This is because the different machines have different debug keys which
require different map keys. However, regardless of your machine, if you
have your original release key, that should continue to work for your
release build.

You need a new key for each unique signing certificate. On different
machines, the debug certificate will be different, hence you'll need a
different key.

Pull your debug key off the old machine, if you can. Or build in release
mode when testing your map.

Bro, relax. This is a volunteer group and you posted your question late at

Did you solve this issue?  I have not been able to get searchmanager

Re: [android-developers] External Storage lockout in 4.4 update on some Samsung devices.

[Nathan]

And get this. Apparently Google Play Support is blaming me. 

==
"What I suggest is that you contact the developer and ask them when they are
going to release an update that is compatible with Kit Kat. After they do
this the app should work as it did before you perform the update."

I got pretty steamed and have been contacting them. 
 
Someone responded:
"your target SDK is 17, platform version 4.2. Currently the customer's 
device is running Kit Kat, platform version 4.4.2."
"For the reasons stated above it looks like the app is not compatible with 
the user's device."

Well, apparently Google Play support doesn't know the difference between 
target SDK and MaxSDK, but they are willing to think that they do. Or maybe 
they do have some information that suggests rolling the targetSDk will fix 
this problem. But there is no such information at the Android developer 
site. Really wish it were that simple.

Haven't you heard about Google Mindreader -- part of the latest Play

Sorry, could not resist :)

PS - that's a very nice looking widget.

Any news regarding this issue?

I don't know if I didn't pay attention before or if it's a brand new 
feature of the Play app. Now you can rate an app immediately after tapping 
Install (or Buy), *before* the install completes! How can you have an 
opinion for an app you actually didn't use at all?

No wonder my app 3 months ago had a 4.4 rate and now has a 4.16 rate. And 
the last update was 4 months ago...

Thanks for any clues

[android-developers] Re: How to inject mock objects in Android?

[Andrew Mackenzie]

I think with your current code, getInstance() will return null in your test.
You might want to check that

Well, the quickest hackyest thing that works fine and will get you running 
is:
- add a setter to your service class that overrides the assignment to mBar 
that is done on construction.
Depending on how you structure you packages for test, you can leave it 
package default scope and not publicly expose it beyond the test code.

If you want to spend more time, then you might want to look at Dagger and 
have it @Inject the Bar into the service when the system Constructs it for 
you, and then you override the Injection during the test with a Test Dagger 
Module that injects the Mock.

[android-developers] Padding offsets for a TextView to perfectly align with an EditText

[Simon Giddings]

I am building a layout where text is displayed in a TextView.
When the user taps on the text, I want to display an EditText widget to 
allow for the text to be modified.

I use a relative layout to ensure have the two widgets in the same position.
The edit text is declared first and then the the TextView is made to align 
to the top and bottom of the EditText.

However, I have seen that the text displayed in the EditText is offset down 
and to the left.
I need to ensure that, for the user, the text does not appear to move at 
all when "switching" to the EditText.

Do I need to use padding values to align the text displays ?
If I do, is this guaranteed to work on all displays ?

Here is the relevant part of my layout :
