[android-beginners] List of Android Apps
Is there a place with a list of Android Applications? Somewhat like the Apple store.

[android-beginners] Re: Why isn't this layout file working?
You want to use the XML attribute *android:layout_weight=1* so that the element will take up as much space as it can. I edited your layout and posted a working version below. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:orientation=vertical android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent TableLayout android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content TableRow TextView android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=Artist android:padding=10sp / EditText android:layout_weight=1 android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_marginRight=10sp android:singleLine=true / /TableRow TableRow TextView android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=Title android:padding=10sp / EditText android:layout_weight=1 android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_marginRight=10sp android:singleLine=true / /TableRow /TableLayout /LinearLayout On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 10:25 AM, Znupi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's what I want: two simple input fields, one labeled Artist and one Title.

[android-beginners] Re: Hardware
I don't believe Google has any say on how individual phones are sold. Just like Ubuntu doesn't have much say on how Dell sells computers on how they sell Ubuntu computers. At least that is my understanding. If you want to be mad at anyone for the 2 year contract be mad at T-mobile. But as Mark said the 2 year contract is typical of buying almost any mobile phone. On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 4:00 AM, Mark Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ron Pinkas wrote: What gives? How could you advocate freedom, open source, etc., when you try to force your clients into 2 years conracts with an exclusive provider? HTC and T-Mobile are welcome to do what they want; it's a part of free-market economies. It is fairly common in the US for phones to be subsidized and, therefore, SIM-locked and tied to a two-year contract. Off the top of my head, I'm not aware of any major US wireless carrier that *doesn't* work this way. HTC is welcome to sell un-badged/unlocked HTC Dream phones, if their contract with T-Mobile allows it. I have no idea if it does or not -- the terms of HTC's and T-Mobile's contract are (presumably) private to their firms. Again, welcome to the free-market economy. I get the impression that HTC's typical contracts don't allow them to directly sell such devices in the US market, but that they can sell them elsewhere, allowing resellers to bring them stateside. Watch the sites of your favorite mobile device resellers, or watch eBay. Also, there may be markets that Deutsche Telekom/T-Mobile enter that require unlocked phones. Not every country supports the US phone distribution model. So it may be that, where you are, you will be able to get one unlocked and without a contract from the start. Also also, I've heard that T-Mobile will unlock your G1 for you after 90 days, but I don't recall seeing a definitive statement from T-Mobile confirming that point. So, rolling back to your original point, if you have proof that HTC and T-Mobile wanted to buck tradition and sell unsubsidized/unlocked phones in the US market, and Google forced them at gunpoint to do otherwise, please post a link! While I understand that more phones from more vendors may ultimately become available, this does not change the fact that the only hardware currently available is not at all availble in the true meaning of the word. This is an issue for HTC, and secondarily T-Mobile. Google is more involved than, say, the Apache Foundation, but the whole *point* of Android is to create an open source mobile operating system that firms could use with no strings attached. No strings attached means just that -- and in the US market, requiring unsubsidized/unlocked phones would be considered a substantial string. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: With no previous programming knowledge / experience, how do I get started creating an app?
The eclipse plugin does a lot of things. It lets you set up a run configuration so that it will load your program in the android emulator when you are testing it. It updates your resources class whenever you add new stuff. It sets up a basic template program for you to start with. And I am sure a bunch of other things that I probably take for granted, due to the fact I haven't tried programming android without it. However, I am sure I would be lost without it.

There's a tidbit about it in the FAQs stating that it makes creating apps for Android easier, but what does it actually do that makes it easier? Is it the conversion tool that converts Java to Dalvik? Is it a GUI that does coding in Java without actually typing out Java code (kind of like VB where you have windows and such and you move them around and set value having it do the real coding behind the scenes)?

Java is a good place to start in many cases. Check out the following books from your library or college library: 1. Absolute Java by Walter Savitch (3rd edition) 2. Java Foundations: Introduction to Program Design and Data Structures by John Lewis 3. Also check out this free online course offered by MIT (you don't have to register): Introduction to Computer Science and Programming http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science. .. 4. A free online book: Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel: http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/ 5. And don't forget the official Java API: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/ All of these resources should get you started. Remember that programming is more than just memorization. Try to use first principles by understanding how a computer (or virtual machine in this case) is doing its job. Once you understand the core of it, you can program in any language. All of the suggestions above assume no previous knowledge (except number 5, but take a look at it anyway). Don't get discouraged. Programming can be hard, but remember that sometimes people make it hard because they don't remember what it's like to be a beginner. You should feel lucky that Google has done such a good job on documenting how to get started. Try to have fun. The first two books can be expensive (try to buy used) but they are pretty good. Don't forget to check your local library and ask if they have a state-wide book sharing program. Maybe another library will lend it to them. If you have trouble and can't get a book, get in touch with me. I'll be happy to send you one of mine, I have extra copies.

Restart Eclipse, let the auto-update run. Then go to Help / Software Updates; check Show Only the Latest Versions of Available Software. Then check http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede and select the following packages: Java Development Web and Java EE Development Click Install and wait for the updates to be downloaded / installed. Restart Eclipse when asked. Now close Eclipse. Unpack the SDK in a directory. Start Eclipse, go to Help / Software Update, click on Add Site, enter the URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ Click on Install. It should work as advertised!

When I click the Install button a progress bar comes up and says Calculating requirements and dependencies. Then it just sits there and doesn't do anything. I've tried leaving it there for some time, but nothing changes. I have tried downloading the package and installing it locally too, but I got the same issue. Also, I have tried redownloading different versions of Eclipse, but that didn't seem to help either. I am new to Eclipse and Android so any help would be greatly appreciated.
