[android-developers] How to set the color of listView unused area in 2.3.3
How to set the color of listView unused area. in 2.3.3. I have my list view with layout_height as match_parent. I want listView to fill the entire height so that I can have the same color, event listeners etc. This was never a problem until 2.3.3 version, (Motorola Droid3, Droid X). Now the empty area at the bottom of the listview gets a default gray / white color that I cannot change.

[android-developers] Re: Career as an Andoid developer. Is there any point?
Unless there is a stackoverflow or out of memory issue I do not see any point in having a Force Close. If I catch all runtime exceptions around a block of code the OS should ignore all exceptions inside that call block. Maybe some Force Close decision is about taking care of memory leaks or other security sensitive issues. I believe getting an earful from Bruce Schneier will improve the security layers quite a bit. For example we could shorten the long list of permissions. Sorry about throwing out name here.

[android-developers] Re: Career as an Andoid developer. Is there any point?
Android has been a great platform for developing apps as a hobby. It is far better than any other Java based mobile platform that I had tried. I wish java-api-first is not the case in the future. Java AWT/ Swing has been basically a failure in GUI(considering all the time a effort went into developing it). Unfortunately my guess is few AWT/ Swing guys are playing big role on Android. Now consider developing your own SWT before developing your Eclipse on Android. Developing apps for android is fun. I just do not want to put a nail on every null to avoid force close. Now even an ardent Agile fan would call me a bad programmer. That is where I see religion (or cult). How about get a few ex-ms people on board. Maybe they can resolve the issue with the new incarnation of "Blue Screen of Death" called "Force Close". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: IP infringements on the Market
Very interesting topic. I would like to learn more about it. I have few apps in the market and several others prototyped. I am concerned about how do I know if I am violating any copyrights or other IP. For example I took a picture of a globe and edited the image and put it as an app icon. I have copied icons that come with the simulator and modified them and bundled with my app. For my next game app I am getting tempted to put some Disney characters. Are these actions violating any laws? These are my pet projects. I cannot afford to dig much into these concerns. It will be great if someone in this forum tell me some general guidelines.

[android-developers] Re: Save file to sd card?
I believe there is only one way to create files and directories it must be in the sd card. There are two ways to save data in files a) via SharedPreferences and b) save in sdcard. The only other way to save data in the phone is in the database. If you use SharedPreferences generally speaking the data is not available to other apps. Also if your data in the XML file is large it is better to save it in the sd card. Developers are not following any standard(rather common sense) in creating files and directories. Most developers, including some google employees create app name directory in the root of sd card. I think the best way is to create directory like this "/sdcard/ com.google.android.apps.listen". I have been doing like this "/sdcard/ com/myco/myapp" and I am going to change my practice :-). You can use regular Java file API classes to create and access files. You will have to make sure that you set user permission for writing into the file in your manifest file. Other important thing is obtain the root of the "/sdcard" using API calls and do not hard code it. --dipu On Apr 22, 11:03 am, Tommy wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to find the best way to save files to the phone.

[android-developers] finishPackage() vs restartPackage()
I think there should be a finishPackage() function similar to the restartPackage(). There should be a way to stop some tasks without killing the process. For example sometimes I need to stop music running in the background, alarm going in the background etc. It takes way too many steps to stop such apps. Specially at 6 in the morning when I try to stop that annoying rooster alarm :) restartPackage() issues death notification. Most of the time I do not want to do that. I would like to simply close(finish) a task normally. Thanks, dipu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Restarting an activity within a tab (TabActivity)
I also have not found any way to RESTART an activity. For tab activity what I do is reload the widgets at onResume() call.
