I dont think it's fair to generally badmouth the judging process and with this the winners, too. Many of the winning apps are pretty well done , well polished or at least with unique ideas. Thats much more than the average of all apps in the market. And even there might be cases where an app didn't win even though it might be better than a winning app, you should not generalize this for all the apps. This is not fair imo.

I submitted Graviturn for category Games: Arcade/Action ( http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.fheft.graviturn ) . It's a little game where you tilt your phone to roll balls around in order to remove some but keep others (hard to explain). It's no big deal but at least it's unique, i think. I started developing in the first week of August (not knowing about the ADC) and when I was finished and started public beta testing, I read about the competition and decided to take part - just for the fun. It's my first playable game for Android but I hope people will like it (the feedback on the market is quite positive and encouraging, like 4.3 stars), even though I don't expect any chances in the ADC. Because I didn't focus on ADC, I've coded a lot since August 31 and did huge improvements to the game, but that won't help me in the competition of course... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Faster Canvas.drawLine() for rectangular lines?
Hello, I'm developing a SurfaceView based, vector-styled game, so I'm using Canvas.drawLine(startX, startY, stopX, stopY, Paint) very often. All those lines are rectangular (startX=stopX or startY=stopY). The TraceViewer shows me, that more than 50% of time are used to draw those lines (about 100 per frame). I read that drawLine is pretty slow on Android but I didn't find any suggestions for an alternative. What could be a faster method for this special case? I wouldn't need the Bresenham algorithm for example, which drawLine will use I guess. Any suggestions? (Besides 'use openGL', as it's too late for that) Regards, F Heft PS: If anyone's interested: The game still runs with a sufficient frame rate, but I want to improve wherever I can :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Garbage Collector - best practice
Hello, I didn't use much Java before Android so my knowledge concerning the gc is marginal. Now I'm developing a highly physics-based game and therefore I need to do many calculations each time step and many (25) timesteps per second. At the moment I'm almost only using local objects (float) in my methods, so I guess they are allocated every time the method is called (which might be, for example, 25*100 = 2500 times a second , for 100 objects with calculations on them). This causes massive activity of the garbage collector .. like freeing ~1 objects every 1-2 seconds (taking ~200ms on a real device). Now I really want to optimize that because even there's no noticable delay due to the GC (and the framerate is constant), this seems just not well. But I read on many documentations concerning Java optimization, that there is not much to optimize in modern versions of (desktop) Java, because the GC is fast enough. Does this apply to Android, too? Does the compiler optimize anything like frequently, steady allocated objects (like floats)? What would be best practice: keep all local objects and allocate and free them all the time or use class-global objects, even if they are only used inside one particular method (which is bad programming style but conserves GC)?

[android-developers] Re: Strange bug found when subtracting a float from another float, or a double from another double
The most important thing you should remember about float operations:
never '==' compare them.
---
if (floatNumber == 0) {}
---
will mostly fail because of the limited precision.
So you'd better do comparisons like that:
---
if (Math.abs(floatNumber) 0.001) {} // with a tolerance of your
choice
---

[android-developers] Re: SDK 1.5_r3 is available
Okay, so now I installed the usb_driver from the SDK R3 (which worked well after some messing around with Windows 7). But neither 'adb devices' nor DDMS recognize the Galaxy. Did I miss sth?

[android-developers] Re: SDK 1.5_r3 is available
I think I installed the wrong driver .. the driver in the folder usb_driver is only for two HTC devices and a general adb bridge. I tried to install the adb bridge-driver für the galaxy, but that didn't work. I wonder how you installed the driver for the galaxy .. did you just take the files out of the usb_driver folder? adb is enabled on the galaxy ..

[android-developers] Using orientation sensor to get 3 60° orientation?
Hello, I have a problem with working with the ORIENTATION values of the SensorManager. I would like to have some kind of 360°-value which directly shows me if the phone is in normal portrait (0°), landscape, portrait turned around (180°) or anything in between. So I could have, for example, an arrow that points to the floor (like gravity would do with a plummet) all the time, no matter how I tilt (sidewards) the phone. I thought this would be easy, but I'm pretty confused at the moment. First of all, the X value of the orientation-array seems to correspondent with how I turn the phone, BUT: if it's completely uprightly standing, this value is about 60° ... why not 0° (or 90°, 180°, 270°), as I would expect? Second: The value resets if I turn the phone and Android automatically changes screen orientation. So both in Portrait and in Landscape mode it will be sth. like 60° when the phone is in a 0° angel in real world. I set android:screenOrientation to landscape but this doesn't help anything :/ I want the app NOT to change orientation when I turn the phone, but I want it to get a continuous orientation value when I tilt the phone. Any ideas how to achieve that? To complicate matters further, I have a Samsung Galaxy, so at the moment I'm unable to use the phone for debugging (no adb connection) because Samsung hasn't made a driver yet -.- So it's hard for me to try out things and I hope anyone has a really helpful answer Best regards, Florian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
