Thank you! That is a ~200MB image uncompressed (8192 x 8192 x 3 bytes), and you have 16MB to work with. The simplest option is to use a smaller image to start with. The next-simplest option is to scale the image, as youken suggests, though this will take some time.

[android-developers] Re: Animations between Intents
The SDK sample app, APIDemos, has an example. Run it and select, App- Activity-Animation to see it. It should be easy to find the code portion for this. Beware that this won't work on all devices and the users can disable these animations. -Mike dg On Mar 9, 4:30 am, djdamage06 djdamag...@gmail.com wrote: Hello everybody, I've a succession of 2 Intent : Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(EntryPoint.this, MainClass.class); startActivity(intent); And I'd like an animation (which is present in res/anim) occurs during the transition between these 2 Intents...

[android-developers] Re: Is this the way to prefent ScrollView to overlap/go under the button bar?
You could try a linear layout as the top level layout and set the ScrollView layout_weight = 1 and the buttonbar layout to weight = 0; That worked for me in one of my apps. -Mike dg On Mar 8, 3:20 pm, Eelco eelcoaart...@gmail.com wrote: I want a scrollable table on my screen, and beneath that table some buttons, always visible. But default, the table is overlapping/going underneath the buttonbar.

[android-developers] Re: Restart LogCat without restarting eclipse?
Click the DDMS tab and ini the device tab there should be a down arrow button next to the screenshot button. Press that and all the way at the bottom should be reset ADB. Hope this helps.

[android-developers] Re: How to Upgrade Application without losing data.
It sounds like you may have installed the app with different signing keys. If you were launching the app on your device through Eclipse and then tried to install from the market then that is most likely the case. Another possibility is that you are using multiple PC's for development and the debug keys are different on each machine. Eclipse by default signs everything with the debug key. As long as you sign each version of the app with the same key you should have no problem installing new releases. You might need to take care of SQLite database upgrades yourself though if you change the schema.

[android-developers] Re: How do I simulate the Home key programmatically?
The below code should work for triggering the home screen. Having said that, unless you have a custom device lacking home and back buttons, this is probably a bad idea. As is an exit button. And an exit button that doesn't really exit and just dumps you to the home screen is baffling. Those things just go against how almost every Android app works.

[android-developers] Market Refund Policy
In December, there were new terms for the Market. A big note was You authorize Google to give the buyer a full refund of the Product price if the buyer requests the refund within 48 hours after purchase. It still seems that all references to the refund policy sitll state 24 hours. http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=enanswer=134336 So is it 48 or 24 hours officially? Is the 48 hours in the agreement just because the 24 hours never seemed to be a hard deadline. I noticed users refunding around 30 hours in the past.
