pre-empt the normal But Android is open source. response by saying lets be honest and admit it as it stands Android is not an open source project because the public open source repository is pretty worthless in its' current state. The last time I tried to build the master branch it failed missing some Google internal API classes. The SDKs I've produce from the cupcake branch seem to be considered by Google employees as pretty useless with comments like This is why we want to be clear it is unofficial, because it is not actually a working SDK being thrown around and networking in the emulator still being broken a week after users started reporting the showstopper problem (And Romain did hint that Google have a fix, I read http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/41fcefc36bd16d44 as there is a version where this is fixed). And as we all know you can't use it to build the exact versions of the open source parts of either of the two firmware versions that have shipped on the G1. To me it seems little more than code dump which is aimed at ensuring Google can keep saying But it is open source and not just a Google project Now, in the last week I had few conversations with iPhone developers so I could compare the Android developer experience to that of what is perceived as our nearest competitor and they are laughing at us (seriously, when I mentioned the G1 most of them responded by initially chuckling). The general consensus among them was; - Yes, you pay $99 for the iPhone dev kit, but you get free external testing (i.e. at apple) and commercial quality support with many queries being turned around in hours or a couple of days at worst. Compare that to some of the support queries on b.android.com for basic problems things like a Android failing to connect to wireless lans with hidden SSID (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1041) which, after *five and a half months* is still marked as New and doesn't have a single response from a Google employee. - The most common cause of App Store listing rejections are things that users would complain about anyway. This includes things like performance characteristics, UI anomalies, and inconsistent behaviour. This is the type of stuff that is left for users to find out on Android and only comes to light when 1* or 2* comments are posted and even then you don't know if it's a one off on the users device or possibly something specific to their region (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2372). - The normal amount of time from submission to app store listing is around 7 days. Some apps take months to go through the approval process, but that is because of intellectual property concerns, concerns over offensive content, or is because the app has to be re-reviewed a few times to meet the apples performance and behaviour guidelines. Yes it's not as fast as Android, but you know that once it's on the market it's of a quality where you're not going to get bombarded with user queries about problems straight off. - Most of the developers actually feel valued by Apple and feel that Apple does what it can to make sure they get the tools they need to do their job and ensure they're apps. This has been re-enforced by allowing the developers to beta test the new firmware and develop against it. Personally, it's made me shell out $99 for an iPhone SDK, dust off my Nokia N81, and spend $75 on eBay on a Blackberry so I can explore the alternatives.

[android-developers] Weekend Project: Fruits of my labour ...
Hello, I would like to present a short intro I wrote over the course of the weekend. Its basically what I call a round ticker. You'll get the idea if you load it up into your phone or emulator. The reason for me writing this was firstly to have some fun and secondly to learn about the SurfaceView, Animations etc I'm still learning :-) I think I could do something with paths but I didn't get to that part of the manual :-) Everything was calculated in real time ( you'll probably be able to tell :-) ) ... Oh, and there's no cool OpenGL in here ... I didn't get to look at that manual either :-) If its too slow just tap the screen to toggle sound on/off :-) The learning curve was quite steep at the beginning. :-) Hope you like it!

[android-developers] TextView bug or feature?
Just had an odd problem with a TextView. Setting the visibility doesn't seem to work but doing the same on say a ScrollView does. Is this normal? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: TextView bug or feature?
I did exactly that but it didn't work. I got around it by wrapping the TextView in a ScrollView for the time being so I can move on. I'll re-visit at a later date. Just wondered.

Anything to do with this? Status: 552 5.2.2 minokr: mbox is over quota I know there have been problems with gmail lately so maybe related. But just in case try cleaning your mail box. Just a guess :-) Pd. Stoyan Damov wrote: Hi, It's the 2nd post for which I'm getting: --- The original message was received at ...

I have released my game on 19th of February, built against SDK 1.1 but no minSdkVersion, and tested on my G1 w/ 1.1, i.e. it should be working on 1.0 devices. So far I haven't got a report that it's not working on any device, other than the intermittent Force Close issues after an update. Bottom line is, don't worry, install 1.1 and build against SDK 1.1 - I haven't had any problems. Surely I haven't used any feature from 1.1, not that there are many. Do read http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.1.html to get more confidence.
