[android-developers] Re: New Android emulator skin for T-Mobile G1

2008-10-11 Thread Olaf Encke

I fear you wouldn't have needed to do that, since we already have
multiple Dream/G1 skins in black and white available at

http://www.android.encke.net/
and
http://teavuihuang.com/android/

It seems you have missed their releases.
But nevertheless,
Happy coding.

[android-developers] Re: Charting engine within Android?

2008-10-10 Thread Olaf Encke

> Planned? My guess is no, only because few applications need charting and

I beg to differ. I think a lot of business applications, science tools
and even some system/network utilities could really benefit from a
builtin charting api. It would make developing such applications a
breeze and with consistent (and themeable) charting graphs Android
would present itself as a prime business platform.

Since flash memory in mobile devices is now at 256-512 MiB standard I
think an investment of 1-2 MiB for a lean charting API would be well
worth it instead of each app developer struggling to create his or her
own charts which thus wouldn't look consistent on a systemwide scale
or resign from implementing charts alltogether, leaving a lot to
desire in the resulting app usability. Just look at WinMob for a lot
of bad examples.

Yes that would be one way to do it, but my goal would be for (most)
all charts in Android applications to deliver a consistent user
experience and the only way to make sure we'll come close to meeting
it in my opinion would be to integrate one suitable charting engine
into the Android core.

I think at the moment Android lays too much focus on the "cool" gagdet
apps with location based services and I just hope dearly that the gps
power drain won't completely ruin the usability of all those
applications.
On the other hand the classic reason for buying an expensive phone/
data plan is business use and visualizing data in charts for quick
analysis is a typical requirement in this scenario.

That's my opinion.

[android-developers] Charting engine within Android?

2008-10-09 Thread Olaf Encke

Does anyone know if there is an Android class available or planned
that provides a charting engine similar to the Google Chart API?

I do not want to use the Google Chart API itself or other cloud based
solutions since I think it would be a bad user experience and a big
trust issue if the user is forced to allow web access to each little
app that wouldn't need it otherwise and then living in fear of it
phoning home or connecting to the cloud more than necessary and thus
draining the monthly online traffic quota.

Thanks for any helpful reply.

[android-developers] HTC Touch HD skin for Android Emulator ready.

2008-09-24 Thread Olaf Encke

Hello @all.

After creating the HTC Dream skin I got my hands on a nice HTC Touch
HD pic and couldn't resist to turn it into a (two) skin(s) for the
Android Emulator as well. So have a blast and a crazy Android
experience on a shiny new WVGA (480x800) device.

Go grab it here (together with the HTC Dream skin):
http://www.android.encke.net

Happy coding.

[android-developers] Emulator Skins for HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1

2008-09-24 Thread Olaf Encke

Hello Android fans and developers.

I just finished building the first HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1 skins for the
Android emulator and would like to share them with you. Right now I
have done the black version of the phone in portrait as well as in
landscape mode. They are tested to work with the latest Android SDK
version 1.0r1 (they also work with the 0.9beta).

You can get them here: http://www.android.encke.net/ (preview
screenshots available)

I hope you like them and can put them to good use.
