[android-beginners] Re: Debug Android G1 on FreeBSD
I'm not quite there yet, but soon the build system should be ported to OpenBSD at least, from there FreeBSD should be easy. Most of the BSD-related porting is done, it's just the USB parts left, I think. Since I have yet to receive my phone, I have not prioritized that part, but rather spent time on the emulator. Since I'm not just doing the OpenBSD porting, but also going to 64-bit host support, I have some other issues I need fixed, and they're not simple to pinpoint at all. To me it sounds like you are using linux emulation to try to connect to the phone, and that that doesn't work. That's not surprising, I have not looked at FreeBSD, but I would be surprised if the USB device controls are emulated. I think you need a native port of the host tools. If you are up to do such a port I can help. If you are on a 32-bit i386 host, it's not very hard. Niklas maecky wrote: Hi! I was wondering if somebody uses FreeBSD to develop Android applications and is able to debug on the phone? I am just able to mount the G1 to read from the sd card but my phone isn't listed using adb devices. If anyone could help, I would be grateful.

[android-beginners] Re: why doesn't this work? Simple question - I hope...
Ah, I see. Now it makes sense. So why even bother with Calendar, then? I should just use the Gregorian Calendar. I read about the different Calendars available (from non-Sun companies, like IBM), but I didn't realize it was implemented in this way. I love OOP programming, but coming from an old Basic background, sometimes things slip by me. Well, maybe more than sometimes. :) Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Question about the int bundle
On Dec 25, 11:44 am, Zi Yong Chua chu...@gmail.com wrote:
Sorry I am noob here and learning about the basics about android..
May I know what is the differences between the bundles? I search
around and there is not much comments on the bundles as far as I can
find...
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
From what I know is savedInstanceState is the save state when the
activity goes to onPause/onStop.. What about icicle?
In Java, you can name variables whatever you want (given minor
restrictions on punctuation and stuff).
So:
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
and:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
and:
public void onCreate(Bundle quitWorryingAboutTheName) {
super.onCreate(quitWorryingAboutTheName);
are all the same thing.
The name originally was icicle because onSaveInstanceState() used to
be called onFreeze().

[android-beginners] Google Apps for Business - No Android Support?
I would like to use my G1 with my business account. This account is not the regular GMail account but the kind where you have Google manage your domain. They do your email, chat, calendar, docs, etc. It is a very nice service by the way. But it does not seem Android supports any of this? You cannot register your phone with anything but a regular gmail.com address. You cannot use the GTalk client on Android with anything but the gmail.com chat name. I would love to be able to use the built in chat and gmail client using my business apps account, but doesn't seem possible (Note: you can use the email cllient and googles imap service). I found this link with lots of blackberry info but not much about android: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/mobile.html Anyone know how to get the business app accounts working? Anyone know if this is coming soon? Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Finding My Location using Maps on G-1
rcupry...@gmail.com wrote: This is less of a programming question, rather a functional question. When I go to Maps and from the menu request My Location it takes eternity for the phone to show my current location, like 30 minutes or more. I tried this feature is several Dallas location, always with the same results. Does anybody has a different experience? I was hoping to see the change in my location when driving my car around, but I guess I was just dreaming. Anybody has any comments on this feature? I'm in Detroit and have not yet seen GPS actually give a result... I haven't waited any longer than a minute or so, but even that seems excessive. My old Verizon enV (LG VX9900) picks up the GPS signal just about everywhere, but I couldn't get a GPS response outside on a clear day with the G1. I've contacted T-Mobile's support [via email] to see if I may have a phone with defect GPS, but I'm still waiting for a response. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

I'm currently up in Vancouver on vacation from California with my unlocked G1. I took it down to the local mall to see if I can get a pre-pay plan that does data, and I was basically told that I'd have to sign up for a contract plan on Rogers, so it sounds like your scenario above applies. One of the employees at the store volunteered his SIM card to see if the phone's data capabilities could be tested, but it didn't work. I'm guessing I would need to enter in the Rogers APN information into the phone before data will start working. For what it's worth, T-Mo's data roaming is not working here either, the only way I'm getting data service at the moment is WiFi.
