Re: [android-developers] New app doesnt show in Google Play
and, to finalize: this is a bug in Google Play. the behavior of all stores should be the same, and if a declaration is invalid, there should be some way to find out (like some specific error message in dev. environment or console) other than trial and error Am Dienstag, 2.

Re: [android-developers] New app doesnt show in Google Play
yeah, I can see it now, too. So, to summarize: a tablet app with only one decl like this: will NOT be visible in the on-device Play app, but it WILL be visible and installable in the web store. an app with this: will also not be visible on-device BUT with THIS: it is visible in all stores.

just changed that and uploaded. Now the number of compatible devices has been REDUCED from 1204 to 315, but they're all tablets, so this may be ok.

Re: [android-developers] New app doesnt show in Google Play
the app cannot be found through the name, or by any other means, if you search from within the Play app. It can be found only from the play store in the web. I think the reason is that I use the supports-screen qualifier with an * android:requiresSmallestWidthDp* attribute. Somewhere down in the developer docs, it says that this attribute "is used to enable filtering for your application on services such as Google Play. However, Google Play currently does not support this attribute for filtering (on Android 3.2), so you should continue using the other size attributes" In essence: it does not work, hasnt been working for over a year, and nobody at Google cares to fix it.

[android-developers] New app doesnt show in Google Play
Hello, I have just released a new tablet-only app to the Play store. I can search from a desktop browser, and use the URL to see the market entry and install the app from my tablet devices (Nexus 7 and 10). However, when I open the play store on one of the tablets and do a search for any of the most used keywords, or even for the title of the app, there are ZERO results? What is happening here? The app has been there for some 18 hours now.. thanks chris -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Deadlock running app on Nexus 10, Android 4.2.2
ok, I have changed the code such that the frequent calls into native code (in method validateKey) don't happen any longer. They were unneeded anyway, as the internal cleanup thread can safely assume that the keys are valid. With this change, I can no longer reproduce this issue. However, I am still left with the impression that Android may at any point suspend background threads in favor of the UI thread regardless of their state and whether they hold locks. If this is true, it imposes very hard requirements on the programmer to avoid cases where lock contention between the UI thread and a background thread can lead to a deadlock, as in my case. At the very least, I would expect this to be documented somewhere, preferably in a prominent place.. chris -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Hello Kostya, havent tried to reproduce yet, so I cannot say whether its always in the same place. Will try that next. However, you will agree that even seeing it once is enough reason for an emergency call. I am considering all options, really. But before I delve into speculative approaches, I would like to understand what is happening. My hope was/is that someone will look at the file and say something like "aah, here's what you have overlooked" or maybe, "you should read chapter X in the developer docs". Or maybe "been there, done that...".

[android-developers] creating a complex tablet app
Hello, I have a rather complex app that runs on tablets only. The complexity stems from the fact that the app allows navigation in a tree to an arbitrary depth, where each node in the tree may have a different appearance (depending on the node type). In addition, I have 3 tabs, that allow changing between the navigation view, and 2 other views. On the left, I have a list. This scenario forces me to dynamically create and replace fragments all the time. First, let me say that I started this project expecting that programming a UI like the one described above would be about as demanding as on a desktop platform. I have 20 years of experience in creating desktop or web apps on different OS's using 3 different programming languages, so I thought I had seen it all. Little did I know. I can now say that the Android UI framework is the worst I have ever seen. In my opinion, it is absolutely unfit for fairly complex applications. It is a phone OS, period. Dont even think of using it as an "enterprise programming platform". I have spent almost one year now creating my app, and I am still encountering random misbehavior from fragment management (fragments re-appearing from nowhere, duplicate action bar entries). When I hear the name "FragmentManager" I shudder. I must say that for the first time in my professional life I am at the point where I consider to simply give up an effort that has already cost me an arm and a leg. My suggestion to Google, if you ever want to see good tablet apps appear (no wonder there arent any), is this: get some good, experienced designers on this project - not the teenagers that appear on the android developer feed in youtube, let them gather requirements and design and implement something that really makes sense and works. Its not that difficult - it has been done many times before. thanks, chris -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
