Re: [android-developers] Re: Content Provider for Private Database?

2011-03-29 Thread Scott McCormack
Based on this discussion, I've decided to use a content provider for access to 
an internal private database for my app. It simply makes the data access 
simpler for me, and there's a really nice go-by in the NotePad sample. However, 
I'm worried about your comment about the leaked database connection. I'm still 
new to this arena. What are the consequences of leaking the database 
connection?

Assuming I can safely place ads in my apps in such a way that they
aren't bothered by it, is 10-20 clicks per 1000 an appropriate
estimate to use for budgeting?

  The catch is you have to have enough of a user base to make it worthwhile.
  While there are some here that are making pennies a day on ads, there are
 others that are making hundreds, if not thousands a day.  You need to really
 evaluate for a particular app if a) does it have enough of a user base to
 generate many clicks (think about 10-20 clicks per 1000 ad views) and b) do
 I have a place in my app that I can safely place an ad without angering my
 users and such that it will be viewed frequently and for longer than 10
 seconds.

  I thought you get paid per ad that is displayed even without a click.
  After all, you still gave the advertiser the eyeballs.

[android-developers] Styles not styling in Eclipse?

2011-03-14 Thread Scott McCormack
I've tried using some styles, both standard android:style ones and
those of my own creation, and for some reason the Graphical Layout
view of Eclipse won't display my views in the defined styles.  They
simply default to the standard default style.  Is this common?  See my
xml below.

In styles.xml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
resources
style name=SmallBlackText parent=@android:style/
TextAppearance.Small 
item name=android:textColor#00/item
/style
/resources

In list_item.xml (ignore the ..., I just shortened it up):
LinearLayout ... 

TextView
android:ellipsize=end
android:id=@+id/location
android:gravity=left|bottom
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:paddingBottom=5dip
android:paddingLeft=5dip
android:paddingRight=5dip
android:singleLine=true
android:text=@string/default_location
style=@style/SmallBlackText  /

/LinearLayout

$0.20 per click sounds good. What is a typical amount per impression?

Thanks for the heads up about APP/Leads. I looked into it, and will definitely 
add it to my list of options.
