Funny this is a topic that deals with something all Developers should know about.

[android-beginners] Re: Should anyone be allowed to alter Android OS and Applications?
Understood but they come with the phone already so what is the big deal? It is not like CM is altering the Google Applications. He is altering the OS. On Sep 26, 10:09 pm, Jeffrey Blattman jeffrey.blatt...@gmail.com wrote: unfortunately, it's not that simple. there are parts of android dists like CM that are not in AOSP. the google apps are a major, glaring example. their license clearly does not allow them to be re-distributed. so you can make a custom android dist, but it can't include google mail, google maps, google contacts, etc. the analogy would be if you created a custom linux dist and bundled a bunch of for-pay, closed-source software with it. no one would question why that is illegal. i think a lot of people just assume that those google android apps are open source. they aren't.

[android-beginners] Re: syncing with pc
No there is no data sync application for Android. But you can mount the SD card as an external drive and drag and drop any data to your PC. The real question is what do you want to transfer? Contacts and Calendar? Cause if that is all you want to copy, that is stored via Google e-mail and calendar. So, there is no need to sync that data. What else would you want to sync?

The app provides some data entry capability, then the user connects it to the pc and view these data in a desktop version of the app. Will android be a good platform for what I described? Does it provide interface for syncing with pc and proprietory data transfer? thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Battery Level Monitoring
I hope you get something developed and posted to the market. If you do, try to add features like selecting any supported sound file for the alert as well as what percetage and maybe even a few profiles that can be select and configured like (Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-fi, 3G all either on or off) from inside the tool! I know if you get one that works right I would pay for that download! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Manipulate 2D View in 3D OpenGL
actually they are using the street view and I think this means it is only possible were street view can be used.

But check out the PolyToPoly API Graphics demo which shows how to transform a canvas to make it look 3D without opengl. I havnt really looked over MapView to see if this method is possible, but if it can be applied to MapView, i think it would do the trick.

Hey if you get this to work then maybe we can get something like a 3D turn by turn driving direction program for Google finally!

[android-beginners] Re: Manipulate 2D View in 3D OpenGL
If you get this up and running I know I would like to see a copy of it. I am really looking for something to replace my MobileNavigator from Navigon. And it would seem that none of the navigation software companies are going to support Android since when I asked if they would they all said.. At this time we have no projects in the works to support the Google Android OS. On Oct 10, 11:36 am, sandroid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, that's the right idea. Right now I'm looking into the getDrawingCache() routine which returns a bitmap. Then I might load that bitmap into a view with OpenGL enabled. Unfortunately, the only code examples I have found for getDrawingCache() are only snippets of code and I can't tell when or where I should call the routine.
