Re: [android-developers] Layout problem: equal margins in XML

2011-06-12 Thread Ted Hopp
I thought I had addressed that. Assuming that the smaller margins are at least the minimum, then the larger margins should shrink (the ListView should expand in that dimension) until they are equal all around. I think you are right that this cannot be done in XML alone, but I asked hoping that

Are there any downsides to using the same signing key for publishing apps under different Android Market accounts? (Different apps under each account.) Likewise, are there any problems in using different signing keys for different apps in the same account? I would assume not in both cases, but I

Thanks, Michael. We hadn't thought about the possible need to hand over the signing keys. That's a good argument against using our usual key pair. I'm a bit leery of publishing to one account and then asking the Google team to switch the app to another account. I've read postings here and on

The Google Market team is very responsive to requests for transferring your app to a different account. Did the app use the licensing library? If so, I imagine that the process wouldn't be quite so simple as asking the Google team to move it. Wouldn't it involve a new .apk file that used the
