[android-beginners] Re: How to increase storage space in the emulator?

2009-01-30 Thread Meryl Silverburgh

Thanks. For my case, I am just running the application comes with
android sdk in the emulator. So i did not write the logic in how to
store the data.

Hence, i am not sure why it run out of space in the emulator.

[android-beginners] I got "Intent resolved to different package ..." Error

2009-01-30 Thread tester

Hi,
I was trying to develop some testcases againast Android Contacts and
when I try to run them, I got an java.lang.RuntimeExcecption: Intent
resolved to different package com.android.contacts: Intent
{ action=android.intent.action.MAIN flags=0x1000 comp=
{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.ContactsListActivity} }

(Instrumentation.java: 452)
at android.test.InstrumentationTestCase.launchActivity
(InstrumentationTestCase.java 77)
at android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase.setup
(ActivityInstrumentationTestCase.java 67)
..

My testing class is very simple, It just extended
ActivityInstrumentationTestCase and my test
method is to invoke Menu - ContactsListActivity.MENU_NEW_CONTACT to
add a new contact.

Doea anyone has the same experience and could share the reason with
me?

Thanks

[android-beginners] new dev question

2009-01-30 Thread merrick

i just joined the developer's team and wish to purchase the unlocked
phone but am uncertain if my service provider can carry it. i have a
sprint plan which is not sim-based operation, my question is: does the
unlocked dev version require or a sim card or can it be programmed to
operate on a sprint network? i can determine with my provider if so by
giving them a sample ESN from on the of the dev phones, but i'd rather
not purchase it to find out that i can't use it...

Sounds like a hardware or OS problem.  The android-porting list might

logcat is shorthand for adb logcat, also accessible as the error log
within DDMS or Eclipse. adb and DDMS are SDK tools, found in the tools/
directory of your SDK installation.

With respect to storage, though, if your emulator runs out of storage,
the answer may not be to increase storage in the emulator, but rather to
determine how better to store your data. If it does not fit in the
emulator, it may not fit on a real device. So, for example, large files
should go on the SD card, not in an application's own private files area.

[android-beginners] Re: Total noob

2009-01-30 Thread madcoder

Before you try to start coding I recommend learning the basics of the
IDE with the incredible and FREE tutorials here:

http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/index.html

There are four tutorials:

Using the Eclipse Workbench
Eclipse and Java for Total Beginners
Introducing Persistence
Using the Debugger

I suggest you follow them in that order.  Even though you may know
Java, I think following the 'Total Beginners" tutorial is well worth
learning how to do some nice trick with the editor.  If you complete
the tutorials, you will likely save MUCH more time when developing,
than trying to dive right in without a solid foundation on how to use
the editor.

I followed them all when I was first learning android, and the IDE is
a snap for me now.

when you are finished with the tutorials, you can look here for more
info on integrating JUnit tests with android:
http://dtmilano.blogspot.com/2008/11/android-testing-on-android-platf.html

Hope this helps
