[android-beginners] The use of Eclipse for android development
I'm beginning to investigate the android development env and see that Eclipse is heavily promoted for both editing and debugging. How integrated, or how important, is the use of Eclipse for android development? Will I be losing out by using another editor (I use vi)? And what about debugging? From experience, I know that some companies heavily promote one tool and focus their help in that one area -- often ignoring the rest. Often times developers end up with insufficient assistance if they don't go along with the status quo since documentation is concentrated around their tool(s) of choice. Anyone NOT using Eclipse? what are your (horror) stories for android development? Those using Eclipse, how well did you adapt to Eclipse and the android plugin? thanks much, -- Brad Fuller --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Re: The use of Eclipse for android development
Thanks Ralf and Ian. I too use vi so it's good to know that it works well for you. I've started using it yesterday and compiled and ran the source demos fine. It sure seems like there's a lot of "stuff" in eclipse to learn, though. I'm used to Smalltalk environment with its integrated "everything". Eclipse seems the way to go, though. Guess I'll start learning it. (sigh, yet another tool to learn...> Thanks again! brad -- Brad Fuller --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

did you try "localhost"? as the address (or 127.0.0.1) On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 7:17 AM, isisagate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am trying to develop an Android app that connects to a tomcat web > service and want to be able to load it off my local machine. > > In my host file on my windows dev machine I have the service's URL > defined and tomcat running, however when i try to load the page it > says it cannot find it.

[android-beginners] Re: The use of Eclipse for android development
Thanks Fabor. Seems we are in the same boat, preferring vi and command line for Java programming. I think my experience in Smalltalk is both beneficial and detrimental to learning Eclipse. While I know Java, (and have done Brew and J2ME) Eclipse is only a bit like Smalltalk class browsers and Java certainly ain't Smalltalk!

[android-beginners] Anatomy of receiving a call
Is there documentation available that details, or can someone tell me, what happens in Android when a phone call is coming in? I guess that would include the detection of the incoming call, how the RingToneManager is called, how it goes off-hook, etc. -- Brad Fuller --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
