[android-beginners] Re: : Help Needed
Hi All, I am new in era of android. I am intrested in such kind of application. I have seen one application on symbian phone like tracer. It gives us the all the information about the operator circle and different location ID. If we want to trace any phone then we should make a application which annonymously(or it must be installed on both phone) install on someone's phone and send application info via call like in DTMF form. Then track those DTMF info and by analyizing those info, we can find the exact location. Am I right?? Is this possible? I am with u guyz...

[android-beginners] Re: With no previous programming knowledge / experience, how do I get started creating an app?
The Eclipse plugin can be bypassed, if you really wanted to. But I wouldn't recommend it. As an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), Eclipse manages your projects for you in many ways. To forgo it would mean using the command line for everything.The SDK is completely independent of the Plugin. Make no mistake, you are actually typing Java in there. It is being compiled as Java with the installed Java JDK. The SDK tools then convert it to Dalvik. The plugin makes it pretty and easy for you. See the tools folder in the android sdk folder -- this is all being accessed by Eclipse through the Android Development Tools (ADT) Plugin. Actually, when you become more experienced, you may short-cut right to the command line for things like debugging. But, I find the Eclipse debugger to be quite nice. Finally, I quote Google on Installing the SDK: If you will be using the Eclipse IDE as your environment for developing Android applications, you can install a custom plugin called Android Development Tools (ADT), which adds integrated support for Android projects and tools. The ADT plugin includes a variety of powerful extensions that make creating, running, and debugging Android applications faster and easier.

There's a tidbit about it in the FAQs stating that it makes creating apps for Android easier, but what does it actually do that makes it easier? Is it the conversion tool that converts Java to Dalvik? Is it a GUI that does coding in Java without actually typing out Java code (kind of like VB where you have windows and such and you move them around and set value having it do the real coding behind the scenes)? Or is it something completely different? On Sep 30, 9:38 am, David Farler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You are correct. First, your files are compiled as true java class files. The Java bytecode gets converted to the dex format by the dx utility. So, while it's not technically Java at the end, all of the rules of programming java should apply.

I'm guessing no because from my guess, what happens is you code in Java and it gets baked into whatever Dalvic bicode is for android to recognize it... but I just want someone who knows to answer.

In your home directory there should be a file called .bashrc (the dot

[android-beginners] Google Map Directions - Do they exist within Android?
Hey, I am wanting to use the directions functionality present within the web based google map api within an Android project. Firstly I am just checking if the Android SDK allows for use of directions? I had a quick look through the documentation but I couldnt find it mentioned anywhere. I do hope they havent left it out as its one of the most useful features. Can it be used? If not is there a workaround which could be used I.e. calling the web based maps api somehow to get directions?

[android-beginners] Re: Install Google Android SDK on Ubuntu
You can use your favorite text editor to edit these text files. Personally,
I use vi. In order to figure out how to use vi (if you would like to use
this editor), from your command line you could enter:
# man vi
This command will give you the 'man' page for the vi application (manual
page).
Execute the following command from your command line:
# vi ~/.bash_profile
This will open up a vi session with the .bash_profile file opened up for
modification.
The ~ in the above command is just a shorthand way of specifying your user
account's home directory.
Once inside vi, make the change described, and save the file. Without
having to logout and log back in (when you login and the bash shell is
started, the ~/.bash_profile file is read), execute the following from the
command line:
# source ~/.bash_profile
Voila! You should be good to venture further down the path now
Welcome to the dark side =)

[android-beginners] Re: If Android does not support flash.....
Actually Flash is available on other platforms. FlashLite is Adobe's offering for mobile devices consisting of a shrunk version of Flash 8 and according to Adobe can display fully functional flash websites while embedded into a mobile browser. In fact the latest iteration of this software FlashLite3 is already in use on some Symbian S60 3rd Edition phones, notably the Nokia N95 8GB and the Nokia N96. I use the N95 and have been able to view flash videos on many websites within the nokia browser, unfortunately youtube isn't available in its native format as it uses Flash 9 but there is a mobile version of the site which you are automatically redirected to which offers all the videos in H.264 format (this means it plays in RealPlayer instead of in the browser). I would assume that this is the same source used by the iphone and probably by android. On Sep 29, 3:22 pm, Chris Ashton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has Flash ever been ported to a non-x86 platform?
