I think what Inderjeet meant is that non technical users don't make a conscious choice to use linux. For example, they won't install linux on their desktop PC. The G1 uses a linux kernel and that's about it. Saying that G1 users are linux users is about as useful as saying that people who have Tiv

You could try grabbing it in dispatchKeyEvent(), however if another view (visibly) has focus, then your application's users are going to be confused when pressing the trackball does not invoke the selected item, but does something else instead. Can you make your views non-focusable instead? On

I have this problem too. Hopefully google will fix the problem and remove the one star rankings caused by the download issue. This is obviosly going to affect everyone who publishes to the marketplace so just balance it out. On Feb 28, 2:39 pm, "carnivalcom...@gmail.com" wrote: > I agree that Go
