 Hi, thanks for your interest.

 I've tested many streams, but the following is the the most
conservative one.
 Video frame is 176x144, 8 fps.
 Video bitrate is around 64kbps, audio bitrate is 80kbps.
 I think this happens only with H.264 video. (base profile)

 The video player I used to test were two. One is Meridian Video
Player downloaded from android market and the other is my own
developed one (they show me the same result).
 I used android sdk r2 with g1 phone rc30.

 The log is like the following.

 I couldn't find what those error message means.

 Also, as I know g1 phone uses QDSP to decode MPEG4 video and H.264
video. Am I right?

Best regards,
 Jeff.

[android-developers] Re: What determines Android Market popularity ranking

[Chister Nordvik]

Would you share the percentage of active installs? My app is around
40-50% and while the rating is now 4.40, the app goes lower and lower
on the popularity rating. Maybe Google doesn't like my app? :-)

[android-developers] Re: how to test the existence of a specific activity ?

[Al Sutton]

getPackageManager() in a Context gives you one of these; 
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html

You can then use 
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getActivityInfo(android.content.ComponentName,%20int)
 
If you know the package class name, or 
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getInstalledApplications(int)
 
if you just want to have a rummage through whats installed.

[android-developers] Re: How to use proxy server on the g1?

[Al Sutton]

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to write an app. The source for 
the proxy settings page is in;

/packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/ProxySelector.java

in the git repository, so couldn't someone write an app using that, add 
in some buttons to change configuration and some optional Geo-location 
to switch proxy settings automatically based one where you are and it'll 
probably be a popular app.

Or is it another piece of  functionality limited to the in-crowd who can 
get their app signed with the right certificate?

[android-developers] Re: LocationManager causes application to crash

Mark,
Thanks for the reply, but I guess all permissions are in right place
as they are reflected in the Eclipse's view as well.

JS,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I'm able to see all the permissions
in the Eclipse's view but still application crashes.
No joy, we're really stuck here.

Any other idea what we might be missing??

[android-developers] Re: how to update list

[for android]

In your adapter class u will be having the constructor something like this:
public class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
   private List myList;
public MyAdapter(Context context, int rowResID,
List myList)
   this.myList= myList;
 }
 Other methods
 public void changeListContent(List myList){
this.myList= myList;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}


Now whenever u need to show a different set of data,u need to call the
changeListContent

[android-developers] Playing an audio file during a call

[Mak]

I want to accept incoming calls and play an audio file for the caller.
Is there a possibility of playing an audio file during a phonecall,
so that the caller hears a wav- file?
It seems to me that nothing is possible during a phone call since
release 1.0.
Hope this is getting better in the next release.
Has anybody information about the next release?

I think the answer is no.

You will find a Base64 encoder/decoder here:

It seems that it has been used with some success already.

[android-developers] Re: How to acquire device name with code

[Stanley.lei]

Hi Jerry,

I have tested this solution. But unfortunately it seems not work.

I wanna know the list device name with command "adb devices", which
could be used as the serial number in the command "adb -s
serial_number shell" to login shell, but the constants in class Build
doesn't contain this information.

So any other comments?

Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Compare Mobile Platforms

[MMI]

Simple, with around 7Mio sold IPhones and a more or less working shop
system, go for it for "fast" money. Android will need at least 1 year,
more likely 2 years to catch up with them. But it depends on the app
you want to write, if you write a business app, go for RIM (now) or
android (perhaps for long term), if you want to write games, i would
primary target the iPhone. It also depends on your knowledge, if you
are an java programmer, with no experience to objective-c or at least
C, stick to android.

As developer i like the android plattform best :)

[android-developers] OpenGL ES 1.1 - Point Sprites

[hbk723]

The documentation says that OpenGL ES 1.1 support is "not complete".
Does this mean that if a method is provided it should work or that
some methods provided in the API don't work?

For example, I would like to be able to use some of the
GL_POINT_SPRITE_OES stuff. I have noticed that if you cast a GL10 to a
GL11 (casting doesn't throw an exception but I'm not sure if simply
casting between the two will actually work), you can call some
functions like glPointSizePointerOES() that don't exist under GL10.
Should I be able to assume these methods would work?

 Hi,

Here i'm posting my SDK 1,5, based on Latest Cupcake
source code, and this SDK includes the media files, that normally are

the SDK is ok, and the documentation also. The plugin is also there.

[android-developers] how to remove application specific data

When an application is installed , it preserves the data of previously

Is there any registry or some location where an application can store data
and it gets automatically wiped out when application is uninstalled ?

[android-developers] how to completely wipe out the application data

[shahzad ahmad]

I'm developing an application which downloads a file from FTP server. The
code first checks if file is present on local system . If it is not present
on local system then it downloads it from FTP server. Application must
download file from FTP server when it executes first time after getting
installed.

If we reinstall the application , android preserves the data of old
application .So now application finds the file on local system and does not
download it from FTP server. But it should always download the file on first
execution after fresh install.

Is there any way to completely wipe out the previous application data on
fresh install ?

Is there any registry or some location where an application can store data
and it gets automatically wiped out when application is uninstalled ?

Sorry, the decoders don't expose per-frameness yet.

It may seem awkward, but you can load a Movie, and then draw each

separate files.

[android-developers] Re: Unofficial SDK 1.5 with Media Files

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

This is off-topic for android-developers, which focuses on using the
official SDK. Please move this to android-discuss.

Note to developers: applications developed with unofficial SDKs,
especially those that come from in-progress source trees, and
especially those that explicity expose more APIs than the regular
source tree, are at a high risk of not being compatible with current
and future releases of Android.

Creating such applications (which are likely to not work in the
future) hurts the entire Android ecosystem by giving the perception
that upgrades hurt application compatibility, even though the Android
team takes application compatibility very seriously.

[android-developers] Problem

[Alowishus]

Okay Gang,

Here is the problem, I am building an application and have multiple
images that need to switch when the user touches the screen, doesn't
matter where the users touches. The press the screen and the images
switch randomly. I purchased the ebook "Professional Android
Application Development" and have torn though it. I am stumped. I'm
thoroughly confused at this point. Any ideas on where I can go or how
I can accomplish this?

The simpler the terms you can put it in the better.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

[android-developers] windowAnimationStyle - ignored in theme?

Hi,

I'd like to have some fancy effects on my Activities when entering or
exiting.

So I tried to use theming.

But it seems that it's completly ignored?

themes.xml (activated in Manifest)
@style/Animation.Activity

styles.xml


@anim/fade_in
@anim/fade_in
@anim/fade_in
@anim/fade_in


fade_in.xml

AFAIK, support for that was cut out as part of releasing the newer
versions of the SDK.

The Development.APK allows you to enable slide animations for opening
and closing activities across the board, but I'm not aware of a
supported way to do it on a per-activity basis today.

I would recommend you put metadata in your file itself that indicates
what version of your app the file supports. Rather than the rule be
"should always download the file on first execution", the rule should be
"should always examine the metadata and download the file if it is needed".

[android-developers] Re: Am I missing something really dumb.

[Al Sutton]

dataURI is a content provider URI 
(content://com.funkyandroid.provider.test/) which is created using 
Uri.parse.

I can't see a way to specify a MIME type in Uri.parse or in the 
resulting Uri object, so am I still missing something?

[android-developers] [help] - Choosing the right adapter

[Alex55]

Hello Community,

I am having a hard time figuring out what adapter should I use to
accomplish the following.

Currently, I'm using an Array Adapter that is connected to an
ArrayList. It is populating a simple_list_item_1 type of ListView with
the information found in the Array.

My list was very functional, until I realized that I needed to
populate an existing TextView field with an Int[] Array. After doing
some reading I realized that ArrayAdapter will only let me populate
from 1 ArrayList.

Here is what my ListView looks like:

___
||
| TextView1   TextView3  |
| TextView2|
|__|
||
| TextView1   TextView3  |
| TextView2|
|__|
||
| TextView1   TextView3  |
| TextView2|
|__|


I am currently Overriding my getView so that I can control my list on
a per row basis.

TextView1 comes from the ArrayList
TextView2 comes from an IF statement (no auto populate required)
TextView3 needs to come from an int Array.



The following are code snippets for my Adapter:


Adapter call:
Java:


public ArrayAdapter aa;

aa = new IconicAdapter(this);

myListView.setAdapter(aa);



Subclassing and extending Adapter:
Java:
class IconicAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
Activity context;

IconicAdapter(Activity context) {
super(context, R.layout.custom_layout,
R.id.custom_textfield, arrLIST);

this.context=context;
}


  public View getView(int position, View convertView,
ViewGroup parent) {





How would I need to modify my code in order to achieve this?

Appreciate your help,
Best Regards,

Alex

[android-developers] Using resources from android.R.drawable

[Andreas Frey]

Hi,

is it allowed to use resources (images, etc) from android
(android.jar) inside my own application? I did not find anything about
this topic in the FAQ.

Technically this is no problem, but is it legal? I would prefer to use
the provided images to have an adequate look and feel.

Can you provide a link to the terms of use, where this question is
answered?

Many thanks in advance

[android-developers] Building Dalvik

[Kieran Bingham]

Hi,
I've used repo to get android - and wanted to build -but get the
following error.
It looks like some environment variable somewhere is getting messed up
- but I'm having difficulty following it through the build system.

In particular,
*dalvik/libcore//home/kbingham/projects/android/dalvik/libcore/sub.mk:
No such file or directory*

looks like somehow the prefixing of the android_root folder has been
prefixed (or not separated) with the subdirectory of the dalvik ?

Can anyone help me with the following ?

[android-developers] Re: Parsing RSS feeds, encoding problems

[Ayusman]

Hey Guys,

Go for this:

JavaScript:
=
/*Place this code externally*/
/* Function Used to Display Months in Words as Jan, Feb...*/
  function WordMonth(intMonth){
  var MonthArray = new Array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",
"Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")
  return MonthArray[intMonth]
}

/*Function Used to Fetch RSS Feeds from Other websites to yours...It
works with BoDY ONLOAD Functionality!*/
function GetRSSNews(){
  /*First*/

/*You can set as much as you want to display Feeds*/
 var iMax = 20

/*ActiveX Object Initialization*/
 var rssDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
 rssDoc.async = false


/*Insert your Required URL to be fetched>>For a test I have taken BBC
Feeds*/
 rssDoc.load("http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/
front_page/rss.xml")

 /*You can assume it as DOM Structure of a XML Document for Logical
Means*/
 var headNode = rssDoc.selectNodes("/rss/channel")
 var itemNodes = rssDoc.selectNodes("/rss/channel/item")

 /*Condition to check if Length of item Nodes is greater or lesser

 if(itemNodes.length" +

(0).text  +""

}


myFeeds.innerHTML  = feedBody


}

=

HTML:
=
/*Place this code in the same folder assigning a name;eg:
index.html>>Also check for the paths I have used to call the

[android-developers] Us this for your Feeds!

[Ayusman]

Hi Folks,

Place the following code in an external javascript file:


/* Function Used to Display Months in Words as Jan, Feb...*/
  function WordMonth(intMonth){
  var MonthArray = new Array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",
"Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")
  return MonthArray[intMonth]
}

/*Function Used to Fetch RSS Feeds from Other websites to yours...It
works with BoDY ONLOAD Functionality!*/
function GetRSSNews(){
  /*First*/

/*You can set as much as you want to display Feeds*/
 var iMax = 20

/*ActiveX Object Initialization*/
 var rssDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
 rssDoc.async = false


/*Insert your Required URL to be fetched>>For a Ref, I have used BBC
Feed*/
 rssDoc.load("http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/
front_page/rss.xml")

 /*You can assume it as DOM Structure of a XML Document for Logical
Means*/
 var headNode = rssDoc.selectNodes("/rss/channel")
 var itemNodes = rssDoc.selectNodes("/rss/channel/item")

 /*Condition to check if Length of item Nodes is greater or lesser
than the Parameter used to get no. of items displayed*/
 if(itemNodes.length" +
itemNodes.item(i).getElementsByTagName("title").item

(0).text  +""

}

myFeeds.innerHTML  = feedBody

}


Place the following code in HTML file:

Please make sure that who ever using my code is changing the
Javascript location path as per their need.

Hope this works out for all those having problems in fetching RSS
Feeds using JavaScript!

[android-developers] Problem with setTheme() method

[orbit]

I am trying to create a simple dialog activity.

If i add: android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" to my 
tag in my AndroidManifest.xml everything works as it is supposed to. I
get a frame around my text and the background gets dimmed.

If i however instead if setting the theme in my manifest call setTheme
(android.R.style.Theme_Dialog); from my activities onCreate method
things get strange. I get the frame alright but the background in
black! not dimmed as it should be.

Can anyone help me out?

I think that would be workable. A button for anyone to report spam for
review would be expensive, but would work as well. Easiest would be
that you, the owner of the app, can delete comments. That would kind
of defeat the purpose of sincere communcation and would essentially
make the comments your ad.

I absolutely disagree that you should be able to block certain users
from getting your app, however stupid they are.

[android-developers] Error on AndroidManifest.xml..

[ritter.han]

  Hi, all.

  I'm trying to build the full Cupcake source code,
  And succeeded on my local Linux box.
  But once I copy the same source code to the remote server (Linux
based server)
  it returns the error like as below.

  target R.java/Manifest.java: Development (out/target/common/obj/APPS/
Development_intermediates/src/R.stamp)
  development/apps/Development/AndroidManifest.xml: 74: ERROR Error:
String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 'keyboard|
keyboardHidden|navigation|orientation').
  make: *** [out/target/common/obj/APPS/Development_intermediates/src/
R.stamp] Error 1

  I tried ro delete out folder and 'make clean' also, but failed.

  Please tell me why the same source code return the error like the
above only in the remote server.
  Again, the smae one had been built on my local Linux box (Ubuntu).

  Thanks in advance.
  Shwan.

[android-developers] TabHost in TabHost

[drago]

Hi,
I have one problem:
I create main TabActivity with external TabHost which consists of 3
tab activities. 1st and 3rd is a simple activities each of which
contains control button and EditText  2nd is also internal TabActivity
with only one tab. This tab contains one button. When I try switch
from this tab to any tabs of external main TabHost (manually by
clicking on TabWidget or programmatic by button clicking with API
function setcurrentTab(3)) then switched tab controls lost focus and
any controls aren't editable. I know that I miss something, but I
didn't understand what exactly wrong. If I switch only 1st and 3rd
tabs and didn't enter to the 2nd, I can edit both EditTexts in this
tabs. When I click to the second tab, factory creates content for the
second tab view with internal TabHost and now, any attempt to edit
EditText in 1st or 3rd shifts focus from EditText to the Buttons
(actually to the first control in activity)
Is there anything that i can try to avoid this problem? Thanks.

I intend to participate in an online developing-competition. At the

a package that includes everything that is needed to start the

an application for android but I'm not so sure if it is allowed to
pack the Emulator with my project!?
I can't find something about that in the license.

[android-developers] Storing data in the APK after creating it

[Yorgos]

Hello,

This issue has troubled me a lot, please help if you have any ideas.

- I am accessing an xml file from withing the apk, (stored in /res/
raw). The xml is read succesfully. My goal is to use this xml file as
data that can be changed in the apk.

- I tried unpacking and packing the apk file with ZIP compression and
the newly packed apk worked on the phone.

- I changed the xml file and packed the contents of the apk into a new
apk

- "install was unsuccesful" was the result of installing the new apk

As I see it, for every file stored into the apk, there are equivalent
references stored in the manifest and cert files:

for example:
SHA1-Digest: YS8iSCii71WMNrK7CHy5XLXBo+k=

Do you have any other ideas of how I can store/alter information into
the APK?

Please help, this is urgent

I find the folder in android source code: frameworks\base\media\jni

I think thats the one you want. you can use the code as sample.

[android-developers] Re: Am I missing something really dumb.

[Peli]

In your provider, you should have a method getType(Uri uri) which
returns the MIME type of your Uri.

You should have defined it yourself as something like:
"vnd.android.cursor.dir/vnd.funkyandroid.provider.text"

and this is the MIME type that you have to declare in your intent
filter.

[android-developers] Re: Profiling Tools?

[Romain Guy]

Hi,

The SDK comes with traceview and DDMS to analyze performance. For
memory usage, you can use DDMS to track allocations and the state of
the heap. We are also working on ways to give SDK developers access to
a heap analysis tool.

[android-developers] Resource files XML imports

[Raja Nagendra Kumar]

Hi,

Does android resource files for values and layouts have any way to
import other xml files.

This is a good approach for products, where there is a core module and
many sub modules. The Submodule may also use some of the core defined
key value pairs etc.

Also, in case with a module, if the view is very complex.. better to
manage them as different xml's.

Are there any other approach to handle this.. by way R inheritance
etc.. I suppose only one R supported per application..

[android-developers] Re: Am I missing something really dumb.

[Peli]

Your intent has a deceptively looking dataURI. Your intent filter
should therefore contain the  tag with the corresponding
MIME type of the dataURI in order to match.

[android-developers] Re: What is the 'correct' way to set styles programmatically?

[Kennard Consulting]

Thanks again for your help, Dianne.

My apologies for not making myself clear: my original code was just a
hack. I would rather not manually retrieve the values and call setters
on a view.

So are you saying if I want to programmatically style a view I must
not use, say, 'new TextBox( context )' but rather 'new TextBox
( context, attributeSet )'? That's okay. In that case is there a way I
can obtain an AttributeSet given a style id?

For example, do I pass a home-made implementation of AttributeSet to
Theme.obtainStyledAttributes() and it will populate it for me? I tried
this in the past but there seemed to be some kind of hard-coded cast
to XmlBlock$Parser inside Theme.obtainStyledAttributes?

Regards,

Richard.

[android-developers] How to instrumentation clicking a button of dialog?

[Meryl Silverburgh]

Hi,

In my activity, I have code which create dialog like this with +ve and
-ve button each has its own click action:

protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case CONFIRM_DIALOG:
 // create my own dialog with positive and negative button...

 }
}

My question is how can I create instrumentation to emulate the click
on that button? That onClick() implementation calls a private method
of my activity.

new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int
whichButton) {
aPrivateMethodOfMyActivity();
}

Thank you.

[android-developers] Sdcard issue

[krish24]

Hi All,

We have ported android to our hardware. I am facing some issues
related to sdcard.

Here is the test scenario and issues:

First issue :

1>  On hardware, insert the card and copy a file to sdcard using dd
command.
2>  Remove the card from hardware.
3>  do ls /sdcard
It shows the file present in sdcard. It seems umount of sdcard device
is not happening.

Second issue:

1>  Copy a file to sdcard  using dd command.
2>  Remove the sdcard and check the content of the sdcard from PC.
File is not visible.
3>  Copy file to sdcard again and then  check the content of sdcard
from PC. File size is zero bytes.
4>  Restart the hardware and copy the file again. File is visible when
checked from PC.

Third issue:
1> The content of copied file are not matching with the original
source file.

Please share your Ideas, suggestions on how to fix this?

Regards,
krish

Personally, I made  two new packages within my app's package to handle 
the Apache Commons/Jakarta base-64 classes at 
http://commons.apache.org/codec/ . Since Android and the SDK already 
includes some of classes from that project, I don't know why they 
weren't already included, but they seem to work pretty well in my 
project at least.

[android-developers] Web services for mobile apps

[dbradby]

Hi Everyone,

We're been releasing quite a few iPhone and Android apps over the past
few months that have required various pieces of server side support.
Mostly we wanted to be able to control welcome messages, upgrade
notifications, collect errors and analytics. Having built all this
ourselves we now want to open it up to other mobile app developers.

Today we opened up shoutmob.com to developers who want to be part of
the beta.

We will be providing:

- broadcast messages (welcome, upgrade notifications)
- high score table storage and retrieval
- error collection
- usage statistics

 Developers who join up early will receive a signup bonus. So head
over to http://shoutmob.com?refcode=NoUtBO and sign up now.

Thanks!

Daniel

I'm not quite sure why you got the reaction you did. On the other hand,
I haven't played with low-level touch events, so I personally don't have
any specific advice to offer.

The SDK samples, like the ApiDemos, are a treasure trove for stuff like
this. If you can find a demo that does what you want, look at the source
code in your SDK's samples/ directory.

No, this is not supported. It requires access to in-call audio which

*shrug*

Look at it this way: if hundreds, if not thousands, of feed reader
programs can figure out how to cache feed results and only download
updates, one would think their patterns (e.g., metadata) might work in
your case.

> There should be some
> way out everything when an application is uninstalled

I think it is all removed on a true uninstall. An upgrade (adb install
-r, downloading an update from the Market) is not a true uninstall --
the presumption is the application wants that data.

Personally, I think it'd be nice to have hooks whereby if you, say,
supply your own Application class, that it would be called on these
sorts of events (onInstall(), onPreUpgrade(), onPostUpgrade(),
onUninstall()). But, such hooks do not exist today, AFAIK.

The constructive advice is justified. We all would like to help you,
but we don't know what your problem is:

Is your problem:
1) You don't know how to catch a touch event on the whole screen?
2) You don't know how to switch images?
3) You don't know how to display an image?
4) You don't know how to write an Android application?
5) You don't know anything about (Java) programming and just started?

Depending on what your true question is, the answer that may help you
may be quite different.

[android-developers] Properly rendering huge cursors of data in listview?

[dmyung]

Hello,

I've got a Listview in my activity with a cursor adapter and a view to
render the results.

When i return a rather large data set from my query (like say, 15,000
rows), the Listview.setadapter() call blocks on me and occasionally
gives me the dreaded ANR dialog.

I've tried various ways to background the operation.  Fetch the cursor
in a background thread, but that is a rather short operation since it
just returns a handle to the underlying dataset.

Obviously I can't background the loading of the adapter in the thread
because the setAdapter needs to be on the UI thread (i tried that and
got a nice exception and crash).

When setadapter is called, the app locks up while data is being
rendered in bindView() and newView().  Users have complained that it
looks like the app is frozen (which effectively it is), so they munge
around the menus and such while the operation is happening, causing
more havoc.

My current workaround involved doing a ViewSwitcher to put a little
progress widget to switch out while the listview is being rendered.
However, since it's on the UI thread, most if not all UI operations
get slammed.  Progress Dialogs don't show, the progress widget doesn't
animate, animation transitions cache weirdly.

The other workaround is to default to use smaller datasets which is
the more "duh" solution.  But the need will arise eventually to do
huge dataset queries and/or render more complex views within a
ListView...which I think will cause similar SetAdapter() blockages.

My question is this.

The API examples have the Inefficient list activity examples for
binding "slow" data on scroll events.  Is there a similar type of lazy
loading/fetching of data for a corresponding cursor adapter?  I want
to basically have a listview bound with a Cursor adapter ONLY render
the items in the visible view.  It seems like the cursorView sort of
does it already, but I was wondering if there was a way to tune the
amount of records it prefetches on intial rendering after setadapter
().  It seems to do way too much and it blocks the UI.

Many thanks.

Simple answer: Just re-run Ant to rebuild/resign your APK after
modifying the XML.

More complicated answer: Tease out the specific steps from Ant that will
achieve those ends. I think you will need aapt and apkbuilder at minimum.

[android-developers] Re: Storing data in the APK after creating it

[Dianne Hackborn]

An .apk is really just a zip file (and a jar file too), so in theory you can
use any zip tools you want on it, you just need to make sure that you
correctly re-sign it after making changes.  There is a caveat, however, that
aapt does a few special things to make sure to not compress certain files
and enforce alignment of uncompressed files for more efficient access at
runtime; you'll want to make sure you don't lose these things if using
normal zip tools.

The aapt command also has some zip-like options to add and remove files.

[android-developers] use of recovery for updates and recovery

[twebb]

Regarding recovery functionality, is platform/bootable/recovery the
place to focus or is is platform/recovery?  Has anyone ported this
code/functionality for use on another target?  I'm trying to implement
an update mechanism for a new android-based device.

Some other questions include...
Comments in recovery.c indicate that the recovery tool uses
commands written to and read from /cache/recovery/..., but code
(recovery.c) seems to show that the bootloader commands are read from
and written to the "misc" partition?  How do bootloader and recovery
command mechanisms work?

Thanks.

By "debug information" I assume you mean the local variable and line
number mapping tables. If not, please clarify. And if so:

I have to ask what your point is with the removal. If it's to save
space, then my bet is that the savings won't be significant enough to
bother. In particular, you can expect to save something like 10-15% of
your uncompressed dex file size, whereas in an apk the dex file is
compressed, and whereas in a typical app, the size of included media
resources (images, audio, etc.) probably dominate whatever the dex
savings are.

And with the info stripped out, you will of course no longer get
exception stack traces that have line numbers in them. Although
obviously you won't get feedback from everyone in the field who uses
your app and has trouble, just getting one good stack trace from the
field can be a godsend. Similarly, though you won't expect to hook a
debugger up to every broken instance of your app, the ability to do it
just once and see good local variable info can save you hours of
debugging time.

With that said, dx — the underlying tool used by the Eclipse plugin to
convert your code into a dex file — has options that cause it to omit
line number and/or local variable information ("--positions=none" and
"--no-locals" respectively). I don't believe the Eclipse plugin offers
you a way to include these options, though I could be wrong (sorry; I
don't use Eclipse myself). However, you can always call dx directly to
achieve whatever your goal is.

As a final note, if you are interested more in obfuscation than mere
space savings, you will probably want to run an obfuscator per se,
such as
ProGuard , over your class files
before converting them to a dex file. Again, I don't think the Eclipse
plugin gives you a way to do this, but with a normal shell command
line, it's easy enough to string together whatever tools you need.

I hope this helps.
