Hi Xavier,
I just updated my SDK to 2.3 and ADT to 8.01.
I updated 'default.properties' to include:
proguard.config=proguard.cfg
proguard.cfg is in my project root directory.
One of the entries in my proguard.cfg is
'-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses'
When I run a release with ant (or export with Eclipse) it appears that
the proguard.cfg is not being read by proguard. I get the following
message from proguard.
Warning: there were 247 unresolved references to classes or
interfaces.
[proguard] You may need to specify additional library jars
(using '-libraryjars'),
[proguard] or perhaps the '-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses'
option.
Any ideas or suggestions.

Robert, if you use the new build system and the default proguard
config file, you shouldn't have any problem.
you will however need Ant 1.8 as we use a new feature.
I'm going to add a check on this to make sure people don't use a
version of ant that's too low.

One of the main issue when implementing crash reporting tools is... where do I send my reports ? ACRA solves this problem with a simple solution : reports are sent to a Google Docs Form ! So you don't need to code your own reports receiver scripts and you don't have to find dedicated hosting for that... let's use Google's servers ! :) A first version of ACRA has been successfully used in a few apps already on the market, and we are now preparing to publish a v2 which allows developers to replace the annoying force close dialog with fully configurable notification systems : * Silent : the user experience is not altered compared to standard android apps. The force close dialog is displayed, but ACRA tries to send a report. If it fails, reports will be sent on application restart in a separate Thread. * Toast notification to inform the user that a crash report has been sent (and you may add that it can be disabled in the preferences screen) * Status bar notification which leads to a dialog asking the user if he's ok to send a report. You can even add an input field to let him comment the issue. We are now looking for devs who would like to test the library and it's different notification modes. All the information, screenshots and step-by-step usage guide are available in that Wiki page :http://code.google.com/p/acra/wiki/ACRAHowTo2 Devs who would like to use the v1 and it's basic (but working) functionnality can follow this link :http://code.google.com/p/acra/wiki/ACRAHowTo2 Any comment/discussion is open about ACRA, we really want your opinion about it.

The results show the Dalvik VM to be 20 times slower than a modern
JIT-enabled JVM running J2ME and 25-50 times slower than a C program
performing the same operations on a similarly powered mobile phone.
For example, this simple iteration over an empty method 2 million

public void performanceTest1() {

Doing something a little more complex like calculating the imaginary

I do not know if Archos has some kinds of manual verification other than to check that the application works fine on 800x480 (and through HDMI 1280x720) screens, perhaps Archos also checks that the app is original and not automatically generated by non-coders using some kinds of Android app generators where you input an RSS feed and it automatically outputs a duplicated app that simply displays the contents from that RSS feed. I think this is a great idea for Archos, to try to get the attention from 1000 of the best Android developers, to submit their apps tohttp://appslib.combecause Android developers are often the most influential early-adopters. So if 1000 Android developers are impressed by the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, it may inspire them to develop more apps for WVGA medium density since Archos is the first and only 4.8 WVGA medium density Android product on the market. Also, having more apps, and having more developers enthusiastic about higher resolution Android development, will encourage more consumers to look into it. For now, only free apps are supported inhttp://appslib.com, but later paid apps will work as well. My suggestion would be for Marketplaces in general to offer a Premium subscription plan for around $3 per month or something like that, to offer full access to installing and updating Premium applications. This way developers can decide if they want to sell their apps or include them in the premium access plan, and as well if they want to offer a purchase rebate for premium access subscribers. This way, the developers of the most useful and most used apps would automatically get paid more from the premium subscription plan. Probably that many more users won't mind paying that unlimited premium access, pirates will probably not care to pirate anymore since premium access subscription would be so affordable and this way more money would be distributed to developers.

[android-developers] Re: Override in call-screen - Security Bug or Feature?
Seems to me if we could come up with a pleasant icon of warning that it is not the default call-screen that my alleviate some problems have the icon clickable with an information screen/toast On Nov 4, 4:24 pm, Jarman jarman.andr...@gmail.com wrote: Sorry, I meant she of course, too fast on the keyboard :) This has been resolved, it´s not a bug. This is the response I got when i reported it as a possible security issue: It depends on what you mean by override the in-call screen. In the discussion groups this *usually* comes up when someone wants to totally replace the in-call UI with a new design (which should still be fully functional, but just look different.) This unfortunately isn't possible in Android 1.x or 2.0 because 3rd party apps aren't (yet) allowed full access to the telephony APIs. But you're just talking about the ability to pop up some other activity on top of the in-call UI. Looking at your app's description, I assume it listens for incoming call events, and then eventually launches some other activity on top of the in-call screen. Sure, there's nothing preventing this; any 3rd party app (with appropriate permissions) can launch new activities whenever it wants. (You're right that a malicious app could do this and be extremely annoying, but the user can always hit HOME, and get back to the real InCallScreen by pressing the green button or selecting the in-call notification.) Also FWIW, this app (and the similar ones also in the market) do require at least a couple of permissions marked as dangerous, so at least the user will see a warning before installing it... Bottom line: no security hole here. It's possible for an app (with the right permissions) to be annoying, but even so it's still fairly easy for the user to recover.

(I didn't use it much, at the time there was no 3g in this area. Plus, submitting incoming phone #s to a 3rd party service was really skeevy.)

I have managed to override the in-call screen from the Java API (i.e. not modifying the source). (If you want to se it happen, download Jarmans ReverseLookup from the Market, it´s free) Reply from Dianne: It can't be done in a supportable way without modifying the source. I don't know how you went about your solution, but there is probably a good chance that it would be broken in a future version of the platform. Actually there could even be a chance of it bring deliberately broken if security concerns get raised (disrupting the standard in-call information like this without the user approving is something that is likely to get filed as a security bug in the platform). What do think about this? Best Regards Jarman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Is your Android app on Archos Market ?
Charbox your slander definition seems to be somewhat unique and different. In most posts I see a constant theme of a developer who bought an Archos device and who loves it detailing specific issues that hamper the user experience.. On Nov 7, 6:38 pm, Charbax char...@gmail.com wrote: alsutton has spent huge amounts of time over the past couple months posting disparaging posts against Archos on thehttp://forum.archosfans.com , posting every type of unfounded and slanderous allegation against Archos that one can nearly think of, that were not sensible degree of scepticism, that are part of him having a premeditated agenda in trying to publicly attack Archos reputation, stir controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic discussions on the unofficial Archosfans forum, that is in fact about participating in spreading FUD about a competitor (appslib vs andappstore) on public internet forums without a full disclosure. When you are contemplating to prepare a court case against a company, you don't go spend 2 months disparaging that competing company on the internet forums for that company (maybe even blogs). That'd be like Microsoft employees spreading lies about apple on apple fansites and forums a couple months before they announce to sue each other. alsutton's favorite Archos bashing theme was to basically recommend that nobody should buy the Archos 5 Internet Tablet with Android because it would in his knowledgeable and expert mind and with all his exclusive contacts in the Android development community (even with him having all kinds of contacts with Google engineers), that he could always with all kinds of certainty say that Archos would never be able to use the Google Apps and the Google Marketplace. He posted this speculation of his as fact on the forum for dozens and dozens of times and he would bring it up in dozens of different threads even bringing things like this up in totally unrelated threads. If, as a moderator of that site, I hadn't actually deleted several of the worst of such unrelated allegations posted by alsutton on the forum (and which I somewhat regret now since it would have been better to have the complete archive of his worst offending posts), you would be able to find many more such attacks on Archos reputation in the posts throughout all his posts athttp://forum.archosfans.com/search.php?author_id=44763sr=posts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
