[android-developers] Re: When will the next version of SDK be published
This is very disappointing ... There were hints that the new SDK will be published soon after announcing results of ADC Round-1. What happened? > A source inside Google reiterates that these snapshots are not > being made public only because of the instability and bugs. Isn't m5 already full with instabilities and bugs?? People from Google on this very forum call it "pre-alpha". We are accustomed to such problems. But it's a big difference between working with a buggy SDK and not having one at all :-(( On May 20, 10:14 am, "Shane Isbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, May 19, 2008 at 3:51 PM, Josh Guilfoyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I think you missed a subtext in the referenced post.

No idea but I hope very soon. IMO, it's not worth wasting any more time with this version.

[android-developers] Re: Displaying already existing activities
I'm facing exactly the same problem.
I'd also like to reuse an already started activity (A) in the
background
but no luck so far. I haven't tried singleInstance but I tried to set
various
launch flags (Intent.setLaunchFlags) on the Intent being used to
restart A,
however, always a new instance of A was created.
BTW, my activity B from where I try to reuse A is also a MapActivity.
I'd also like to set intent-filters on A so that it can be accessed
from
other activities, then one can end up with several instances of A
in the background...

[android-developers] Re: Discussion on media-sample-apps
Hi Megha Thank you for the samples. I'm sorry for bothering you again, but I just tried MediaPlayerTest and "Play Streaming Video" doesn't. I tried on Vista a few days ago, and now on Win-XP but it's the same, I'm getting a java.io.IOException in "mp.prepare()". I'm using: path = "http://daily3gp.com/vids/747.3gp"; as before and this is the only line I changed in your sample (line 77 in MediaPlayer_Video.java). My SDK is mp5-rc14. Can you try it over there, and/or possibly publish a sample with a real URL of a video included.

I'm still using m5-rc14, shall I upgrade to rc15? On some doc pages there are even references to m5-rc15b but I couldn't find any specifics. What's the difference?
