Normally, when you export it's for a production / release build, which requires a corresponding production / release Maps API key.

Just add the relevant view before or after the MapView and deal with it like any other activity. Although I would question the idea of using half the screen to the left or right for this. Most phones are held vertically, meaning they're longer from top to bottom than side-to-side. If you're going to split this narrow space in half, it's going to look really strange. Splitting the screen vertically would make more sense IMO. --------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

It should be the latter.

I think if you want to modify this on the global level - for yourself you'll have to build your own firmware and put it on your device. I don't know what this involves as I've not done it myself, but you could probably get better info on the Android Porting group. If you want to contribute these changes to the official build, check the Android source project page (http://source.android.com/source/index.html) and start reading up on how to do so.

And there's "date and time selection activity", so you couldn't start one up to allow the user to pick a date and time. In general, an intent is used to pass data along to some other system (activity, service, whatever) have it receive it, do something with it, and possible send something back. In this case, there wouldn't be anything (by default) to receive a generic "date and time picker" intent. ----- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

This means exactly what it says - that the method you're using,
distanceBetween, is not defined for the type for which you're trying to use
it.
You use it like this:
float[] results = new float[1]; // 1, 2 or 3 depending on what information
you want
Location.distanceBetween(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, results);
float distance = results[0];

Yup - but due to how many posts you threw together in a short period, the amount of unformatted and irrelevant code, and your terrible grammar - I don't think anyone is taking you seriously.

Weirdness - have you tried putting a break point right before the Double.parse(value) call and see the value of the string there? Don't do trim() or any that Scanner stuff - it should not be necessary (assuming of course the value is actually a double). ----- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

Just to be clear - you don't have to load up the emulator each time you run your app. You should load it once (which is known to take quite some time) and then leave it up as long as you're working on your project (or something goes wrong with Eclipse / adb / DDMS , etc, forcing you to restart). ----- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

Wait for it to boot. Unlock the screen if necessary. Then try running your app, selecting the emulator instance as your target.
