Re: [android-developers] Any suggestions for Ad platform in addition to AdMob

[Miguel Morales]

I suggest you take a look at:
https://github.com/mopub/mopub-android-sdk/wiki/Getting-Started and
https://github.com/mopub/mopub-android-sdk/wiki/Banner-Integration

I'd probably stay away from low paying networks beside the ones stated
before.  Good luck.

[android-developers] Changed app from Paid to Free (with IAB)

[Eurig Jones]

Hey,

Yesterday I moved my app which was quite highly ranked from Paid to Free 
app with in app billing. The app instantly dropped to literal obscurity the 
second I did it. It was almost as if my ranking value in the database had 
been reset! 

Has anyone experienced this? Will the app recover in the next few days once 
the rankings get calculated again?

Thanks!

[android-developers] Why doesn't music visualization work on Jelly Bean?

[MobileVisuals]

Visualization for external players worked before, but it does not work on 
Jelly bean. I have played music with external players, like Spotify and 
Winamp, while debugging the apps. The bytes in the updateVisualizerFFT 
method are always 0 for external players, when a visualizer is created with 
0 as an argument:

new Visualizer(0);


This results in no visualization, since there is no signal to use for 
visualization. Do you know why this happens and how this can be fixed?


 It still works for internal players. I mean when the app has its own built 
in player. The bytes in the updateVisualizerFFT are not 0 then, so the app 
has something to use for visualization, even when the visualizer is created 
with 0 as an argument.

No one here knows the details, but since free and paid apps seem to be ranked
separately (Cf. 'Top paid' vs 'Top free'), your app is most likely
being treated as
new free app.

Well you are is now positioned against free apps so yes I would say it was 
'reset' - that is all signals that are used to position app (eg. number of 
downloads, active installs and whatnot) were collected and position in free 
list was calculated (probably way lower that in used to have in paid list 
since paid vs free dynamics differs dramatically).
tl;dr; My guess is that what you are seeing is you app current position in 
top free list and it will not change.

I doubt that is categorized as 'new', in this video from IO2013: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Od2SuL2igA it's clearly stated that 'new' 
period (first 30 days when app is eglible for being placed in Top New 
charts) start when app is first published (it may be reseted when app is 
changed from paid to free but I think it unlikely).

Re: [android-developers] want to be a game programmer.

[Michael Banzon]

Game programming is all fun and dandy... But the question that pops into my
mind is: What great game idea do you have? ;-)

Secondly: If the quest is to make a fantastic game you could start with the
Unity engine (or something like it) and don't concentrate that much about
the platform before you get to "know game development".

I started out using AndEngine. It's free, there are some samples and

[android-developers] Re: Add a contact via ContentProvider programmatically

[Nobu Games]

I'm not completely sure but I think you need to create separate inserts for 
the name and the phone number. So make a separate insert for the phone 
number and don't forget to set the correct mime type for that.

[android-developers] Re: How do I call a service, to retrieve data, from a content provider?

[user123]

Thanks. I also suspected that I'm overcomplicating it :)

The thing is, basically, that I saw this approach using a service in a 
Google IO talk about REST services (from 2010). Also, some code I worked 
with recently also used a service (but without content provider or database 
access). I thought this must have a reason, otherwise Loader or AsyncTask 
looks far more handy. Or in my case just calling it synchronously in the 
same thread where I'm accessing the content provider.

Recently I also read that the service is killed similarly to the activities 
when e.g. the system is low of memory. So it seems there's also not a 
higher reliability. In other words, I have no idea why this talk showed the 
use of services so frequently. Maybe because it's old (although at that 
time there were at least threads, and that's still more use friendly to 
call webservices than a service). 

The code I received, were there were also services, I guess this company 
also was inspired by the same talk.

Still I'm curious if there's a real reason to use a service only to call a 
webservice? Maybe somebody sees a point which I'm missing.

Re: [android-developers] Any suggestions for Ad platform in addition to AdMob

[limtc]

I tried out Inneractive before I saw your mail on this, so far I got about 
1/5th of the revenue I used to get from AdMob. I am not sure whether this 
is good or bad as this is a new update and probably only a fraction of the 
users upgraded, so we will continue to see what happened.

However, the SDK is really easy to use, I got it working the first time! 

PS: why do we choose its service? Because they just happened to contact us 
first and we got its ad service tested working on the first try which 
impressed us. Worth a try imho.

I suggest you take a look at:

[android-developers] How to Repeating android alarms

[askl]

Hello Friends,
How to repeat alarms for several day under the same ID.

*for ex:- i want to set alarm for 10:30 AM and Repeating Sunday, Monday and 
Friday.*
*

*Here is the my code*

*

Calendar myCal = Calendar.getInstance();

 myCal.set(myCal.get(Calendar.YEAR), myCal.get(Calendar.MONTH),

  myCal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), 10, 30, 00);

myCal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SUNDAY);

myCal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.MONDAY);

myCal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.FRIDAY);


PendingIntent senderPi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(

  AddAlarmActivity.this, db.getNextId(), AlarmIntent,

  PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

almMgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, myCal.getTimeInMillis(), 
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY,senderPi);

Please give me a good suggestions for this. 

Thank YOU!
