Re: [android-developers] Eclipse tools don't exist!
Thanks Romain! After a bit of Wiresharking, playing around and talking to the proxy admin we worked out that the entry for a SOCKS proxy had to be cleared in the Eclipse settings. Eclipse always tries to use a SOCKS proxy if there's an entry and doesn't fall back to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy if it can't connect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Programmatically check whether Market shows paid apps
I'm on Optus in Australia. Optus is holding out waiting for a bigger cut from Google because they're greedy bastards. If you send a market intent everything seems to work but the user gets a "program can't be found" message.

I found that this worked for every preference I had that persisted a
value, but the 'Clear Cache' button doesn't seem to work. I tried
extending DialogInterface then using this code:
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
if(which == DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE){
callChangeListener(true);
}
super.onClick(dialog, which);
}
but I still get nothing back from the preference listener. Any ideas?

[android-developers] Re: Growing pains for Android developers??
Android 2 SDK released: 27th Oct Droid released: 6th Nov So that's 9 days (with a weekend) to test our apps at the new resolution, make any necessary fixes, then deploy to the Market. I don't think that's enough, and ultimately it's the Droid users that suffer.

[android-developers] Re: Growing pains for Android developers??
I'm not sure about anyone else but I just could not work out how to buy an app from SlideMe. It had steps that it wanted you to do from my desktop which isn't a big help when I'm on the bus! I was hoping they would make it big as paid apps aren't available on Android Market for my phone carrier. My app has a small bug on QVGA devices (HTC Tattoo) but apart from that everything is OK. I've programmed for Windows Mobile before and I think Microsoft's new resolutions were well though out compared to Google's. If you take the original res (HVGA for Android and QVGA for WM) you'll see that Microsoft never made a res smaller than the res everyone was used to. I have no ides how they came up with 854 x 480. I'm also not happy about having to make a 2D icon when I had a nice 3D one that met the guidelines! :) On Nov 13, 11:42 pm, Kaj Bjurman wrote: > You can test Android 2.0 applications in the emulator.

[android-developers] Preference change notifying the main Activity
Hi, I think I've missed something in how Android is supposed to work! I have the main Activity with a menu option that opens the preferences screen. What I need is a way for any changes that were made to be communicated back to the main Activity as soon as the preference is activated. At the moment the only way I could get it working is by using the intent data that gets sent back when the prefs activity closes but this isn't really enough. The reason why it needs to be instantaneous is that one of the preferences is a 'Clear cache' button, so I would like the data to be deleted when the user requests it and no later! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
