The best way to start is to look at the samples that come with your SDK: * LunarLander * Snake Try to modify them somehow. This should give you a good start.

[android-developers] Re: Instrumentation failing with classnotfound on android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner
Hi Megha,
I did not notice that no, was looking at the site. I tried to add the
second androidManifest to my project under the "acceptance" folder
which is my test folder. When I try to compile and install the app
onto the device, I get the following error:
08-23 07:58:21.129: WARN/PackageParser(54): Unable to read
AndroidManifest.xml of /data/app/vmdl31345.tmp
08-23 07:58:21.129: WARN/PackageParser(54):
java.io.FileNotFoundException: AndroidManifest.xml
I did follow the instruction on changing the package name etc... I
have several questions:
1. Do I need to have the instrumentation in another app - thus
installing 2 different apps (signing them correctly I suppose)?
2. Why do you use the permission run_instrumentation? I thought there
was no need for it in 0.9?
More documentation here would be much appreciated indeed!
Thanks,
Car aka acsia

[android-developers] Re: Text2Speech now hosted at google code
Good idea to go open source! In what state is the code? Does it work already? Is it necessary to create a separate Android branch (which may complicate future development), or could one contribute code changes back to the FreeTTS project so that it becomes compatible with Android?

[android-developers] Re: New gmail account cannot use gtalk service?
I don't know why it is, but I think you should introduce the JID at the end of the email address. Just like this: mGTalkBilliardSession.sendDataMessage(dest+"/ androidwCxwXphYj3JM", intent); This JID is the same for every acount, so just put it at the end, and the error will disappear.

[android-developers] Re: text color won't change for TextView.setEnabled(false)
If I remove the line of "android:textColor", it backs to normal.
But I think the current scheme is still having a big problem for
developer.
For example, I created a TextView object with
Then, I set the text using
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("This is a
test."));
You can see that the colors of TextView won't be changed to dim color.
It does not have this problem in m5.
Is there any API for me to call for graying a TextView?

[android-developers] Overlay never displayed in MapView
Dear all,
I am facing an issue with an overlay display (again while migrating to
0.9).
I add an verlay this way
Log.d("MAP", "add overlay");
myMapOverlay = new MyStationsOverlay(this, nearestFullStations);
mapViewFromXML.getOverlays().add(myMapOverlay);
mapViewFromXML.postInvalidate();
But the draw (I have specific process during the draw) method inside
my Overlay is never called ! SO the overlay never displays what I
expect.
Thanks for your help.
PS : the running code on the previous SDK was like :
Log.d("MAP", "add
OverlayController myOC = mapViewFromXML.createOverlayController();
myMapOverlay = new MyMapOverlay (this, nearestFullStations);
myOC.add(veloidMapOverlay, true);

[android-developers] bindService / unbindService - Recognized some pretty wired behavior
While trying to safe my threads I recognized something pretty wired which I don't really understand. 1) I'm binding to my service with bindService(..) in onCreate() 2) onServiceConnected() gets called 3) Inside the method onServiceConnected I'm calling unbindService() (just for testing) 4) Directly after unbindService() I'm starting a new background thread 5) Inside the thread I'm calling methods with my service object inside the service And this is working. But why is this working? After unbindService(...) onServiceDisconnected gets called and the IMyService object is set to null. So why can I use the object in my background thread? In addition I recognized some different behaviour and that's what I was doing: 1) I'm binding to my service with bindService(..) in onCreate() 2) onServiceConnected() gets called, inside the method I'm starting a background thread 3) I'm communicating with my service through the object obtained in onServiceConnected 4) I'm trying to call unbindService() from inside my backrgound thread but also from outside Result: When unbindService(..) gets called I'm getting a "service not registered" exception. But why? I thought that I'm understanding the picture but that left me with a wired felling. I don't really know whats happening. I'm looking forward reading your thoughts.

[android-developers] Sensor values returned by tricorder
Hi, I've seen excitedly that the improved sensor classes SensorManager and SensorListener allow for a fully functional Tricorder. http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/hardware/SensorManager.html#SENSOR_TRICORDER I'm so thankful that it returns values in SI units :-) but would be happy to know the order of the various sensor data returned. Also, there seem to be two general types: a standard tricorder and a medical one ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricorder ). Can I assume the standard one is implemented? Would the tricorder also work correctly if gravity is as low as on the death star ( http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/hardware/SensorManager.html#GRAVITY_DEATH_STAR_I )?

[android-developers] Re: How to display a local file in the browser?
In that case you should use the content provider option mentioned
earlier...Using a content provider would allow images as the content
provider would be used for image loading too. Another alternative is to put
the image inline, using the data:// scheme.

[android-developers] Does anyone has the slide bar code used in music player ?
In music players, there always a sliding bar with a moving small ball to indicate how long is the music and how many minutes music has been played? Is there any sample code for that? Thanks!

Yes. It's a new widget in 0.9r1 called a "seek bar". There is an API demo for it.
