Re: [android-developers] sample code in GPL3 release

2010-10-07 Thread Christian Buchner
Whenever you publish GPL'ed code, you retain the copyright on the pieces
that you've contributed.
This is why the GPL is enforcable - you can hit GPL violators by means of a
copyright lawsuit.

So the correct thing to do (IMHO) is to leave the orginal copyright notice
intact, but to put the
GPL header on top. That is assuming the Apache License is indeed GPL
compatible.

Re: [android-developers] Please help me with calculating direction from point A to B

2010-09-22 Thread Christian Buchner
this sounds trivial to me.

Just compensate the error that is introduced by not actually pointing the
device north by subtracting that error from your arrow's pointing angle. No
need to change any algorithm, just compensate for the "dude, you're holding
it wrong"

Re: [android-developers] Nokia inviting Developers to become an Ovi store publisher.

2010-09-20 Thread Christian Buchner
Does the OVI store sell software to users of Android devices? So far I
thought this was a Nokia-specific thing.

Re: [android-developers] android emulator is slow on vmware

2010-09-17 Thread Christian Buchner
Try Installing Android-x86 in a virtual machine. This is much faster and
works if you don't use any machine specific native code (NDK, JNI). Their
Froyo port is not yet 100% complete, but the Android 1.6 release is very
stable.

Create your own AVD image with 1024x600 screen resolution and optionally
use the layout fix for the on screen buttons that was posted in this group
before.

P.S: I wish people would use the search function more often ;)

Re: [android-developers] Can't find my posts :(

2010-09-17 Thread Christian Buchner
This won't happen to you if you become member of this group with a Google
Mail account. Create a filter rule to tag each incoming post with a label
"android-developers" and set it for immediate archival so it doesn't clutter
your inbox. Now you can access all android-developers postings by clicking
on the label. With the powerful Google Mail search feature you should be
able to find any thread containing your postings - or any topic that you're
interested in.

A lot of people may be getting their apps from shady download sites instead
through the Android Market (app packs, often packaged as rar archives and
uploaded to share hosting sites or distributed through bittorrent).

Sorry, I cannot help you there - I am not yet familiar with theGoogle APIs
on Android.

You could certainly use the sqlite3 API to access these database files
directly, but relying on this is not guaranteed to work in future Android
revisions. They already changed the file's locations between Android 1 and
Android 2.

On Android 2.x:

adb shell *sqlite3* /data/data/com.google.*android*.googleapps/databases/gls.db
"
*select* * from *meta*";

On Android 1.x the database has a different name. Google it ;)
