Hi Matthew, I am sorry that you didn't get a better answer before, but this is, unfortunately, the only way of doing it with the existing APIs. This kind of feedback is important to us because it tells us what APIs application developers need. As for your second question, the values returned are

Re: [android-developers] Turning off "save to SD Card"...problem?

Yep, I guess the docs explain all the situations possible. Like, SDCard removed/unmounted. So the decision has to be taken considering all these and how your app should behave under such circumstances. Kumar Bibek http://techdroid.kbeanie.com http://www.kbeanie.com On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 12:05

[android-developers] Turning off "save to SD Card"...problem?

What will happen if I turn off the ability to move an app to the sd card for an app that currently has that feature? Will it just move the app to the phone...no problems? I asked because I turned it on not realizing some things would break or not work consistently. REALLY need the read the docs be

Re: [android-developers] Spinner drop-down with blank lines

Well, it's just a problem of wrong text color on a custom UI from the manufacturer. Ask the user for the model of his phone and the OS version. I am sure, you can reproduce the problem on a similar device. Say, for example, your spinner items text color is black, which you have mentioned, and the

No, I mean defining a value like this: 140dp and then using it like this: I used this for widget sizing, and had a default fallback dimens.xml in "res/values" (without alternate qualifiers). Based on my user's feedback, this produced zero-sized (invisible) widget layouts. Was this supposed t

Re: [android-developers] Re: Tracking someone else using Latitude (Android Tutorial Wanted)

The Latitude app takes your co-ordinates from your phone, uploads it to the Google servers, and then, it gets pushed everywhere else. I guess, this is what you should also be doing. You can use the Latitude APIs to update your own location. But looking at the API reference, I don't think it suppor

Re: [android-developers] Re: Will no longer support Android 1.5

Oh and I believe on Market that if you put up a new version of your app with a higher minSdkVersion, the most recent older version will still be visible to older devices. That is, the .apks you upload are never deleted; a new version just supersedes an older one for the devices it is compatible wi
