[android-developers] Re: How to detect the state change of Bluetooth?

Hi, You are not actually turning on Bluetooth. You are just sending out an Intent that claims that Bluetooth is on, which the status bar receives and then turns on the Bluetooth icon. Nick On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 12:40 AM, Stanley.lei wrote: > > Hi Nick, > > Thanks for your reply. > > To turn

Answer: Thou SHALT use a param string array that is exactly the same size as the number of replacement params you have (no re-using a big one for multiple queries like I was doing -- my example is misleading). [ This is arguably a bug, I think replacements should be driven by the number of wi

Thanks so much for the info Romain. I'll try to do my best within the SDK, I can deal with missing some functionality... I'll look into the Code and see what's possible without going into the internal classes. Thanks again. On Feb 19, 11:32 am, Romain Guy wrote: > > So, does that mean it is acc

[android-developers] Re: Charging for upgrading from free to paid version with new features

David, If I understand correctly what you are saying, a developer can upload an updated version of an application and then set a price. Others seem to suggest that the application package name must be changed (a new application must be created) in order to allow the developer to set a price other

[android-developers] Re: Driving Directions using Google Map APIs

Does an application like this (one that provides directions while operating a vehicle) violate the Market terms and conditions? I ask only because the iPhone had a similar 3rd party app that was taken down for this reason - for the iPhone, you can't make apps like this because they don't want the l

I think you're right. The changes seem to be buffered. In my experience if you setContentView to two different things, only the last one shows up. On Feb 19, 11:06 am, "nEx.Software" wrote: > I think onCreate runs all the way through before displaying the UI. > I just tried this and found it to

I think onCreate runs all the way through before displaying the UI. I just tried this and found it to be the case. On Feb 18, 9:37 pm, guptha wrote: > hi friends, > I 'm beginner in Android ,To start with i was asked to do a simple > task ,i need to make blue and red screen appear on the screen
