My Droid was stolen :(. I received an empty Droid box in Southern California today. We signed for the package, but the box had been visibly tampered with. The thief stole the Droid and SIM card but left the charger/USB cable in the box. It was definitely stolen by a Brightpoint or Fedex employee.

+1 for Game Mode As others have mentioned, background processes can invoke the GC. On my development device, I used to have Taskiller installed for the occasional Kill-All but I realized that it would regularly invoke the GC about once a minute. I think the Taskiller widget was causing this to hap

I agree 100% with Robert. For a real-time video game, you want to stay away from High-level GUI components. Kofa, it sounds like you are making good progress. Are you using a SurfaceView to draw the world and cities onto yet? I recommend that you do not work on the Game Menu yet. In my opinion, t

This is a good start. There are a few other features that would be incredibly useful. 1) Better market search (as already suggested by Tim H.), including autocomplete and commonly misspelled etc 2) Promo codes to give out to users and reviewers for free app downloads I also agree that we need a b

Hi Andre, I got around 60 fps without bullets on my Google Ion device. When touching the screen it would go around 53 and when shooting it would dip just under 40. Before doing my test, I closed all apps with Task Killer. You can remove the status bar by calling the following in your Activity.onC

Hi Andre, Everyone here has brought up great points: 1) Matrix manipulation is slow. Instead, rotate and store bitmaps ahead of time (note: initial loading time will be longer). 2) Don't use getter/setters, instead make commonly used attributes public. 3) Don't call System.currentTimeMillis() or o

Are you drawing in a separate thread (like the LunarLander example)? If not and your game is real-time, I seriously recommend switching to that model. Also, I don't believe you should be seeing a slow-down in compatibility mode... In my experience, it has worked pretty well. Are you testing this

I've seen this happen a few times (never on my own app however).. Is it possible that you still have icon.png in your drawables folder and it's just somehow being used instead? On Dec 3, 2:55 pm, Mark Wyszomierski wrote: > Hi, > > I set my app icon in my manifest file like this: > >            ..

2009-11-02 Thread Jason Arora
You should use SurfaceView if there will be a limited number of sprites (~20 sprites). Otherwise, OpenGL is better for high-intensity graphics. The SDK includes some game samples and I recommend that you start with those. The Lunar Lander example is especially good and is a complete, real-time gam
