Sounds like the parameter is a 16:16 fixed point number, and that's what the method name suffix is hinting at. It's glClearDepthx, not glClearDepthi for a reason. http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/OES/OES_fixed_point.txt -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 16.01.2011 11:09 поль

I've already tried that. It works if the bitmap is smaller than the ImageView, it aligns to the right edge correctly. But, if the bitmap is larger, its cropped at both left and right side. Seems like an ImageView can't expand to be larger than it's parent, even inside an FrameLayout. Any trick to

Hallo, my App uses a WebView. If the Webview is laoded by: mwebView.loadData(htmlString, "text/html","utf-8"); all worked fine, including saveState and restoreState in onSaveInstanceState () and onRestoreInstanceState(). I added images to htmlString. Therefore I had to replace loadData by mwebV

Agreed. The intended use case for move to sd was for games or multimedia applications, but I see users wanting to move even small applications. It's actually a valid case for applications that have large code, or use a large amount of data / cache storage (so move to sd makes sense), and also hav

SlidingDrawer definitely exists. It may be there is a problem with it and the Eclipse UI builder. Try adding it to your XML manually. Here is a trivial sample project showing the use of a SlidingDrawer: https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Fancy/DrawerDemo On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at
